Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, INC.. BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2021, BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM UNDERTOOK COMPLETING A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). OUR APPROACH UTILIZES BOTH QUANTITATIVE DATA (SECONDARY DATA, KEY INFORMANT SURVEY) AND QUALITATIVE DATA (FOCUS GROUPS, OPEN-ENDED RESPONSES). ONCE THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY WERE DETERMINED, A QUALITATIVE APPROACH WAS USED TO GATHER RICHER INSIGHT INTO THE MAIN ISSUES FACED BY THE COMMUNITY. THEREFORE, THE METHODOLOGY FOLLOWED FOR THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT CONSISTS OF THREE STEPS: 1) IDENTIFY NEEDS; 2) ANALYZE THE LINKS BETWEEN THE NEEDS AND THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO MAKE DECISIONS; 3) MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT GUIDE DECISION-MAKING. THE DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS PROCESS STARTED IN JANUARY 2021 AND CONCLUDED IN NOVEMBER 2021. THE KEY FINDINGS WERE CONSOLIDATED IN ONE REPORT WHICH PROVIDED A SNAPSHOT OF THE THREE-COUNTY OVERALL HEALTH STATUS. THE KEY INFORMANT SURVEY COLLECTED INFORMATION FROM FEBRUARY 2021 THROUGH MAY 2021. FOCUS GROUPS LAUNCHED IN AUGUST 2021 AND CONCLUDED IN OCTOBER 2021. THIS ASSESSMENT FOCUSED ON CREATING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE BEACON COMMUNITY (ELKHART, LAPORTE, MARSHALL, AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTIES) AND THE RESPONSE NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE NEED. DATA WAS COLLECTED THROUGH SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION, A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY, AND COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS CENTERED ON HEALTH INDICATORS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE GOAL OF THE CHNA IS TO PROVIDE BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM WITH A CLEAR PICTURE OF ELKHART, LAPORTE, MARSHALL, AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, WHICH CONSTITUTES THE SERVICE AREAS OF ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OF SOUTH BEND, AND COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OF BREMEN. THE FINDINGS FROM THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE USED BY BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM TO PRIORITIZE HEALTH ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RESEARCH TOOK THE FOLLOWING APPROACH TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: KEY INFORMANT SURVEY - A SURVEY WAS PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THOSE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE COMMUNITIES' HEALTH ISSUES. THE LIST OF KEY INFORMANTS WAS DEVELOPED BY BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT STAFF ALONG WITH INPUT FROM A VARIETY OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS. TWO HUNDRED AND SEVEN COMPLETED RESPONSES WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED. SECONDARY DATA RESEARCH - INFORMATION RELATED TO THE CURRENT STATE OF THE COMMUNITIES' ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND HEALTH STATUS PUBLISHED BY ESTABLISHED SOURCES. DATA, WHEN POSSIBLE, WAS COLLECTED FOR A THREE-YEAR PERIOD IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A TREND. OVER 1,000 DATA POINTS WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED, ENCOMPASSING MORE THAN 80 BEST PRACTICE INDICATORS. DATA FROM BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR) WERE ALSO USED AS A SECONDARY DATA SOURCE. THE SECONDARY DATA REVIEWED SO FAR HAS ALL BEEN AGGREGATED AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, AND DOES NOT REVEAL WHEN THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN INDICATORS BASED ON RACE, ETHNICITY, AGE, NEIGHBORHOOD, OR SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS. WHEN STRATIFIED BY THESE CATEGORIES, PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE SOURCES AND DATA FROM BEACON'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR) FROM LATE 2020 - EARLY 2021, DEMONSTRATE DISPARITIES IN BOTH HEALTH OUTCOMES AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS - GROUPS OF 3 - 18 INDIVIDUALS WERE ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE CURRENT HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT UTILIZED STANFORD'S FOCUS GROUP GUIDE AND CONDUCTED THREE FOCUS GROUPS PER COUNTY (ELKHART, MARSHALL, AND ST. JOSEPH). STAFF CONDUCTED AT LEAST TWO ENGLISH AND ONE SPANISH FOCUS GROUP PER COUNTY. EACH FOCUS GROUP WAS RECORDED FOR CONTINUITY. FOCUS GROUP RECORDINGS WERE TRANSCRIBED AND DE-IDENTIFIED USING A PROFESSIONAL TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH SOFTWARE TOOLS WERE UTILIZED TO ANALYZE THE TRANSCRIPTS FOR COMMON THEMES. STAFF THEN ENGAGED IN AN INTERRATER RELIABILITY CHECK TO ENSURE ACCURACY OF IDENTIFIED THEMES. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), THE COMMUNITY SERVED IS DEFINED AS THOSE PERSONS RESIDING IN ELKHART AND ST JOSEPH COUNTIES, WHO WERE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT MAKES A SPECIAL EFFORT TO FOCUS ON POPULATIONS WITH THE HIGHEST UNMET NEEDS, SPECIFICALLY THOSE PERSONS WHO ARE KNOWN AS VULNERABLE, THROUGH CHRONIC DISEASES, LOWER-INCOME AND POVERTY, MEMBERS OF A MINORITY POPULATION AND/OR THE UNINSURED. STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATED AND REPRESENTED A BROAD KNOWLEDGE OF INTERESTS, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH, AND MINORITY, CULTURAL, AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS BEACON ENSURED THAT UNDER-REPRESENTED POPULATIONS (MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS) WERE ENGAGED IN THE CONSULTATION PROCESS, ACTIVELY REACHING OUT TO THEM, ENSURING THAT NEEDS AND PERCEPTIONS FROM A WIDE RANGE OF DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN THE DEFINITION OF TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES. THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS HELPED INCREASE THE REACH OF THE SURVEY, HENCE SOLICITED IN ORDER FOR BEACON TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT RECEIVED FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES: AIDS MINISTRIES, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY BEIRUT, BAUGO COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, BEACON CANCER CARE, BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT, BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM, POKAGON HEALTH SERVICES, IU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - SOUTH BEND, BEACON MEDICAL GROUP, BEACON PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY, BEACON - NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA SICKLE CELL INITIATIVE, BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN, REGION, BOWEN CENTER, BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF ST.

THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS IDENTIFIED TWO HEALTH PRIORITIES THAT CAN BE STREAMLINED INTO THE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM'S MISSION. PRIORITY AREAS - HEALTHCARE ACCESS (HEALTH LITERACY) AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR THE ALIGNMENT OF INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH BHS MISSION AND VALUES THAT AIM FOR 1) PROVIDING INFORMATION AND ENHANCE SKILLS TO PATIENTS/PRACTITIONERS/COMMUNITY; 2) IMPROVING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS; 3) LEVERAGING INCENTIVES FOR LONG-TERM BEHAVIORAL CHANGE; AND 4) IMPROVING AND STRENGTHENING THE SOCIAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS IN THE THREE-COUNTY AREA.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6a Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, INC.. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL (EGH) DEVELOPED THE 2021 ST. JOSEPH COUNTY CHNA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OF SOUTH BEND, COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OF BREMEN, BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM (BHS) CARE PARTNERS.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, INC.. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WAS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH POSTING ON THE EGH WEBSITE AT BEACONHEALTHSYSTEM.ORG/CHNA AND THROUGH EMAIL TRANSMISSION UPON REQUEST. HOSPITAL STAFF WERE ALSO AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES IN REQUESTED COMMUNITY FORUMS.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL. Beacon Health System's 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment identified two top health priorities: Mental Health and Healthcare Access. These were common across all three counties where Beacon operates a hospital. Our approach to Community Benefit includes addressing these health needs from three angles. With each approach, both internal programs and externally funded partners are required to report on common metrics. This allows Beacon to focus its resources to achieve and demonstrate a deeper impact in our priority health areas. Beacon Community Impact provided community resources to 45,750 individuals across our service area - Elkhart, Marshall, and St. Joseph, IN Counties. In 2022, we first recognized the importance of partnering with other organizations who are experts in what they do, Beacon funds community non-profits who have boots on the ground in the most vulnerable neighborhoods in our service area, and with more diverse populations. Each of our funded partners who are addressing one of the tactics outlined on the Implementation Strategy are responsible for reporting both the number of participants they serve and one or more outcome metric in the priority areas of Mental Health or Healthcare Access. In addition, in 2022, Beacon Health System funded three partners to help them build capacity to serve more people or develop an infrastructure to make their service more effective or collect data that demonstrate their impact. Beacon's second angle of evaluating Community Benefit is to provide client programming through the Community Impact department - services are provided by the Early Childhood Services team. Programs include the St. Joseph County WIC program, two Sickle Cells programs, and our Perinatal Care Coordination (PNCC) program. Overall, the focus of these groups is to improve the health status of women, infants, and young families, particularly those who are underserved. Our Community Health Services team focuses on preventive services through community health educators with school curricula delivered throughout the three-county area in middle and high schools. Summer programming shifts to health-related day camps and participation at community health fairs. Though it may not be their primary focus, these community health teams screen for and provide referrals for clients experiencing mental health challenges. Likewise, they emphasize the importance of trusted adults as protective factors for youth. Finally, Beacon administers state and federal grants as the fiscal agent and to deliver direct programming funded by the grants. In 2022, we were involved with grants from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U. S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. These grants funded two programs to provide education about COVID vaccines and provide the vaccines themselves. 