Form and Line Reference	Explanation
FORM 990 SCH H PART V LINE 3J	THE COMPASS NOW 2018 PROCESS USED A VARIETY OF DATA COLLECTION METHODS TO CREATE AN OVERALL DEPICTION OF THE ISSUES FACING OUR COMMUNITIES. THESE METHODS INCLUDED A RANDOM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY, CONVENIENCE SURVEY, COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS, AND AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS, WHICH PROVIDES AN INVENTORY OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THE DATA COLLECTED DURING COMPASS NOW 2018 GUIDE FOUR PILLAR PROFILES. THESE ARE REFERRED TO AS PILLARS BECAUSE THEY CREATE THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR A BETTER LIFE. THE PILLARS OF COMPASS NOW 2018 ARE COMMUNITY, EDUCATION, INCOME/ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH. THE PROFILES DESCRIBE OUR COMMUNITY WITH REGARDS TO THE KEY ISSUES OF EACH AREA. EACH PROFILE PULLS KEY INDICATOR DATA AND COMPASS SURVEY RESULTS INTO A NARRATIVE FORMAT THAT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A CONTEXT TO THE DATA FOUND IN THE INDICATOR REPORT, MAKING THE DATA EASY TO NAVIGATE.
FORM 990 SCH H PART V LINE 5	THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS USED MANY SOURCES OF INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE REGION. THE KEY DATA SOURCE WAS THE RANDOM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY (RHS). THE RANDOM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY WAS MAILED TO A RANDOM SELECTION OF 5,450 HOUSEHOLDS THROUGHOUT THE REGION IN JULY AND AUGUST OF 2016. AFTER REVIEWING THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE RANDOM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY, THE STEERING COMMITTEE DETERMINED WHOSE VOICES WERE MISSING. A PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO CONDUCT A CONVENIENCE SURVEY (CS) TO CAPTURE THE OPINIONS OF THE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO DID NOT RESPOND TO THE RANDOM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY TO ENSURE THAT THEIR VOICE WAS HEARD. STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS COLLECTED RESPONSES TO THE CONVENIENCE SURVEY THROUGH ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE ASKED TO REACH OUT TO AND SHARE THEIR EXPERTISE ABOUT POPULATIONS THAT MAY BE UNDER-REPRESENTED. THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS WERE ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS BY SOLICITING CONVENIENCE SURVEY RESPONSES, HOLDING FOCUS GROUPS, AND/OR ATTENDING STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS. ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THE CONVENIENCE SURVEY PROCESS INCLUDED THOSE REPRESENTING: PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES; AGING POPULATION; LOW-INCOME POPULATION; CHILDREN-YOUTH-FAMILIES; RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES; VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL VIOLENCE, TRAFFICKING; AND, LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY. THE DATA WORKGROUP OVERSAW THE ANALYSIS OF THE DATA AND REVIEWED THE RESULTS UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF DR. LAURIE MILLER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-LA CROSSE. TO ADD TO THE SURVEY DATA, THE DATA WORKGROUP WAS TASKED WITH COLLECTING EXISTING DATA FROM FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL SOURCES. THIS DATA INCLUDED INFORMATION ABOUT DEMOGRAPHICS, HEALTH, SOCIAL FACTORS, ECONOMIC FACTORS, AND MANY OTHER TOPICS. BECAUSE NUMBERS-BASED DATA ONLY TELLS PART OF A STORY, THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS ALSO INCLUDED HOLDING COUNTY-BASED FOCUS GROUPS. FOCUS GROUPS ARE USUALLY SMALL GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHOSE OPINIONS ARE GATHERED THROUGH A GUIDED DISCUSSION. FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD IN ALL SIX COUNTIES AND WITH GENERAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STUDENTS, FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCILS, LATINO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND HMONG COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND DATA WORKGROUP REVIEWED ALL OF THE DATA COLLECTED IN STEP 1 AND ORGANIZED INTO UNDERSTANDABLE PRESENTATIONS THAT WERE PRESENTED AT STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS. TO DETERMINE REGIONAL AND COUNTY-SPECIFIC NEEDS, THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS. EVERY COUNTY HELD AT LEAST ONE COUNTY STAKEHOLDER MEETING, EXCEPT FOR VERNON