Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
    PART I, LINE 7: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED FOR THE CHARITY CARE SEGMENT OF THE LINE 7 TABLE WAS THE IRS WORKSHEET 1 "CHARITY CARE AT COSTS" IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE CARRIED OVER FROM THE IRS WORKSHEET 2 AS A BASIS TO ESTIMATE EXPENSES AND WAS APPLIED TO THE GROSS PATIENT CHARITY CARE CHARGES RECORDED IN 2010. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED FOR THE UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID SEGMENT OF THE LINE 7 TABLE WERE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO EXTRACTED FROM THE MEDICAID COST REPORT DATA. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED FOR "OTHER BENEFITS" SEGMENT OF THE LINE 7 TABLE WERE CALCULATED USING A COMBINATION OF DIRECT COSTS AND OUR COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM, WHICH TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ALL PATIENT TYPES AND SEGMENTS.
    PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 5860067.
  PART I, LINE 3C: NOT APPLICABLE
  PART I, LINE 6A: NOT APPLICABLE
  PART I, LINE 7G NOT APPLICABLE
    PART II: IN 2010, FISHER-TITUS'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES AND BENEFITS PROVIDED $15 MILLION TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT IMPACTED THE OVERALL HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR RESIDENTS. WHILE HOSPITAL-BASED MEDICAL SERVICES ARE THE MOST OBVIOUS WAY WE HELP, FTMC FULFILLS THE HEALTH-CARE NEEDS OF OUR AREA WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENINGS, EDUCATION CLASSES, PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND SUPPORT OF HEALTH-RELATED ACTIVITES. FTMC EMPLOYEES SERVE ON COMMUNITY AND CIVIC BOARDS, HEALTH-ORIENTED ORGANIZATONS, AND ARE INVOLVED IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. FTMC ALSO WORKS WITH SCHOOLS, WORK SITES, AND SAFETY NET PROVIDERS TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND PREVENT DISEASE. FISHER-TITUS IS A LEADER IN ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, HAVING EARNED NUMEROUS STATE AND NATIONAL AWARDS.
    PART III, LINE 4: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED FOR COMPLETING THE SCHEDULE H PART III, LINE 2 WAS THE IRS WORKSHEET A "ESTIMATED BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST)" IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE CARRIED OVER FROM IRS WORKSHEET 2 "RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES" AS A BASIS TO ESTIMATE EXPENSE AND WAS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE RECORDED IN 2010.
CHARITY IN BAD DEBT EXPENSE: PART III, LINE 3 AS A TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL, WE MUST PROVIDE NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT, PATIENT CARE IS PROVIDED TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR CARE. MAKING QUALITY PATIENT CARE AVAILABLE TO ALL IN OUR COMMUNITY, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ECONOMIC MEANS, QUALIFIES BAD DEBTS AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE IDENTIFICATION OF PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE IS SOLELY BASED ON THE COOPERATION OF THE PATIENT TO PROVIDE THE ORGANIZATION ENOUGH FAMILY AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILTY TO MATCH OUR PROGRAMS. HISTORICALLY, IN ADDITION TO THE INTERNALLY IDENTIFIED CHARITY, 13-15% OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCES TURNED TO COLLECTION WERE SUBSEQUENTLY IDENTIFIED BY THE AGENCY AS CHARITY AND RETURNED. THIS CHARITY IS RECORDED ONLY WHEN IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH VERIFICATION OF INABILITY TO PAY. WE DO BELIEVE THERE IS A SECOND, RELATIVELY EQUAL SEGMENT OF THE BAD DEBT THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY. PATIENTS WITH POOR CREDIT RATINGS AND MULTIPLE CREDITORS MAKING COLLECTION EFFORT FINDS LITTLE VALUE IN COMPLETING THE CHARITY APPLCIATION PROCESS TO ONLY ELIMINATE ONE CREDITOR AND HAVE NO IMPROVEMENT TO THEIR FINANCIAL STATUS.WE ESTIMATE THAT UNDER THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS UNIDENTIFIED CHARITY IN BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS ESTIMATED TO BE AN ADDITIONAL $864,301 OR 30% OF BAD DEBT AT COST. SINCE THIS CALCUALTION IS ON AN ACCRUAL BASIS, WE BELEIVE ESTIMATING 15% FOR CHARITY TO BE IDENTIFIED IN FUTURE YEARS AND AN ADDITIONAL 15% FOR BALANCES NEVER IDENTIFIED AS CHARITY IS A VERY REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THIS CHARITY CARE VALUE.
