The follow members were present: Richard A. Powell, Commissioner President; Roger D. Rose; Leslie R. Walters; James Widman, Council President; Earl Gaerte; Gary Sriver; Mike Gearhart; Christopher D. Sailors; Dave Helt; Judy DeVries; and Penny Shireman, First Deputy Auditor. The meeting was called to review the Fulton County EMS Financial Assessment completed by Blue & Co. Jim Miller, Blue & Co., reported that he looked at accounts receivable and aging; remittance activity; policies and procedures; and other applicable documentation. He discussed EMS statistics, insurance billing, self-pay billing, collection practices, insurance claim filing, account posting, fee structure and contractual allowances. He reported that claim filing is completed on the average of 36 days after the date of service. He felt that was a high number. He suggested the best practices would be considerably less than 36 days, generally four to six days. He noted that the number may be somewhat skewed due to refilling of claims. He said that Fulton County EMS has incurred $411,000 in bad debt or debt deemed uncollectible in the past four years. In summary, he noted that, even with the net loss, in terms of the administration of the program, the care and services being provided, the process is Уpretty clean.Ф Roger Rose moved to adjourn this joint meeting of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and the Fulton County Council at 6:15 p.m. Leslie Walters seconded the motion. Motion carried 7-0. FULTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS _____________________________ _____________________________ Richard A. Powell, President Leslie R.
