THIS COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES, SUPPLIED BY THE IRS.UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID (7B) WAS CALCULATED BY USING ACTUAL COSTS.OTHER BENEFITS (7E & 7F) WERE CALCULATED BY DETERMINING ACTUAL COSTS AND ACTUAL REVENUE PER EVENT.THE MAIN SOURCE OR GUIDE OF HOW CALCULATIONS WERE DETERMINED WAS BY UTILIZING THE WORKSHEETS PROVIDED BY THE IRS AND THEN ADJUSTING ACCORDING TO ROME HOSPITAL SPECIFICS (IE. USING ACTUAL COSTS VS. COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS MENTIONED ABOVE).
PART I, LN 7 COL(F): PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE IS CALCULATED BY USING THE DENOMINATOR OF THE TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $6,284,531 (PER AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS).
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN NUMEROUS COMMUNITY COMMITTEES INVOLVED IN ENHANCING HEALTHCARE OUTCOMES THROUGH PREVENTION, EARLY DETECTION AND INTERVENTION, AS WELL AS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE A COORDINATED RESPONSE IN AN EVENT OF A DISASTER. HOSPITAL EXPERTS ARE CALLED UPON TO PARTICIPATE IN INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, TEENAGE PREGNANCY, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND LITERACY.ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS ALSO ONE OF 11 HOSPITALS THAT ARE MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL NEW YORK CARE COLLABORATIVE (CNYCC), WHICH HAS IDENTIFIED 11 DSRIP PROJECTS TO ADDRESS GAPS IN CARE AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES INCLUDING: EXPANDING CAPACITY, ESPECIALLY FOR PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND IMPLEMENTING CARE MANAGEMENT, CARE COORDINATION, AND POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVES. RECRUITING PHYSICIANS AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO ENHANCE ACCESS TO CARE IS ONE OF THE HOSPITAL'S MOST SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES. WITH EXISTING PROVIDER SHORTAGES, MANY PRACTICES ARE NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS AND SEVERAL PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS WITH LARGE PATIENT PANELS ARE NEARING RETIREMENT, WHICH WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM.
PART III, LINE 2: BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE TOTAL BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS. FOR 2014, THAT AMOUNT IS $6,284,531 (PER AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS). THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES FROM THE INSTITUTIONAL COST REPORT IS THEN APPLIED TO THE TOTAL BAD DEBT. FOR 2014, THAT PERCENTAGE IS 28.72. THE CALCULATED AMOUNT IS THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 3: TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS IS APPLIED TO THE CALCULATED TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE. FOR 2014, THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL AID PROVIDED IS 7.98. APPLYING THAT PERCENTAGE AGAINST THE TOTAL CALCULATED BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN PART III LINE 2 RESULTS IN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTED TO FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBLE PATIENTS.
PART III, LINE 4: SEE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PAGES 12 AND 13 FOR CURRENT FOOTNOTE LANGUAGE THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT. PART III, LINE 6; COSTING METHODOLOGY AND SOURCE:2014 ICR EXHIBIT 46 AND TENTATIVE MEDICARE SETTLEMENT RATES
PART III, LINE 8: FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM THE SHORTFALL IN QUESTION 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS FAIL TO COVER THE COSTS OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. DESPITE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY, EXPENSES FOR TECHNOLOGY, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND SALARY AND BENEFITS CONTINUE TO ESCALATE. THE HOSPITALS BAD DEBT EXPENSES IS IMPACTED BY THE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES BATTERING THE COUNTRY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. MANY CANNOT AFFORD RISING PREMIUMS, WHILE OTHERS HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS COMPLETELY. SOME PEOPLE HAVE INSURANCE, BUT THEIR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS ARE HIGH BECAUSE EMPLOYERS HAVE RAISED THEIR DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-PAYMENTS, OR REDUCED WHAT THEIR PLANS COVER. AS A RESULT, THE AMOUNT OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE PROVIDED BY RMH CONTINUES TO GROW.TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED LEARN MORE ABOUT POSSIBLE OPTIONS, THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM INSURERS WHICH OFFER FREE OR LOW-COST HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH NEW YORK STATE'S CHILD HEALTH PLUS AND FAMILY HEALTH PLUS, ALONG WITH SPACE FOR REPRESENTATIVES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND ENROLL ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS.IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL HAS PARTNERED WITH THE MOHAWK VALLEY PERINATAL NETWORK, WHOSE FACILITATED ENROLLER CAN ASSIST INDIVIDUALS IN APPLYING FOR COVERAGE FROM CHILD HEALTH PLUS, FAMILY HEALTH PLUS, AND MEDICAID. IN ADDITION TO HELPING PEOPLE OBTAIN INSURANCE COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND WORKS WITH PATIENTS TO SET UP AFFORDABLE PAYMENT PLANS.FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURES ARE LOCATED IN THE HOSPITAL'S WAITING AREAS AND APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. RMH DISCOUNTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS UP TO 100% DEPENDING UPON FAMILY INCOME IN COMPARISON TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. DISCOUNTS ARE BASED UPON THE BLUE CROSS RATE. ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OFFERS DISCOUNTS TO THE UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED WHOSE INCOME IS UP TO 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL.BECAUSE LACK OF AWARENESS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BARRIERS, RMH PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABLE PROGRAMS AT HEALTH FAIRS AND OTHER OUTREACH ACTIVITIES.CHANGES (ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL) IMPACTING COMMUNITY HEALTH, PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE, AND ACCESS TO SERVICES: REIMBURSEMENTS THAT FAIL TO KEEP PACE WITH RISING EXPENSES AND THE CONTINUED GROWTH IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE ARE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES THAT NEW YORK'S HOSPITALS FACE, INCLUDING RMH. OTHER CHALLENGES INCLUDE THE ESCALATION OF COSTS FOR DRUGS DUE TO INFLATION AND HAVING TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION SHORTAGES, SERVICES AND BAD DEBT, AND INVESTMENTS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH MANDATES. HERE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF OUR CHALLENGES:UNCOMPENSATED CARE: THE COST OF FREE SERVICES PROVIDED TO OUR COMMUNITY REMAINS HIGH AS RESIDENTS LOSE THEIR JOBS OR THEIR ABILITY TO AFFORD THEIR INSURANCE PREMIUMS. IN 2014, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE TOTALED $8.4 MILLION. PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES: ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN RECRUITING SEVERAL NEW PHYSICIANS TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT AT A GREAT COST. TODAY'S PHYSICIAN WANTS TO BE EMPLOYED SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO BEAR THE RISK OF OPENING A NEW PRACTICE OR MANAGE THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF MEDICINE. ALTHOUGH THEY PROVIDE CRITICAL ACCESS TO CARE, THESE PRACTICES STRUGGLE TO BREAK EVEN. LACK OF PRIMARY CARE: PATIENTS WHO DON'T HAVE INSURANCE OR WHO ARE COVERED BY MEDICAID OFTEN DON'T HAVE A REGULAR PHYSICIAN FOR PREVENTATIVE CARE OR TO MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, THEY USE THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AS THEIR PRIMARY CARE OR DELAY CARE UNTIL THEIR CONDITION IS MORE CRITICAL AND MORE EXPENSIVE TO TREAT. SINCE ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S NEW EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OPENED, THE NUMBER OF PATIENT VISITS HAS STEADILY INCREASED BY 19,000 IN 2006 TO 30,233 IN 2014. MANY PHYSICIANS DON'T ACCEPT MEDICAID PATIENTS BECAUSE OF LOW REIMBURSEMENT RATES. IN ADDITION, SENIORS MAY SOON FACE THE SAME ACCESS PROBLEMS IF CUTS TO PHYSICIAN MEDICARE RATES ARE IMPLEMENTED. PHARMACEUTICALS: THE HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO SEE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DRUG COSTS DUE TO INFLATION AND MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION SHORTAGES. IN MANY CASES, THESE SHORTAGES FORCE US TO TURN TO ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS, WHO CHARGE A PREMIUM PRICE. INTERPRETER SERVICES: AS OUR POPULATION BECOMES MORE DIVERSE WITH BURMESE AND BOSNIAN REFUGEES AND SPANISH SPEAKING RESIDENTS, THERE IS A GREATER DEMAND FOR INTERPRETER SERVICES. DDSO POPULATION - THE HIGH CONCENTRATION OF DDSO CLIENTS IN ONEIDA COUNTY AND ROME PLACES A UNIQUE BURDEN ON ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. WHEN DDSO CLIENTS REQUIRE HOSPITALIZATION, THEIR CASES ARE OFTEN VERY COMPLEX AND THEIR LENGTH OF STAY IS NEARLY TWICE AS LONG AS THE AVERAGE PATIENT. AS A RESULT, THE HOSPITAL IS ONCE AGAIN FACED WITH ABSORBING THE FINANCIAL LOSS OF CARING FOR THESE PATIENTS. PROGRAM VIABILITY: AS A RESULT OF THESE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CHALLANGES, RMH CONTINUALLY EVALUATES THE VIABILITY OF SOME OF ITS SERVICES. AS A PART OF THE EVALUATION, RMH ASSESSES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED AND AVAILABILITY OF OTHER SERVICES TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY NEED, IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE HOSPITAL.
PART VI, LINE 2: LINE 2 - ALWAYS ASSESSING NEEDS:IN ADDITION TO THE FORMAL CHNA REPORTED IN PART V, SECTION B, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CONTINUALLY ASSESSES THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS THROUGH ONGOING OBSERVATION AND PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY COMMITTEES AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT A BROAD SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL'S STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS INCLUDES QUARTERLY UPDATES THAT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION EMERGING INFORMATION. SURVEYS ARE PROVIDED AT COMMUNITY LECTURES AND FAIRS ASKING RESIDENTS TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF INTEREST FOR FUTURE PROGRAMS.
PART VI, LINE 3: LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE:TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS AWARE OF THE HOSPITAL'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY, THE HOSPITAL POSTS INFORMATION ABOUT ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ON ITS WEBSITE. THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY CONFORMS WITH THE GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK STATE. THIS POLICY INCLUDES DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING ELIGIBILITY, THE APPLICATION PROCESS, FINANCIAL GUIDELINES, TYPES OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE, AND THE APPEAL PROCESS. RMH'S WEBSITE ALSO LISTS CONTACT INFORMATION IF YOU NEED HELP DETERMINING IF YOU QUALIFY FOR A DISCOUNT OR HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROCESS. FREE, CONFIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE BY CONTACTING THE ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICE. IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK ENGLSH, SOMEONE WILL HELP IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE. ALSO, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HOSTS ENROLLMENT REPRESENTATIVES WHO CAN HELP ENROLL IN FREE OR LOW-COST INSURANCE PROGRAMS, SUCH AS MEDICAID, CHILD HEALTH PLUS AND FAMILY HEALTH PLUS.
