Form and Line Reference	Explanation
FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 5	SECTION B., COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, LINES 3, 5 AND 6A: GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (GCMC), A 294-BED COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER LOCATED IN SCRANTON, PA, CONTRACTED WITH TRIPP UMBACH TO FACILITATE A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED BETWEEN OCTOBER 2014 AND MARCH 2015 THAT IDENTIFIES THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS SERVED BY GCMC. AS A PARTNERING HOSPITAL OF A REGIONAL COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO ASSESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS; GCMC COLLABORATED WITH HOSPITALS AND OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SURROUNDING REGION(INCLUDING LACKAWANNA, LUZERNE, AND WAYNE COUNTIES) DURING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY GCMC INCLUDES LACKAWANNA, LUZERNE, AND WAYNE COUNTIES. THE GCMC PRIMARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES 23 POPULATED ZIP CODE WHERE 80% OF THE HOSPITAL'S INPATIENT DISCHARGES ORIGINATED. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS IN SOME WAY: ADVOCACY ALLIANCE, ALLIED SERVICES FOUNDATION, CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES, GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM FAMILY, HEALTHY NORTHEAST PA INITIATIVE, LACKAWANNA COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY, NHS HUMAN SERVICES, NORTHEASTERN PA HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION, NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA INITIATIVE, PA OFFICE OR RURAL HEALTH, PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH-NORTHEAST DIVISION, PANUSKA COLLEGE FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDIES, REHABILITATION COMMUNITY PROVIDER ASSOCIATION, SCRANTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SCRANTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, SENIOR CENTERS, THE EDWARD R. LEAHY JR. CENTER CLINIC FOR THE UNINSURED, THE WRIGHT CENTER, TREHAB, UNITED NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, UNITED WAYS OF WYOMING VALLEY, LACKAWANNA AND WAYNE COUNTIES , VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE FREE CLINIC WAYNE COUNTY CAREERLINK, AND WILKES-BARRE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. TRIPP UMBACH, HEADQUARTERED IN PITTSBURGH, PA, IS A RECOGNIZED NATIONAL LEADER IN CONDUCTING CHNAS, HAVING CONDUCTED MORE THAN 250 CHNAS OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS, WITH MORE THAN 50 HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS. TODAY, MORE THAN 1 IN 5 AMERICANS LIVE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE TRIPP UMBACH HAS COMPLETES A CHNA. PAUL UMBACH, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF TRIPP UMBACH, IS AMONG THE MOST EXPERIENCED COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANNERS IN THE NATION, HAVING DIRECTED PROJECTS IN EVERY STATE AND INTERNATIONALLY. TRIPP UMBACH HAS WRITTEN TWO NATIONAL GUIDE BOOKS ON THE TOPIC OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND HAS PRESENTED AT MORE THAN 50 STATE AND NATIONAL HEALTH CONFERENCES. THE ADDITIONAL TRIPP UMBACH TEAM BROUGHT MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE TO THE PROJECT. KEY DATA SOURCES IN THE CHNA INCLUDED: CHNA PLANNING: A SERIES OF PLANNING MEETINGS WAS FACILITATED BY TRIPP UMBACH AND THE CHNA OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, CONSISTING OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM GCMC AND OTHER PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND ORGANIZATIONS (I.E., GEISINGER BLOOMSBURG HOSPITAL, GEISINGER HEALTHSOUTH REHABILITATION HOSPITAL, GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER, GEISINGER LEWISTOWN HOSPITAL AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.) SECONDARY DATA: THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY IS LARGELY RELATED TO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ITS RESIDENTS. AN INDIVIDUAL'S AGE, RACE, GENDER, EDUCATION AND ETHNICITY OFTEN DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IMPACT HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS TO CARE. TRIPP UMBACH COMPLETED COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF HEALTH STATUS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS