Medicaid School Health Services
Canon City School District RE-1 participates in the School Health Services Medicaid Program. The district receives partial reimbursement from Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) for the health and medical services provided in the school setting to students enrolled in Health First Colorado with an Individual Education Plan (IEP), Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), 504 Plan, other individualized health or behavioral health plan, or where medical necessity has been otherwise established.
Health services provided by the school at no cost to the family and reimbursed to the district do not affect your child’s lifetime Health First Colorado benefits.
Students can receive health services at school on the same day they receive services outside of school. Please read the CDE Parental Brochure for additional information. Links are in the column to the right.
