This webinar will provide an enhanced understanding of how school-based mental health (SBMH) services can be paid for through Medicaid, and why some services may be determined ineligible for payment in Medicaid. After the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered new guidance concerning the “free care rule,” Medicaid became a more important source of financing for school-based health services, including services for students with mental health conditions. Yet there is considerable confusion about how schools, school districts, or community providers can bill Medicaid for SBMH services, particularly when the student receiving care is enrolled in a Medicaid Managed Care plan. Through this webinar, we aim to clarify how it can be determined whether a given SBMH service will be reimbursable through Medicaid and by Medicaid Managed Care plans. We will also offer insights as to how school districts and SBMH program leaders might think about Medicaid as a potentially important source of financing.
