School-based Medicaid

School-Based Medicaid Services

Many schools across Louisiana offer health services that are eligible for reimbursement under Medicaid, a state-federal program that provides health insurance to low income families. Health services eligible for Medicaid reimbursement include: nursing services, therapy services (speech therapy, OT and PT), behavioral health services (including ABA therapy), special transportation and personal care services.

The Louisiana Department of Education has developed the Louisiana School Based Medicaid Program (SBMP) Resource Library to help LEAs implement a health services program that is eligible for funding through Medicaid. The SBMP Resource Library was launched in September of 2021, and new guidance documents will continue to be added through February of 2022 and then updated as needed thereafter.  Whenever a document is updated, a revision sheet will be added to the end of the document explaining any changes and the date they were made. Check back for future updates.
