Medicare / Medicaid rules update and SCHIP
On December 29, 2007, the President signed into law the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (P.L. No. 110-173). According to the Congressional Research Service Summary the law
[p]rohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services from taking any action before June 30, 2008, to impose any restrictions relating to Medicaid coverage or payment for rehabilitation services or school-based administration and school-based transportation, if such restrictions are more restrictive in any aspect than those applied to such areas as of July 1, 2007.
So at least for the remainder of the 2007-08 school year, the current reimbursement process and funding remains in place.
