Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C:	GREAT PLAINS HEALTH (GPH) MAY MAKE A DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILTY AT ANY STAGE OF THE PROCESS, INCLUDING PAST ASSIGNMENT TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. EACH PATIENT REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE ASKED TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL QUESTIONNAIRE AND TO PROVIDE COPIES OF DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING THEIR MOST RECENT FEDERAL INCOME TAX FORM, COPIES OF RECENT PAY STUBS, BANK STATEMENTS AND OTHER APPROPRIATE INDICATORS OF INCOME. A REFERRAL FOR FINANCIAL ASSITANCE MAY BE RECOMMENDED BY THE PATIENT, FAMILY MEMBER, PHYSICIAN OR HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS AND PROVIDED BASED ON INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES. FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL GENERALLY BE PROVIDED WHEN GROSS HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. A SLIDING FEE SCALE DISCOUNT WILL BE APPLIED FOR HOUSEHOLD INCOME UP TO 250% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. THE INCOME LEVELS WILL BE UPDATED ANNUALLY BASED UPON THE MOST CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES.
PART I, LINE 6A:	GPH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PREPARED BY THE STAFF OF GPH.
PART I, LINE 7:	GPH UTILIZED AN OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO (TOTAL EXPENSES - BAD DEBT) / GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE = PERCENTAGE OF COST TO CHARGE.
PART I, LINE 7G:	THERE ARE NO SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES REPORTED ON LINE 7G.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F):	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 6,109,500.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	GPH HAS MANY ACTIVITES TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: RECRUITMENT OF PHYSICIANS TO MEET NEED, SPONSORING HEALTH FAIR, SPORTS CLINICS AND SUPPORT GROUPS, PHYSICIANS SERVING ON COMMUNITY BOARDS, EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND MEDICATION ASSISTANCE. THE DONATED SERVICES AND FUNDS HELP FURTHER THE MISSION AND GOALS OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH, IN TURN, HELP IMPROVE OVERALL HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED.
PART III, LINE 2:	IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. WHEN EVALUATING RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND ESTIMATES A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE ACCOUNTS THAT WILL TRANSITION TO SELF-PAY PATIENTS BASED ON HISTORICAL ANALYSIS. THE ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE OF THOSE TRANSITION ACCOUNTS ARE ADDED TO RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL). THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.IN 2013, THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED A NEW POLICY RELATIVE TO SELF-PAY DISCOUNTS, WHEREBY CHARGES AND SUBSEQUENT BILLINGS WERE REDUCED TO APPROXIMATE REIMBURSEMENT LEVELS RECEIVED FROM GOVERNMENTAL THIRD-PARTY PAYORS.PAYMENT FOR SERVICES IS EXPECTED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE BILLING. ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED PAST DUE ARE SENT TO COLLECTION AGENCIES WHEN INTERNAL COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. ANY AMOUNTS DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE ARE WRITTEN OFF ON A MONTHLY BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT CHARGE INTEREST ON OUTSTANDING BALANCES OWED.
PART III, LINE 3:	THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE HEALTHCARE SERVICES THEY RECEIVE. PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE ARE GIVEN A PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE USING POVERTY GUIDELINES. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE ORGANIZATION NOT TO PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE. ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT REPORT THESE AMOUNTS IN NET OPERATING REVENUE OR IN THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CHARITY CARE BY AGGREGATING THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS, INCLUDING SALARIES, BENEFITS, SUPPLIES, AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES, BASED ON THE OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR GP HEALTH AND NPNPG.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE BAD DEBT EXPENSES INCLUDES CALCULATING ON A MONTHLY BASIS THE TOTAL ESTIMATED AMOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL WRITE OFFS.THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN A SPECIFIC FOOTNOTE DESCRIBING BAD DEBT. HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTES TITLED "PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET," "NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE," AND "CHARITY CARE":PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET:THE ORGANIZATION REPORTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES RENDERED AT NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, PATIENTS AND OTHERS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND ESTIMATES A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE ACCOUNTS THAT WILL TRANSITION TO SELF-PAY PATIENTS BASED ON HISTORICAL ANALYSIS. THE ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE OF THOSE TRANSITION ACCOUNTS ARE ADDED TO RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL).

RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE ACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED.CHARITY CARE:THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE.THE ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO ALL SEGMENTS OF SOCIETY, INCLUDING THE AGED AND OTHERWISE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES AT OR BELOW COST.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS BASED ON THE INFORMATION FROM THE COST REPORT. THESE COSTS ARE MEDICARE REIMBURSABLE COSTS, NOT ALL COSTS. THESE MEDICARE REIMBURSABLE COSTS SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO THE EXTENT THAT MEDICARE REVENUES DO NOT COVER THE COSTS. WE DO NOT USE ANY NEGOTIATION TOOL WITH MEDICARE FOR OUR RATES; THE RATES THAT WE ARE PAID ARE MANDATED. HENCE, THIS DOES NOT GIVE US THE ABILITY AS A PROVIDER TO RECEIVE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO COVER THE MEDICARE COSTS. AS A FACILITY WE ARE WORKING TOWARD COSTS SAVINGS.
PART III, LINE 9B:	IF THE COLLECTION AGENCY LEARNS INFORMATION THAT INDICATES THAT THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE GPH CHARITY CARE POLICY, THEN THE COLLECTION AGENCY SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR AND CEASE ANY FURTHER COLLECTION ACTIVITY UNTIL GPH DETERMINES THE PATIENT ELIGIBILITY.
