FACILITY REPORTING GROUP - A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11:	LVH-POCONO (MONROE COUNTY):PRIORITY AREA: EXPANSION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH THROUGHOUT THE MONROE COUNTY 2022 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. AND 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 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. HEALTH FAIRS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS PROVIDE CONVENIENT AND UNIVERSALLY 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. IN FY23, SOME 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 IN FY23, THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION WAS PROVIDED TO STAFF:- 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 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.IN FY24:A NEW PSYCHIATRIST, DR. ALI, BEGAN PROVIDING INPATIENT SERVICES. DR. ALI GAVE A WELL-RECEIVED TALK ON GERIATRIC DEPRESSION TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT THE CANCER CENTER FOR ELDER JUSTICE DAY. LVH-P PARTNERED WITH THE YMCA AND BEGAN TO PLAN PROGRAMMING FOR THE ANTICIPATED EXPANSION OF THE YMCA AND THE ADDITION OF A HEALTHCARE CENTER AND FAMILY MEDICINE TO THAT FACILITY.THE NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP WAS AWARDED A $17K GRANT FROM THE UNITED WAY TO IMPLEMENT AN EVIDENCE-BASED MODEL ON MOVING BEYOND DEPRESSION FOR PRE- AND POSTPARTUM MOTHERS. IT IS A 15-WEEK COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY PROGRAM WHERE A THERAPIST VISITS THE MOTHER IN HER HOME AND THEN TRANSITIONS THE PATIENT TO A NURSE.LVH-P PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY EVENTS WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO MEET PEOPLE AND DISTRIBUTE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LITERATURE AND RESOURCES. EVENTS INCLUDED A SAFETY DAY, ATTENDED BY ABOUT THIRTY PEOPLE, AND A COMMUNITY DAY, ATTENDED BY ABOUT TWENTY PEOPLE. IN FY25:LVHN SPONSORED EVENTS FROM SOUL SHOP, WHICH IS A FAITH-BASED, SUICIDE-PREVENTION INITIATIVE. ON MAY 17, THERE WAS AN 8-HOUR TRAINING HELD IN THE LEHIGHTON/JIM THORPE AREA. THE WORKSHOPS WERE FOR FAITH-BASED LEADERS AND DISCUSSED MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE. IT WAS ADVERTISED TO AND SHARED WITH ALL LVH CAMPUSES AND HELD IN THE POCONO AREA TO SUPPORT THE LVH-MONROE, LVH-SCHUYLKILL, AND LVH-HAZLETON CAMPUSES.A SUICIDE PREVENTION WEBINAR WAS HELD IN MAY 2025 AND COVERED RISKS, WARNING SIGNS, AND TOOLS FOR LAY PEOPLE (BOTH COLLEAGUES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS). NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP HIRED A THERAPIST FOR THE NEW, HOME-BASED MOVING BEYOND DEPRESSION PROGRAM. THE THERAPIST HAS EXPERIENCE IN TRAUMA AND IN COLLABORATING WITH PREGNANT WOMEN. IN FY25, TWENTY PATIENTS ENROLLED, AND SEVEN HAVE COMPLETED THE PROGRAM SO FAR. EARLY RESULTS SHOW THAT DEPRESSION SCORES DECREASED OVER THE COURSE OF THE PROGRAM, AS MEASURED BY THE EDINBURGH POSTNATAL DEPRESSION SCALE. PRIORITY AREA: DIABETES PREVENTION 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 HAVE DIABETES (ACCORDING TO DATA FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES). IN FY23, TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS' CONCERNS ABOUT DIABETES, LVH-MONROE PILOTED A DIABETES PREVENTION AND HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM. 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 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 ENROLLED. OUTCOMES FOR FY23 INCLUDED: 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, LVH-POCONO ALSO PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETES IN FY23. THE ON-SITE NUTRITIONIST MET WITH FOUR TO FIVE GESTATIONAL DIABETES PATIENTS PER WEEK. SHE 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 FY24, THE DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM THAT WAS STARTED IN FY23 CONTINUED, WITH TWENTY-FIVE MORE PEOPLE COMPLETING THE PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY, FUNDING WAS RECEIVED TO SUPPORT DIABETES PROGRAMMING THROUGH THE YMCA. THE FUNDING WILL LAST FOR ONE YEAR. IT WAS PROVIDED BY SANOFI AND ACQUIRED THROUGH THE POCONO FOUNDATION. THIS HELPED WITH PROVIDING ACCESS TO PEOPLE WHOSE INSURANCE WILL ONLY COVER SERVICES FOLLOWING A DIABETES DIAGNOSIS. WHEN MEDICAL RECORDS WERE REVIEWED, THERE WERE 2600 PEOPLE IN THE AREA WITH A BMI > 35. MANY PEOPLE COULD BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM. ALSO, IN