Introduced Text

MassHealth reimbursement to schools for medical benefits and administrative activities.

This bill amends MassHealth reimbursement rules to allow local educational agencies to receive reimbursement for school-based medical services and administrative activities provided to eligible school-age children, regardless of their participation in special education programs. It defines terms such as "school-based services" and "school personnel" and mandates that reimbursement proceeds be used to fund school health services without replacing existing funding.
