Georgia IEP and School Medicaid Billing
School-Based Health and Medicaid Covered Services
We work closely with the Department of Education to provide services in school that are essential for children with disabilities and those requiring behavioral health support. This includes ensuring that all eligible services are billed correctly and reimbursed through Medicaid funds. Our goal is to streamline the process for schools and maximize health coverage for students.
Maximizing Medicaid Funds and Reimbursement
Our services help Georgia schools navigate the complex landscape of Medicaid reimbursement. By managing the billing process for Medicaid-covered and Medicaid reimbursable services, we ensure that your school receives appropriate compensation for the health services provided. This includes coordinating with the federal government to meet all requirements and optimizing the use of federal funds for children’s health.
Supporting Schools and States
Whether you are a district within Georgia or an educational institution navigating similar regulations, we are here to support you in maximizing your Medicaid billing capabilities. Our expertise helps schools manage and streamline their Medicaid processes, ensuring compliance with both state and federal guidelines, and ultimately enhancing the quality of health services available to students in the school setting.
Let us assist you in navigating the complexities of Medicaid billing and ensure that your school-based health services are effectively supported and reimbursed.