COUNTY, AND THE DATA WORKGROUP ALSO HOSTED A REGIONAL WEBINAR. THE MEETINGS PRESENTED DATA THAT HAD BEEN GATHERED ABOUT EACH COUNTY AND THE REGION. COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT THE MEETINGS GENERATED IDEAS OF THE TOP NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND VOTED TO PRIORITIZE THE NEEDS BASED ON THE DATA PRESENTED AND THEIR PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE COMMUNITY. RESULTS WERE TABULATED AND THE TOP NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR EACH COUNTY AND THE REGION; THE REGIONAL PRIORITIES WERE DETERMINED BY COMBINING ALL OF THE COUNTY-LEVEL RESULTS AND THE RESULTS OF THE REGIONAL WEBINAR. THE GUNDERSEN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT UTILIZES THE COMPASS NOW COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENT THAT INCLUDES 6 COUNTIES IN OUR SERVICE AREA, REPRESENTING 74% OF OUR HOSPITAL SERVICE PATIENT POPULATION, AND 43% OF THE OVERALL POPULATION OF OUR 22-COUNTY SERVICE REGION. BECAUSE THE GUNDERSEN HEALTH SYSTEM SERVES A BROADER GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAN THE PRIMARY 6 COUNTY AREA INCLUDED IN THE COMPASS NOW 2018 REPORT, AN ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS, THE 22-COUNTY HEALTH INDICATOR ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED TO IDENTIFY UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS AND NEEDS OF ITS COUNTIES SERVED CONSIDERED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THE 22-COUNTY HEALTH INDICATOR REPORT CONCURRED WITH THE COMPASS ASSESSMENT PRIORITIES. HOWEVER, REVIEWING THE BROADER 22-COUNTY REGION ASSESSMENT REVEALED A SIGNIFICANT NEED NOT IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY WITHIN THE COMPASS PROCESS - OBESITY AND DIABETES.

THE GOALS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CONTINUED TO BE ADDRESSED IN 2020 BUT AT A MUCH SLOWER PACE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE UNEXPECTED NEEDS OF THOSE WE SERVE. COMMUNITY PARTNERS WITH LIMITED RESOURCES SHIFTED THEIR FOCUS. EFFORTS FOCUSED ON PATIENT CARE, INTERVENING IN DISEASE AND PREVENTING COMMUNITY SPREAD, AND ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY: GHS 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 BY GHS TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS UNCOLLECTIBLE AND THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY. PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY MAY BE GRANTED TO PATIENTS BASED ON THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR OTHER PROGRAMS OR LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS: 1. PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS WHO HAVE DECLARED BANKRUPTCY. IN CASES INVOLVING BANKRUPTCY, ONLY THE ACCOUNT BALANCE AS OF THE DATE THE BANKRUPTCY IS FILED WILL BE WRITTEN OFF. 2. PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS WHO ARE DECEASED WITH NO ESTATE IN PROBATE. 3. PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS DETERMINED TO BE HOMELESS. 4. ACCOUNTS RETURNED BY THE COLLECTION AGENCY AS UNCOLLECTIBLE DUE TO ANY OF THE ABOVE REASONS. 5. PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS WHO QUALIFY FOR STATE MEDICAID PROGRAMS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE FOR ANY COST-SHARING OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRAM OR UNCOVERED SERVICES. GHS UNDERSTANDS THAT CERTAIN PATIENTS MAY BE NON-RESPONSIVE TO GHS'S APPLICATION PROCESS. UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, GHS MAY UTILIZE OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION TO MAKE AN INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL NEED. THIS INFORMATION WILL ENABLE GHS TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON THE FINANCIAL NEED OF NON-RESPONSIVE PATIENTS UTILIZING THE BEST ESTIMATES AVAILABLE IN THE ABSENCE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED DIRECTLY BY THE PATIENT. GHS MAY UTILIZE A THIRD-PARTY TO CONDUCT AN ELECTRONIC REVIEW OF PATIENT INFORMATION TO ASSESS FINANCIAL NEED. THIS REVIEW UTILIZES A HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED MODEL THAT IS BASED ON PUBLIC RECORD DATABASES. THIS PREDICTIVE MODEL INCORPORATES PUBLIC RECORD DATA TO CALCULATE A SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CAPACITY SCORE THAT INCLUDES ESTIMATES FOR INCOME, ASSETS AND LIQUIDITY. THE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED TO ASSESS EACH PATIENT TO THE SAME STANDARDS AND IS CALIBRATED AGAINST HISTORICAL APPROVALS FOR