MINUTES - Draft ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH August 28, 2019 S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2019 Agenda & Abstracts/ August Page 3 • Total Billing Accuracy: Continuing with the goal of 90% billing accuracy set in FY 14- 15, the average billing accuracy rate for dental for FY 18-19 was 90% as compared to 101% in FY 17-18. Please note the change in billing accuracy from FY 17-18 to FY 18- 19 is because of the change in calculations to connect payments made back to the date of service (accrual basis of accounting) rather than the date of payment (cash basis of accounting) to help staff track true billing accuracy and compare to the medical billing accuracy measures. The medical billing accuracy measure continues to be a challenge as we work with UNC to improve the accuracy of the reporting system for Health Department revenue and is not included in this quarter’s dashboard. • Dental Earned Revenue by Source: The FY 18-19 average monthly revenue ($46K/month) for the fourth quarter was above our budget projection ($45k/month) and above our FY 17-18 average of $42.5k/month. FY 18-19 dental earned revenue totaled $552k at the end of the fiscal year, compared to $511k at the end of FY 17-18. • Medical Earned Revenue by Source: Medical earned revenue for the fiscal year was below the budgeted projection for FY 18-19 ($55.6k) at $40.6k due to weather related county office closings, extended appointment times, and system billing delays with the Epic Electronic Medical Records system. FY 18-19 medical earned revenue totaled $487k at the end of the fiscal year, compared to $618k at the end of FY 17-18. • Environmental Health Earned Revenue by Source: Environmental Health earned revenue for the fiscal year was below the budgeted projection for FY 18-19 ($53.1k/month) at $49.5k/month) due to weather related county office closings this past fall and wet weather this past spring, which resulted in an inability to perform as many onsite well and septic inspections. Environmental Health earned revenue totaled $594k for FY 18-19, compared to $616k at the end of FY 17-18. • Grants Fund Revenue: FSA has drawn $200k of the multi-year Kenan grant. We will receive the third allocation of $100k after third quarter FY 19-20. Expenditures totaled $61.5k at the end of FY 18-19. The BOH members had no questions. VI. Action Items (Non-Consent) A.
