STARTED IN 1995 AS A WAY FOR AREA HOSPITALS TO IDENTIFY AND SERVE UNMET HEALTH NEEDS, ACTION HEALTH NOW MANAGES THE ONGOING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EFFORTS FOR GEISINGER AND COORDINATES INPUT AND RESPONSES WITH ALL PROVIDERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY EVENTS CALENDAR. OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS CALENDAR PROVIDES A LIST OF FREE EVENTS WITH PRACTICAL ADVICE TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HEALTHY, INCLUDING: PREVENTIVE HEALTH SCREENINGS; HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS; HEALTH FAIRS; OPEN HOUSES; SUPPORT GROUPS; BABY AND CHILDBIRTH CLASSES; BLOOD DRIVES AND MORE. THE CALENDAR IS AVAILABLE AT HTTPS://EVENTS.GEISINGER.ORG/EVENTS.CFM MEDICATION DISPOSAL PROJECT. A REPORT BY THE OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY REVEALS THAT TEENS ABUSE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS MORE THAN ANY ILLICIT DRUG EXCEPT MARIJUANA-INCLUDING COCAINE, HEROIN AND METHAMPHETAMINE COMBINED. THAT'S WHY WE'RE LEADING THE FIGHT TO KEEP EXPIRED/UNUSED MEDICINE AWAY FROM CHILDREN, TEENS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN OUR REGION. GEISINGER IS COORDINATING EFFORTS TO ADDRESS SAFE MEDICATION DISPOSAL, AND ORGANIZING RESOURCES THROUGH 4 MAJOR PROGRAM AREAS: LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PROVIDE DISPOSAL OPTIONS; LOCAL UNIVERSITIES TO RESEARCH AND TO ORGANIZE, COLLECT AND DESTROY UNUSED MEDICATIONS; EDUCATE SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE ABOUT THE HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL DANGERS OF OLD, UNUSED PRESCRIPTIONS; AND COLLABORATION WITH REGIONAL AND STATEWIDE ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS TO ADVOCATE THE ELIMINATION OF MEDICATION DISPOSAL INTO OUR WATERWAYS. MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THROUGH GEISINGER'S PHARMACEUTICAL REIMBURSEMENT DEPARTMENT THIS PROGRAM ASSISTS INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE, CANNOT AFFORD THEIR HIGH-DOLLAR CO-PAYS, WHO ARE IN THE MEDICARE PART-D COVERAGE GAP OR "DONUT HOLE- OR HAVE INADEQUATE INSURANCE. GEISINGER COORDINATORS CHECK TO SEE IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, VERIFY IF MEDICATION IS COVERED BY INSURANCE AND HELP SOLVE OTHER REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES. IN SOME CASES, WE'LL APPROVE A "HOLD YOU OVER" SUPPLY OF MEDICINE FROM ONE OF OUR PHARMACIES WHILE YOU WAIT FOR YOUR PROGRAM MEDICATIONS TO ARRIVE. TEXTING U 4 BETTER HEALTH. THE HOSPITAL'S GOAL IS TO USE TEXTING TO IMPROVE HEALTH, PROMOTE SAFE MEDICATION USAGE AND PROMOTE PREVENTIVE CARE.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C - OTHER INCOME BASED CRITERIA FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE PART I, LINE 3A: DID THE ORGANIZATION USE FPG AS A FACTOR IN DETERMINING FREE CARE? YES, EFFECTIVE 07/01/2014, THE ELIGIBILITY FOR 100% DISCOUNTED FREE CARE UNDER THE GEISINGER-COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (GCMC) FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS EXPANDED BY INCREASING THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME THRESHOLD FROM 200% TO 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. PART I, LINE 3C: FACTORS OTHER THAN FPG IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE: SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR ELIGIBILITY MAY CONSIST OF INCOME AND ASSET INFORMATION, INCLUSIVE BUT NOT LIMITED TO: FEDERAL INCOME TAX FORM 1040 FROM THE PRIOR YEAR, PAY STUB COPIES (FROM FOUR PRIOR PAY PERIODS), WRITTEN VERIFICATION OF ANY OTHER INCOME RECEIVED (I.E. SOCIAL SECURITY, ADC, CHILD SUPPORT, ALIMONY, ETC.), CURRENT CREDIT REPORTS AND ASSET VERIFICATION. GCMC MAY ALSO UTILIZE INDUSTRY TESTED EXTERNAL ANALYTICS TOOLS TO QUALIFY PATIENTS FOR UNCOMPENSATED CARE (AKA PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY).
