Oklahoma SB1017 allows Medicaid coverage for educationally necessary school-based services for students with disabilities.

Oklahoma SB1017 modifies the state Medicaid program to allow coverage of educationally necessary school-based services for students with disabilities. It defines "school-based services" as specially designed instruction and services that are educationally necessary for the eligible student to receive a free and appropriate public education. The bill prohibits the Oklahoma Health Care Authority from defining school-based services more broadly than specified or covering school-based health care that is not educationally necessary.
