HOUSINGHAVING THE FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES INVOLVED IN REHABILITATION AFTER A CATASTROPHIC INJURY IS IMPERATIVE TO THE SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO COMMUNITY, HOME, WORK AND/OR SCHOOL. SHEPHERD CENTER OFFERS COMPLIMENTARY HOUSING FOR 30 DAYS FOR FAMILIES WHO TRAVEL MORE THAN 60 MILES FROM ATLANTA TO GET TO SHEPHERD CENTER. THIS SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL AND APPRECIATED BY FAMILIES AS IT ENABLES THEM TO FOCUS ON THEIR LOVED ONE GETTING BETTER AND NOT THE FINANCIAL BURDENS AND STRESS THAT COMES WITH MOVING FROM HOME FOR CARE. COMPLIMENTARY HOUSING IS ALSO OFFERED FOR DAY PROGRAM PATIENTS AS A WAY TO EXPERIENCE WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED IN THE INPATIENT SETTING AND PUT IT TO WORK IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. THE HOUSING PROGRAM HELPS ALLEVIATE STRESS AND UNCERTAINTY AS PATIENTS TRANSITION BACK TO THEIR HOME AND COMMUNITY. IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A PEER SUPPORT COMMUNITY FOR MILITARY PATIENTS, HOUSING IS PROVIDED AT BISCAYNE PLACE, AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH WITHIN TWO MILES OF SHEPHERD CENTER. MOST EVERY FAMILY MEMBER THAT STAYS IN THE WOODRUFF FAMILY RESIDENCE CENTER HAS SHARED THAT, BY HAVING HOUSING AVAILABLE TO THEM, SHEPHERD CENTER HAS ALLEVIATED THE STRESS AND WORRY OF TRYING TO FIND AND PAY FOR A PLACE TO STAY. PLUS, THEY ARE SO CLOSE TO THEIR LOVED ONES AT THE HOSPITAL, IT GIVES THEM A SENSE OF SECURITY AND CONVENIENCE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD OTHERWISE. INJURY PREVENTIONINJURY PREVENTION AT SHEPHERD CENTER IS A SERIOUS EFFORT TO PREVENT BRAIN, SPINAL CORD AND OTHER TRAUMATIC INJURIES THROUGH THE EDUCATION OF INDIVIDUALS (PRE-K THROUGH COLLEGE STUDENTS), COMMUNITY LEADERS AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO MAKE YOUNG PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF DIVING HEAD FIRST INTO SHALLOW WATERS, RIDING WITHOUT A HELMET AND DRIVING WITHOUT SEATBELTS. LAST YEAR, NEW SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT AND OUTREACH EDUCATION WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH THE CREATION OF THE YIPES!! PROGRAM. YIPES!! STANDS FOR YOUTH AND INJURY PREVENTION EDUCATION AT SHEPHERD.

SHEPHERD CENTER'S THINK FIRST CHAPTER HAS ASSISTED IN TRAINING TWO NEW THINK FIRST CHAPTERS IN GEORGIA (DALTON AND ATLANTA), AS WELL AS TRAINING FIVE NEW CHAPTERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA (AIKEN, FLORENCE, GREENVILLE, COLUMBIA, AND HORRY COUNTY).
		PART III, LINE 4: AS STATED IN THE FOOTNOTES OF SHEPHERD CENTER'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THE CENTER PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. BECAUSE THE CENTER DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS NET REVENUE OR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.THE CENTER MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THESE RECORDS INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOREGONE FOR SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY AND THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF THOSE SERVICES AND SUPPLIES. THE AMOUNTS OF CHARGES FOREGONE, BASED ON ESTABLISHED RATES, AND ESTIMATED COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED TO PROVIDE CHARITY CARE IN FY 2011 WERE $7,969,687 AND $3,808,534, RESPECTIVELY, RESULTING IN A 47.79% COST FACTOR. THIS COST FACTOR WAS APPLIED TO GROSS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $1,577,587 TO GET THE AMOUNT ON PART III, LINE TWO.
		PART III, LINE 9B: ACCORDING TO SHEPHERD CENTER'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY, ALL PATIENTS ARE ASKED TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL SCREENING AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION. IF A PATIENT IS APPROVED FOR ASSISTANCE BASED ON THE FINANCIAL DATA SUPPLIED, ANY PATIENT BALANCES WILL BE APPLIED TO A CHARITY ALLOWANCE BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS POLICY.
