Medicaid Resources
School Based Healthcare Center’s (SBHC) are a hub for Medicaid outreach and enrollment. Everyday SBHCs perform Medicaid “outreach”– reaching out the community to let them know that families can sign up for Medicaid at the SBHC, and “enrollment”– actually processing the PE/MOSAA applications and enrolling families.
These services are vital to families. This page is designed to help support your outreach and enrollment work.

New Mexico Human Services Department has provided guidance for SBHCs regarding the reimbursement regulations and periodicity recommendations for EPSDTs that will be helpful to all SBHCs.
