    Webinar Training Sessions: With all of the changes in Medicaid claiming, both at a national level and within the individual states, training of staff is vital to the appropriate documentation of services. We provide specific training for staff that exceeds that of any billing service. In addition to the webinars, online tutorials are available on the Client Only and T-TRAK sections of our website.

    Quality Assurance: This is a unique feature for our clients and has proven to be a tremendous benefit. We have updated our Quality Assurance process to include a scoring system that will assist our client districts with determining specific issues. If you are using another vendor as your billing service, do they provide a quarterly review of your documentation? Or do you only see them once or twice a year? We believe in supporting our clients all year.

    Commonly Asked Questions:We provide space in our Newsletter for "commonly asked questions" by our clients. We will continue to provide updates on questions and concerns from our clients in all of the states we support.

    Electronic Claims: TBS has created an e-mail address for clients interested in filing log sheets electronically. TBS has also created an electronic health records application (web-based T-TRAK) for those states and clients with desire to submit services online.

    TBS Scholarship Awards: TBS has a Scholarship fund that is designated exclusively to students with IEP's residing and attending within a district that is a client of Timberline Billing Service, LLC. Please see brochure for information, or visit the client only site for an application.
