Is land an option for the BVIHSA to settle medical bills?
He further said, "We are in the process of trying to recoup the twenty or so million dollars that has been owed to this organisation for many, many years and we are doing it internally and we are doing it externally."
Operating externally is a bill collector that has been hired by the BVIHSA to assist in the collecting of outstanding debts. "This is not something strange, it is done all over the world. You are provided a service, you are expected to pay, you promise to pay but you don't pay then we come knocking on your door and ask you to pay. I don't see what's strange about that!" said Bishop Cline.
He said that the process of retrieving owed monies may have been had-hoc in the past but they are now operating in a more structured fashion. "Now it's more focused and it's more organized and we intend to collect money."
He said that the BVIHSA can take defaulters to court. This news site understands that the majority of the persons with the largest owed amounts are people who the BVIHSA knows have the means to honour their debts.
The light bulb went on around the issue of people being asked to sell their land to pay due bills to the BVIHSA when a follow-up question was asked of Financial Controller of the BVIHSA Ms Angeline Q. John if there is a form that questions in-debtors ownership of land and other worth.
Ms John said, "It's standard collection practice that you would seek that sort of information from anybody owing and this is the means by which you would be guided to establish a sort of payment plan, based on what their indisposable income is."
She acknowledged that some persons may have misunderstood that aspect of the process and may have thought that they were being put in a position or being asked to sell their land to honour their debt to the BVIHSA.
