Local counselor group asks Spring ISD to consider MAP Counseling for Medicaid reimbursement services RFP
Summary
A practitioner from MAP Counseling used the board's agenda-participation time to describe services and ask that the district consider its RFP for Medicaid reimbursement services (agenda item 13.12). The speaker described school‑based, home and virtual services, Medicaid billing and family‑centered supports.
Hailey Langford, a licensed professional counselor affiliated with MAP Counseling, used the board’s agenda-participation slot Oct. 14 to ask trustees to consider her agency for the district’s request for proposals on Medicaid reimbursement services (agenda item 13.12).
"We house all of our services in the schools, home, and in an office. We take all Medicaid," Langford said. She described services that include individual counseling, group therapy, behavioral modification, participation in ARD (Admission, Review and Dismissal) meetings, case management and a virtual psychiatrist for medication needs. "We do pro bono services, as well as private insurance," Langford said, adding that MAP Counseling offers transportation to appointments when necessary and works to include family goals in treatment plans.
Langford told trustees the agency hopes to serve students across elementary through high school and the district’s early college programs, and she said her organization aims to address barriers — such as lack of insurance or transportation — that might prevent students from receiving mental health services.
The board did not respond during the agenda-participation period; the superintendent and staff will consider public input when evaluating agenda items, per the board’s public-comment instructions shown at the meeting.
Ending: Langford’s remarks were limited to the three-minute public comment window. She identified her organization, summarized services and requested that the district consider MAP Counseling’s RFP submission for item 13.12.