2022 was also the second year of administering Project HOPE, and the first year for Support and Safe Psychostimulant also funded by HRSA, which established a coalition of organizations to address opioid use in Marshall County. Similarly, Beacon Community Impact provides services and collaborates with outside organizations with funding from a State of Indiana Safety Pin grant. Finally, Beacon functions as the fiscal agent for programming run by Oaklawn, the local outpatient mental health provider, to build crisis response teams. Mental Health Strategy - Provide wrap-around mental health support with a multidisciplinary team from various referral sources. - Partner on the development of a Self-Healing Community to build resilience and relieve stress on the traditional mental health care system. - Drive the rollout of Trauma-Informed Care throughout Beacon and the community. - Health and Wellness Team - provide evidence-based community and school education. - Community Health Workers (CHWs) on the Early Childhood Services and Community Health Services teams provide peer-led education to address mental wellness and resilience. Healthcare Access Strategy - Embed in Beacon Medical Group practices to work with pregnant women with adverse childhood experiences and social determinants of health needs. - Have a community health worker at Community Hospital of Bremen. - Grow and standardize the use of community health workers for scaling out in the future. - Implement experts in navigating the healthcare system. - Educate patients to optimize their use of the health system. - Refer to insurance navigators for insurance enrollment. - Build organizational health literacy between Beacon and Community Impact departments. Mental Health Metrics % of the population with frequent mental health distress % of the population with two or more trusted support people Healthcare Access Metrics % of the population with health insurance (adults < 65 and children) % of adults who reported their healthcare providers always involved them in decisions about their care, as much as they wanted. NEEDS NOT BEING ADDRESSED: By overlapping the top identified needs from the Key Informants, Secondary Data, and Focus Groups, we see that Mental Health, Chronic Disease, and Healthcare Access are the top health issues identified by all data sources combined. Other issues may have ranked higher by just one source, but not all three. Notably, sexually transmitted disease, immunization and infectious disease, and injury and violence prevention were among the top issues according to secondary data, but among the lowest rated issues according to key informants and focus groups. Overweight / obesity is also a top health issue according to secondary data; it ranked as a moderate health issue according to the other sources, just not at the top. Community Gaps Key Informants provided many ideas on areas of improvement. Most commonly, is the concern about the lack of mental health providers in the area. "From my experience, our biggest challenge stems from workforce shortages in mental health. If we could hire the amount of staff we need, our capacity would be much greater. It has been very difficult to find a competent and caring staff that can maintain a career in mental health and substance use." More specifically, the area needs more programs and/or services around pediatric mental health. As one Key Informant stated, "Mental health issues have drastically increased in our K-12 student population. We need to empower more school personnel to help students with these issues, and we need more mental health professionals in our school systems." Accessing mental health and more broadly, health services, is increasingly hard for low-income individuals. Focus group participants and Key Informants noted how navigating the healthcare system is too complex. Health insurance navigators and additional community resources are needed to ensure everyone can get to the appointments they need to get to and are informed. "I believe we need more outreach efforts. I think Beacon has the ability to meet families where they are-- whether it's at the childcare provider or a place of employment. We need to make healthcare more accessible." Another Key Informant went on to mirror these thoughts, "I think our wellness system is still not accessible to everyone. Self-advocacy, tenacity, and resilience are necessary to access health systems and to navigate social support systems. We need ways to reach people by attraction and positive experiences without screening highest need which causes further barriers." Community Strengths Key informants identified collaboration among non-profit service providers, agencies addressing food insecurity, and the public parks system, particularly South Bend's Venues Parks and Arts, as strengths in the community. They identified a number of organizations who do quality work to improve the health of the community. These include medical providers who serve low-income or the uninsured population, multiple organizations who provide emergency food access, some who serve specific populations such as homeless individuals, people with cancer, children, or people with substance use disorder. Again, collaborative efforts were noticed by the key informants.