| Form 990, Part IV, Line 20a | Schedule H Part VI, Line 2, continued. The Payor Mix: By identifying customers, CVRMC is able to determine to whom services are provided. This information is invaluable for the strategic planning and management of the hospital in regards to new services and/or the addition of new providers. The payor mix also provides valuable information regarding the mix of services needed, education programs, new outreach programs, and future demands. The payor mix is also a very good indicator of the socioeconomic structure of the community, allowing CVRMC to tailor programs to better meet the community needs. Medical Staff Development Plan: The approach used to project physician need for Cobre Valley Regional Medical Centers service area included the following: Defining the CVRMC service area and market share by service area and service line; Projecting the service areas population growth and characteristics for the next five years; Taking into account competition and other local circumstances such as in-migration and out-migration; Developing a profile of the current medical staff including number, FTE, specialty, age, activity; and, Identifying an appropriate demand model from among the available physician need estimation tools. Utilizing the above information, estimates are developed projecting the number of physicians by specialty required to serve the CVRMC service region. Methods used to project physician need include: demographics and population The source for the population is the Claritas Update Demographics (CUD) product. Estimates are data prepared for the current year and projections are prepared for dates five years in the future. The CUD is brought up to date each year for many geographic levels including national, state, county, town, census tract and block group. Data is also available for commonly used areas as metropolitan areas, ZIP Codes, and other media areas. Because it is produced for small areas, the update can be easily aggregated to custom geographic areas specified by the user. Provider Supply: Provider supply is provided by CVRMC management. Much of the physician information is obtained by medical staff rosters and the survey responses. The information gathered for the provider supply is the provider name, specialty, town in which they practice, office days and times, birth date, and any information about their practice. The office days and times are used to calculate a provider full-time equivalent (FTE). Provider Demand The two models used to determine provider demand and community need are: Population Based Model which is obtained by multiplying Thomson Reuters physician to population ratios by the population of the service area and Productivity Based Model which provides data on current and projected physician resources required within a defined market.Service Area Definition: A service area definition takes into consideration multiple factors including patient origin, market share, population and geography. The service area is defined as the geographic area from which a health care facility draws at least 75% of its patients and in which it maintains a considerable share of the health care market. The first step in defining CVRMCs service area is identification of the communities from which the hospital draws 75% of patients, and to assess the hospitals market share in each of these communities. The service area was then divided into two service areas: Primary and Secondary. Three ZIP Codes have been identified as CVRMCs primary service area and five Zip Codes comprise the secondary service area. Out Migration Data: CVRMC is located 85 miles southeast of the largest metropolitan area in Arizona. The cities of Phoenix, Mesa, and Tempe are the out migration areas patients of the CVRMC service area sometimes choose for health care services. Out migration data is provided by the HealthTech Strategic Planning department in the Environmental Assessment and Market Share Report. Two data sources are used: 1. Population trends are another determination for needs assessment. Population trends by ZIP Code are provided for the primary and secondary service areas of CVRMC as well as population trends by age. As the population trends increase or decrease and healthcare needs change with age, it is definitely something to consider when strategically planning for future needs. 2. Demographic snapshots are also provided by the report for each of the service areas that reflect various characteristics, including education, household income, and ethnicity. These are important factors to consider when establishing marketing and public relations messages. Those in CVRMCs primary and secondary service areas are primarily White and Hispanic; have a lower percentage than the U.S. with a high school degree, and a higher percentage than the U.S. with lower incomes. Diagnosis-Related Groups Groups of patients tend to have common demographic, diagnostic, and therapeutic attributes that determine their health care needs. Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) form a manageable, clinically coherent set of patient classes relating CVRMCs case mix to the resource demands and the associated costs experienced by the hospital. Database of Admissions Queries of the CVRMC Admissions database are a quick analytical source for determining the major health issues of the region. From this information education, prevention, and intervention can be determined and implemented in community benefit programs or released to other regional health organizations for tracking and trending the impact of their programs within the region. Case Management, Discharge Planning, and Social Work: Through case management, discharge planning, and social work provided by CVRMC, data is generated by specific diagnosis related groups. |
