Medicaid Services

Who We Are

Public schools can receive reimbursement for medically necessary services provided to Medicaid eligible students.  School personnel ensure that a student's plan of care is being implemented, and it could include a variety of services that address physical, mental and emotional health.  All Medicaid claims for public schools in Muskegon County are submitted through the Muskegon Area ISD. 

Schools are required to obtain consent from parents whose children receive school based services and are eligible for Medicaid before submitting any school based service claims. Medicaid School Based Services Information and Answers for Families includes more information.

Our Goal

We aim to grow understanding of how to effectively take advantage of the Medicaid reimbursement offered by properly logging claims and obtaining all supporting documentation required.  When school districts optimize the use of financial resources by submitting claims when possible, the Medicaid reimbursement helps ensure services are available to students who need them.