		PART VI, LINE 2: SHEPHERD CENTER'S MISSION IS TO HELP PEOPLE WITH A TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DISABILITY CAUSED BY INJURY OR DISEASE REBUILD THEIR LIVES WITH HOPE, INDEPENDENCE AND DIGNITY, ADVOCATING FOR THEIR FULL INCLUSION IN ALL ASPECTS OF COMMUNITY LIFE WHILE PROMOTING SAFETY AND INJURY PREVENTION. SHEPHERD CENTER IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE RESOURCES AND TOOLS OUR PATIENTS NEED TO FACILITATE THE SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION BACK TO LIFE AND COMMUNITY AFTER A CATASTROPHIC INJURY.FROM DAY ONE, SHEPHERD CENTER HAS FOCUSED ON PATIENT-CENTERED CARE AND HAS DEVELOPED A CONTINUUM THAT IS UNIQUE IN THE SETTING OF AN ACUTE CARE, REHABILITATION HOSPITAL. BECAUSE OF THE VALUE-ADDED PROGRAMS OFFERED AT SHEPHERD CENTER, OUR PATIENTS HAVE THE RESOURCES TO RE-LEARN ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING AND ACHIEVE THE GOALS THEY SET FOR THEMSELVES POST-INJURY. THOSE GOALS INCLUDE RETURNING TO HOME, SCHOOL AND/OR WORK. THEY ALSO INCLUDE "GETTING THEIR LIFE BACK" IN REGARD TO REGAINING THE ABILITY TO ENJOY LIFE THROUGH SOCIAL EVENTS, HOBBIES, AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS PROVIDING FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILY. THE VALUE-ADDED PROGRAMS AID IN REGAINING ONE'S LIFE AND REBUILDING THEIR HOPE, BUT ARE OFTEN NOT REIMBURSED BY INSURANCE OR MEDICARE/MEDICAID. THEY ARE ESSENTIAL IN A PATIENT'S SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY. SHEPHERD CENTER BELIEVES THESE PROGRAMS DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE MUCH GREATER THAN AVERAGE CLINICAL OUTCOMES ACHIEVED BY OUR PATIENTS. SHEPHERD CENTER'S RETURN TO HOME AND COMMUNITY RATES FOR SPINAL CORD INJURY PATIENT ARE 91 PERCENT AS COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 73 PERCENT AND FOR BRAIN INJURY PATIENTS 97 PERCENT AS COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 68 PERCENT. SHEPHERD CENTER'S CLINICAL OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED THREE STRAIGHT YEARS AS A TOP 10 REHABILITATION HOSPITAL BY U.S. WORLD & NEWS REPORT.
		PART VI, LINE 3: IT IS SHEPHERD CENTER'S (SC) POLICY TO EXTEND ITS SERVICES TO AS MANY PATIENTS AS IT CAN WITHIN THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE. THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE AT SC WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.WHEN PATIENTS ARE SCHEDULED OR AN ADMISSION REFERRAL IS MADE, APPROPRIATE FINANCIAL SCREENING IS PROVIDED. THE FIRST STEP OF THIS SCREENING WILL INCLUDE WHETHER THIRD PARTY PAYER RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE TO COVER THE COST OF CARE FOR THE INPATIENT OR DAY PATIENT CHARGES IN FULL. IF THERE ARE NO THIRD PARTY PAYER RESOURCES AVAILABLE, OR THERE IS EXPECTED TO BE PATIENT LIABILITY BALANCES DUE OVER INSURANCE, THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL COMPLETE A 'PRE-SCREENING' USING THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SCREENING FORM. IF FINANCIAL RESOURCES DO NOT APPEAR TO BE AVAILABLE AND THE PATIENT LIABILITY IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED $5,000, THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR WILL BE ASKED TO COMPLETE A 'PATIENT FINANCIAL EVALUATION' FORM TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT WILL FURTHER ASSIST IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY ASSISTANCE. THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION IN FULL AND PROVIDE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE TO SUBSTANTIATE INCOME. MINIMUM SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR INCOME WOULD INCLUDE:-PAY STUBS REPRESENTING CURRENT INCOME OF HOUSEHOLD.