GHS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE TRADITIONAL APPLICATION PROCESS. THE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, WHEN UTILIZED, WILL BE DEPLOYED PRIOR TO BAD DEBT ASSIGNMENT AFTER ALL OTHER ELIGIBILITY AND PAYMENT SOURCES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. THIS ALLOWS GHS TO SCREEN ALL PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO PURSUING ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS. THE DATA RETURNED FROM THIS ELECTRONIC ELIGIBILITY REVIEW WILL CONSTITUTE ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION OF FINANCIAL NEED UNDER THIS POLICY. WHEN ELECTRONIC ENROLLMENT IS USED AS THE BASIS FOR PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY, THE HIGHEST DISCOUNT LEVELS WILL BE GRANTED FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES FOR RETROSPECTIVE DATES OF SERVICE ONLY. IF A PATIENT DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE ELECTRONIC ENROLLMENT PROCESS, THE PATIENT MAY STILL BE CONSIDERED UNDER THE TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS. GHS WILL PROVIDE PATIENTS NOT QUALIFYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITH A WRITTEN NOTICE INFORMING THEM THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE. THIS NOTICE WILL INCLUDE A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IF AN APPLICATION IS NOT SUBMITTED OR THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE PAID. PATIENT ACCOUNTS GRANTED PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY WILL BE RECLASSIFIED UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.

DECISIONS ARE GUIDED BY ESTABLISHED CRITERIA THAT PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR THE COMMITTEE TO OBJECTIVELY DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF ORGANIZATIONAL REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT. $527,712 SUPPORTS REQUESTS RELATED TO SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, INCLUDING HOUSING/HOMELESSNESS, ACES AND RTIC (ADVERSE CHILD EXPERIENCES AND RESILIENCE-TRAUMA INFORMED CARE), CHRONIC DISEASE, MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND OTHER SUPPORT OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. SOME APPROVED REQUESTS INCLUDING MULTI-YEAR FUNDING.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 COLUMN (F)	THE PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED BY DIVIDING THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COST BY TOTAL HOSPITAL EXPENSES OF $1,087,528,077. THE TOTAL HOSPITAL EXPENSES EXCLUDE THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $43,027,629.
FORM 990 SCH H PART II	THE GUNDERSEN HEALTH SYSTEM, WHICH INCLUDES GUNDERSEN LUTHERAN MEDICAL CENTER, IS COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITIES AS EXPRESSED IN OUR MISSION: WE DISTINGUISH OURSELVES THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND IMPROVED HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED IN COMMUNITY SERVICE REPORTING WHICH ARE PROGRAMS OR SERVICES THAT SUPPORT OUR POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVE, BENEFITING COMMUNITIES BY ADDRESSING IDENTIFIED NEED THROUGH EFFECTIVE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMMING, ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION, CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP AND VOLUNTEERISM. SUPPORT IS PROVIDED THROUGH CONTRIBUTION TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, OR THROUGH PROGRAMMING DELIVERED BY GUNDERSEN. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, THIS TYPE OF PROGRAMMING IS EVALUATED TO IDENTIFY THE IMPACT ON POPULATION HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE. VERIFICATION OF ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS IS DOCUMENTED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. AS A LARGER SYSTEM, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ENCOMPASS ALL CORPORATIONS. LEADERSHIP IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IS EVIDENCED BY OUR ACTIVITY WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY COALITIONS AND INITIATIVES. AS WE CONSIDER OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPASS REPORT, IT IS EVIDENT THAT HEALTH IS IMPACTED BY NOT ONLY THE TRADITIONAL SENSE OF PROVISION OF QUALITY MEDICAL SERVICES, BUT THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE LIVE, THE ECONOMIC CONDITION OF OUR PERSON AND FAMILY AND OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE OFFERED IN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE LIVE.
FORM 990 SCH H PART III LINE 2	COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS OUR STARTING POINT FOR DETERMINING THE COST OF BAD DEBTS. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS CALCULATED FOLLOWING THE METHODOLOGY ON WORKSHEET 2. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS THE PRODUCT OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AND THE NET PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS FROM THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
FORM 990 SCH H PART III LINE 3	THE PATIENTS THAT EXCEED THE 400% FPG, WHEN ADDITIONAL CRITERIA SUCH AS CATASTROPHIC MEDICAL COSTS ARE CONSIDERED, HAPPENS WHEN ELIGIBLE PATIENTS WITH ANNUALIZED FAMILY INCOMES IN EXCESS OF 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, ASSETS OF LESS THAN THE EQUIVALENT OF 600% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS RESULTING FROM MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY GHS IN EXCESS OF 25% OF THE FAMILY INCOME. THE DATA USED IS FROM THE US CENSUS BUREAU, 2013-2017 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (ACS) 5-YEAR DATA SET FOR THE WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA COUNTIES. WE OBTAINED THE AVERAGE OF SEVERAL COUNTIES BY USING THE INFORMATION AT THE 3.00-3.99 (399%) OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL) AND BELOW. THE NEXT RANGE WAS 4.00-4.99 RATIO OF INCOME TO POVERTY IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. WE HAVE MULTIPLIED THE COUNTY AVERAGE AT 399% FPL TO THE BAD DEBT AT COST. WE DEDUCTED THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE AT COST TO OBTAIN THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT AT COST TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER FAP (BUT FOR WHOM INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY).
FORM 990 SCH H PART III LINE 4	THE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS AND PATIENTS IS THE SYSTEM'S PRIMARY SOURCE OF CASH FOR OPERATIONS. THE PRIMARY COLLECTION RISKS RELATE TO UNINSURED PATIENT ACCOUNTS AND PATIENT DEDUCTIBLES AND COINSURANCE ON INSURERS' ACCOUNTS. PATIENT RECEIVABLES, INCLUDING THE PORTION FOR WHICH A THIRD-PARTY PAYOR IS RESPONSIBLE, ARE CARRIED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE, DETERMINED BY THE ORIGINAL CHARGE FOR THE SERVICE PROVIDED LESS AN ESTIMATE MADE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS OR DISCOUNTS PROVIDED TO THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. PATIENT RECEIVABLES DUE DIRECTLY FROM THE PATIENTS ARE CARRIED ON THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS AT THE ORIGINAL CHARGE FOR THE SERVICE PROVIDED LESS AMOUNTS COVERED BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, ALLOWANCES FOR OTHER DISCOUNTS, AND AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT CHARGE INTEREST ON PAST-DUE RECEIVABLES. RECEIVABLES ARE WRITTEN OFF AFTER COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SYSTEM'S POLICIES. RECOVERIES OF RECEIVABLES PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN OFF ARE RECORDED AS A REDUCTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE. 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 ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. THE ANALYSIS IS PERFORMED USING A HINDSIGHT CALCULATION THAT UTILIZES WRITE-OFF DATA FOR ALL PAYOR CLASSES DURING A DETERMINED TIME PERIOD TO CALCULATE THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AT A POINT IN TIME. THE SYSTEM GRANTS CREDIT WITHOUT COLLATERAL TO PATIENTS, MOST OF WHOM ARE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND ARE INSURED UNDER THIRD-PARTY PAYOR AGREEMENTS. AT DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WAS $35,452 AND $15,156 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS), RESPECTIVELY. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AS A PERCENTAGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE WAS 18% AT DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 8% AT DECEMBER 31, 2019. AT DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, AMOUNTS DUE FROM MEDICARE REPRESENTED 11% AND 12% OF THE SYSTEM'S NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL.
FORM 990 SCH H PART III LINE 8	THE MEDICARE COST REPORT IS USED TO DETERMINE ALLOWABLE COSTS. THE UNREIMBURSED MEDICARE COSTS ON PART III, SECTION B OF SCHEDULE H ARE ALLOWABLE COSTS PER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THIS CALCULATION IS LIMITED TO PATIENTS WHO ARE COVERED UNDER THE MEDICARE FEE FOR SERVICE PLAN AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THOSE COVERED BY THE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL TO PATIENTS COVERED UNDER THE MEDICARE FEE FOR SERVICE PLAN. IT EXCLUDES HOSPICE SERVICES, AMBULANCE SERVICES, CLINICAL LABORATORY SERVICES, AND A FEW OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES. INCORPORATING ALL SERVICES TO ALL MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, THE UNREIMBURSED COST FOR MEDICARE IS $54,962,770. THE MEDICARE COSTS ARE CALCULATED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE 990 UNREIMBURSED MEDICARE COSTS OF $26,143,148. MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE OUR MISSION IS TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE DO NOT LIMIT THE CARE AVAILABLE TO ANY PATIENTS, INCLUDING THOSE COVERED BY MEDICARE. WE ARE RELIEVING A GOVERNMENT BURDEN BY PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS EVEN THOUGH COSTS EXCEED REIMBURSEMENTS BY $55 MILLION. TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS ARE EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM.
