Medicaid in Education
Since 1988, states have been able to leverage federal Medicaid funds to help offset costs for school-based health related services required by the IDEA, when provided to Medicaid-eligible students. School Medicaid can be leveraged for covered health related services that are considered early intervention (EI), early childhood special education (ECSE), and special education services provided to Medicaid-eligible children who are also eligible under the IDEA. EI covers birth to age three, ECSE covers ages three to five, and special education covers ages five through twenty-one.
