Health care services: Ellis is a community and teaching hospital with 438 licensed beds (of which 349 were staffed in 2012) across three campuses, including 52 inpatient mental health beds (see item 4B below). The hospital is overseen by a volunteer Board of Trustees drawn from the community. Ellis is the sole provider of acute hospital care in Schenectady County, following state-mandated restructuring which resulted in consolidation of three hospitals into one in 2007-2008. With the mission to meet the health and wellness needs of our community with excellence, Ellis balances state-of-the-art technology and advanced medical procedures with a tradition of community-based caring and a firm commitment to quality.Ellis has earned numerous recognitions for clinical excellence and community service. For six years in a row (2007 2012), Ellis has received recognition from the American Stroke Association (ASA) through the ASAs Gold and Gold Plus Achievement awards. Ellis is recognized for using the ASAs Get with the Guidelines program for improving the quality of care and patient outcomes. Ellis is also a designated Stroke Center by the New York State Department of Health. The hospital has been designated a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. In addition, the Sleep Disorders Center is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine; the Ellis (Belanger) School of Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission; the Family Medicine Residency is accredited by both the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Osteopathic Association; and the Ellis Medicine Glenville Health, Family Practice Associates, and Family Health Center all achieved National Commission on Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition. During recent years Ellis has received community service awards from the City Mission of Schenectady (Partners Award, specifically recognizing the hospitals free community shuttle, health service navigators, and other services for the underserved), the Schenectady ARC (Employer of the Year, recognizing the hospital for providing employment, with opportunities for growth and meaningful experience, to individuals with developmental disabilities), the Sight Society of Northeastern New York (Hospital of the Year for commitment and compassion to grieving families along with outstanding accomplishments and best practices to facilitate cornea donations), the Goose Hill Neighborhood Association (Community Award for being a good neighbor and proactive communicator), and the Seventh National Learning Congress of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (Silver Medal for organ donation).Ellis operates two Emergency Departments which had 88,119 visits in 2012, the Bellevue Womans Care Center which delivered 2,633 babies in 2012, four primary care practices (in Schenectady (2), Glenville, and Latham), an 82-bed skilled nursing facility and short-stay rehabilitation facility, two off-site blood draw stations, a Bariatric Care location, a Sleep Disorders Center, a Wound Care Center, a Family Medicine Residency including an Osteopathic Residency, a General Dental Residency, and a School of Nursing. Residents enrolled in the Family Medicine Residency and the General Dental Residency provide primary medical and dental care to patients, the majority of whom are uninsured or are participants in government programs such as Medicaid, Family Health Plus, and Child Health Plus through three clinics located at the Ellis Health Center: the Family Health Center, the Pediatric Health Center, and the Dental Health Center. In late 2012, Ellis opened the Medical Center of Clifton Park (MCCP), currently the only 24/7 emergent care facility located in Southern Saratoga County, one of the fastest-growing communities in New York State. Ellis is also the corporate member of the Visiting Nurse Service of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties (VNS), a not-for-profit home health care agency which is the largest State-certified provider of home health care services in Schenectady County. The Ellis Belanger School of Nursing prepares students for licensure as professional Registered Nurses (RN). Ninety-four percent of the schools graduates passed the New York State nursing licensure examination in 2012. Total enrollment in October 2012 was 132 students. The graduates in the Class of 2012 (combined day and evening/weekend programs) were 48, of whom 37 (77%) joined the nursing staff at Ellis upon graduation.Ellis serves the community by addressing identified health care priorities, including access to care and prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, through a variety of programs. Identification of needs includes such mechanisms as the State-mandated three-year Community Service Plan (the 2010-2012 plan was filed in September 2009 and updated in September 2012), the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI) (a three-county health data collection and planning entity which brings together county health departments, hospitals, FQHCs, and not-for-profit insurers), and the Schenectady County Strategic Alliance for Health (a federally-designated and funded collaborative focused on preventing chronic disease and promoting community health). Ellis also collaborates with the Schenectady County Public Health Service, such as cooperation in identifying the health care needs of Schenectadys Indo-Guyanese (West Indian) population through a federal REACH grant. Care Central, a multi-agency provider of care management services led by Ellis and VNS, addresses community health needs through: 1) the Medical Home, an innovative community collaboration which centralizes primary care and outpatient health and community services in one location at the Ellis Health Center campus, featuring health services navigators and a community service navigator, a free community shuttle van, and community-focused programs such as a combined kindergarten registration and immunization event, 2) a Medicaid Health Home which also provides both care management and direct chronic care services to uninsured patients, and 3) a Medicare Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP). Community needs are also addressed by such programs as: the Wright Heart Center, which offers complete cardiac care and which has partnered with local volunteer ambulance corps to improve response times through installation of advanced EKG equipment on ambulances and location of AEDs at community sites such as recreation fields, and which also participated with IPRO in a three-year project funded by CMS to evaluate the transition of patients for each level of care and make improvements to reduce hospital readmissions; the Stroke Center, which is the regions most comprehensive source for stroke education; and the Ellis Center for Diabetes, which helps children and adults with diabetes improve their quality of life through education and support, including the areas only summer day camp for children with type 1 diabetes which provides full-tuition scholarships for low-income children.Ellis counted 18,461 inpatient discharges and 557,909 outpatient visits during 2012. In pursuing its mission, the hospital provides services to anyone who walks through its doors, regardless of their ability to pay. In 2012, Ellis provided $34,447,981 in Financial Assistance, consisting of $8,928,000 in Charity Care and $25,519,981 in Uninsured Discounts. Ellis has granted discounted rates to all uninsured patients, without requiring evidence of ability to pay, since November 2009.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 22,339,891 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $ 21,239,034 )