FOOTNOTE "ALLOWANCES FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS": PART III, LINE 4 THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN THE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON SPECIFIC ACCOUNTS, HISTORICAL WRITE OFF EXPERIENCE AND CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH THE MOST UP TO DATE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES.
  PART III, LINE 8: FISHER-TITUS MEDICAL CENTER'S MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO EXTRACTED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DATA. THE MEDICAL CENTER BELIEVES THAT ALL OF THE 6.4 MILLION DOLLAR SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, BECAUSE OUR MISSION IS TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE DO NOT LIMIT THE CARE AVAILABLE TO ANY PATIENTS, INCLUDING THOSE COVERED BY MEDICARE. THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY. THIS YEAR, MEDICARE ACCOUNTED FOR 44% OF HOSPITAL REVENUES AND THESE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES WERE PROVIDED CARE IN SPITE OF THIS SHORTFALL. CARING FOR THE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES RELIEVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE TRUE COST FOR THEIR CARE AS THESE PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAVE LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. TAX EXEMPT HOSPITALS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY.
  PART III, LINE 9B THE CHARITY POLICY IS A SUBSET OF THE OVERALL COLLLECTION POLICY. WHEN PATIENTS ARE IDENTIFIED AS QUALIFYING FOR ANY OF THE CHARITY CATEGORIES WE SEARCH ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES AND PACKAGE THEM WITH THE APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, CHARITY INFORMATION IS SHARED WITH OUR RELATED ORGANIZATIONS AND FORMS THE BASIS FOR THEIR CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS. IN ADDITON, WITH PATIENT APPROVAL, WE MAY CONTACT LOCAL PHYSICIAN PRACTICES WITH THE INFORMATION AS MANY WILL ADJUST THEIR BALANCES BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.
    PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENTS ARE INTERVIEWED AFTER REGISTRATION TO ASSIST THEM IN DETERMINING EACH PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. FTMC HAS BILINGUAL SIGNAGE POSTED IN THE ADMITTING/REGISTRATION AREAS, BILLING OFFICE AND FINANCIAL COUNSELING OFFICES, AND IN THE INPATIENT GUIDES IN ALL PATIENT ROOMS. THE FTMC WEBSITE HAS A SECTION ABOUT THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND CONTRACT INFORMATION. A MESSAGE ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CHARITY CARE ALSO IS INCLUDED ON THE BILLS THAT ARE SENT TO THE PATIENTS. MANY MATERIALS ARE BILINGUAL AND INTERPRETATION SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. THE MEDICAL CENTER SUPPORTS AN OUTSIDE COUNSELOR DEDICATED TO HELPING PATIENTS BECOME QUALIFIED FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. THEY ALSO REFER PATIENTS WHO DON'T QUALIFY FOR THOSE PROGRAMS TO OUR FTMC FINANCIAL COUNSELORS FOR ASSISTANCE WITH H.C.A.P., FISHER-TITUS CHARITY AND FISHER-TITUS COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. OUR SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT REGULARLY REFERS PATIENTS IN NEED TO OUR FINANCIAL COUNSELORS FOR ASSISTANCE. WE ALSO TAKE REFERRALS FROM THE LOCAL COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES, VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIMES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, ETC. FTMC IS VERY PROACTIVE IN TAKING THE MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY. BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE AT COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS HELD IN THE HOSPITAL AND AT OUTSIDE COMMUNITY EVENTS. FTMC COMMUNICATES THE INFORMATION ABOUT CHARITY CARE PROGRAMS THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER AND LOCAL NEWS MEDIA.
