Mission Statement
In accordance with the Baltimore County Public Schools Blueprint for Progress Performance Goal 8, the Office of Third Party Billing is Dedicated to Strengthening and Expanding Special Education and Health Related Services for Students in Baltimore County Public Schools through the reimbursement of funds collected from Medicaid and other Third Party Payors.

Operations
Third Party Billing is a program that generates Federal Medicaid dollars for the Baltimore County Public Schools. A recovery cost for medically related services is sought "after the fact" for children who meet Medicaid guidelines. These Medicaid dollars are used to supplement health care services currently provided by the schools. Health related services that are reimbursable from Medicaid are identified in a student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP). These services include speech pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, audiology, social work, counseling and psychological services for screening, evaluation, and treatment services. Baltimore County Public Schools also submits claims to Medicaid for case management and transportation services provided to children ages 3 - 21.

The Office of Third Party Billing is responsible for the billing and receipt of Federal Medicaid dollars for services provided to students by Baltimore County Public Schools.
