Beginning with 1993-94 school year, Medicaid approved regulations
for the billing of case management services. Baltimore County
was the first jurisdiction in the state to submit case management
claims to Medicaid. Case management data is submitted by special
education teachers or speech/language pathologists who coordinate
special education services for students. A portion of the
case management funds are returned to each school participating
in the program, based upon the number of case management encounter
data forms submitted for case management. Schools have utilized
the additional funds for the following staff positions, supplies
and materials.
