  In 1997, the Colorado Legislature enacted legislation authorizing school districts to receive and encumber federal Medicaid reimbursement.  SB 97-101 enables districts to support local school health and related services via federal Medicaid funds without requiring additional state or local expenditures.  Funding also is intended to increase access to preventive and primary care services for low-income, under-insured, and uninsured school-aged children.  
                 
  The district has joined the Colorado School Medicaid Consortium for purposes of technical assistance with claims and billing, software purchases specifically customized for Colorado school districts, ongoing staff training on service and billing procedures, and customized services relative to internal accounting systems, monthly eligibility statements, and tracking reports.  A series of meetings with individuals and groups, including parents and staff, Tri-County Dept. of Health, etc. led to formulation of the local service plan which has been approved by the board of education, the Medicaid Consortium, and the Colorado Department of Education.
