Medicaid Program Background & Description On July 1, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed Public Law PL 100-360, the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act. This law permits local education agencies to recover costs from public health insurance for services identified in a child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP). These services include speech pathology, audiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, social work, and psychological services for screening, evaluation and treatment services. Additionally, local education agencies are allowed to submit claims for IEP coordination services (case management) as well as specialized transportation services for Medicaid eligible special education students. The Federal Government and the United States Congress have encouraged school systems to use all available federal funding, including Medical Assistance to finance special education and health related services. As a result, in 1994, Prince George's County Public Schools system began a system wide effort to recover costs for health related services, and IEP coordination services for Medicaid eligible students. Currently, there are over 4,600 Medicaid eligible special education students in Prince George's County Public School system. These students constitute 31% of the Special Education population and 3.7% of all students attending Prince George County Public Schools. Medicaid reimbursement funds support and expand existing programs and provide funding for staff, specialized supplies and equipment that enhance the learning experience for all special education students.
MBO Program Mission The mission of the Medicaid Billing Office is to recover funds for health related and IEP coordination services provided to Medicaid eligible special education students in order to expand and enhance the services offered to all PGCPS special education students.
MBO Program Goals Our goal is for the Medicaid Billing Office to operate with integrity, excellence and
professionalism and to provide quality service that is effective, efficient accountable to all stakeholders;
To increase and maximize efforts to recover Medicaid revenue in order to enhance services provided to PGCPS Special Education Department
To improve efforts in order to meet regulatory compliance in accessing Medicaid reimbursement funds;
To increase children and youth’s access to comprehensive health services through the PGCPS school-based Medicaid reimbursement program;
To increase collaboration among schools, families, and state agencies, where each partner has a defined role and demonstrates commitment and accountability to the Special Education students of PGCPS;

To develop and implement a long-range plan for helping to ensure sustainability of a comprehensive Medicaid reimbursement program
Overview of Medicaid Billing Eligibility Requirements In order for PGCPS system to receive Medicaid reimbursement, the services billed must:
Be provided to a Medicaid eligible student under the age of 21 Be provided to a student with an active IEP/IFSP, Be provided by a qualified practitioner (possess proper licensure/certification) Address a student’s physical, mental or emotional disability Be consistent with the intent of the IEP/IFSP identified services and planned goals Have documentation that supports that the services billed relate directly to the
IEP/IFSP Parental consent for PGCPS to release information in order to bill Medicaid for health related and IEP coordination services must be obtained prior to billing.
Overview of Health Related Medicaid Billing Requirements The following are health related services that PGCPS currently provides to some special education students: PGCPS health related service providers must document each contact per month as prescribed in the student’s IEP. The following types of services are billable; face-to-face direct service, one-on-one direct screenings, evaluations, and treatments.
Billing Process for Health Related Service Providers On a monthly basis, the Medicaid Billing Office generates color-coded, pre-printed Monthly Service Record Billing Forms.

Health-related providers:
Complete the Health Related Services Monthly Service Record billing forms on time. All forms should be forwarded to the Medicaid Billing Office by the 5th of the following month. Health Related Service Providers should keep detailed documentation of each individual session or encounter on the Related Services Log in Maryland Online. Each note must include the goal, describe the nature or extent of services provided and include a statement about the student’s progress.
Ensure that your billing is consistent with the Service Description on the IEP.
In order to receive reimbursement for MA billable services, (Speech, OT, PT) the
IEP must contain either, a daily, weekly or monthly prescription of services. (See MSDE Technical Bulletin 21 August 2010) For Nursing Services the IEP must contain a daily prescription of services.
For the exceptions to the service description of daily, weekly and monthly, the therapist must provide the reason or explanation for the use of the frequencies quarterly and yearly in order for Medicaid to be able to bill for IEP Service Coordination. For quarterly and yearly frequencies, Medicaid may not bill for the related service, but may bill for the IEP Service Coordination if the IEP has an appropriate explanation.
Medicaid regulations stipulate that health-related services must contain face-to-face contact with the student.
Monitor the session number on the Monthly Service Record (e.g., Session 1 of 10)
in order to prevent over billing for prescribed services.
Copies of all supporting documentation (MD Online IEP Related Service logs, treatment flow sheets (Nursing), copies of evaluations) should be stapled to all billing forms prior to submission to the Medicaid Billing Office.
When submitting billing for multiple months, supporting documentation will need
to accompany each Monthly Service Record. For example, do not send one service log for 3 months of billing.
Documentation Requirements Acceptable documentation describes a specific service that relates directly to the IEP. The provider must detail the intent of the encounter and a description of the specific skills being addressed.
Related service logs should state the goal; describe the service rendered and
the student’s response to the service or treatment (progress).

VERY IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER Services must be delivered in accordance with the IEP/IFSP and must be related
to an identified health problem. Please do not bill in excess of the service description indicated on the IEP.
MSDE requires that the frequency of service on the IEP must be detailed as daily, weekly or monthly. Yearly and quarterly frequencies are no longer billable for Medicaid billing purposes. If “yearly” and “quarterly” are the best description for the frequency of the service, make sure to enter a professional explanation for the specialized frequency of service so that Medicaid can bill for IEP Service Coordination. Contact the Medicaid office if you have questions about this.

the MD Online Related Services Logs. Please remember that the Medicaid Monthly Service Record form is an official
document. Your signature is attesting to the accuracy of the information that you provided. Therefore, you should carefully review the form to make sure the student was not absent on the date of service listed on the form.
Submit one MD Online Service Log for each billing month. Staple MD Online Service Logs to the Health Related Service Form. Attach copies of evaluations when billing for Evaluations and Re-Evaluations.

MEMBERS OF THE IEP TEAM ON THE MONTHLY SERVICE RECORD FORM. PLEASE BE TIMELY WITH YOUR SUBMISSION OF FORMS. FORMS ARE DUE THE 5th OF
THE FOLLOWING MONTH. Please indicate if the session was a make-up session by denoting M/U on the
service log. You must also identify the date of the missed session in the Description of Service on the Related Service log.
Related service logs should state the goal; describe the service rendered and the student’s response to the service or treatment (progress).
If the student no longer receives Speech/Language services, please check the “Service is no longer prescribed on the IEP” box on the Monthly Service Record form and return it to the Medicaid Billing Office.
If the student did not receive services in the billing month, please check the “No billable services provided this month” box and return it to the Medicaid Billing Office.
When submitting billing for multiple months, supporting documentation will need to accompany each Monthly Service Record. For example, do not send one Related Service Log for 3 months of billing.
