Board reviews yearly memoranda for Frontier Health counseling and nursing services via Bruce Stellar Therapy
Summary
Board members were briefed on annual memoranda with Frontier Health for school-based counseling and with Bruce Stellar Therapy Services to provide nursing services for Medicaid students.
Board members reviewed routine annual memoranda of understanding with two service providers: Frontier Health, which provides counseling services at no charge to the district, and Bruce Stellar Therapy Services, which provides nursing and related Medicaid-billable services for students who require medical supports.
Staff said the Frontier Health memorandum is an annual agreement that allows counseling services in some schools at no cost to the district and that similar MOUs typically return in June and July. For Bruce Stellar Therapy Services, staff said the agreement covers Medicaid-eligible students who need nursing supports such as catheter care or insulin administration; the district receives fees that are returned to the nursing program.
Officials emphasized that the nursing services are not telehealth and that the services have been provided in schools for years. The board was told fees collected through Medicaid billing support the district’s nursing program.
No vote on these agreements was recorded in the provided transcript; staff indicated the MOUs are routine yearly renewals.
