With respect to the Medicaid
With respect to the Medicaid rule on providers of preventive services, if a state chooses to reimburse for other qualified providers, it is up to the state to define the credentialing requirements and qualifications necessary.

Do you have Respiratory
Do you have Respiratory Therapists involved in this program? Do you partner with the schools to increase awareness of the program? Looking to see if the schools can get reimbursed for the asthma prevention like we do for other medication administration/treatments through our state's Eshars.