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a EXPLANATION OF ORGANIZATION'S PREPARATION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	CREATING COMMUNITY HEALTH IS AT THE CORE OF ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL'S MISSION. PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IS OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND A KEY TO LONG-TERM COST EFFECTIVENESS. IN ADDITION, IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF A COMMUNITY IS AS MUCH A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AS IT IS A MEDICAL ONE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ORGANIZATION TAKES A BROAD APPROACH TO CREATING COMMUNITY HEALTH. THIS APPROACH HAS INCLUDED: ONGOING EDUCATION OF BOARD MEMBERS, STAFF AND LOCAL LEADERS THROUGH COMMUNITY PLUNGES (EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVITIES TO INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY RESIDENTS WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED AGENCY), COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SUPPORT, STRATEGIC ALLOCATION OF TITHING RESOURCES, A CLEAR STATEMENT OF VISION AND GOALS, A COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND PROMOTION OF VOLUNTEER INVOLVEMENT AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL TITHES 10% OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S INCOME FROM OPERATIONS AND TRANSFERS IT TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND FOR INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS INVESTMENT IS IN ADDITION TO THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND PREVENTION, AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED THROUGH ITS OPERATING BUDGET. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD MAKES ONGOING POLICY AND OVERSEES THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FUND AND DETERMINES SPECIFIC INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS BASED UPON THE ASSETS AND NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF ARE COMMITTED TO PRUDENTLY INVESTING THESE RESOURCES IN AN ACCOUNTABLE MANNER. AS A COMMUNITY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INVEST OUR RESOURCES AND ENERGIES INTO UNDERSTANDING AND MEETING THE DIVERGENT HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF ALL, AND ENSURE THAT EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, RECEIVES THE CARE THEY NEED. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR THE COLLABORATION EFFORTS WHICH ENGAGE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WITH DIVERSE SOCIO-ECONOMIC RELIGIOUS, ETHNIC, RACE, AGE, AND GENDER IDENTITY HARACTERISTICS. OUR TEAM OF PASSIONATE AND DEDICATED HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, ALONG WITH MANY PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE NORTHERN INDIANA AND SOUTHERN MICHIGAN (MICHIANA) REGION, HELPED US CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY. FURTHER, ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN SERVING THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. EIN 45-3864076, PREPARES THE ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING FOR ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	THE COSTING METHOD USED TO CALCULATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REPORTED ON LINES 7 A THROUGH D WAS THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. ALL OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS WERE CALCULATED USING DIRECT COSTS. Part I, Line 7 Column (F) BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $18,753,156 WAS REMOVED FROM TOTAL EXPENSES.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities	Elkhart County's early childhood initiative, Building Strong Brains, represents an unprecedented coordinated, system approach to kindergarten readiness. Five local organizations agree to collectively lead a coalition of stakeholders across education, health, business, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors, with the goal of increasing kindergarten readiness for the children in Elkhart County. The comprehensive approach includes maternal & child health, community supports for children and families, and quality childcare and early learning environments. The coalition has been divided into three action teams that each have a specialty of focus to map the current system of services and supports and identify opportunities and gaps and identifies potential strategies to address need. Beacon Community Impact gladly supports this coalition, we have had an associate serving as an Action Team Chair since the inception in 2022. The Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce has many councils, the purpose of the Education/Career Development Council is to support, promote and align with our education system, worker training and instruction programs to help our citizens in Elkhart County meet the demands of the future. Beacon Community Impact supports this effort, we have an associate serving as a Co-Chair to share information from our health system and bridge the needs of the community with educators and local businesses in the greater Elkhart area. By meeting with local school administrators we are able to share updates from our CHNA strategies, provide resources and connect partners more efficiently. Beacon Health System is also able to support the goal of the council in which to increase the level of career and college readiness in Elkhart County by welcoming internships from our local Elkhart County high schools at Elkhart General Hospital and offices. In addition, BCI is active with the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce Leadership Academy Advisory Council, this work promotes servant leadership through an awareness program combining key community issues and enhanced leadership skill development to advance community stewardship. Together We Rock Program, which serves and brings together infant and early childhood providers in Elkhart County for learning circles, training and collaboration. This work parallels the Partnership for Children (PFC) program in many ways, just with an early childhood focus. Beacon Community Impact has a representative on this coalition.