INTERSECTION BETWEEN SPECIAL EDUCATION MANDATES AND MEDICAID IDEA requires Special education and related services should be designed to meet the unique learning needs of eligible children with disabilities, preschool through age 21. Students with disabilities should be prepared for further education, employment and independent living. Federal Medicaid provides coverage for psychological services when part of an evaluation or identified as a related service in a child s IEP While all school psychologist are trained and qualified to provide these services, not all states qualify school psychologists as Medicaid providers. Based on state credentialing and Medicaid plan 4
5 MEDICAID AND SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS School psychologists provide Psychological Evaluations Psychological Counseling Consultation Case management These services are provided to all students. Medicaid Coverage of School Psychological services Psychological Evaluations Psychological Counseling MEDICAID EXPANSION AND SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS The Affordable Care Act provides for the expansion of Medicaid services to millions of previously uncovered children. Children are a priority population for the provision of mental and behavioral health services Schools are identified as priority areas for the provision of services. School psychologists are identified as qualified health providers for these services 2009 NAME SURVEY OF STATES FY2009, LEA s in the 24 states that responded to the survey were reimbursed $443.7 million All states, but one, that responded to the survey reported that they bill for behavioral/mental health services. School psychological services represent significant revenue streams for LEA s 5
6 KEY MESSAGES Recognizing school psychologists as qualified eligible providers of Medicaid services is good for children and youth. Utilizing qualified school mental health providers currently employed by schools to provide behavioral and mental health services increases the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of services. School psychologists are uniquely qualified to provide behavioral and mental health services in schools. The credentialing requirements for school psychologists are rigorous and comparable to other eligible providers. WORKING TOGETHER... Promote the use of the definitions in Title V of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that include specific reference to school psychology and school psychologists, including those that are licensed or certified by the state. Promote the adoption of these definitions in federal regulations. Update the 1997 CMS Medicaid and School Health: A Technical Assistance Guide so that the above definitions are adopted and the regulatory standards clearly recognize the eligibility of certified school psychologists as qualified providers of Medicaid services in the schools. Promote the adoption of language in federal regulations that recognizes state eligibility as sufficient. For example, where states already recognize school psychologists holding the state credential as qualified providers, the federal language should not undo these state eligibility standards.
