IN ADDITION, THE GROUP DEVELOPED A COMMUNITY WIDE CAMPAIGN REGARDING COVID TO HELP EDUCATE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SEEK EMERGENCY CARE IF NEEDED (I.E. STROKE & HEART ATTACK). LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS: RESPECT IS AT THE HEART OF CULTURAL COMPETENCE. PATIENTS WHO FEEL THEIR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS RESPECT THEIR BELIEFS, CUSTOMS, VALUES, LANGUAGE AND TRADITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO COMMUNICATE FREELY AND HONESTLY, WHICH CAN, IN TURN, REDUCE DISPARITIES IN HEALTHCARE AND IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES. SEVERAL EMPLOYEES OF JENNERSVILLE HOSPITAL, PHOENIXVILLE HOSPITAL AND POTTSTOWN HOSPITAL ATTENDED A CULTURAL COMPETENCY TRAINING COURSE TO IMPROVE CULTURAL COMPETENCY SKILL IN THE WORKPLACE. CRISIS PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION STRATEGIES HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING STRESS, PROBLEM SOLVING AND KEEPING A PERSON FROM NEEDING HIGHER LEVELS OF CARE SUCH AS A TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR CRISIS CENTER OR INPATIENT HOSPITALIZATION. SEVERAL EMPLOYEES OF CHESTNUT HILL HOSPITAL PARTICIPATED IN A CRISIS PREVENTION INTERVENTION TRAINING COURSE TO HELP THEIR STAFF AND COMMUNITY PREPARE FOR AND HELP REDUCE CRISIS SITUATIONS.

SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 2 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS 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 SYSTEM RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF 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) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3 IN PRIOR YEARS, THE HOSPITAL UTILIZED A PRODUCT THROUGH THE ADVISORY BOARD TO PROJECT THE PERCENTAGE OF PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE. THE HOSPITAL ENDED THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ADVISORY BOARD, BUT LEVERAGED THE METHODOLOGY USED BY THE ADVISORY BOARD TO ESTIMATE THE CURRENT YEAR AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 THE HOSPITAL USES REPORTS FROM THE MEDICARE PROVIDER STATISTICAL AND REIMBURSEMENT SYSTEM TO CALCULATE THE GROSS PATIENT CHARGES AND GROSS REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENTS. A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO THE GROSS PATIENT CHARGES TO CALCULATE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE. IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE REFLECTED IN PART I, LINE 7, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER IN FY20 THAN IN THE FY19. TOWER HEALTH ATTRIBUTES THIS SHORTFALL TO PROVIDING CHARITY CARE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE CALCULATION.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B PATIENTS ARE INFORMED OF OPTIONS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGHOUT THE REVENUE CYCLE, FROM REGISTRATION THROUGH COLLECTION; THEREFORE, THE HOSPITAL'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURE INCLUDES SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR REFERRING PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
