Title: Medicaid and Schools
Authors: Elicia J. Herz, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: Despite written federal guidance, schools have difficulty meeting the complex reimbursement rules under Medicaid. According to federal investigations and congressional hearings, Medicaid payments to schools have sometimes been improper. P.L. 110-173 included a moratorium on any administrative action restricting Medicaid coverage or payments for school-based administration and transportation services until June 30, 2008. P.L. 110-252 extends this moratorium until April 1, 2009.
