THERE MAY BE INSTANCES UNDER WHICH A PATIENT'S QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ESTABLISHED WITHOUT COMPLETING THE FORMAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. OTHER INFORMATION MAY BE UTILIZED TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS UNCOLLECTIBLE AND THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY.METHODIST HOSPITAL UTILIZES A PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY ANALYTICS SOLUTION THAT EXAMINES HISTORICAL DATA COMBINED WITH HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIC INFORMATION. IT EVALUATES ACCOUNTS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS: AVAILABLE HOUSEHOLD INCOME, AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD SIZE, CAPACITY TO MAKE PAYMENT, AND OVER-EXTENSION COMPARED TO FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. THIS INFORMATION IS DERIVED FROM SOCIOECONOMIC DATA FROM NUMEROUS SOURCES, INCLUDING CENSUS DATA. USING THIS PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY APPROACH, A SCORE IS ASSIGNED AT THE INDIVIDUAL PATIENT LEVEL. THE SCORE ENABLES THE PATIENT BILLING OFFICE TO MEET INTERNAL PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS WHILE PROVIDING A COMMUNITY BENEFIT THROUGH FORGIVING ACCOUNT BALANCES FOR THOSE IN NEED.THIS APPROACH ENABLES METHODIST HOSPITAL TO EVALUATE ACCOUNTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EQUALLY, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE.WHEN THE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY SOLUTION IS THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY, A FULL FREE CARE DISCOUNT WILL BE GRANTED FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES FOR RETROSPECTIVE DATES OF SERVICE ONLY.

GROUP A-FACILITY 2 -- METHODIST WOMEN'S HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13H:	METHODIST WOMEN'S HOSPITAL UNDERSTANDS THAT NOT ALL PATIENTS ARE ABLE TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION OR COMPLY WITH REQUESTS FOR DOCUMENTATION. THERE MAY BE INSTANCES UNDER WHICH A PATIENT'S QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ESTABLISHED WITHOUT COMPLETING THE FORMAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. OTHER INFORMATION MAY BE UTILIZED TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS UNCOLLECTIBLE AND THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY.METHODIST WOMEN'S HOSPITAL UTILIZES A PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY ANALYTICS SOLUTION THAT EXAMINES HISTORICAL DATA COMBINED WITH HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIC INFORMATION.

AMOUNTS SHOWN AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ARE AT COST LESS ANY REVENUE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY GRANTS. CASH AND IN-KIND DONATIONS THAT SUPPORT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED IN CONTRIBUTIONS.ALL COSTS AND REIMBURSEMENTS RELATED TO COVID-19 WERE SEGREGATED FROM NORMAL OPERATING UNITS WITHIN THE METHODIST HOSPITAL. COMMUNITY BENEFITS ITEMS RELATED TO COVID-19, WHERE APPLICABLE, HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED SEPARATELY AND ANALYZED FOR COST VS. REIMBURSEMENT, WITH ONLY THE NET COST BEING REPORTED ON THIS SCHEDULE H.
PART I, LINE 7G:	A SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE BENEFIT IS CALCULATED FOR DEPARTMENTS AND SERVICES RECOGNIZING THESE AREAS OPERATE AT A NEGATIVE MARGIN. THE CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION PROGRAM, THE METHODIST COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC, THE DIABETES INSTITUTE AND THE GERIATRIC EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS ARE AMONG THE MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES OPERATED AT NEGATIVE MARGINS. THE METHODIST COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC, LOCATED AT 26TH AVENUE AND DOUGLAS STREET IN MIDTOWN OMAHA, IS AN ONGOING JOINT COMMUNITY PROJECT OF METHODIST HOSPITAL AND KOUNTZE MEMORIAL CHURCH THAT HELPS TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OMAHA'S LOW-INCOME POPULATION WITHIN AN ATMOSPHERE OF CARING AND RESPECT. THE CLINIC IS MODERN, SPACIOUS, CLIENT-CONVENIENT AND PROVIDES A SUPPORTIVE SETTING.

THIS PROGRAM, THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN THE OMAHA METRO AREA, WAS INSTITUTED IN 2003. PRIOR TO THAT, EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT WAS FAR TOO SIMILAR TO EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE ELEMENTS OF PRIVACY AND COMFORT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. THROUGH SANE/SART, METHODIST HOSPITAL AND ITS AFFILIATES INCLUDING METHODIST JENNIE EDMUNDSON HOSPITAL IN COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, OFFER COMPASSIONATE EMERGENCY CARE FROM HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED NOT JUST TO MEET THE SURVIVOR'S SPECIAL MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS, BUT TRAINED ALSO IN PROPER METHODS OF RECOGNIZING AND COLLECTING FORENSIC EVIDENCE.

THIS UNIQUE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS BRINGS PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES TO THOSE WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE NO ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE.
