Rate Setting/Cost Settlement
Our team reviews and establishes appropriate rates and/or performs a cost settlement process to help ensure that all your allowable costs are captured and reimbursed.
State Plan Review and Amendments
PCG reviews State Plans and can assist in the process to amend the State Plan. Amending the State Plan can require a significant investment of time. We can help draft and negotiate changes to the state plan to reduce the burden on agency staff.
Medicaid Fee for Service Billing
PCG can administer your Medicaid Fee for Service billing both statewide and at the participating school district level. Our technology and expertise make the process easier and more efficient for your staff.
Our team can assist with all aspects of the Medicaid billing process, from the tools for capturing the required documentation of delivered services to the submission and processing of Medicaid claims. EasyTrac™—our online service documentation and Fee for Service billing tool—provides your school or district with a single solution for your Medicaid process.
Medicaid Administrative Claiming (MAC)
MAC programs offer Federal reimbursement for the costs of administrative activities that some school staff perform in support of their Medicaid state plan. Our integrated claiming system incorporates cost reporting and time studies to determine reimbursement using state methodologies for services–like conducting outreach, assisting with application, or linking students to Medicaid–that support the program. PCG helps scope, design, develop, and implement new programs, and can also support schools in the administration of their own MAC programs.
Medicaid Cost Settlements
PCG assists states with the design and implementation of the Medicaid Cost Settlement processes. We’ll help collect the required financial data, conduct data validations, and complete the annual cost settlement and reconciliation. PCG can also support schools in the preparation and completion the annual cost report. For both states and schools, PCG can provide support for any state or federal reviews.
Supporting Student Success Through EDPlan Health
Mental and Behavioral Health Providers:
Mental and behavioral health providers are essential to student success—both in and out of the classroom. Their role goes far beyond delivering critical services. These professionals also manage vital documentation, including assessments and care plans, provide a wide range of mental and behavioral health interventions, and ensure thorough records of all services delivered.
To support the unique needs of school-based mental and behavioral health providers, PCG proudly offers EDPlan MBHS—a secure, efficient, and customizable web-based solution. EDPlan MBHS streamlines the creation of required documentation and service tracking, helping providers stay compliant with district regulations while focusing more time on student care.
School Nurses:
School nurses are essential to student success, and their responsibilities extend far beyond basic nursing care. They manage a wide range of tasks, including:
- Ensuring compliance with daily and PRN medication delivery
- Documenting office visits and scheduled nursing services
- Creating and maintaining Individual Healthcare Plans (IHPs)
To support these critical functions, PCG is proud to offer EDPlan Health—a secure, configurable, and user-friendly web-based tool designed to streamline nursing documentation across your district. EDPlan Health helps school nurses stay organized, meet compliance requirements, and focus more on student care.
