TO FURTHER STREAMLINE AND AUTOMATE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS, SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONSIDER 100% OF THE PATIENT ACCOUNT AS CHARITY IF THE COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE SYSTEM (SEARCHAMERICA) INDICATES THAT THE PATIENT IS LIVING AT OR BELOW 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL). THIS PROCESS IS CALLED "PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY".
		PART I, LINE 6A: SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES IS PART OF THE INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM KNOWN AS SSM HEALTH CARE. IN AN EFFORT TO STRENGTHEN ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM, SSM HEALTH CARE PLANS FOR, MEASURES, AND COMMUNICATES IN AN ANNUAL REPORT CHARITY CARE PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO ARE LOW INCOME, THE UNPAID COSTS OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEED, IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH, OR REACH OUT TO LOW INCOME AND VULNERABLE PERSONS. SSM HEALTH CARE'S 2010 ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT FOR THE SYSTEM CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.SSMHC.COM.
		PART I, LINE 7: CHARITY CARE COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE COST OF CHARITY CARE IS CALCULATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION (CHA) GUIDELINES. A COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED USING THE IRS WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGE, WAS USED TO COMPUTE CHARITY CARE AT COST. THIS IS THE RATIO OF TOTAL ADJUSTED OPERATING EXPENSE TO TOTAL GROSS PATIENT REVENUE. THE GROSS REVENUE AMOUNT IS A GROSS AMOUNT - PRIOR TO CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND BAD DEBTS. BOTH GROSS REVENUE AND COST ARE BASED ON CHARGES AT DATE/TIME OF SERVICE.UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE COST OF UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID IS CALCULATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION (CHA) GUIDELINES. A COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED UTILIZING IRS WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGE, WAS USED TO COMPUTE UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID COSTS. THIS IS THE RATIO OF TOTAL ADJUSTED OPERATING EXPENSE TO TOTAL GROSS PATIENT REVENUE. THE GROSS REVENUE AMOUNT IS A GROSS AMOUNT - PRIOR TO CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND BAD DEBTS. BOTH GROSS REVENUE AND COST ARE BASED ON CHARGES AT DATE/TIME OF SERVICE. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE COSTS FOR THESE PROGRAMS WERE DERIVED FROM THE ACTUAL COSTS INCURRED IN THESE AREAS. THE EXPENDITURES ARE DETERMINED BASED ON ACTUAL INVOICES OR DOLLAR AMOUNTS SPENT AND CHARGED TO THESE DEPARTMENTS.HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE EXPENSES FOR HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION WERE TAKEN FROM THE DEPARTMENT'S INCOME AND EXPENSE STATEMENT, DERIVED FROM THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. AMOUNTS PAID FROM RESIDENT DEPARTMENTS WERE ALSO INCLUDED.RESEARCH COSTING METHODOLOGY: RESEARCH EXPENSES WERE TAKEN FROM THE INCOME AND EXPENSE STATEMENT FOR THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENTS, DERIVED FROM THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITY GROUPS COSTING METHODOLOGY: CONTRIBUTION EXPENDITURES ARE BASED ON ACTUAL INVOICES THAT WERE CAPTURED AND REPORTED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
		PART I, L7 COL(F): SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES HAD BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE AMOUNT OF $17,609,214 REPORTED ON PART IX LINE 24 OF THE FORM 990; HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGES IN THIS PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F.

		PART III, LINE 4: SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES IS PART OF THE SSM HEALTH CARE CONSOLIDATED AUDIT. THE FOOTNOTE THAT REFERENCES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE DECEMBER 31, 2010, CONSOLIDATED AUDIT IS AS FOLLOW:"IN LINE WITH ITS MISSION, SSMHC PROVIDES SERVICES TO PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR THOSE SERVICES. FOR SOME OF ITS PATIENT SERVICES, SSMHC RECEIVES NO PAYMENT OR PAYMENT THAT IS LESS THAN THE FULL COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES.SSMHC VOLUNTARILY PROVIDES FREE CARE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR ALL OR PART OF THEIR HEALTH CARE EXPENSES AS DETERMINED BY SSMHC'S CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BECAUSE SSMHC DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES.IN SOME CASES, SSMHC DOES NOT RECEIVE THE AMOUNT BILLED FOR PATIENT SERVICES EVEN THOUGH IT DID NOT RECEIVE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO DETERMINE IF THE PATIENTS MET THE CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BAD DEBTS EXPENSE IS THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES THAT SSMHC WILL NOT COLLECT."BAD DEBT COSTING METHODOLOGY: BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED IN THE 2010 ANNUAL LICENSING SURVEY OF MISSOURI HOSPITALS WAS USED, MULTIPLIED BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO USING IRS WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES.BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON LINE 2 FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010, WAS $18,308,151 AT CHARGES AND $8,419,728 AT COST.SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES DID NOT MAKE AN ESTIMATE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
		PART III, LINE 8: THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE ELIGIBLE PATIENTS IS GREATER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT THAT MEDICARE ALLOWS ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES CONSIDERS THIS SHORTFALL AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT NEGOTIATED AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENTS' ABILITY TO PAY. THE MEDICARE COSTS REPORTED ON LINE 6 WERE OBTAINED FROM THE 2010 MEDICARE COST REPORT.
