Medicaid reimbursement for school nursing services: a position paper of the National Association of State School Nurse Consultants.
The National Association of State School Nurse Consultants (NASSNC) believes that school nursing services should be provided to all students and that Medicaid funds should be incorporated as a funding source for school nursing services provided to eligible children. The list of nursing services and procedures in this document, therefore, should be reimbursable by Medicaid to school districts. These services are outlined in categories of 1) case finding, 2) nursing care procedures, 3) care coordination, 4) patient/student counseling/instruction, and 5) emergency care. We adhere to this philosophy and promote incorporation of these services as Medicaid reimbursable services provided by qualified professional school nurses.
