4.D. Consideration and discussion to take possible action to terminate agreement with MSB School Services, provider of third-party Medicaid billing services
Description:
As you may know, the District currently contracts with MSB Schools Services for third party Medicaid billing services. We have had two recent issues with MSB of significant concern: first, in January 2025, MSB notified us that they were changing their price structure without entering into any form of negotiation with the district. Second, the district has observed several performance issues with MSB, including the input of billing services. The District responded to MSB that it was not in agreement with its new price structure and MSB responded to say that the District would need to terminate its services. Legal counsel is working with MSB to prepare a termination agreement to better protect the interest of the District, for which I plan to present to the Board for action. At the same time, we are currently evaluating new providers or the possibility of removing the district from the School Health and Related Services (SHARS) program altogether. I recommend Board approval to terminate the agreement with MSB School Services.
