A.

B. The Medicaid School-Based Administrative Claiming program (SBAC) allows school districts to be reimbursed for some of their costs associated with school-based health and outreach activities which are not claimable under the Medicaid School Health-Related Services "fee for service" program or under other Medicaid "fee for service" programs. In general, the types of school-based health and outreach activities funded under SBAC are the referral of students/families for Medicaid eligibility determinations, the provision of health care information and referral, coordination and monitoring of health services and interagency coordination. These activities include:
