To Our Community
Thank You For All That You Do
Paradigm believes that School Medicaid Billing Programs play a significant role in enhancing opportunities for students and families in our communities. It would not be possible without your commitment and dedication to gathering the paper, signing the forms, and organizing the files. Your daily work makes a difference for those who need it most!
Community Success Stories
Here are a few impact and success stories from our coordinator community.
Hiring
School Nurses
This past year, Director of Student Services at Savanna School District, Hipolito Murillo, was able to hire a part-time School Readiness School Nurse and a full-time position with the assistance of SMAA and LEA Billing program reimbursements.
“This, directly and indirectly, assisted our students and staff in our two School Nurses being able to better serve our school community with better case management and direct services.” What a great use of SMAA and LEA Billing funds!
National Spotlight:
San Diego USD
Michelle Bell, a longtime member of our school Medicaid billing community, was featured in an article by Healthy Schools Campaign about the impact of school health services on the students in San Diego Unified School District.
We’re proud to work alongside Michelle, and SDUSD’s school Medicaid coordinators (Karen Cloutman, Patrice Breslow, Katen Tinker), and for the daily attention she brings to the importance of school health services and programs.
Streamlining
& Maximizing
LEA Billing Coordinators, Toni McCallum (pictured) and Sarah Torres, successfully set up a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) with Paradigm to automate their data sharing process with Paradigm and save valuable time.
Toni and Sarah also recently got their nurses to start documenting their health service assessments in Paradigm’s Student Health Network, which makes billing and reporting a breeze. Thank you for your excellent work, ladies!
