Special Programs Support for Districts
Clackamas ESD provides educational, motor team, Medicaid administrative claiming and Medicaid administrative billing support to our partner districts.
Educational support at residential programs
We bring an educational team of teacher and coach to the Parrott Creek Ranch, a residential program for youth who are stepping out of incarceration or who are returning from residential placements outside of Oregon.
Immunization data for Parrott Creek is available here. Datos de vacunación para Parrott Creek en español aquí.
Motor Team
We provide trained staff to our school district partners so that they can serve students whose Individualized Educational Plans (IEP) identified necessary occupational and physical therapy supports.
Medicaid administrative claiming
Clackamas ESD helps school districts with the process of Medicaid administrative claiming, a three-times-a-year survey to collect federal dollars for connecting eligible students with community health supports. We use a “train the trainer” model to build district capacity to handle the surveys, and serve as a liaison to the Oregon Health Authority to develop cost pools, process match payments and resolve questions.
Medicaid administrative billing
Medicaid’s fee-for-service process allows districts to recover the costs of providing medically necessary support to eligible students. Clackamas ESD collaborates with school districts and the Oregon Health Authority to identify and account for time spent on reimbursable activities, so that health and education funds are directed appropriately. We help staff use tools to collect the necessary data, and submit claims and reports.
