Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 7:	COSTING METHODOLOGY. THE ORGANIZATION USED A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO USED WAS DERIVED USING WORKSHEET 2 OF THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	IN CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL EXPENSE REPORTED IN COLUMN (F), TOTAL EXPENSES AS REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) WERE REDUCED BY $24,624,888 - THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON THAT LINE.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MASS CASUALTY PLANNING, INCLUDING ACQUISITON OF DECONTAMINATION TENTS AND COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT.PART III, SECTION A, LINES 2 AND 3: COSTING METHODOLOGY. BAD DEBTS AS REPORTED ON LINE 2 ARE DERIVED FROM THE GROSS CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES. THE COST-CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM SCHEDULE H, WORKSHEET 2 - RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, WAS APPLIED IN CALCULATING LINE 2.
PART III, LINE 4:	IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP, THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING HISTORICAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. 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, AGMC FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING CERTAIN PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RESTRICTIONS INCLUDING A PROHIBITION AGAINST ENGAGING IN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION PROCEDURES AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT HAVING FIRST MADE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE THAT INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
PART III, LINE 8:	AKRON GENERAL MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY BENEFIT THROUGH ITS PARTICIPATION IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. BY ABSORBING THIS SHORTFALL, AKRON GENERAL MEDICAL CENTER PROMOTES THE HEALTH OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY RELYING ON MEDICARE AND LESSENS THE BURDEN OF GOVERNMENT BY DOING SO.THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS IS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEDICARE COST REPORT INSTRUCTIONS.
PART III, LINE 9B:	AKRON GENERAL MEDICAL CENTER'S BAD DEBT COLLECTION POLICY ADDRESSES HOW TO IDENTIFY AND PROCESS PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS FOR QUALIFICATION AS CHARITY CARE OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AT REGISTRATION/ADMISSION A SCREENING PROCESS IDENTIFIES THOSE PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE. THOSE PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY CHECKED FOR POSSIBLE MEDICAID OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY. WHERE ELIGIBILITY IS ESTABLISHED, THE PATIENT RECEIVES ASSISTANCE COMPLETING ANY REQUIRED APPLICATIONS. PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR 100% CHARITY CARE WILL HAVE THEIR CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS SUCH AND NO COLLECTION EFFORTS WILL FOLLOW. PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY FOR A SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT THROUGH CHARITY CARE WILL HAVE THEIR STATEMENTS ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. IF THE ADJUSTED BALANCE IS UNPAID, THE ADJUSTED BALANCE GOES TO COLLECTIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY FOR ALL BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS.
PART VI, LINE 2:	IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS FOR EACH OF ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES DESCRIBED IN PART V, SECTION B OF THIS SCHEDULE, THERE ARE A VARIETY OF NEEDS ASSESSMENT METHODS EMPLOYED BY THE HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION IN DETERMINING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. FOR MEDICAL STAFFING AND SERVICES, A COMBINATION OF FACTORS INCLUDING THE COMMUNITY'S DEMOGRAPHICS AND HEALTH NEEDS, THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF MEDICAL STAFF (PHYSICIAN AGE, SPECIALTY, ETC...) ARE WEIGHED TO DETERMINE WHERE RESOURCES SHOULD BE CONCENTRATED IN ORDER TO MEET CURRENT AND FUTURE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE HOSPTIAL ORGANIZATION PARTICIPATES IN HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES OF STATE AND LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, EITHER SOLELY OR IN CONCERT WITH OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, DEPENDING ON THE INITIATIVE. THE HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION WORKED WITH LOCAL CHURCHES AND SOCIAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY AND SERVICE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF PERSONS WHO ARE UNDERSERVED BY GOVERNMENT OR WHO HAVE FALLEN COMPLETELY THROUGH GOVERNMENT SAFETY NETS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS, OUR FINANCIAL COUNSELORS OR ON-SITE ELIGIBILITY VENDOR STAFF REACH OUT UPON ADMISSION OR PRIOR TO DISCHARGE TO EXPLAIN THE PROGRAMS FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE AND TO ASSESS ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAID AND OTHER VARIOUS PROGRAMS (VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION, COBRA, OTHER LOCAL PROGRAMS, ETC.).IF THE PATIENT IS DETERMINED TO BE LIKELY ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, THE ELIGIBILITY VENDOR STAFF ASSIST AND REPRESENT THE PATIENT THROUGHOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS (UPON APPROVAL FROM THE PATIENT). IN ADDITION TO SIGNAGE, INFORMATION EXPLAINING OUR PROGRAMS ARE IN ALL OF OUR REGISTRATION AREAS. OUR WELCOME PACKETS ALSO INCLUDE INFORMATION AS DOES OUR WEBSITE. ALL STATEMENTS MAILED TO PATIENTS INCLUDE A NOTICE THAT OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS ARE ON THE BACK OF THE STATEMENT. PHONE NUMBERS ARE PROVIDED FOR ASSISTANCE.

SUCH MESSAGES ALSO ARE CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED IN PATIENT AREAS AND THROUGHOUT OUR FACILITIES.

IN ADDITION, IT ALSO SPECIALIZES IN TREATING PERSONS WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES.
PART VI, LINE 5:	IN ORDER TO INSURE THE FURTHERANCE OF AKRON GENERAL'S EXEMPT PURPOSE, ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSISTS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS - THE MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE INDEPENDENT. THE SIZE OF THE BOARD - 17 MEMBERS THROUGH DECEMBER OF 2015, WITH 11 VOTING MEMBERS AT YEAR END - IS DESIGNED TO BE LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT EXPERTISE AND DIVERSITY FOR AN ORGANIZATION OF THIS SIZE. THE BOARD, AS WELL AS SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND MEDICAL STAFF LEADERS, ARE CHARGED BY POLICY WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT PERSONS IN SUCH POSITIONS WILL ADVOCATE STRONG TIES BETWEEN THE ORGANIZATION AND THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE POLICY CITES THE ASSUMPTION OF BOARD POSITIONS WITH SERVICE ORGANIZATION AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES AS WAYS TO PROMOTE SUCH TIES.
