[…] Patient revenue and income from supplemental funds both dropped while the district incurred those costs; additionally, HCCA failed to collect funds from patients who sought the hospital’s services, likely in part because the company was in arrears to its billing partner. […]

In reply to Good things take time.

Very good comment. I believe also that “bigger” doesn’t always translate into “better” if there isn’t “quality care”. With out quality care all the added wings, rooms and beds mean nothing.

As much as the board is looking forward to the hospital opening soon, and as much as I’m sure the employees look forward to a reopening some have expressed that since it appears it will take longer through no ones fault , at least let them spend the holidays with their families a week one way or the other is not going to make a huge difference at this juncture. Personally as a community member I wouldn’t want the hospital reopened until everything is in perfect condition and order, there is only one chance to make a first impression with a public that still has a sour taste in its mouth from the previous occupants. Please board remember it’s quality this community deserves not just a quick start date that compromises its goals, you have accomplished much and have wisely chosen a group of managers to achieve those goals let them do their jobs. I would prefer to again use our hospital with competent staff and doctors in place this time around, again you have one chance to make a good impression, please don’t squander that opportunity.

No wonder in the July 2017 financials it showed 89 million in receivables. If you don’t pay the billing company, they won’t collect. It was always my suspicion that was the case. If he had paid the outsourced group, they would have pulled the money in and the bills would have been paid.

What other damage has Benzeevi AND Alan Germany done to sabotage our hospital?

Has anyone ever picked up a rock and lots of little bugs crawl out? That’s I compare the horrible, but not surprising, problems the Board keeps finding. Each time they uncover a problem, a bunch of other issues come crawling out.

Cheers and my sincere thanks to our Board members and new administration for working tirelessly to tackle the problems head on and move our community forward to bringing back quality health care to the district.

Paragraph 3 actually states TRMC cannot solicit Navigant employees for employment. Navigant employees can seek employment with the Hospital on their own. Many Navigant employees have already turned in applications as their last day was November 30 with Navigant.

Navigant also took over the registration department at time of outsourcing billing. Accourding to the letter above, these employees can not be hired by Tulare for 12 mos. Read Letter dated Sept 21, 2017 paragraph 3.

An inch a day BUT in the right direction.
And without opacity.
