Identifier	ReturnReference	Explanation
Part I line 6a		The Community Benefit Report for Rush University Medical Center RUMC is a separate report prepared by Rush. Rush prepares and files the Annual Non-Profit Community Benefit Plan Report with the Attorney Generals Office of the State of Illinois which includes Rush University Medical Center and Rush Oak Park Hospital. For the purpose of Schedule H, only financial information for Rush University Medical Center is reported. There is no data included for Rush Oak Park Hospital.
Part I line 7		The calculation of the ratio of patient cost to charges was calculated utilizing RUMCs 2012 As-Filed Medicare Cost Report and follows the format based on Worksheet 2 of the Instructions to Schedule H. Medicare revenues and costs were extracted from the FY12 As-Filed Medicare Cost report.
Part I line 7		Part I, Line 7g -- RUMC has included subsidized costs attributable to physician clinics totaling 122,091,868.
Part I line 7		Part I, Line 7, Column F -- Total expenses reported on Form 990, Part IX, line 25, column A include bad debt expense. However, for the purposes of Schedule H this expense has been removed from the denominator when calculating the percent of total expense considered the net community benefit expense and reported on Part I, Line 7, column f. The amount of bad debt expense excluded from this percentage calculation is 45,189,158.
Part III line 4		The cost for the total bad debt provision of 45,189,158 was calculated using the cost to charge ratio described above. Rush does not have a footnote in the financial statements that describes bad debt expense. However, Rush provides a significant amount of uncompensated care to uninsured and underinsured patients, which is reported as provision for bad debts. During FY12, Rushs reported provision for bad debts was a total of 45,189,158. The Rush provision combined with the Rush University Medical Group RUMG provision of 7,895,058 equates to 13,409,004 at cost based on an overall cost to charge ratio
Part III line 8		The calculation of the ratio of patient cost to charges was calculated utilizing RUMCs 2012 As-Filed Medicare Cost Report and follows the format based on Worksheet 2 of the Instructions to Schedule H. Medicare revenues and costs were extracted from the FY12 As-Filed Medicare Cost report. There is no reported Medicare shortfall.
Part III line 9b		In keeping with RUMCs mission to provide comprehensive, coordinated health care services to our patients, Rush offers several financial assistance programs to help patients with their hospital bill. If Rush is aware that a patient qualifies for financial assistance, these accounts will not be referred to a collection agency. It is the policy of RUMC to offer patients a payment plan and/or charity assistance when it becomes known that a patient needs financial assistance. RUMC works with patients to help determine if there are any third party payers which may be available to help the patient meet their obligations. RUMC works with patients to determine if they qualify for one of a handful of state and federal programs such as the states Medical Assistance Program or the Social Security Disability program and RUMC has specialists on site who assist patients with the application process.
Part III line 9b		In the discussion of the RUMCs provision of charity care to our patient population there are several factors which must be considered in addition to the charity care number provided for purposes of Schedule H to obtain a full understanding of the breadth of charity provided by Rush. These factors are outlined as follows
Part III line 9b		Through utilization of a patient eligibility service RUMC is extremely proactive in enrolling patients who arrive at RUMC without insurance coverage into various state and federal programs that provide health insurance coverage. The maintenance of this service for our patients has a significant impact on decreasing the amount of charity care provided. In addition to achieving appropriate, available coverage for our patients medical services, this eligibility service also obtains eligibility for SSI or SSA benefits for applicable patients. Guiding the patient through this often time consuming and arduous process is extremely beneficial to the patient, as once SSI/SSA eligibility is approved, the patient will begin receiving a monthly assistance check that provides a benefit well beyond their health care at RUMC.
Part III line 9b		Due to the process that RUMC and other hospitals must facilitate to prove a patients eligibility for discounted or free care, the precise amount of charity care often can be indistinguishable from other categories of uncompensated care. Without the cooperation of the patient in providing appropriate documentation, Rush cannot correctly distinguish patients who meet the defined charity care policies and appropriately categorize those individuals as charity care write-offs. Instead, these patient cases are frequently classified as bad debt write-offs due to a lack of support information. This creates a reported charity care amount that is not representative of the true amount of free care provided to low income and indigent patients.
Part III line 9b		During FY2012, RUMC provided discounts to uninsured patients of 26,644,615. These discounts are not included in Schedule H.
Part V		Line 13g -- A summary of the policy is posted. on RUMCs website, in the emergency room and in the admissions offices.
Part V		Line 19d -- Discounts for Limited Income Rush assists families with limited incomes, defined as annual income less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level FPL, who are eligible for a write-off of up to 70 percent of their bill.
