Committee presses for clearer AR reporting after $25,000 write-off and rising collections work
Summary
Members heard that collections have improved but payments lag behind charges; staff reported a $25,000 uncollectible debt written off in March and described work to clean old accounts and increase sent-to-collections activity.
Committee members pressed staff for clearer reporting on accounts receivable and collections as the meeting reviewed month-to-month and year-over-year charts. The Executive Director said charges are up compared with last year, but collections have not yet increased at the same rate; she also disclosed a $25,000 old account was written off in March.
"We wrote off a $25,000 old debt, which a patient could not pay and we could not send to collections," the Executive Director said, noting that the new accounting clerk has been scrubbing old numbers and more accounts have been sent to collections in recent months. Jeremy Simmons asked for personnel and salary subcategories to be separated in future reports so variance and staffing costs can be seen more clearly.
