Local Educational Agency Medi-Cal Billing Option

The Local Educational Agency (LEA) Medi-Cal Billing Option Program reimburses LEAs (school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, community college districts, California State Universities and University of California campuses) the federal share of the maximum allowable rate for approved health-related services provided by qualified health service practitioners to Medi-Cal eligible students.

The LEA Program Overview outlines the program’s goals and services, and LEAs new to the program will find valuable information on how to get started in the Onboarding Handbook. For a detailed description of program requirements and program policy, please refer to the LEA Provider Manual.
