Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 7:	KDMC USED WORKSHEET 2 PROVIDED IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS (FORM 990) TO CALCULATE A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THIS RATIO WAS USED TO CALCULATE CHARITY CARE AT COST. TO CALCULATE UNPAID COSTS OF MEDICAID, THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED, ALONG WITH DATA FROM THE KY MEDICAID COST REPORT. ALL OTHER ITEMS WERE REPORTED AS NET EXPENSE.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $22,372,823.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	THE EXPENSES REPORTED IN PART II FOR COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE THE EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH RECRUITING PHYSICIANS TO MEDICALLY UNDER-SERVED AREAS (MURS). THESE EXPENSES ARE NECESSARY TO ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY IS STAFFED WITH THE PHYSICIANS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE LIVING HERE.
PART III, LINE 2:	KDMC USED WORKSHEET 2 IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS (FORM 990) TO CALCULATE A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THIS RATIO WAS USED TO CALCULATE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST.
PART III, LINE 3:	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS RECORDED AFTER ANY DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS ARE MADE ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS. HOWEVER, THE BUSINESS OFFICE DOES NOT KEEP TRACK OF "NO-RESPONSE" APPLICATIONS AND DOES NOT FEEL THAT THE PORTION CONSIDERED TO BE A COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS MATERIAL.
PART III, LINE 4:	PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REPORTED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF WHEN THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES CONTRACTUAL AMOUNTS DUE AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND INSURED PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES), THE MEDICAL CENTER RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BILLED RATES AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO PROVIDE CARE TO ALL PRESENTING AND ADMITTED PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE COSTS TO PROVIDE CARE, RECEIVING "LESS" THAN WHAT IT COSTS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE CARE TO MEDICARE COVERED LIVES DOES THE HOSPITAL A DISSERVICE. THIS SHORTFALL SHOULD COUNT AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE HOSPITAL USES THE ALLOWABLE COSTS PER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE MOST RECENT COST REPORT DATA AND PROVIDER STATISTICAL AND REIMBURSEMENT REPORT WAS USED TO COMPUTE THE INFORMATION.
PART III, LINE 9B:	THE HOSPITAL HAS A WRITTEN POLICY FOR BAD DEBT. UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE SCREENED FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND OTHER SUCH PROGRAMS BY A CONTRACTED VENDOR. ALL PATIENTS, INSURED AND UNINSURED, WITH VALID MAILING ADDRESSES RECEIVE POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF A 120 DAY PERIOD. IF THERE ARE NO ACTIVE DISPUTES OR OTHER PAYMENT SOURCES AVAILABLE, AND THE BALANCE IS UNPAID AT THE END OF THE STATEMENT PERIOD, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE PLACED WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY TO REPORT AS A BAD DEBT. EACH STATEMENT INCLUDES INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ALONG WITH A NUMBER WHERE REPRESENTATIVES CAN BE REACHED FOR ASSISTANCE.
PART VI, LINE 2:	WE USE A VARIETY OF RESOURCES TO HELP MAKE DECISIONS ON HOW TO BEST TARGET OUR ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING INFORMATION FROM OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, STATE AND COUNTY MORTALITY DATA AND HOSPITAL DATA. WE ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATING ON A HEALTH COALITION, NON-PROFITS BOARDS, ATTENDING COMMUNITY PROGRAMS/MEETINGS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES TO HELP KEEP US INFORMED OF NEEDS, CONCERNS AND ISSUES. ONCE WE KNOW WHAT ISSUES WE WANT TO TARGET, OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES ARE BUILT INTO THE MEDICAL CENTER'S STRATEGIC PLAN. WE ALSO WORKED WITH THE UK COLLEGE OF PUBLIC IN DETERMINING NEEDS AND ADDRESSING PRIORITIES.
PART VI, LINE 3:	THE MEDICAL CENTER'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY PROVIDES DIRECTION FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED SERVICES TO RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE INADEQUATE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY FOR NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES PROVIDED BY KDMC. THE POLICY STATES THAT THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL NOT DENY CARE TO ANY PATIENT REQUIRING CARE DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO PAY. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY PROVIDES GUIDANCE TO ACCESSING ASSISTANCE BASED ON SLIDING SCALE METHODOLOGY AND THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. PATIENTS REQUIRING CARE WITH INCOME BELOW 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED COST SERVICES. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS ON THE KDMC WEBSITE AND THE PHONE NUMBER TO ACCESS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS THROUGH THE PATIENT INFORMATION GUIDE AT ADMITTANCE TO THE HOSPITAL. KDMC WORKS TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS THAT MAY HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES AND OFFERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHEN APPROPRIATE. THERE ARE SIGNS POSTED IN VARIOUS REGISTRATION AREAS INFORMING PATIENTS OF THE PHONE NUMBER TO CALL IF THEY NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ON EACH PATIENT STATEMENT THE INFORMATION IS ALSO PRINTED WITH THE PHONE NUMBER. WE ALSO HAVE FINANCIAL RESOURCE STAFF IN THE OUTPATIENT IMAGING CENTER, HEART & VASCULAR CENTER, ADMITTING AND PRE-ADMISSION TESTING AREAS. ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS RECEIVE CORRESPONDENCE AND PHONE CALLS AND INPATIENTS RECEIVE VISITS FROM OUR MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY VENDOR IN REFERENCE TO GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.
