Kentucky Department of Education

Under the Medicaid School Based Health Services (SBHS) program, local education agencies in Kentucky, including KSB and KSD, are eligible to enroll as a Medicaid health services provider for children who eligible under the Medicaid program and under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This information is for districts participating, or wishing to participate, in the Medicaid SBHS.

The Medicaid SBHS program is designed specifically to allow school districts to act as heath care providers and be reimbursed under Medicaid. School districts may be reimbursed approximately 70 percent of the state and local funds they spend on some related services in the individualized education programs (IEP) of children with disabilities who are eligible under both IDEA and Medicaid.
