Third-Party Billing
With you from
start to finish
A Chance To Grow offers a third-party billing service that will work with you throughout the entire process - from enrolling with the state to assisting the school with obtaining parental permission to actual billing. Since 2011, ACTG has helped more than 50 charter schools across Minnesota generate over $2.5 million in revenue for special education students through this service. With our extensive knowledge of charter school finance, we can ensure that the schools we work with are reporting their expenditures properly at year's end.
Money a school/district receives from third party billing can be used to:
- Benefit students with special needs
- Pay for the cost of doing third-party billing
- Provide training and assistance to increase the amount of third party billing revenue
Please contact us by calling (612) 789-1236 or email thirdpartybilling@actg.org for more information regarding our service rates.

- Check with the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) to see if the school has already registered for a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number. If not, we will register the school so they are in compliance.
- Check with the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) to see if the school is currently enrolled to bill for IEP third-party billing. If not, we will generate all the paperwork that is needed to get enrolled, including a Request for Hardship to waive the enrollment fee (for smaller charter schools).
- Check eligibility of the special education students provided by the school and work with the school to obtain signed consent forms.
- Work with the school and DHS to establish interim rates for billing.
- Stay up-to-date with changes that might affect IEP third-party billing through MDE and DHS and notify what the school would need to do to stay in compliance.
- Train school staff members and providers what they need to do for third-party billing.
- Provide customer service for staff and providers as necessary.
- Generate and provide necessary annual data for submitting to DHS at year's end.
- Check the MDE website to make sure that billable expenditures are reported properly in the MDE reporting system through reports posted on their website (so the school will not lose money during the annual data reconciliation that is done two years after the school bills).
- Prepare all the paperwork for revalidation, when necessary.
- Help the school through an MDE or DHS audit by providing documentation as necessary.
