(1) school corporation; or
(2) school corporation's employed, licensed, or qualified provider;
must enroll in a program to use federal funds under the Medicaid program (IC 12-15-1 et seq.) with the intent to share the costs of services that are reimbursable under the Medicaid program and that are provided to eligible children by the school corporation. However, a school corporation or a school corporation's employed, licensed, or qualified provider is not required to file any claims or participate in the program developed under this section.
(b) The secretary and the department of education may develop policies and adopt rules to administer the program developed under this section.
(c) The federal reimbursement for services provided under this section must be distributed to the school corporation. The state shall retain the nonfederal share of the reimbursement for Medicaid services provided under this section.
(d) The office of Medicaid policy and planning, with the approval of the budget agency and after consultation with the department of education, shall establish procedures for the timely distribution of federal reimbursement due to the school corporations. The distribution procedures may provide for offsetting reductions to distributions of state tuition support or other state funds to school corporations in the amount of the nonfederal reimbursements required to be retained by the state under subsection (c).
