SMART Medicaid Services
TASB's SMART program has helped school districts bill Medicaid for services eligible under the School Health and Related Services (SHARS) program since 1993. The SHARS program has been a significant funding source for many districts.
Why SMART?
|
The strong relationships and credibility TASB has with the Texas Education Agency, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and National Health Information Center are a result of our commitment to provide timely and accurate information to school districts. We are familiar with the audit process and expectations and therefore are better equipped to assist districts with audit preparation—especially important at a time when the federal government is requiring state agencies to conduct site visits and desk reviews.
The SMART program provides hotline support for technical and policy concerns, periodic bulletins, and an annual members’ meeting that features training and networking opportunities.
Covered services include the following:
- Assessments
- Speech therapy
- Physical therapy
- Audiology
- Psychological services
- Counseling
- Medical services
- School health services
- Special transportation
- Occupational therapy