Ellis operates a 52-bed (certified and staffed) inpatient mental health unit, along with expanded outpatient services. This is the only inpatient mental health facility in Schenectady County, and is one of only two inpatient units in a 16-county region providing services to adolescents. Ellis mental health services include: inpatient care for adults and adolescents; outpatient child, adolescent, and adult mental health services; crisis intervention, including a 24-hour crisis information hotline; a peer advocacy program; and a support and education group for those suffering from schizophrenia and other major disorders and their families. In response to a nationally-studied Schenectady suicide cluster of teenage African-American females, Ellis moved the outpatient child and adolescent mental health clinic to substantially expanded facilities at the Ellis Health Center, where it is co-located with an office of the Schenectady City School District and the hospitals Medical Home. In 2012, the Ellis mental health programs had 2,288 inpatient discharges and 56,183 outpatient visits.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 11,858,381 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $ 8,410,574 )
Long term care: The Ellis Center, an 82-bed skilled nursing facility and short-stay rehabilitation facility specializing in medically complex cases, operates from its renovated facility on the Ellis Health Center campus. The new facility provides residents with more private rooms and such amenities as a cyber-center, a larger hair salon, and a roof-top garden. Inpatient days for 2012 were 28,242. The relocation in 2010 freed up two floors at Ellis Hospital which, while now used for clinical and administrative offices, could be made available for surge capacity in the event of a community disaster or epidemic.

  Part VI - Affilated Health Care System Roles and Promotion Not Applicable
  Part VI - Explanation Of How Organization Furthers Its Exempt Purpose Ellis Medicine furthers its exempt purpose by promoting the health of the community through:*A volunteer Board of Trustees that is comprised of community members, medical staff members and hospital administrators who serve three year terms, up to a three term maximum. Currently, the Ellis Board is comprised of 22 trustees 17 non-physician citizens of the community, four physicians, and one senior hospital administrator (the hospitals President and CEO). Ellis does not have a parent corporation.*An open medical staff consisting of approximately 700 affiliated physicians and other providers. Medical privileges at Ellis Hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area. Approximately 220 physicians and other providers are employed by Ellis, including 30 residents participating in the Family Medicine Residency and three in the General Dental Residency. Ellis medical staff is led by a Medical-Dental Executive Committee (MDEC). The MDEC plays an integral part in the hospitals corporate structure and daily operations. The MDEC and the department chairs, who oversee specific clinical services, work collaboratively with the hospitals volunteer Board of Trustees, administrators, and staff to ensure the highest quality of care is delivered to patients and that the community's healthcare needs are met with excellence. Physicians also serve as members of the hospitals Board of Trustees, and they are directly involved in the hospitals annual budget process: they rank and prioritize all capital items in the hospitals capital budget and they sign off on volume projections for the hospitals annual operating budget.*Operation of two, full service, fully staffed emergency rooms on two separate Schenectady campuses, both of which are open 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, 365 days-a-year, along with 24/7 emergent care services now available for the first time in Southern Saratoga County. Ellis emergency rooms care for all those in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay. Similarly, Ellis Hospitals admission policy is not restrictive. Ellis does not deny admission to any patient based on his/her ability to pay. *The work of The Foundation for Ellis Medicine, a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt charitable organization whose sole purpose is to encourage philanthropic support for Ellis Hospital. The Ellis Hospital Foundation was established in 1982 and is governed by a separate board of trustees. Funds raised through the Foundations activities are used to assist the hospital in acquiring state-of-the-art medical equipment and support a wide range of health care programs and services. *Reinvesting its surplus funds to expand/replace/modernize its facilities and medical equipment; support programs/activities aimed at improving quality of care and patient safety; train and educate its medical and nursing staffs; and to improve the overall delivery of and accessibility to health care services in the community.Ellis Medicine demonstrates leadership as a charitable institution by organizing and participating in communitywide efforts for the needy; reaching out to the underserved to provide needed primary and preventative healthcare services and health education, especially through its Medical Home; attracting and using funds to serve the needy; participating in Medicaid and other federal, state, and local healthcare reimbursement programs for the needy such as Child Health Plus; and formally planning for and providing charity care and maintaining a policy of administering care to all persons in need.Ellis Medicine is accountable to the community by having a volunteer governing board comprised of members of the Schenectady community; inviting and responding to community input and involvement in planning and review of hospital activities; voluntarily disclosing information to the public on hospital services, financial status, community benefit activities and charity care; and advocating for healthcare cost containment and promoting the efficient use of healthcare resources within the community.
  Part VI - Community Building Activities Ellis Medicine (the trade name for Ellis Hospital) successfully restructured healthcare services following the New York State-mandated hospital consolidation in Schenectady in 2007-2008, and has since been working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services to its community by aligning its innovative approaches to community health with the services provided by other local community-based public and not-for-profit organizations. Ellis is now the sole acute care hospital in Schenectady County, and is one of the largest primary care providers, having assumed responsibility for the services of two former hospitals which closed during the States rightsizing process. In this important role, Ellis has engaged the community and developed coalitions with community partners in order to ensure access to a full range of healthcare services, with special attention paid to disadvantaged members of our community. Ellis has undertaken and is planning a number of significant capital projects to consolidate care, enhance access to care, and improve the overall quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of our local healthcare system. One of Ellis Medicines key community building activities is Care Central, a community-focused, multi-partner, care management program built from Ellis innovative Medical Home, which is a central location for primary care and outpatient services on a single campus aimed at improving access to healthcare, especially among the uninsured and underinsured. The Ellis Medical Home offers primary care (adult and pediatric), dental care, outpatient child/adolescent mental health services, diabetes education, and emergency services along with a number of outpatient services such as medical imaging, laboratory, a sleep disorders center, wound care, and day surgery. The Medical Home features specially trained Health Services Navigators, one an Ellis employee and the other contracted from Schenectady County Public Health Services, and a Community Services Navigator, a counselor employed by the local community action agency, who help patients connect to the healthcare and social services programs they need, including Medicaid facilitated enrollment services, and a free Community Shuttle which provides transportation from a number of community sites including homeless shelters and soup kitchens to the healthcare campus. The Medical Home is an effective partnership among Ellis Medicine and numerous community groups, including the Schenectady Community Action Program, the Salvation Army, the City Mission, YWCA, YMCA, Schenectady City School District, and Schenectady County Public Health Services, among other social service and community agencies.The success of the Medical Home in building community coalitions helped lead to a successful application by a community partnership for designation by the New York State Department of Health as one of the first three upstate Medicaid Health Homes. The Health Home program, which was established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 and conforming State law, is intended to provide a comprehensive array of healthcare and community support services to Medicaid patients with designated high-cost conditions. New York State has chosen to initially focus on patients with multiple chronic conditions, behavioral health issues, and/or HIV/AIDS. A coalition of over 40 healthcare and community agencies led by Ellis, the Visiting Nurse Service of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties, Inc., and Hometown Health (the Schenectady FQHC) now provides comprehensive care management services to high risk Medicaid patients in Schenectady County.A third component of Care Central is a Medicare Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) which serves patients discharged from ten different hospitals in a ten-county region. Ellis is the largest participating hospital.Another example of Ellis coalition building activities is its participation in the Schenectady County Public Health Services federally funded Strategic Alliance for Health (SAH), which brings together a host of healthcare and community organizations to address chronic disease and to promote disease prevention and wellness. An Ellis representative participates in regular meetings of the SAH board. Ellis also works closely with the Schenectady County Public Health Services and the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI) to assess community needs and to develop the State-required Community Service Plan (CSP) to identify health priorities. (These activities are described further on Line 2.)Additionally, Ellis partners with a number of community partners, such as the American Cancer Society and the YWCA, to provide health screenings to uninsured and underinsured populations in our service area. Ellis provides office space and other in-kind support for the State-sponsored Schenectady County Cancer Services Program. In collaboration with community partners, Ellis