Many of you were concerned about the temporary rule proposed in December 2007 that would have prohibited school districts from seeking reimbursement from Medicaid for various services to school children. For you I have some good news.
The federal Department of Health and Human Services published a regulation in the Federal Register today that would permanently rescind the policy. You can view the proposed new regulation at this link.
