Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 7: COSTING METHODOLOGYCHARITY CARE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO THAT WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE CHART FOR LINE 7 WAS DERIVED FROM THE WORKSHEET 2 CALCULATION.
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 $ 8,547,041.
PART III, LINE 4: THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S POLICY IS NOT TO PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE; THEREFORE, THESE AMOUNTS ARE NOT REPORTED IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. DURING 2014 AND 2013, COSTS INCURRED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER IN THE PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE WERE BASED ON THE RATIO OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COSTS TO GROSS CHARGES AND APPROXIMATED $458,000 AND $863,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013, RESPECTIVELY.THE MEDICAL CENTER GRANTS CREDIT WITHOUT COLLATERAL TO PATIENTS, MOST OF WHOM ARE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND ARE INSURED UNDER THIRD-PARTY AGREEMENTS. ADDITIONS TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS ARE MADE BY MEANS OF THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE ARE DEDUCTED FROM THE ALLOWANCE AND SUBSEQUENT RECOVERIES ARE ADDED. THE AMOUNT OF THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. SERVICES RENDERED TO INDIVIDUALS WHEN PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AND ULTIMATELY NOT RECEIVED ARE WRITTEN OFF TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 8: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE SHORTFALL REPORTED IS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE BECAUSE THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS TO THE MEDICAL CENTER FOR PROVIDING CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND DISABLED.
PART III, LINE 9B: COLLECTION POLICY PROVISIONS PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY FOR THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM HAVE THE CHARGES ON THEIR ACCOUNTS FORGIVEN AS THEY ARE PLACED IN CHARITY CARE AND THE BALANCES ARE WRITTEN OFF. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM USED THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (FPG) AS A GUIDE WITH HIGH-END LIMITS AT 300% OF THE FPG. IN THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THE PATIENT'S INCOME IS BETWEEN 200% - 300% OF THE FPG, A SMALL COST SHARE WOULD BE THE ONLY AMOUNT NOT INCLUDED IN CHARITY CARE. ADDITIONALLY THIS SMALL COST SHARE WOULD BE THE ONLY AMOUNT TURNED OVER TO COLLECTION WITH THE OPPORTUNITY OF EVENTUALLY BEING WRITTEN OF TO BAD DEBT IF NOT PAID.
PART VI, LINE 2: NEEDS ASSESSMENTTHE MEDICAL CENTER ASSESSES HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES BY COLLABORATING WITH ONEIDA AND HERKIMER COUNTIES' DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH ON COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS. DATA WAS COLLECTED IN 2013 THROUGH A MAPP PROCESS, AROUND THE NYS PREVENTION AGENDA ISSUES. FIVE RESULTING PRIORITY WORK GROUPS THAT CONTAIN MEDICAL CENTER EMPLOYEES CONTINUE TO ASSESS CHANGES AND ADDRESS PRIORITY AREAS. THESE WORK GROUPS ALSO REPORT TO THE SEMC COMMUNITY DESIGN TEAM, WHICH REGULARLY HEARS ABOUT HEALTHCARE NEEDS THROUGH THOSE IN AREA COMMUNITIES.
PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE THIS IS COMMUNICATED THROUGH SEMC'S FACILITATED ENROLLMENT PROGRAM AND THE MOTHER BERNARDINA CHARITY CARE PROGRAM. INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE PATIENT INFORMATION GUIDES PRESENTED TO INPATIENTS AND OUTPATIENTS, AND IS AVAILABLE ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE. ST ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTER RECOGNIZES THAT PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL HEALTHCARE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY IS A VITAL COMMUNITY RESOURCE. OUR ACHIEVEMENTS ARE NOT OURS ALONE, BUT ARE OBTAINED BY COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT LEADERS WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE THE "HEALTH" OF THE COMMUNITY.SEMC'S FACILITATED ENROLLMENT PROGRAM IN 2000, ST ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTER DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED THE FACILITATED ENROLLMENT PROGRAM AS A RESULT OF THE UNIQUE COLLABORATION THAT WAS FORGED BETWEEN ST ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTER AND ONEIDA COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS SEMC STAFF, PATIENT ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVES, TO ACT AS AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PATIENT AT THE ONIEDA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND SUBMIT THE APPLICATION FOR BENEFITS. THIS SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED THROUGHOUT THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS TO INCLUDE OUTPATIENTS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS.SEMC'S MOTHER BERNARDINA CHARITY CARE PROGRAMTO SUPPORT OUR MISSION, THE ST ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTER HAS DEVELOPED THE MOTHER BERNARDINA CHARITY CARE PROGRAM. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL MAKE AVAILABLE A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF UNCOMPENSATED SERVICES TO ELIGIBLE PERSONS.
PART VI, LINE 4: COMMUNITY INFORMATION ST ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA) CONSISTS OF THE ZIP CODES IN WHICH 80% OF ITS PATIENTS LIVE (MOSTLY ONEIDA COUNTY AND SOME WITHIN HERKIMER COUNTY). ITS SECONDARY SERVICE AREA (SSA) CONSISTS OF ZIP CODES IN WHICH THE REMIANING 10+% OF ITS PATIENTS LIVE (MOSTLY OUTLYING REGIONS OF ONEIDA AND HERKIMER COUNTIES, PLUS SOME ZIP CODES IN MADISON AND LEWIS COUNTIES). METHODS USED TO DETERMINE THE SERVICE AREA ARE ANALYSIS OF PATIENT ORIGIN, BASED ON HOME ZIP CODE. IT IS AN ETHNICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY DIVERSE REGION, WITH MANY IMMIGRANTS AND AN OLDER POPULATION THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
PART VI, LINE 5: PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTHTHESE ACTIONS REPRESENT THE MEDICAL CENTER'S EMPLOYEE OUTREACH BEYOND THE HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL GROUP OFFICES INTO AREA COMMUNITIES, AND THEY SPAN A WIDE REACH OF EVENTS AND SITES. ALONG WITH HOSPITALS ACROSS THE STATE AND NATION, ST ELIZABETH NOW MONITORS HOW OUR FAITHFULNESS TO THE REGIONAL POPULATION MEETS OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES' UNIQUE HEALTH NEEDS.THEREFORE, COMMUNITY BENEFITS ARE PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES THAT PROVIDE TREATMENT AND/OR PROMOTE HEALTH AND HEALING AS A RESPONSE TO IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS. OUR CATHOLIC TRADITION AND MEDICAL CENTER MISSION TEACH US TO PUT THE NEEDS OF THE POOR AND VULNERABLE FIRST. AMONG OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES ARE:-CHARITY CARE FOR PEOPLE UNABLE TO AFFORD SERVICE-HEALTH EDUCATION AND ILLNESS PREVENTION-HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES FOR AT-RISK YOUTHS-FREE OR LOW-COST CLINICS AND-INITIATIVES TO RAISE AWARENESS AND RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUTMANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES ARE ADVANCED IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THE MEDICAL CENTER FURTHERS ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE BY PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF AND A COMMUNITY BOARD. SEMC FURTHER PROMOTES THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY BY USING ITS SURPLUS FOR TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF ITS EMPLOYEES AND BY INVESTING IN HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY.PART VII, LINE 7 STATE FILING OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT NEW YORK STATE
