Commissioners approve $4.37 million accounts payable warrant; Cigna claims and Glendale billing noted

The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners approved the accounts payable warrant for June 26, 2025, totaling $4,369,523.39.

Commissioners discussed components that contributed to the large warrant total. Finance staff and commissioners identified a large Cigna health-claims bill for May and a payment to Glendale as the primary drivers of the high amount. Staff said May billing had not been fully reviewed yet and that reconciliation of Glendale’s invoices is ongoing; they reported conversations among finance staff and department contacts about reviewing May and June billings.

Finance staff said the county expects some stop‑loss reimbursements related to large health claims, but those reimbursements are processed after claims are settled and would appear in later accounting. Commissioners asked about reconciliation status and were told review of May invoices was pending, while April and earlier had been reviewed and approved.

The motion to approve the remainder of the consent agenda, including the AP warrant, carried after routine discussion and recorded yes votes by commissioners present.
