If your district uses Onward as its Medicaid billing vendor, your district may have SLP Toolkit set up to collect documentation for Medicaid billing. In this setup, you’ll enter all required details in Toolkit, and your district plan manager will generate the billing report to share with Onward.
👉 Important: Not all districts using Onward have this integration set up. Some districts still require providers to document directly in Onward's platform. Please confirm with your district Medicaid coordinator or plan manager to know which process applies to you.
If your district is using Toolkit for Onward billing, follow the documentation requirements below to make sure your sessions are eligible for Medicaid claims.
