SBHS Medicaid-reimbursed services and treatments are provided in accordance with Oregon’s Prioritized List of Health Services to recipients receiving services pursuant to an IEP/IFSP eligible under IDEA in the educational setting. The above-listed therapy services and treatments are examples of services that may be provided to eligible recipients in an educational setting under Oregon’s Medicaid program. The current Prioritized List of services can be found on the Health Services Commission Web site.
Important! The SBHS rules define Oregon’s fee-for-service program to reimburse publicly funded education agencies for health services provided under the IDEA to Oregon’s Medicaid-eligible children. The SBHS rules are also a user’s manual designed to assist the Education Agency (EA) in matching state and federal funds for Oregon’s Medicaid-eligible students with disabilities. The SBHS rules are to be used in conjunction with:
- The General Rules governing the Division of Medical Assistance Programs (DMAP) (OAR 410 Division 120);
- The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) rules (OAR) 410 Division 141); and
- The Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) in Chapter 581, Division 15, for the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) outlining Oregon’s program to meet the federal provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Please go to the SBHS information page and review the above listed rules for additional information.