| Form 990, Part IV, Line 20b | Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 continued. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: 1 Uninsured - Status to be verified through state websites or other third party eligibility systems 2 Citizenship- Individuals must be U.S. citizens 2a. Patients who are not legal U.S. citizens are not eligible for Financial Assistance. However, they are encouraged to inquire about emergency health care services through the Federal Emergency Services Program (FESP) provided by AHCCCS. Patients who do not meet the qualifications of this program will be able to receive the Self-Pay discount. 3 Federal Poverty Level - The applicants household income must be at or below 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/14poverty.cfm) 4 Homeless - Individuals without a payment source may be classified as eligible for Financial Assistance if it is determined that they do not have a job, mailing address, residence, or insurance. Consideration must also be given to classifying emergency room patients who do not provide adequate information as to their financial status. In many instances, these patients are homeless and have few resources to cover the cost of their care. 5 Bankruptcy - Individuals who are in bankruptcy or recently completed bankruptcy may be eligible for Financial Assistance. 6 Special circumstances - In rare occasions, a patients individual circumstances may be such that while they do not meet the regular Financial Assistance criteria in this policy, they do not have the ability to pay his/her Hospital bill. In these situations, with the approval of the CVRMC CEO/CFO, part or all of their cost of care may be written off. There must be complete documentation of why the decision was made to do so and why the patient did not meet the regular criteria. 7 Deceased patients without an estate or third party coverage will be eligible for financial assistance. DETERMINATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY Financial assistance will be determined through an individual assessment of financial need, including an application process in which the patient or the patients guarantor is required to cooperate and submit all documentation necessary to make the determination of financial need; a reasonable effort by the CVRMC to explore and assist patients in applying for appropriate alternative sources of payment and coverage from public and private payment programs; and will take into account the patients assets and other financial resources. It is preferred but not required that a request for financial assistance and a determination of financial need occur prior to rendering of medically necessary services. The need for financial assistance shall be re-evaluated at each subsequent rendering of medically necessary services, if the last financial evaluation was completed more than one hundred eighty days prior, and at any time additional information relevant to the eligibility of the patient for financial assistance becomes known. The granting of financial assistance shall be based on an individualized determination of financial need, and shall not take into account age, gender, race, socioeconomic, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. In determining whether each individual qualifies for Financial Assistance, only those patient billings not covered by other county or governmental assistance programs should also be considered. Many applicants are not aware that they may be eligible for assistance such as AHCCCS or other government or private funded programs. Persons eligible for programs such as AHCCCS but whose eligibility status is not established for the period during which the medical services were rendered may be granted Financial Assistance for those services. CVRMC may make the granting of Financial Assistance contingent upon applying for governmental program assistance. This may be prudent, especially if the patient requires ongoing services. EXCLUSIONS 1. This policy and the Financial Assistance Program do not apply to the portion of charges an insured patient is personally responsible for, i.e., co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles, and does not apply to elective procedures except as may be determined in the sole discretion of CVRMC on a case-by-case basis.

It is the applicants responsibility to provide proof of household income and/or any other information provided on the application as requested by the Hospital. 3. The applicant is required to submit all information required on the financial assistance application form including, but not limited to, the following information: Copy of AHCCCS denial letter (May be waived on a case by case basis) Copies of pay stubs for the last 2 pay periods; Number of dependents claimed on tax return Copies of bills showing expenses 4. Failure to provide this information will result in an incomplete application, which may result in the individual being denied assistance under this Policy. 5. Completed applications shall be returned to the Patient Accounts Billing Department within the Application Period. All eligible applications will be processed within 30 calendar days. PUBLICATION OF POLICY 1 This Policy, an application, a plain language summary of the Policy, and any notices or publications regarding the Policy will be made available on the Hospitals website in pdf form. 2 The Policy, applications, and plain language summaries shall be available upon request, without charge at the Patient Accounts/Billing Department and by mail, upon request. 3 A plain language summary shall be conspicuously displayed in Hospital patient waiting areas and in the Patient Accounts/Billing Department in a manner that is reasonably calculated to attract visitors attention. 4 A plain language summary of this Policy and a copy of the financial assistance application will be provided to all patients upon admission or registration at the Hospital or Clinics. ACTIONS THAT MAY BE TAKEN IN EVENT OF NONPAYMENT OR INSUFFICIENT PAYMENT 1. Accounts for hospital services for patients who are able, but unwilling, to pay are considered uncollectible bad debts and will be referred to outside agencies for collections. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 1. In implementing this policy, CVRMC management and CVRMC facilities shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations that may apply to activities conducted pursuant to this policy. ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 1. CVRMC will track and monitor Financial Assistance care being granted and will account for the write-offs as a separate Deduction from the Revenue general ledger account. RECORDKEEPING 1. Records relating to potential Financial Assistance applicants must be readily available. CVRMC will maintain a spreadsheet of all applicants and final disposition. 2. Notes relating to the Financial Assistance application and approval or denial should be entered on the patients account. APPLICATION OF POLICY 1.
