Number of Hospital Faciltiy - 1 Part V, Line 17e - Other Collection Actions by Facility or Third Party Engaged ACCIDENT LIABILITY CASE LIENS FILED AGAINST FUTURE SETTLEMENT IN CASES INVOLVING THIRD-PARTY LIABILITY.
Number of Hospital Faciltiy - 1 Part V, Line 7 - Explanation of Needs Not Addressed and Reasons Why Following the completion of thorough process designed to comply with the requirements of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including research, individual interviews with stakeholders, and receipt of the survey results, a Community Health Needs Assessment Team consisting of hospital representatives and the Executive Director of the local Health District reviewed all results identified and prioritized eight (8) specific health needs. Working with the consultants from Community Hospital Consulting, the team identified actions to address those needs and developed implementation plans FOR Seven (7) of the eight (8) needs identified. The eighth identified need, increasing access to affordable dental care, was not addressed as it was deemed not a core business function of the health system.
Number of Hospital Faciltiy - 1 Part V, Line 4 - List Other Hospital Facilities that Jointly Conducted Needs Assessment The Community Health Needs Assessment was conducted to include all four (4) facilities which comprise Memorial Health System of East Texas: (1) Memorial Medical Center of East Texas (Lufkin), (2) Memorial Medical Center Livingston, (3) Memorial Medical Center San Augustine, and (4) Memorial Specialty Hospital.
Number of Hospital Faciltiy - 1 Part V, Line 3 - Account Input from Person Who Represent the Community Interview Methodology- Memorial Health System of East Texas provided CHC Consulting with a list of people with special knowledge of Angelina, Polk and San Augustine Counties including public health representatives, not-for-profit organization professionals, charities and other individuals who focus specifically on underrepresented groups.- From that list, 21 in depth interviews were conducted using a structured interview guide. In order to further quantify the data, a follow up survey was sent to the list of 21 with the option to forward the survey on to others.- Extensive notes were taken during each interview and then quantified based on responses, communities and populations (minority, elderly, un/underinsured, etc.)served, and priorities identified by respondents. Qualitative data from the interviews was also analyzed and reported. Survey Construction, Distribution, and Collection- An electronic survey was constructed using Survey Monkey(TM) software in order to gather opinions and input of those with special knowledge regarding the health needs and priorities of the study area.- The survey was restricted so that respondents could only complete the survey once per computer to protect the integrity of the data.- The survey was initially distributed to the 21 interviewees. Recipients were allowed to forward the survey to other stakeholders in the community. The survey remained open for approximately one month.- Responses were quantified and analyzed for reporting purposes, including any free-form comments. Interviewee list- Tina Battise, Deputy Administrator, Alabama-Coushatta Tribe- Deborah Walters, RN, Director, Case Management and Social Work, MHSET- Marilyn Kegler, Director of Nurses, Lufkin ISD- Marshall McMillan, Member, MMC-San Augustine Board of Directors, Chair, Boys and Girls Club of San Augustine- John L.

  Part III, Line 9b - Provisions On Collection Practices For Qualified Patients AS SOON AS SUFFICIENT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE CONCERNING THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND ELIGIBILITY FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, A DETERMINATION IS MADE CONCERNING THE PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY. NO COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE PURSUED ON A CHARITY ACCOUNT AFTER SUCH DETERMINATION IS MADE.
  Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community Benefit THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT THE SHORTFALL SHOWN ON LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. IN THE HOSPITAL'S ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT FILED WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST APPLICABLE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A PART OF THE DETERMINATION THAT A HOSPITAL MEETS THE STATE'S REQUIREMENT THAT THE COST OF PROVIDING CHARITY CARE IS EQUAL TO AT LEAST 5% OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD FOR NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS, STATES THAT IF A HOSPITAL SERVES PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS, INCLUDING MEDICARE, THEN THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.THE SHORTFALL AMOUNT WAS DETERMINED BY USING THE COST INFORMATION SHOWN ON THE 2012 "COST REPORT" FILED WITH THE CENTERS OF MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS).
  Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT REPORT BAD DEBT EXPENSE (UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS) IN ACCORDANCE WITH HFMA STATEMENT NO. 15. THE HOSPITAL ACCOUNTS FOR ANY LOSSES ON ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE USING THE ALLOWANCE METHOD. THE HOSPITAL IS A MEMBER OF A SYSTEM WITH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUDITED BY BDK, LLP. THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:"ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTILBE ACCOUNTS."
  Part III, Line 3 - Methodology of Estimated Amount & Rationale for Including in Community Benefit THE AMOUNT SHOWN ON LINE 3 IS BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S ESTIMATE THAT 10% OF THE ACCOUNTS RECORDED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE WOULD HAVE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS CHARITY (COMMUNITY BENEFIT) HAD THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION BEEN OBTAINED. THIS ESTIMATE IS PRIMARILY BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE MEDIAN INCOME PER HOUSEHOLD OF THE COMMUNITY IS $39,325, THAT 18.4% OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS HAD INCOME BELOW THE POVERTY LIMIT AND THAT 51.47% OF GROSS PATIENT REVENUE WAS FROM OUTPATIENTS. REASONS WHY ADEQUATE INFORMATION WAS NOT OBTAINED INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: LANGUAGE BARRIERS WITH THE SPANISH SPEAKING POPULATION A PATIENT'S LACK OF UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE PROCESS AND WHERE TO FIND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED SOME PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO SUPPLY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION, SUCH AS INCOME TAX RETURN DATA LACK OF UNDERSTANDING ON THE PATIENT'S PART ABOUT HOW A CHARITY CLASSIFICATION RATHER THAN A BAD DEBT CLASSIFICATION MAY BENEFIT THEM
  Part III, Line 2 - Methodology Used To Estimate Bad Debt Expense THE AMOUNT SHOWN ON LINE 2 WAS DETERMINED BY USING THE COSTING METHODOLOGY DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 - "RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES". THE HOSPITAL ACCOUNTS FOR DISCOUNTS AS A DEDUCTION FROM GROSS PATIENT REVENUE AND WHERE APPLICABLE, PAYMENTS ON PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS AS DEDUCTIONS FROM UNCOLLECTIBLE (BAD DEBTS EXPENSE) ACCOUNTS.
