| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 3I | DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022, THE ORGANIZATION COMPLETED A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA") AND BEGAN A THREE - YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. FOR EACH SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEED IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA THE ORGANIZATION DEVELOPED AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY THAT DESCRIBED PLANS TO ADDRESS EACH IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED. THE ORGANIZATION'S MOST RECENT CHNA DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S PRIOR CHNA. HOWEVER, ANNUALLY THE ORGANIZATION PUBLICIZES INFORMATION ON IT'S WEBSITE WHICH DESCRIBES THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA. THE ORGANIZATION'S REPORT INCLUDES DETAIL WHICH SUMMARIZES AND EVALUATES MAJOR EFFORTS TIED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THE ORGANIZATION'S IMPLEMENTATION PLAN UPDATE IS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE ON ITS WEBSITE AND CAN FOUND AT THE FOLLOWING URL: WWW.SLHN.ORG/COMMUNITY-HEALTH/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT/CAMPUS |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5 | ST LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK CONDUCTED ONE COLLABORATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA") FOR ITS RURAL CAMPUSES - ST. LUKE'S MINERS, LEHIGHTON, CARBON, AND GEISINGER ST. LUKE'S. THE CAMPUSES' COMMUNITIES RESIDE IN THE RURAL REGIONS OF NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, IN CARBON AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTIES, (ALL LOCATIONS IN SCHUYLKILL AND NESQUEHONING, SUMMIT HILL AND LANSFORD IN CARBON ARE DETERMINED HRSA-DESIGNATED RURAL BY HRSA RURAL HEALTH GRANTS ELIGIBILITY ANALYZER) AND SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE COALDALE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA. THE PRIMARY DATA WAS COLLECTED THROUGH KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEYS, WHERE 11,523 SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED WITHIN THE NETWORK'S FOURTEEN CAMPUS GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS. PRIMARY DATA WAS ALSO COLLECTED THROUGH CAMPUS SPECIFIC KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, WHERE THE MAIN PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED. SECONDARY DATA INCLUDED THE USE OF COUNTY LEVEL, STATE LEVEL, AND NATIONAL LEVEL DATA OBTAINED VIA THE U.S. CENSUS, THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION, VITAL STATISTICS, COMMUNITY COMMONS, THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AS WELL AS OTHER DATA SOURCES, WHICH CAN BE FOUND FOOTNOTED IN EACH CHNA. THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED WITHIN EACH FOCUS GROUP WAS SUPPLEMENTED BY SURVEY DATA AND SECONDARY DATA IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF THE NEEDS IN EACH COMMUNITY AND THE OUTSIDE FACTORS AFFECTING THESE HEALTH ISSUES. THROUGH REVIEW OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA, THE NETWORK WAS ABLE TO CATEGORIZE THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS INTO FOUR MAJOR CATEGORIES FOR THE JUNE 30, 2022 - JUNE 30, 2025, CHNA CYCLE. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 6A & 6B | THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA WAS CONDUCTED BY ST. LUKE'S HEALTH NETWORK. THE NETWORK CONDUCTED A COLLABORATIVE CHNA FOR ITS WESTERN RURAL CAMPUSES WHICH INCLUDED: ST. LUKE'S MINERS, LEHIGHTON, CARBON CAMPUSES, AND GEISINGER ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA IS THE RESULT OF A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO WORKED TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY THE MOST-PRESSING HEALTHCARE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. AS OUTLINED IN THE APPENDIX OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY PARTNERS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: - ABC TAMAQUA HI-RISE APARTMENTS - AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY - AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER, EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST PA - BOROUGH OF TAMAQUA - CARBON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - CARBON COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION - CARBON - MONROE - PIKE MENTAL HEALTH AND DRUG AND ALCOHOL - CHILD DEVELOPMENT INC.

| SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11 | THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA WAS COMPLETED AND MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE PRIOR TO JUNE 30, 2022. THEREAFTER, A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM MET REGULARLY AND PARTICIPATED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PROCESS. DURING THIS PROCESS AND THROUGH REVIEW OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA, THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO CATEGORIZE THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS INTO THREE MAJOR CATEGORIES FOR THE 2022-2025 CHNA CYCLE. THESE PRIORITY HEALTH CATEGORIES INCLUDE: 1) IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE/REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES 2) PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASE 3) IMPROVING MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH 4) COVID RESPONSE A NETWORK WIDE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS CREATED TO ADDRESS THE THREE IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIES. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS DEVELOPED TO CONTINUE ESTABLISHED EFFORTS AND FOSTER COMMUNITY COLLABORATION TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. THROUGH FOUR NETWORK-WIDE INITIATIVES, THE NETWORK WIDE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY APPROACHES THE THREE HEALTH PRIORITY AREAS DETERMINED BY THE CHNA FROM THREE MAIN VANTAGES: 1) WELLNESS AND PREVENTION 2) CARE TRANSFORMATION 3) RESEARCH AND PARTNERSHIPS THESE PRIORITY HEALTH AREAS AND UNMET NEEDS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT STRATEGY. ST. LUKE'S LEADERS CONTINUE TO MONITOR NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTS AND SERVICES IN ORDER TO MEET AND ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. PROGRAMMING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA IS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OVER 200 ORGANIZATIONS NETWORK WIDE, A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF PARTNERS CAN BE FOUND ON THE LAST PAGE OF EACH OF THE CAMPUS SPECIFIC CHNAS. THE ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK CHNA IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AS WELL AS SEPARATE HOSPITAL CAMPUS IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES CAN BE VIEWED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES INCLUDE AND DESCRIBE VARIOUS INITIATIVES AND PLANS IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THE UNMET NEEDS DISCOVERED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA PROCESS. ANNUAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN UPDATE REPORTS DESCRIBE EFFORTS UNDERTAKEN BY THE NETWORK TO ADDRESS THE CHNA IDENTIFIED NEEDS. HOSPITALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO, NOR CAN THEY MEET ALL OF THE UNMET NEEDS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. ANY UNMET NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED IN THE SERVICE AREA BY THE HOSPITAL, OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENT, OR VARIOUS LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. |

|---|---|
| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C | THE GRANTING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED UPON AN INDIVIDUALIZED DETERMINATION OF FINANCIAL NEED, AND DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AGE, GENDER, RACE, SOCIAL OR IMMIGRANT STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. IN ADDITION TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA NOTED ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNINSURED, INELIGIBLE FOR ANY GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFIT PROGRAM, AND THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE, BASED UPON DETERMINATION OF FINANCIAL NEED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME EXCEEDS 300% OF THE FPL MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE DISCOUNTED RATES ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS BASED ON THEIR SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS OR MEDICAL INDIGENCE, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ORGANIZATION. THERE ARE INSTANCES WHEN A PATIENT APPEARS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, BUT THERE IS NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FORM ON FILE DUE TO LACK OF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. OFTEN THERE IS ADEQUATE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PATIENT OR OBTAINED THROUGH OTHER SOURCES, WHICH COULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO PROVIDE THE PATIENT WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IN THE EVENT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ORGANIZATION MAY USE OUTSIDE AGENCIES IN DETERMINING ESTIMATED INCOME AMOUNTS FOR THE BASIS OF DETERMINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY AND POTENTIAL DISCOUNT AMOUNTS. PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY MAY BE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF INDIVIDUAL LIFE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT MAY INCLUDE: - STATE-FUNDED PRESCRIPTION PROGRAMS; - HOMELESS OR RECEIVED CARE FROM A HOMELESS CLINIC; - PARTICIPATION IN WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN PROGRAMS (WIC); - FOOD STAMP ELIGIBILITY; - SUBSIDIZED SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY; - ELIGIBILITY FOR OTHER STATE OR LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE UNFUNDED (E.G., MEDICAID SPEND DOWN); - LOW INCOME/SUBSIDIZED HOUSING IS PROVIDED AS A VALID ADDRESS; - PATIENT IS DECEASED WITH NO KNOWN ESTATE; - DECLARED CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY AND CARE WAS INCURRED PRIOR TO BANKRUPTCY; AND - DECLARED CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY AND PATIENT WILL HAVE UNPAID BALANCE AFTER THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE IS RECEIVED. ADDITIONALLY, PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY MIGHT INCLUDE THE USE OF EXTERNAL PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA SOURCES THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION ON A PATIENT'S OR A PATIENT'S GUARANTOR'S ABILITY TO PAY (SUCH AS CREDIT SCORING). ONCE DETERMINED, DUE TO THE INHERENT NATURE OF THE PRESUMPTIVE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO 100% WRITE OFF OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES, WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION, CARE FOR ALL EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS TO INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY OR ABILITY TO PAY. IT IS THE POLICY OF ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS OF THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ACTIVE LABOR TRANSPORT ACT OF 1986 ("EMTALA") AND THE EMTALA REGULATIONS IN PROVIDING A MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION AND SUCH FURTHER TREATMENT AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO STABILIZE AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL COMING TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SEEKING TREATMENT. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A | NOT APPLICABLE. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 | THE STRATAJAZZ DECISION SUPPORT/COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ("STRATAJAZZ") WAS THE TOOL UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE COST OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID, MEDICAID HMO AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. THE ENTIRE ACTIVITY WAS COSTED THROUGH THE STRATAJAZZ APPLICATION, TO INCLUDE INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, EMERGENCY ROOM AND ALL PAYERS. COSTING CONSISTED OF ALLOCATING COST FROM THE DEPARTMENTAL LEVEL DOWN TO THE SERVICE ITEM LEVEL. ONCE COSTS WERE DETERMINED AT THE SERVICE ITEM LEVEL, WE THEN AGGREGATED ENCOUNTERS INTO THE DEFINED TARGETED GROUPS. FOR DETERMINATION OF THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS FOR MEDICAID, MEDICAID HMO AND SUBSIDIZED SERVICES REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST, BAD DEBT, AND ALL OVERLAPPING CASES REPORTED ELSEWHERE WERE EXCLUDED. THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES WAS UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RATIO CONFORMS TO THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL/SURPLUS WAS DETERMINED USING THE MEDICARE COMPLEX COST REPORTING FORM UTILIZING ALLOWABLE MEDICARE COSTS. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G | THE AMOUNT INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE REPRESENT SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES RELATED TO ER - TRAUMA AND PRIMARY CARE HEALTH SERVICES, BOTH OF WHICH ARE DOCUMENTED HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITTY. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART II | THIS ORGANIZATION HAS DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS AND GENERAL BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 2, 3 & 4 | BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE MULTIPLIED BY ITS COST TO CHARGE RATIO. RECOGNIZED REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASC 606. THE STANDARD'S CORE PRINCIPLE IS THAT AN ENTITY WILL RECOGNIZE REVENUE WHEN IT TRANSFERS PROMISED GOODS OR SERVICES TO CUSTOMERS IN AN AMOUNT THAT REFLECTS THE CONSIDERATION TO WHICH THE COMPANY EXPECTS TO BE ENTITLED IN EXCHANGE FOR THOSE GOODS OR SERVICES. PLEASE REFER TO FOOTNOTE 4 WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION'S CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC AND THE REPORTING OF THE ORGANIZATION'S REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 | MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT FILED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE", A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE: IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD", HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE", AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLES". THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE". - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 10% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B | THE ORGANIZATION'S MANAGEMENT DEVELOPED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A PATIENT'S GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO APPLY FOR A GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM GEISINGER ST. LUKE'S AND A PATIENT'S GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH HIS OR HER PAYMENT AGREEMENTS. BILLING & COLLECTION POLICY --------------------------- THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ADMINISTERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS FEDERAL AND STATE LAW. THE POLICY IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY WHILE MAINTAINING THE HOSPITAL'S FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY TO MAXIMIZE REIMBURSEMENT AND MINIMIZE BAD DEBT. THE ORGANIZATION'S CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS INTENDED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HIS OR HER CARE. THE ORGANIZATION MAKES SURE THAT PATIENTS ARE ASSISTED IN OBTAINING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FROM PRIVATELY AND PUBLICLY FUNDED SOURCES, WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ALL PATIENT BUSINESS SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE EDUCATED ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY AND ARE EXPECTED TO ADMINISTER THE POLICY ON A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT BASIS. PATIENT BUSINESS SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS WITH COURTESY, RESPECT, CONFIDENTIALITY AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ADMINISTERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES. GSL MANAGEMENT HAS THE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION ACTIVITIES OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BUSINESS OFFICE MANAGEMENT STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY ENFORCEMENT OF APPROVED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. THE HOSPITAL MAY OFFER EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS TO PATIENTS WHO ARE COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS. EMERGENCY & MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES ---------------------------------------- THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIONS THAT DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS FROM SEEKING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. THE ORGANIZATION WILL NEVER DEMAND THAT AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENT PAY BEFORE RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT PERMIT DEBT COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR OTHER AREAS WHERE SUCH ACTIVITIES COULD INTERFERE WITH THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY CARE ON A NONDISCRIMINATORY BASIS. ALL MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF ABILITY TO PAY AND ARE NOT DELAYED PENDING APPLICATION OR APPROVAL OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ADVANCE