The New Mexico School Boards Association (NMSBA) Board of Directors recently approved this collaboration with Accelify, LLC to establish a Medicaid Claiming Consortium that will help school districts increase the amount of Medicaid funds they are able to claim for various health-related services they provide to special education students.
"During the past few months, there has been a surge in Medicaid applications throughout the state," said Jack Goldenberg, CEO of Accelify. "In addition, school districts in New Mexico are reimbursed at the rate of 70.88% of approved Medicaid claims - one of the highest rates in the country. The economic stimulus package recently passed by Congress will increase that rate by approximately 7%. This means that School Districts in New Mexico will receive more for every documented claim than ever before."
Accelify has a proven track record of increasing Medicaid revenue for client districts. In many instances, Accelify has been able to produce 100%+ increases for their client districts.
