FISHER-TITUS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Part V, Section B, Line 5: HURON COUNTY CONTRACTED WITH THE HOSPITAL COUNCIL OF NORTHWEST OHIO, A NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION LOCATED IN TOLEDO, OHIO TO COORDINATE AND MANAGE THE HEALTH ASSESSMENT PROCESS. THE PROJECT COORDINATOR FROM THE HOSPITAL COUNCIL OF NW OHIO CONDUCTED A SERIES OF MEETINGS WITH THE PLANNING COMMITTEE FROM HURON COUNTY. DURING THESE MEETINGS, BANKS OF POTENTIAL SURVEY QUESTIONS FROM THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE, YOUTH RISK FACTOR BEHAVIOR SURVEILLANCE AND THE NATIONAL SURVEY OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH WERE REVIEWED AND DISCUSSED. BASED ON INPUT FROM THE HURON COUNTY PLANNING COMMITTEE, THE PROJECT COORDINATOR COMPOSED DRAFTS OF SURVEYS CONTAINING 111 ITEMS FOR THE ADULT SURVEY WITH AN ADDITIONAL 30 QUESTIONS FOR PARENTS OF 0-11 YEAR OLDS, AND 77 ITEMS FOR THE ADOLESCENT SURVEY. THE DRAFTS WERE APPROVED BY HEALTH EDUCATION REASEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 7: the costing methodology used for the charity care segment of the line 7 table was the irs worksheet 1, "charity care at costs" in the instructions. cost to charge ratios were carried over from the irs worksheet 2 as a basis to estimate expenses and was applied to the gross patient chariy care charges recorded in 2015. the costing methodology used for the unreimbursed medicaid segment on the line 7 table were calculated using a cost to charge ratio extracted from the medicaid cost report data. the costing methodology used for the "other benefits" segment of the line 7 table were calculated using a combination of direct costs and our cost accounting system which takes into consideration all patient types and segment.
Part II, Community Building Activities: In 2015, Fisher-Titus's community building activities and benefits provided $11.3 million to support programs that impacted the overall health of our communities and the quality of life of our residents. While hospital-based medical services are the most obvious way we help, FTMC fulfills the health-care needs of our area with community health screenings, education classes, patient assistance programs and support of health-related activities. FTMC employees serve on community and civic boards, health-oriented organizations and are involved in economic development activities throughout the county. FTMC also works with schools; work sites and safety net providers to promote health and wellness and prevent disease. Fisher-Titus is a leader in environmental stewardship, having earned numerous state and national awards.
Part III, Line 4: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED FOR COMPLETING THE SCHEDULE H PART III, LINE 2 is derived from the bad debt expense included in the audited financial statements adjusted by the amount of the write-offs of the accounts that went to bad debt.
PART III, LINE 3 AS A TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, WE MUST PROVIDE NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. MAKING QUALITY PATIENT CARE AVAILABLE TO ALL IN OUR COMMUNITY, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ECONOMIC MEANS, QUALIFIES BAD DEBT AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE IDENTIFICATION OF PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE IS SOLELY BASED ON THE COOPERATION OF THE PATIENT TO PROVIDE THE ORGANIZATION ENOUGH FAMILY AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILTY TO MATCH OUR PROGRAMS. HISTORICALLY, IN ADDITION TO THE INTERNALLY IDENTIFIED CHARITY, 10-13% OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCES TURNED TO COLLECTION WERE SUBSEQUENTLY IDENTIFIED BY THE AGENCY AS CHARITY AND RETURNED. THIS CHARITY IS RECORDED ONLY WHEN IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH VERIFICATION OF INABILITY TO PAY. WE DO BELIEVE THERE IS A SECOND, RELATIVELY EQUAL SEGMENT OF THE BAD DEBT THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY. PATIENTS WITH POOR CREDIT RATINGS AND MULTIPLE CREDITORS MAKING COLLECTION EFFORT FINDS LITTLE VALUE IN COMPLETING THE CHARITY APPLCIATION PROCESS TO ONLY ELIMINATE ONE CREDITOR AND HAVE NO IMPROVEMENT TO THEIR FINANCIAL STATUS.WE ESTIMATE THAT UNDER THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS UNIDENTIFIED CHARITY IN BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS ESTIMATED TO BE AN ADDITIONAL $887,277 OR 25% OF BAD DEBT. SINCE THIS CALCUALTION IS ON AN ACCRUAL BASIS, WE BELEIVE ESTIMATING 10% FOR CHARITY TO BE IDENTIFIED IN FUTURE YEARS AND AN ADDITIONAL 15% FOR BALANCES NEVER IDENTIFIED AS CHARITY IS A VERY CONSERVATIVE AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THIS CHARITY CARE VALUE.
PART III, LINE 4 FOOTNOTE "ALLOWANCES FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS": THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN THE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON SPECIFIC ACCOUNTS, HISTORICAL WRITE OFF EXPERIENCE AND CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH THE MOST UP TO DATE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES.
