WASN and the Department of Public Instruction are committed to providing guidance to school nurses surrounding the expansion of School-Based Services (SBS) to all Medicaid enrolled students. These slides provide details regarding documenting medical necessity, how to apply for a National Provider Identifier number (NPI), how to register with Department of Health Services- Division of Medicaid (DHS/DMS) as a provider of services, and how to refer SBS including both Nursing Services and Attendant Care Services that are within the registered nurse’s scope of practice. ForwardHealth is the title of BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid services administrated by DHS/DMS. See ForwardHealth SBS guidelines here.

School nursing, a specialized practice of nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates optimal development, and advances academic success. School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders who bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potential. Adopted by the NASN Board of Directors February 2017.
