For immediate release
Washington State Health Care Authority receives $2.5 million to boost school-based services
OLYMPIA - The Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA), in partnership with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), was awarded $2.5 million by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to improve and expand school-based services <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.hca.wa.gov%2Fbillers-providers-partners%2Fprogram-informatio
n-providers%2Fschool-based-services/1/01000190983beb27-be0d20ed-9032-4967-a3f7-c6fbe24279f3-000000/zXfjrvG0QCvvqCIke6fgPWMjLShimQ45h_FOEwsOR4A=361> . The funds will be used to improve
student attendance, increase academic performance, and support overall well-being for students.
The grant includes $500,000 for the first year and an additional $1 million for both the second and third years. Washington is one of 18 states to receive grant funds totaling $50 million
to boost school-based services.
“HCA is honored to have been selected to provide federal capacity-building resources in partnership with schools and OSPI,” said HCA director Sue Birch. “This initiative builds on years
of health transformation investments, addressing not only medical needs but also the growing social needs of our school-aged children in Washington. Through the dedicated efforts of
the Medicaid school-based team and our integrated Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, we will enhance the support schools can offer to students still recovering from the impacts
of COVID, the opioid and fentanyl crisis, violence, and the widespread challenges of anxiety and depression. We are excited to strengthen the resilience and expand the opportunities
for Washington’s students, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.”
Schools are unique locations to deliver needed health care services to children and youth, especially for those enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid) and the Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP). From preventive and behavioral health care to physical care, school-based services offer families and students convenient care from trusted partners where children learn
and grow. These services have a track record of advancing children’s health and improving educational outcomes.
HCA is planning community engagement activities for students and families, school districts, tribes, and other groups and partner agencies to improve and expand school-based services,
including improved student access to behavioral health services and supports.
CMS will partner with Washington to implement new requirements and opportunities described in the SBS guidance <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.medicaid.gov%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffi
