Form and Line Reference	Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: REQUIRED DESCRIPTIONS	PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT SCHEDULE H, Part I, line 6a Piedmont Columbus Regional regularly reports to the community its community benefit activities in several ways. Each year, the hospital prepares a systemwide community-benefit report that is widely distributed to the public through emailed versions sent to community stakeholders and community organizations, printed copies made available to community members upon request, and publication on the system's website. The hospital also makes available copies of its IRS Form 990 Schedule H on its website and available to anyone upon request. Additionally, the hospital presents its community benefit work within the health care system's annual report and the health care system's foundation annual report, which is widely distributed to the public through both printed copies made available to community members upon request and through publication on the system's website. Additionally, the report was mailed to hospital and system board members, state and local elected officials and other key stakeholders. The hospital provides information on community benefit programming to local, state and federal lawmakers through our government affairs office. Finally, the hospital issues media alerts on key community benefit programming, such as its community benefit grants program, to the public, and provides an annual impact report demonstrating the outcomes from those grants. PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7(F) THE DENOMINATOR USED FOR THE CALCULATION OF COLUMN (F), PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE, WAS THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) of $422,610,640 LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $43,412,881 FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 24(a). FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, CONSISTENT WITH WORKSHEET 2, WAS USED TO REPORT THE AMOUNTS IN PART I, LINES 7A-7D. FOR AMOUNTS ON LINES 7E-7K, ACTUAL EXPENSES FOR EACH COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITY ARE TRACED AND REPORTED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. BAD DEBT EXPENSE CALCULATION AND FOOTNOTE SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 2-4 The provision for bad debts is based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering business and economic conditions, trends in health care coverage and other collection indicators. Periodically, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for double, accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payer category. The results of the review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for bad debts to establish an appropriate allowance for uncollectible receivables. THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 3, WAS DETERMINED BY TAKING THE AVERAGE ACCEPTANCE RATE FOR ALL CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DENIALS THAT WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION. THAT TOTAL WAS THEN ADJUSTED DOWNWARD FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S USE OF PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY WHEN DETERMINING ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE FROM CONSOLIDATED, AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT SCHEDULE H, Part III, Section B, line 8 The amount reported on Part III, Line 6, was calculated in accordance with Schedule H instructions by utilizing the organization's allowable Medicare cost as reported in the Medicare cost report, which is based on a cost to charge ratio. However, the allowable costs in the Medicare cost report do not reflect the actual cost of providing care to patients since the Medicare cost report excludes many direct patient care costs that are essential to provide quality healthcare for Medicare patients. For example, certain coverage fees to physicians, cost of Medicare C and D, and other similar direct patient care expenses are specifically excluded from allowable cost in the Medicare Cost Report. The organization believes that Piedmont Columbus Regional's Medicare shortfall reported on Part III, Line 7 of Schedule H, should be considered a community benefit as the IRS community benefit standard includes the provision of care to elderly and Medicare patients. IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545 provides, in part, that hospitals serving patients with governmental health insurance, such as Medicare, is an indication the hospital operates to promote health in the community. Additionally, Medicare accounted for 43.99 percent of Piedmont Columbus Regional's patient service revenue. Charity care accounted for another 5.19 percent of Piedmont Columbus Regional's patient service revenue. Piedmont Columbus Regional's policy is to treat Medicare patients, regardless of the extent to which Medicare actually pays for the treatment. For many services, Medicare's reimbursement is less than the cost of the care provided, resulting in shortfalls that are to be absorbed by the hospital in honor of Piedmont Columbus Regional's commitment to treat elderly patients. Many of these patients live on a low, fixed income, and would qualify for financial assistance or other means-tested programs, absent from their enrollment in Medicare. COLLECTION PRACTICES SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9(B) INITIAL SCREENINGS OF ALL INPATIENT, EMERGENCY, AND SURGERY ENCOUNTERS, AS WELL AS MOST OUTPATIENT VISITS, ARE CONDUCTED BY FINANCIAL COUNSELORS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY AVAILABLE INSURANCE OR OTHER COVERAGE FOR EACH PATIENT. COUNSELORS CONTACT PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES DIRECTLY, EITHER IN PERSON OR BY LETTER, TO ASSIST THE FAMILY IN IDENTIFYING ANY PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT/SERVICE MAY QUALIFY (INCLUDING MEDICAID, STATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM ("SCHIP"), PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND CHARITY ASSISTANCE). IF THE FAMILY CANNOT BE TIMELY LOCATED OR IS UNCOOPERATIVE, RELATED ACCOUNTS ARE TRANSFERRED TO AN INTERNAL COLLECTION DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN PAYMENT OR, IF THE PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE, TO SECURE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ORGANIZATION'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURES PROHIBIT ANY COLLECTION EFFORTS FOR THE PORTION OF A PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCE THAT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2: NEEDS ASSESSMENT	As a designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospital, Piedmont Columbus Regional is required by the Internal Revenue System to provide to conduct a triennial community health needs assessment (CHNA), in accordance with regulations put forth by the IRS following the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Through this assessment, we hope to better understand local health challenges, identify health trends in our community, determine gaps in the current health delivery system and craft a plan to address those gaps and the identified health needs. In FY19, Piedmont Columbus Regional conducted its third triennial CHNA. As in the past, hospital conducted a joint CHNA for both its campuses. FY20 was Year One of the hospital's three-year CHNA implementation strategy. The Piedmont Columbus Regional CHNA was led by the Piedmont Healthcare community benefits team, with significant input and direction from Piedmont Columbus leadership, including the hospital's community outreach team. Process The CHNA started first with a definition of our community. We started first with the hospital's home county, due to the impact of our tax-exempt status. We estimate property taxes make up the largest segment of a hospital's tax exemption. Because of this, we want to ensure that we are providing equal benefit to our county. Additionally, we take into consideration patient origin, and especially that of our lower-income patients, such as those who qualify for financial assistance or receive insurance coverage through Medicaid. Our secondary communities are considered the areas in which we have the highest concentration of patients fitting that criteria, including ones from nearby DeKalb County. Once we established our primary and secondary community, we then conducted an analysis of available public health data. This included resources from: US Census, US Health and Human Services' Community Health Status Indicators, US Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, National Center for Education Statistics, Kaiser Family Foundation's State Health Facts, American Heart Association, County Health Rankings and Georgia Online Analytical Statistical Information System (OASIS). All figures are for 2017, unless otherwise noted. Health indicators are estimates provided by County Health Rankings and hospital data were provided by the hospital. An internal survey was also conducted throughout the healthcare system for both clinical and non-clinical employees. Information was gathered on knowledge and understanding of community benefit and current programs, as well as suggestions for how we can better serve our patients and communities. Nearly 900 employees spanning the system responded. Additionally, we conducted a community-based survey in which local stakeholders were asked their thoughts on unmet community health needs and the hospital's role in addressing those needs. These stakeholders included local leaders, nonprofit representatives, elected officials and those with a unique knowledge of the challenges vulnerable populations face. We also evaluated previous community benefit, hospital and community interventions identified in our last CHNA implementation strategies through three lenses: impact, outcomes and sustainability. Interventions and programming considered to have a high score on all three were included in this CHNA and our subsequent strategy. This included our community benefit grants program, our charitable clinic-hospital partnerships and our heart- and stroke-focused community programming. In March 2019, the Piedmont Columbus community outreach team convened a meeting of key stakeholders to discuss health challenges and needs in the local community. Among the 47 stakeholders present were representatives from MercyMed of Columbus charitable clinic, Valley Healthcare System, the Muscogee County School District, the Muscogee County Health Department and Columbus Consolidated Government. The goal of this meeting was to establish community consensus on top unmet health needs the hospital should address. Finally, we conducted direct interviews with 31 state and regional stakeholders and policymakers, with each representing a specific group that tends to be adversely impacted by issues of health equity. These groups included but are not limited to Georgians for a Healthy Future, Georgia Watch, ConsiderHealth, the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, the Georgia Charitable Care Network, the Medical Association of Georgia and Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies. Additionally, we sought and received feedback on our CHNA from public health. Our priorities A key component of the CHNA is to identify the top health priorities we'll address over fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022. These priorities guide our community benefit work. They are, in no order: . Increase access to appropriate and affordable health care for all community members, and especially those who are uninsured and those with low incomes . Decrease deaths from cancer and increase access to cancer programming for those with living the disease . Decrease preventable instances of diabetes and decrease the number of patients with uncontrolled diabetes . Reduce rates of obesity and increase access to healthy foods and recreational activities . Decrease the impact of and deaths from stroke . Reduce opioid and related substance abuse and overdose deaths With each priority, we work to achieve greater health equity by reducing the impact of poverty and other socioeconomic indicators. This means that health equity is built into each priority, and that is demonstrated through our implementation strategies. How we determined our priorities: Several key community health needs emerged during the assessment process. The chosen priorities were recommended by the community benefit department with sign-off from hospital and board leadership. The following criteria were used to establish the priorities: . The number of persons affected; . The seriousness of the issue; . Whether the health need particularly affected persons living in poverty or reflected health disparities; and, . Availability of community and/or hospital resources to address the need. The priorities we chose reflected a collective agreement on what hospital leadership, staff and the community felt was most important and within our ability to positively impact the issue. While the priorities reflect clinical access and certain conditions, all priorities are viewed through the lens of health disparities, with particular attention paid to improving outcomes for those most vulnerable due to income and race. This community health needs assessment was unanimously approved by the Piedmont Columbus Regional Board of Directors on June 06, 2019. The Piedmont Columbus Regional implementation strategy was developed in partnership with hospital leadership and community stakeholders to address the identified priorities in our FY19 CHNA. The implementation strategy was designed to be executed over a three-year period and included specific metrics by which we would be able to evaluate our work and its impact. The implementation strategy was developed by utilizing community feedback from the assessment in partnership with the system community benefits department, Piedmont Columbus Regional leadership and the Piedmont Columbus Regional Board of Directors. As mentioned above, we included proven and successful interventions and programming, investing further in work we felt was successful in addressing unmet health needs. The CHNA implementation strategy was unanimously approved October 03, 2019.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSIST.	Piedmont Columbus Regional understands that not everyone has the ability to pay their hospital bill due to their insurance status or a limited income, and because of this, we offer financial assistance to qualifying patients. Notification about financial assistance available at Piedmont Columbus Regional includes providing a dedicated contact number, which is disseminated by the hospital to patients by various means. These include but are not limited to the publication of notices in patient bills and by posting notices in emergency rooms, in the Conditions of Admission form, at admitting and registration departments, hospital business offices, and patient financial services offices that are located on facility campuses, and at other public places the hospital may elect, including availability at local low-cost clinics primarily treating uninsured populations. Piedmont Columbus Regional also publishes and widely publicizes a plain language summary of this financial assistance care policy on its facility website, which includes a link to full policy. Referral of patients for financial assistance may be made by any staff or medical staff member at the hospital, including physicians, nurses, financial counselors, social workers, case managers, chaplains and religious sponsors. A request for financial assistance may be made by the patient or a family member, close friend, or associate of the patient, subject to applicable privacy laws. Finally, we provide copies of our financial assistance policy to our partner clinics and others who work closely with low-income populations. We offer assistance in understanding the policy, how it relates to their populations and receive feedback in ways our financial assistance programming could be improved. Additionally, Piedmont Healthcare annually publishes a directory of services and programs for low-income community members, and within this resource guide are extensive directions and advice on how to apply for patient financial assistance. Also, in this guide is information on how to apply for certain government assistance programs, resources to help prepare and file tax returns, as well as detailed resources for local sliding scale and free mental, dental and health resources. This guide is widely distributed to the community via hardcopy, is available within our hospitals and is digitally available online. Copies are provided in both English and Spanish.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4: COMMUNITY INFORMATION	Piedmont Columbus Regional Midtown is located in Muscogee County, which we consider to be our primary community. A total of 195,739 people live in the 216.44 square mile report area defined for this assessment according to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2015-19 5-year estimates. The population density for this area, estimated at 904.37 persons per square mile, is greater than the national average population density of 91.93 persons per square mile. Those years, about 43 percent of all Muscogee County residents were white, 46 percent were African American, and other races made up the remaining 1 percent. The median age of people living within the county was 34. A quarter of the population were 18 or younger, 13 percent were over the age of 65 and the rest were ages 18 to 64. Between 2015 and 2019, the average income was $65,942 and median income was $46,408. African Americans had a much lower median household income at $33,958. Sixty-one percent of the population has, at a minimum, attended some college (with 35 percent having obtained an associate degree or higher), and 12 percent did not graduate high school. Seven percent of adults were unemployed in 2020, a figure higher than the national average of 5.4 percent. Thirty-seven percent of households had housing costs that exceeded more than 30 percent of total household income in 2017, indicating a cost burdened household more likely to face overall financial difficulty. Twenty-one percent of the county - about 39,000 people - lived in poverty each year on average between 2015 and 2019. During that same time, 29 percent of children in Muscogee County lived in poverty, a figure that has steadily increased over the last ten years. It is significantly higher than the state average of 22 percent. When broken down by race, 41 percent of African American children and 12 percent of white children lived in poverty. Nearly 78 percent of public school children were eligible for the free or reduced priced lunch program during the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average of 60 percent. Poor children are statistically less likely to graduate high school or attend college and are nearly twice as likely to become poor adults than their non-poor counterparts. In Muscogee County, 12 percent of county residents were uninsured in 2019, and minorities were twice as likely as their white counterparts to be uninsured. Non-elderly adults by far were the most likely to be uninsured, with 17 percent of those age 18 to 64 as having no insurance coverage during that time period. About 2.4 percent of the population had Limited English Proficiency, which references the populations aged 5 and older who speak a language other than English at home and speak English less than "very well." The majority of those households spoke Spanish. In Muscogee County, like with the rest of Georgia, heart disease was the number one cause of both age-adjusted and premature death between 2015 and 2019, and this holds true for all races. Age-adjusted allows communities with different age structures to be compared. Premature death is when death happens before the average age for a given community. There were seven designated health professional shortage areas in the community in 2021: three primary care shortage areas, two mental health shortage areas and two dental health shortage areas. There was one dentist for every 1,720 people in 2019, a figure better than state and national figures. There was one primary care physician for every 980 people, and one mental health provider for every 320 people. Community members have reported an average 3.8 and 4.1 poor physical and mental health days, respectively. Both measures increased since our last CHNA, and poor mental days jumped by about a day, indicating a worsening situation. Twenty-one percent of Muscogee residents reported their health as poor or fair. Violence is an issue in Muscogee County. Homicide was the 2nd leading cause of premature death for all races. The violent crime rate is far above both state and national averages, with 567 violent crimes per every 100,000 residents. Approximately 1,073 people lived with HIV in 2018. HIV is a life-threatening communicable disease that disproportionately affects minority populations and may also indicate the prevalence of unsafe sex practices. The Muscogee rate is slightly higher than the state average and nearly double the national average. Chlamydia rates were much higher than both state averages and nearly double national averages in 2018, with 887.4 infections per every 100,000 people. This is most prevalent among African American populations. Opioid prescriptions have decreased over the last few years. In 2007, there were approximately 108.2 retail opioid prescriptions dispensed per 100 persons, according to the CDC. That number has dropped to 107.5 in 2019, more than double the national average of 46.7 prescriptions per every 100,000 people. We aren't able to tell how many prescriptions are going to a single person, just the overall figure. It's important to note that this number decreased steadily for a number of years and increased sharply in 2019. In 2018, 38 percent of the population had limited access to healthy foods and 26 percent reported having extended periods when they aren't sure how they or their families will eat. There were 223 fast food restaurants in Muscogee County in 2018, and 111,790 people lived in a food desert in 2018, meaning it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food in those particular communities. For every 1,000 teen girls aged 15 to 18 in Muscogee County, 41 birth gave birth to a child on average each year between 2012 and 2018. African American teens were twice as likely to have a baby than their white counterparts. Children born to teens are statistically much more likely to experience adverse health and socioeconomic issues as they grow older.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5: PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	Piedmont Columbus Regional actively promotes the health of its community through clinic-hospital partnerships, our community benefit grants programs, community-based health screenings, educational activities, community building activities, the operation of a 24-hour emergency department available to the entire community, the operation of an emergency room open to all members of the community without regard to ability to pay, a governance board composed of community members, use of surplus revenue for facilities improvement, patient care, and medical training, education, and research, the provision of inpatient hospital care for all persons in the community able to pay, including those covered by Medicare and Medicaid, and an open medical staff with privileges available to all qualifying physicians. It's important to note that COVID-19 did have a significant impact on our proactive community benefit programs, as all in-person events and classes were canceled as of early March 2020. We worked to create programming that was responsive to the pandemic, including our migrating to online platforms for vital community-based programming. Please