bad debt write off


Hey Rick, see if this is what you are needing for the closed session bad debt write off, twice a year we write off bad debts , which are accounts of at least 15.00 that have been deemed uncollectible after repeated attempts. These clients have not been seen actively for over 1 year and have made no attempts to pay. We will also still attempt debt set off program with the state but write them off until the client returns for any future service at which time the debt will be reapplied to their account.

 

The commissioners unanimously voted to approved the list of bad debts clients provided. Lists did not include clients names to protect their identity and comply with HIPPA regulations. The total written off was $3,793.13 (3254.16 from the dental program and remainder from family planning , primary care and adult health. This amount is a much smaller than usual amount due to our rural health grant helping with the uninsured clients.

 

Let me know if you need any other information,