Part V		Line 19d -- Discounts for Self-Pay Patients Rush offers an automatic 68 percent discount for residents of Illinois who do not have a health insurance plan. Non Illinois residents who do not have health insurance automatically qualify for a 50 percent discount. For patients who cannot pay their portion of the bill at the time of service, financial counselors work closely with them to set up monthly installment payment plans with no interest at an amount with which the patient is comfortable.
Part V		Line 19d -- State and Federal Programs This service focuses on providing patients who arrive at Rush without insurance with the coverage they are entitled to under various federal and state programs. Financial counselors work with patients and alert them if they qualify for one of a handful of programs such as the state Medical Assistance Non-Grant MANG program or the Social Security Disability program SSDI. Because the paperwork required for these programs can be overwhelming, Rush has specialists on site who assist patients with the application process. Through these efforts, we have qualified individuals for a social security disability who are not age 65, while at the same time ensuring payment for their hospital bill. Rush maintained a patient-eligibility service throughout FY2012 at a cost of 439K.
Part V		Line 19d -- Payment plans If requested, interest-free payment plans are available to patients. Payments can be made over at most, 24 months with a minimum payment of 25.00 each month. Rush does not assess interest on unpaid balances.
Part V		Line 19d -- Presumptive Charity Care Rush uses an outside service for its financial assistance programs to validate patients ability to pay, and in the event that patients do not contact us or apply for financial assistance, we may extend charity care for that episode of care. This applies only to patients who do not inform us of insurance coverage.
Part V		Line 19d -- Paid in Full Charity Care Patients qualify for the Rush Charity Care program if their income level is at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty level. That means that individuals qualify if they earn less than 69,150 and are supporting a family of four. These patients are eligible for a full write-off of their bill.
Part VI Line 2		As an academic medical center, RUMC performs many community benefit activities in neighborhoods within and surrounding the Illinois Medical District IMD and throughout the Chicago area. For the purposes of this plan, the federally required Community Health Needs Assessment and future planning initiatives, RUMCs defined service area consists of communities surrounding the hospital identified through a patient origin zip code analysis. The RUMC service area is comprised of seven zip codes which include the Chicago community areas of Near West Side, Lower West Side, West Town, East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park, North Lawndale, and South Lawndale. These geographical areas encompass the location of the medical center as well as the locations of sites for a significant number of community outreach efforts.
Part VI Line 2		The Science and Math Excellence SAME Network supports educational efforts in Chicago Public Schools across the City in more than 40 schools. In addition, RUMCs financial assistance policies apply to all RUMC patients.
Part VI Line 2		Chicago, like any large urban city, surveys the health services it provides to its citizens. The Chicago Department of Public Health CDPH established a strategic planning process aimed to focus the energies of the department, set organizational priorities and guide the allocation of public health resources.
Part VI Line 2		Many of RUMCs community benefits activities align with CDPHs strategic priorities such as health promotion and prevention of chronic disease, promoting access to services, and ensuring Chicago is prepared to quickly and effectively respond to public health emergencies and epidemics. Following a community needs assessment in FY2008, Rush initiated a formal planning process in FY2009 to ensure that future community benefits efforts aligned with the needs of the community. The resulting Community Benefits Plan helped to focus our strengths and available resources on programs that improve and promote the physical, educational and economic health of our communities.
Part VI Line 2		To further our efforts to identify and address the existing health needs within our community, RUMC is developing its first Community Health Needs Assessment CHNA and corresponding implementation plan as required by the Internal Revenue Service in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. Expected completion date is June 2013. A copy of the CHNA will be available online.
Part VI Line 3		In keeping with RUMCs mission to provide comprehensive, coordinated health care services to our patients, RUMC offers several financial assistance programs to help patients with their hospital bill.
Part VI Line 3		Through utilization of a patient eligibility service RUMC is extremely proactive in enrolling patients, who present for service without insurance coverage, for coverage under various state and federal programs. The maintenance of this service for our patients has a significant impact on decreasing the amount of charity care provided. In addition to achieving appropriate, available coverage for our patients medical services, this eligibility service also obtains eligibility for SSI or SSA benefits for applicable patients. Guiding the patient through this often time-consuming and arduous process is extremely beneficial to the patient, as once SSI/SSA eligibility is approved, the patient will begin receiving a monthly assistance check which provided a benefit well beyond their health care at RUMC.
