Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C:	ALL SELF PAY PATIENTS RECEIVE A 60% DISCOUNT WHICH IS NOT BASED ON INCOME LEVELS. THE ORGANIZATION USES TWO DIFFERENT METHODS FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE BASED ON WHETHER THE PATIENT SUBMITS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP).IF THE PATIENT SUBMITS A FAP APPLICATION:-A TEAM OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REPRESENTATIVES REVIEWS THE APPLICATION TO DETERMINE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE SUCH AS FOOD STAMPS OR WELFARE. IF SO, THE PATIENT RECEIVES A 100% WRITE OFF.- IF THE PATIENT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE, THE TEAM DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF DISCOUNT BASED ON INCOME WITHIN THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AND THE NUMBER OF DEPENDENTS. THE LEVEL OF DISCOUNT THEN RANGES FROM 70%, OR 90% UP TO 100% DISCOUNT.IF THE PATIENT DOES NOT SUBMIT A FAP APPLICATION:THE ORGANIZATION SENDS THE ACCOUNT TO A VENDOR TO DETERMINE IF THE ACCOUNT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT A 100% WRITE OFF. THE ACCOUNT MUST PASS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TESTS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A 100% WRITE OFF. ALL OTHER ACCOUNTS SIMPLY RECEIVE ONLY THE 60% DISCOUNT. THE VENDOR USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA TO DETERMINE IF THE ACCOUNT QUALIFIES FOR FREE CARE:-NO CREDIT AVAILABLE-NO PRESENCE OF A MORTGAGE-NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANT DENIALS IN THE SYSTEM-NO INSURANCE PAYMENTS OR ADJUSTMENTS IN THE SYSTEM-THE PATIENT MUST RESIDE IN THE UNITED METHODIST HEALTHCARE CATCHMENT AREAS-THE ACCOUNT IS NOT BEING REVIEWED FOR MEDICAID OR MEDICARE-THE PATIENT ACCOUNT IS NOT IN REVIEW FOR LEGAL, BANKRUPTCY, TPL, DECEASED, OR PAYMENT DISPOSITIONS
PART I, LINE 6A:	METHODIST HEALTHCARE-FAYETTE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PREPARED PRIMARILY BY THE COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING DEPARTMENT, WITH SUPPORT FROM THE ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE DEPARTMENTS, OF METHODIST LE BONHEUR HEALTHCARE, THE HOME OFFICE/CORPORATE PARENT ENTITY OF THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ON THE COMPANY'S WEBSITE AT WWW.METHODISTHEALTH.ORG UNDER THE "ABOUT US" SECTION.
PART I, LINE 7:	WORKSHEET 2 OF THE 2015 SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WAS USED TO COMPUTE A COST-TO-CHARGES RATIO THAT WAS USED TO CALCULATE CHARITY CARE, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID, AND SHORTFALLS FROM OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AT COST.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	THE AMOUNT ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 CONTAINS A BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $75,947 THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE ON SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F).
PART III, LINE 4:	THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A FOOTNOTE ON BAD DEBTS, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, OR ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTABLE ACCOUNTS. WORKSHEET 2 OF THE 2015 SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WAS USED TO COMPUTE A COST-TO-CHARGES RATIO THAT WAS USED TO CALCULATE BAD DEBT AT COST.WHEN A PORTION OF PATIENT CHARGES BECOME PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY, THE AMOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS AND THEN SENT TO OUR COLLECTION GROUP. ANY PAYMENTS RECOUPED BY OUR COLLECTIONS GROUP ARE THEN APPLIED AGAINST THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE. IT IS OUR ESTIMATION BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE THAT ABOUT 50% OF THE REMAINING PORTION OF BAD DEBTS (AFTER RECOVERIES) COULD BE APPLICABLE TO PATIENTS WHO, ON ADDITIONAL REVIEW AND PROVIDING ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION, WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART III, LINE 8:	AMOUNTS PRESENTED ON PART III, LINES 5 AND 6 ARE DERIVED FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. METHODIST HEALTHCARE - FAYETTE HOSPITAL EXPERIENCED A MEDICARE SHORTFALL DUE TO DECLINED AVERAGE DAILY CENSUS TO THE SEVERITY OF HOSPITAL CLOSURE. THE FACILITY BEGAN THE TERMINATION OF SERVICES IN JANUARY OF 2015 WITH THE FACILITY COMPLETELY CLOSED IN MARCH OF 2015.