		PART III, LINE 9B: SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES HAS ESTABLISHED WRITTEN CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURES. THE BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICIES AND PRACTICES REFLECT THE MISSION AND VALUES OF SSM HEALTH CARE, INCLUDING OUR SPECIAL CONCERN FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR AND VULNERABLE.

		PART VI, LINE 2: THE ANNUAL STRATEGIC, FINANCIAL, AND HUMAN RESOURCES PLANNING PROCESS HAS INCLUDED AN ASSESSMENT OF THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC AND MEASUREABLE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES' INITIATIVES. HEALTHY COMMUNITIES' INITIATIVES DEMONSTRATE THE LEADERSHIP ROLE THAT SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES IS TAKING IN IDENTIFYING, COMMUNICATING AND DEVELOPING RESPONSES TO HEALTH RELATED NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. AS OF JANUARY 2010, THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF SSM HEALTH CARE'S HEALTHY COMMUNITIES (HCIS) HAS BEEN ON ONE OF THE TOP-THREE CHRONIC DISEASES IN EACH ENTITY'S/NETWORK'S RESPECTIVE MARKET (E.G., CHF, DIABETES, ASTHMA) AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH, AMONG OTHER DATA SOURCES, COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, CONSUMER/PUBLIC HEALTH STUDIES AND STATE/LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT INFORMATION.COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, WHICH WE PURSUE AS A SYSTEM PRIMARILY THROUGH HCIS UNDERTAKEN AT THE ENTITY LEVEL, IS FUNDAMENTAL TO OUR MISSION, VALUES, AND VISION. OVER THE YEARS MANY PEOPLE HAVE BENEFITED FROM OUR HCIS AND MUCH GOOD HAS COME FROM THEM. IN AN EFFORT TO BEST RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS, HCIS WILL REFOCUS ITS EFFORTS TOWARD A NEW APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH, AS OUTLINED HERE.CHRONIC DISEASE IS RAMPANT THROUGHOUT THE U.S WHERE ROUGHLY HALF OF ALL ADULTS AND 10% OF CHILDREN/ADOLESCENTS LIVE WITH AT LEAST ONE CHRONIC DISEASE. OF THESE AN ESTIMATED 13 MILLION LACK HEALTH INSURANCE AND THEREBY HAVE POORER ACCESS TO PREVENTIVE AND PRIMARY CARE SERVICES THAN THEIR INSURED COUNTERPARTS AND EXPERIENCE WORSE HEALTH-RELATED OUTCOMES, INCLUDING PREMATURE DEATH.IN RESPONSE TO THIS GROWING NATIONAL HEALTH CRISIS, SYSTEM MANAGEMENT HAS SET THE EXPECTATION THAT ALL SSM OPERATING ENTITIES, WORKING INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY AS NETWORKS, IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, WILL DEVELOP HCIS FOCUSED ON THE CHRONIC DISEASE SELECTED THAT ADDRESSES THREE PILLARS THAT STRETCH ACROSS THE CARE CONTINUUM:- PREVENTION THROUGH COMMUNITY EDUCATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, LOCAL HEALTH AGENCIES, CHURCHES, CIVIC CENTERS, SCHOOLS, INSURANCE COMPANIES AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS.- ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE SERVICES AND NECESSARY MEDICATIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, LOCAL HEALTH AGENCIES AND CLINICS, EMPLOYED COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.