- 1. Dashboard: Bill Thompson of Milliman presented a high-level
review of costs, claims, expenses, trend analyses, and key service category
metrics. The numbers of primary care and specialist visits are becoming
closer aligned. Emergency room utilization drill down reporting continues
to be a work in progress. A closer examination of the credentialing of
urgent care centers versus emergency rooms is needed. Overall, financial
projections continue to be in line with budgetary expectations for FY 2013.
2. Financial Analysis: Rae-Ellen Roy presented the budget review
as of October 15, 2012. Assuming there are no service changes and we
are allotted 100% of the appropriated funds, we are on track to end the year
positively.
