Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
EXPLANATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE CARE SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3 NYEEI utilizes Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPGs) to determine eligibility for providing free care (100%) and 300% for providing discounted care to low income individuals who present here (see Part V 11{b}). We do NOT use an asset test or other threshold, regardless of income, to determine eligibility for free or discounted care for any of our annual 250,000 outpatient encounters. Asset levels are documented and submitted as a requirement for NYS Medicaid applications.
DESCRIPTION OF ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A & B NYEE prepares an annual community benefit (aka Community Service Prevention Plan) report. The latest version was submitted to NYS DOH on 9-15-12. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS: a. sent to the NYS DOH b. posted on our website c. available on-site for patients and community members d. approximately 61 pages long (an executive summary is available to patients)
EXPLANATION OF COSTING METHODOLOGY PART I, LINE 7 NYEEI costing methodology was based upon the 2011 NYS Institutional Cost Report and the 2011 Medicare (Form 2252) Cost Report. These reports are filed with the NYS Department of Health and the applicable CMS intermediary, respectively. The cost-to-charge ratio, derived from Worksheet 2 and the ratio of patient care cost-to-charges, were used for the various sub-line items of line # 7. We utilized the worksheets from the instructions to calculate the total amount.
EXPLANATION OF ZERO PERCENT CHARITY CARE PART I, LINE 7A The GME pool distribution formula until 2010 was based on the number of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) residents' ratio to the statewide GME FTE residents' ratio whereas the Indigent care pool continues to be based on the needs of each individual hospital. That year, NYS mandated that the larger pool distributions would be on the individual hospital's bad debt/charity care percentage and combined the two previous pools (GME and bad debt and charity care) to create a larger indigency care pool. Since that time, this pool has been allocated to individual hospitals using their indidvidual indigency care formula. Given that NYEE's pool distribution percentage is higher than our GME percentage, we received a higher dollar amount from the combined indigency pool in 2011 than in any prior year as indigency revenue exceeded expenses. Please know that we provided (at cost) a total Inpatient & Outpatient Uncompensated Care of $2,954,654 in 2011. Background: In 2009, NYS converted the prior Statewide Professional Education (aka Graduate Medical Education-GME) Pool in order to provide additional Indigent Care Pool funding to hospitals with high needs. As the NYS pool is designated as reimbursement for both Charity Care and Bad Debt, NYEE has allocated this additional distribution proportionately, between Charity Care and Bad Debt, based on its ratio of Costs to Charges, for both inpatients and outpatients.
EXPLANATION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F WE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS DIVIDING THE RESULT FROM COLUMN (E) BY THE EXPENSE FROM PART IX, LINE 25 OF COLUMN (A) REGARDING HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (RESIDENT TRAINING). BAD DEBT EXPENSE PER THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS $4.3 MILLION.

BAD DEBT EXPENSE PART III, LINE 4 NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS: The Infirmary has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the Infirmary at amounts different from its established rates (i.e., gross charges). Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges, and per diem payments. Billings related to services rendered are recorded as net patient service revenue in the period in which the service is performed, net of contractual and other allowances which represent differences between gross charges and the estimated receipts under such programs. Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Patient accounts receivable are also reduced for allowances for uncollectible accounts. The process for estimating the ultimate collection of receivables involves significant assumptions and judgments. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to reserves for uncollectible accounts. In addition, the Infirmary assesses the current state of its billing functions in order to identify any known collection or reimbursement issues in order to assess the impact, if any, on reserve estimates, which involves judgment. The Infirmary believes that the collectability of its receivables is directly linked to the quality of its billing processes, most notably those related to obtaining the correct information in order to bill effectively for the services provided. Revisions in reserve for uncollectible accounts estimates are recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors is as follows: - Medicare. Inpatient acute care services and outpatient services rendered to Medicare program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined rates. These rates vary according to a patient classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic, and other factors. Effective October 1, 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) revised the Medicare patient classification systems. The new Medicare severity adjusted diagnosis related groups (MS-DRGs) reflect changes in technology and current methods of care delivery. CMS has expanded the number of DRGs from 538 to 745 and requires identification of conditions that are present upon admission. Certain inpatient non-acute services and defined medical education costs related to Medicare beneficiaries are paid based on a cost reimbursement methodology. The Infirmary is reimbursed for cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports by the Infirmary and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. - Non-Medicare Payments: The New York Health Care Reform Act of 1996, as updated, governs payments to hospitals in New York State. Under this system, hospitals and all non-Medicare payors, except Medicaid, workers' compensation and no-fault insurance programs, negotiate the hospitals' payment rates. If negotiated rates are not established, payors are billed at hospitals established charges. Medicaid, workers' compensation and no-fault payers pay hospital rates promulgated by the New York State Department of Health on a prospective basis. Adjustments to current and prior years' rates for these payors will continue to be made in the future. Effective December 1, 2009, the New York State Department of Health (DOH) updated the data utilized to calculate the NYS DRG service intensity weights (SIWs) in order to utilize more current data in DOH promulgated rates: There are also various other proposals at the Federal and State level that could, among other things, reduce payment rates. The ultimate outcome of these proposals, regulatory changes, and other market conditions cannot presently be determined. Revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs accounted for approximately 28% and 26%, respectively, of the Infirmary's net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, and 29% and 25%, respectively, of the Infirmary's net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term. During 2011 and 2010, the net amounts recorded related to prior years increased the performance indicator approximately $4,453 and $1,222, respectively. The Infirmary's Medicare cost reports have been audited and finalized by the Medicare fiscal intermediary through December 31, 2006. The Infirmary grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of whom are local residents and are insured under third-party payer arrangements.
