Explaining The Parent Medicaid Consent Form 14

Purpose 1)Obtain consent from parent / guardian to exchange data about their child to the Department of Community Health (DCH/Medicaid), if requested 2)Request reimbursement for services already delivered to child for OT, PT, Speech 15

The purpose statement in the form… The School System is providing health-related services to your child in accordance with his/her Individual Education Program (IEP) at no cost to you, the parent/guardian. Medicaid is required to help the School System cover the cost of some services provided to your child. The School System is required to share information in your child’s IEP with the Department of Community Health (DCH) and your child’s primary care physician or another physician who has had a face to face visit with your child prior to billing Medicaid for its share of the costs of the services. 16

Parent Choices The choices are ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Neither choice will impact service delivery as reimbursements are claimed on services already rendered No future impact on service delivery if ‘no’ Signature and date are required and signify the choices made 17

The choice statement in the form…. 18 I understand that denial of my consent will not affect delivery of services under my child’s IEP. I further understand that the school district may receive partial reimbursement from Federal Medicaid funds for these services and that this reimbursement will not affect my child’s Medicaid insurance benefits. YES I give my consent for the Paulding County School District to bill Medicaid/Peach Care and for the School System to share information in my child’s IEP with DCH with my child’s primary care physician or another physician who has seen my child face to face. NO I do not give my consent for the Paulding County School District to bill Medicaid/Peach Care and for the School System to share information in my child’s IEP with DCH with my child’s primary care physician or another physician who has seen my child face to face.

Signature statements in the form… Parent/Guardian Name (PLEASE PRINT) Parent/Guardian Signature:Date It is my responsibility as a parent/guardian to notify the Special Education Department in writing if I ever decide to withdraw my permission. I understand that if I do not give permission or if I withdraw by permission, the School System will continue to provide IEP related services to my child at no cost to me. 19

Q/A What are the responsibilities? For FY15, Speech Pathologists are required to manage the Medicaid document process if the student receives any combination of services that include speech. Examples: SLD student receiving Speech and OT. Speech only student. Speech student with PT services. SLD student with Speech, OT and PT services. Files with OT and or OT/PT will be the responsibility of the OT/COTA for management of the Medicaid document process. Files with PT only will be the responsibility of the PT for management of the Medicaid document process. Once the Medicaid Parent Consent and Letter of Medical Necessity packet is received by the District, the District office will take up responsibility for getting the document to the doctor and back. 31

Q/A I’m not responsible for anything that happened with a prior case manager nor in a prior year, correct? As an employee of the district, it is our responsibility to make sure that procedures are followed whether we were the case manager, therapist/provider or not. 32

Q/A What happens if the letter of medical necessity gets lost from case manager to the BOE? Routinely we will ask for another letter of medical necessity to be signed if it is missing. An or phone call will be placed if that happens. 33

Q/A The parent waived the Parent Medicaid Authorization form explanation….what do I do? The parent can waive their right to the explanation if they so choose. 34

Q/A The parent said they are not on Medicaid. I don’t need to do anything else, correct? Please note it is not necessary to be on public Medicaid, Peach Care, etc. in order to see if a student qualifies for school based service reimbursement. The CISS eligibility can be an ever changing process. Therefore, there is no question of whether they are currently ‘on Medicaid’ or not. It is a question of whether or not they will allow the district to: A) see if the student qualifies/is eligible and B) request reimbursements if they agreed to ‘A’. 35

Q/A I do not feel comfortable explaining Medicaid forms to the parent. I should leave it to the Principal, Lead, District office to explain it. No, as a Case Manager, Service Provider, Therapist and Administrative Outreach person, you should familiarize yourself with all training and materials available such that you can explain the Parent Medicaid Consent to the parent. You are the person that the parent should rely upon for information. Seek out information to help you do that such as training materials, asking questions, etc. 36
