A 1897 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to including the services and care of school psychologists under Medicaid

This bill expands Medicaid coverage to include services provided by school psychologists who are certified or authorized under New York's education law. It directly affects students in public schools, as it allows school psychologists to bill Medicaid for services that were previously not covered under the program. The key provision adds school psychologists to Medicaid's covered providers, specifying that this change does not alter their existing scope of practice defined by education law. The bill requires state agencies to implement necessary rule changes before its effective date, 180 days after enactment.
