SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 IN THE CHARITY CARE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SECTION OF LINE 7, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN UTILIZES A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO (CCR) DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT TO CALCULATE THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED. THIS RATIO REFLECTS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL PATIENT CARE COSTS AND TOTAL PATIENT CHARGES DURING THE FISCAL YEAR AND PROVIDES A STANDARDIZED METHOD FOR CONVERTING CHARGES INTO ESTIMATED COSTS. THE CCR IS CALCULATED BY DIVIDING THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENT CARE (AS REPORTED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT) BY THE TOTAL GROSS PATIENT SERVICE CHARGES. THIS RATIO IS THEN APPLIED CONSISTENTLY ACROSS ALL PATIENT SERVICE CATEGORIES INCLUDED IN THE CHARITY CARE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SECTION TO ENSURE ACCURACY AND COMPARABILITY OF REPORTED COSTS. BY USING THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AS THE FOUNDATION, THE HOSPITAL ENSURES THAT THE COST ESTIMATES ALIGN WITH FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING STANDARDS, WHICH ACCOUNT FOR THE FULL RANGE OF HOSPITAL SERVICES AND PATIENT SEGMENTS.
