About the Health Care Finance Solutions and School Based Claiming

The Health Care Finance Solutions (HCFS) is a part of ForHealth Consulting (ForHealth), the health care consulting division of UMass Medical School, Massachusetts’ only public medical school. As nationwide leaders in the development and implementation of health care reform, ForHealth and HCFS stay ahead of health care trends and help strategize and plan for changes that impact both health care delivery systems and patients on the local, state and national level.

 

HCFS helps state agencies identify opportunities to increase savings and reimbursements through federal and other third-party sources, establish effective savings and reimbursement programs, and capitalize on all possible revenue streams. At the same time, we identify opportunities for our clients to increase health care related services, reduce the net cost of delivery, and help ensure individuals receive the health and human service benefits to which they may be entitled.

 

About School Based Claiming (SBC)

 

Federal financial participation (FFP) is available through Title XIX and Title XXI of the Social Security Act to match expenditures by cities and towns, regional school districts and charter schools (collectively, Local Education Agencies (LEAs)) for the provision of medically necessary medical services provided to Medicaid-enrolled students.  Also eligible for FFP are the LEA costs associated with performing Medicaid administrative activities related to the delivery of services and with performing qualifying outreach activities.  Collectively, this program is referred to as the School-Based Medicaid Program.

 

The SBC unit at HCFS works closely with Massachusetts and other states to develop, implement, and manage various activities that support direct service or administrative activity claiming to the Medicaid program.  To that end, SBC develops, maintains, and supports solutions for states to compile, report and review eligible expenditures for Medicaid Administrative Claiming, Direct Service Cost Report Reconciliation and Settlement, Medicaid Eligibility Matching, Random Moment Time Studies or other equivalent allocation methods to support the identification of Medicaid related costs. With a deep knowledge of federal Medicaid regulations, SBC optimizes claiming opportunities, while ensuring compliance with all applicable state and federal rules.   Today, SBC supports over 50,000 users in 9 states.
