Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C:	ELIGIBILITY FOR SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE'S COMMUNITIY CARE (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE) PROGRAM IS CONSIDERED FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED, INELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH PLANS, AND WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE. ABILITY TO PAY IS DETERMINED BY COMPARING FAMILY INCOME TO FEDERAL POVERTY LEVELS, BUT IT ALSO CONSIDERS THE FAMILY'S ASSETS. DETERMINATIONS ARE BASED UPON AN INDIVIDUAL'S FINANCIAL NEED AND DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT GENDER, RACE, SOCIAL STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. INDIVIDUALS MUST RESIDE OR HAVE A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN IN SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE'S SERVICE AREA TO BE ELIGIBLE. PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE A COMMUNITY CARE APPLICATION MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE IF OTHER EVIDENCE IS AVAILABLE THAT MAY INDICATE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. THIS INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM A PATIENT INTERVIEW, CREDIT REPORT, OR OTHER AVAILABLE RECORDS. THIS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS: (1) DECEASED WITH NO ESTATE (2) DISCHARGE OF DEBTOR BY BANKRUPTCY (3) PATIENT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (4) ACCOUNT IS RETURNED BY THE COLLECTION AGENCY AS UNCOLLECTIBLE (5) QUALIFICATION UNDER ANOTHER ORGANIZATION'S SIMILAR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS.
PART I, LINE 7:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED ON FORM 990 IS PRIMARILY BASED ON A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WHICH IS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THIS COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED AGAINST VARIOUS REVENUE AND EXPENSE CATEGORIES TO COMPUTE THE ESTIMATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE UNDER SUGGESTED COSTING METHODS FOR THE FORM 990. THE COSTING METHOD FOR SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES IS BASED ON INTERNAL RECORDS ALLOCATIONS WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO A DIRECT COSTING ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR THESE SERVICES NOTED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES AT SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. INCLUDE THE OPERATION OF SEVERAL HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS THAT OPERATE AT A LOSS FROM OPERATIONS, BUT ARE CONSIDERED VITAL HOSPITAL AND CLINIC SERVICES SUCH AS AUDIOLOGY & SLEEP, DIABETES MANAGEMENT, SURGICAL ASSOCIATES & UROLOGY, AND SEVERAL OTHER DEPARTMENTS. A LARGE PORTION OF THESE SERVICES ARE ACCESSED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH THE HOSPITAL'S EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. IT IS THE GOAL OF SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDLESS OF A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BUILDING EFFORTS PROMOTE THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND ECONOMIC HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. FROM AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE, SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, STAFF CONTRIBUTE HUNDREDS OF HOURS TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ENTITIES) ACTIVITIES AND SUPPORT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY IS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTH-RELATED COALITIONS, PARTICULARLY THE SAUK PRAIRIE WELLNESS MOVEMENT AND THE SAUK COUNTY HEALTH AND WELLNESS COALITION.
PART III, LINE 2:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED ON FORM 990 IS BASED ON A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, WHICH IS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES EXCLUDING THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT, DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED AGAINST THE TOTAL CHARGES THAT ARE WRITTEN OFF DURING THE YEAR TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE BAD DEBTS TO THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL ALSO RECOGNIZES THAT IT ALSO PROVIDES A DISCOUNT TO SELF-PAY OR UNINSURED PATIENTS. THESE AMOUNTS ARE EXCLUDED FROM GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RATIO AS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND APPROVED BY THE IRS FOR USE ON FORM 990. IF CONSIDERED, THESE ADDITIONAL WRITE-OFF AMOUNTS TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS WOULD ALSO INCREASE THE ESTIMATED BAD DEBT EXPENSE AMOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH THESE UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS TO THE HOSPITAL.
PART III, LINE 3:	MANAGEMENT PROVIDES FOR PROBABLE UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS, PRIMARILY UNINSURED PATIENTS AND AMOUNTS PATIENTS ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR, THROUGH A CHARGE TO OPERATIONS AND A CREDIT TO A VALUATION ALLOWANCE BASED ON ITS ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL COLLECTION LIKELIHOOD AND THE CURRENT STATUS OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. BALANCES THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING AFTER THE ORGANIZATION HAS USED REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE WRITTEN OFF THROUGH A CHARGE TO THE VALUATION ALLOWANCE AND A CREDIT TO ACCOUNTS RECEIVEABLE.
