An estimated 40% of school-age children have at least one chronic health condition.  \nAmong low-income children with special healthcare needs, approximately 87% do not receive necessary care, primarily due to financial costs and limited access. If not appropriately managed, these conditions can adversely affect school attendance, learning ability, motivation, academic performance and the chances of graduating from high school.  \nProviding healthcare at school, where children spend the majority of their days, is essential to addressing these concerns. School health services include physical, behavioral and mental healthcare that can be delivered by school health staff (e.g. , school nurses, social workers and speech-language pathologists) , as well as through school-based health centers (SBHCs) and partnerships with local health organizations.  \nDecades of research show that increased access to school health services has a positive impact on children’s well-being. Benefits include:  \n●  Improved health and academic outcomes for students with chronic health conditions  \n●  Improved health and academic outcomes for students with mental or behavioral health concerns  \n●  Improved attendance rates and reductions in chronic absenteeism for all students, including students experiencing mental health challenges  \n●  Decreased suspension rates  \n●  Gains in early literacy and reading skills  \n●  Improved quality of classroom instruction, as teachers face fewer disruptions and  \nbehavioral health challenges  \nHow Medicaid Supports School Health Services  \nMedicaid provides coverage to nearly 30 million children—approximately 40 percent of all children under age 18 in the United States. The program covers comprehensive and preventive physical, behavioral and mental health services and is a cost-effective and efficient provider of essential healthcare services for children.  \nMedicaid plays a critical role in funding school-based healthcare, supporting more than $7 .5 billion* in school health services. It serves as a significant source of revenue for schools, making Medicaid the fourth-largest federal funding stream for K-12 public schools.  \n*Based on Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services analysis of state expenditure reports for fiscal year 2023, [available at Medicaid.gov](available at Medicaid.gov).  \nHealthy Students, Promising Futures [healthystudentspromisingfutures.org](healthystudentspromisingfutures.org) 2  \nFour School Health Services Delivery Models  \nStudents can connect with school health services via different delivery models. All of the providers employed under each model play an important role in enhancing student health and well-being, and their collaboration is essential to addressing students’ needs.  \nSchool districts determine the types of health services and health professionals needed in schools, taking into account factors such as overall student makeup, district resources and capacity and workforce shortages. Some districts have one school nurse for all students, while other districts may have multiple school nurses or at least one nurse in every school building, for example.  \nSchool districts also determine how to deliver and pay for health services. The delivery model is distinguished by who employs the health provider. Options typically include: 1) school distr","cbCaib15b9EH7he6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib15b9EH7he6","pdf",766804,"English","# Importance of School Health Services\n# How Medicaid Supports School Health Services\n# Four School Health Services Delivery Models\n## School district, community partners, and school-based centers\n## Telehealth vendor model\n# Medicaid: A Sustainable Funding Source\n# Building a Holistic School Health Ecosystem","[{\"question\":\"Why are school health services considered essential for students?\",\"answer\":\"Because many children have physical or mental health concerns that can affect classroom success, and many low-income children do not receive needed care.
