What is SFIS? Standard Financial Information Structure (SFIS) A comprehensive, standard “business language” that defines financial information that supports all DoD-wide budget, cost/performance management, and external reporting requirements SFIS is NOT an IT system http://www.defenselink.mil/dbt/sfis_resources.html
Financial Statements FSRE Structure Challenges TMA clear chain of command and organizational structure MERHCF actuarial and accounting information SMA components have two lines of authority (command and control, and finance business rules) vs dollar flow. Face issues related to MILDEP priorities vs fund flow priorities: financial impact, accounting system, financial business rules
Financial Statements FSRE Structure Challenges (continued) Solution: single accounting system with common business rules and chain of command simplifies, streamlines the financial statement, financial reporting, financial performance reporting

Financial Metrics Monthly Reporting, History and Measures Accounts Receivable (A/R) Public debt > 30 days at Sep 30, 2009 (Red Metric) SMA-Army ($22.5 million) A/R Intragovernmental Debt > 30 days at Sep 30, 2009 (Red Metric) SMA-Army ($17.7 million) SMA Navy ($17.3 million) SMA A/R increased dramatically in 1st Qtr FY 2010 when recording begins OSD Comptroller – Robert Hale gets a monthly Dashboard Report showing how DoD is doing regarding financial reporting One of the items tracked is Accounts Receivable (A/R) Public Debt – Non-Federal Government Entities who owe us money. Includes third party insurance companies and individuals (e.g., DoDDS school teachers, Civilian Emergencies) Medical Departments were NOT reporting Medical A/R until the start of this FY (i.e., FY 2010)
DoD References DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR), Volume 4, Chapter 3, “Receivables” dated November 2009 DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR), Volume 6B, Chapter 10, “Notes to Financial Statements” dated September 2008 Located at OSD (Comptroller) Web site: http://www.defenselink.mil/comptroller/fmr/ FMR has 20 volumes – It’s our FINANCIAL BIBLE Sections of it are continually being updated so go to the OSD (Comptroller) website to find the latest version Looking at having the Receivables section revised to treatment Medical A/R differently
Accounts Receivable (A/R) Two types of A/R in governmental accounting Intra-governmental (e.g., Coast Guard, VA) Expect to get paid 100% of Billed Amount Disputes regarding claims against other federal agencies (e.g., Coast Guard, VA) are to be resolved per Code of Federal Regulations 4 CFR 101 Public (civilian emergencies, TPC) Need to establish an allowance for bad debt MTFs may be reporting collections to higher headquarters but what data is reported regarding outstanding and aged (e.g., >30 days, >120 days) Medical A/R? Just a quick review of the two types of A/R and how they are treated differently when it comes to establishing Allowances for Bad Debt. Expect to have VA and Coast Guard to Pay us in Full – 100%
Third Party Collections Total Third Party Collections (TPC) Billings were in FY 2009 were $496.0 million Total TPC Collections in FY 2009 were $240.7 million How much is really being written off as uncollectible, and how much is still on the books as Medical A/R? What are the sources of Medical A/R? Collected almost $2.5 Billion ($2.443.2 Billion) since FY 1987
Medical Services Account (MSA) Combination of both Intra-governmental A/R (e.g., Coast Guard, VA) and Public A/R (e.g., civilian emergencies) Total MSA amount collected for medical care provided in MTFs for FY 2009 was $151 million
Medical Affirmative Claims (MAC) Medical Affirmative Claims (MAC) A/R is all Public A/R (e.g., insurance companies, liable individuals) Total amount collected for medical care provided in MTFs for FY 2009 was $15 million
Doubtful Accounts & Write-offs FMR guidance states: The accounting office shall establish an allowance for doubtful debt, which shall provide for reducing gross receivables by the amount of the estimated loss to their net realizable value A write-off occurs when an agency official determines, after using all appropriate collection tools, that is it more than 50% likely that a debt is uncollectible
Service Financial Statements A/R are reported on the annual audited financial statements Service Financial Statements located at OSD(Comptroller) Web site: http://www.dod.mil/comptroller/cfs/fy2009.html
Accounts Receivable - Policy Accounts Receivable Policy Memorandum (with attachment) Policy signed on May 8, 2008 Purpose Establish policy for the recognition (“as rendered”), classification, recording, aging, collection, disposition and reporting of accounts receivable in order to improve the accuracy of financial statements Compliance with DoD’s Financial Management Regulation (FMR) and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Policy signed back in 2008. Delays encountered in implementing it due to IT system limitations. 1st quarter FY 2010 (current FY) is when this started being implemented across all three Services.
