MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />April 23, 2014 <br />S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2014 Agenda & Abstracts/April Page 2 <br />V. Educational Session <br /> <br />A. 3rd Quarter Financial Reports <br /> <br />Christy Bradsher reported on the 3rd Quarter Financial report which was included in the <br />packet. For the reporting period July 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014 the department’s <br />total revenue received is 66.79% of total budgeted revenue. Total actual expenditures <br />for the department are 69.42% of total budgeted expenditures. <br /> <br />Overall, actuals to budgeted amounts for both revenue and expenditures are on track <br />and we anticipate meeting targeted budget projections for the current fiscal year. <br /> <br /> <br />B. 3rd Quarter Billing Dashboard Reports <br /> <br />Susan Wagoner gave a summary on the 3rd Quarter Billing Dashboard Reports. The <br />dashboard shows that we are currently billing at an average of 80% accuracy. <br />Compared to the past two years, our accuracy has almost doubled. Two reminders of <br />note: because of missing or incorrect patient information, we will never be able to bill at <br />100% accuracy; and 90% accuracy during flu season (October/November) is only <br />possible with the increased “easy” claims. <br /> <br />Also, the previous month will always have low accuracy because of the amount of time <br />it takes for payments to post to our system from payer sources. <br /> <br />She mentioned at this point, they have reached their billing accuracy target for this year. <br />They will continue Billing QI and hope to maintain or make additional, but slow gains in <br />their accuracy. <br /> <br />The BOH members had several questions that were addressed by Susan <br />Wagoner and Dr. Bridger. <br /> <br /> <br />C.
