Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
CHARITABLE MISSION: BIG SANDY HEALTH CARE (BSHC) IS ORGANIZED AS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION AND AN EXEMPT ENTITY UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C)(3).BSHC OPERATES EXCLUSIVLY FOR THE CHARITABLE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO A LARGE NUMBER OF LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED PERSONS THROUGH ITS FIVE PRIMARY CARE CENTERS IN RURAL, SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY. BSHC'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA IS COMPRISED ON FLOYD, JOHNSON, MAGOFFIN, MARTIN AND PIKE COUNTIES. THE AREA IS RURAL AND ECONOMICALLY DISTRESSED. A DISPROPTIONATE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE NO HEALTH INSURNACE AND THE REGION'S MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY IS HIGH COMPARED TO STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGES. IN THIS CONTEXT, BSHC OFFERS CHARITABLE HEALTH CARE TO LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED PERSONS. AS PART OF ITS COMMITMENT TO ITS CHARITABLE MISSION, BSHC HAS INSTITUTED A CHARITY PROGRAM FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE SERVICES AT ITS FACILITIES. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES FINANCIAL RELIEF TO PERSONS WHO QUALIFY BASED ON A COMPARISON OF THEIR FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND/OR INCOME TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. SPECIFICALLY, THE PROGRAM ALLOWS FOR SLIDING- FEE SCALE ADJUSTMENTS FOR ANY PATIENT WHO RECEIVES SERVICES WHOSE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS AT OR BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY SERVICES, BSHC ASKS UNINSURED PATIENTS TO PATICIPATE IN A FINANCIAL EVALUATION AND TO PROVIDE INCOME VERIFICATION. BSHC THEN ASSIGNS UNINSURED PATIENTS TO A SELF-PAY CATEGORY, E.G., 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, OR 100%, AND CHARGES THE PATIENTS THE CORRESPONDING PORTION OF THE USUAL AND CUSTOMARY FEES FOR SERVICE. UNCOMPENSATED CARE: DURING FISCAL YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2014 BSHC PROVIDED HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO OVER 16,000 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS. OF THAT NUMBER, APPROXIMATELY 34% WERE UNINSURED AND RECEIVED SERVICES ON A SLIDING-FEE SCALE BASIS. BSHC CLASSIFIED THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS IN THE 20% SELF-PAY CATEGORY. SUBSEQUENTLY, BSHC CHARGED THESE PATIENTS ONLY 20% OF THE USUAL AND CUSTOMARY FEES AND WROTE-OFF THE BALANCE AS CHARITY SERVICE. BSHC MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT CHARITABLE SERVICE IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT INDICATORS OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE ORGANIZATIONS CHARITABLE PURPOSES AND, THEREFORE, FULLY IDENTIFIES AND DICLOSES THIS INFORMATION. IN FISCAL YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2014, BSHC'S SLIDING-FEE- SCALE ADJUSTMENTS TOTALED 2,447,847. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING 2,447,847 IN CHARITY SERVICE IN FISCAL YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2014, BSHC PROVIDED OTHER INTANGIBLE COMMUNITY BENEFITS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY SERVICE AND UNPAID COST OF MEDICAID SHORTFALLS. BSHC IS COMMITTED TO STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN IRS 501(C)(3). TOWARD THIS END, BSHC ENSURES THAT NONE OF ITS EARNINGS INURE TO ANY PRIVATE DIRECTOR OR OTHER INDIVIDUAL. FURTHERMORE, BSHC DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATION AS A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS ACTIVITIES. BSHC DOES NOT IN ANY MANNER PARTICIPATE IN CAMPAIGN ACTIVITY FOR OR AGAINST ANY POLITICAL CANDIDATE.
