Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM'S REACH EXTENDS FAR BEYOND THE ACUTE CARE SETTING OF THE HOSPITAL. THERE ARE MANY WAYS OUR STAFF PROACTIVELY SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE THE GREATEST NEED. WHETHER THROUGH CHARITABLE CARE, SUBSIDIZED HOSPITAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, MEDICAL EDUCATION OR COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION, SPARROW STRIVES TO RESPOND TO THE REGION'S MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS. FOR MORE THAN 114 YEARS, SPARROW HAS BEEN DISTINGUISHED BY ITS PASSIONATE COMMITMENT TO CARE FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS. SPARROW ALSO PROVIDES "SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES." THESE ARE SERVICES THAT ARE OFFERED DESPITE FINANCIAL LOSS BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY NEEDS THEM, BECAUSE OTHER PROVIDERS ARE NOT WILLING TO OFFER THEM, OR BECAUSE THE SERVICES WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE ABLE TO MEET PATIENT DEMAND. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE; MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES; SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES; NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE; OBSTETRICS; REHABILITATION; EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA SERVICES; GERIATRICS CLINICS; AND PEDIATRIC CLINICS.
PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE AND CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING CERTAIN PAST DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES.
PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE IN REVIEWING ACCOUNTS CLASSIFIED AS BAD DEBT, THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3, REFLECTS PATIENTS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY QUALIFIED FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER MEANS-TESTED SUPPORT, BUT WHO AT THE TIME OF SERVICES, WERE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER MEANS-TESTED SUPPORT OR THE SERVICES PROVIDED WERE NOT COVERED BENEFITS. THE HOSPITAL FURTHER REVIEWED THESE PATIENTS TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THE PATIENTS' ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BAD DEBT FOOTNOTE - SEE PAGE 13 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS, REPORTED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT, IS A RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION B, LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. CARING FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS FULFILLS A COMMUNITY NEED AND RELIEVES A GOVERNMENT BURDEN AS THESE PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAVE LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. MEDICARE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS AND THAT SHORTFALL OF 7,197,399 SHOULD BE COUNTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION THE CHARGES FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE ARE WRITTEN OFF THE SYSTEM TO CHARITY CARE AT THE TIME THE PATIENT'S CHARITY CARE STATUS IS DETERMINED. AS SUCH, NO FURTHER COLLECTION EFFORTS TAKE PLACE.
PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT THROUGH CONTINUAL ANALYSIS OF OUR ANNUAL CASE MIX AND COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS SPARROW IS ABLE TO MAKE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS OF THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE REGION IT SERVES. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR REGIONAL COLLABORATION OF AREA HEALTH PARTNERS, WHICH INCLUDES SPARROW, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, INGHAM REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE, THE MICHIGAN STATE AND INGHAM COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETIES, THE INGHAM COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE LANSING SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE ACCIDENT FUND, THE CAPITAL AREA HEALTH ALLIANCE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS RECENTLY ADOPTED A NEW GOAL OF DEVELOPING THE HEALTH PLAN CHAPTER FOR THE GREATER LANSING NEXT INITIATIVE. ASSESSING THE REGION'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH IS FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REGION.
PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE SPARROW HOSPITAL EMPLOYS SEVERAL METHODS TO COMMUNICATE ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS. ALL UNINSURED IN-PATIENTS ARE DIRECTLY SCREENED FOR POTENTIAL MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY AND ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS (COBRA BENEFITS, ETC). SIGNAGE IS POSTED IN OUR PATIENT REGISTRATION AREAS REGARDING AVAILABILITY OF SPARROW COMMUNITY FINANCIAL AID (CFA) PROGRAM (CHARITY CARE). ALL PATIENT BILLING STATEMENTS HAVE A NOTE REGARDING THE CFA PROGRAM AND OUR WEBSITE CONTAINS LINKS TO OUR CFA POLICY AND APPLICATION.
PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION SPARROW SERVES THE MID-MICHIGAN REGION WHICH CONSISTS OF THE GREATER LANSING AREA (A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 450,000). STRATEGICALLY LOCATED IN THE HEART OF MICHIGAN, SPARROW IS LOCATED WITHIN 90 MINUTES OF 90 PERCENT OF THE STATE'S POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MILLION PEOPLE. THE STATE CAPITAL, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY AND TWO GENERAL MOTORS ASSEMBLY FACILITIES MAKE THE LANSING REGION AMONG THE MOST STABLE AND DIVERSE ECONOMIES IN MICHIGAN. THE REGION IS EVOLVING AS A LEADING ECONOMIC FORCE IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, BIO-TECHNOLOGY, HEALTHCARE, INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES.
PART VI, LINE 5 - PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AS NOTED ABOVE, THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THE ORGANIZATION SERVES. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED UNDER THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION - "IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO EVERYONE, EVERY TIME."
PART VI, LINE 6 - AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EDWARD W SPARROW HOSPITAL IS A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM.