offers outpatient smoking cessation courses and sponsors peer-driven mental health and cancer patient support groups. And, Ellis cooperates with community groups to facilitate access to healthy foods for people through the community. In past years, acting in collaboration with the Schenectady County Planning Department and the Cooperative Extension, Ellis hosted a weekly Farmers Market in the parking lot of the Ellis Health Center during the summer months. Starting in 2013, physicians at the Family Health Center will be prescribing fresh vegetables to at-risk patients as part of a foundation-funded grant program. The prescription will constitute a voucher for no-charge locally-grown vegetables which will be distributed at a farm stand to be located at the Ellis Health Center.Medical residents from the Ellis Family Medicine Residency donate their time and expertise to staff two free community-based medical clinics. A weekly clinic at the Schenectady City Mission serves uninsured, homeless individuals in the City of Schenectady. And a rural seasonal clinic provides care to uninsured migrant workers in collaboration with the Columbia County Department of Health.Ellis staffs a Green Team that works to promote recycling and other eco-friendly practices throughout the organization. Ellis staff members also sit on numerous community boards and healthcare coalitions to target improvements in such areas as diabetes, long term care, cancer, hospital readmission rates, and healthy living.
  Part VI - Community Information In accordance with industry standards, Ellis Hospitals community is defined as the hospitals Primary and Secondary Service Areas, accounting for 80% of the hospitals discharge volume. These include all or portions of Schenectady, Saratoga, Albany, Fulton, and Montgomery counties and are comprised of 22 zip codes. Since the State-mandated consolidation of Schenectadys hospitals, Ellis has become the sole provider of acute hospital care in Schenectady County, and it is the largest hospital within its Service Areas.The Primary Service Area is focused on the City of Schenectady, an older industrial city with a population of about 60,000, a substantial decline from the 1940 high of over 90,000. According to the City of Schenectadys 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan, 67% of households in the city are considered low or moderate income, while the poverty rate in the Hamilton Hill neighborhood, adjacent to Ellis Hospital, is over 28%. Nearly all (95%) of the Citys housing stock was built before 1978, and Schenectady neighborhoods have been identified as having among the highest concentration of elevated blood levels for lead in New York State.An impact of the level of poverty in the City of Schenectady has been the extent to which Ellis patients are either covered by government health programs or are uninsured. During 2012, Medicare patients accounted for 41.1% of inpatient discharges, 30.3% of outpatient visits, and 35.9% of net patient revenues. Medicaid covered 22.0% of inpatient discharges, 20.0% of outpatient visits, and 15.7% of net patient revenues. Uninsured patients accounted for 3.2% of inpatient discharges and 5.3% of outpatient visits. Overall, uninsured or government insured patients made up 66.3% of inpatient discharges and 55.6% of outpatient visits, while generating 54.3% of net patient revenues before bad debts.There is one Medically Underserved Population (MUP) within Ellis Primary Service Area. The homebound population of Schenectady County is designated MUP 06211. In response, physicians on the staff of the Ellis Family Health Center make house calls, and residents in the hospitals Family Medicine Residency may include house calls in their training. The Secondary Service Area is a much wider geographic area, including rural and farming communities, as well as affluent suburbs. Overall, the combined Service Areas represent a study in contrasts. A nearly equal number of people have incomes below $25,000 as above $100,000. Health status variations are similarly dramatic. For example, according to the New York State Department of Health the rates of asthma-related hospital admissions per 10,000 people vary from 458 in the 12307 ZIP code to 49 in the 12309 ZIP code, a distance of about five miles.Overall census data for the combined Service Areas for 2012 estimate a total population of 363,289. This is projected to increase to 372,181 by 2017. The 2012 median income was $56,774, while the mean income was $70,024, demonstrating the impact of outliers. The gender distribution is 49% male and 51% female. The area is fairly well educated, with 31% of the population having a bachelors degree or more. There will, however, likely be increased need for healthcare services as the community ages. The greatest change in population from 2012 to 2017 is expected to be in the over 55 age range (14% increase), while decreases are expected in the number of children aged 0-17 (2%) and in adults in the 35-54 age range (8%).
