Summary:
|
MDUSD has a contract with Paradigm HealthCare Services, Inc. to prepare and submit Medi-Cal claims to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) for the reimbursement of health care services provided by MDUSD as a Local Education Agency (LEA). The cost of their services is calculated monthly by taking the approved Medi-Cal reimbursements and adjustments for the month and multiplying the amount by 11%. The monthly invoices are paid against the incoming revenue from Medi-Cal reimbursements; therefore, the costs of these services are cost neutral.
The Board approved the contract on October 26, 2010 in the amount of $122,000. This covers the period July 1, 2010 until June 30, 2013. Staff requests an increase of $50,000 to cover the remaining costs for the duration of the contract. This will bring the total Paradigm contract to $172,000. |