- INPATIENT CARE INCLUDING PATIENT EDUCATION, COMPREHENSIVE DISCHARGE PLANNING, MEDICATION RECONCILIATION, COORDINATION OF CARE ACROSS SETTINGS AND POST-DISCHARGE FOLLOW-UP.INITIALLY, THE STRATEGIC GOAL WILL BE TO REDUCE THE 30-DAY HOSPITAL READMISSION RATE FOR THE CHRONIC DISEASE SELECTED. THIS HAS THE MOST IMMEDIATE IMPACT. AS WE DEVELOP OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND BEGIN TO IMPACT THE WHOLE CARE CONTINUUM, ADDITIONAL GOALS CAN BE ADDED THAT ADDRESS KEY INDICATORS OF COMMUNITY/POPULATION HEALTH (E.G., PREVALENCE AND INCIDENCE RATES, SCREENING RATES, HOSPITAL ADMISSION RATES, BEHAVIORAL AND LIFESTYLE FACTORS). ENTITIES MUST ESTABLISH SPECIFIC STRATEGIES AND DEVELOP CLEAR INDICATORS OR MEASURES OF SUCCESS TO TRACK PROGRESS. IN ADDITION TO THE HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INITIATIVES, EACH SSM HEALTH CARE HOSPITAL WILL CONDUCT A SEPARATE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). TO SUPPORT THE COMPLETION OF A CHNA IN ACCORDANCE WITH ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES, A SIX-STEP PROCESS WAS DEVELOPED. THE PROCESS DEFINES AN APPROACH THAT CAN BE USED TO ASSESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY SSM HEALTH CARE AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR MEETING THOSE NEEDS. THE PROCESS INCLUDES:- DEVELOP A PLAN TO ADDRESS HEALTH REFORM MANDATES TO INCLUDE DEFINING HOW THE ASSESSMENT AND BY WHOM THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE COMPLETED; IDENTIFYING THE STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED; AND THE TIME FRAME FOR COMPLETION- PERFORM DATA COLLECTION INCLUDING IDENTIFYING THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERVED, ACCESSING SECONDARY DATA SOURCES AND COORDINATING INTERVIEWS, SURVEY AND/OR FOCUS GROUPS FOR PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION- PERFORM DATA ANALYSIS BY EVALUATING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE HEALTH NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES- CREATE A PLAN WITH GOALS, STRATEGIES, ACTIONS, DUE DATES, AND RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS WHICH INCLUDES INPUT FROM CONSTITUENTS- OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM SYSTEM MANAGEMENT TO BE ADOPTED IN 2012 AND INCORPORATE THE CHNA INITIATIVES INTO THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO INCLUDE APPOINTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN AND ASSIGNING A STEERING COMMITTEE TO MONITOR PROGRESS AS APPROPRIATE- COORDINATE COMMUNICATION TO THE PUBLIC, BOARDS, STAFF AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING TOP PRIORITIES IMPACTING COMMUNITY HEALTH
		PART VI, LINE 3: ALL SSMHC FACILITIES WILL STRIVE TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO ALL PERSONS IN NEED REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.

SSMHC FACILITIES OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES TO ALL UNINSURED PERSONS. SELF-PAY DISCOUNTS APPLY TO EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, NO MATTER THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. EACH ENTITY PROVIDING MEDICAL SERVICE SHALL PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC REGARDING ITS CHARITY CARE POLICIES AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH OF ITS FACILITIES. WHEN STANDARD SYSTEM NOTICES AND COMMUNICATION REGARDING CHARITY CARE ARE AVAILABLE, THESE MUST BE USED. MODIFICATIONS TO THE STANDARD MAY BE MADE TO COMPLY WITH STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, AS WELL AS REFLECT CULTURALLY SENSITIVE TERMINOLOGY FOR THE POLICY. ALL NOTICES ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND AVAILABLE IN THOSE LANGUAGES THAT ARE PREVALENT IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT: - THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT,- THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND ENTITY CHARITY CARE AND PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS,- THE ENTITY'S CHARITY POLICY AND APPLICATION PROCESS, AND- WHO TO CONTACT TO GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR FINANCIAL COUNSELING.

PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT	FORM 990, PART III LINE 4A, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE:	THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONTRIBUTION OF SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDES PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND IMPROVE HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IN ORDER TO PORTRAY THE FULL BREADTH OF OUR CONTRIBUTION, OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT INFORMATION IS DESCRIBED BELOW: SECTION 1: QUALITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT - DESCRIBES THE CORPORATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT MISSION, HOW THE MISSION IS TRANSLATED INTO A PROACTIVE APPROACH DESIGNED TO MEET COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, HOW THE CORPORATION MEETS TAX-EXEMPT REQUIREMENTS, AND A DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT HIGHLIGHT THE CORPORATION'S IMPACT ON COMMUNITY HEALTH. SECTION 2: QUANTITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT - DESCRIBES THE CORPORATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONTRIBUTION IN FINANCIAL TERMS PRESENTING THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE, THE UNPAID SHORTFALL FROM GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE FOR THE INDIGENT, AND THE NET EXPENSE OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES. SECTION 1 - QUALITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT 1. ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT A. DESCRIBE THE CORPORATION'S MISSION AND PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE. SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1872 BY CATHOLIC SISTERS, SSM HEALTH CARE (SSMHC) HAS EXISTED TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. SPONSORED BY THE FRANCISCAN SISTERS OF MARY AND HEADQUARTERED IN ST. LOUIS, MO, SSMHC OPERATES 16 HOSPITALS, TWO NURSING HOMES AND HOME HEALTH AGENCIES IN FOUR STATES. THE HEALTH SYSTEM EMPLOYS APPROXIMATELY 22,000 PEOPLE AND IS AFFILIATED WITH MORE THAN 5,000 PHYSICIANS. IN THE TRADITION OF ITS FOUNDING SISTERS, SSMHC STRIVES TO FULFILL ITS MISSION BY PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL HEALTH CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COMES TO ITS HOSPITALS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. B. SUMMARIZE THE CORPORATION'S APPROACH TO PROVIDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT. ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SERVICES - MARYVILLE, MO: A COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITY IS IDENTIFIED AS A SERVICE RATHER THAN AS A MARKETING TOOL AND MEETS AT LEAST TWO OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: - IT IS FINANCED BY PHILANTHROPIC CONTRIBUTIONS, VOLUNTEER EFFORTS, OR AN ENDOWMENT. - IT PROVIDES A RESPONSE TO A UNIQUE OR PARTICULAR HEALTH PROBLEM IN THE COMMUNITY. - IT GENERATES A LOW OR NEGATIVE MARGIN ON A FULLY ABSORBED COST BASIS. - IT RESPONDS TO THE NEEDS OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS SUCH AS MINORITIES, WOMEN AND CHILDREN, THE FRAIL ELDERLY, LOW INCOME PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, THE MENTALLY ILL, OR THOSE LIVING WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS. - THE DECISION TO OFFER THE SERVICE OR PROGRAM IS NOT MADE ON A PURELY FINANCIAL BASIS. - IF NOT PROVIDED BY HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS, THE SERVICE WOULD NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY OR WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENT. HEALTHY COMMUNITIES' INITIATIVES ARE A COMPONENT OF THE OVERALL COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM. HEALTHY COMMUNITIES' INITIATIVES DEMONSTRATE THE LEADERSHIP ROLE THAT ST. FRANCIS IS TAKING IN IDENTIFYING, COMMUNICATING AND DEVELOPING RESPONSES TO HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE INITIATIVES ARE UNDERTAKEN IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS. HEALTHY COMMUNITIES' INITIATIVES ARE SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED IN THE STRATEGIC AND FINANCIAL PLAN. SPECIFIC AND MEASURABLE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE ESTABLISHED FOR EACH INITIATIVE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN RESPONDING TO THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEED. ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS FOR IDENTIFYING A HEALTHY COMMUNITIES' PROJECT IS TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE TOP CHRONIC DISEASES IN THE AREA. COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE IDENTIFIED IN ORDER TO ADDRESS KEY INDICATORS OF COMMUNITY/POPULATION HEALTH (E.G., PREVALENCE AND INCIDENCE RATES, SCREENING RATES, HOSPITAL ADMISSION RATES, BEHAVIORAL AND LIFESTYLE FACTORS). STRATEGIES ARE FOCUSED AROUND PREVENTION, ACCESS, AND INPATIENT CARE TO REDUCE READMISSIONS AND DEVELOP CLEAR INDICATORS OR MEASURES OF SUCCESS TO TRACK PROGRESS. ST. MARY'S HEALTH CENTER - JEFFERSON CITY, MO: ST. MARY'S USES PRIMARY AND SECONDARY STUDIES WITH UTILIZATION QUESTIONS, AS WELL AS VITAL MARKET DATA, TO ASSESS COMMUNITY NEED ON A ANNUAL BASIS. FOR