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 autism
waiver, speech pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy,
nursing, counseling, audiology, social work, counseling services,
and psychological services for screening, evaluation, and
treatment services. The Office of Third Party Billing is responsible
for billing and receipt of Federal Medicaid dollars for services
provided to students by Baltimore County Public Schools.
