Providing better health care to students in
need is a goal of every school district. Public schools receiving
reimbursements for linking students and their families to Medi-Cal /
Healthy Families Insurance and covered services are finding it easier with
the recently released web-based MAATS 2.0 application.
With the new application, Medical Billing Technologies, Inc. (MBT) can now
service the same number of clients with half the resources, thereby freeing
more personnel to consult with school districts on how to maximize the
state Medi-Cal program for their school district. Approximately 25% of
MBT's customers are using the new application, with over 2000 users already
trained. According to Frank Calderaro, Consultant, MyCIOOnDemand, "MAATS
2.0 is more intuitive than the old system, and it is already enabling MBT
to rethink how we deliver services around MAA."
MBT developed MAATS 2.0 in conjunction with Softjourn, a software
engineering services firm headquartered in Fremont, CA, with operations in
Ukraine. Commenting on the outsourcing arrangement, Mr. Calderaro stated
that Softjourn delivers just like their slogan says, "It's not how far away
we are, it's how close we work with you!" Calderaro further adds, "I would
not hesitate to work with Softjourn again; they did everything that was
asked of them and they were very flexible in working within the framework
of the project."
School districts contract with MBT for consultation and training services
to participate in the Medi-Cal Administrative Activities Program. MAATS
2.0 offers a ground-breaking, intuitive interface leading to a faster time
entry and approval process. With this new version and MBT's high-tech high-
touch service, districts will see increased revenues -- a hot topic during
these tough economic times.
