Frequently Asked Questions

Nurses

• What services could the nurse bill for? The nurse should submit only related services data. The nurse can not be a case manager.
• What happened to nursing services? I thought we could bill for medication administration? Due to a change in medical assistance regulations, medication administration is no longer a billable service. This change occurred July 1, 1997.
• As a nurse, when would I be able to submit encounter data for related services? As a nurse, you can only bill for services that are outlined for nurse's services in the student's IEP. Please keep in mind that you must also have a nursing care plan in effect, as well as an order from the physician prior to billing.
