Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C CHARITY CARE POLICY HOSPITAL PROVIDES EMERGENT AND MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES TO ALL PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE WRITTEN CHARITY CARE POLICY IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED AND COMMUNICATED TO THE COMMUNITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE AMOUNT OF FREE CARE PROVIDED IS DETERMINED BY FINANCIAL NEED AND IS NOT LIMITED BY BUDGETED AMOUNTS. PATIENTS EARNING LESS THAN 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES RECEIVE FREE CARE AND THOSE BETWEEN 300% AND 600% OF THE GUIDELINES RECEIVE DISCOUNTED CARE ON A SLIDING SCALE. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM LOOKS AT THE CURRENT INCOME AND THEN CALCULATES THE POTENTIAL BENEFIT. CONSISTENT WITH THE ILLINOIS UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNT ACT, PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A 64% DISCOUNT IF THEIR INCOME IS BETWEEN 300% AND 600% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. OF THE REMAINING BALANCE, THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS CAPPED AT 25% OF THE FAMILY'S ANNUAL INCOME.
PART I, LINE 6A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT hospital's community benefit activities are included in an annual report issued by northwest community healthcare, the sole corporate member of the hospital.
PART I, LINE 7 COSTING METHODOLOGY the following methodologies were used to determine the amounts reported in the table for line 7: part i, lines 7a - 7d, ratio of cost to charges as determined using worksheet 2 in the form 990, schedule h instructions. part i, lines 7e - 7i, costs were determined using the direct and indirect costs for specific programs or services. these costs were maintained / identified in hospital's "community benefit inventory for social accountability software" (cbisa). the indirect portion of these costs was calculated utilizing the indirect cost ratio from the hospitals latest available Medicare cost report. this "indirect" ratio was entered into cbisa for the calculation of indirect costs. part i, line 7g: subsidized health services hospital provides a mobile dental clinic program staffed by a hospital employed full time dentist, dental assistant and program manager. evidence based research demonstrates that gum disease and oral health problems are linked to other systemic medical problems such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and bacterial pneumonia, as well as increased risk of delivering pre-term or low birth-weight babies. the hospital, with financial support from local townships, provides preventative and restorative care to uninsured and underinsured members of the community 4-5 days per week in a traveling dental clinic. PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F: BAD DEBT EXPENSE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) THAT WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE CALCULATION OF THE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE WAS $11,085,099.
PART II COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES economic development hospital's vice president of professional services is a member and active participant of the arlington heights economic alliance. the purpose of the alliance is to provide the business community a strong partnership with the village and to promote a healthy business climate. the alliance is the village board's economic advisory committee on business issues. community support HOSPITAL provided support per the request of the cook county department of public health to assist with a salmonella outbreak at a local food distribution company. the hospital provided assistance with lab testing for employees of the company. coalition building HOSPITAL'S director of corporate accounting represents HOSPITAL through participation in the palatine rotary club in the hospital's primary service area. rotary club members are predominately business and professional leaders who come together to support organizations that address need and disparity in the community. areas addressed include homelessness, mental health issues, cancer, troubled youth, developmentally disabled, domestic violence and many more. workforce development HOSPITAL'S executive director of patient care services participated on the leadership board of the Illinois organization of nurse leaders (ionl). the purpose of ionl is to develop nursing leaders in all healthcare settings. ionl provides direction for achievement of excellence in nursing leadership. it promotes professional development, research and innovation for the advancement of THE nursing practice. ionl encourages development of care delivery systems that are forthright and visionary. the ionl develops strategic initiatives in the area of executive management expertise in healthcare systems. HOSPITAL also has programs to encourage high school students to explore careers in healthcare. the first program provides local high school students the opportunity to spend 14 weeks in the hospital shadowing 16 different departments. as the students rotate through the various departments they are exposed to an array of clinical fields, providing them with an in-depth look at just some of the many career tracks they could pursue. hospital also sponsors an annual healthcare career fair for two local high school districts. at the fair, leaders from various clinical departments provide a brief overview of their specialties, again providing the students with a closer look at potential career tracks they might like to pursue.
