Abstract

Action Requested: Vote on a request to accept $54.779.03 Debt Write-Off

                     

Introduction & Background: Based on the Chatham County Public Health Department Fee Policy, outstanding account having no activity in more than twelve (12) months shall constitute a debt write-off.  These procedures allow the Health Department to clear outstanding account for the reference 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 07-01-14 thru 06-30-15 is $54,779.03

                     

Budgetary Impact:  The budgetary impact of the debt write-off results in uncollectible revenue totaling $54,779.03

                     

Recommendation: Vote on a request to accept $54,779.03 Debt Write-Off
