About School Based Claiming (SBC)
Federal financial participation (FFP) is available through Title XIX and Title XXI of the Social Security Act to match expenditures by cities and towns, regional school districts and charter schools (collectively, Local Education Agencies (LEAs)) for the provision of medically necessary medical services provided to Medicaid-enrolled students. Also eligible for FFP are the LEA costs associated with performing Medicaid administrative activities related to the delivery of services and with performing qualifying outreach activities. Collectively, this program is referred to as the School-Based Medicaid Program.
The SBC unit at HCFS works closely with Massachusetts and other states to develop, implement, and manage various activities that support direct service or administrative activity claiming to the Medicaid program. To that end, SBC develops, maintains, and supports solutions for states to compile, report and review eligible expenditures for Medicaid Administrative Claiming, Direct Service Cost Report Reconciliation and Settlement, Medicaid Eligibility Matching, Random Moment Time Studies or other equivalent allocation methods to support the identification of Medicaid related costs. With a deep knowledge of federal Medicaid regulations, SBC optimizes claiming opportunities, while ensuring compliance with all applicable state and federal rules. Today, SBC supports over 50,000 users in 9 states.
