The North Dakota Public Health Insurance Trust is a public member owned, board of trustee governed VEBA (Voluntary Employee Benefit Association), and non-profit Trust. It is a self-funded medical insurance program that is owned by its members (ND public entities: cities, counties, municipalities, school districts), which means assets and surpluses are owned and retained by trust members as opposed to being owned by an insurance carrier or other 3rd-party. NDPHIT provides ND public entities with more control over their health insurance and employee benefit programs, as well as improved rate stability, efficiency and better employee choice.

South East Education Cooperative’s School-Based Medicaid Consortium works with special education units across North Dakota to access available federal reimbursement dollars for medically necessary services provided to students as specified in their Individualized Education Plan or IEP. SEEC uses Relay’s Medicaid claiming software to effectively and efficiently record, submit and review claims for reimbursement, advocates for school-based Medicaid at the state level, and provides training, technical assistance, resources and tools to create an effective program within the unit.

Frontline Recruitment & Hiring manages the job posting and application process for district employment opportunities. SEEC schools can participate in the Consortium at a reduced cost compared to having an individual contract with Frontline. For more information, visit the link above.
