Therapy Solutions Unlimited and Accelify Announce Partnership
January 5, 2011
Therapy Solutions Unlimited (TSU) and Accelify, LLC (Accelify) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a partnership to enhance their capabilities and offer unmatched benefits to their client school districts. Accelify will provide its proprietary Individualized Education Plan (IEP) development, service tracking and Medicaid billing systems to TSU for use in their districts, and TSU will offer its outsourced provider services to Accelify’s clients.
“The school-based Medicaid reimbursement program is an important resource for schools,” said Alex Brecher, COO, Accelify. “We have a proven history of increasing reimbursements, and we are confident that this partnership will help more districts benefit from the Medicaid claiming program. Additionally, we are pleased to be able to offer our clients TSU’s resources of highly skilled service providers, which will significantly reduce the work associated with recruitment for these specialized positions.”
The partnership will have significant advantages for each company’s client school districts. By implementing Accelify’s proprietary systems, TSU will be able to help districts increase Medicaid reimbursements and streamline management of their special education programs. Accelify’s electronic IEP system, AcceliPLAN, will allow districts to eliminate duplicate data entry and increase compliance with IDEA regulations. The electronic service tracking system, AcceliTRACK, will simplify student service scheduling and reporting, and will automate the claim development process to take the administrative burden off school staff. TSU clients will also benefit from Accelify’s experienced personnel that have extensive backgrounds in school-based Medicaid, which will help keep districts in regulatory compliance and ensure that they are taking full advantage of Medicaid reimbursement opportunities.

“TSU has developed a wide recruitment network to proactively meet the needs of our clients in the disciplines of speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, school social work, and school psychology,” said Lori Shaffer, M.A., CCC-SLP, and CEO of Therapy Solutions Unlimited. “Our services save our clients a lot of time and money, and we are pleased that our partnership with Accelify will help schools streamline the Medicaid claiming process and gain additional funds to use towards students’ educations. TSU and Accelify’s combined forces truly will be a win-win for every school we work with.”
TSU is a one-stop resource for districts looking for highly qualified therapists to provide specialized student services. TSU uses a multi-faceted approach to attract the very best therapists, and employs a personalized and thorough interview process to ensure that every addition to the team is a perfect fit. The company also has a Clinical Support Team that provides ongoing support to its therapists in the field. TSU’s unique approach fosters dedication, loyalty, and long-lasting relationships with staff – benefits that transfer to TSU’s client districts. Relying on TSU for the recruitment, placement, and ongoing support and training of therapists results in a continuity of services for the school and relieves administrative stresses by adequately staffing the therapy professionals needed to maintain compliance with IEP guidelines. Another advantage of working with TSU is that the company offers unmatched flexibility, providing full time, part time, and per diem assignments as needed.
The services offered by TSU and Accelify will help districts simplify the management of their special education programs, reduce workload for district staff, and increase Medicaid reimbursements. In times of increasing budgetary challenges, being able to access a comprehensive sol ution for special education management and Medicaid reimbursements will allow districts to focus their resources on other areas of need.
