SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED AND AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR ADDRESSING THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS WAS ADOPTED IN THE 2015 TAX YEAR. THE TOP THREE ISSUES IDENTIFIED WERE: 1) ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE AND MEDICATION; 2) ADULT AND CHILDHOOD OBESITY; AND 3) MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THE MEDICAL CENTERS ROLE IS MUCH MORE THAN BEING A HOSPITAL. IT IS A FULLY ENGAGED COMMUNITY PARTNER STRIVING TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE HEALTH AND SOCIAL ISSUES THAT CHALLENGE THE REGION. MANAGEMENT RECOGNIZES THAT THE COMMMNITYS MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS STEM, IN LARGE PART, FROM SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS THAT AFFECT ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE (HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 FRAMEWORK)INCLUDE: ECONOMIC STABILITY, POVERTY, EMPLOYMENT, FOOD SECURITY, HOUSING STABILITY, EDUCATION, HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, ENROLLMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION, LANGUAGE AND LITERACY, EARLY CHILDHOOD, NEIGHBORHOOD AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT, ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD, QUALITY OF HOUSING, CRIME AND VIOLENCE, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, CIVIC PARTICIPATION, PERCEPTIONS OF DISCRIMINATION/EQUITY, AND INCARCERATION/INSTITUTIONALIZATION. TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ITS AFFILIATED HOSPITAL, THE MEDICAL CENTER INTRODUCED THE COMMUNITY CONNECT PROGRAM FOR POPULATION HEALTH. COMMUNITY CONNECT IS A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) PROCESS IN WHICH NONPROFIT COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS MAY APPLY FOR FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS ONE OR MORE OF THE THREE PRIMARY HEALTH NEEDS AS DETERMINED BY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. COMMUNITY CONNECT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE FY2016FY2019 CHNA ACTION PLAN.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	SEE PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 13 FOR THE LIST OF FACTORS USED IN THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA EXPLAINED IN THE FAP FOR PROVIDING FREE AND DISCOUNT CARE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE WAS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F	THE TOTAL EXPENSE USED AS THE DENOMINATOR IN CALCULATING THE PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE IS THE TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSE FOUND ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 COLUMN (A) NET OF THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS OF $XXXXXXX FOUND ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 24.A COLUMN (A).
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2	THE FOLLOWING EXPLANATION OF THE DETERMINATION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE APPLIES TO ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE), IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYERS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH 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 MEDICAL CENTER RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) 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 STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED OR PROVIDED BY POLICY) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED IN PART III ON LINE 2 IS SHOWN AT COST. THE AMOUNT WAS DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE BY THE COST TO CHARGE PERCENTAGE.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3	IF DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO MAKE A DETERMINATION HAD BEEN PROVIDED, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ADDITIONAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE MEDICAL CENTERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE METHODOLOGY TO FORMULATE THIS ESTIMATE INVOLVED USING U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, 2011-2015 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY 5-YEAR ESTIMATES DATA FOR INCOME TO POVERTY LEVELS AT OR BELOW 200% AND 300%, RESPECTIVELY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEDICAL CENTERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, PATIENTS WHOSE INCOME DOES NOT EXCEED 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES RECEIVE FREE MEDICAL CARE. THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THIS CALCULATION FOR THESE PATIENTS WAS DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION WHOSE INCOME DID NOT EXCEED 200% OF THE PROVERTY LEVEL BY 100%. HOWEVER, PATIENTS WHOSE INCOME WAS BETWEEN 200% AND 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A 50% DISCOUNT. ACCORDINGLY, THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THIS CALCULATION FOR THESE PATIENTS WAS DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION WHOSE INCOME FELL BETWEEN 200% AND 300% BY 50%. THE RESULTING EFFECTIVE CHARITY DISCOUNT PERCENTAGES WERE THEN MULTIPLIED BY THE MEDICAL CENTERS TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE CALCULATED BAD DEBT AT THE 200% AND 300% LEVELS WERE THEN ADDED AND MULTIPLED BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO OBTAIN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE TO BE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE IS ON PAGE 9 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SEE ALSO THE PARAGRAPH IN THE CHARITY CARE FOOTNOTE ON THE TOP OF PAGE 18 THAT REFERENCES THE 2016 AMNESTY PERIOD RELATED TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8	THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE FAILS TO COVER COST. NON-PAYMENT BY MEDICARE RECIPIENTS FOR THEIR DEDUCTIBLE AND COINSURANCE AMOUNTS INCREASES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT. THESE SHORTFALLS DECREASE THE ORGANIZATION'S POOL OF ASSETS AND IT'S ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY ATTRACT HIGHLY-TRAINED STAFF AND INVEST IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. IF SERVICES ARE TO BE MAINTAINED, THEN THE COSTS HAVE TO BE COVERED BY THOSE WHO PAY. THE BURDEN FALLS ON THE COMMUNITY.