PART VI, LINE 4:	KING'S DAUGHTERS MEDICAL CENTER IS LOCATED IN EASTERN KENTUCKY, WHERE THE KENTUCKY, OHIO AND WEST VIRGINIA STATE LINES MEET. KDMC'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA ENCOMPASSES SIX COUNTIES IN TWO STATES: BOYD, CARTER, GREENUP AND LAWRENCE IN KENTUCKY AND LAWRENCE AND SCIOTO IN OHIO. MORE THAN 265,000 PEOPLE LIVE IN THE SIX-COUNTY PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE CITY WITH A POPULATION AROUND 20,000; THE AREA IS VERY RURAL, COVERING NEARLY 2,000 SQUARE MILES WITH A POPULATION DENSITY OF 126 PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE.

THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA INCOME IS $21,492.66, WELL BELOW THE LEVELS FOR KENTUCKY ($24,063) AND OHIO ($26,953). IN KDMC'S PRIMARY MARKET AREA, 7.26% OF PERSONS UNDER 65 YEARS LACK ANY FORM OF HEALTHCARE COVERAGE.
PART VI, LINE 5:	TO REACH OUR COMMUNITIES AND TO PROVIDE THE BEST OUTREACH SERVICES POSSIBLE, WE PARTNER WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTITIES. WE HAVE ESTABLISHED PARTNERSHIPS WITH AREA RETAILERS, HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, FACTORIES, CITY OF ASHLAND, LOCAL EMS SERVICES, AMERICAN RED CROSS, SUSAN G.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT: DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013, KDMC CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED FOR KDMC'S PRIMARY MARKET AREA AT THE TIME (BOYD, CARTER, GREENUP, & LAWRENCE COUNTIES, KENTUCKY AND LAWRENCE AND SCIOTO, COUNTIES, OHIO) AND SECONDARY MARKET COUNTIES FLOYD AND JOHNSON WHERE KDMC HAS A SIGNIFICANT PRESENCE. THE 2013 ASSESSMENT SHOWED: -LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH (AGE ADJUSTED) ARE PRIMARILY FROM CHRONIC DISEASES INCLUDING HEART DISEASE, CANCER, COPD AND DIABETES. IN ADDITION, UNINTENTIONAL INJURY IS A LEADING CAUSE. THESE RATES ARE HIGHER IN THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MARKET COUNTIES, THAN THE NATION. -RESIDENTS LIVE UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLES WITH 30% OF ADULTS SMOKING, 37% OBESE AND 37% PHYSICALLY INACTIVE. THESE RATES ARE ALL WELL ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. -THE SERVICE AREA HAS A HIGH NUMBER OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, WITH SIX OF SEVEN COUNTIES SHOWING A HIGH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT RATE OF 10.5% (8.6% NATIONALLY), 17% OF THE POPULATION UNINSURED AND 32% OF CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY. -ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS OFTEN CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. IN THE AREA THERE ARE BARRIERS TO LIVING HEALTHY, INCLUDING LOW ACCESS TO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS AND A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE NUMBER OF FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS. COMMUNITY INPUT WAS SOUGHT THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS AND SURVEYS, WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: -FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS CITED, AS BARRIERS TO GOOD HEALTH, IN SCIOTO COUNTY THE FOLLOWING: --UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLES (POOR NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY) --OBESITY --DRUGS AND CRIME RELATED TO DRUGS --TRANSPORTATION -RESPONDENTS TO THE HEALTH SURVEY CITED THE FOLLOWING TOP ISSUES IN THE COUNTY: --SUBSTANCE ABUSE --OBESITY --CHRONIC DISEASES - CANCER, HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES A STRATEGIC PLAN WAS DEVELOPED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND IMPLEMENTATION WAS SLATED FOR 2014-2016. THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES WERE PLANNED AND EXECUTED WHILE KEEPING IN MIND THE ASSESSMENT'S TOP PRIORITIES. KING'S DAUGHTERS DID RECENTLY COMPLETE THEIR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016 AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE NEW IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS 2017-2019. THE NEW IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WILL BE REPORTED ON NEXT FISCAL YEAR. COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY: DURING 2016, KING'S DAUGHTERS, IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR LADY OF BELLEFONTE HOSPITAL (OLBH), CONTINUED TO CO-COORDINATE THE HEALTHY CHOICES, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES COALITION. BEFORE 2015, BOTH HOSPITALS WERE OPERATING COALITIONS SEPARATELY. OLBH AND KDMC KNEW THAT TO REALLY MAKE CHANGE AND IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH BOTH HOSPITALS AND THEIR PARTNERS NEEDED TO MERGE, WORK TOGETHER AND UTILIZE EXISTING RESOURCES. SINCE THEN, THE COALITION HAS BEEN MEETING REGULARLY TO TACKLE HEALTH ISSUES IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF 2016 INCLUDE: - HELD 4 COALITION MEETINGS IN FY16; - KDMC, OLBH, THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WORKED WITH THE COALITION TO COMPLETE THE FY16 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR BOTH HOSPITALS; 4 FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD IN BOYD, CARTER AND GREENUP COUNTIES IN KY AND LAWRENCE CO. IN OHIO; SURVEYS ALSO CONDUCTED. -ASSISTED THE ASHLAND-BOYD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WITH THEIR ACCREDITATION; - PARTICIPATED IN THE ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF FITNESS IN DOWNTOWN ASHLAND; -FOUR WORKGROUPS OF THE COALITION (SUBSTANCE ABUSE, POVERTY, ACCESS TO CARE AND OBESITY) MET IN BETWEEN THE LARGER COALITION MEETINGS; AN EMPLOYEE OF KING'S DAUGHTERS HAS CHAIRED THE COALITION FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS AND IN 2015 BECAME CO-CHAIR WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM OLBH. AS CO-CHAIR, THIS EMPLOYEE SPENDS A GREAT DEAL OF TIME COORDINATING AND OVERSEEING THE WORK OF THE ENTIRE GROUP.
