Bill Summary
Relative to MassHealth reimbursements to local educational authorities. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve access to vital health care services for school-age children in Massachusetts. It allows local educational authorities (LEAs) enrolled as MassHealth providers to seek reimbursement from MassHealth (the state's Medicaid program) for providing medical benefits to eligible school-age children, regardless of whether those children have individualized education programs or receive the services for free. The bill also requires LEAs to take reasonable measures to pursue claims for reimbursement from other liable third parties. Finally, it mandates that the proceeds from MassHealth reimbursements be used by LEAs to fund medical and nursing care programs in their schools.