PAYMENT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ANY MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6) ------------------------------------------------------- GEISINGER ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ("ECAS") AS DEFINED BY INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6) PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD IS DEFINED AS A 120-DAY PERIOD OR GREATER, WHICH BEGINS ON THE DATE OF THE 1ST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT, IN WHICH NO ECAS ARE INITIATED AGAINST THE PATIENT. SUBSEQUENT TO THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD, THE ORGANIZATION, OR ANY THIRD PARTIES ACTING ON ITS BEHALF, MAY INITIATE THE FOLLOWING ECAS AGAINST A PATIENT FOR AN UNPAID BALANCE IF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION HAS NOT BEEN MADE OR IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS INELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THEREAFTER, THE ORGANIZATION MAY AUTHORIZE THIRD PARTIES TO REPORT ADVERSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL TO CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES OR CREDIT BUREAUS ON DELINQUENT PATIENT ACCOUNTS AFTER THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. THE ORGANIZATION ENSURES REASONABLE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND ENSURES THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE TAKEN AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO INITIATING ANY ECA: 1) THE PATIENT IS PROVIDED WITH WRITTEN NOTICE WHICH: - INDICATES THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR ELIGIBLE PATIENTS; - IDENTIFIES THE ECA(S) THAT ORGANIZATION INTENDS TO INITIATE TO OBTAIN PAYMENT FOR THE CARE; AND - STATES A DEADLINE AFTER WHICH SUCH ECAS MAY BE INITIATED. 2) THE PATIENT IS PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY; AND 3) REASONABLE EFFORTS ARE MADE TO ORALLY NOTIFY THE PATIENT ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND HOW THE INDIVIDUAL MAY OBTAIN ASSISTANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE ORGANIZATION ACCEPTS AND PROCESSES ALL APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SUBMITTED DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD. THE APPLICATION PERIOD BEGINS ON THE DATE THE CARE IS PROVIDED AND ENDS ON THE 240TH DAY AFTER THE DATE OF THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2 | THE ORGANIZATION IS A JOINT VENTURE HOSPITAL BETWEEN GEISINGER HEALTH ("GEISINGER") AND ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK ("ST. LUKE'S"); BOTH TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS. ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK'S DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH OVERSEES ASSESSMENT OF THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY HOSPITALS WITHIN THE NETWORK. THE DEPARTMENT IS LED BY VICE PRESIDENT RAJIKA E. REED, PHD, MPH, MED. WITH OVER 20 YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC HEALTH. ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION FROM THE FOLLOWING SOURCES IS PART OF THE DEPARTMENT'S ONGOING HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS: VITAL STATISTICS, PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DATA, HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA, THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON COUNTY HEALTH PROFILES AND OTHER COUNTY DATA AVAILABLE FROM VARIOUS OTHER STATE AGENCIES. IN ADDITION, THE DEPARTMENT COLLECTS ONGOING DATA AND OUTCOMES FROM ITS COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMMING INITIATIVES AND FROM ESTABLISHED COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS. A NUMBER OF OUR CHNA DETERMINED HEALTH PRIORITIES ARE ADDRESSED USING THE EVIDENCE BASED COMMUNITY SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER MODELS TO FOCUSED ON MEDICAL, DENTAL, VISION, MENTAL HEALTH, AND INSURANCE WHILE PROMOTING HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVES, LITERACY AND LEADERSHIP TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES OF OUR COMMUNITY. SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE THE HUB TO CULTIVATE THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS, USING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS, TO CONNECT FAMILIES TO HEALTH SERVICES. THE MISSION IS TO CREATE PATHWAYS FOR EQUITY TOWARD MEASURABLE HEALTH OUTCOMES THROUGH ADVOCACY, ACCESS, AND NAVIGATION OF RESOURCES FOR PARTNERS AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THE VISION IS FOR EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO HAVE ACCESS TO EXCEPTIONAL HEALTHCARE BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF TRUST AND COMPASSION. BASED ON THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, EACH HOSPITAL CAMPUS DEVELOPS PLANS AND PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THOSE IN THE COMMUNITIES. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES, WE PROVIDE MOBILE YOUTH HEALTH SERVICES (CONNECTING STUDENTS TO MEDICAL, DENTAL & VISION VANS, INSURANCE, PHYSICAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND SERVICES), HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVES (GET YOUR TAIL ON THE TRAIL AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS), LITERACY PROGRAMS (READ ACROSS AMERICA, REACH OUT AND READ, AND LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES), AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT (ADOLESCENT CAREER MENTORING). OUR INITIATIVES ARE CONTINUALLY ASSESSED AND EVALUATED TO PROVIDE MEASURABLE AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. LOCAL SCHOOL COORDINATORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP COMMITTEES ASSESS, EVALUATE AND GUIDE THE INITIATIVES THAT FEED INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE MODEL USING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS/SERVICES. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3 | THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ITS COMMUNITY AND IS COMMITTED TO A SERVICE EXCELLENCE PHILOSOPHY THAT STRIVES TO MEET OR EXCEED PATIENT EXPECTATIONS. ALL PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE A UNIFORM STANDARD OF CARE THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL FACILITY, REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL, CULTURAL, FINANCIAL, RELIGIOUS, RACIAL, GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION FACTORS. THE ORGANIZATION STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT ALL PATIENTS RECEIVE ESSENTIAL EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. GEISINGER ST.
