Can the Autism Specialist bill for services for children who are at school?
Autism Waiver services do not duplicate other Medicaid State Plan services or other services otherwise available to the child at no cost. Public schools access Medicaid dollars and therefore Autism Waiver services cannot be billed for services at a public school. Preschool programs might be billable. Collaboration is recommended between school and home even though it isn’t billable time.
