Contract Development • Clearly define specific roles and responsibilities of each agency • Dependent upon local resources and policies • Provides understanding and gives direction • Meet with key agency personnel to assess needs and services that may be provided • Review, update and renegotiate annually

  3. Correct contract language – “school satellite clinic site” • “School-based health services “ are described in 907 KAR 1:175 & are the FEDERAL Medicaid Services, under the Disabilities Education Act, required by schools. • The services provided at satellite clinic sites are billed through Medicaid coverage under an MCO • Do not use the term “School Health Coordinator in the contract language. This is a mandated position by the state for school districts.

  4. Considerations • School districts responsible for writing own health policies and procedures • FERPA governs student education records, including health records • Key stakeholders – School Superintendent, School Health Coordinator, 504 & IEP Coordinator and Special Education Director/Coordinator • KDE is the lead agency of school health services working in conjunction with LHD’s to fulfill requirements

Training, delegation and supervision of unlicensed school personnel • April 23rd KY Board of Nursing will meet for final approval of the change in their nursing scope of practice to allow delegation of insulin to unlicensed school personnel in the school setting (Please clarify in the contract if your nurses will be allowed to delegate this or not delegate insulin administration, including carb counting) if this passes • Professional liability insurance for nurses provided by LHD

  9. FERPA-HIPAA Guidance Document • Joint Guidance on the Application of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) to Student Health Records (November 2008) http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/doc/ferpa-hipaa-guidance.pdf

  10. Individual Education Plan Guidance • ALL IEP services are to be billed through schools (provider type 21) • LHD role in IEP services to be specifically written: • Will the nurse provide or not provide these services • Sharing student IEP list/names • Add LHD school nurse as part of the IEP team- not always necessary depending on the service needed • If LHD provides IEP services for school, reimbursement mechanism for LHD
