How does reimbursement work?Every Medicaid check = state + federal

funds– At present: each Medicaid payment

includes 75% federal & 25% state dollars– State funds “draw down” additional federal

$– Medicaid-participating school corporations

recover a portion of their costs for providing Medicaid-covered health-related services to students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP)
