Sec. 17b-28d. Amendment to state Medicaid plan to increase federal matching
funds for Medicaid services provided to children requiring special education. The
Commissioner of Social Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Education,
shall submit to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services an amendment to the
state Medicaid plan required by Title XIX of the Social Security Act to enhance federal
financial participation for Medicaid services provided to Medicaid enrolled children
requiring special education pursuant to an individualized education plan. The amendment shall propose (1) the establishment of either a simplified cost-based or fixed fee
method of determining state expenditures for eligible Medicaid services provided to
such children, and (2) the replacement of the annual activity cost reports for all school-based child health services provided to such children. Any fixed fee established by the
Department of Social Services shall be a per diem or monthly rate per child and shall
reflect reimbursable administrative expenses.