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B	THE MEDICAL CENTERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS ON COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCORDING TO THIS POLICY, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA ARE BASED ON RESIDENCY, GROSS HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSEHOLD SIZE. RESIDENCY: TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE PERSON APPLYING FOR ASSISTANCE MUST BE A PERMANENT RESIDENT IN THE MEDICAL CENTER SERVICE AREA (PRIMARY, SECONDARY OR TERTIARY). A STUDENT ATTENDING SCHOOL IN THE PRIMARY OR SECONDARY SERVICE AREA AT THE TIME CARE WAS GIVEN, IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE. A STUDENT WHO IS NOT CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENT ON HIS OR HER PARENTS TAX RETURN IS EVALUATED BASED ON THE STUDENTS INCOME. IF THE STUDENT IS CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENT, THE PARENTS OR PARENTS HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS USED TO DETERMINE IF HE OR SHE IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. GROSS INCOME AND HOUSEHOLD SIZE: > FREE CARE IS GRANTED TO ELIGIBLE PATIENTS WITH A HOUSEHOLD INCOME UP TO 200 PERCENT OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. > A 50% DISCOUNT IS GIVEN TO PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS WHOSE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS GREATER THAN 200% BUT LESS THAN 300 PERCENT OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES EMERGENCY CARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND LABOR ACT (EMTALA) REGULATIONS. ALL PATIENTS ARE SEEN AND GIVEN CARE PRIOR TO BEING SCREENED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND/OR PAYMENT ABILITY IN AN EMERGENCY. CARE IS PROVIDED AT AN EQUAL LEVEL FOR ALL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE GIVEN TO PATIENTS, OR THEIR GUARANTORS, WHO MEET THE GUIDELINES FOR WHAT IS REQUIRED IN TERMS OF RESIDENCY AND INCOME LEVELS UNDER THE POLICY. PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS ARE EXPECTED TO COOPERATE BY APPLYING FOR ASSISTANCE OR OTHER PUBLIC PROGRAMS IDENTIFIED AS SOURCES OF HELP TO COVER THE COST OF SERVICES AND CARE. PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS WHO CHOOSE NOT TO COOPERATE MAY BE DENIED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS QUALIFY FOR ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: FULL FREE CARE: THE FULL AMOUNT OF CHARGES, FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES GIVEN AT THE MEDICAL CENTER ARE WAIVED AND COVERED FOR THE PATIENT, OR GUARANTOR, IF THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE MET: 1. THE APPLICANT MEETS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND HAS A YEARLY HOUSEHOLD INCOME THAT DOES NOT EXCEED 200 PERCENT OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, AND 2. ALL OTHER PAYMENT SOURCES HAVE BEEN EXPLORED AND APPLIED FOR INCLUDING PRIVATE COVERAGE, FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND OTHER FORMS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OFFERED BY THIRD PARTIES. FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES PROVIDED AT CLINICS OWNED BY MEDICAL CENTER, ALL AMOUNTS DUE FROM THE PATIENT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CO-PAYS, ARE WAIVED IF THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE MET: 1. THE APPLICANT MEETS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND HAS A YEARLY HOUSEHOLD INCOME THAT DOES NOT EXCEED 100 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, AND 2. ALL OTHER PAYMENT SOURCES HAVE BEEN EXPLORED AND APPLIED FOR INCLUDING PRIVATE COVERAGE, FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND OTHER FORMS OF ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES. DISCOUNTED CARE: FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES RECEIVED AT THE MEDICAL CENTER, A 50 PERCENT DISCOUNT OFF OF GROSS CHARGES WILL APPLY FOR PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS, IF THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE MET: 1. THE APPLICANT MEETS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND HAS A YEARLY HOUSEHOLD INCOME BETWEEN 200 300 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, AND 2. ALL OTHER PAYMENT SOURCES HAVE BEEN EXPLORED AND APPLIED FOR INCLUDING PRIVATE COVERAGE, FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND OTHER FORMS OF ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES. PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY: SOME PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS ARE PRESUMED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON INDIVIDUAL LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR EXAMPLE, THOSE WHO ARE HOMELESS OR HAVE QUALIFIED FOR NEEDS-BASED ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. THIS IS CALLED PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY. THESE PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IF THEY PROVIDE PROOF THAT THEY QUALIFY FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS THAT EXIST TO BENEFIT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES TO PAY FOR SERVICES AND CARE. PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY IS USED TO GIVE A 100 PERCENT DISCOUNT TO PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE BECAUSE THEY MEET THE RESIDENCY AND ONE OF THE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA LISTED IN THE MEDICAL CENTERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. AMOUNTS BILLED TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASIS FOR CALCULATING AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED: FOLLOWING A DETERMINATION OF FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY, AN INDIVIDUAL IS NOT CHARGED MORE THAN THE AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED (AGB) INDIVIDUALS WITH INSURANCE COVERING THE SAME CARE FOR EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. THE AGB IS CALCULATED, OR DETERMINED, USING THE LOOK-BACK METHOD AS FOLLOWS: 1. MOSAIC LIFE CARE REVIEWS ALL PAST CLAIMS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BY MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE AND ALL PRIVATE HEALTH INSURERS PAYING CLAIMS TO MOSAIC LIFE CARE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE BY THE HOSPITAL IN THE PRIOR CALENDAR YEAR. THE TOTAL AMOUNT INCLUDES COPAYMENTS, DEDUCTIBLES AND COINSURANCE. 2. THE AGB PERCENTAGES ARE CALCULATED ANNUALLY BY DIVIDING THE SUM OF CLAIMS ALLOWED BY MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE TOGETHER WITH ALL PRIVATE HEALTH INSURERS TO MOSAIC LIFE CARE BY THE SUM OF THE ASSOCIATED GROSS CHARGES FOR THOSE CLAIMS. 3. THE PERCENTAGES ARE APPLIED BY THE 120TH DAY AFTER THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR MOSAIC LIFE CARE USES TO CALCULATE THE AGB PERCENTAGE(S). COLLECTION ACTIONS TAKEN IN EVENT OF NON-PAYMENT COLLECTION ACTIONS: NO ACCOUNT IS SUBJECT TO COLLECTION ACTIONS WITHIN 180 DAYS OF ISSUING THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE STATEMENT AND WITHOUT FIRST MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. NO EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE PURSUED AGAINST A PATIENT IF THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR HAS PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THAT AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER PUBLICLY SPONSORED HEALTH PROGRAMS, AND THAT AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION IS STILL PENDING. THE 180-DAY TIMEFRAME MAY BE SHORTENED IF A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, OR WHEN A PAYMENT PLAN HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND AGREED TO, BUT THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR IS NO LONGER MAKING THE REQUIRED PAYMENTS. IF A STATEMENT IS SENT TO A PATIENT OR GUARANTOR, AND MAIL IS RETURNED AS UNDELIVERABLE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ATTEMPTS TO FIND A CORRECT ADDRESS. IF THE CORRECT ADDRESS CANNOT BE FOUND, THE MEDICAL CENTER ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR BY TELEPHONE AT THE NUMBER LISTED BY THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR. IF EFFORTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR FAIL, THE ACCOUNT IS SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY. REASONABLE EFFORTS TO INFORM PATIENT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: PRIOR TO SENDING AN ACCOUNT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY, THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR GENERALLY RECEIVES A MINIMUM OF SIX WRITTEN STATEMENTS INCLUDING THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE STATEMENT AND FIVE SUBSEQUENT STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS INCLUDE A TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR INFORMATION ON PAYING PATIENT BALANCES AND A NOTICE ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF AN AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO RESOLVE THE ACCOUNT, A SEVENTH AND FINAL STATEMENT IS SENT TO THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR. THIS STATEMENT ACTS AS A NOTICE TO THE ACCOUNT OWNER OF THE AMOUNT OWED TO THE MEDICAL CENTER AND THAT THE ACCOUNT WILL BE PLACED WITH A THIRDPARTY COLLECTION AGENCY IN 30 DAYS. THIS STATEMENT INCLUDES A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY AND OUTLINES ANY COLLECTION ACTIONS THAT MAY BE TAKEN IF A PLAN IS NOT PUT IN PLACE TO SETTLE THE ACCOUNT. ORAL NOTIFICATION WILL BE ATTEMPTED AT THIS TIME AS WELL TO ENSURE THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR IS AWARE OF MOSAIC LIFE CARES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND THE DEBT THEY OWE. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHEN ACCOUNTS MAY BE PLACED IN COLLECTIONS INCLUDING WHEN: 1. THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR HAS NOT MADE TIMELY PAYMENTS ACCORDING TO THE AGREEDUPON PAYMENT PLAN. 2. THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR HAS RECEIVED A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT, BUT IS NO LONGER WORKING WITH THE MEDICAL CENTER IN GOOD FAITH TO PAY OFF THE REMAINING AMOUNT OWED.
