FACILITY REPORTING GROUP - A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5:	FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), LVHN DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN THE COUNTIES THAT CONTAIN OUR HOSPITAL CAMPUSES. LVHN IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A CHNA HEALTH PROFILE FOR EACH OF OUR LICENSED FACILITIES TO ADDRESS THE LOCAL CONTEXT OF THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THEREFORE, LVHN HAS PRODUCED SEVEN CHNA HEALTH PROFILES FOR OUR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL (LVH) CAMPUSES: LVH-CARBON (CARBON COUNTY); LVH-DICKSON CITY (LACKAWANNA COUNTY); LVH-HAZLETON (LUZERNE COUNTY); LVH-POCONO (MONROE COUNTY); LVH-CEDAR CREST, LVH-17TH STREET, LVHN-1503 N. CEDAR CREST; LVH-HECKTOWN OAKS, LVH-MUHLENBERG, LVHN-HIGHLAND AVENUE (NORTHAMPTON COUNTY); AND LVH-SCHUYLKILL (SCHUYLKILL COUNTY). WITHIN THE ENTIRE GEOGRAPHIC POPULATION THAT MAKES UP THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, WE PLACE A GREATER EMPHASIS ON INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH DISPARITIES TO A GREATER EXTENT OR WHO ARE AT RISK FOR NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THE CLINICAL CARE PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR A SMALL PORTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S OVERALL HEALTH. THERE ARE MANY OTHER FACTORS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND HOSPITAL WALLS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH BEYOND MEDICAL CARE. THEY INCLUDE:- SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, SUCH AS EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT- PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT FACTORS, SUCH AS HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, AND AIR QUALITY- HEALTH BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS SMOKING, DRINKING, DIET, AND EXERCISETHEREFORE, THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS OTHER HEALTH FACTORS FOLLOWED BY HEALTH OUTCOMES. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF DATA INCLUDED IN THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE IS QUANTITATIVE DATA, OR NUMBERS AND STATISTICS ABOUT THE OVERALL POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE STATISTICS COME FROM A VARIETY OF LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES INCLUDING THE CENSUS, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND THE CENTERS FOR MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SERVICES. MOST OF THESE DATA POINTS ARE COMPILED TOGETHER THROUGH A PLATFORM CALLED SPARKMAP FROM CARES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI EXTENSION, WHICH LVHN USES AS THE STARTING POINT FOR ITS CHNA HEALTH PROFILES, ADDING OTHER KEY STATE AND LOCAL DATA SOURCES TO THE DATA PROVIDED THROUGH THIS HEALTH REPORT.IN ADDITION, NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN INPUT FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THOSE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTISE AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. LVHN CHOSE TO OBTAIN THIS INPUT THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND KEY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS. THIS TYPE OF DATA IS REFERRED TO AS QUALITATIVE DATA. FOR EACH CAMPUS, WE PARTNERED WITH AN EXTERNAL COMMUNITY COLLABORATOR WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION TO CONDUCT THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS ON LVHN'S BEHALF. THIS PROCESS PROVIDED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH AN INDEPENDENT AND OBJECTIVE OPPORTUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVE ON THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS FACING THEIR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE LVHN TO FOCUS ITS ATTENTION.

