Many schools across Louisiana offer health services that are eligible for reimbursement under Medicaid, a state-federal program that provides health insurance to low income families. Health services eligible for Medicaid reimbursement include: nursing services, therapy services (speech therapy, OT and PT), behavioral health services (including ABA therapy), special transportation and personal care services.
The Louisiana Department of Education has developed the Louisiana School Based Medicaid Program (SBMP) Resource Library to help LEAs implement a health services program that is eligible for funding through Medicaid.
