The State of Alaska Department of Health received a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the State Grants for the Implementation, Enhancement, and Expansion of Medicaid and CHIP School-Based Services program (CFDA 93.771). This 3-year award, running from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027, will support the state's efforts to expand the delivery of Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) healthcare services within Alaska's school settings. Key objectives include increasing student enrollment, providing covered medical and behavioral health services, and connecting students to necessary healthcare resources. The award is part of a broader $50 million CMS initiative funded by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to help states develop comprehensive approaches for delivering healthcare in schools.