PART III, LINE 1 BAD DEBT EXPENSE hospital records bad debt expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (gaap). hfma statement 15 is followed to the extent that it aligns with the guidelines per gaap.
PART III, LINES 2-4 BAD DEBT EXPENSE HOSPITAL IS SENSITIVE TO THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF ITS PATIENTS AND RECOGNIZES THAT FAMILY FINANCIAL CONCERNS MAY NOT ALWAYS BE SHARED. AT TIMES, A PATIENT MAY BE RELUCTANT TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT BECAUSE OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, A PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE COULD REPRESENT PATIENTS THAT ARE UNABLE TO PAY AND MIGHT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, HOWEVER, ACCURATE DATA TO ESTIMATE THIS AMOUNT IS UNAVAILABLE. hospital is included in the audited financial statements of northwest community healthcare (nch) and subsidiaries. the text of the footnote referencing accounts receivable in the fy 2013 audit is as follows: "[nch] analyZes the allowance for uncollectible accounts quarterly using a hindsight calculation that utilizes write-off data for all payOr classes during the previous eighteen month period to estimate the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a point in time. the reserve percentages in the allowance for uncollectible accounts reserve change each month given changes in trends from these analyses or policy changes." accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for uncollectible accounts when they are deemed uncollectible. write-offs are shown net of contractuals and discounts. hospital's bad debt expense as reported on lines 2 and 3 was reported at remaining charges. for fy 2013, the hospital recorded provisions for bad debt expense of $11,085,099. in 2013, the hospital began using a financial tool to determine "presumptive eligibility" for charity care write-offs. this tool utilizes various criteria to help determine patients that would be eligible for financial assistance even if those patients have not completed a financial assistance application. it is believed that all patients who would qualify for charity have been identified and that little to none of the amounts written off as bad debt could be classified as charity as a result of the use of this new financial tool.
PART III, LINE 8 MEDICARE SHORTFALL the medicare shortfall reported in part iii, line 7 represents the excess cost of providing services to medicare beneficiaries over the payments received from the medicare program. access to quality healthcare is imperative for all medicare recipients, many of whom are living on a fixed income. as such, the costs absorbed by hospital in providing these services is a benefit to the members of the community we serve.
PART III, LINE 9B COLLECTION PRACTICES it is the policy of hospital to offer patients a payment plan or financial assistance when it becomes known or suspected that a patient needs such assistance. financial counselors contact and work with the patient or their family to help determine if there are any third party payers which may be available to help the patient meet their obligations, such as medicaid, cobra, workers compensation, or specialized grant programs. if no third party programs are identified, the financial counselors work with the patient to help them apply for charity discounts or payment plans. forms are available in english and spanish, and translation services are provided in many languages. in addition, all patient bills and statements include information about how to apply for financial assistance and the information is also posted on hospital's website. collection activity will be suspended during the consideration of a completed financial assistance application or an application for other healthcare bracket (i.e, medicare, medicaid, etc.). the patient's account may be suspended from collection activity until financial assistance can be determined. accounts in the financial assistance process will be monitored and, upon the decision to approve or deny financial assistance, the patient's account will be updated. if the financial assistance application is approved with a percentage less than 100% or denied, the patient's account will be noted and the hospital will resume the self-pay collection activity in compliance with its self pay follow-up procedures.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3 INPUT FROM REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT the hospital participated in a regional community health needs assessment (chna) offered by the metropolitan chicago healthcare council (mchc) in partnership with professional research consultants (prc). the chna gathered input from representatives of the community by conducting 30-minute telephone health surveys in english and spanish. 3,710 surveys were conducted in the region which consisted of cook, dupage and lake counties, with 325 in the hospitals immediate service area. careful consideration was taken to ensure that the demographics of those participating in the survey mirrored the demographics of the community. the survey instrument used for the study is based largely on the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) behavioral risk factor surveillance system (brfss), as well as various other public health surveys and customized questions addressing gaps in indicator data relative to health promotion and disease prevention objectives and other recognized health issues. the final survey instrument was developed by prc, with input from hospital and the other community sponsors. issues addressed included self-reported health status, physical health status, mental health status, death and disability, infection and chronic disease, births, children's health status, modifiable health risks, access to healthcare, health education and outreach, and health information sources. in order to gather input from persons with special knowledge of or expertise in public health, focus groups were held by prc in north cook county. participants included representatives from public health, physicians, and other health professionals, social service providers and other community leaders. the participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the populations with who they work, as well as of the community overall. participants included a representative of public health, as well as several individuals who work with low-income, minority or other medically underserved populations, and those who work with person with chronic disease conditions.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5C CHNA REPORT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC in addition to posting the chna on hospital's website (www.nch.org) and having copies available upon request, hospital also sent several press releases to local newspapers to inform the community that the report was available.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6I DESCRIPTION OF NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN CHNA REPORT hospital partners with many not for profit agencies, municipalities, and others to address community health needs identified in the chna. the hospital collaborates with a county health clinic and a federally qualified health center to address the need of improving access to primary and behavioral healthcare for uninsured and underinsured individuals. access to oral health care is addressed through a collaborative mobile dental clinic program that is operated by hospital with support of four local townships, university of chicago dental school, and professional volunteers. in addition, hospital works with local school districts, healthcare organizations, social service organizations and community organizations to address diabetes, nutrition, cancer and other healthcare needs. a complete list of partners is included in the hospitals implementation plan which is posted on the hospital's website (www.nch.org).