RELATED TO THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY RESIDENTS FROM EXISTING DATA SOURCES SUCH AS, STATE AND COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, THOMPSON REUTERS, CNI, HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 AND OTHER DATA SOURCES. TRENDING FROM 2012 CHNA: IN 2012, GCMC CONTRACTED WITH TRIPP UMBACH TO COMPLETE A CHNA FOR THE SAME SERVICE AREA, (LACKAWANNA, LUZERNE AND WAYNE COUNTIES.) THE DATA SOURCES USED WHERE NOT THE SAME DATA SOURCES USED IN THE 2012 CHNA. HOWEVER, TRIPP UMBACH USED DATA FOR THE SAME YEARS WHICH MADE IT POSSIBLE TO REVIEW TRENDS AND CHANGES ACROSS THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA. DATA AND FINDINGS FROM THE PREVIOUS CHNA WERE CONSIDERED AND CARRIED OVER TO THIS CHNA WHEN APPLICABLE. THERE WERE SEVERAL DATA SOURCES WITH CHANGES IN THE DEFINITION OF SPECIFIC INDICATORS, WHICH RESTRICTED THE USE OF TRENDING IN SEVERAL CASES. THE FACTORS THAT COULD NOT BE TRENDED ARE CLEARLY DEFINED IN THE SECONDARY DATA. INTERVIEWS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS: TRIPP UMBACH WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE COLLABORATING ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY LEADERS FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT 1) HAD PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTISE, 2) WERE PROFESSIONALS WITH ACCESS TO HEALTH- RELATED DATA AND 3) WERE REPRESENTATIVES OF UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS (I.E., CHILDREN, SENIORS, LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS, HOMELESS, DISABLED AND RESIDENTS THAT OF THE LATINO(A), AND RESIDENTS THAT WERE UNINSURED). A SERIES OF 17 INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING: ADVOCACY ALLIANCE, ALLIED SERVICES FOUNDATION, CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES, GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM FAMILY, LACKAWANNA COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY, , NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION, NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA INITIATIVE, PANUSKA COLLEGE FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDIES PA OFFICE OR RURAL HEALTH, PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH-NORTHEAST DIVISION, REHABILITATION COMMUNITY PROVIDER ASSOCIATION, SCRANTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SCRANTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, SENIOR CENTERS, THE WRIGHT CENTER, UNITED NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, UNITED WAYS OF WYOMING VALLEY, LACKAWANNA AND WAYNE COUNTIES, VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE FREE CLINIC AND WILKES-BARRE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. SURVEY OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: TRIPP UMBACH WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE CHNA OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO ENSURE THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS, INCLUDING UNDERREPRESENTED RESIDENTS, WERE INCLUDED IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT THROUGH A SURVEY PROCESS. A TOTAL OF 266 SURVEYS WERE COLLECTED IN THE GCMC SERVICE AREA. TRIPP UMBACH WORKED WITH THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO DESIGN A 33- QUESTION HEALTH STATUS SURVEY. THE SURVEY WAS ADMINISTERED BY COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS (I.E., THE VOLUNTEERS IN MEDICINE FREE CLINIC, THE DENTAL HEALTH CLINIC, THE UNITED WAY OF WYOMING VALLEY, WAYNE COUNTY CAREERLINK, NHS HUMAN SERVICES, THE EDWARD R. LEAHY JR. CENTER CLINIC FOR THE UNINSURED, TREHAB, THE WRIGHT CENTER, AND LOCAL SENIOR CENTERS AND HOME HEALTH AGENCIES) PROVIDING SERVICES TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA. COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS WERE TRAINED TO ADMINISTER THE SURVEY USING HAND-DISTRIBUTION. SURVEYS WERE ADMINISTERED ONSITE AND SECURELY MAILED TO TRIPP UMBACH FOR TABULATION AND ANALYSIS. SURVEYS WERE ANALYZED USING SPSS SOFTWARE. VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WERE IDENTIFIED BY THE CHNA OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND THROUGH STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS. VULNERABLE POPULATIONS TARGETED BY THE SURVEYS WERE SENIORS, LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS (INCLUDING FAMILIES), AND RESIDENTS THAT ARE UNDER/UNINSURED. PRIORITIZATION OF TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: TOP HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED BY COMMUNITY LEADERS DURING A REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFICATION FORUM HELD ON MARCH 5, 2015. CONSULTANTS PRESENTED TO COMMUNITY LEADERS THE CHNA FINDINGS FROM ANALYZING SECONDARY DATA, KEY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS AND SURVEYS. COMMUNITY LEADERS DISCUSSED THE DATA PRESENTED, SHARED THEIR VISIONS AND PLANS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND IDENTIFIED AND PRIORITIZED THE TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN THE GCMC COMMUNITY. PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING THE 2012 CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: TRIPP UMBACH SOLICITED PUBLIC COMMENTARY FROM COMMUNITY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS. COMMENTERS WERE PROVIDED ACCESS AND ASKED TO REVIEW THE CHNA AND ACTION PLAN ADOPTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 2013. COMMENTERS WERE THEN ASKED TO RESPOND TO A QUESTIONNAIRE WHICH PROVIDED OPEN AND CLOSED RESPONSE QUESTIONS. THE PRIOR CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ALONG WITH THE QUESTIONNAIRE WERE OFFERED IN HARD COPY AT TWO LOCATIONS INSIDE THE HOSPITAL AND WERE ALSO PROVIDED ELECTRONICALLY USING A WEB-BASED PLATFORM. THERE WERE NO RESTRICTIONS OR QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED OF PUBLIC COMMENTERS. FLYERS WERE CIRCULATED AND ELECTRONIC INVITATIONS WERE MADE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS WHICH LASTED FROM DECEMBER 2014 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2015.
FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 6A	SEE EXPLANATION TO PART V, LINE 3 AND 5.
FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 11	BELOW ARE SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY GEISINGER TO FULFILL COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN GCMC'S 2015 CHNA. SOME PROGRAMS ARE COMPLETELY OPERATED OR FUNDED BY GEISINGER AND SOME ARE OFFERED IN COOPERATION WITH LOCAL HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES. FOR MORE SPECIFIC NEEDS FOUND IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, WE OFFER PROGRAMS TO SERVE PATIENTS CLOSE TO HOME. THE TOP THREE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT AND/OR PAST CHNA SURVEYS FALL INTO ONE OF THREE COMMUNITY NEED CATEGORIES: 1)IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE: THE MOST SIGNIFICANT NEED IDENTIFIED WAS FOR BETTER, FASTER, MORE CONVENIENT AND LESS COSTLY ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. GEISINGER IS TAKING INNOVATIVE STEPS TO ADDRESS BARRIERS TO HEALTHCARE AND HELP PROVIDE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, DENTAL, REHABILITATIVE AND PREVENTIVE SERVICES TO PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE STATUS. THE TOPICS ADDRESSED INCLUDE: HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT DOCTOR, PROVIDER OR FACILITY; SPECIAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WITH SPECIFIC NEEDS (SUCH AS THE ELDERLY, UNDERINSURED OR UNINSURED); TRAUMA PREVENTION AND TREATMENT; AND MANY OTHERS. 2)ADDRESSING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE: GEISINGER HAS A WIDE RANGE OF PROGRAMS TO HELP PATIENTS FIND HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHEN THEY ARE FACING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHALLENGES OR STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION. ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND OTHER AGING BRAIN ISSUES AS WELL AS ALCOHOLISM AND OPIOID ABUSE ARE ADDRESSED IN A LARGE AND GROWING NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT EXPANDING SERVICES. 