INSTANCE, WE UTILIZE HIDI MARKETING DATA TO ASSESS PROMINENT DISEASE CATEGORIES BY AGE AND GENDER IN OUR NINE COUNTY SERVICE AREA TO DETERMINE THE MOST EFFECTIVE OUTREACH FOR THE UNDERSERVED. FOCUS GROUPS ARE ALSO USED FOR OUR MAJOR SERVICE LINES. ST. MARY'S PARTICIPATES IN COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, SUCH AS THE INITIATIVES WITH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (FREE MEDICAL CLINIC), COLE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND JEFFERSON CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS (CHILDHOOD OBESITY). C. DESCRIBE THE CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES OR PROGRAMS (E.G., CHARITY CARE, DISCOUNTING) FOR LOW-INCOME PERSONS AND HOW THEY ARE COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC. ALL SSMHC FACILITIES WILL STRIVE TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO ALL PERSONS IN NEED REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ALL BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICIES AND PRACTICES WILL REFLECT THE MISSION AND VALUES OF SSMHC, INCLUDING OUR SPECIAL CONCERN FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR AND VULNERABLE. SSMHC FACILITIES OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES TO ALL UNINSURED PERSONS. SELF-PAY DISCOUNTS APPLY TO EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, NO MATTER THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. SSMHC WILL APPLY ITS CHARITY CARE POLICIES FAIRLY AND CONSISTENTLY. EACH PERSON WILL BE TREATED AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH SPECIFIC NEEDS FOR ASSISTANCE WITHOUT REGARD TO PAYMENT. SSMHC EMBRACES ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO SERVE THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH WE PARTICIPATE BY ESTABLISHING SOUND BUSINESS PRACTICES. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE FOR HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO FOUR TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. PATIENTS WHOSE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS NO MORE THAN TWO TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE HOSPITAL SERVICES. IN ADDITION, AN EXCEPTION TO THE SLIDING SCALE IS PROVIDED FOR A PATIENT'S BALANCE DUE IF THE AMOUNT IS TOO LARGE TO BE REASONABLY PAID THROUGH AN INSTALLMENT PLAN OVER FOUR YEARS GIVEN THE FAMILY INCOME AND EXPENSES. EACH ENTITY PROVIDING MEDICAL SERVICES SHALL PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC REGARDING ITS CHARITY CARE POLICIES AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH OF ITS FACILITIES. WHEN STANDARD SYSTEM NOTICES AND COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING CHARITY CARE ARE AVAILABLE, THESE MUST BE USED. MODIFICATIONS TO THE STANDARD MAY BE MADE TO COMPLY WITH STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, AS WELL AS REFLECT CULTURALLY SENSITIVE TERMINOLOGY FOR THE POLICY. ALL NOTICES WILL BE EASY TO UNDERSTAND BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND AVAILABLE IN THOSE LANGUAGES THAT ARE PREVALENT IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT: - THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT; - THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND ENTITY CHARITY CARE AND PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS; - THE ENTITY'S CHARITY POLICY AND APPLICATION PROCESS: AND - WHOM TO CONTACT TO GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR FINANCIAL COUNSELING. THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF NOTICES TO THE PUBLIC SHALL BE PROVIDED: - SIGNS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, OUTPATIENT AND INPATIENT REGISTRATION AND PUBLIC WAITING AREAS. - BROCHURES OR FLIERS PROVIDED AT TIME OF REGISTRATION AND AVAILABLE IN THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AREAS. - NOTICES SENT WITH OR ON PATIENT BILLS OR COMMUNICATIONS SENT TO PATIENTS AND GUARANTORS RELATED TO MEDICAL SERVICES. - APPLICATIONS PROVIDED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION. THE APPLICATION FOR CHARITY CARE, TOGETHER WITH ANY INSTRUCTIONS, MUST CLEARLY STATE THE POLICIES REGARDING CHARITY CARE, INCLUDING EXCLUDED SERVICES, ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS. INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENTITY'S CHARITY POLICIES WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED TO PUBLIC AGENCIES. 2. ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION FOR TAX EXEMPTION EACH OF THE HOSPITALS OF SSM REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES: - OPERATE AN EMERGENCY ROOM THAT IS OPEN TO ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY; - HAVE AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF WITH PRIVILEGES AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN THE AREA; - HAVE A DIVISIONAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN WHICH INDEPENDENT PERSONS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY COMPRISE A MAJORITY; - ENGAGE IN THE TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS; - PARTICIPATE IN MEDICAID, MEDICARE, CHAMPUS, TRICARE, AND/OR GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS.
