Medicaid Self-billers for Our Schools (SOS)
Medicaid Self-billers for Our Schools (SOS) is a work group of Local Education Agencies (LEAs) that through networking with one another, offer support among its members to help maximize efficiency, accuracy and compliance in all aspects of Medicaid billing.
The SOS work group focuses on providing assistance to school districts who process their claims in house as well as to those interested in understanding the Medicaid billing process. SOS works closely with staff from the Department of Education, Department of Human Services and its Fiscal Agent Electronic Data Systems. The work group membership is open to LEA staff only.

The LEAnet
A coalition of Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and related partners has
formed called the LEAnet. The LEAnet was created to protect school health services from current and
pending cuts in Federal Medicaid programs. It is an informal organization intended
to support current LEA initiatives and offer resources for new ones. For more
information, visit the LEAnet
web site.
The LEAnet website also maintains a one-stop resource page
with links to documents, publications and Supreme Court cases affecting school
health. Visit the LEAnet resources page.
The LEAnet is sponsoring a petition in
opposition to the proposed cuts in the President’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget that
would eliminate transportation and administrative claiming for LEAs across the
country. If you are interested, please sign the
online petition.
The petition will be forwarded to Secretary Leavitt and to appropriate Members
of Congress shortly after the election.