EXPLANATION OF SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PART III, LINE 8 ON LINE 7 THERE IS NO SHORTFALL. ON LINE 6, WE APPLIED THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO FROM WORKSHEET C TO THE MEDICARE PROGRAM CHARGES FROM THE COST REPORT.
PROVISIONS ON COLLECTION PRACTICES FOR QUALIFIED PATIENTS PART III, LINE 9B Collection policies: The billing and follow-up processes begin with the review and correction of pre-bill edit reports and conclude with the resolution of accounts through regular follow-up activities or the transfer of accounts to an outside collections agency. Unbilled and Pre-bill Edits: All accounts pass through both the Meditech Claim Scrubber and the ePREMIS billing systems to inspect the content of the claim prior to being submitted to the payors. Accounts that do not meet the requirements for a bill to be released are routed to the pre-bill edit reports. These accounts are corrected in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of administrative and basic coding related denials and issues are identified and resolved prior to submitting the final bill to the individual payors. Accounts from the pre-bill edit reports remain in an unbilled error status until corrected and are worked by billing and follow-up staff until resolution. No trending is done to allow management to identify key issues and/or errors. Control Objective: To reduce the potential for claims to be submitted to payors with errors that result in denials or delaying claim adjudication. Control Activity: Meditech Claim Check pre-bill edit reports and ePREMIS pre-bill edit reports are run identifying those accounts with billing related issues. Accounts remain in pre-bill status until errors are resolved. Pre-bill edit reports are printed and sorted by payor and/or error. Account issues are worked by the patient account representatives or by other appropriate hospital departments as needed. Once a claim is deemed ready for release to the payor it is transmitted electronically for electronically enabled payors or via paper bills for secondary payors or non-electronically enabled payors. All relevant account information is transmitted at this time. Once the account is received by the insurance company it is run through the payor's internal bill review process. Any items, coding or other documentation on the claim, resulting in a rejection will not be paid. Billing and follow-up staff review rejected accounts as part of their normal follow-up activities by working their respective aged trial balance report. Control Objective: To ensure all payor identified claim issues are addressed and claims are resubmitted in a timely manner. Control Activity: All claims are run through edits prior to adjudication by the individual payors. Follow-up staff review payor edits based on their respective follow-up account populations daily. Timely follow-up is performed by staff to resolve all accounts held by payor edits allowing appropriate claim submission. Contractual Adjustments & Charge Write-offs: Adjustments are built into the pro-ration formula at time of bill drop. These formulas are supplied by Budget & Reimbursement to the IS Department and is based upon managed care contracts. Any additional write offs occur at the time of posting if necessary. Control Objective: To ensure that all payments are applied correctly and that the payor amounts are per the contracts. Monthly review of Open Balances: The following report - "Open balance with payment" is run monthly by the AR staff to review accounts that have had payments to ensure that they are receiving the correct contract amount and that the payment was applied to the correct account. All insurance contracts are maintained on-line for easy access. If they note that the third party payor is not paying as to the contract amounts, then details are provided to Budget & Reimbursement department to investigate whether the contract has changed. If it is determined that the third party is violating the contract, then they will first send a letter and file to the payor for follow-up. If this is not resolved, then NYEEI is now reporting these payors to the State. In addition, a weekly report is run for partial payments (open