An elementary school-based health clinic: can it reduce medicaid costs?
The results strongly suggest that the operation of a SBHC can have effects on the child's use of services and health care expenses. Given that these clinics serve all those who come for care and many of these are low-income children, these savings are likely to accrue to the Medicaid program of the state. As states continue to implement Medicaid-managed care for their child populations, they will need to consider the ability of SBHCs to participate in and receive Medicaid revenues through health maintenance organization networks.