3)IMPROVING HEALTHY BEHAVIORS: GEISINGER HAS NUMEROUS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO HELP PATIENTS LIVE WELL. EFFORTS INCLUDE COMMUNITY AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS THAT BRING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, EDUCATION, NUTRITION AND MEDICATION TO THE PEOPLE. OUR GOAL IS TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH THEIR HEALTH BEFORE A SERIOUS PROBLEM ARISES SENDING THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE COMPLEX CARE, CLOSER TO HOME: CARE FOR COMPLEX CONDITIONS SUCH AS HEART, LUNG AND KIDNEY DISEASE ARE USUALLY FOUND AT LARGE HEALTH FACILITIES. LONG DRIVES TO A HOSPITAL, LACK OF TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AND OF SPECIALISTS IN THE AREA MAKES ACCESS TO CARE DIFFICULT. OUR SPECIALISTS TRAVEL SO PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH NEEDED, CONVENIENT SPECIALTY CARE, WITHOUT LONG DRIVES OR THE CHALLENGES OF SEEKING CARE ONLY AT A HOSPITAL. INSTEAD OUR SPECIALISTS TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION TO CLINICS THAT PROVIDE ADVANCED CARE, WITH THE BENEFIT OF BETTER TRACKING OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS. CLINICS ARE STAFFED WITH DOCTORS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND DIAGNOSTIC LAB AND IMAGING SERVICES. MANY LOCATIONS ALSO OFFER SPECIALTY PEDIATRIC AND WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICES. OUR SPECIALISTS, INCLUDING CARDIOLOGY, DERMATOLOGY, COMPLEX ORTHOPAEDIC AND THORACIC SURGERY AND NEUROSURGERY ARE AVAILABLE IN MORE THAN 30 COMMUNITIES ACROSS NORTHEAST AND CENTRAL PA. GEISINGER HEALTH PLAN (GHP): COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE FOR THE UNINSURED AND SENIORS: GHP, A NONPROFIT HMO, OFFERS AFFORDABLE HEALTH PLANS THAT SERVES THE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES: UNINSURED ADULTS, CHILDREN AND SENIORS. GHP FAMILY IS A MEDICAL-ASSISTANCE, MANAGED-CARE PLAN THAT OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE TO UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED RESIDENTS OF 22 COUNTIES IN PA. MANY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AT NO COST, INCLUDING DOCTOR'S OFFICE VISITS, EMERGENCY CARE, PREVENTIVE SERVICES (INCLUDING IMMUNIZATIONS AND SCREENINGS), DIABETES CARE, MATERNITY CARE, DENTAL AND VISION SERVICES AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. THERE IS ALSO 24-HOUR ACCESS TO E-NURSES AND HEALTH COACHES. GHP KIDS OFFERS HEALTH COVERAGE TO UNINSURED CHILDREN UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE IN 40 COUNTIES THROUGH PA'S CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP). FOR MOST CHIP IS FREE AND INCLUDES ROUTINE CHECKUPS AND IMMUNIZATIONS, PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, VISION AND DENTAL SERVICES AND EMERGENCY CARE. FOR SENIORS, NAVIGATING THE COMPLEXITIES OF HEALTHCARE COVERAGE CAN BE OVERWHELMING. GHP OFFERS A DUAL ELIGIBILITY PLAN FOR SENIORS WHO QUALIFY FOR MEDICARE PARTS A AND B COVERAGE AS WELL AS MEDICAID. GEISINGER GOLD SECURE RX IS DESIGNED TO MAKE MEDICAL EXPENSES MORE PREDICTABLE, ALLOW BETTER COORDINATION AMONG PROVIDERS AND LOWER OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES FOR SENIORS. THIS PLAN OFFERS CONVENIENT BENEFITS WITH LOW OR NO PREMIUMS, A SINGLE ID CARD, PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE, DENTAL AND VISION SERVICES, FITNESS PROGRAMS AND CARE MANAGEMENT NURSES. PROVENHEALTH NAVIGATOR: IS A TEAM-ORIENTED MEDICAL HOME. A MEDICAL "HOME" IS A PATIENT-CENTERED MODEL OF CARE LED BY THE PATIENT'S PRIMARY DOCTOR AND A TEAM OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE THE PROPER CARE. THE TEAM OF SPECIALISTS, CARE MANAGERS, PHARMACISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSISTANTS WORK WITH THE PATIENT, FAMILY AND CAREGIVERS TO PLAN CARE THAT WILL PREVENT URGENT/EMERGENT CARE VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT PATIENTS UNDER THE MEDICAL HOME MODEL ARE HEALTHIER AND SPEND LESS TIME HOSPITALIZED. MEDICAL HOME CARE FOCUSES ON FREQUENT DOCTOR VISITS AND CONSISTENT FOLLOW-UP BY THE TEAM, WHICH HAS SHOWN TO BENEFIT THOSE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES (DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, ETC.) MEDICAL HOME PATIENTS ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO DOCTORS AND PHN CARE MANAGERS 24/7. CARE MANAGERS HELP PATIENTS NAVIGATE THE COMPLEX HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, COORDINATING CARE AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE TEAM OF PROVIDERS. CARE MANAGERS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSISTANTS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO HELP OUR PATIENTS ADDRESS DIFFICULT CHALLENGES, SUCH AS COPING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, ADDICTION, ABUSE AND LOSS AND MANAGING DISABILITIES. THE TEAM ALSO COORDINATES COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE AND ASSISTS THE PATIENT WITH THEIR NEEDS. BY EXPANDING OUR SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL HOME INITIATIVE, WE'RE ENSURING THAT OUR PATIENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE MOST EFFECTIVE MODELS OF CARE. GEISINGER TELEMEDICINE BRINGS HEALTHCARE CLOSER TO HOME: IN OUR 31-COUNTY SERVICE AREA, NEARLY HALF OF OUR PATIENT POPULATION RESIDES IN RURAL AREAS, AND MORE THAN 60 PERCENT OF PATIENTS HAVE CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS. OUR TELEMEDICINE PROGRAM ALLOWS PATIENTS TO STILL RECEIVE SPECIALIZED CARE LOCALLY. OUR PROGRAM USES HIGH-DEFINITION AUDIO/VIDEO TECHNOLOGY AND TOOLS SUCH AS DIGITAL STETHOSCOPES TO CONNECT REMOTE PATIENTS TO OUR HOSPITALS AND PRIMARY CARE CLINICS, AS WELL AS TO NON-GEISINGER FACILITIES. INPATIENTS ARE DIAGNOSED EARLIER, BEGIN TREATMENT SOONER AND AVOID HOSPITAL TRANSFERS, SINCE THEIR PHYSICIANS CAN CONSULT OUR SPECIALISTS ANYWHERE WITHIN OUR SYSTEM. OUR SPECIALISTS HAVE ACCESS TO PATIENTS AT CLINICS ACROSS THE STATE WITHOUT THE PATIENT TRAVELING TO A HOSPITAL TO SEE THE SPECIALIST. THIS SAVES TIME AND REDUCES TRAVEL COSTS AND ALLOWS THE SUPPORT OF LOVED ONES AT HOME. EARLIER DIAGNOSIS REDUCES COSTS FOR EVERYONE. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS PATIENTS TO CONNECT WITH THE RIGHT SPECIALIST WHEN NEEDED. BY CONNECTING PATIENTS TO OUR SPECIALISTS, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE IS AVAILABLE TO EVERY PATIENT IN OUR COMMUNITIES. SUPPORT FOR SENIORS AT HOME: LIFE GEISINGER (LIVING INDEPENDENTLY FOR ELDERS) HELPS SENIORS STAY AT HOME, STAY INDEPENDENT AND STAY HEALTHY. THE LIFE GEISINGER TEAM IS ON CALL 24/7, PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR SENIORS AND THEIR LOVED ONES. A PROVIDER TEAM ASSESSES PATIENTS' NEEDS, DEVELOPS CARE PLANS AND DELIVERS THE SERVICES SENIORS AND FAMILIES NEED. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES MAKE HOME DELIVERIES OF SUPPLIES AND/OR MEDICATIONS, CARRY SENIORS TO MEDICAL AND OTHER APPOINTMENTS AND DELIVER LIFE PARTICIPANTS TO AND FROM OUR ADULT DAY CENTERS FOR SCHEDULED VISITS. SENIOR DAY CENTERS OFFER SENIORS COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL AND SOCIAL SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO SOCIALIZE AND EXERCISE. OUR ADULT DAY CENTERS ARE OPEN TO ALL SENIORS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY PARTICIPATE IN LIFE GEISINGER. HIGH-QUALITY, NON-EMERGENCY CARE: FOR PATIENTS EXPERIENCING A NON-EMERGENT INJURY OR ILLNESS, GEISINGER CAREWORKS CLINICS OFFER HIGH-QUALITY MEDICAL SERVICES AT CONVENIENT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT PA. THESE URGENT CARE CLINICS PROVIDE ECONOMICAL AND CONVENIENT HEALTHCARE FROM HIGHLY TRAINED CERTIFIED NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS. CAREWORKS ATTENDS TO THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN 12 MONTHS OR OLDER, AND NO APPOINTMENT IS NECESSARY. THE OFFICES COMMUNICATE WITH THE PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN ABOUT THE PATIENT'S VISIT. CAREWORKS KEEPS FAMILIES WELL BY INCREASING ACCESS TO OUR PROVIDERS, PROFESSIONALS AND SERVICES IN CONVENIENT COMMUNITY LOCATIONS. BRIDGING THE COMMUNICATIONS GAP: AT GEISINGER, WE SEE PATIENTS WHO HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF HEARING ABILITY AND LITERACY. THEY SPEAK HUNDREDS OF LANGUAGES. TO GIVE OUR PATIENTS THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE, WE USE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND CONTINUOUS TRAINING. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP PATIENTS CLEARLY UNDERSTAND HOW BEST TO MANAGE THEIR CONDITION. STRATUS IS A VIDEO-INTERPRETING DEVICE USED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE HEARING-IMPAIRED OR WHO HAVE LIMITED ENGLISH SKILLS. THERE ARE NOW OVER 250 STRATUS DEVICES ACROSS THE SYSTEM. AVAILABLE 24 HRS/DAY IN MORE THAN 200 LANGUAGES, INCLUDING AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE, STRATUS IS OPERATED BY TRAINED

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C - OTHER INCOME BASED CRITERIA 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	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT: A SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROVIDED BY GEISINGER-COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (GCMC) AND ITS RELATED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IS AVAILABLE AT GEISINGER.ORG AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST. THE REPORT CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.GEISINGER.ORG/ABOUT-GEISINGER/NEWS-AND-MEDIA/FOR-MEDIA/ANNUAL- REPORTS
