Medicaid
Medicaid School-Based Claiming (MSBC) is a joint federal and state program that offers reimbursement for both the provision of covered medically necessary school-based services and for the costs of administrative activities, such as outreach activities to identify eligible students and enroll them in the program, that support the Medicaid school-based program. Schools may provide a wide range of health care and related services to their students, which may or may not be reimbursable under the Medicaid program. For more information, visit the Medicaid School-based Claiming page.

Surrogate Parents
Parents play an integral role in the special education process. When, for any number of reasons, a parent is not available to participate in this process, the IDEA has procedures in place to ensure a child’s rights are represented. These procedures involve the appointment of a “surrogate parent." For more information, visit the Surrogate Parents page.
