Accelify to Provide Medi-Cal Claiming Services to Santee School District
August 11, 2010
Accelify, LLC is pleased to announce that it has been selected by Santee School District in California to manage the district’s Local Education Agency (LEA) Medi-Cal billing option and Medicaid Administrative Activities(MAA) claiming programs.
Districts in California and across the country are struggling with increasing budget cuts, and Santee is no exception. Over the past two years the district has been able to reduce expenditures by $6.2 million, but with this year’s continued economic strain the district is looking at cutting back even more.Classified support and management positions are being reduced, retiring teachers are not being replaced, class sizes are being increased, and district personnel have agreed to a four-day reduction in their work year, which is about a 2%reduction in salary.
These difficult decisions are only part of the solution to the budget gap, and the district is also looking at ways to bring in new revenue. Accelify specializes in helping school districts maximize LEA billing option and MAA Medi-Cal claim revenue, and Santee recognizes the potential value in taking full advantage of these important reimbursement programs.
“The LEA billing option and MAA reimbursement programs offer districts real opportunities to bring in significant reimbursements related to the medically necessary services that they provide to eligible students,” said Alex Brecher, COO, Accelify. “We look forward to working with Santee School District and, based on our experience with other districts, we are confident that our technology, training, and management approach will result in higher reimbursements, which will be invaluable to the district during this challenging time.”
Accelify is currently working with a number of districts in California including Sweetwater Union High School District, the largest high school district in the country. In the first quarter of effort Accelify increased Medi-Cal participation by more than 25% while reducing the district’s personnel’s workload significantly. Accelify is also working with Green Dot Public Schools in Los Angeles to provide products and services for its MAA program. In the first quarter of service Accelify was able to ensure more than 90% participation. More recently, Accelify was selected by Travis Unified School District and has increased its MAA participation to 100%.
