Administrative Claiming

About the School-Based ACCESS Program Administrative Claiming Component
The school-Based ACCESS Program began in 1992 and currently services over 500 school-districts, intermediate units, approved private schools, charter schools, and other local education agencies across the Commonwealth.

The Administrative Claiming program provides federal reimbursement for health-related outreach activities performed by LEAs for children up to 21 years of age who either have or are potentially "at risk" of disabilities. Eligible administrative functions are primarily to locate, identify (assess) and refer children "at risk" to assist families in accessing Medicaid services through education, or public awareness, and seeking appropriate providers to care for children. The primary benefit to children is to assist families in identifying and accessing Medicaid, Health Care and other federal programs.

This program began in Pennsylvania in 1994 and Leader is currently serving over 120 LEAs in the state. If you have questions related to this program or would like to participate, please contact Leader Services.