PART III, LINE 9B:	METHODIST LE BONHEUR HEALTHCARE'S COLLECTION PROCESS BEGINS WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S REVENUE CYCLE TEAM MAKING INITIAL COLLECTION EFFORTS TO RECOUP ALL MONIES DUE FROM THE PATIENT'S INSURANCE PROVIDERS. WHEN THE AMOUNT IS SOLELY THE PATIENT'S PORTION, THE ACCOUNT IS TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER TEAM THAT SPECIALIZES IN PATIENT PORTION ACCOUNTS (EARLY-OUT PROGRAM). IT IS THIS PROGRAM THAT INITIALLY DETERMINES IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY. IF QUALIFICATION IS UNCLEAR, THIS PROGRAM ATTENDS TO THE ACCOUNT FOR A PREDETERMINED TIME THROUGH LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS. THE DURATION IS DEPENDENT ON VARIOUS SCENARIOS THAT AFFECT ITS LENGTH, SUCH AS PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS, DISPUTES, ETC. AFTER THE EARLY-OUT TIME PERIOD HAS EXPIRED, THE ACCOUNT IS THEN SENT TO OUR COLLECTIONS GROUP. AN ACCOUNT PLACED WITH OUR COLLECTION GROUP EXPERIENCES A CONTINUED AND THOROUGH COLLECTION PHASE. ONCE ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED AND IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE REMAINING BALANCE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED, THE ACCOUNT IS REEVALUATED ON THE CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY.
PART VI, LINE 2:	THE ORGANIZATION COMPLETED THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESMENT (CHNA) IN 2013 AND PUBLISHED IT WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY BY THE END OF 2014.METHODIST HEALTHCARE - FAYETTE HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO UNDERTAKING A COMMUNITY-WIDE PROCESS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE CHNA REPRESENTING THE NEEDS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. SECONDARY DATA FROM DEMOGRAPHICS AND SOCIOECONOMIC SOURCES, VITAL STATISTICS, DISEASE PREVALENCE AND HEALTH INDICATORS AND STATISTICS WERE COLLECTED. ADDITIONALLY, MLH COMPLETED FOUR PRIMARY RESEARCH STUDIES TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF ITS SERVICE AREA POPULATION. THE NATIONAL RESEARCH CORPORATION (NRC) CONSUMER HEALTH REPORT WAS COMPLETED IN 2011 PROVIDING VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MIDDLE AND UPPER INCOME POPULATIONS IN THE MLH SERVICE AREA. THE NRC CONSUMER HEALTH REPORT WAS AN EMAILED SURVEY TO A RANDOM SAMPLE OF GREATER MEMPHIS AREA RESIDENTS. BECAUSE THE SURVEY WAS EMAIL-BASED, WE BELIEVED THAT THE SURVEY MAY HAVE EXCLUDED THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME GROUPS WITH LESS ACCESS TO COMPUTERS AND INTERNET. TO AUGMENT THE NRC CONSUMER HEALTH REPORT FINDINGS, METHODIST CONDUCTED A MAIL-BASED SURVEY TO INDIVIDUALS MAKING LESS THAN $40,000 PER YEAR. THE MAILED SURVEY WAS SENT TO A RANDOM SAMPLE OF LOW-INCOME CONSUMERS LIVING IN THE GREATER MEMPHIS AREA. BECAUSE MEMPHIS IS HOME TO A RELATIVELY LARGE HOMELESS AND HOUSING-INSECURE POPULATION, SOUP KITCHEN INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED TO CAPTURE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THIS HIGH-RISK POPULATION. FINALLY, FOR ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM LOCAL EMPLOYERS, THE MLH CEO CONDUCTED ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS TO ASSESS THEIR NEEDS. WE BELIEVE THE COMBINATION OF SURVEY METHODOLOGIES (MAIL, INTERNET AND PERSONAL INTERVIEWS) WAS THE BEST WAY TO ACCURATELY CAPTURE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR ENTIRE, DIVERSE AND SOCIALLY/MEDICALLY COMPLEX COMMUNITY. TOGETHER THE SURVEYS PROVIDE TOOLS TO STRENGTHEN THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY BY ASSISTING IN THE FOLLOWING:A. MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION OF HEALTH STATUS AND HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITYB. IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS WITHIN VARIOUS DEMOGRAPHIC AND GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITYC. IDENTIFICATION AND MAPPING OF HIGH-RISK POPULATIONSD. IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS IN CARE AND PREVENTIVE HEALTH BEHAVIORS AMONG VARIOUS DEMOGRAPHIC AND GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITYTHE INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED TO THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP CHARGED WITH DEFINING MLH'S STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND A LIST OF THE