PART III, LINE 4:	FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE, SEE THE "ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES" PARAGRAPHS IN NOTE 1 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, LOCATED ON PAGE 8 OF THE ATTACHED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8:	WHETHER THERE IS SHORTFALL OR A SURPLUS ON SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, THESE PATIENTS, WHO ARE TYPICALLY ELDERLY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, ARE AN UNDERSERVED POPULATION WHO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. WITHOUT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS PROVIDING MEDICARE PATIENT SERVICES, THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID (CMS) WOULD BEAR THE BURDEN OF DIRECTLY PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE TOTAL MEDICARE REVENUE SHOWN ON SCHEDULE H IS BASED ON THE IRS FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS AND ONLY INCLUDE THE CHARGES FROM MEDICARE PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES THAT ARE REPORTED ON THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE AMOUNTS LISTED FOR MEDICARE REVENUES DO NOT INCLUDE PHYSICIAN SERVICES FOR THE COVERAGE OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC., PHYSICIAN SERVICES FOR THE INTERNAL MEDICINE (HOSPITALIST) PROGRAM, PHYSICIAN SERVICES PROVIDED TO TWO OF THE FOUR OUTLYING PHYSICIAN CLINICS, CRNA SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS UNDERGOING ANESTHESIA AT THE HOSPITAL, AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF LAB AND PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES WHICH ARE REIMBURSED BY THE MEDICARE PROGRAM UNDER ANOTHER METHODOLOGY. PHYSICIAN COVERAGE OUTPATIENT LAB SERVICES AND OUTPATIENT PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES ARE REIMBURSED PRIMARILY ON A FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSEMENT AT RATES THAT ARE OFTEN BELOW THE COST OF CARING FOR PATIENTS. EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE PATIENTS ARE VITAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY AND AS SUCH THESE COSTS AND SHORTFALLS SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT THAT SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. PROVIDES TO THE COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED ABOVE FOR IRS FORM 990 COMPLIANCE REPORTING IS ALSO BASED ON AN OVERALL AVERAGE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AND DOES NOT CONSIDER MEDICARE NON-ALLOWABLE EXPENSES AS IT IS BASED ON TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSE DIVIDED BY HOSPITAL PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES (IGNORING CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENT ON FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSED ITEMS AND NON-ALLOWABLE MEDICARE EXPENSES AS NOTED ABOVE). THIS RATIO IS THEN MULTIPLIED BY THE TOTAL MEDICARE SERVICES, WHICH ARE REIMBURSED ON A COST REPORTING METHODOLOGY. INCLUDING THE FEE SCHEDULE ITEMS, SUCH AS PHYSICIAN SERVICES, WOULD PRODUCE A LARGER LOSS OR SHORTFALL ON THESE SERVICES TO BE REPORTED ON THE FORM 990 IN ANY GIVEN YEAR.
PART III, LINE 9B:	IT IS THE POLICY OF SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. THAT EACH PATIENT RECEIVES CARE REGARDLESS OF THE ABILITY TO PAY. IF DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS A PATIENT DOES NOT COMPLETE THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK OR RESPOND TO ATTEMPTS BY THE HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE CHARITY SERVICES, THE PATIENT MAY STILL REQUEST CHARITY INFORMATION AND COMPLETE THE INFORMATION AT ANY TIME DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS. THE PATIENT WILL BE REFERRED TO THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY AND CAN QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, AND HAVE ANY COLLECTION ISSUES REVERSED BY THE ORGANIZATION, IF THEY SHOW A NEED FOR CARE BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 2:	THE HOSPITAL ENGAGES IN THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES TO ASSESS THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE 42,000 RESIDENT THROUGHOUT ITS 700 SQUARE MILE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA: ANALYZE HEALTH STATUS INFORMATION, EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA, AND HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA FURNISHED BY THE STATE OF WISCONSIN AND SAUK COUNTY TO IDENTIFY ISSUES AND TRENDS; MEET PERIODICALLY WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND TWO OTHER NEARBY HOSPITALS TO ASSESS HIGH PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS AND COORDINATE ACTION; PARTICIPATE IN AND HELP COORDINATE COUNTY-WIDE INPUT SESSIONS WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT; LEAD AND PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY WELLNESS GROUPS AND INITIATIVES THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA; CONDUCT "COMMUNITY HEALTH NEED" FOCUS GROUPS CONSISTING OF COMMUNITY LEADERS AND RANDOMLY SELECTED RESIDENTS; ANALYZE THE POPULATION-BASED NEED FOR MEDICAL PROVIDERS BY SPECIALTY. THIS INFORMATION IS ASSESSED AND MODIFIED BY MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF; LEADER PARTICIPATION AND LEADERSHIP IN CIVIC AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS; ACTIVELY ENGAGE HOSPITAL BOARD MEMBERS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES AND PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH MONTHLY UPDATES REGARDING COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTIVITIES.
PART VI, LINE 3:	1. AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION, A REGISTRATION SPECIALIST WILL INQUIRE IF THERE IS HEALTH INSURANCE. IF NOT, THEY WILL BE ADVISED OF THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM IF THEY RESIDE WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA. THOSE WHO HAVE A SAUK PRAIRIE BASED PHYSICIAN WILL ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR ELIGIBILITY. COMMUNITY CARE INFORMATION IS ALSO POSTED ON THE HOSPITAL WEBSITE AND BILLS STATE THAT IF THE PATIENT IS HAVING DIFFICULTY PAYING THEY SHOULD CONTACT A HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVE, AS THEY MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR REDUCED FEES. 2. ANY PATIENT REQUESTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM WILL BE REFERRED TO THE PATIENT ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST, WHO WILL EXPLAIN THE PROGRAM AND ITS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. WHEN APPLICABLE, ALL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAID, BADGER CARE, AND CRIME VICTIMS MUST BE EXHAUSTED BEFORE APPLYING FOR COMMUNITY CARE (EXCEPTION: THE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION MAY BE WAIVED BASED ON RELIGIOUS BELIEFS). COMMUNITY CARE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ELECTIVE PROCEDURES. PERSONS RESIDED IN THE SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC.'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION. IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, COMMUNITY CARE MAY BE EXTENDED TO THOSE RESIDING OUTSIDE OF THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. 3. THE INFORMATION IS ALSO POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE UNDER "PREPARING FOR YOUR STAY." IF AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO, DURING, OR AFTER THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED THE PATIENT EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT PAYMENT, THE COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM IS EXPLAINED. INFORMATION IS ALSO PRINTED ON PATIENT STATEMENTS AND DISCUSSED WITH THE PATIENT DURING THE BILLING PROCESS.