FACILITY REPORTING GROUP - A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11:	AT THE LVH-POCONO HOSPITAL LOCATION IN EAST STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY, THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR FY2023:PRIORITY AREA: EXPANSION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (MONROE COUNTY) THROUGHOUT THE MONROE COUNTY CHNA PROCESS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY IDENTIFIED MULTIPLE WAYS THAT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THE COMMUNITY AT ALL AGE LEVELS. FOR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL, PARTICIPANTS IDENTIFIED HIGHER RATES OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AMONG STUDENTS. AMONG OLDER ADULTS, THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN SOCIAL ISOLATION AND MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS. FOR ALL SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION, THE PANDEMIC HAS RESULTED IN INCREASED STRESS. ADDITIONALLY, AMONG PARTICIPANTS IN MANY OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS, ALCOHOL USE WAS REPORTED TO BE HIGH AND RISING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THIS INCREASE IS BEING SEEN IN A RANGE OF AGES, RACES, GENDERS, AND SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS IN MONROE COUNTY. IN TERMS OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL SERVICES, PARTICIPANTS IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR MORE HALF-WAY HOUSES, INPATIENT PROGRAMS, AND LONGER-TERM TREATMENT FACILITIES AS WELL AS DETOX AND OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO HELP INDIVIDUALS BEFORE THEY MAY NEED INPATIENT TREATMENT. DATA FROM THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS CORROBORATE THIS CONCERN, SINCE 19.7% OF MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS SELF-REPORT EXCESSIVE DRINKING. IN RESPONSE TO THE CONCERNS OUTLINED ABOVE, LVH-POCONO HAS MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO REACH OUT TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PROVIDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND TO CONNECT WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT BENEFIT FROM CARE AND INFORM THEM ABOUT AVAILABLE SERVICES. WE HAVE FOUND THAT HEALTH FAIRS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS PROVIDE CONVENIENT AND HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE WAYS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO TALK AND LEARN ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND OPTIONS FOR SUPPORT AND CARE. WE HAVE PROVIDED THESE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITIES WITH AN EYE TOWARD ENGAGING A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE AND GROUPS. KEY COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT LVH-POCONO PARTICIPATED IN RELATED TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INCLUDED: - DEVELOPED A VIDEO FOR THE OVERDOSE FATALITY REVIEW- OFFERED SEVERAL COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS ON RECOVERING FROM TRAUMA- PARTICIPATED IN A MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE COALITION- OFFERED A HEALTHY KIDS DAY EVENT WITH THE POCONO YMCA- PROVIDED STOP THE BLEED AND CPR DEMOS AT THE WEST END FAIR STAFF RECEIVED EDUCATION RELATED TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH:- DR. ABBY LECHTER, A FAMILY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN BASED AT LVH-CEDAR CREST, EDUCATED ABOUT A DOZEN PRIMARY CARE INTERNISTS AT LVH-POCONO ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS AND STATE GUIDELINES FOR MAKING NALOXONE AVAILABLE.- NURSES ON MED/SURG UNITS WHO SEE PATIENTS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONCERNS HAVE BEEN TRAINED. EXPANDING SERVICES TO MEET THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY:- A NEW PSYCHIATRIST, DR. ALI, WAS HIRED IN FY23 TO START IN FY24.- LVH-POCONO CONTINUED TO USE LOCUM TENENS FOR PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHOLOGY WHILE RECRUITING PERMANENT STAFF.- LVH-POCONO ESTABLISHED A NEW PROCESS WITH THE COUNTIES TO PROVIDE A WARM HAND-OFF FOR ANYONE WHO IS ADMITTED WITH A SUICIDE THREAT. THE WARM HAND-OFF INCLUDES A REFERRAL FROM THE COUNTY FOR A CASE MANAGER WHO FOLLOWS UP WITH THE PATIENT FOR SIX MONTHS.- OUR NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP (NFP) PROGRAM RECEIVED A THREE-YEAR GRANT OF $899,000 PER YEAR PLUS $86,600 FROM CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES. WE ARE WORKING TO ADDRESS TRAUMA AND TRACK DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES FROM PREGNANCY THROUGH TWO YEARS OF AGE. WE CAN ALSO PROVIDE VERY EARLY REFERRALS TO EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES. THE NFP'S BREASTFEEDING PROGRAM HAS RESULTED IN DRAMATICALLY INCREASED BREASTFEEDING FROM 3 TO 6 MONTHS AND HAS ALSO SEEN INCREASES AT OTHER AGE POINTS.PRIORITY AREA: DIABETES PREVENTION (MONROE COUNTY) A GENERAL LACK OF HEALTHY HABITS AND SPECIFICALLY THE PREVALENCE OF OBESITY WERE IDENTIFIED IN MANY COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS IN MONROE COUNTY. PARTICIPANTS POINTED TO A LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND UNHEALTHY FOOD CHOICES, SUCH AS PROCESSED FOOD AND FAST FOOD, AS REASONS FOR INCREASED OBESITY RATES AND OTHER HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES. THOSE WHO WERE ENGAGING IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REGULARLY FELT THAT IT WAS HELPING THEM TO STAY HEALTHY. FOR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO NEED TO ACCESS FOOD THROUGH FOOD PANTRIES, PARTICIPANTS NOTED THAT THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE THERE