DHHS to Offer MTS Transition Training

New Hampshire is preparing to transition the school-based Medicaid claiming program from an in‑kind model to a cost‑based methodology, effective July 1, 2026. To support this transition, NH Division of Medicaid has scheduled four tentative Medicaid to Schools training sessions, pending final CMS negotiations.


Please feel free to share these links with your LEA contacts for registration. It is important to clarify that only LEA staff should attend; billing vendors should not participate.



For questions or additional information, please contact Heather Clogston, Medicaid to Schools Project Manager.
