Federal matching funds under Medicaid are available for the cost of administrative activities that directly support efforts to identify and enroll potential eligibles into Medicaid and that directly support the provision of medical services covered under the state Medicaid plan. Administrative activities provided in schools may include: outreach, facilitating eligibility determination, program planning and coordination, training, and referral, coordination and monitoring of services.

Many of the administrative activities that are claimable to Medicaid are those associated with and in support of the provision of medical services reimbursable under Medicaid. (See Section IV., Subsection C., Activity Codes 5.b., 6.b., 7.b., and 9.b.). The medical services reimbursable by Medicaid that are provided in schools are: 1) medical services that are specified in a Medicaid eligible child’s IEP; and 2) EPSDT-type primary and preventive services provided in schools where third party liability requirements are met.

Schools can provide a wide range of health care and related services to their students, which may or may not be reimbursable under the Medicaid program. The services can be categorized as follows:

  • IDEA related health services.
  • Section 504” related health services.
  • General health care services.

Medicaid covers services included in an IEP under the following conditions:

  • The services are medically necessary and included in a Medicaid covered category (speech therapy, physical therapy, etc.).
What Speech-Language Pathology Services are Covered under Medicaid?

Services for individuals with speech, hearing, or language disorders are covered, meaning diagnostic, screening, preventive, or corrective services provided by or under the direction of a speech-language pathologist. This includes any necessary supplies or equipment. For additional information, please visit: ASHA.org