FORM 990 SCH H PART III LINE 9B	PURSUANT TO SELF-PAY BILLING & COLLECTION POLICY, NO EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS WILL BE PURSUED AGAINST A PATIENT, OR PATIENT GUARANTOR, BEFORE REASONABLE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR IS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE GHS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP). NO ACCOUNT WILL BE SUBJECT TO BAD DEBT COLLECTION ACTIONS, OR ECA, WITHIN 120 DAYS OF THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE STATEMENT BEFORE GHS HAS MADE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS 120 DAY TIMEFRAME MAY BE ABBREVIATED IF A DETERMINATION HAS BEEN MADE ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A PAYMENT PLAN HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND AGREED TO BY THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR, AND THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR IS NO LONGER COMPLYING WITH THE PAYMENT PLAN. NO COLLECTION ACTIONS WILL BE PURSUED AGAINST A PATIENT IF THE PATIENT, OR GUARANTOR, HAS PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THAT HE OR SHE HAS APPLIED FOR COVERAGE UNDER MEDICAID, OR OTHER PUBLICLY SPONSORED HEALTH PROGRAMS, THAT MAY PAY THE OUTSTANDING CLAIM AND FOR WHICH AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION IS STILL PENDING. PRIOR TO SENDING A PATIENT'S ACCOUNT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY GHS WILL MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WILL MAIL A MINIMUM OF THREE (3) WRITTEN STATEMENTS TO THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR. EACH STATEMENT WILL INCLUDE CONSPICUOUS NOTICE OF THE GHS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, TELEPHONE NUMBER TO CALL FOR HELP, AND DIRECT WEBSITE ADDRESS. IF ALL EFFORTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PATIENT, OR PATIENT GUARANTOR, ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, AND A CORRECT ADDRESS FOR UNDELIVERABLE MAIL IS NOT FOUND, ACCOUNTS WILL BE SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY. WITHIN 240 DAYS FROM THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE STATEMENT, IF A PATIENT, OR GUARANTOR, APPLIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE APPLICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED AND COLLECTION ACTIONS WILL CEASE WHILE AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION IS BEING MADE. IF THE APPLICANT IS APPROVED FOR FREE CARE, NO FURTHER ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN TO COLLECT ON THE AMOUNT. IF THE APPLICANT IS DENIED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR IS APPROVED FOR DISCOUNTED CARE, STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE OUTSTANDING OBLIGATION. IF THE ACCOUNT IS NOT RESOLVED OR ARRANGEMENTS TO RESOLVE THE ACCOUNT ARE NOT MADE, ADDITIONAL COLLECTION ACTIONS WILL BE PURSUED. IF AN INDIVIDUAL SUBMITS AN INCOMPLETE APPLICATION DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD, GHS MUST (I) SUSPEND ALL COLLECTION ACTIONS, (II) PROVIDE THE INDIVIDUAL WITH A WRITTEN NOTICE THAT DESCRIBES THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND/OR DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED UNDER THE FAP OR APPLICATION FORM THAT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO COMPLETE THE FAP APPLICATION AND (III) PROVIDE GHS'S CONTACT INFORMATION. THE APPLICATION WILL REMAIN ACTIVE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE LETTER WAS MAILED TO THE APPLICANT REQUESTING THIS INFORMATION. IF THE APPLICANT HAS NOT RESPONDED WITHIN THE 30 DAY TIMEFRAME, THE APPLICATION WILL BE DENIED. APPLICANTS APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE REFUNDED PAYMENTS IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT DETERMINED OWED BY THE PATIENT OR PATIENT'S GUARANTOR ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN GRANTED ASSISTANCE UNDER THE GHS FAP. REFUNDS APPLY TO EXCESS PAYMENTS OF $15.00 OR MORE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS POLICY, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS GENERALLY NOT EXTENDED FOR CO-PAYMENTS OR A BALANCE REMAINING AFTER THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS PAID IF A PATIENT FAILS TO OBTAIN PROPER REFERRALS OR AUTHORIZATIONS, OR IF SUCH ASSISTANCE IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSURER'S CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT THEREFORE SUCH PAYMENTS RECEIVED WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. COLLECTION ACTIONS MAY BE UTILIZED BY GHS WHEN PURSUING PAYMENT FROM PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS (I) WITH BALANCES DUE THAT GO UNPAID FOR MORE THAN 120 DAYS WHO DO NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, (II) PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS NOT IN CONFORMANCE WITH AN AGREED UPON PAYMENT PLAN, OR (III) PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS WHO ARE NO LONGER COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO PAY OFF THE REMAINING BALANCE. AT LEAST 30 DAYS BEFORE INITIATING ONE OR MORE ECAS TO OBTAIN PAYMENT FOR THE CARE PROVIDED, GHS WILL PROVIDE A PATIENT OR PATIENT'S GUARANTOR WITH A WRITTEN NOTICE THAT INDICATES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS, HOW AN INDIVIDUAL CAN APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND WHERE THE FAP CAN BE OBTAINED. SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE WILL IDENTIFY THE ECAS THAT GHS OR OTHER AUTHORIZED PARTY INTENDS TO INITIATE TO OBTAIN PAYMENT FOR THE CARE AND INDICATE THE DEADLINE AFTER WHICH SUCH ECAS MAY BE INITIATED. THE DEADLINE WILL BE NO EARLIER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE THAT THE WRITTEN NOTICE IS PROVIDED TO THE PATIENT OR PATIENT'S GUARANTOR. A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE NOTICE GHS WILL ALSO MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ORALLY NOTIFY THE INDIVIDUAL ABOUT GHS FAP AND HOW THE PATIENT CAN OBTAIN ASSISTANCE WITH THE FAP PROCESS.
FORM 990 SCH H PART VI LINE 2	THE GUNDERSEN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT UTILIZES THE COMPASS NOW COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENT THAT INCLUDES 6 COUNTIES IN OUR SERVICE AREA, REPRESENTING 74% OF OUR HOSPITAL SERVICE PATIENT POPULATION, AND 43% OF THE OVERALL POPULATION OF OUR 22-COUNTY SERVICE REGION. THE COMPASS NOW ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNITED WAY AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS SINCE 1995, WITH UPDATES EVERY THREE YEARS. THE 22-COUNTY HEALTH INDICATOR REPORT CONCURRED WITH THE COMPASS ASSESSMENT PRIORITIES. HOWEVER, REVIEWING THE BROADER 22 COUNTY REGION ASSESSMENT REVEALED A SIGNIFICANT NEED NOT IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY WITHIN THE COMPASS PROCESS - OBESITY AND DIABETES. ACCORDING TO GUNDERSEN POLICY GL-1820, GUNDERSEN HEALTH SYSTEM ENGAGES IN PRACTICES WHICH PROVIDE A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND POPULATION HEALTH PHILOSOPHY TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE WITH PARTNERSHIPS AND INVESTMENT THROUGH EFFECTIVE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMING, CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP, VOLUNTEERISM, AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS. GUNDERSEN HEALTH SYSTEM DEFINES COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES THAT PROVIDE TREATMENT AND/OR PROMOTE HEALTH AND HEALING AS A RESPONSE TO IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS, REGARDLESS OF SOURCE OR AVAILABILITY OF PAYMENT. POPULATION HEALTH REFERS TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF A POPULATION OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS MEASURED BY AGGREGATE HEALTH OUTCOMES (BROADER THAN HEALTH STATUS) OF HEALTH ADJUSTED LIFE EXPECTANCY (QUANTITY AND QUALITY) AS INFULUENCED BY SOCIAL, ECONCOMIC, AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS, PERSONAL HEALTH PRACTICES, INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND COPING SKILLS, HUMAN BIOLOGY, EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT, AND HEALTH SERVICES. POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVES ARE SUBSTANCE ABUSE/MENTAL HEALTH, ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES/RESILIENCE, CHRONIC DISEASE AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INCLUDING HOMELESSNESS. COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES ARE PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES THAT PROVIDE A MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENT IN POPULATION HEALTH. THE ACTIVITIES PROVIDED WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES INCLUDE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, ADVOCACY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, RECOGNITION OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, MENTAL HEALTH, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION AND SAFETY. ACTIVITIES ARE GUIDED BY COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND AS APPROPRIATE, INCLUDED IN OUR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. NEEDS CAN ALSO BE DOCUMENTED FROM OTHER GROUPS.
