Medicaid Billing

Q. Can a school district bill Medicaid for an IEP meeting if ANYONE attending the meeting is paid with IDEA monies?

A. No. If anyone is paid with IDEA monies and they participated in the development of the IEP, then the IEP meeting is not Medicaid reimbursable. The development of the IEP includes the meetings to determine what evaluations and reports should be completed and/or reviewed.

Q. Can I submit for High Cost (STAC) reimbursement AND bill Medicaid monthly for the same services?

A. Yes. This is not considered "double-dipping" since High Cost aid is reimbursed from State monies and Medicaid services are reimbursed from Federal monies.