HEALTH ISSUES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA SOURCES WAS CREATED. MANAGEMENT PRIORITIZED STRATEGY BASED UPON NEEDS IDENTIFIED AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE. IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES WERE PRESENTED TO THE FAITH AND HEALTH AND QUALITY SUB-COMMITTEES OF THE MLH BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	METHODIST HEALTHCARE - MEMPHIS HOSPITALS UTILIZES THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (FPG) TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF DISCOUNT UNINSURED PATIENTS MAY RECEIVE. THE LEVEL BY WHICH ASSISTANCE IS DETERMINED IS THROUGH THE SCALE SET BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (DHHS), WHICH INCLUDES FACTORS SUCH AS RESIDENTS PER HOUSEHOLD AND INCOME. MHMH COMMUNICATES AND PROVIDES ASSISTANCE CONCERNING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN SEVERAL WAYS. CHARITY CARE POLICIES ARE POSTED AND UPDATED AS PART OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SYSTEM POLICIES AND ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL STAFF THROUGH THE COMPANY INTRANET CONNECTIONS. IN ADDITION, PATIENT-FRIENDLY SUMMARIES OF THESE POLICIES ARE POSTED IN VISIBLE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT ALL PUBLIC AREAS OF THE FACILITY. AT THE TIME OF PATIENT REGISTRATION, MHMH PROVIDES FINANCIAL COUNSELING BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INSURANCE AND "ABILITY TO PAY" INFORMATION PROVIDED. MHMH ALSO SUPPLIES CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS AND OFFERS ASSISTANCE IN THE COMPLETION OF FORMS IN ALL INSTANCES WHERE THE "FINANCIAL PICTURE AS PRESENTED TO US" APPEARS TO WARRANT THAT SERVICE.FINALLY, THE HOSPITAL DISCUSSES WITH THE PATIENT THE AVAILABILITY OF VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL BENEFITS, SUCH AS MEDICAID OR OTHER STATE PROGRAMS, AND ASSISTS THE PATIENT WITH QUALIFICATION FOR SUCH PROGRAMS, AS APPLICABLE. LANGUAGE BARRIERS ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WITH ALL PATIENT COMMUNICATION. ALL STAFF WITH PATIENT CONTACT, INCLUDING ADMISSION AND BILLING CLERKS, NURSES AND THE MEDICAL STAFF, SOCIAL WORKERS, CHAPLAINS, AND PATIENT ADVOCATES, ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE CHARITY CARE POLICY AND ASSIST PATIENTS WHEN NECESSARY.
PART VI, LINE 4:	METHODIST HEALTHCARE - MEMPHIS HOSPITALS WAS FOUNDED BY THE MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS, AND MISSISSIPPI CONFERENCES OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH TO SERVE ITS POPULATION IN THESE AREAS. MHMH HAS FOUR ADULT LOCATIONS AND A PEDIATRIC FACILITY, LE BONHEUR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA IS SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE, WITH AN URBAN POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY ONE MILLION. THE HOSPITAL FURNISHES TERTIARY SERVICES TO DIVERSE SOCIO-ECONOMIC POPULATIONS ACROSS A LARGE AREA IN EASTERN ARKANSAS, WEST TENNESSEE, AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI. THE POPULATION OF THE FIVE-COUNTY SERVICE AREA IS EXPECTED TO GROW BY TWO PERCENT OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE SERVICE AREA HAS A MUCH HIGHER PROPORTION OF BLACK NON-HISPANIC POPULATION THAN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE AND NATION WITH FORTY-SIX PERCENT BLACK NON-HISPANIC, FORTY-FOUR PERCENT WHITE NON-HISPANIC, SIX PERCENT HISPANIC AND FOUR PERCENT OTHER RACES/ETHNICITIES. THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS APPROXIMATELY $69,425 WHICH IS TEN PERCENT BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. MHMH IS THE LARGEST TENNCARE/MEDICAID PROVIDER IN THE AREA WITH APPROXIMATELY 13,000 INPATIENTS SERVED EACH YEAR. LE BONHEUR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS THE ONLY PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN THE REGION SERVING CHILDREN'S PRIMARY AND TERTIARY CARE NEEDS. AS AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER, MHMH TRAINS HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND FURNISHES SPECIALIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES NOT OTHERWISE AVAILABLE IN THE REGION. MHMH IS THE PRIMARY PRACTICE LOCATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. THIS DISTINCTION, ALONG WITH THE ACCOMPANYING RESEARCH, BENEFITS THE ENTIRE METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY.
