MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH May 27, 2015 Page 3 After surpassing our billing accuracy goal of 80% in FY 13-14, we set a new goal of reaching 90% in FY 14-15. Current, combined accuracy this quarter in medical and dental clinics is 88.6% (medical: 82%, dental: 95%). Billing accuracy for most recent month is artificially reduced as many of the claims from the most recent quarter are still being processed. Monthly numbers from the most current quarter will increase (and less so with previous quarters) and will be updated on future dashboards as those back claims receive payment. Progress continues in refining our definition of billable claims, though the billing accuracy percent presented here always reflects a conservative estimate of accuracy. Though reducing the proportion of unpaid Self -Pay claims is a work in progress, it’s not likely we will ever recover 100% of those claims. Therefore, 90% is still an aggressive, but achievable goal. Dental earned revenue has consistently increased from year to year, and our current average monthly revenue ($34k/month) exceeds our budget projection ($32k/month). Medical earned revenue follows a similar trend as last FY. The monthly average after this quarter ($48.5k/month) is greater than FY14 ($44k/y) and FY13 ($25k/y), but slightly higher than our budget projection ($48k/month). Both expected seasonal increases in revenue (flu season) and additional staff filling vacant medical positions contributed to the Q3 increase in revenue. Staff turnover, however, decreased both expenses and revenues in clinic. The Board members received the report with no questions. VI. Action Items (Non Consent) A. General Public Seat Recommendation Susan Elmore, Chair, informed the BOH members that there is currently an opening for an At- Large position on the Board of Health, created by the resignation of Esther Earbin in April 2015.

Reappointment Recommendation Susan Elmore, Chair, conveyed that Nick Galvez’ term expires on June 30, 2015; therefore, the Board of Health will vote to recommend him to his first full term starting June 2015.
