Maximizing School Medicaid reimbursements for eligible students
Deer Valley Schools faced the challenge of maximizing school Medicaid reimbursements and providing comprehensive health services to non-special educationSpecial Education Instruction designed to meet the unique needs of a student with a disability, provided at no cost to parents, including specially designed instruction and related services. students eligible for Medicaid. The district wanted to improve their billing process, ensure parental consent, and accurately track Medicaid covered services in order to increase revenue. They faced challenges because of the complexity of service provisions and documentation guidelines.
Using Go Solutions to increase reimbursements for covered services provided to all Medicaid students
Go Solutions, dedicated to optimizing student success and community impact, introduced innovative IEP and Medicaid software to DVUSD. The GoClaim software helps manage Medicaid billing by identifying billing gaps, categorizing unsigned parental consents, and tracking service data. It gives staff important insights to do their jobs well.
Additionally, Go Solutions changed its training to virtual sessions in response to COVID-19, which proved to be extremely successful. The district’s staff, such as speech therapists and physical therapists, received specialized training specific to their job. This training helps them stay informed and skilled in using the system effectively within the school setting.
"We really benefit from the trainings, especially during COVID it evolved into virtual trainings and they worked really well. Go Solutions staff are willing to do multiple trainings with each department such as speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and more. The system we have in place with the trainings works really well to ensure our staff is always caught up."