PART VI, LINE 5:	AT METHODIST LE BONHEUR HEALTHCARE, WE TAKE OUR MISSION SERIOUSLY AND ARE COMMITTED TO GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN A MEANINGFUL WAY. OUR HOSPITALS ARE PART OF A SYSTEM THAT IS THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF TENNCARE SERVICES IN THE STATE, AND OUR FACILITIES PROVIDE FULL ACCESS TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. BECAUSE OUR FACILITIES ARE PLACED IN ALL QUADRANTS OF OUR GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREAS, WE PROVIDE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR ALL OF THE COMMUNITY. AS EXAMPLES OF OUR GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES, WE HOST HEALTH FAIRS AT BOTH OUR NORTH, SOUTH AND OLIVE BRANCH HOSPITALS EACH YEAR WHICH INCLUDES A VARIETY OF HEALTH SCREENINGS, EDUCATION SEMINARS, COOKING CLASSES, ETC. PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE PARTICIPANTS. WE ABSORB THE COST TO PROVIDE MEDICATIONS, DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND HOME HEALTH VISITS FOR MANY OF OUR INDIGENT PATIENTS AFTER DISCHARGE TO CONTINUE THEIR RECOVERY PROCESS. EACH OF OUR FACILITIES ALSO ABSORBS THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MANY OF OUR PATIENTS BY CAB, BUS, OR AMBULANCE TO GET HOME AFTER DISCHARGE.MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCHMETHODIST SUPPORTS VIA DIRECT SALARY AND BENEFIT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER (UTHSC) FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL TRAINING POSITIONS (GME) AT METHODIST UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, LE BONHEUR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, AND METHODIST LE BONHEUR GERMANTOWN HOSPITAL. THESE GME RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS ARE EMPLOYEES AND TRAINEES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE, BUT THEIR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR SALARIES AND BENEFITS COMES VIA METHODIST. THESE TRAINEES SPEND TIME AT A METHODIST HOSPITAL DURING THE PERIODS OF METHODIST SUPPORT AND ARE INVOLVED IN PATIENT CARE IN ADDITION TO EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES.CHURCH HEALTH CENTERAS AN EARLY SUPPORTER OF THE CHURCH HEALTH CENTER, METHODIST LE BONHEUR HEALTHCARE STRONGLY BELIEVES IN ITS MISSION TO SERVE THE WORKING POOR. FROM ITS BEGINNINGS AS A PROJECT OF ST. JOHN'S UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AND OF DR. SCOTT MORRIS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY RESOURCE IT IS TODAY, THE CHURCH HEALTH CENTER PROVIDES AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE, DENTISTRY, OPTOMETRY, PASTORAL COUNSELING, AND HEALTH EDUCATION TO THOSE WHO NEED THESE SERVICES IN MEMPHIS.

AS A FAITH-BASED INSTITUTION, WE ARE WORKING TO DEFINE HOW WE CAN BETTER UTILIZE OUR FAITH RESOURCES AND OTHER ASSETS IN THE COMMUNITY TO IMPROVE HEALTH. THAT MISSION HAS RESULTED IN A STRATEGY AROUND CONGREGATIONS AND OUR CONNECTION WITH THEM. WE BELIEVE THAT CONGREGATIONS CAN PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN HEALTHCARE WHEN THEY ARE STRATEGIC PARTNERS IN THEIR MEMBERS' HEALTH JOURNEYS. TO THAT END, WE HAVE ENTERED INTO COVENANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH 500+ CONGREGATIONS TO IMPROVE THE ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SERVICES FOR ALL CITIZENS AND TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THESE PATIENTS. THE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN FAITH AND HEALTH (COE) IS HOUSED IN RENOVATED SPACE AT METHODIST UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL THE COE WILL ADVANCE HEALTH BY BRINGING FAITH AND HEALTH TOGETHER FOR THE IMPROVED WELLBEING OF THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS.
