Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 7:	AMERY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER (AMERY) USES THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO METHOD WHEN CALCULATING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART I. LINE 7. THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED USING WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE-COST-TO-CHARGE, FROM THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS
PART III, LINE 2:	AMERY USES THE COST TO CHARGE METHODOLOGY TO DETERMINE AMOUNT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT. AMERY BELIEVES THAT MANY OF THE ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY IF THE GUARANTORS WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PAPERWORK. AMERY IS PROVIDING SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS/FAMILIES IN ITS SERVICE AREA THAT ARE UNABLE/UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES. THIS IS COMPARABLE TO PROVIDING CHARITY CARE WHICH AMERY ALSO INCLUDES AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 4:	SEE THE ORGANIZATION'S FOOTNOTES 1.O AND 1.Q, ON PAGE 25 OF THE ATTACHED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
PART III, LINE 8:	AMERYS MEDICARE COST IS DERIVED BASED ON THE RATIO OF MEDICARE FFS CHARGES TO TOTAL CHARGES MULTIPLIED BY TOTAL EXPENSES (LESS CHARITY CARE & BAD DEBT). NONE OF THE MEDICARE FFS LOSS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7 IS TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7A.
PART III, LINE 9B:	COLLECTIONS PRACTICESAMERY'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS ON COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AMERY WILL NOT REFER ANY ACCOUNT TO A THIRD PARTY DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY UNLESS IT HAS CONFIRMED THAT:- THERE IS REASONABLE BASIS TO BELIEVE THAT THE PATIENT OWES THE DEBT.- ALL KNOWN THIRD-PARTY PAYERS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY BILLED, AND THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINING DEBT.- IF THE PATIENT HAS INDICATED AN INABILITY TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT, THE PATIENT HAS BEEN OFFERED A REASONABLE PAYMENT PLAN. AMERY WILL NOT REFER PATIENTS TO DEBT COLLECTION AGENCIES WHO ARE PERFORMING AS SPECIFIED IN THEIR PAYMENT PLANS.- THE PATIENT HAS BEEN GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT A CHARITY CARE (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE) APPLICATION. IF THE PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION FOR CHARITY CARE, ALL COLLECTION ACTIVITY WILL BE SUSPENDED UNTIL THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN PROCESSED.
PART VI, LINE 2:	IN 2018, A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) COLLABORATION WAS CONDUCTED FOR HEALTHPARTNERS AND SIX OF ITS HOSPITALS, INCLUDING REGIONS HOSPITAL, LAKEVIEW HOSPITAL, HUDSON HOSPITAL & CLINIC, WESTFIELDS HOSPITAL & CLINIC, AMERY HOSPITAL & CLINIC, AND PARK NICOLLET METHODIST HOSPITAL) BY THE IMPROVEGROUP TO DETERMINE THE GREATEST HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. THESE HOSPITALS SERVE SIMILAR COMMUNITIES AND HAVE OVERLAPPING STUDY AREAS. THE SYSTEM'S STUDY AREA IS DEFINED AS DAKOTA, HENNEPIN, RAMSEY, SCOTT, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES IN MINNESOTA AND POLK AND ST. CROIX COUNTIES IN WISCONSIN. AMERY'S SPECIFIC STUDY AREA IS DEFINED AS: BARRON COUNTY POLK COUNTYMETHODOLOGYIN 2018, HEALTHPARTNERS AND AMERY CONTRACTED WITH THE IMPROVE GROUP TO ANALYZE AND REPORT ON THE DATA DESCRIBING THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. HEALTHPARTNERS PROVIDED THE IMPROVE GROUP WITH THE DEFINITION OF THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA, THE INDICATORS TO STUDY FOR THE HEALTH AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA SUMMARIES AND DATA COLLECTED DURING COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. COMMUNITY INPUT WAS COLLECTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HEALTHPARTNERS AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND MULTIPLE SURVEYS. THE IMPROVE GROUP THEN GATHERED SECONDARY DATA FROM PUBLIC SOURCES, ANALYZED COMMUNITY INPUT DATA AND DEVELOPED SUMMARY REPORTS TO GUIDE A PRIORITIZATION PROCESS. PRIORITIZED NEEDSTHE HEALTHPARTNERS CHNA TEAM INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPITAL AND HEALTHPARTNERS LEADERSHIP. ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2018, THE CHNA TEAM MET TO REVIEW THE DATA AND PRIORITIZE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE SYSTEM. HEALTHPARTNERS COLLECTIVELY PRIORITIZED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS USING A PROCESS INFORMED BY THE HANLON METHOD AND OTHER COMMONLY USED PRIORITIZATION METHODS. EACH HOSPITAL SHARED ITS 4 OR 5 PRIORITY TOPIC AREAS AND RATIONALE FOR EACH TOPIC AREA BASED ON: SIZE: NUMBER OF PERSONS AFFECTED, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT VARIANCE FROM BENCHMARK DATA AND TARGETS; SERIOUSNESS: THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE PROBLEM LEADS TO DEATH, DISABILITY AND IMPAIRMENT OF ONE'S QUALITY OF LIFE (MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY); EQUITY: DEGREE TO WHICH SPECIFIC GROUPS ARE AFFECTED BY THE PROBLEM; VALUE: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROBLEM TO THE COMMUNITY; AND CHANGE: WHAT IS THE SAME AND WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR PREVIOUS CHNA? HEALTHPARTNERS HOSPITALS WORKED IN A THOROUGH, FACILITATED LARGE AND SMALL GROUP PROCESS TO REACH CONSENSUS ON TOP PRIORITIES. THE CHNA TEAM CONSIDERED THE CRITERIA DESCRIBED ABOVE AS WELL AS COMMUNITY INPUT DATA IN THESE DISCUSSIONS. THE FIVE PRIORITIES ARE OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE AND ARE PRESENTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. THE FIVE PRIORITY AREAS ARE:ACCESS TO CAREACCESS TO CARE REFERS TO HAVING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE, CONVENIENT AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE. THIS INCLUDES FACTORS SUCH AS PROXIMITY TO CARE, ACCESS TO PROVIDERS, COST, INSURANCE COVERAGE, MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION, CARE COORDINATION WITHIN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY AND RESPONSIVENESS. ACCESS TO HEALTHACCESS TO HEALTH REFERS TO THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY AFFECT PEOPLE'S HEALTH, SUCH AS HOUSING, INCOME, EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND MORE. THESE FACTORS, ALSO REFERRED TO AS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEINGMENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING REFERS TO THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS, MENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL WELL-BEING AND THE ASSOCIATED STIGMA. POOR MENTAL HEALTH IS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR QUALITY OF LIFE, HIGHER RATES OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND A SHORTER LIFESPAN.NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITYNUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REFERS TO EQUITABLE ACCESS TO NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND FOOD AND FEEDING CHOICES. POOR NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY ARE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE AND STROKE, WHICH DISPROPORTIONALLY IMPACT LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. SUBSTANCE ABUSESUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION ARE THE EXCESSIVE USE OF SUBSTANCES INCLUDING ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, OPIOIDS AND OTHER DRUGS IN A MANNER THAT IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. PRIORITIES NOT SELECTED: HEALTHPARTNERS DISCUSSED AND CONSIDERED ADDITIONAL OR ALTERNATIVE PRIORITIES DURING THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, INCLUDING: OLDER ADULT HEALTH/AGING, MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND INJURY AND VIOLENCE. THESE NEEDS WERE NOT SELECTED AS TOP FIVE PRIORITIES IN THE CONSENSUS BUILDING PROCESS; HOWEVER, THE THEMES WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE SELECTED PRIORITY AREAS.
