Abstract

Action Requested: Vote on a request to approve $37,239.94 Debt Write-Off

                     

Introduction & Background: Based on the Chatham County Public Health Department Fee Policy, outstanding accounts having no activity in more than twelve (12) months shall constitute a debt write-off.  These procedures allow the Health Department to clear outstanding accounts for the referenced time period.

                     

Discussion & Analysis: Debts of client accounts having no activity for more than twelve (12) months are presented to the Board of Health and Board of County Commissioners for write-off consideration.  Any activity in the client’s account after the write-off shall reactivate the debt and collection efforts will resume.  The write-off for Patient Fees in the Preventive Health Services Division for 07-01-13 through 06-30-14 is $37,239.94.

                     

Budgetary Impact: The budgetary impact of the debt write-off results in uncollectible revenue totaling $37,239.94.

                     

Recommendation: Vote on a request to approve $37,239.94 Debt Write-Off
