MAA Time Survey Annual Training School Year 2013-14 Presented by: Susan Ellyson Madera County Office of Education Local Education Consortium Medi-Cal Administrative Activities Central Valley Services Region VII
What is MAA & how do I participated? • MAA stands for “Medi-Cal Administrative Activities.” • Schools promote access to health care for students, preventing costly or long-term health care problems for at-risk students, and coordinating students’ health care needs with other providers. • The program allows school claiming units to be reimbursed for some of their administrative costs associated with school-based health and outreach activities that are not claimable under the LEA Medi-Cal Billing Option or under other Medi-Cal. • In general, the cost of school-based health and outreach activities reimbursed under MAA consists of: referring students/families for Medi-Cal eligibility determinations, providing health care information and referral, coordinating and monitoring health services, and coordinating services between agencies. • How to participate? It is necessary to determine the amount of time school staff spend performing MAA. Time spent by school staff on MAA is identified using a time survey. The results of the time survey is then used in a series of calculations to determine the percentage of school costs that can be claimed under MAA. MAA reimbursement to school claiming units is made from federal Medicaid funds.
