Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 6A - RELATED ORGANIZATION INFORMATION	THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS REPORTED AS PART OF THE COMBINED ANNUAL REPORT PREPARED BY ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.
PART I, LINE 7G - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXPLANATION	THIS SECTION INCLUDES MOBILE OUTREACH SERVICES WHICH PROVIDE FREE SCREENINGS IN THE COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS OTHER SUBSIDIZED CARE IN HOME CARE SERVICES, ASSISTED LIVING AND THE SUPPLY OF DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES.
PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION	THE DATA REPORTED IN THIS AREA IS REPORTED AS INSTRUCTED BY CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION'S "A GUIDE FOR PLANNING AND REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFITS, 2008".
PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER'S ST. MARY'S COMMUNITY CENTER BELIEVES THAT MANY ASPECTS OF LIFE CONTRIBUTE TO GOOD HEALTH. A PERSON'S PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IS INFLUENCED BY THE ENVIRONMENT - WHETHER POSITIVE OR FILLED WITH DISEASE. SINCE WE ARE CONCERNED WITH "THE WHOLE PERSON," ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER PROVIDES ASSISTANCE IN SPIRITUAL CARE, HOUSING, EDUCATION, JOB TRAINING, FOOD, TRANSPORTATION AND ADVOCACY. WITH TEN FULL-TIME CHAPLAINS - MORE THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA - ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER PROVIDES PASTORAL CARE OUTREACH TO ANYONE SEEKING ASSISTANCE (AS REPORTED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES). SUCH UNREIMBURSED SERVICES PROVIDE NECESSARY SPIRITUAL SUPPORT FOR MANY UNDERSERVED CITIZENS WHO ARE WITHOUT A CHURCH HOME OR ACCESS TO A MINISTER. OUR IN-HOUSE PASTORAL CARE SERVICES ALSO REDUCE THE BURDEN OF MINISTERS AND CHURCHES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER AFRICAN AMERICAN HEALTH INFORMATION AND RESOURCE CENTER, NOW MORE THAN 15 YEARS OLD, PROVIDES FREE COMPUTER CLASSES, AN INTERNET CENTER, SUPPORT AND HEALTH INFORMATION AND EDUCATION IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF TRUST. SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS ESSENTIAL TO GOOD HEALTH. FOR OVER EIGHTEEN YEARS, ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER HAS BEEN A PARTNER WITH MERCY HOUSING, WHICH BUILDS AND RENOVATES AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER'S CO-WORKERS ALSO VOLUNTEER FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. FIXING LEAKING ROOFS, MOLD, LEAD PAINT, AND DILAPIDATED FLOORING ALL CONTRIBUTE TO GOOD HEALTH. ST. JOSEPH'S/CANDLER SUPPORTS EDUCATION AS A MEANS TO A GOOD PAYING JOB. THE SYSTEM FULLY FUNDS THE ST. MARY'S GED PROGRAM, AND PROVIDES A PRESCHOOL PROGRAM, AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, AND SUMMER CAMP FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. THE THREE AND FOUR YEAR OLDS SERVED ARE TWO YEARS BEHIND THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT. SUCCESSFUL LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCES SCHOOL SUCCESS AND ULTIMATELY, A GOOD JOB.
PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY	AMOUNTS INCLUDED ON PART III LINE 2 REPRESENT THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES CONSIDERED UNCOLLECTIBLE AFTER REASONABLE ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT, AND WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE IS REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE SYSTEM UTILIZES A VARIETY OF INFORMATION FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA FROM THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE SYSTEM ANALYZES THE COMPONENTS OF KEY PATIENT ACCOUNT DATA INCLUDING SERVICE DATE(S), CHARGES, PAYMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS, BALANCE, FINANCIAL CLASS, PATIENT TYPE, SERVICE TYPE, RESOURCE UNIT CODE AND CLINICAL CODES. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD- PARTY COVERAGE, A VARIETY OF PAYMENT PLANS EXIST BASED ON DATES OF SERVICE, CHARGES, PATIENT TYPE, SERVICE TYPE, RESOURCE VALUE UNIT AND OUTLIER PAYMENT PROVISIONS. THE SYSTEM PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLES, DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH NON-CONTRACT PAYORS AND SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE SYSTEM RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF RECENT, RELEVANT COLLECTION HISTORY BY FINANCIAL CLASS AND/OR INSURANCE PLAN. THIS WILL INDICATE THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED, AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED, IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS INCREASED FROM 73% OF SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT JUNE 30, 2014 TO 74% OF SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT JUNE 30, 2015. IN ADDITION, THE SYSTEM'S BAD DEBT PROVISION INCREASED 4,052,582 FROM 38,729,923 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 TO 42,782,505 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015. THESE CHANGES WERE PRIMARILY THE RESULT OF INCREASES TO THE RATES CHARGED TO PATIENTS AS WELL AS INCREASED UTILIZATION FROM SELF-PAY PATIENTS. EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2014, THE SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED A DISCOUNT FOR QUALIFYING UNINSURED PATIENTS WRITING OFF 70% OF ESTABLISHED CHARGES AT THE TIME OF BILLING. TO QUALIFY, PATIENTS MAY EITHER PAY THEIR BILL IN FULL OR ARRANGE AN APPROVED PAYMENT PLAN.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION	MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE COMPUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH COST REPORTING METHODOLOGIES UTILIZED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH RELATED REGULATIONS. INDIRECT COSTS ARE ALLOCATED TO DIRECT SERVICE AREAS USING THE MOST APPROPRIATE STATISTICAL BASIS.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE HOSPITAL AND AT THE EXTENDED BUSINESS OFFICE, WHICH DOES SELF-PAY BILLING AND COLLECTION, INFORM PATIENTS ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND ASSIST THEM IN MAKING AN APPLICATION. BILLING STATEMENTS PROVIDE A MESSAGE AND TELEPHONE NUMBER TO CALL IF THE PATIENT HAS DIFFICULTY MAKING PAYMENT. FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE AND FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THERE IS NO FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. FOR THOSE WHO QUALIFY FOR PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, COLLECTION PROCEDURES FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS AS ALL OTHER PATIENTS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNPAID BALANCES. THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAVE NOT MADE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEIR REMAINING BALANCES ARE SENT LETTERS WHEN THEY ARE PAST DUE 30, 60, AND 90 DAYS. IF PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE STILL NOT MADE AFTER 90 DAYS, THEN THOSE ACCOUNTS ARE REFERRED TO COLLECTIONS. BEFORE REFERRAL TO A COLLECTION AGENCY, ANY ACCOUNT 2,500 OR LARGER IS SCORED FOR ABILITY TO PAY (USING PARO SOFTWARE), AND IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE OR FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF AS PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY AND NOT REFERRED TO THE AGENCY.
