Form and Line Reference Explanation
MARSHFIELD MEDICAL CENTER PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: WHILE MARSHFIELD MEDICAL CENTER (MMC) STRIVES TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TOGETHER WITH DIVERSE SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PREVENTED THE WOOD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT FROM BEING AN ACTIVE PARTNER THIS YEAR. THE WOOD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAS EXEMPT FROM CONDUCTING A COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT IN ORDER TO FOCUS EFFORTS AND CAPACITY ON ADDRESSING COVID-19. THEREFORE, MMC PARTNERED WITH ASPIRUS INC. TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND A FOCUS GROUP ENGAGING DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS AND INDIVIDUALS ACROSS WOOD COUNTY. COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT SURVEY: PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION BEGAN WITH A COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY IN MARCH 2021. AN ELECTRONIC SURVEY WAS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED TO WOOD COUNTY RESIDENTS. AN ABBREVIATED HARDCOPY VERSION OF THE ELECTRONIC COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY WAS CREATED FOR RESIDENTS WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO INTERNET AND LIMITED HEALTH LITERACY. A TOTAL OF 922 RESPONDENTS QUALIFIED AND COMPLETED THE HEALTH SURVEY. AN ELECTRONIC HEALTH SURVEY WAS DISTRIBUTED TO VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH INCLUDED UNITED WAY, YMCA, WOOD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AGING AND DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER, CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS, COALITIONS AND MORE. HARD COPY SURVEYS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO FOOD PANTRIES, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND AT MASS VACCINATION CLINICS. FOCUS GROUPS: FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS SERVED THE PURPOSE OF DIVING DEEPER INTO HEALTH ISSUES AND WERE METHODS USED TO ENGAGE MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS WHO WERE LESS REPRESENTED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY. ONE FOCUS GROUP WAS CONDUCTED IN APRIL 2019 WITH INDIVIDUALS FROM AN UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATION. THE INDIVIDUALS ALSO REPRESENTED VARIOUS PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUNDS SUCH AS PUBLIC HEALTH, EDUCATION, BUSINESS AND INJURY AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS: NINE KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED WITH PROFESSIONALS AND RESIDENTS OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS REPRESENTATIVE OF THOSE FROM THE AGING POPULATION, POPULATIONS WITH DISABILITIES, COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH, EDUCATION, BUSINESS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE USE RECOVERY.

A PRESS RELEASE TO LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS ALSO ACCOMPANIED THE RELEASE OF THE SURVEY. PRECAUTIONS AROUND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PREVENTED MORE TARGETED, IN-PERSON OUTREACH EFFORTS AND REQUIRED HEAVY RELIANCE ON VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION.

