Kelly told trustees gross patient revenue for February was $2,521,911 and the hospital ended the month with a cash balance of $132,688. Accounts receivable rose to about $4.9 million, an increase of roughly $850,000 from January, which Kelly attributed in part to a period when the center's 3M coding software was down and caused a billing delay. Net patient revenue was reported at $1,370,646, an increase of about $560,000 from January.

Other figures presented: the hospital wrote off $58,773 to a collection agency; charity care totaled $20,000; operating expenses (excluding salaries, benefits and depreciation) were $663,008.21 for February. Salaries and wages were reported at $534,000 for the month. Kelly said year-to-date net income was $862,559 and that those year-to-date totals benefited materially from the cost‑report payment.

Trustees asked about wind damage to the hospital roof. Kelly said a section of the newer roof membrane separated from insulation during high winds and that the hospital is obtaining quotes for replacement; she noted the insurance deductible equals 2% of the property's value and that the deductible may limit how much the insurer will cover.

The board moved to approve and accept the written report for March 2025; the motion by Dr. Simon, seconded by Mr. Bowman, passed by roll call: Bowman — yes; Burke — yes; Simon — yes; Mossberg — yes; Brown — yes; Hannaford — yes; Martin — yes.

Dr. Burton, speaking for medical staff, said clinicians discussed the tests during the medical-staff meeting and concluded the two in-house assays were performed infrequently and could be sent to an outside laboratory at lower cost without affecting care. He said CK‑MB is largely superseded by troponin testing for chest‑pain evaluation.

The board heard cost comparisons: last year the hospital performed 28 CK‑MB tests in-house at a cost of $2,286.97; outsourcing those tests would have cost about $112. Dr. Burton said the hospital ran 15 phenytoin tests last year at an in-house cost of $687.75 versus about $165 if sent out. Trustees said shifting those low-volume tests offsite would reduce laboratory expense and workload.

On panic values, medical staff recommended lowering the hemoglobin threshold that triggers a 24/7 laboratory call to ordering clinicians from less than 8 g/dL to less than 7 g/dL. Dr. Burton said the change aligns with contemporary standards of care and will reduce the number of immediate calls the lab must make while maintaining clinical safety.

A motion to approve items 5b–5d (the two test discontinuations and the panic-value change) was made and seconded; the board approved the measures by roll call: Simon — yes; Mossberg — yes; Brown — yes; Hannaford — yes; Martin — yes; Bowman — yes; Burke — yes.

Board members said the change is intended to lower billing costs and align payments with patient-claim collections rather than all receipts to the hospital. The contract includes performance indicators and an early-exit clause if CodeQuik fails to meet those metrics, and legal review was completed before the vote.

CFO Kelly described the negotiations and said the board had discussed the change for some time and considered other vendors. Under the hospital's earlier arrangement with TruBridge, the board was paying about 4.69% on collections and, according to Kelly, that percentage was applied to all dollars coming into the center. The new CodeQuik arrangement, Kelly said, would apply the percentage only to collections from patient claims, not to unrelated receipts such as donations or cost-report settlements. Kelly also said the hospital will continue using its current RCM technology platform provided by TruBridge while outsourcing the operational billing work to CodeQuik.

Trustee Dr. Brown moved the amendment; Mr. Martin seconded. The motion passed by roll call vote: Burke — yes; Simon — yes; Mossberg — yes; Brown — yes; Hannaford — yes; Martin — yes; Bowman — yes. The board did not record any no or abstain votes.

Board members said they reviewed outcomes at a similar facility (Pratt) that previously made a comparable transition. The contract's performance measures and the narrower fee base were cited by trustees as the rationale for the change. Legal counsel Drew reviewed the agreement before the meeting.

The board authorized hospital staff to finalize the amendment with CodeQuik and to monitor the vendor's performance against the contract benchmarks.

","The Share Medical Center board approved an amendment to move full revenue cycle management to CodeQuik at a 3% fee on patient-claim collections, replacing a higher-fee arrangement and keeping the existing RCM software platform in place.","actionData","errors"]
