MN SF991

Requires school districts to provide initial written notice to parents of children on medical assistance or MinnesotaCare before seeking reimbursement, including rights to request records, withdraw consent, and information that revoking consent does not affect eligibility.

Mandates annual written notice to parents about the district's intent to seek reimbursement from medical assistance or MinnesotaCare, with the same disclosure rights included in federal procedural safeguards notices.

Modifies informed consent requirements for billing private health insurance to reference federal regulations (34 CFR parts 99 and 300) and requires notification that billing may affect service limits and prior authorization thresholds.

Allows reimbursements to be used for district administrative costs, training to improve third-party billing access, or reallocation of funds to benefit students with individualized education programs or individual family service plans.

Directs the commissioner of human services to document school district efforts to secure third-party reimbursement and request a federal waiver to allow medical assistance billing without first requiring private health plan payment when a child has both coverages.