PART I, LINE 6A - RELATED ORGANIZATION INFORMATION A SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROVIDED BY GEISINGER-COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (GCMC) AND ITS RELATED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IS INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM AND IS AVAILABLE AT GEISINGER.ORG AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST. THE REPORT CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTP://WWW.GEISINGER.ORG/PAGES/ABOUT-GEISINGER/PAGES/ANNUAL- REPORTS.HTML
PART I, LINE 7G - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXPLANATION THERE ARE NO PHYSICIAN CLINICAL SERVICES INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.
PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE COSTS REPORTED ON LINE 7 AND ADDRESSED PATIENT SEGMENTS BY PAYOR (E.G. MEDICARE, MEDICAID, COMMERCIAL PAYORS, SELF-PAY, ETC.). A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS CALCULATED PURSUANT TO WORKSHEET 2 OF THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY REFER TO THE RESPONSE FOR PART III, LINE 4.
PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS ARE MONITORED THROUGHOUT THE BILLING PROCESS AND ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE (100% DISCOUNTED CARE) WHENEVER A PATIENT BECOMES ELIGIBLE UNDER GCMC'S UNCOMPENSATED OR CHARITY CARE POLICIES. BASED ON EXPERIENCE, GCMC ESTIMATES THAT APPROXIMATELY 52.5% OF THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS ARE SUBSEQUENTLY RECLASSIFIED TO UNCOMPENSATED OR CHARITY CARE.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PART III, LINE 2 AND 4: GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM FOUNDATION AND ITS AFFILIATES (THE "SYSTEM"), THAT INCLUDES GEISINGER-COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (GCMC), PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL CHARITABLE AFFILIATES. THE ORGANIZATIONS WRITE OFF ALL ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS UNCOLLECTABLE. AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTABLE ACCOUNTS IS RECORDED FOR ACCOUNTS NOT YET WRITTEN OFF THAT ARE ANTICIPATED TO BECOME UNCOLLECTABLE IN FUTURE PERIODS. FOR THE FOOTNOTES REGARDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES SEE PAGE 8 OF THE ATTACHED GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, JUNE 30, 2015 AND JUNE 30, 2014. FOR THE FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT, SEE PAGE 13 OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION PART III, LINE 3-BAD DEBT AND LINE 8-MEDICARE: LINE 6 ONLY INCLUDES THOSE COSTS THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BE REPORTED ON GCMC'S MEDICARE COST REPORT THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SATISFYING THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," AS ARTICULATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, IS CURRENTLY REQUIRED FOR A HOSPITAL TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) 501(C)(3). THIS RULING REMOVED THE PREVIOUS REQUIREMENT OF REVENUE RULING 56-185, KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD," THAT IN ORDER TO BE A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE. THIS EARLIER RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL WAS NOT CHARITABLE SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. REVENUE RULING 56-185 ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT IMPACT A HOSPITAL'S CHARITABLE STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. REVENUE RULING 69-545 INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED THOSE WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES EITHER BY THEMSELVES, THROUGH PRIVATE INSURANCE OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS CHARITABLE BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM CHARITABLE, AS REQUIRED BY TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO THOSE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER FACTORS THAT DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT INCLUDED: SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH; AND IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") HOLDS THE POSITION THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS) AND BAD DEBT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. IN A LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 RESPONDING TO A DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA ARGUES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS) IS COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: -PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS REMAINS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. -MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR HOSPITALS SPEND TO CARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE. -MANY MEDICARE PATIENTS, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46% OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, SO CALLED -DUAL ELIGIBLES". PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS LIKE GCMC TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM LEVEL OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO RETAIN EXEMPTION FROM STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. ACCORDING TO STATE GUIDANCE AND CASE LAW, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE AND BAD DEBT IS CONSIDERED TO BE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR STATE TAX EXEMPTION PURPOSES. GCMC CONSIDERS THE TOTAL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) OF 10,584,035 SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. ALONG WITH PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICAID PATIENTS AND PROVIDING FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE TO OTHER LOW INCOME PATIENTS, THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. FOR MANY OF THE MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL, MEDICARE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS, FORCING GCMC TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE SHORTFALL. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY GCMC IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. GCMC PROVIDES CARE REGARDLESS OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND IS THEREBY PROVIDING ACCESS TO MEDICAL SERVICES FOR THE ELDERLY AND RELIEVING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY THAT MEDICARE PATIENTS WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER NEEDS BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. THE AMOUNT EXPENDED TO COVER THE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS. BOTH GCMC AND THE AHA BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT BE REPORTED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS), BAD DEBT (PART III, LINE 3) SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE: -A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO FOR MANY REASONS DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY UNDER GCMC'S CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP). A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO"), "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." -THE CBO REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR CHARITABLE MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENT WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ACCORDING THE CBO REPORT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. (IN FY 2015, APPROXIMATELY 52.5% OF GCMC'S BAD DEBT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE.) THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE (BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE) AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZED NATIONALLY. THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE REINFORCE THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHS, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE CHARITABLE MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS' SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL INVESTS SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN SYSTEMS AND STAFF TRAINING TO ASSIST PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION GCMC IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICAL NECESSARY SERVICES TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND GMC'S COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED TO ALL PATIENTS. IT IS GCMC POLICY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COUNSELING TO PATIENTS WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS. A PATIENT MAY BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT ANY TIME DURING TREATMENT OR DURING THE CONTINUUM OF THE FINANCIAL/BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. IN ANY STAGE OF THE BILLING PROCESS, COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE NOT PURSUED WHENEVER A PATIENT APPLIES AND IS BEING EVALUATED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL GCMC FREEZE OR ATTACH BANK ACCOUNTS OF A PATIENT, ENFORCE LIENS, ACTIVELY PURSUE ASSETS FROM A PRIOR JUDGMENT OR GARNISH THE WAGES OF A PATIENT AND/OR FAMILY MEMBER BEFORE DETERMINING IF THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER GCMC'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT GEISINGER-COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER REGULARLY PARTICIPATES IN COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS TO IDENTIFY FAR-REACHING HEALTH NEEDS FACED BY THE POPULATION SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PURPOSES. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013, AS A MEMBER OF THE HEALTHY NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA INITIATIVE (THE "INITIATIVE"), GCMC PARTICIPATED IN A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) CONDUCTED BY THE INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (THE "INSTITUTE"). ASSESSMENT RESULTS ARE EVALUATED OVER TIME AND SERVE AS THE BASIS TO DEVELOP NEW OR EXPANDED PLANS TO ADDRESS SERVICES IN RESPONSE TO NEED. ADDITIONALLY, GCMC DEVELOPS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND MAKES INVESTMENTS IN INITIATIVES THAT ALIGN WITH THE HOSPITAL'S CORE MISSION. BEYOND THAT FOCUS ARE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT BENEFIT EVERY RESIDENT AND SUPPORT THE FAR REACHING GOAL OF A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY. THOSE HEALTHY COMMUNITY GOALS HAVE SERVED AS A CATALYST FOR A COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY APPROACH GCMC HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN ESTABLISHING IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS, HEALTH STATUS, AND QUALITY OF LIFE INDICATORS OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE LACKAWANNA COUNTY AND LUZERNE COUNTY COMMUNITIES. THE HOSPITAL IS A CHARTER MEMBER OF HEALTHY NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA INITIATIVE (HNPI), AN ALLIANCE AMONG MEMBER REGIONAL HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS AND THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. THE GOAL OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO ASSESS AND ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, INCREASE REGIONAL HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, AND FACILITATE AWARENESS, EDUCATION AND WELLNESS FOR RESIDENTS OF NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. IN ADDITION TO GCMC, OTHER REGIONAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS PARTICIPATING IN THE HNPI COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT INCLUDED, AMONG OTHERS: PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, WILKES-BARRE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, WYOMING VALLEY UNITED WAY, MIGRANT WORKERS PROGRAM IN HAZLETON, MATERNAL AND FAMILY HEALTH, LUZERNE COUNTY TASK FORCE ON DRUG AND ALCOHOL, ALLIED SERVICES, BLUE CROSS OF NEPA, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER, MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS, MOSES TAYLOR HOSPITAL/FOUNDATION, THE COMMONWEALTH MEDICAL COLLEGE, WYOMING VALLEY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, .ASSESSMENT SURVEYS WERE DONE IN 1997, 2003 AND 2009, WITH THE MOST RECENT SURVEY COMPLETED IN 2012. THE STUDY'S MAIN OBJECTIVE WAS TO COMPLETE A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE HEALTHCARE ACCESS NEEDS, HEALTH STATUS, AND QUALITY OF LIFE INDICATORS OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE LACKAWANNA COUNTY AND LUZERNE COUNTY COMMUNITIES. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE PROJECT GOALS WERE: -TO OBTAIN STATISTICALLY VALID INFORMATION ON THE HEALTH STATUS AND SOCIOECONOMIC/ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS RELATED TO HEALTH OF RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTIES HEALTHY NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA INITIATIVE (HNPI) SERVES. - TO SUPPLEMENT THE GENERAL POPULATION SURVEY DATA THAT IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO HNPI AS AN ORGANIZATION. -TO ASSURE THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS, INCLUDING THOSE OF BROAD RACIAL, ETHNIC, CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC MINORITY GROUPS, ARE THE PRIMARY PARTICIPANTS IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY PROCESS. IN ADDITION, EDUCATORS, HEALTH-RELATED PROFESSIONALS, MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, INSTITUTES OF HIGHER LEARNING, RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR ARE ALL ENGAGED AT SOME LEVEL OF THE SURVEY PROCESS. -TO DEVELOP ACCURATE COMPARISONS TO THE STATE AND NATIONAL BASELINES OF HEALTH MEASURES, UTILIZING THE MOST CURRENT VALIDATED DATA AVAILABLE. -TO UTILIZE DATA OBTAINED FROM THE ASSESSMENT TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS OF THE HNPI SERVICE AREA. -TO PROVIDE HNPI WITH APPROPRIATE DATA COMPARISONS, ON LIKE SURVEY QUESTIONS, TO THE 1997-98, 2003-04 AND 2008-2009 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS' HOUSEHOLD SURVEY DATA. THESE DATA COMPARISONS WILL ALLOW HNPI TO DISCOVER BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH TRENDS. -TO COMPLETE A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WHICH NOT ONLY REACHES MINORITY/UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS BUT ALSO ADDRESSES A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMUNITY HEALTH TOPICS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: ACCESS TO CARE, CHRONIC DISEASE PREVALENCE, PREVENTIVE HEALTH, HEALTH STATUS, ACCESS TO COMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, QUALITY OF LIFE INDICATORS, AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BEHAVIORS. THE MAJOR HEALTH NEED THEMES WHICH CONSISTENTLY SURFACED IN THE VARIOUS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS INCLUDED: IMPROVING THE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR UNDER AND UNINSURED; IMPROVING HEALTHY BEHAVIORS (I.E., OBESITY AND BROADLY, THE RELATED "DISEASE BURDEN/PREVENTION"); AND EXPANDING TREATMENT AND EDUCATION ON DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE.
PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE FOR URGENT AND EMERGENT SERVICES, PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED CARE REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. IN THE EVENT A PATIENT HAS AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION, TREATMENT IS NOT DELAYED TO PERMIT AN INQUIRY REGARDING A PATIENT'S METHOD OF PAYMENT OR INSURANCE STATUS. FOR OTHER THAN URGENT AND EMERGENT SERVICES, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES UNCOMPENSATED CARE, FREE OF CHARGE, OR ON A 100% DISCOUNTED BASIS, TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE AN INABILITY TO PAY. DEPENDING UPON FAMILY SIZE AND INCOME, FREE OR 100% DISCOUNTED SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO A PATIENT WITH FAMILY INCOME OF 300% OR LESS OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. IT IS GEISINGER POLICY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND FINANCIAL COUNSELING TO PATIENTS OF LIMITED MEANS. A PATIENT MAY BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT ANY TIME DURING TREATMENT OR DURING THE CONTINUUM OF THE FINANCIAL/BILLING PROCESS. INFORMATION (SIGNS, BROCHURES, ETC.) REGARDING GEISINGER'S CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES ARE PROVIDED AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM, REGISTRATION AND VARIOUS ACCESS POINTS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL. REGISTRATION PERSONNEL ALSO REFER UNINSURED AND/OR LOW INCOME PATIENTS TO FINANCIAL COUNSELORS TO DISCUSS THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. NOTICE OF GEISINGER'S CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON THE GEISINGER WEB SITE AT WWW.GEISINGER.ORG. PATIENTS ARE ALSO PROVIDED INFORMATION ON GEISINGER'S CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES WITH EACH PATIENT BILL.
PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION GEISINGER-CCOMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER'S SERVICE AREA INCLUDES 9 COUNTIES IN NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA (BRADFORD, CARBON, LACKAWANNA, LUZERNE, MONROE, PIKE, SUSQUEHANNA, WAYNE, AND WYOMING). THE APPROXIMATE 2013 TOTAL POPULATION WITHIN THIS SERVICE AREA WAS 1,009,439. THIS POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO DECLINE.2% BY 2018, WHILE AN INCREASE IN THE RATE OF GROWTH IS EXPECTED FOR THE STATE AND NATION (1.0% AND 3.3%, RESPECTIVELTY.) IN 2013, THE 65 AND OVER AGE GROUP IS 18.1% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION, WHICH WAS GREATER THAN THE STATE (16.43%) AND NATIONAL (13.9%) PROPORTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE 65 AND OVER AGE GROUP IS THE AGE SEGMENT PROJECTED TO EXPERIENCE THE LARGEST FIVE-YEAR POPULATION GROWTH OF 12.5%. THE REGION IS PRIMARILY RURAL, WITH SMALL SUBURBAN AND URBAN POCKETS. AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME, IN 2013, WAS 60,143, WITH APPROXIMATELY 14.4% OF THE POPULATION FALLING BELOW FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, IN 2012, WHICH IS GREATER THAN THE STATE PROPORTION OF 13.7%. THE 2012 AVERAGE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, THE MOST CURRENT FULL YEAR OF COUNTY LEVEL DATA AVAILABLE FROM THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISITICS, WAS 9.2%, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN BOTH THE COMMONWEALTH RATE OF 7.9%, AND THE NATIONAL RATE OF 8.1%. WITHIN THE 9 COUNTY SERVICE AREA, 14.5% OF GCMC'S INPATIENT DISCHARGES DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013 WERE SELF-PAY OR CHARITY CARE OR WERE MEDICAID RECIPIENTS. THE REGION INCLUDES MULTIPLE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS AND POPULATIONS. THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES HAS DESIGNATED LACKAWANNA COUNTY AS A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA/POPULATION DUE TO: TOO FEW PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, HIGH INFANT MORTALITY, HIGH POVERTY AND/OR HIGH ELDERLY POPULATION. THERE ARE 2 GEISINGER GENERAL MEDICAL/SURGICAL HOSPITALS (GWV AND GCMC), AND 15 GENERAL MEDICAL/SURGICAL NON-GEISINGER HOSPITALS IN THIS MARKET.