balances) as well as Denial Payment reports. These are followed-up by the respective billers. Vendor Outsourcing: New York Eye & Ear uses an outside vendor for follow-up activity on aged accounts. The billing and follow-up managers prepare a file of all accounts meeting these criteria and accounts are then distributed to an outside vendor for follow-up and resolution via FTP. At the time of the referral each account is assigned a vendor collector code enabling the tracking of payment on each account. The billing supervisors create payment reports to ensure that payments are not inappropriately credited to the vendor. Control Objective: To identify accounts to be transferred to outside vendors for follow-up and account resolution. Control Activity: The billing and follow-up managers prepare an account download file for transfer to the outside vendor. The download file includes: Ambulatory Surgery accounts greater than 120 days, Inpatient accounts greater than 120 days, Outpatient accounts greater than 30 days and Referred Ambulatory accounts greater than 30 days. Quality Review: Formal review of account activity within the billing and follow-up department is not conducted on an account by account basis. Trial balances are assigned to patient accounts staff for account by account review, particularly inpatient and ASU. Outsourcing only occurs if payors have not resolved the payment issues within the given time frame. Quality reviews are conducted through the regular review of payment and adjustment summary reports. Reports include partial payment and denial payment report. Control Objective: To review account activity on a weekly basis to ensure that staff fulfills written expectations for account resolution. Control Activity: Regular quality reviews are conducted to ensure accuracy and timeliness of account follow-up and resolution. Policies and Procedures: Policies and procedures exist and are available to staff. Control Objective: Policies and Procedures are documented in writing. Control Activity: Policies and procedures exist and are available to individual staff. Part III line 9(b) re Charity Care: Per NYEEI's Policies & Procedures, all patients are treated the same-regardless of financial class, patient status, type of service, etc. We do NOT collect up-front from for all patients who are presumed to be eligible for Charity Care. Immediate assistance and counseling is provided to patients who cannot afford to pay.
Description of measures to publicize charity care policy Schedule H, Part V, LINE 13 13 (b) The entire 8 page charity care policy is not attached to every invoice. A summary is included on each bill along with a telephone number of the bilingual financial assistance counselors who can answer additional questions. 13 (e) The policy is provided, in writing, to all appropriate patients on admission to the hospital; Due to the high percentage of NYEEI elective paying (insurance and cash) inpatient and surgical admissions, the charity care policy, while available, is only given in writing to emergency and indigent patients upon registration.
DESCRIPTION OF CHARGES FOR MEDICAL CARE (METHODOLOGY) SCHEDULE H, SECTION V, LINE 19 1. All clinic visits charges are uniform-- $178 (facility rate) which includes a $40 charge for the Physician plus the HCRA (the Health Care Reform Act--a NYS mandated tax on services) surcharge. 2. All medically necessary ambulatory surgery cases equal the Medicare facility reimbursement rate (case specific) plus a 15% markup plus the HCRA tax. On occasion the markup is removed for indigent patients.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT PART VI As noted, the full length Community Service Prevention Plan (and an 8 page summary), including the most recent Needs Assessment, can be found on the hospital's website. The Infirmary examined distinct constituencies examining both their short-term and long-term specialty care health needs. The hospital worked with seven community groups and local governmental authorities, including Manhattan Community Board #3 in developing the needs assessment. 2010 US Census data were utilized in addition to NYC DOH Community Health Profiles to assess the health care need of the local community we serve.
PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE PART VI As detailed in Section V: Information is made available to approximately 250,000 outpatients and 1,000 inpatients each year. Public programs such as Child Health Plus, Medicaid EPIC (the drug prescription program) as well as our own fee discounts. As noted, this material is disseminated in information available in documents: A. sent to the NYS DOH B. posted on our website C. on-site for patients and community members, and D. in an eight page charity care policy and a one page summary-available in four languages-Spanish, Russian, Chinese and English-the only languages spoken by more than 1% of our patients. Three full-time Medicaid enrollment counselors are also available on premises. There are three full-time employees in the admitting department in addition to an assistant manager whose sole responsibility is to assist patients upon arrival and make known to them their potential eligibility for financial assistance.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION PART VI This specialty care institution sees patients from the entire metropolitan area but the clinics focus on Manhattan's most needy living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan (60% Medicaid, no pay, self-pay). The local neighborhoods are multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES PART VI NYEEI is involved in a wide array of over 30 annual activities to promote the health of the local community. These range from specialty missions, to Glaucoma Education Week, World Voice Screening Day, head and neck cancer and macular degeneration support groups, assisted in producing a 'Going Blind' documentary, wellness fairs, an audiology Day, free strabismus and cataract surgery for orphans, asthma awareness screenings and counseling, an Eye Smart Campaign, among many others. We continue to further our exempt purpose by our extensive community affairs program including community benefit activities and community building programs detailed elsewhere in this Schedule H. We have one of the strongest volunteer programs of any hospital in NYC (more than 300 per annum) helping to train and place them in the job world-some at the NYEEI. There are five separate programs dealing with sheltered workshops and developmentally and physically challenged young persons in our community. The Infirmary is renowned for its volunteer and outreach programs. We worked with over 20 different not-for-profit groups in this regard in 2011. Our teaching programs are legendary. We involved many staff AND community members in our emergency preparedness operations (preparations, drills, and use of supplies) in 2011. We work closely with the NY Blood Center on blood and plasma donations every year. The NYEEI Ear Institute's community programs are particularly outstanding. In 2011 122 separate clinical trials were approved by the Institutional Review Board-established to fully inform and protect the rights of patients. Our pharmacy department received national recognition for the Drug Safety "Look alike Sound-alike" (LASA) campaign started here in 2010.
EXPLANATION OF HOW ORGANIZATION FURTHERS ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE PART VI ANOTHER MAJOR COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITY IS OUR ONGOING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM. IN 2011, EMPLOYEES SPENT APPROXIMATELY 890 HRS A. STAFF REGULARLY PARTICIPATES IN A VARIETY ON COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES PER THE ATTACHED SCHEDULES. IN 2011, THESE INCLUDED; BLOOD DRIVES, SHELTERED WORKSHOP TRAINING FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED YOUTH, HOLIDAY CLOTHING DRIVE, VOLUNTEER MISSIONS ART THERAPY FOR PEDIATRIC GLAUCOMA PATIENTS, ASSEMBLYMAN KAVANAGH HEALTH FAIR, GLAUCOMA SUPPORT & EDUCATION GROUP, ALLERGY AWARENESS AT HEALTH FAIR, HEAD & NECK CANCER SUPPORT GROUP, MACULAR DEGENERATION SUPPORT GROUP, MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS, NY ONCOLOGY CLINIC CHILDREN'S DAY, PATIENT SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK, RECRUITMENT FOR UVEITIS SUPPORT GROUP, SUPERVISE MINORITY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM, VOLUNTEERS IN LOCAL HOMELESS SHELTERS, HARD OF HEARING DAY AT METS/CITIFIELD, WORKING WOMEN'S HEALTH & WELLNESS FAIR, WORLD VOICE DAY SCREENING EYE SMART CAMPAIGN; DIABETES EDUCATION LOOK ALIKE/SOUND ALIKE DRUG SAFETY INITIATIVE MISSION FOR FREE CATARACT SURGERY, VASCULAR BIRTHMARKS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM, VASCULAR EYE DISEASE FOR OPTOMETRISTS GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT, HOME VISITS TO ELDERLY & HOMEBOUND, FREE STRABISMUS & CATARACT SURGERY TO ORPHANS, STREAMING OPHTHALMOLOGY GRAND ROUNDS TO ALL INTERESTED, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES; HEARING LOSS EDUCATION.

THE GREATEST NEED IDENTIFIED BY THE MANY CONSTITUENCIES OF THE NEW YORK EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY IS FOR EXPERT, SPECIALIZED INFORMATION TO PROTECT THEIR VISION AND HEARING. IN RESPONSE TO THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, NUMEROUS COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS AND SCREENINGS WERE CONDUCTED IN 2011. F. MORE THAN 131 CLINICAL TRIALS ARE UNDERWAY ANNUALLY AT THE NEW YORK EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY, AND A VITAL COMPONENT IS THE OUTREACH TO INFORM AND RECRUIT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM PARTICIPATION IN STATE-OF-THE-ART CLINICAL TRIALS ON THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF OCULAR AND OTOLARYNGOLOGICAL DISEASE, BLINDNESS, DEAFNESS OR HEAD AND NECK CANCERS (SEE EARLIER COMMUNITY BENEFIT RESEARCH SCHEDULE). G. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND ENVIORNMENTAL UPGRADES - $348,122 expended in 2011 for Community Benefit--environmental and community emergency preparedness was comprised of: 1. Community Sharps Program. Drop off for used needles from community residents in a secure location (attended); Collected needles to secure sharps containers. 2. Clean Air/Smoking Abatement Program. Compliance with a new law mandating that smokers must be at least 15 ft. away from any hospital door. Created signage for this new program to protect the staff and the public. 3.

AFFILATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ROLES AND PROMOTION PART VI The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary is part of Continuum Health Partners, Inc.,(CHP) a nonprofit hospital system currently comprised of four historically distinguished New York City hospitals- Beth Israel, Roosevelt, St. Luke's and the NYEEI. The combined system delivers inpatient care through nearly 3,100 certified beds located in seven major facilities in Manhattan and Brooklyn, while providing outpatient care in office practice settings and ambulatory centers in four counties. This collaboration makes available an extraordinary array of resources. Together, the members of CHP are superbly equipped to identify and respond to the multiple health-related needs of diverse populations in patient- and physician-friendly environments. Continuum's goal is to enhance each member institution's ability to fulfill its mission. NYEE's mission is to provide highest quality diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, head & neck and breast reconstruction. The vast majority of the care here is provided on an outpatient basis. While each hospital remains a separate legal entity, with its own assets, liabilities, licenses, books and records, the Infirmary works with its partners collaboratively to improve services to the community. A few examples follow: a. The Infirmary and Beth Israel have developed a Vestibular Rehabilitation Service which is now located at the Infirmary's Ear Institute. b. Infirmary physicians refer radiation therapy cases to Beth Israel. This has resulted in an excellent service and a superior joint tumor board. c. The Infirmary and Beth Israel jointly recruited a superb neuro-radiologist from NYU. The Infirmary refers all MRI, special radiation cases and invasive radiology studies to Beth Israel. d. Through our Chief of Oculoplasty, the Infirmary manages the ophthalmology resident program at St. Luke's-Roosevelt. We also have joint grand rounds including interactive streaming video conferencing and provide ENT residents to Beth Israel and other opportunities for observation of complicated, unusual and interesting cases. e. An NYEE Attending now coordinates ophthalmology at BIMC with the Infirmary providing coverage for their ED and inpatient consults, educational collaboration and outpatient referrals. f. A merger of the two institutions' cochlear programs at the Infirmary's new Ear Institute. g. The Infirmary sends all of our breast pathology, specimens, and biopsies to Beth Israel. Our director of breast surgery at NYEE now also participates in tumor board, grand rounds and related matters with the Beth Israel Cancer Center. h. The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and Director of Quality participate in CHP-wide committees on the coordination and standardization of quality measures in all CHP hospitals. The CMO and the Director of Quality also participate in the CHP Executive Committee for Quality. i. NYEE-CHP collaboration on "Live Well New York" promoting health and wellness in all of NYC. j. Retinal specialist in Ophthalmology Faculty Practice at NYEE discussed diabetes-related vision loss. k. NYEE clinical audiologist presented at Phillips Ambulatory Care Center (CHP),Union Square, "Why Hearing Loss Happens." l. Multi-disciplinary collaboration at new Facial Nerve Disorders Center. m. CHP-wide service lines for both EYE and ENT are managed administratively by NYEE and the institution acts as the exclusive provider for eye care within the system. NYEE eye residents cover the BI consult service, emergency room and provide on-call services. In turn, consults from BIMC are utilized for infectious disease, urology, pulmonology coverage and neurology cases. In 2011 NYEE established a relationship with the BI Outpatient Psychiatric Dept. All these initiatives to integrate administrative, clinical, educational and research resources throughout CHP help facilitate collaborative, community benefit activities. In 2011 these included: Attendings from Beth Israel & St. Luke's Roosevelt joining together on an eye mission, Joint patient safety activities, Support for the NYEE Look-alike, Sound-alike (LASA) drug safety initiative, Audiology Day, cochlear implant courses for parents and professionals, Local health fair on 15th St. at the NYC Health Studies HS., Community emergency preparedness activities, coordinating the response of all CHP partners during disaster alerts and city-wide emergencies from terrorist activities to subway may involve large numbers of casualty incidents. We coordinate the manpower needs during these emergencies (e.g., 9/11), by making available beds, physicians and other medical personnel, a BI Blood Drive at the Infirmary. Because we are not a general acute care hospital and focus on EYE and ENT activities, the vast majority of our activities promoting the health of the communities we serve are independent of CHP. We participate jointly with Beth Israel Hospital, a CHP member, in the more global community activities such as the Union Square Partnership and the Lower East Side Health Care Coalition (both institutions have representatives on the Boards of both).
