The purpose of these rules is to describe the services provided by school districts and school administrative units that are reimbursable under NH medicaid for which federal financial participation (FFP) can be claimed and to describe the required qualifications of clinicians, licensed by a board under the office of professional licensure and certification for healthcare professionals, delivering reimbursable services in schools and preschools. Reimbursable services include both the NH medicaid state plan services, and other optional services that are not covered under the NH medicaid state plan, but covered pursuant to 1905(a) of the Social Security Act through the early and periodic screening, diagnostic, and treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Requesting FFP for medicaid services is optional for school districts and school administrative units. These service descriptions are established to allow students to receive medically necessary services within the least restrictive environment Participation in medicaid is discretionary on the part of school districts and school administrative units. These rules are not intended to impose upon school districts and school administrative units the responsibility to provide any services that they are not otherwise legally responsible to provide under RSA 186-C or other law.
