Medicaid, Plan of Care & Documentation
For School-based Practitioners
This continuing education webinar covers the area of school-based practice that is often not well understood. Laurie will discuss legislation, federal Medicaid guidance, audit findings and case law to explore how the two ‘worlds’ of school-based practice and Medicaid can best work together. While specifics can vary from state to state, there are some foundational characteristics that can help therapists develop plan of cares (POCs) and session notes which are both educationally relevant and Medicaid compliant.
