State Children’s Health Insurance Program

Phase 1 Effective Date: April 1, 1998

Revised: 1/26/98, 2/19/98, 3/3/98, 3/6/98 Phase 2 Effective Date: July 1, 1998

Revised: 8/20/98, 8/24/98, 10/1/99, 7/28/00, 1/31/01, 7/02/02, 7/22/02, 1/3/03, 2/13/04, 9/27/04, 11/15/04, 8/11/05, 10/1/06, 7/1/09, 7/1/10, 7/1/11, 7/1/12 119 School Health Services Initiative. Out of the $17 million appropriated, $11.8 million was Title XX funding. This was an increase of $ 4.3 million. For SFY 2012/2013, the Florida Legislature appropriated a total of $16.5 million for the School Health Services Initiative. Out of the $16.5 million appropriated, $11.6 million was Title XXI funding. PIC services will be paid for within the existing Title XXI CMSN per member per month budget. These additional services will be budget neutral due to an expected decrease in in-patient hospital services and emergency room services the children receiving PIC services will incur. The emphasis of PIC services is twofold. First, PIC services will be able to provide care in the home, decreasing the amount of care provided by inpatient facilities. Secondly, PIC will provide enhanced psychosocial interventions that will better prepare families to handle crises that arise and more comfortably deal with the child staying at home, thus decreasing hospital admissions. It is further anticipated that the frequency of emergency room visits will decrease.
