The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) is a government agency in Little Rock that provides guidance, leadership, and technical assistance to support schools in operating effective Medicaid programs. Through the Medicaid In the Schools (MITS) program, ADE serves as a liaison for Local Education Agencies (LEA) to maximize health resources and revenue, promoting the Whole Child Model and special education services.
ADE works to ensure that school districts can offer sustainable medically necessary supports for students, delivering a broad range of Medicaid reimbursable school-based services such as therapy, audiology, personal care, and school-based mental health services. Public school districts are encouraged to increase direct-service Medicaid billing to generate Medicaid Match on behalf of the LEA.