ARE OFTEN NOT HEALTHY, WHICH ADDS TO OBESITY LEVELS AND UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLES. MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS SHARED THAT THEY KNEW SOMEONE WHO HAS DIABETES, AND THEY IDENTIFIED FOOD HABITS AND CHOICES AS PART OF THE CAUSE FOR THE HIGH RATES OF DIABETES. THEY POINTED OUT A NEED FOR PREVENTION PROGRAMS TO DECREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING DIABETES. IN MONROE COUNTY, 8.8% OF ADULTS HAVE DIABETES AND 26% OF THE MEDICARE POPULATION HAS DIABETES (ACCORDING TO DATA FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES). TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS' CONCERNS ABOUT DIABETES, WE PILOTED A DIABETES PREVENTION AND HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM IN FY23. THIS PROGRAM AIMS TO REDUCE DIABETES RISK BASED ON BODY MASS INDEX AND PREDIABETES STATUS. TO BE ELIGIBLE, PATIENTS MUST HAVE A BILLABLE DIAGNOSIS IN EACH OF THE THREE AREAS (FITNESS, NUTRITION, AND BEHAVIOR). PROFESSIONALS IN THE PROGRAM INCLUDE A NUTRITIONIST, A PHYSICAL THERAPIST, A BEHAVIORAL THERAPIST, AND MEDICAL OVERSIGHT. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BE THREE MONTHS LONG; HOWEVER, PATIENTS ARE GIVEN FLEXIBILITY IN THE SCHEDULING THE FITNESS, NUTRITION, AND BEHAVIORAL COMPONENTS. THEREFORE, THE PROGRAM CAN TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS. A SHORT VIDEO AND PAPER BROCHURE WERE DEVELOPED WITH FAMILY MEDICINE TO PROMOTE PROVIDER REFERRALS. DURING THE PILOT, PROVIDERS ARE POSTING RESULTS OF VISITS AND BIOMETRICS ON A SHARED DRIVE. EIGHTEEN WOMEN AND TWO MEN ARE ENROLLED. OUTCOMES FOR FY23 INCLUDE: 58% OF PARTICIPANTS IMPROVED BODY MASS INDEX (BMI); 47% IMPROVED ON FASTING GLUCOSE; 32% IMPROVED ON THE HBA1C MEASUREMENT; 32% IMPROVED ON BLOOD PRESSURE; 26% IMPROVED ON LDL; 16% IMPROVED ON HDL; AND 11% IMPROVED ON TRIGLYCERIDES. IN ADDITION TO THE DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM, WE ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETES. OUR NUTRITIONIST MEETS WITH FOUR TO FIVE GESTATIONAL DIABETES PATIENTS PER WEEK. SHE ALSO MEETS WITH EACH PATIENT 1:1 EVERY SIX WEEKS. IN MAY, A ZOOM EVENT WAS PROVIDED TO THE LOCAL NAACP REGARDING HEALTHY EATING.
FACILITY REPORTING GROUP - A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 18E:	COLLECTION ACTIVITIES ARE LIMITED TO HOSPITAL SENDING FOUR STATEMENTS REQUESTING PAYMENT. THE STATEMENTS INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, SOLICITING THE PATIENT PARTICIPATION IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 (CONTINUATION):	IN ADDITION, LVHN OPENED A NEW CAMPUS IN DICKSON CITY IN MAY 2022. THIS IS THE FIRST COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT LVHN HAS CONDUCTED FOR LACKAWANNA COUNTY, AND IT IS A NEW GEOGRAPHIC AREA FOR HEALTH SERVICES FOR THE NETWORK. THEREFORE, THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THE COMMUNITY ARE ALREADY IMPLEMENTING TO ADDRESS THE PRIORITY AREAS IDENTIFIED. THIS DEVELOPMENTAL WORK WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS AS LVH-DICKSON CITY CONTINUES TO WORK TO ADDRESS THE TWO PRIORITY AREAS OUTLINED BELOW.AT THE LVH-DICKSON CITY HOSPITAL LOCATION IN DICKSON CITY, LACKAWANNA COUNTY, THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR FY2023:PRIORITY AREA: FOOD ACCESS, PARTICULARLY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES (LACKAWANNA COUNTY)AT LVH-DICKSON CITY, ONE OF THE NEEDS THAT WAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE DATA AND THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS VOICED CONCERN OVER WAS THE RATE OF OBESITY AMONG RESIDENTS IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY AND THE LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS. IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY, 18% OF THE POPULATION RECEIVE SNAP BENEFITS (I.E., FOOD STAMPS), WHICH IS IN GREATER THAN THE STATE PERCENTAGE (14%). THIS PERCENTAGE HAS DOUBLED OVER TIME FROM 9.7% IN 2007 TO 18% IN 2017. IN ADDITION, 29% OF THE ADULT POPULATION IS OBESE, WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN INCREASING IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY SINCE 2004.COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND INTERVIEWS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTHY HABITS AROUND FOOD AND EXERCISE START DURING CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION AND SUPPORTING HEALTHY HABITS EARLY ON IS NEEDED, GIVEN THE RISE IN CHILDHOOD OBESITY. OBESITY ALSO LEADS TO OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES LATER IN LIFE. PARTICIPANTS SUGGESTED THAT MORE EDUCATION ABOUT HEALTH WOULD BE USEFUL AS WELL AS CONTINUED INVESTMENT IN TRAILS AND PARKS AS THESE ARE IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ASSETS.IN FY2023, PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH A NEW NUTRITIONIST IN THE COMMUNITY AND USING HER SERVICES TO SUPPORT PATIENT NEEDS. LVH-DICKSON CITY ALSO PARTNERED WITH FRIENDS OF THE POOR AND WEINBERG FOUNDATION FOR THANKSGIVING. THEY DISTRIBUTED FOOD WHILE ALSO PROVIDING VACCINES. LVH-DICKSON CITY WILL ALSO BE PARTICIPATING IN THE HUNGER TASK FORCE IN SCRANTON. THE CITY OF SCRANTON IS PARTICIPATING IN THE WHITE HOUSE'S COMMITMENT TO END HUNGER AND BUILD HEALTHY COMMUNITIES. THROUGH THIS ENHANCED HUNGER TASK FORCE, THEY STRIVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS GAPS IN SERVICE DELIVERY AND BETTER EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT HUNGER AND FOOD INSECURITY.FINALLY, LVHN WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THE ANCHOR ECONOMY INITIATIVE THROUGH THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF PHILADELPHIA (FRB), WHICH EXPLORES HOW ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS SUSTAIN JOBS, DRIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND SUPPORT EQUITABLE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN NUMEROUS REGIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS ARE LARGE, PUBLIC-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS HOSPITALS AND COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES, WHICH PROVIDE JOBS AND SERVICES. FURTHERMORE, THEY SUPPORT LOCAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. THE INSTITUTE IN NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA WAS AWARDED ONE OF THE MULTI-PARTNER INITIATIVES.PRIORITY AREA: MENTAL HEALTH PREVENTION AND EDUCATION (LACKAWANNA COUNTY) COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS DISCUSSED THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES IN THE COUNTY, INCLUDING THE NEED FOR MORE MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS, PSYCHIATRISTS, AND SERVICES THAT TARGET MOTHERS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. IN FY2023, LVPG HIRED A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN FOCUSED ON LGBTQ+ NEEDS. THE PHYSICIAN STARTED IN CARBONDALE IN AUGUST 2023. IN ADDITION, LVH-DICKSON CITY IS COLLABORATING WITH THE WRIGHT CENTER TO SUPPORT THEIR PSYCHIATRY FELLOWS AS WELL AS IN A TRAINING THAT LVHN IS HOSTING CALLED INTEGRATED COMMUNITY THERAPY. LVH-DICKSON CITY WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND ITS ABILITY TO SUPPORT THE MENTAL HEALTH RELATED NEEDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 7:	LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - POCONO USES A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IN DETERMINING THE FIGURES REPORTED IN THIS TABLE. TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSES LESS NON-PATIENT ACTIVITIES LESS MEDICAID PROVIDER TAXES EQUALS COSTS RELATED TO PATIENT CARE DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT CHARGES.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 IS $24,433,896.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	LVH-POCONO AND LVH-DICKSON CITY PROVIDE A MYRIAD OF HEALTH SCREENINGS AND COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS ON HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND DISEASE AWARENESS THROUGH THE WELLNESS INSTITUTE AND THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN INITIATIVE. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION FOR PATIENTS IN NEED, PROVIDING FREE SPACE FOR COMMUNITY MEETINGS, TELEVISION AND RADIO HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND COMMUNITY WELLNESS OUTREACH.
PART III, LINE 2:	PATIENT ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE IDENTIFIED. THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO THESE PATIENTS IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE TOTAL CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 3:	THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST IS DETERMINED USING COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. THE RATIONALE FOR INCLUDING THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IS THE HOSPITAL'S EXPERIENCE WITH UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WHEN THE HOSPITAL EVALUATES UNINSURED PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE MOST COMMON FINDING IS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE AND QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT UNINSURED PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS AND HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT, HAVE INCOME THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS, NET OF THE AGB (AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED) DISCOUNT, TO RECORD THE NET SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS TO COLLECT. COINSURANCES AND DEDUCTIBLES WITHIN THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER AGREEMENTS ARE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY SO THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDES THESE AMOUNTS IN THE SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONSIDERS THESE AMOUNTS IN ITS DETERMINATION OF THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE DEBTS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE. FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023, AND 2022, RESPECTIVELY, LVH-P RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $15,514,000 AND $14,914,000 AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICES REVENUES.IN INSTANCES WHERE THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PATIENT HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES AND, AFTER APPROPRIATE COLLECTION EFFORTS, PAYMENT IS NOT MADE, THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS WRITTEN-OFF TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. AMOUNTS RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS 100% COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS UTILIZED TO CALCULATE THE COST REPORTED ON LINE 6. SERVING PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS A COMPONENT OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD THAT TAX EXEMPT HOSPITALS ARE HELD TO. THIS IMPLIES THAT SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
PART III, LINE 9B:	FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF WILL DETERMINE WHETHER PATIENTS MEET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE ELIGIBLILTY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL RECEIVABLES FOLLOW UP AGENCY, AND IF NOT PAID, REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT STATUS IF THE ACCOUNTS REMAIN UNPAID.
