Veterans Day Programming On WFPL Sunday, Nov 10 2019 

Monday is Veterans Day, honoring those who have served in the military. It’s also Armistice Day, marking the official end of World War I and WFPL will air two special programs to commemorate the holiday.

On Sunday, November 10 at 9 p.m., we’ll air Shell Shock 1919: How the Great War Changed Culture. It’s a documentary about World War I from WNYC:

World War I presented civilization with unprecedented violence and destruction. The shock of the first modern, “industrial” war extended far into the 20th century and even into the 21st, and changed how people saw the world and themselves. And that was reflected in the cultural responses to the war – which included a burgeoning obsession with beauty and body image, the birth of jazz, new thinking about the human psyche, the Harlem Renaissance, Surrealism…and more.

WNYC’s Sara Fishko and guests sift through the lingering effects of the Great War on modern art and life in Shell Shock 1919: How the Great War Changed Culture.

Guests include Jon Batiste, Ann Temkin, David Lubin, Philipp Blom, Jay Winter, Ana Carden-Coyne, Sabine Rewald, David Levering Lewis, Emma Chambers, Marion von Osten, Emily Bernard, and Gail Stavitsky.

Then, on Monday, November 11 at 8 p.m., we’ll air a rebroadcast of State of the Re:Union all about veterans:

“The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are sending our veterans home with wounds and obstacles not always clearly visible to the rest of the country. These two current wars also illuminate how veterans of previous eras are still trying to come home years after returning from war. In this episode, State of the Re:Union explores how veterans are serving each other after they come back home from serving the country.”

You can listen at 89.3 FM, or stream us online here. Thanks and appreciation to all the veterans, active-duty military members and military families in our community.

 

Kentucky Schools Can Now Bill Medicaid For Some Student Health Services Sunday, Nov 10 2019 

Kentucky public schools can now start billing Medicaid — the state’s insurance program for children who live in low-income households — for certain student health screenings and services. Many schools are already providing these health care services for students, but don’t get paid to do so; the new program could be a significant windfall for public schools, especially those that serve lower income families.

Eva Stone, manager for district health services at Jefferson County Public Schools, said the change approved last week by the federal government is a very big deal. She said at least 65 percent of JCPS students either have or qualify for Medicaid coverage.

“What we do want to be able to do is bridge the gap; we have a lot of students that don’t have regular access to health care,” Stone said. “This really has the potential to help Kentucky really start addressing all the negative health outcomes that we see year after year after year in the state.”

Schools in Kentucky have long been able to bill Medicaid when a student has a disability and a specialized care plan. But the change opens up the ability to get paid by Medicaid for any child who has the insurance coverage.

The new program will cover care including physical and behavioral health screenings, immunizations, dental care, speech therapy support, and mental health counseling. Stone said the changes may mean schools will begin to provide some required health screenings and vaccinations for students, and get reimbursed through Medicaid.

Under Kentucky’s new school safety law, schools are encouraged to employ a counselor for every 250 students by July 2021. But the law didn’t have money attached to hire those professionals; unless that changes with legislative appropriations, schools will be responsible for paying any mental health workers on their own. Stone said the ability to bill Medicaid for sessions with a counselor will be a big help.

“We can expand mental health services and bill for mental health services provided in schools,” Stone said. “It’s something that will add some revenue back into the district for expenditures we already have.”

Schools will also be able to bill for services going back to the start of the school year, Aug. 1.

“Approval of this amendment is a game-changer,” said Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Adam Meier in a statement. “This will provide additional resources to support increased access to mental health services for students using money already being spent by school districts.”