FY24, A NEW CLINICIAN SPECIALIZING IN NON-SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS WAS HIRED. FINALLY, IN FY24, LVH-MONROE PROVIDED $15K IN SPONSORSHIP FUNDS TO HELP WITH DOUBLE SNAP IN MONROE COUNTY, WHICH ALLOWS PEOPLE TO DOUBLE THEIR SNAP MONEY WHEN USED AT FARMERS' MARKETS.IN FY25, A COMMUNITY PARAMEDICINE PROGRAM WAS STARTED. THIS PROGRAM SERVES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HIGH UTILIZERS OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. PARAMEDICS EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT DIET, MEDICATIONS, AND DISEASE PROCESS. THERE IS NO COST TO THE PATIENT. THE MAXIMUM CASELOAD IS FIFTEEN. ALSO, IN FY25, THE DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM WAS SUBMITTED TO THE IRB AS RESEARCH PROJECT. FUNDING WAS SECURED TO START THE PROGRAM. IN FY25, LVH-MONROE AGAIN PROVIDED $15K IN SPONSORSHIP FUNDS TO HELP WITH DOUBLE SNAP IN MONROE COUNTY. LVH-DICKSON CITY (LACKAWANNA COUNTY):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 CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PERIOD THROUGH JULY 2025 AS LVH-DICKSON CITY WORKED TO ADDRESS THE TWO PRIORITY AREAS OUTLINED BELOW.PRIORITY AREA: FOOD ACCESS, PARTICULARLY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AT LVH-DICKSON CITY, ONE OF THE NEEDS THAT WAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE DATA AND THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS VOICED CONCERN OVER IS 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 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 STARTED DURING CHILDHOOD. EDUCATION AND SUPPORTING HEALTHY HABITS EARLY ON ARE 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 FY24, LVH-DICKSON CITY'S FIRST SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM WAS HELD AT MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY AND SERVED UP TO TWENTY CHILDREN PER DAY THREE DAYS PER WEEK. MARYWOOD DIETETIC STUDENTS HELPED STAFF THE PROGRAM. IN FY25, LVH-DICKSON CITY BUILT UPON THE SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM THAT WAS FIRST OFFERED IN FY24. IN FY25, THE SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM (JUNE 23-AUGUST 15), RAN FOUR DAYS/WEEK FOR EIGHT WEEKS. IT SERVED CHILDREN FROM AGE THREE THROUGH TEENS. THERE WERE ABOUT SIXTY-FIVE PARTICIPANTS. ROUGHLY 1,500 MEALS WERE SERVED. LVH-DICKSON CITY LEADERSHIP JOINED A WHITE HOUSE HUNGER TASK FORCE THAT FORMED IN FY23 AND CONTINUED THROUGH FY24. THE CITY OF SCRANTON IS PARTICIPATING IN THE WHITE HOUSE'S COMMITMENT TO END HUNGER AND BUILD HEALTHY COMMUNITIES. THIS TASKFORCE WORKED TOWARD COORDINATION OF FOOD SOURCING, DISTRIBUTION, AND STORAGE IN THE LOCAL REGION. THROUGH THIS ENHANCED HUNGER TASK FORCE, THEY STRIVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS GAPS IN SERVICE DELIVERY AND EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT HUNGER AND FOOD INSECURITY. OVER THE SUMMER IN FY24, THE LVPG STEAMTOWN SITE HELD A CANNED FOOD DRIVE TO BENEFIT THE WEINBERG FOOD BANK. LVH-DICKSON CITY ALSO SPONSORED A PANTRY RAID FOOD DRIVE EVENT THAT WAS COORDINATED BY A LOCAL TV STATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAMPUS PARTICIPATED IN A CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY EVENT WHICH INCLUDED FOOD DONATIONS FOR FRIENDS OF THE POOR. IN FY25, THE LVPG STEAMTOWN SITE COLLECTED OVER TEN BOXES OF FOOD AT A FALL FOOD DRIVE. THIS FOOD DRIVE BENEFITED THE NORTHEAST PA FOOD BANK.IN FY23, PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS MET WITH A NEW NUTRITIONIST IN THE COMMUNITY AND USED HER SERVICES TO SUPPORT PATIENT NEEDS. LVH-DICKSON CITY ALSO PARTNERED WITH FRIENDS OF THE POOR AND WEINBERG FOUNDATION FOR THANKSGIVING. FOOD WAS DISTRIBUTED WHILE VACCINES WERE PROVIDED. FINALLY, LVH-DICKSON CITY PARTICIPATED 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 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 FY23, LVPG HIRED A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN FOCUSED ON LGBTQ NEEDS. THE PHYSICIAN STARTED IN CARBONDALE IN AUGUST 2023. IN ADDITION, IN FY23, LVH-DICKSON CITY COLLABORATED WITH THE WRIGHT CENTER TO SUPPORT THEIR PSYCHIATRY FELLOWS AS WELL AS IN A TRAINING THAT LVHN HOSTED CALLED INTEGRATED COMMUNITY THERAPY. IN FY24, A STAFF MEMBER FROM THE WRIGHT CENTER IN SCRANTON PARTICIPATED IN INTEGRATIVE COMMUNITY THERAPY (ICT) TRAINING THROUGH LVHN, WITH THE GOAL OF BECOMING AN ICT TRAINER.

