Building a Stronger Community Together

We are committed to enhancing the impact of school Medi-Cal programs across California, fostering collaboration, and empowering those who care for our students.

Empowering Coordinators Statewide

Each March, Paradigm Healthcare Services proudly hosts the School Medicaid Billing Education Series (SMBES), a legacy event that has strengthened California’s school Medi-Cal programs since 2002. This week-long virtual series is an essential platform for Program Coordinators to deepen their expertise in managing and maximizing their billing programs. Through ten carefully curated workshops, SMBES fosters a collaborative environment where knowledge is shared, best practices are exchanged, and the bonds within our community are reinforced—all at no cost to participants.

This annual event plays a vital role in driving success across school districts, and registration opens each January.