Part VI Line 3		To assist the patient in deciding which is the right program for them, RUMC offers the services of Financial Counselors and Billing Customer Service Representatives. These individuals will assist patients in completion of financial application forms, obtaining an estimated cost of anticipated hospital services, providing an explanation and copy of their hospital bill, and notary services. RUMC makes all financial assistance information and policies available on the hospitals website.
Part VI Line 4		As state earlier, as an academic medical center, RUMC performs many community benefit activities in neighborhoods within and surrounding the Illinois Medical District IMD and throughout the Chicago area. For the purposes of this plan, the federally required Community Health Needs Assessment and future planning initiatives, RUMCs defined service area consists of communities surrounding the hospital identified through a patient origin zip code analysis. The RUMC service area is comprised of seven zip codes which include the Chicago community areas of Near West Side, Lower West Side, West Town, East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park, North Lawndale, and South Lawndale. These geographical areas encompass the location of the medical center as well as the locations of sites for a significant number of community outreach efforts.
Part VI Line 5		RUMC provides a full range of medical services to the community including an emergency department that is never closed and is open to everyone regardless of their ability to pay as well as numerous services that operate at a loss. While the emergency department is a key driver of providing care to the uninsured in a hospital setting, RUMC continues to emphasize primary and preventive care for uninsured individuals and families.
Part VI Line 5		This approach relies on the services provided within physician clinics at RUMC as well as the community service projects operated by patient care staff. In this way, RUMC hopes to have an impact on the health of patients before they get to the point of visiting the emergency department.
Part VI Line 5		To ensure that RUMC is delivering on its patient care mission to the diverse communities of Chicago, RUMC incurred 1.2 million in costs to maintain a staff of Spanish language interpreters and to supply other-language and sign language interpreter services. These financial commitments are critical to facilitating accessibility of patient care to the diverse communities of the Chicago area.
Part VI Line 5		As a not-for-profit organization, RUMC reinvests any excess revenue after paying expenses back into our institution in order to provide care for patients. A significant part of this reinvestment includes supporting services that benefit patients free care for patients who qualify under our charity care program and care for patients whose government insurance does not pay all of our costs and critical medical services that operate at a financial loss but are necessary for the communitys overall health. As an academic medical center, RUMC subsidizes health and medical research to improve patient care, now and for future generations by covering expenses not funded by private or government grants. We also subsidize the education and training of the next generation of doctors, nurses and other allied health care professionals whose tuition and grants do not fully cover the associated costs. Additionally, we fund a variety of vital outreach programs that address the specific health needs of our community and beyond.
Part VI Line 5		RUMC is committed to providing programs to educate and train the health care workforce of the future. It is widely recognized that workforce demands in health care will rapidly escalate as the U.S. population ages. To help meet this need, RUMC trains future physicians, nurses and allied health professionals. During FY2012, RUMC provided 45.1 million in unreimbursed costs to maintain these education programs. It is an essential part of RUMCs corporate mission that education programs continue to receive this operational support in order to supply highly trained physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals to RUMC and to the larger health care community.
Part VI Line 5		RUMC is committed to advancing medical care through translational research that aims to bring advances and improvements gained in research as rapidly as possible to the bedside of patients. Investigators at RUMC are involved in numerous clinical studies to test the effectiveness and safety of new therapies and medical devices as well as many basic research studies designed to expand scientific and medical knowledge. Like the academic affiliation between RUMC and Stroger Hospital, there is similar collaboration within research activities. Joint research projects in basic science, clinical science and services, and epidemiology look for new ways to improve the health of vulnerable communities and bridge the widening gaps in the health care system. As an academic medical center, RUMC brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences to uncover new advances in patient care. In this way, RUMC acts as an incubator for noteworthy breakthroughs in medicine.
Part VI Line 5		In addition to dedicating resources to patient care, education and research activities, RUMC has historically placed emphasis on community service activities and relationships with other health care organizations. During FY2012, RUMC provided over 5.1 million in other community benefits programs and over 3.4 million in volunteer time for various community outreach activities.
Part VI Line 6		RUMC has an affiliation with Rush Oak Park Hospital. Rush Oak Park Hospital ROPH is a Catholic community hospital consisting of 296 beds located in Oak Park, Illinois and affiliated with RUMC in Chicago, IL and Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, Inc., in Wheaton, IL. The affiliation between RUMC and Rush Oak Park Hospital provides patients with access to advanced medical treatments without having to leave their neighborhoods. ROPH is committed to balancing clinical excellence with compassionate care and greater community outreach programs in order to provide a lifetime of care for individuals and their entire family. For the purposes of Schedule H, only financial information for RUMC is reported. There is no data included for Rush Oak Park Hospital.
