All in Favor – Motion Passes

 Claims Experience Report YTD -see attached report Discussion regarding no-shows with Coalition Health Center (CHC). If the district decides to pass the no-show fee on to the participant, the account would be flagged at CHC and when they next make an appointment/walk-in, they would pay at that time. If it’s a no-show due to a medical emergency, the charge could be waived. The participant would call the CHC or FNSBSD to get the fee waived. If implementing this, there will be some lead-time letting participants know of the change.
