(Medical Assistance Reimbursement for School-Based Services:
Statewide Contract Rate Schedule for School District Reimbursement)
The State of Wisconsin reimburses providers for school-based services provided to Medical Assistance recipients under the authority of Title XIX of the Social Security Act and ss. 49.43 to 49.47, Wisconsin Statutes. This program, administered by the State's Department of Health and Family Services, is called Medical Assistance (MA) or Medicaid. Federal statutes and regulations require that a state plan be developed that provides the methods and standards for reimbursement of covered services. A plan that describes the reimbursement system for the services (methods and standards for reimbursement) is now in effect.
The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services is proposing to modify the state plan provisions describing methods for calculating reimbursement for school districts for school-based services. This amendment removes the section of the state plan allowing school districts to create their own rates for reimbursement. No school district has selected that option. All school districts are now reimbursed under the statewide contract rate schedule, and will continue to be reimbursed under that rate schedule.
The Department's proposal involves no change in the amount of funds available to school districts or the amount of funds they are likely to receive. The benefits offered under the school based services will remain the same.
The Department is changing its methods and standards in this manner because no school district has selected the method of reimbursing a school district under a prospective district-specific cost-based rate schedule. As a result, the budget impact is zero dollars on both federal and state general purpose revenue monies.
Proposed Change
The proposed change is to eliminate the option for a school district to elect to be reimbursed under a prospective district-specific cost-based rate schedule.