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 $38,835,456.
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, 2025, AND 2024, RESPECTIVELY, LVH-P RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $37,503,000 AND $26,918,000 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 2025 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 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.WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES LVHN SERVES, THE CHNA REPORTS PLACE A GREATER EMPHASIS ON INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH DISPARITIES OR WHO ARE AT RISK FOR NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BECAUSE OF SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH. IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF A COMMUNITY HAS BEEN SHOWN TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR ALL IN THE COMMUNITY. ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE IS ONLY ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF A POPULATION. OTHER FACTORS SUCH AS HEALTH BEHAVIORS, THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, AND SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS ARE MORE POWERFUL PREDICTORS OF HEALTH, ILLNESS, AND HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION OVER TIME. FOR THIS REASON, THE SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH ARE A FOCUS IN THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT, AND LVHN HAS ADOPTED THE WELL-BEING PORTFOLIO AS THE FRAMEWORK FOR OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY. THIS HOLISTIC FRAMEWORK INCORPORATES BOTH SERVICES THAT ADDRESS URGENT NEEDS (SUCH AS ACUTE CARE FOR ILLNESS OR INJURY AND ASSISTANCE WITH MEETING BASIC NEEDS FOR FOOD AND SHELTER) AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN ASSURING THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO THRIVE. ALONG THESE LINES, THE WELL-BEING PORTFOLIO OUTLINES SEVEN VITAL CONDITIONS FOR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING: BASIC NEEDS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY, LIFELONG LEARNING, MEANINGFUL WORK AND WEALTH, HUMANE HOUSING, A THRIVING NATURAL WORLD, RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION, AND BELONGING AND CIVIC MUSCLE. AS WE HAVE ASSESSED THE HEALTH NEEDS OF PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY, WE HAVE BEEN SURE TO CONSIDER THE ROLE OF HEALTH CARE IN ADDRESSING BOTH URGENT NEEDS AND THE BROADER VITAL CONDITIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN THE REGION.THIS INTRODUCTION PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF LVHN'S 2025 CHNA PROCESS. THE 2025 CHNA 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 IS THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (CHIP), WHICH OUTLINES OUR PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THE 2025 CHNA REPORTS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, AS WELL AS ALL PAST CHNA REPORTS, ARE PROVIDED AT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA.THE 2025 LVHN CHNA IS BROKEN OUT INTO THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: DEMOGRAPHICS, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE READER WILL FIND CALL-OUT BOXES THROUGHOUT THE CHNA REPORTS THAT PROVIDE THEMES FROM KEY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. THE CHIP WAS ALSO REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE VARIOUS HOSPITAL CAMPUS BOARDS AND THE LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES.NOTE: IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE 2025 CHNA AND CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, LVHN MERGED WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL LVHN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. GOING FORWARD, PLANS WILL FEATURE THE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION OF JEFFERSON HEALTH.
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.
PART VI, LINE 4:	THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA OF LVH-POCONO/LVH-DICKSON CITY INCLUDES MONROE AND LACKAWANNA COUNTIES. U.S. CENSUS BUREAU DATA FOR THE 2020 CENSUS INDICATES THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA POPULATION WAS APPROXIMATELY 384,223.
