ABOUT US

MSB Consulting is an educational consulting firm that works directly with the Special Education community. We help our clients maximize their reimbursements from the Medicaid to Schools program, providing much-needed funding back to the school districts that we serve. We are able to accomplish this by always looking to Our Purpose: to collaboratively pursue excellence in Medicaid with school districts in a way that builds compliance, accuracy, and maximization and yields client loyalty.

We focus exclusively on meeting the needs of school districts, implementing new technologies and processes with a commitment to excellence in quality and compliance in order to fulfill our purpose. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond the call of duty, not just existing as another billing vendor. MSB is not a one-size-fits-all company; we are versatile and fully customizable to fit each individual district's needs. Rather than providing districts with only a single person as a resource, our entire company is available as a support system, with each and every member dedicated to our purpose and our guiding principles. We center ourselves on building lasting and meaningful relationships that create a family dynamic for both our clients and our employees. Rooted in community, trust, and transparency, MSB is held to the highest standard to empower and lead our clients and ourselves in a way that is always driven by one singular purpose - to simplify districts' Medicaid experience so they can impact students
