In recent years, school districts have faced unprecedented challenges in meeting the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of their students. Many California schools have had to quickly expand existing programs and build entirely new school-based mental health services as they adapt to the changing needs of students.

On top of that, districts must often hire and train new personnel, figure out new systems of documentation and data tracking, supervise counseling or social work interns, and try to figure out how to submit billing claims.  This is where Exym software for schools can help!

Exym is the trusted choice for California schools when it comes to confidential documentation and safeguarding student data privacy. Multiple districts in Southern California have also partnered with Exym to effectively manage private insurance and L.A. Department of Mental Health (LADMH) billing claims.

California Schools are Already Using Exym School Billing Software

In the past, California schools have been reluctant to bill for services that are eligible for Medi-Cal reimbursements. Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, author of California Assembly Bill 483, explains that:

Many school districts have had good reason to avoid Medi-Cal billing, because districts have historically struggled with Medi-Cal audit practices and have even had to return significant amounts of funds that were disallowed during audits. Local Education Agencies (LEAs) have also received unclear and inconsistent guidance from the state around  Medi-Cal billing leading many of them to opt out of the program. 

However, a recently passed California bill, AB 483, expands access to school-based mental health and health services by reforming the auditing process, making it easier for schools to participate in Medi-Cal billing. Through DHCS reforms to the auditing process, more schools can successfully bill under the California LEA Billing Option Program (LEA BOP), increasing funding to support students.

It's time to prepare your district for success in the upcoming 2023-2024 school year and take advantage of new billing opportunities! Take the first steps towards streamlining documentation, processes, and billing by integrating Exym school billing software into your district.