-ANYTHING THAT PROVIDES PROOF OF INCOME, I.E., W2S, PRIOR YEAR INCOME TAX FORMS, LETTERS FROM EMPLOYERS ETC. -IF NO INCOME, LETTER FROM PERSON PROVIDING ROOM & BOARD TO PATIENT IS REQUIRED.ONCE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FORM IS COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL REVIEW TO ASSURE THAT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION IS ATTACHED, PROVIDE ALL THE CALCULATIONS REQUIRED, AND PROVIDE A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF ELIGIBILITY. ELIGIBILITY WILL BE BASED ON THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY SHEPHERD CENTER AS FOLLOWS:A.CURRENT INCOME MUST NOT EXCEED 250% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. B.IF INCOME EXCEEDS 250% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE REQUIRED FROM THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR TO DETERMINE IF ASSISTANCE CAN BE GRANTED BASED ON A 'MEDICALLY NEEDY' SITUATION RESULTING FROM THE CATASTROPHIC EVENT NECESSITATING ADMISSION TO SHEPHERD CENTER.IF THE PATIENT STILL DOES NOT MEET CRITERIA, THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL ESTABLISH DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THE EXPECTED LENGTH OF STAY AND WILL OFFER THE PATIENT PAYMENT OPTIONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (SEE ALSO FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS POLICY FOR SELF PAY PATIENTS)-BANK LOAN-VISA/MASTERCARD/DISCOVER/AMERICAN EXPRESS-NINETY-(90) DAY PAYMENT PLAN, AS DETAILED IN THE CREDIT & COLLECTIONS POLICY IF THE PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT IS TO APPROVE THE PATIENT FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL PRESENT THE PACKET TO THE MANAGER OF PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES FOR REVIEW AND QUALIFICATION APPROVAL. IN ADDITION, THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR WILL SIGN TO APPROVE THAT USE OF FUNDS MEET CLINICAL APPROPRIATENESS FOR THEIR AREA. FOR INPATIENTS AND DAY PATIENTS, THE PATIENT WILL NEED TO MEET ASSET REQUIREMENTS. EXPECTATION WOULD BE THAT ASSETS OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED BELOW AND DISPOSABLE INCOME AFTER REASONABLE LIVING EXPENSES WOULD BE USED TO SATISFY A PORTION OR ALL OF THE FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE PATIENT'S CARE. ASSETS THAT MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM CONSIDERATION ARE:-PATIENT'S HOME WITH NO MORE THAN 25% OR $25,000 EQUITY, WHICHEVER IS LESS. THE REQUIREMENTS TO USE HOME EQUITY CAN BE WAIVED IF THE PATIENT IS UNABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON ADDITIONAL DEBT.-IF THE PATIENT HAS APPLIED FOR GEORGIA MEDICAID, THE FAP FORM SHOULD BE COMPLETED AND IF SUCH CHARGES ARE ULTIMATELY NOT COVERED OR UNCOLLECTIBLE THE PATIENT IS DEEMED ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALL FINANCIAL AND OTHER MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES ARE REVIEWED BY THE MANAGER OF PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES WHO THEN MAKES THE FINAL DECISION REGARDING ELIGIBILITY. IF ASSISTANCE IS NOT APPROVED THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL COORDINATE THE NOTIFICATION TO THE PATIENT. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED AS LISTED ABOVE AND BASED ON THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS POLICY. IF APPROVED FOR FULL ASSISTANCE OR ASSISTANCE FOR PATIENT LIABILITY OVER INSURANCE AMOUNTS, THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL NOTIFY THE PATIENT. THE COVERED AMOUNT WILL BE WRITTEN OFF PURSUANT TO ESTABLISHED POLICY AFTER DISCHARGE OR INSURANCE IS FINALIZED.

THESE SERVICES INCLUDE THE FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE AS A PATIENT AND EXTEND BACK TO THE PATIENT'S COMMUNITY. BECAUSE OF THE UNDERSERVED NATURE OF THIS PATIENT POPULATION, SHEPHERD CENTER CONTINUES TO BE A RESOURCE FOR OUR PATIENTS THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE. SHEPHERD CENTER'S COMMUNITY INCLUDES CURRENT PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY, AS WELL AS FORMER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY. SHEPHERD CENTER ALSO TAKES A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN EDUCATING HEALTH-CARE PROFESSIONALS (PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND THERAPISTS) WHO ARE FOCUSED ON SPECIALTIES IN SPINAL CORD AND BRAIN INJURY REHABILITATION. SHEPHERD CENTER HAS ALWAYS SERVED AS A STRONG ADVOCATE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR ANYONE LIVING WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY.