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7 DESCRIPTION OF NEEDS NOT IDENTIFIED IN CHNA REPORT in acknowledging the wide range of priority health issues that emerged from the chna process, hospital determined that it could only effectively focus on those which it deemed most pressing, most under-addressed, and most within its ability to influence. therefore, hospital selected the top five prioritized needs to focus its efforts and resources on. the only two needs not being addressed include chronic disease (such as arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis, and kidney disease) and adult substance abuse. hospital feels that efforts to improve access to primary health services will have a positive impact on early detection of chronic disease and that a separate set of disease specific initiatives is not necessary. for those diagnosed with chronic diseases, hospital provides treatment in its scopes of service regardless of a patient's ability to pay. hospital is recognized for its youth treatment center program for substance abuse and mental health, but refers adult patients to other resources in the community.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 10 FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE CARE the hospital provides free care for patients earning less than 300% of the federal poverty level.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE the hospital provides discounted care for patients earning between 301-600% of the federal poverty level.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20 FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS amounts that can be charged to fap-eligible individuals was calculated using the average discount for all managed care contracts (excluding blue cross plans, and beech street, multiplan, and preferred access network plans).
PART V, SECTION B, LINES 20-21 FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS WITH INSURANCE COVERAGE individuals are qualified for financial assistance utilizing federal poverty guidelines, family income levels and family size. most individuals who qualify under our financial assistance policy would be billed an amount significantly lower than the amount that would be billed for an individual with insurance coverage. however, in rare instances it is possible that the amount billed to such an individual could be higher than that billed for individuals with insurance coverage.
PART VI, LINE 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT the assessment conducted by prc, which was described in part v, line 3 was a data-driven approach to determining the health status of the community and included both quantitative (phone survey) and qualitative (focus group) components. the assessment also integrated the most recent secondary public health data to complement the research of the chna. the data collected for hospital's service area was benchmarked against the secondary data available for the region, state, u.s., healthy people 2020 as well as comparing the data collected against hospital's previous assessment. all quantitative and qualitative data was compiled and presented to hospital in a 213 page document which included a recommendation on areas of concern or opportunity. the chna is conducted every three years. hospital convened an internal, multi-disciplinary committee to review the results of the chna, affirm and prioritize needs, and develop an implementation plan. representatives from the following departments served on the committee: community services, strategic planning, patient access services, finance, clinical resource management, foundation, data governance, nursing, research, and marketing. committee members reviewed the findings and areas of opportunity that were presented by prc. in addition, feedback on community health needs from the community services department and other internal departments was also considered. the committee used the following criteria when prioritizing health issues: magnitude, impact, feasibility and consequences of inaction. the most predominant issue was the difficulty the community has in accessing healthcare services which includes primary, oral, and behavioral health services, as well as prescription medication. other concerns were adult and childhood obesity/obesity and cancer. hospital has identified these concerns as the five main "priority areas", and the majority of hospital's outreach efforts focus on addressing these needs. an implementation plan was developed and was presented for approval to the community health and outreach committee, a committee of the board of directors, as well as to the community benefit regulatory committee, a new committee formed to ensure hospital is meeting all regulatory requirements. both committees unanimously approved the plan which includes measurement indicators and the plan was posted to hospital's website (www.nch.org), which the community was made aware of through press releases. the implementation plan is assessed and updated on hospital's website on an annual basis. as mentioned previously, hospital maintains a full time community services department who is in constant collaboration with community organizations, local government, schools, churches and social service agencies to identify and address unmet needs. the director of the community services department is on the board of directors of the palatine opportunity center, a local not for profit that helps hospital run a community resource center in hospital's primary service area. the resource center houses eleven not-for-profit agencies including cook county health and hospital system and cook county department of public health. providers at this center meet with hospital regularly to review community needs and explore collaborative strategies to address them.
