CLARIFICATION:

1. Question : Could you confirm if teletherapy, onsite or both services are being considered?

Answer : Onsite is being primarily considered. Recently, we had to pivot to some virtual

sessions during the ICE and CBP sweep that took place, however this was an unusual

circumstance. Onsite and in person is primary for 98% of the time.

< 2% virtual the remainder of the time would only be due to a potential unusual situation.

2. Question : Can you please confirm the primary languages spoken by students whose first

language is not English and who would need these services (Spanish, French, Vietnamese)?

Answer:. Spanish (approx. 90%), Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, Urdu, Arabic, Bengali, French,

Gujarati, Nepali, and others

3. Question : If we were to be accepted as the agency to provide services, would we be able to

bill the student’s medicaid or private insurance for services rendered?

Answer: The contractor will not be eligible to bill Medicaid or private insurance for services

to students. Medicaid billing and annual cost reporting will be done at the district level.

4. Question : Is the school board looking for a counselor to be in every school five days per

week?

Answer: The contractor will not be eligible to bill Medicaid or private insurance for services

to students. Medicaid billing and annual cost reporting will be done at the district level.

5. Question : If the grant is awarded, are the funds paid up front or does the grantee need to

invoice the school board as services are rendered?

contractors until services have been rendered. The contractor will be required to invoice the

district and OPSB will process invoices for payment once the services have been confirmed

for the referenced dates on the invoices
