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.
