THESE NEEDS ARE IN THE AREAS OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE AND ALCOHOL MISUSE, TOBACCO USE, OBESITY, AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. IN FY 2023, THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENTIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE FY 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN. COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS HAS ALLOWED SERVICES TO EXPAND INTO NEW AREAS AND BRING FORTH ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITY AND REMOVE BARRIERS TO HEALTHCARE. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL'S AFFILIATION WITH DARTMOUTH HEALTH HAS ALSO PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY-BASED NEEDS. THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IS A 3-YEAR DOCUMENT IDENTIFYING ANTICIPATED INVESTMENTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT IT WILL TAKE TO ADDRESS NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MONADNOCK REGION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services	The amount on line 7g, column c, does not include any costs attributable to a physician clinic.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	The costing methodology used to calculate the amounts reported was a cost-to-charge ratio derived from worksheet 2, ratio of patient care to cost-to-charges for lines 7a and 7b. Lines 7e, 7f, 7g, and 7i are based on actual costs.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities	The Center for Population Health at Cheshire Medical Center is the state-designated coalition building entity for the Monadnock Regional Public Health Network, which brings together organizations and individuals from around the region to promote and provide for the public health in lieu of a local governmental public health department model. Cheshire Medical Center receives some grant dollars through the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services to provide local public health service organization and oversight. However, Cheshire is committed to the health and wellbeing of its region and commits additional community benefit support beyond what the grant is able to financially reimburse, providing additional funding for expert staff support, direct public health programming, and community organizing around public health initiatives. The Regional Public Health Network coalition, known as the Healthy Monadnock Alliance, is driven by a shared set of priority areas identified through community health needs assessment. Currently the priority areas around which coalition members unite concern improving access to healthcare, food access, active living, substance use prevention and supports for youth, emergency preparedness, and behavioral health for community members.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount	AS A RESULT OF NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE (STATEMENT 15 AND ASC 606), BAD DEBT IS NO LONGER AN EXPENSE, BUT IS INCLUDED AS A REDUCTION IN NET PATIENT REVENUE.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology	Bad Debt is no longer treated as an expense due to accounting guidance (Statement 15 and ASC 606). As a result, an amount attributable to patients eligible under the organization's financial assistance policy is unable to be reasonably estimated.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER IS INCLUDED IN THE DARTMOUTH-HITCHCOCK HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AS A RESULT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES (ASC 606), BAD DEBT IS NO LONGER AN EXPENSE, BUT IS INCLUDED AS A REDUCTION IN NET PATIENT REVENUE. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO SEPARATE FOOTNOTE IN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY WAS COMPLETED ACCORDING TO GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. THE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL/MEDICAL CENTER IN CHESHIRE COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE AND IS DESIGNATED BY CMS AS A MEDICARE DEPENDENT HOSPITAL (MDH) DUE TO GREATER THAN HALF OF OUR AVERAGE DAILY CENSUS BEING COMPRISED OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. OUR PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY ALLOWS THE RESIDENTS OF CHESHIRE COUNTY, ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY POPULATION, TO RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL SERVICES CLOSE TO HOME.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER HAS A CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY THAT ADDRESSES THE PROCEDURES FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR REDUCED-COST CARE. THE POLICY PROHIBITS USING EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION PRACTICES OR PLACING AMOUNTS WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES. IF A FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-POLICY-ELIGIBLE PATIENT HAS A BALANCE FOR WHICH THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE AFTER A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT IS APPLIED, THE STANDARD PRACTICES ARE FOLLOWED AS OUTLINED IN THE CREDIT AND COLLECTIONS POLICY.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment	IN ADDITON TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), THE HOSPITAL USES REGULAR FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, TO ASSESS ITS HEALTH NEEDS. THE HEALTH STAFF PARTICPATES IN OR LEADS MULTIPLE COMMUNITY COALITIONS AND PROJECTS COLLABORATING AND CONNECTING WITH A WIDE ARRAY OF COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH, MUNICIPAL, SCHOOL, SERVICE ORGANIZATION, REGIONAL PLANNING AND STATE PUBLIC HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS. WE REGULARLY REVIEW EMERGING NH & VT STATE HEALTH DATA; QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA FROM LOCAL SOURCES (NEWSPAPERS, REGIONAL PLANNING OFFICES, COMMUNITY FORUMS), AND CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY CONCERNS THAT ARE EMERGING, INTENSIFYING, OR ARE THE SOURCE OF LOCAL ATTENTION SINCE THE LAST CHNA WAS CONDUCTED.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance	THE CHESHIRE MEDICAL CENTER IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES. ALL UNINSURED INPATIENTS, SAME DAY SURGERY, OBSERVATION, AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS ARE PRO-ACTIVELY SCREENED USING PAPER AND/OR AN AUTOMATED TOOL TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL QUALIFICATION FOR OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, SPECIFIC OUTPATIENT ACTIVITIES DEEMED TO HAVE A HIGHER RATE OF NEED ARE SCREENED AS PART OF REGULAR PROTOCOL. IF A PATIENT APPEARS TO BE ELIGIBLE, ON-SITE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ASSIST THE PATIENT IN COMPLETING THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK/APPLICATIONS AND PROVIDE INSTRUCTION REGARDING HOW TO COMPLETE THE QUALIFICATION PROCESS. IN SOME CASES A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL ACT ON BEHALF OF THE PATIENT, AT THEIR SIGNED CONSENT, IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION PROCESS (FOR EXAMPLE, IN NEW HAMPSHIRE A PATIENT MUST BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE). IF A PATIENT DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR SPECIFIC PROGRAMS, THEY ARE ALSO CONSIDERED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AS PART OF THEIR SCREENING. FOR OUTPATIENT SERVICES THAT ARE NOT ROUTINELY SCREENED, STAFF INTERACTING WITH PATIENTS ARE INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE EITHER A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION OR CONTACT INFORMATION FOR A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WHEN A PATIENT EXPRESSES THEIR INABILITY TO MAKE PAYMENT. EVERY APPLICATION IS SCREENED FOR COMPLETED INCOME AND ASSET DOCUMENTATION. APPLICATIONS ARE ALSO SCREENED TO ASSURE THERE ARE NO OTHER POTENTIAL OPTIONS OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL PROGRAMS. THE WEBSITE, PATIENT STATEMENTS, AND FINANCIAL BROCHURES ALL INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND HOW TO APPLY.