PART VI, LINE 2:	AS PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, STARTING IN 2013, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THE CHNA REPORT EXAMINES THE FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BEYOND ITS REGULATORY FUNCTION, THE CHNA IS AN IMPORTANT OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN OUR REGION AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN WHICH INFORMS LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S (LVHN) POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT EFFORTS. LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES A HEALTH PROFILE, A REPORT THAT LOOKS AT ALL THE FACTORS THAT GO INTO MAKING PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR AREA HEALTHY. THIS INCLUDES SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS LIKE EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND AIR QUALITY, INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS LIKE SMOKING OR HEALTHY EATING, AND THE QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH CARE IN THEIR AREA. THIS INTRODUCTION PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE 2022 CHNA HEALTH PROFILE AND LVHN'S CHNA PROCESS. THE 2022 HEALTH PROFILE COMBINES DATA AND INFORMATION FROM LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES ABOUT DISEASE, THE ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL FACTORS, AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS, WITH IDEAS, STORIES, AND EXPERIENCES FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTIES SERVED BY LVHN. THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THE LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WHICH OUTLINES OUR PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HEALTH PROFILE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THE 2022 CHNA HEALTH PROFILES AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE PROVIDED AT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA.THE 2022 LVHN CHNA HEALTH PROFILE IS BROKEN OUT INTO THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: DEMOGRAPHICS, INCOME AND ECONOMICS, EDUCATION, HOUSING AND FAMILIES, OTHER SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, CLINICAL CARE AND PREVENTION, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND SPECIAL TOPICS - COVID-19. TO INCREASE THE READABILITY OF THE REPORT, THE COMMUNITY WILL FIND TWO TYPES OF CALL-OUT BOXES THROUGHOUT THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE SUMMARIZES SOME OF THE DATA PRESENTED ON THAT PAGE, PROVIDING EASY-TO-READ, SUMMARY STATEMENTS OF IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. THE SECOND TYPE PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM THE INTERVIEWS AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY LVHN'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD.VISIT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA TO VIEW THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA AND HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	CONSISTENT WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, IT IS THE POLICY TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE TO ALL INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY APPLIES TO UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO EVALUATE THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR LVHN SERVICES.PATIENTS ARE IDENTIFIED BY LVHN REGISTRATION, BENEFITS AND VERIFICATION, CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AS BEING IN FINANCIAL NEED. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS HELP PATIENTS COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. LVHN FOLLOWS THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO EVALUATE ELIGIBILITY. PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME FALLS BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE WILL HAVE THEIR ENTIRE BALANCE FORGIVEN FOR THEIR QUALIFYING SERVICES AT A PARTICIPATING LVHN PROVIDER. PATIENTS WITH A FAMILY INCOME BELOW 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WILL HAVE A PORTION OF THEIR BALANCE FORGIVEN FOR QUALIFYING SERVICES AT A PARTICIPATING LVHN PROVIDER. PATIENTS ARE EVALUATED FOR NO COST OR REDUCED PREMIUM INSURANCE PLANS. THE LVHN FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WILL OFFER INFORMATION TO PATIENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING IF THEY QUALIFY FOR THESE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY COMMERCIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES.PATIENTS OFTEN EXPRESS FINANCIAL CONCERN OR NEED BY CONTACTING THE LVHN CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES EXPLAIN THE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE; FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT IN APPLYING FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR INSURANCE THROUGH THE FEDERAL HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE. PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WHO WORK WITH PATIENTS TO APPLY FOR PENNSYLVANIA MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE LOCATED ONSITE. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS VISIT PATIENTS IN THEIR INPATIENT ROOMS, IN THE CANCER CENTER, AND IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. IN ADDITION, LVHN ADVERTISES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER, ON OUR PUBLIC WEBSITE AND ON THE STATEMENTS SENT TO OUR PATIENTS.
