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