What is the Process?

Setting Up a Contract
No recruiters and dozens of resumes. Our SLP administrators, familiar with our local schools, will hand pick the right SLP/SLPA from our proven staff.  Clinicians stay with us forever, some for more than 15 years! We choose clinicians  based on knowledge of eligibility and compliance standards, as well as their attitude towards supportive team collaboration. Start here to connect to our team.

Maintaining the Financial Contract Simplified financial processes. Our team can supplies the NPA/financial documentation to support your district’s individual needs. Our clinicians bill Medicaid monthly to ensure that your district’s reimbursement is maximized.

Obtaining Clinical Support
Speech pathologist leadership is immediately accessible to both your district and our clinician at any time throughout the contract. PCSS measures school-level satisfaction regularly, resulting in happy principals, parents, and team members.

Independent Evaluations/Compensatory Services
We provide compensatory services for our district partners; both onsite or via teletherapy. We do not have a clinic location. Questions? Contact us.

Faq

Yes. Pacific Coast Speech Services has been a Nonpublic Agency (NPA) since 1995 assuring we are a reliable, compliant source of district educational services. We take care of details such as DOJ fingerprinting and HR regulations so that services in your district can begin immediately.

PCSS Completes:

  • DOJ and FBI fingerprinting and NPA requirements such as DOJ scans, TB tests & trainings
  • Required insurance to meet your district’s needs
  • Presentation of select clinicians, chosen for compliance and specific knowledge addressing your caseload

District Supplies:

  • Resource contacts for questions regarding your unique district preferences
  • Site based instructions and contacts for MediCal billing

You can rely on our documented history of satisfied customers and our well prepared school-based clinicians. PCSS clinicians have a detailed start-up procedures manual with recommendations on eligibility and compliance. However, we understand that every district has slightly different policies. Our clinicians typically meet with a seasoned district clinician or coordinator at the start of a new site. We ask for additional forms & guidelines specific to your district. We continue to listen to IEP team members and administration for final guidance.    

Most of our clinicians have had years, sometimes decades of school-based experience. If we have a clinician that worked out of state, or is new to the schools, we provide training materials and assign a PCSS mentor at no additional cost to your district to  ensure compliance. Clinical Fellows are supervised at double the CA licensing standard by PCSS SLP leaders in the community at no cost to you.

When our clinicians have questions about their caseload, they typically contact us first, saving district staff time and effort. If we can’t answer their question, or it relates to district policies or legal questions, PCSS seeks answers from your district administration.

Pacific Coast Speech Services serves Orange County and portions of Riverside, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties.
