School-Based Health
The Office of School-Based Health Finance (OSBHF) strives to improve the quality and scope of medical services provided in schools through Medicaid reimbursement claiming.
- OSBHF contracts with the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (state Medicaid) to provide school district liaison services, training, and quality assurance (QA).
- Contracts with school districts to conduct random moment sampling and training for the Medicaid school district administrative claiming program under which districts receive millions of dollars each year.
- OSBHF partners with the districts to file Medicaid special needs transportation claims.
- Through the ARMS mailing list, OSBHF keeps interested district staff abreast of the latest Medicaid and school health issues.
