Development of positive assets for youth, families, schools, and communities are essential.

Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA)
Federal funding reimburses school employees for the cost of administrative activities that promote access to health care for pre-K-12 students in public schools and coordinate student health care needs with Medi-Cal service providers.  Employees of BCOE and identified districts and schools in Butte County are trained and assisted in providing and reporting MAA activities performed during the typical work day as reported in four annual week-long time surveys.  Local Education Councils (LECs) in each CCSESA region support the system of training, review and reimbursement through the California Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Systems (CMS).

LEA Billing Option
The Local Education Agency Medi-Cal Billing (LEA Billing) Option program offers health assessment and treatment by school health professionals for eligible children and family members.  Claims for these services are billed to Medi-Cal for individuals who receive services and are eligible for Medi-Cal support.

Mobile Dental Van
Funding from the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board (MRMIB) for a Rural Health Demonstration Project Populations supports a mobile dental van provided by Dental Access.  The van offers visual dental screenings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and dental health education to pre-K-12 children and youth, coordinated by BCOE in forty project locations in isolated rural areas of six north state counties.  Identified locations have concentrations of migrant and/or Native American children who have limited access to dental care.
