Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c Under the Hospital's financial assistance policy, to be eligible for a 100% reduction of charges (i.e full write-off), the patient's family income must be at or below 100% of federal income poverty guidelines established by the Community Services Administration, unless they reside in the Hospital's main service area (the East Bank of Jefferson Parish). In that circumstance, family income cannot be more than 200% of federal income poverty guidelines. Applicants must present proof of residence (utility bills, rent receipts, etc.) and proof of family income. The adequacy of that proof is at the discretion of EJGH. Uncompensated care applicants will be required to submit supporting financial and medical information in order to make a determination of eligibility. / Patients living outside of the Hospital's main service area with family income that exceeds 100%, but is less than 401% of federal income poverty guidelines will be eligible for a sliding scale discount.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a Filing of the Community Benefit report is not required in the State of Louisiana.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad debt expense of $27,542,183 was removed for purposes of calculating the net community benefit expense reported in part I, line 7.
Schedule H, Part II EJGH supports community health by providing stand by ambulance services for many public events, fairs, festivals, and parades to ensure that health issues of event attendees that arise are addressed. EJGH supports community building through training classes offered to various members of the community including, but not limited to, expectant mothers, new mothers, babysitters, and the elderly. Classes offered range in type and frequency based on the need assessed by the Hospital.
Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 3 Amounts deemed as charity care are for patients who are identified as meeting the requirements for charity care in accordance with the Hospital's financial assistance policy. The organization estimates that approximately 5% of the bad debt expenses could be treated as charity care.
Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 4 Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies: Significant accounting policies: Patient receivables: Patient receivables, where a third-party payor is responsible for paying the amount, are carried at a net amount determined by the original charge for the service provided, less an estimate made for contractual adjustments or discounts provided to third-party payors. Patient receivables due directly from the patients, net of any third-party payor responsibility, are carried at the original charge for the service provided less an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. The Organization does not charge interest on patient receivables. Patient receivables are written off as bad debt expense when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense when received. Provision for bad debts was approximately $25,459,000 and $37,016,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction of net patient service revenue. Receivables or payables related to estimated settlements on various risk contracts that the Hospital participates in are reported as estimated third-party payor receivables or payables.
Schedule H, Part III, Section B, Line 8 The cost for providing Medicare services was determined by using cost to charges ratios developed from the filed 2015 Medicare cost report.
Schedule H, Part III, Section C, Line 9b For patients identified as financial assistance policy eligible, the encounter does not proceed through the collection process and is written off to charity care.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 EJGH assess the health care needs of the Community it serves by maintaining records to identify and monitor the level of care it provides. Community Benefit services represent the cost of providing services such as ambulance service, and public speeches on health care issues. EJGH counsels and educates patients and guests by discussing eligibility of charity assistance by meeting and monitoring the patients and guests during the entire stay at EJGH.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 EJGH, upon request, shall provide any member of the public or state governmental entity a copy of its financial assistance/charity care policy. The policy will also be available on the EJGH website. In addition, notification about EJGH's financial assistance/charity care policy, which shall include a contact number, shall be disseminated by EJGH by various means, which may include, but are not limited to, the publication of notices in patient bills and by posting notices in emergency rooms, urgent care centers, admitting and registration departments, hospital business offices, and patient financial services offices that are located on facility campuses, and at other public places as EJGH may elect. Information shall also be included on facility websites and in the conditions of admission form. Such information shall be provided in the primary languages spoken by the population services by EJGH. Referral of patients for financial assistance may be made by any member of the EJGH staff or medical staff, including physicians, nurses, financial counselors, social workers, case managers, chaplains, and religious sponsors. A request for financial assistance may be made by the patient or a family member, close friend, or associate of the patient, subject to applicable privacy laws.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 EJGH primarily serves the east bank of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, with patients extending into neighboring Parishes.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 All revenues generated by the hospital are in furtherance of our exempt purpose. In addition, EJGH provides a free and below cost care program on its own ambulance service at no charge, various contributions to parish programs such as prison medical unit, community education, comprehensive early detection programs, facilities for various community groups, and numerous other services to the community. The program service revenue generated allows us to provide quality, dependable health care in our community. The Organization maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy and the estimated cost of those services and supplies. The amount of charges foregone, based on established rates during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $1,339,000 and $1,059,000, respectively. Although not accounted for as charity care, the Organization considers the contractual adjustment expense related to the Medicaid services as charity care.