  Part VI - Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance Ellis Medicine provides financial assistance information about programs available to assist patients in paying for their bills, including discount programs and charity care, on its external website (www.ellismedicine.org) (specifically at http://www.ellismedicine.org/financial-assistance/faqs.aspx), in readily available and publicly distributed brochures, and through flyers and posters visible throughout the organization. Applications for financial assistance are available online at the Ellis website. Additionally, Ellis employs Financial Advocates who assist patients in determining the availability of and their eligibility for free or low-cost care, and then assist them with completing the necessary paperwork. Since 2009, Ellis Medicine has included affirmative financial assistance outreach as part of the innovative Medical Home through which it aims to increase access to care and provide healthcare navigation services to patients (especially the underserved and uninsured / underinsured), including education about and assistance with charity care and financial assistance services. Medicaid Facilitated Enrollers from HCDI and from Fidelis (a not-for-profit Medicaid Managed Care Organization) are located on-site at Ellis facilities.Additionally, Ellis publicizes its Financial Call Center & Information Line (sharing with our 3,300 employees; our local, state and federal lawmakers offices in case they receive constituent inquiries related to hospital costs and/or financial services at Ellis; and the general public), highlighting a number to call (518-243-1695) through which patients can receive information about how much their care will cost at Ellis Medicine as a way to be transparent and helpful in providing this information, as more and more patients are paying higher deductibles and are concerned about the cost to them out-of-pocket. This is particularly significant in Ellis Primary Service Area, as the largest local employer has converted to a high-deductible health insurance plan for most of its employees.Ellis has also participated in health fairs and employer information functions to advise small businesses and their employees of Ellis Financial Call Center & Information Line. Ellis Call Center has trained specialists who can help enroll qualifying patients in Financial Assistance programs, estimate a patients out-of-pocket expenses based on their medical plan, provide pricing for procedures and tests at Ellis Medicine and assist patients in completing Medicaid applications when applicable. Ellis Information Line helps with physician referrals, scheduling outpatient testing and providing general information about programs and services at Ellis Medicine.
  Part VI - Needs Assessment Ellis Medicine assesses the healthcare needs of its community through analysis of federal, State and local healthcare data, through collaboration with healthcare and community partners, and through the engagement of the public in meetings and surveys. Ellis files a Community Service Plan (http://www.ellismedicine.org/pdf/CommunityServicePlan.pdf) with the New York State Department of Health, along with annual Plan Updates, as required of all hospitals in New York State. Ellis has begun working with community partners in preparation for Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and Implementation Plan reporting which will be required for the tax year 2013. The Schenectady community intends to use this opportunity to develop a comprehensive, multi-agency, plan for a full range of coordinated services. As the basis for the CHNA, Ellis engaged an epidemiologist who has designed a comprehensive health needs survey which will be administered door-to-door in the City of Schenectady, the area of highest need, by Community Health Workers (CHW) and student volunteers. Ellis participates as a dues-paying member of the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI), a State-recognized regional health planning and research agency. HCDI members include county health departments from New Yorks Capital Region (Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties), local hospitals and FQHCs, not-for-profit health insurers, and other healthcare and community partners. HCDI coordinates regional needs assessments and collaborative responses to identified service gaps. Ellis is represented on the Board of HCDI, where an Ellis representative attends bi-monthly meetings, and Ellis has provided staff expertise for various workgroups. HCDI also serves as a Medicaid Facilitated Enroller for Schenectady County.HCDI published a report on an intensive study of Emergency Department (ED) utilization in the three-county region. Ellis participated by distributing HCDIs surveys to patients in both Emergency Departments, and by assigning staff to work on several HCDI workgroups. The analysis found that nearly half of ED visits could have been treated in a primary care setting or prevented by appropriate primary care, and also found that an unusually large share of Ellis ED visits were by uninsured patients as compared with other hospitals in the area. In response, Ellis has increased efforts to make primary care services available in Schenectady, and has met with Schenectady County officials and community organizations to develop ways to encourage uninsured patients to obtain Medicaid coverage. The Ellis Family Health Center, a primary care clinic which largely serves uninsured and Medicaid patients, provided over 35,000 patient visits in 2012.As part of the 2013 CHNA process, HCDI will update its Community Health Profile (last published in 2009) through which multiple data sources were analyzed to identify and rank the top health concerns in Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties. In preparing the 2009 document, a public health forum, How Healthy Is the Capital District? was held at a local television station, allowing audience and call-in participation during the hour-long broadcast. Additionally, a public survey of community members was also administered. Of the more than 1,100 community members surveyed, 41.6% of respondents resided