February 25, 2011
TOWSON, MD. & NEW YORK, NY — February 25, 2011 — Spectrum K12 School Solutions Inc. (Spectrum K12) and Accelify, LLC (Accelify) today announced an alliance that will provide school districts across the country with a solution for managing special education caseloads, service assurance and Medicaid billing.
Spectrum K12 has a strong presence across the U.S. serving the K-12 student population with its award-winning individualized education plan (IEP), response to interventio n (RTI) and student achievement web-based data systems. Accelify is one the fastest growing school-based Medicaid billing vendors; its suite of claims management software is fully integrated with a best-in-class service scheduling, tracking and compliance system. Each of the companies has patented, award-winning systems that create an end-to-end solution for everything from RTI through service tracking and beyond. This unique offering significantly reduces workloads for district staffs, increases regulatory compliance and facilitates Medicaid submission, helping them maximize reimbursements.
Through the alliance, Spectrum K12 will introduce Accelify’s AcceliTRACK scheduling, tracking and compliance system to complement Spectrum K12’s EXCEED® suite of student achievement solutions. Spectrum K12’s clients will be able to access Accelify’s proprietary Medicaid billing technology, AcceliCLAIM, and related billing services designed to increase Medicaid reimbursements while maintaining strict compliance standards. AcceliCLAIM and AcceliTRACK are able to interact directly with the data in the EXCEED® suite, which will help ensure that all prescribed student services are tracked and all Medicaid-eligible services are claimed. The result should be greater compliance with special education regulations and maximum Medicaid reimbursements. Additionally, the data link back to the EXCEED® platform provides increased visibility into district performance for each and every student.
“We are looking forward to bringing our combined solutions to districts across the country,” said Alex Brecher, COO, Accelify. “Accelify’s mission is to help districts streamline caseload management and optimize their Medicaid billing programs. On average, our clients see an increase of 200% in their reimbursements within 18 months of working with us. By uniting our areas of expertise with Spectrum K12’s world-class software and services, we are able to offer clients complete solutions that far surpass anything else on the market.”
“Our goal is to provide our clients with technology solutions that increase accountability and compliance while lowering the effort and cost of managing and tracking student services,” said Spectrum K12’s President Jim Marshall. “The combination of Spectrum K12’s EXCEED® web-based student achievement solution with Accelify’s systems provides school districts with service delivery assurance while also increasing their Medicaid reimbursements.”
