Fairbanks and Los Angeles County Office of Education to Co-Present at National Conference

Chicago, Illinois, October 4, 2024

State Medicaid Agencies and Local Education Agencies (LEAs) across the United States are preparing to implement new guidance issued in 2023 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), “Delivering Services in School-Based Settings: A Comprehensive Guide to Medicaid Services and Administrative Claiming”.

Fairbanks and the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) will be co-presenting at the National Alliance for Medicaid in Education (NAME) conference in October 2024 on one of the policy flexibilities allowed in the new CMS Guide, a precision level reduction to the Random Moment Time Study (RMTS) statistical sampling methodology.

Fairbanks created a proprietary RMTS Claim Simulator to model the impact of the potential RMTS precision reduction and related policy changes. Projecting and visualizing how policy changes will impact program operations and quarterly LEA reimbursements can be challenging. The Fairbanks MAC Simulator supports our clients with critical analysis and data to conduct a cost/benefit analysis to evaluate policy decisions.

This NAME Conference presentation provides broader access to the Fairbanks MAC Simulator and a crucial perspective on the potential RMTS precision level reduction policy flexibility currently being discussed nationwide. NAME Conference registration is at www.medicaidforeducation.org. Fairbanks is a Diamond Level Sponsor of the 2024 NAME Conference.