PART VI, LINE 6 - AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER D/B/A GESINGER-COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (GCMC) IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THE GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM. GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM IS A PHYSICIAN-LED, INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES ORGANIZATION THAT HAS AS ITS MAIN COMPONENTS: 1) AN ARRAY OF HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDERS, INCLUDING SIX ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS AND A DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT FACILITY; 2) A MULTISPECIALTY PHYSICIAN GROUP PRACTICE OF 1,136 PHYSICIANS PRACTICING AT 91 PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CLINICS; AND 3) ONE OF THE NATION'S LARGEST RURAL HEALTH INSURANCE ORGANIZATIONS WITH 478,501 MEMBERS. GEISINGER OPERATES IN 44 OF PENNSYLVANIA'S 67 COUNTIES, WITH A SIGNIFICANT PRESENCE IN CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, PRIMARILY OUTSIDE THE MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS, GEISINGER AT A GLANCE. -PHYSICIAN PRACTICE GROUP - MULTISPECIALTY GROUP PRACTICE WITH 1,136 EMPLOYED PHYSICIANS PRACTICING AT 91 CLINIC SITES -MANAGED CARE COMPANIES 478,501 MEMBERS -PROVIDER FACILITIES INCLUDES 1,326 LICENSED HOSPITAL BEDS, 344 SKILLED NURSING FACILITY BEDS AND 91 CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY BEDS. MISSION. GEISINGER'S MISSION IS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH AN INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICE ORGANIZATION BASED ON A BALANCED PROGRAM OF PATIENT CARE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. THIS MISSION STATEMENT HAS BEEN SUMMARIZED INTO FOUR WORDS - "HEAL. TEACH. DISCOVER. SERVE." HISTORY. GEISINGER HAD ITS BEGINNINGS IN THE SMALL COMMUNITY OF DANVILLE, WHICH IS LOCATED IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA ON THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER. THERE, IN 1915, ABIGAIL A. GEISINGER FOUNDED THE GEORGE F. GEISINGER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN MEMORY OF HER HUSBAND. FROM THE BEGINNING, THE NEW HOSPITAL WAS DESIGNED AS A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE INSTITUTION THAT WOULD OFFER SPECIALIZED MEDICAL CARE TO PEOPLE IN THE RURAL AREAS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. UNLIKE MOST HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, WHICH EVOLVED WITH A HOSPITAL FOCUS, GEISINGER'S HISTORY AND TRADITION IS THAT OF A PHYSICIAN-LED AND PHYSICIAN-DRIVEN HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION. THIS TRADITION BEGAN WHEN MRS. GEISINGER BROUGHT DR. HAROLD FOSS, A MAYO CLINIC TRAINED PHYSICIAN, TO BE HER HOSPITAL'S FIRST CHIEF OF STAFF. TODAY, GEISINGER IS REGARDED AS A NATIONAL MODEL OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY CENTERED ON A SOPHISTICATED MULTISPECIALTY GROUP PRACTICE. SINCE THE 1970S, GEISINGER'S STRATEGY OF INTEGRATING PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH AND THE FINANCING OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES THROUGH ITS WHOLLY CONTROLLED HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION, GEISINGER HEALTH PLAN. TWO INDEMNITY HEALTH INSURERS, GEISINGER INDEMNITY INSURANCE COMPANY AND GEISINGER QUALITY OPTIONS, INC., KNOWN COLLECTIVELY WITH GEISINGER HEALTH PLAN AS "GEISINGER HEALTH PLANS- OR "GHPS", HAVE BEEN ADDED IN RECENT YEARS. CORPORATE STRUCTURE. THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM REFLECTS THE STRATEGIC GOAL OF OPERATING AS A FULLY INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WHOSE CORPORATE COMPONENTS SHARE THE COMMON GOALS OF MANAGING AND IMPROVING THE HEALTHCARE OF ITS PATIENTS AND MEMBERS, WHILE RECOGNIZING AND RESPECTING THE CORPORATE IDENTITY OF EACH ENTITY. THIS INTEGRATION LINKS THE AREAS OF PHYSICIANS, HOSPITALS/CLINICS, AND HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. SEE SCHEDULE R FOR A LIST OF THE AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS COMPRISING THE GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM. THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT THE TERMS "GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM", "GEISINGER- OR "SYSTEM" SHALL REFER TO THE ENTIRE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM COMPRISED OF GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM FOUNDATION ("THE FOUNDATION") AS PARENT AND ALL SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS COMPRISING THE SYSTEM.
