LOS ANGELES, November 10, 2010 — Accelify, LLC is pleased to announce a partnership with Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD) to provide technology solutions and services to manage the district’s Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) and Local Education Agency (LEA) Medi-Cal Billing Option programs.
“In these difficult financial times for public education in California, our district is very excited to begin working with Accelify,” said Steven Fuentes, Associate Superintendent of Business Services, Jefferson Union High School District. “Accelify will allow us to implement a program that will bring in much needed revenue while providing services to our district we would otherwise not have staff to accomplish.”
JUHSD serves approximately 5,000 students across five high schools and one continuation school. The district unites the communities of Brisbane, Pacifica, Colma, and Daly City, whic h are located just south of San Francisco in San Mateo County. In 2009 Oceana and Westmoor High Schools were each honored with the California Distinguished School Award, a recognition of schools that demonstrate significant gains in narrowing achievement gaps. Oceana High School also won the J. Russell Kent Award, which is designed to recognize and publicize outstanding programs in San Mateo County public schools.
“We are excited about the potential to increase Medi-Cal reimbursements for Jefferson Union High School District” said Alex Brecher, COO, Accelify. “We are pleased to be chosen for this responsibility, and we are confident that the district will be happy with the results.”
Accelify has over 20 years of experience with school-based Medicaid. With a dedicated team of professionals and world-class technology solutions, the company has experienced great success in increasing Medi-Cal reimbursement revenue for its clients. In California Accelify has solidified its presence by establishing a California Board of Advisors. Board members are prominent leaders in education and public service who guide Accelify through the complex issues related to Medi-Cal. The three most recently named board members are Aleita J. Huguenin, Western States Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee; Sandy Gilbert, Ed.D, former program specialist in special education for the Desert Sands Unified School District; and Stephen Blake, former executive director of the Governor’s Committee on Education Excellence.