note that Piedmont Columbus Regional Medical Center - Midtown works in full collaboration with Piedmont Columbus Regional Medical Center - Northside, with all community benefit activities combined and executed by the same community benefit team. Because of this, we report on the same programming for each hospital. In FY20, Piedmont Columbus Regional offered various proactive community benefit programs meant to boost the health of the community it serves, including its mobile unit (MU), which regularly serves low-income communities throughout Muscogee and surrounding areas. The Mobile Unit provides access to healthcare for our indigent population Monday through Friday at various locations throughout the community to identify and treat targeted health risks. During clinical visits, the Mobile Unit team consists of a registered nurse, a family practice resident and a PharmD resident under the medical direction of a staff physician. The clinical team assesses each patient, provides acute medical treatment and calls in prescriptions to local pharmacies as necessary. Referrals are sent to Piedmont Columbus Regional emergency department if medically necessary. The Mobile Unit served 1,512 indigent patients during July 01, 2019, to March 01, 2020, when activities ceased due to COVID. From Valley Rescue and Safe House clinics, we had 254 patient encounters. Of those, seven were referred to the emergency department and 71 were referred to community partners for follow-up. Additionally, in FY20, the hospital provided $57,500 in grants to local nonprofit organizations with programming that aligned with our FY19 CHNA. Through of these programs, in October 2019, Piedmont Columbus Regional partnered with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chattahoochee Valley to host a flu clinic. A total of 76 Flu shots administered to children with an addition of 45 parents/guardians who received flu education from the hospital's chief of pediatrics. In FY20, the hospital maintained its accredited Diabetes Prevention Program, which focuses on at-risk populations as identified in its CHNA. Activities included: ongoing diabetes education includes information on diabetes management, physical activity, medication usage, complication prevention and how to cope with this chronic disease; nutrition education that focuses on food choices and improving blood sugar control; and education to reduce negative impact of diabetes reduce heart disease risk factors and improve weight management. The hospital also regularly offered stroke awareness educational materials and blood pressure screenings at health fairs and community events to achieve and maintain stroke certification, community awareness. Additionally, the hospital has had extensive outreach to the community to provide cancer education and screenings, including prostate and lung cancer screenings. As part of a Piedmont Healthcare systemwide effort, Piedmont Columbus Regional was an active participant in anti-opioid work, which included: active participation on the systemwide task force, tracking opioid prescriptions within the hospital and by providers, utilizing Epic EMR tools to monitor opioid use, offering patients and the community ways to safely dispose of unused medication, and providing ongoing education on opioid prescribing. The advent of COVID-19 precluded local take-back day activities, in which we'd traditionally partner with local law enforcement to host an event in which local residents were encouraged to bring in any unused prescriptions for safe disposal. Piedmont Columbus Regional's Community Outreach department partnered with the Muscogee County School District, Amerigroup, Feed the Valley and University of Georgia Cooperative Extension to host various Farmer's Market throughout the year for at risk populations identified in the CHNA. Fresh fruit and vegetables, interactive food demonstrations along with nutritional education was provided at the events. University of Georgia Cooperative Extension also provided free cooking classes in select low-income housing areas where the attendees were given tips on how to shop for healthy food items on a budget and how to prepare healthy meals with ingredients they may already have in the home. Piedmont Columbus Regional also facilitated education sessions hosted by our dieticians for the annual Muscogee County School District Professional Development Training for the teachers and administrators. One of the topics covered included "How Academics and Food Insecurity Impact Our Children."
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 6: AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM	Piedmont Columbus Regional is a part of Piedmont Healthcare, a regional not-for-profit organization and the parent company of 11 hospitals, the Piedmont Physicians Group, the Piedmont Heart Institute, the Piedmont Clinic and the Piedmont Healthcare Foundation. Piedmont Healthcare's community benefit department coordinates the community benefit activities on behalf of all hospitals throughout the system: the triennial CHNA and subsequent implementation strategy, ensuring the financial assistance policy is communicated to the community, maintaining the community benefit webpage, authoring the community benefit annual report, preparing board materials, developing and executing the community benefit grants program and compiling all community benefit figures. Each hospital and certain departments of Piedmont Healthcare provide key input and execute programming. This includes our revenue department, which oversees and executes the financial assistance policy and program.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 7: STATE FILING OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	Piedmont Columbus Regional is not required to file a community benefit report; however, the hospital is required to file with the Georgia Department of Community Health information on its indigent and charity care, as well as its Medicaid and Medicare shortfalls.