PART V, LINE 14 AND PART VI, LINE 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE the financial assistance program at northwest community hospital is communicated widely to patients and visitors in english and spanish using the following methods: (1) signage in english and spanish is posted throughout the organization at all access points, including the emergency department and outpatient registration areas. these areas also stock and make available a brochure, printed in english and spanish, describing hospital's policy. a full-time interpretation service department is available to assist those who need additional information in other languages. in fy 2013 hospital responded to 16,919 in-person requests and provided telephonic assistance on 64,122 phone calls in 42 different languages. (2) each page of hospital's website (www.nch.org) contains the following footnote: "northwest community hospital is a charitable organization and provides financial assistance to those who are eligible. for more information, click here." a link takes visitors to a subsequent page that describes financial assistance/charity care and provides a phone number to contact a northwest community hospital financial counselor. applications for financial assistance, in english and spanish, are available for download on the hospital website. (3) all external hospital publications include the following note: "northwest community hospital is a charitable organization and provides financial assistance to people who are eligible. for more information please call 847.618.4542 or visit our website at www.nch.org." (4) information on financial assistance is included with every patient bill. patients who have indicated that they have met presumptive eligibility criteria, at the point of registration, are provided with unique verbiage on their bill directing them to contact the financial counseling department to pursue assistance through a streamlined process. (5) financial counselors provide financial assistance information to patients during their registration and work with patients identified at registration or after admission to help them get the assistance they need, answer questions, set up payment plans and facilitate applications for government programs such as medicaid.

(7) collaborative partnerships are the foundation to many of hospital's community health initiatives aimed to improve the health and wellbeing of the community. these partnerships include a collaboration with access community health network (a local federally qualified health center), and cook county health and hospital system to bring primary care services for the uninsured and underinsured to the community. in fy 2013, 40,985 patient visits were provided at these clinics and hospital's financial and in-kind support was $149,000. hospital also partners with elk grove, palatine, schaumburg, and wheeling townships on a mobile dental clinic program which provided 2,570 patient visits in fy 2013 with hospital absorbing $130,000 of the total cost. northwest community healthcare, an affiliate of hospital, also partners with the palatine opportunity center (poc), a local 501(c)(3) organization, to operate and run a resource center which provides direct services, referrals, and other assistance to the under-resourced. hospital owns and maintains the building and provides free or low-cost rent to local not for profit agencies, including: preservation for human dignity (phd), the center-resources for teaching and learning (ecdec program), community economic development association (ceda), palatine township senior citizens council, palatine police department, harper college, the cook county department of public health, palatine public library, buehler ymca, path (palatine assisting through hope), as well as the cook county primary care clinic described previously. some of the many programs offered at the resource center include ged and citizenship classes, healthcare services, computer literacy, after-school youth program, bilingual counseling, parenting classes, job placement, career education and recreation. in fy 2013, the poc had 234,250 client visits and hospital's cost to operate the facility was $248,000. in addition to the resource center, hospital works with poc on many collaborative health initiatives including the promotoras de salud program which provides health education to the latino population. this program identifies latina women who demonstrate the potential to become leaders in the community. these women then receive leadership training and education on specific health topics and lead small group presentations and health discussions with members of the community. in fy 2013, more than 500 people participated in classes led by the promotora and sixty-nine percent of the participants had annual household incomes of $25,000 or less and 39 percent had no health insurance. poc and hospital also collaboratively provide the services of a bilingual community health nurse and bilingual behavioral health navigator who focus on helping under-resourced members of the community navigate healthcare resources, provide health education, and help patients obtain low-cost prescriptions. in fy 2013 the part-time community nurse had 1,964 client interactions and the part-time behavioral