PART VI, LINE 4:	THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA ENCOMPASSES A 700 SQUARE MILE REGION IN RURAL SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN, INCLUDING SAUK, SOUTHERN COLUMBIA, NORTHWEST DANE, NORTHERN IOWA AND EASTERN RICHLAND COUNTIES. THE HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN SAUK PRAIRIE (COMMON NAME FOR THE NEIGHBORING MUNICIPALITIES OF SAUK CITY AND PRAIRIE DU SAC) AND THE CLINICS ARE LOCATED IN FOUR TOWNS SURROUNDING SAUK PRAIRIE (MAZOMANIE, SPRING GREEN, PLAIN, AND LODI). NO OTHER HOSPITALS ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, HOWEVER EIGHT INPATIENT HOSPITALS (INCLUDING 5 RURAL AND 3 TERTIARY FACILITIES) ARE LOCATED WITHIN A 30 MILES RADIUS OF SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS INDICATES A 5-YEAR GROWTH RATE OF 2.5% COMPARED TO THE STATE OF WISCONSIN'S RATE OF 1.9%. AGE GROUPS THAT WILL GROW AT A CONSIDERABLY FASTER RATE THAN THE STATE INCLUDE 0-17 YEAR OLDS (1.9%), 25-34 (15.2%), AND 65+ (16.65%). HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING THESE AGE SEGMENTS INCLUDE PRENATAL SCREENING, TEEN PREGNANCY, LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, AND MEDICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH AGING. THE AREA HAS LITTLE RACIAL AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY, ALTHOUGH THE NUMBER OF HISPANIC RESIDENTS HAS INCREASED CONSIDERABLY SINCE 2000. SPECIFIC HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES CONFRONTING THIS POPULATION INCLUDE DIABETES, ACCESS TO CARE, AND LANGUAGE BARRIERS. AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS IS 10% HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. THIS DIFFERENCE IS DUE IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE RELATIVELY STRONG JOB MARKET IN MADISON, WHICH ATTRACTS COMMUTERS FROM THE SERVICE AREA. THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE AREA, HOWEVER, AGRICULTURE AND TOURISM REPRESENT A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF LOW-PAYING JOBS, TYPICALLY WITHOUT HEALTH BENEFITS. A PORTION OF THE HOSPITAL PRIMARY SERVICE AREA IS DESIGNATED AS A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA/POPULATION. THIS AREA IS LOCATED IN THE TOWN OF ARENA (MCD 02575). SAUK COUNTY IS ALSO DESIGNATED AS A HEALTH MANPOWER SHORTAGE AREA FOR PSYCHIATRY.
PART VI, LINE 5:	SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. IS AN INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY HOSPITAL GOVERNED BY AN 11-MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO RESIDE WITHIN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THE BOARD IS ELECTED BY THE 120 MEMBER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. AN INDEPENDENT HOSPITAL IS A CRUCIAL PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S VISION, BECAUSE IT KEEPS CONTROL AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, NOT IN A CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS LOCATED ELSEWHERE. LOCAL CONTROL ALLOWS THE HOSPITAL TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE BEST FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THE SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN ITS COMMUNITIES. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVE MEDICAL STAFF PRACTICE SOLELY AT THE SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. OR ASSOCIATED CLINICS. THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES OUR DESIRE TO "IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND THE ORGANIZATION'S EFFORTS TO ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS. SAUK PRAIRIE HEALTHCARE, INC. PROMOTES COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH A BROAD ARRAY OF APPROACHES. THE FOLLOWING LIST DESCRIBES SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND ENHANCING THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL CARE: TRAINING MEDICAL STUDENTS, NURSING STUDENTS, AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONS; CONTRIBUTE TIME AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DENTAL CLINIC, COLLABORATIVE WITH OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY, TO PROVIDE DENTAL SERVICES TO UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE ACCESS OR THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THESE SERVICES ON A REGULAR BASIS; ORGANIZE AND/OR PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH FAIRS; OFFER CPR/FIRST AID CLASSES; ISSUE EDUCATIONAL NEWS RELEASES; CONDUCT COMMUNITY-BASED CLINICAL SCREENINGS (HEARING AID CHECKS, BLOOD PRESSURE, AND CHOLESTEROL SCREENING); PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THE GOOD NEIGHBOR CLINIC OF SAUK PRAIRIE, INC.
