AB944,1,2
1An Act to amend 121.004 (6) of the statutes;
relating to: the effect of medicaid
2payments for school medical services on a school district's shared cost.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, if a school district provides health care services that are
appropriate to a school setting to children who are eligible for medical assistance, the
department of health and social services must reimburse the school district for 60%
of the federal share of allowable charges for the services and for allowable
administrative costs. The funds received reduce the school district's shared cost
(those costs that are aided through the state school aid formula) by an identical
amount. This bill eliminates the reduction in the school districts's shared cost.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
