The District seeks to provide mental health services for scholars. The Superintendent will make every effort to determine if mental services provided to scholars are eligible for Medicaid reimbursement or other insurance plans.
If the District uses third party entities to bill insurance plans, it will ensure that scholars are not denied services based on their inability to pay and the District will not charge uninsured scholars.
The revenue generated from billing Medicaid or other insurance plans must be used for mental health services operations and programming.
When billing for scholar mental health services, the District will make every reasonable effort to maintain the confidentiality of scholar (patient) information and records. Scholar medical information shall be stored and secured in accordance with requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIP AA).
