Medicaid and School-Based Health Services
Clackamas ESD provides two important Medicaid-related services to our partner districts: Medicaid administrative claiming and Medicaid administrative billing support.
Medicaid Fee for Service
Medicaid’s fee-for-service process allows districts to recover the costs of providing medically necessary support to eligible students. Clackamas ESD collaborates with school districts throughout the state and the Oregon Health Authority to identify and account for time spent on reimbursable activities, so that health and education funds are directed appropriately. We help staff use tools to collect the necessary data and submit claims/reports.
Medicaid Administrative Claiming
Clackamas ESD assists school districts throughout the state with the process of Medicaid administrative claiming, a three-times-a-year survey to collect federal dollars for connecting eligible students with community health supports. We use a “train the trainer” model to build district capacity to handle the surveys and serve as a liaison to the Oregon Health Authority to develop cost pools, process match payments and resolve questions.
