Our school district continues to participate in a system whereby the Federal Government’s Medicaid program reimburses local school districts for a portion of the costs of health related services provided to Medicaid eligible children. Your child continues to receive services at no cost to you under this system. This initiative simply helps us optimize federal funds in support of local education, as well as offset some of the costs of these services, including special education, paid for by the local taxes. The information you voluntarily allow to be released by completing this consent form will only be used for the purposes identified. Our district has contracted the services of New Hampshire Medicaid to Schools to confidentially administrate our Medicaid Program.
With your permission, the school district will be able to seek partial reimbursement for services, including, among others, a hearing test or eye exam; a school physical; occupational or speech or physical therapy; some school nurse visits; and counseling services with the school social worker or psychologist.
Please fill in the information below, sign the form, and return it to your child’s school.