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 PAYERS, SELF-PAY, ETC.). A COST TO CHARGE RATIO, 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. 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 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, 2016 AND JUNE 30, 2015. 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: THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND THE COST OF BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON- DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. 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. UNDER THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, HOSPITALS WERE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS RULING 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 A 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 WHEN 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. PART III, 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. GCMC CONSIDERS THE TOTAL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) OF 19,618,283 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. LIKE MEDICAID, MEDICARE DOES NOT PAY THE FULL 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 MANY 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 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. PATIENTS 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 2016, 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 AHA, 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. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED 6/30/2016, GCMC'S COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE FOR SERVICES ACCOUNTED FOR AS BAD DEBT WAS 648,988.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION	GCMC IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICAL NECESSARY SERVICES TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND GCMC'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 CIRCUMSTANCES 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	GCMC IS A 294-BED COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER LOCATED IN SCRANTON, PA CONTRACTED WITH TRIPP UMBACH TO FACILITATE A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED BETWEEN OCTOBER 2014 AND MARCH 2015 THAT IDENTIFIES THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS SERVED BY GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER. AS A PARTNERING HOSPITAL OF A REGIONAL COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO ASSESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS; GCMC COLLABORATED WITH HOSPITALS AND OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SURROUNDING REGION (INCLUDING LACKAWANNA, LUZERNE, AND WAYNE COUNTIES) DURING THE CHNA PROCESS. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE CHNA PROCESS IN SOME WAY: ADVOCACY ALLIANCE, ALLIED SERVICES FOUNDATION, CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES, GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM FAMILY, HEALTHY NORTHEAST PA INITIATIVE, LACKAWANNA COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY, NHS HUMAN SERVICES, NORTHEASTERN PA HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION, NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA INITIATIVE, PA OFFICE OR RURAL HEALTH, PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH-NORTHEAST DIVISION, PANUSKA COLLEGE FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDIES, REHABILITATION COMMUNITY PROVIDER ASSOCIATION, SCRANTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SCRANTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, SENIOR CENTERS, THE EDWARD R.

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	GCMC'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.

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%.

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.

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 "SYSTEM-OR "GEISINGER" SHALL REFER TO THE ENTIRE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM COMPRISED OF GEISINGER HEALTH ("GH") AS PARENT AND ALL SUBSIDIARY ENTITIES COMPRISING THE SYSTEM.
