Medical Services — Most medical, dental, psychological, and therapeutic services are covered under Medicaid or state funds. The child’s Case Manager should provide a list of Medicaid providers that can provide these services to the child. 

Unusual Medical/Dental Expenses — When children are ineligible for Medicaid or receive medical services not covered by Medicaid, the state must bear the full expense. Unusual medical/dental covers the cost of such services and is used as a last resort. Always consult with the child’s Case Manager prior to obtaining a service when in doubt as to whether Medicaid covers it. 

Non-emergency Medical Transportation — Foster parents often drive their children to medical appointments. Depending upon the present availability of funds, you may be reimbursed for this. The Case Manager can clarify the current procedure in your county for NET reimbursement.