PART III, LINE 8: FISHER-TITUS MEDICAL CENTER'S MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO EXTRACTED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DATA. THE MEDICAL CENTER BELIEVES THAT ALL OF THE $7.3 MILLION DOLLAR SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, BECAUSE OUR MISSION IS TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE DO NOT LIMIT THE CARE AVAILABLE TO ANY PATIENTS, INCLUDING THOSE COVERED BY MEDICARE. THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY. THIS YEAR, MEDICARE ACCOUNTED FOR 43% OF HOSPITAL REVENUES AND THESE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES WERE PROVIDED CARE IN SPITE OF THIS SHORTFALL. CARING FOR THE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES RELIEVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE TRUE COST FOR THEIR CARE AS THESE PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAVE LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. TAX EXEMPT HOSPITALS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY.
PART III, LINE 9B THE CHARITY POLICY IS A SUBSET OF THE OVERALL COLLECTION POLICY. WHEN PATIENTS ARE IDENTIFIED AS QUALIFYING FOR ANY OF THE CHARITY CATEGORIES WE SEARCH ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES AND PACKAGE THEM WITH THE APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, CHARITY INFORMATION IS SHARED WITH OUR RELATED ORGANIZATIONS AND FORMS THE BASIS FOR THEIR CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS. IN ADDITION, WITH PATIENT APPROVAL, WE MAY CONTACT LOCAL PHYSICIAN PRACTICES WITH THE INFORMATION AS MANY WILL ADJUST THEIR BALANCES BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.
Part VI, Line 2: FISHER-TITUS SPONSORED AND COLLABORATED WITH THE HURON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, NON-PROFITS AND BUSINESSES (CALLED HURON COUNTY HEALTH PARTNERS) TO DEVELOP AND FUND THE HURON COUNTY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN 2014. LOCAL COMMUNITY AGENCIES WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HEALTH ASSESSMENT PROCESS, INCLUDING CHOOSING QUESTIONS FOR THE SURVEYS, PROVIDING GOVERNMENT DATA, REVIEWING DRAFT REPORTS AND PLANNING THE COMMUITY RELEASE OF THE DATA AND SETTING PRIORITIES. THERE WERE OVER 50 KEY LEADERS FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT REPRESENTED PUBLIC HEALTH, LAW ENFORCEMENT, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, LOCAL OFFICIALS, SOCIAL AGENCIES AND OTHER VARIOUS COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE AT THE PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. AT THE EVENT, PARTICIPANTS, PARTICIPATED IN FOCUS GROUPS AND PRIORITIES WERE CHOOSEN FOR AREAS OF HEALTH CONCERN FOR HURON COUNTY TO FOCUS ON OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. FTMC USED THIS INFORMATION TO ADD AND EXPAND SERVICES AND TO RECRUIT PHYSICIANS TO MEET THE THEN IDENTIFIED MEDICAL NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. FROM THESE PRIORITIES, FTMC HAS DEVELOPED NUMEROUS PROGRAMS TARGETING THE COUNTY'S HIGH RATE OF ADULTS WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE; HAVE DIABETES AND/OR CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES.

THE FTMC WEBSITE HAS A SECTION ABOUT THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND CONTRACT INFORMATION. A MESSAGE ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CHARITY CARE ALSO IS INCLUDED ON THE BILLS THAT ARE SENT TO THE PATIENTS. MANY MATERIALS ARE BILINGUAL AND INTERPRETATION SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. THE MEDICAL CENTER SUPPORTS AN OUTSIDE COUNSELOR DEDICATED TO HELPING PATIENTS BECOME QUALIFIED FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. THEY ALSO REFER PATIENTS WHO DON'T QUALIFY FOR THOSE PROGRAMS TO OUR FTMC FINANCIAL COUNSELORS FOR ASSISTANCE WITH H.C.A.P., FISHER-TITUS CHARITY AND FISHER-TITUS COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. OUR SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT REGULARLY REFERS PATIENTS IN NEED TO OUR FINANCIAL COUNSELORS FOR ASSISTANCE. WE ALSO TAKE REFERRALS FROM THE LOCAL COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES, VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIMES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, CHURCHES, ETC. FTMC IS VERY PROACTIVE IN TAKING THE MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY. BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE AT COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS HELD IN THE HOSPITAL AND AT OUTSIDE COMMUNITY EVENTS. FTMC COMMUNICATES THE INFORMATION ABOUT CHARITY CARE PROGRAMS THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER AND LOCAL NEWS MEDIA.
Part VI, Line 4: THE FISHER-TITUS MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE STATE-OF-THE ART HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS OF HURON AND ERIE AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF OTHER CONTIGUOUS COUNTIES WITH THE LATEST MEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS.
