Summary:
|
|
Paradigm Healthcare, the District’s partner in providing software services, Medicaid direct services, and administrative claiming services, informed the District of a recent change in the law in which additional services can be reimbursed through Medi-Cal that were not allowable reimbursements in the past. Fifty-six percent (56%) of the District’s entire student population is eligible for Medi-Cal.
The Perris Union High School District would like to enter into a Service Agreement with Megan Stone DO, Inc. (Dr. Stone) for billing authorization services in an effort to generate additional funding specific to support the educational needs for students. Dr. Stone is a general practice family doctor who will write prescriptions, determined by the service provider assessments, for any student who is receiving any of the following support and services: Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Educationally Related Mental Health, Social Work services, Behavior Intervention Services, Substance Intervention Services, and School Psychology Services. These prescriptions are required in order for Medi-Cal to reimburse the costs incurred by the District for services rendered.
The term of this Agreement shall be from March 20, 2024, through June 30, 2024, at an estimated cost of $100,800 based on services known to date. |