in Schenectady County. The main issues covered by the survey included access to care, health insurance coverage, barriers to healthcare, Emergency Department utilization, and chronic disease experiences.In addition to this Capital Region-wide effort, Ellis has long worked with Schenectady County Public Health Services to identify health priorities and strategies to address them. From this process, Ellis produces a State-required Community Service Plan and the County Public Health Service produces its separate State-required Community Health Assessment. In accordance with New York State law, Ellis filed a three year (2010-2012) Community Service Plan with the State Department of Health in September 2009, and then filed annual updates to the Plan in September 2010, September 2011, and September 2012. Following review, the New York State Department of Health has accepted each of Ellis updates without requiring any revisions.Finally, Ellis holds regular meetings in the community and has engaged the Siena Research Institute to conduct periodic public surveys regarding local health concerns and priorities. During 2012, Ellis conducted 12 community outreach meetings between community groups, such as neighborhood associations, service clubs, and senior citizens organizations, and Ellis executives. In addition, the CEO and CFO met with the Mayor of the City of Schenectady. The most recent Siena Survey was conducted in late 2010 to assess community satisfaction with overall healthcare services and with specialty care services. The survey found that 79% of Schenectady residents are satisfied or very satisfied with the overall healthcare system in the community. The largest categories of service for which patients travel outside the community are oncology (26%) and general surgery (24%). The results of these surveys and the public input via community meetings provide feedback from the general public about hospital services/health needs/health concerns. Ellis also holds regular meetings with employees and physicians, and administers annual satisfaction surveys to its employees and physicians.
Number of Hospital Faciltiy - 1 Part V, Line 20d - Other Billing Determination of Individuals Without Insurance All uninsured patients are automatically eligible for a reduction of charges to the reimbursement rate from Ellis' highest volume health maintenance organization. Uninsured patients with incomes at or below 300% FPG are eligible to recieve charity (free) care.
  Part III, Line 9b - Provisions On Collection Practices For Qualified Patients Ellis Hospital does not use presumptive eligibility for charity care. All patients eligible for charity care must submit an application which is then reviewed by Ellis to verify charity care eligibility. Without a submitted application, charity care is not approved and patients are subject to routine collection efforts as outlined in Ellis' collection policies. However, once approved for charity care, patients balances are eliminated and no collection efforts take place.
  Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community Benefit The costing methodology used to determine Medicare allowable cost reported on Part III, line 6 is the ratio of costs to charges. Consistent with the charitable health care mission of Ellis Hospital, Ellis provides care for all patients covered by Medicare who seek medical care. Such care is provided regardless of whether the reimbursement provided for such services meets or exceeds the cost incurred by Ellis to provide such services. As a result, Ellis views any shortfall reported in Line 7 as an additional item of community benefit provided by the organization.
  Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense The following footnote related to bad debt expense is included in the audited financial statements.The Hospital grants credit without collateral to patients, most of whom are local residents and are insured under third party payor agreements. Additions to the the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the provision for bad debts. Accounts written off as uncollectible are deducted from the allowance. The amount of the provision for bad debts is based upon management's assessment of historical expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in Federal and state governmental health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Services rendered to individuals when payment is expected and ultimately not recieved are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.The Bad Debt Expense included on form 990, Part IX, line 25, column (A) but removed from the percent of expense on Schedule H, Line 7 a through k, column (F) was $14,152,292.
  Part III, Line 2 - Methodology Used To Estimate Bad Debt Expense The costing methodology used in determining the amounts on Part III, Section A, lines 2 and 3, is Ellis's cost to charge ratio.
  Part I, Line 3c - Charity Care Eligibility Criteria (FPG Is Not Used) All uninsured patients are automatically eligible for a reduction of charges to the reimbursement rate from Ellis' highest volume health maintenance organization. Uninsured patients with incomes at or below 300% FPG are eligible to receive charity (free) care.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used   The School of Nursing (SON) works with the office of the Vice President for Nursing and the Ellis Hospital Foundation to track awards and to assure that the grants and monies are used for the intended purpose. It is the responsibility of the Ellis Finance Department to release the funds and account for the remaining balance. In the case of the Auer Scholarship, the faculty interviews the potential recipients and makes a recommendation (in rank order) of who should receive the scholarship. The Director of the SON meets with the VP for Nursing and they make a decision on how many scholarships to award to the top candidates. The Finance Department then credits the student tuition receivable account and draws the money from the Scholarship fund. There are scholarship monies that community organizations give. The organizations either send a check or hand it to the student at commencement.