health navigator had 1296. individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are another population that has difficulty accessing primary and oral healthcare services. hospital partners with little city foundation, a local residential organization that serves such individuals, on providing primary healthcare by an advanced practice nurse and oral healthcare by the mobile dental clinic team. (8) hospital operates an emergency department that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and serves all persons regardless of their ability to pay. (9) hospital participates in both the medicare and medicaid government-sponsored healthcare programs. hospital contracts with mira med assistance program to provide assistance to patients, free of charge, throughout the medicaid application process when applying for medical coverage through the illinois medicaid program. the assistance provided is inclusive of completing the application, gathering all of the appropriate additional documents that must be submitted, working with the state on the patient's behalf and, in some cases, working through an appeal process. the cost of providing this service was $94,000 in fy 2013. (10) hospital provides services free or at a reduced rate to individuals with limited financial resources who are unable to access entitlement programs. individuals are eligible for free or discounted medically necessary healthcare services based on established criteria and hospital's financial assistance policy is widely distributed and communicated to the community. (11) hospital is an independent community hospital, that provides acute care and is recognized for the following outstanding services: primary stroke center (designated by joint commission), gastroenterology center (directed by a nationally-renowned gastroenterologist with the only gi teaching gallery in illinois for instructing clinicians), level iii neonatal intensive care unit, specialized cancer services (accredited by the commission on cancer), illinois center for pancreatic and hepatobiliary disease, top hospital based on quality and safety criteria by the leapfrog group, and magnet award for nursing excellence recipient (awarded by the american nurses credentialing center). (12) one of hospital's most significant contributions to the region is the northwest community emergency medical services (ems) system. lAUNCHED in 1972, it was the first ems program in illinois and the first in the nation to serve multiple communities. today hospital continues to serve as the area's ems resource hospital, providing administrative, clinical practice, quality management, and fiscal oversight and education for emergency medical dispatchers (emd), emergency medical responders (emr), emergency medical technicians (emt), paramedics, and emergency communications registered nurses (ecrn) within a 375 square-mile area. the system is a coalition of 6 hospitals and 24 ems provider agencies that employ over 950 paramedics and 400 emts, who respond to more than 64,000 patients each year. on-line medical control is provided by over 250 ecrns. the net cost for ems resource hospital activities in fy 2013 was $1,668,600 and provided training for 1,492 individuals. (13) hospital's competent and committed professional nursing staff provides their time and expertise to serve as clinical preceptors for 430 undergraduate nursing students who come to the organization to complete their clinical practicum requirements. the nursing students come from various colleges and universities, including harper college, elmhurst college, university of illinois-chicago, north park university, chamberlain college, rush university, olivet nazarene university, and loyola university. as many nurses throughout the chicago area continue to pursue educational degrees (bsn and msn), many of these individuals seek hospital as a place to complete their requirements
PART VI, LINE 6 AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM northwest community hospital (hospital) is one of several affiliates under the common control of northwest community healthcare (nch). nch is a supporting organization that also supports northwest community day surgery center, inc., and northwest community hospital foundation. these 4 entities are 501(c)(3) exempt organizations and together provide the resources and funding to deliver quality healthcare services to the people of the northwest suburban community of chicago. in addition to the charity care that the hospital provided, the day surgery center provided an additional $145,265 in charity care (at cost) in fy 2013. the northwest community hospital foundation's primary function is to stimulate philanthropic giving and obtain charitable gifts in order to meet the changing needs of the community as well as fund community benefit initiatives. northwest community health services, inc., a multi-specialty medical group, is another affiliate of nch. health services owns and operates the nch medical group, a multi-specialty physician practice with offices in arlington heights, buffalo grove, palatine and mt. prospect, illinois. health services also operates "fast care", a clinic that is located centrally in a local grocery store that provides affordable primary healthcare services during convenient hours.