THE LIFE REPORT WAS COMPLETED BY UNITED WAY OF MARATHON COUNTY AND THE LIFE REPORT STEERING COMMITTEE, WHICH INCLUDED MARSHFIELD CLINIC HEALTH SYSTEM REPRESENTATION. THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-RIVER FALLS SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER ASSISTED IN SURVEY DISTRIBUTION AND COLLECTION. BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION METHODS WERE UTILIZED TO CONNECT WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS IN THE COMMUNITY AND TO DEVELOP A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF HEALTH ISSUES FACING MEMBERS OF MARATHON COUNTY COMMUNITIES. MARATHON COUNTY LIFE SURVEY: PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION BEGAN WITH A COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY IN MARCH AND APRIL 2019 (NOTE PRIOR TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC), IN PARTNERSHIP WITH UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- RIVER FALLS SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER (SRC). -A SIX-PAGE SURVEY WAS SENT TO 1,434 HOUSEHOLDS IN MARATHON COUNTY. SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE SURVEYS WERE MAILED TO A RANDOM SAMPLE OF COUNTY RESIDENTS AND 25% TO THE POPULATIONS UNDER AGE 35, HOUSEHOLDS WITH INCOMES UNDER $25,000, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR IN ORDER TO ENSURE REPRESENTATION IN THE SAMPLE FROM THREE POPULATIONS THAT ARE SOMETIMES CHALLENGING TO REACH WITH SURVEYS. -100 SURVEYS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO SELECTED MARATHON COUNTY NON-PROFIT PARTNERS BY UNITED WAY OF MARATHON COUNTY. -AN ON-LINE SURVEY INVITATION WAS EMAILED TO A PANEL OF APPROXIMATELY 2,000 MARATHON COUNTY RESIDENTS THE SRC RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING NUMBER OF RESPONSES FROM THESE THREE SOURCES: 388 PAPER SURVEYS FROM THE MAIL OUT, 37 PAPER SURVEYS FROM NON-PROFIT PARTNERS AND 107 ONLINE SURVEYS. COMMUNITY PANEL DISCUSSION & SUBCOMMITTEES OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS: A PANEL DISCUSSION WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS WAS HELD IN OCTOBER 2019. MARATHON COUNTY RESIDENTS FROM DIVERSE POPULATIONS PARTICIPATED IN THE PANEL DISCUSSION. PARTICIPANTS WERE PRESENTED WITH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA POINTS AND WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE TOP AREAS FROM THE MARATHON COUNTY LIFE SURVEY. SUBCOMMITTEES FROM KEY AREAS WERE FORMED TO REVIEW THE DATA AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK. SUBCOMMITTEES INCLUDED: ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, EDUCATION, BASIC NEEDS, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT, CONNECTED, SAFETY. LIFE STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING: IN OCTOBER 2019, PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE LIFE REPORT, THE LIFE STEERING COMMITTEE GATHERED A FINAL TIME TO CONDUCT A LARGE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS TO REVIEW ALL DATA AND IDENTIFY THE TOP NEEDS/CALLS TO ACTION. FINALLY, THE MARATHON COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE HEALTHY MARATHON COUNTY ALLIANCE MET JOINTLY IN MARCH 2020 TO PRIORITIZE THE TOP CALLS TO ACTION INTO THREE COUNTY HEALTH PRIORITIES.
MARSHFIELD MEDICAL CENTER-RIVER REGION PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION BEGAN WITH A COMMUNITY SURVEY IN FEBRUARY 2022. THE LIFE REPORT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CONTRACTED WITH UW RIVER FALLS SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER TO DEVELOP AND CONDUCT THE SURVEY. BOTH RANDOM AND TARGETED SAMPLING WAS UTILIZED. PAPER SURVEYS WERE MAILED TO 1,137 HOUSEHOLDS IN THE RANDOM SAMPLE. AN ADDITIONAL 1,500 SURVEYS WERE DISTRIBUTED AMONGST KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO HELP REACH THE TARGET SAMPLE OF LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS, RENTERS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. BOTH SAMPLE SETS HAD THE OPTION TO COMPLETE THE PAPER SURVEY OR UTILIZE A LINK TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY ON-LINE. TARGETED SAMPLE PARTICIPANTS ALSO HAD THE OPTION TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY WITH THE HELP OF A TRANSLATOR IF NEEDED. THE CBW-STEVENS POINT RECOGNIZES THAT HEALTH IS DETERMINED BY MORE THAN HEALTH CARE. AS THE LIFE SURVEY IS DESIGNED TO ASSESS THE OVERALL STATE AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY, QUESTIONS INCLUDED BOTH HEALTH AND NON-HEALTH RELATED TOPICS. THE BROAD NATURE OF THE QUESTIONS AND TOPICS COVERED ASSURED THAT, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE MARSHFIELD MEDICAL CENTER-RIVER REGION (MMC-RIVER REGION) CHNA, HEALTH EQUITY DATA WAS ALSO EASILY CAPTURED AND ANALYZED. A TOTAL OF 502 COMPLETED OR NEAR COMPLETED SURVEYS WERE RECEIVED, WELL ABOVE THE NUMBER NEEDED TO REPORT VALIDITY AT THE 95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL (NEEDED = 379, RECEIVED = 502). SURVEY RESPONDENTS REPRESENTED A WIDE RANGE OF RESIDENTS WITH A VARIETY OF INCOME AND EDUCATION LEVELS, AGE AND HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND MATCHED THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE COUNTY, IN MOST CATEGORIES. THERE WERE SLIGHTLY MORE FEMALE RESPONDENTS (61% OF SURVEY RESPONSES VS 50% OF THE POPULATION), MORE SENIOR RESPONDENTS (43% OF SURVEY RESPONSES VS. 21% OF THE POPULATION), AND LESS 18-34-YEAR-OLD RESPONDENTS (16% OF RESPONSES VS. 35% OF THE POPULATION) THAN IN THE COUNTY POPULATION. THESE GROUPS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN FUTURE CONVERSATIONS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE REPRESENTATION. WHILE PEOPLE OF COLOR WERE REPRESENTED IN THE SURVEY AT NEARLY THE RATE EQUAL TO THE POPULATION, DUE TO SMALL CELL SIZES, THESE GROUPS SHOULD HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THEIR VOICE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES.

PART III, LINE 2: BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED AT COST USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 3: NO BAD DEBT IS ESTIMATED TO RELATE TO CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 4: PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED FOR EXPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AND BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AS AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND CONTRACTUAL TERMS AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL IMPLICIT DISCOUNT, IF NECESSARY (I.E., FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND CO-PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND CO-PAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE SYSTEM RECORDS AN IMPLICIT DISCOUNT IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE. THE SYSTEM'S IMPLICIT ALLOWANCE FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS WAS APPROXIMATELY 65% AND 61% OF SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND DECEMBER 31, 2022, RESPECTIVELY.

THE REIMBURSEMENT FROM MEDICARE IS DEDUCTED FROM THE ESTIMATED COST USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE SHORTFALL FROM THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THE SYSTEM TREATS MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE REASONS FOR THIS TREATMENT INCLUDES (1) NON-NEGOTIABLE MEDICARE RATES ARE SOMETIMES NOT ALIGNED WITH THE TRUE COSTS OF TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS; (2) THE SYSTEM IS ALLEVIATING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S BURDEN FOR DIRECTLY PROVIDING MEDICAL SERVICES; AND (3) IRS REV. RUL. 69-545 NOTES THAT IF A HOSPITAL SERVES PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, INCLUDING MEDICARE, THIS ACTION INDICATES THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.

ECAS MAY INCLUDE: REPORTING TO CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES, PURSUING LEGAL JUDGMENTS, FILING LIENS, GARNISHING WAGES, REQUIRING PREPAYMENT FOR NON-EMERGENCY SERVICES.
