Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3E THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS ARE A PRIORITIZED DESCRIPTION OF THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH CHNA.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER. The hospital took into account a cross-section of community members through an RDD telephone survey conducted by the UNH Survey Center that was analyzed by age, education, income, etc. The Council for a Healthier Community is a group, established in 1995, that includes community leaders representing local and county government, business, education sector, social service agencies, health care and public health organizations, faith-based groups and non-profit organizations providing childcare, mental health and substance abuse prevention. The hospital worked with the Council for a Healthier Community to determine the priorities from our community health needs assessment. Key people involved include: Tim Murphy (Southwest Regional Planning Commission); Ellen Avery (Community Volunteer Transportation Co.); Chris Coates (Greater Monadnock Public Health Advisory Council); Phil Wyzik (Monadnock Family Services); Phil Suter (Greater Keene Chamber of Commerce); NH State Senator Jay Kahn; George Tremblay (Antioch University); Liz LaRose (Monadnock United Way); and others.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6a Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER. THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER COLLABORATED WITH MONADNOCK COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ALLOWING US TO COMPARE COMMUNITY NEEDS AGAINST A MULTI-HOSPITAL REGION.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6b Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER. THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER COLLABORATED WITH THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES; GREATER MONADNOCK PUBLIC HEALTH NETWORK; THE NEW HAMPSHIRE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION; FOUNDATION FOR HEALTHY COMMUNITIES; ANTIOCH UNIVERSITY NEW ENGLAND; AND SOUTHWESTERN REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION. THESE ORGANIZATIONS HELPED TO DISSEMINATE SURVEYS, SERVE AS KEY INFORMANTS, AND TO PROVIDE OVERALL ANALYSIS, REVIEW, AND FEEDBACK.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER. THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE ORGANIZATION UPON REQUEST AND IS POSTED ON THE CMC WEBSITE.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER. THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER IS INCREASING BOTH COMMUNITY BENEFITS SPENDING AND PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS BASED ON THE MOST RECENT CHNA. THESE NEEDS ARE IN THE AREAS OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE AND ALCOHOL MISUSE, TOBACCO USE, OBESITY, AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. WITH THE ONSET OF COVID-19 IN FEBRUARY-MARCH 2020, MHMH HAS ADDED AND PRIORITIZED COVID-19 DRIVEN COMMUNITY NEEDS TO OUR OTHER CHNA PRIORITIES. THIS HAS INCLUDED PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT FUNDING AND STAFF SUPPORT TO HELP COMMUNITY FOOD SUPPORT PROGRAMS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS, NURSING HOMES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ADAPT TO AND MAINTAIN BASIC SOCIAL SERVICES SAFELY DURING THE PANDEMIC. IN FY 2019, THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENTIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE FY2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANS. AREAS WERE ANALYZED AND THE HOSPITAL RESPONDED BY INCREASING INVESTMENTS, MAINTAINING SIMILAR LEVELS OF INVESTMENTS FOR SERVICES AND INITIATIVES, OR LIMITING INVESTMENT IN AREAS WHERE OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ALREADY PROVIDE LEADERSHIP AND SERVICES TO ADDRESS THE NEED, AND/OR WHERE THE IDENTIFIED NEED IS SIGNIFICANTLY OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION/SERVICES/SCOPE. COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS HAS ALLOWED SERVICES TO EXPAND INTO NEW AREAS AND BRING FORTH ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITY AND REMOVE BARRIERS TO HEALTHCARE. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL'S AFFILIATION WITH DARTHMOUTH-HITCHCOCK HEALTH HAS ALSO PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY-BASED NEEDS. THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS A 3-YEAR DOCUMENT IDENTIFYING ANTICIPATED INVESTMENTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT IT WILL TAKE TO ADDRESS NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA).
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Cheshire Medical Center. PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME EXCEEDS 300% OF THE FPL MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE DISCOUNTED RATES ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS BASED ON THEIR SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS OR MEDICAL INDIGENCE, AT THE DISCRETION OF CMC.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Cheshire Medical Center. CMC HAS A SEPARATE UNINSURED DISCOUNT POLICY THAT OUTLINES HOW THE DISCOUNT IS CALCULATED ANNUALLY AND IS APPLIED PRIOR TO BILLING ANY UNINSURED PATIENT. THIS ASSURES A PATIENT IS NOT BILLED AT AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT GENERALLY BILLED TO PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE. THIS POLICY IS REFERENCED IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 16 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Cheshire Medical Center. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS POSTED ON CMC'S WEBSITE, INCLUDING THE VERBATIM POLICY AND A SHORTER, MORE PATIENT-FRIENDLY PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY. CMC PROVIDES THE PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY BROCHURE TO ALL INPATIENTS, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT INTAKES, UNINSURED, AND SELF-PAY INDIVIDUALS. CMC CONTINUES TO NOTIFY PATIENTS ON THE BACK OF THE BILLING STATEMENT ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE TO THEM. ADDITIONALLY, CMC POSTS INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY IN PUBLIC AREAS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITIES INCLUDING ADMISSION OFFICES, PUBLIC AREA BOARDS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITIES, THE EMERGENCY ROOMS, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY BROCHURES IN PATIENT AREAS. CMC SCREENS 100% OF UNINSURED INPATIENT AND SAME-DAY PATIENTS PRIOR TO ADMISSION. AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, CMC CHECKS ALL STATE AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS TO SEE IF INDIVIDUALS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE. PATIENTS ARE ALSO SCREENED TO DETERMINE QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED AND/OR COMPLETED AT THIS TIME.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology Bad Debt is no longer treated as an expense effective FY20 as a result of new accounting guidance (Statement 15 and ASC 606). As a result, an amount attributable to patients eligible under the organization's financial assistance policy is unable to be reasonably estimated.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER IS INCLUDED IN THE DARTMOUTH-HITCHCOCK HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