    PART VI, LINE 4: THE FISHER-TITUS MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDED SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS OF HURON, ERIE, AND THE ADJACENT COUNTIES OF SANDUSKY, CRAWFORD, LORAIN, AND ASHLAND. THE PRIMARY AREA IS THE GREATER HURON COUNTY AREA IN NORTH CENTRAL OHIO, WHICH IS HOME TO OVER 62,000 RESIDENTS. FTMC'S 50 ACRE CAMPUS IS IN THE COUNTY SEAT OF NORWALK, WHICH IS THE LARGEST CITY IN THE COUNTY WITH 17,000 RESIDENTS. FTMC HAS NUMEROUS MEDICAL OFFICES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY IN SMALLER CITIES TO PROVIDE EASIER ACCESS TO PHYSICIANS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE COUNTY IS HOME TO SEVERAL LARGE MANUFACTURERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED MAJOR JOB LOSSES OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS. HURON COUNTY HAD THE TENTH HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN OHIO IN 2010 WITH AN ANNUAL AVERAGE OF 13.5%. THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS ARE 65 AND OLDER. 92% OF THE RESIDENTS ARE CAUCASIAN WITH A GROWING HISPANIC POPULATION OF 5.6% THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 2010 WAS $46,542 WITH 12.9% OF THE FAMILIES LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL AND 26.3% LIVING BELOW 200% OF THE POVERTY RATE. THE OVERALL TRENDS INDICATE A DECLINE IN EMPLOYMENT-BASED MEDICAL INSURANCE AND INCREASING UNINSURED AND RELIANCE ON GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.
    PART VI, LINE 6: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPOSED OF AREA RESIDENTS INCLUDING BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, PHYSICIANS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS. THESE VOLUNTEERS GIVE COUNTLESS HOURS OF SERVICE TO THE MEDICAL CENTER IN THEIR OVERSIGHT ROLE. THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, IN FUNDRAISING, AND IN GENERAL STEWARDHSIP. FTMC'S MEDICAL STAFF IS OPEN AND PRIVILEGES ARE GRANTED TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS WHO APPLY AND MEET THE STANDARDS OF THE MEDICAL CENTER PRIVILEGING PROCESS. THE MEDICAL CENTER UTILIZES SURPLUS FUNDS TO MAINTAIN ACCESS TO PATIENT SERVICES AND TO EXPAND ACCESS POINTS OF CARE TO PATIENTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:1. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE CLASSES AND INFORMATION ON TOBACCO CESSATION, HEALTHY AGINING, CHILDBIRTH, INFANT CARE, EARLY PREGNANCY AND MORE2. FREE BLOOD PRESSURE AND DIABETES SCREENINGS, AND MAMMOGRAMS TO QUALIFYING INDIVIDUALS, FREE OR LOW-COST SCREENINGS FOR BREAST, PROSTATE, SKIN AND COLORECTAL CANCERS ANS WELL AS OSTEOPOROSIS ASSESSMENTS.
  PART VI, LINE 2 FISHER-TITUS SPONSORED AND COLLABORATED WITH THE HURON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND OTHER HEALTH-RELATED ORGANIZATONS (CALLED HURON COUNTY HEALTH PARTNERS) TO DEVELOP AND FUND THE HURON COUNTY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN 2007. THE HURON COUNTY HEALTH PARTNERS AND FISHER-TITUS USED THE RESULTS TO ADDRESS AND MONITOR HEALTH PRIORITIES IN THE COUNTY. FTMC ALSO USES THIS INFORMATION TO ADD AND EXPAND SERVICES AND TO RECRUIT PHYSICIANS TO MEET THE THEN IDENTIFIED MEDICAL NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. FROM THESE PRIORITIES, FTMC HAS DEVELOPED NUMEROUS PROGRAMS TARGETING THE HURON COUNTY'S HIGH RATE OF OBESITY, DIABETES AND CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES. PROGRAMS INCLUDED DIABETES SCREENINGS AT HISPANIC HEALTH FAIRS AND AT SALVATION ARMY SOUP KITCHENS, NUTRITION AND FITNESS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN, AND A COUNTY-WIDE WALKING PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AND LOCAL BUSINESS.