Accounts Receivable – Policy (con’t) Implementation Date 1 October 2009 (for FY 2010 reporting purposes) Title 10 United States Code, Chapter 55, Section 1095 This policy does not modify the ability of the Services to use monies collected in the fiscal year collected 10 U.S.C. 1095(g) reads as follows: "Amounts collected under this section from a third-party payer or under any other provision of law from any other payer for health care services provided at or through a facility of the uniformed services shall be credited to the appropriation supporting the maintenance and operation of the facility and shall not be taken into consideration in establishing the operating budget of the facility." Bottom Line – Money collected stays with the MTF. It is not scooped up and taken away by Higher Headquarters.
Financial Metrics - SMA Implementation of Medical A/R Policy in 1st Quarter of FY 2010 had a large impact Accounts Receivable (A/R) Public Debt > 30 days at July 31, 2010 (Red Metric) SMA-Army ($213.9 million), SMA-Navy ($5.6 million) SMA-Air Force ($ 78.0 million) Total reported Medical A/R was $527.9 million Army reported $22.5 million of Medical A/R as of 30 Sep 2009/end of FY 2009 Navy & Air Force reported ZERO DOLLARS for Medical A/R Suddenly, we found over ½ billion dollars of assets
Financial Metrics -TMA Implementation of MARR A/R in 4th Quarter of FY 2009 had a large impact Accounts Receivable (A/R) Public debt > 30 days at Mar 31, 2010 (Red Metric) TMA-CRM ($175.0 million) Army reported $22.5 million of Medical A/R as of 30 Sep 2009/end of FY 2009 Navy & Air Force reported ZERO DOLLARS for Medical A/R Suddenly, we found over ½ billion dollars of assets
Management of Accounts Receivable Revenue Recognition All Defense Health Program (DHP) funded activities will recognize and record a receivable when it establishes a claim based on goods or services provided (“as rendered”) Financial statements have two A/R classifications: Intragovernmental and Nonfederal (public) Debt Management (Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA) Working with OUSD(C) to potentially add language to the FMR to better clarify medical debt and when to “turn-it over” to DFAS Can’t bill for the healthcare services until the encounter/admission is coded/DRG assigned. Why does it take so long to code/assign a DRG to a healthcare encounter when we having reimbursement riding on it 3% of Non-Active Duty Admissions are Reimbursable
Management of Accounts Receivable (continued) Proprietary vs. Budgetary Recommended accounting entries are: Debit USSGL 1310 (Accounts Receivable) and credit USSGL 6790 (Other Expenses Not Requiring Budgetary Resources) This will ensure a correct financial statement entry without the potential for a appropriation violation and maintain USC 1095 flexibility
Accounts Receivable - Revenue Recognition All Defense Health Program (DHP) funded activities will recognize and record a receivable when it establishes a claim based on goods or services provided (“as rendered”) There are two classifications of accounts receivables: Intragovernmental Nonfederal
Accounts Receivable - Going Forward Accuracy in reporting Accounts receivable reports will be better than what we have now Reports will include aging data Visibility of all accounts (including TPC accounts receivable older than prior year 2) Will become more accurate as procedures, systems and data collection become more standardized Central reporting will improve as funded systems change request have been submitted to: “Push” accounts receivable data from TPOCS and CHCS/AHLTA (both MSA and inpatient TPC), and Calculate interest in both MSA and TPOCS Medical A/R is NOT LIKE WINE OR CHEESE – They do NOT get better with age
Accounts Receivable - Going Forward Do not want to impact ability for billing contractors to develop and/or use their own billing management system Possibility of accounts marked as transferred in MSA, but documentation never forwarded to the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) Support Center Some joint ventures are generating Department of Veterans Affairs bills on Excel spread sheets Air Force has TPC being performed by Two (2) civilian companies
Accounting System – Going Forward SMA Audit Committee will work with the SMA – Army, SMA – Navy, and SMA – Air Force to establish procedures for recording AR Provide your UBO Service Manager and Service RM monthly AR data in the following categories: Intragovernmental MSA, TPOCS, Unbilled, changes to Allowance Nonfederal