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount	THE CORPORATION EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RCEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYOR CLASS, AND THE ANTICIPATED FUTURE UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. COSTING METHODOLOGY IS THE SAME AS TAX FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, WORKSHEET 2 METHODOLOGY. PATIENT CARE IS COST ADJUSTED BY NON-PATIENT ACTIVITY, EXPENSES, AND PATIENT CARE CHARGES. THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 2 IS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, AS DETERMINED BY WORKSHEET 2, TO TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE PER THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE WHICH IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ELIGIBLE PATIENTS IS CONSIDERED PART OF ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE OF OUR MISSION TO CREATE A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY WHILE CONTINUING OUR CHARITABLE ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology	BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FAP IS ESTIMATED BASED ON THE HISTORICAL TREND OF THE SOURCES OF THE BAD DEBT. THE MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATRIBUTABLE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHICH REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THE FAP. WE HAVE APPLIED THE HISTORICAL ESTIMATE (50%) TO THE TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FAP.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, HISTORICAL ECONOMIC TRENDS, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCES PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY MAJOR PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THE REVIEW ARE THEN UTILIZED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS, AS NECESSARY, TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO PROVIDE FOR AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE CORPORATION'S UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, THE CORPORATION RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs	RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. PARTICIPATION IN THE GOVERNMENTAL MEDICARE PROGRAM DOES NOT PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A HOSPITAL TO NEGOTIATE A REIMBURSEMENT RATE OR STRUCTURE THAT WOULD ALLOW THE HOSPITAL TO COVER THE COST OF THE MEDICAL SERVICE RENDERED TO THE PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, AS WOULD BE THE CASE IN CONTRACTUAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH COMMERCIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES. NOR IS THE HOSPITAL ALLOWED TO PROVIDE ONLY THE SERVICES FOR WHICH REIMBURSEMENT COVERS THE DIRECT COST OF CARE. THIS PRODUCES THE SAME SHORTFALL OUTCOME AS DOES THE PARTICIPATION IN THE MEDICAID PROGRAM. THE MEDICAID PROGRAM IS RECOGNIZED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON SCHEDULE H AND ON COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTS FOR MOST STATES. THE QUALITY AND COST OF THE PATIENT CARE IS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF PAYOR SOURCE. HENCE THE ACCEPTANCE OF MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT REPRESENTS A REDUCTION OR RELIEF OF THE GOVERNMENT BURDEN TO PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE PROVIDED. THE SOURCE USED FOR THE COSTING METHODOLOGY FOR THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 WAS THE 2021 MEDICARE COST REPORT.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOLLOW THE SAME COLLECTION POLICY AS ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH BALANCES REMAINING AFTER APPLICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. CREDIT AND COLLECTIONS POLICY: ELHART GENERAL HOSPITAL RELIES ON TIMELY PAYMENT OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TO ALLOW THE HOSPITAL TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY MEDICAL CARE AND TO SECURE THE LATEST IN HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGY FOR ITS PATIENTS. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, RECOGNIZING THE BURDEN THAT UNEXPECTED HEALTH CARE EXPENSES CAN PLACE ON PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WILL ASSIST PATIENTS TO RESOLVE OPEN ACCOUNTS FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES BY WORKING WITH THIRD PARTY PAYERS TO ADJUDICATE PATIENT'S INSURANCE CLAIMS AND BY PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT PLANS FOR PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED CARE FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY. HOWEVER, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME GOVERNMENT AND CONTRACTED CARE PLANS, ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESOLUTION OR PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS RESTS WITH THE PATIENT. PATIENTS ARE EXPECTED TO WORK WITH HOSPITAL PERSONNEL TO RESOLVE ACCOUNTS WITH THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES AND/OR EMPLOYERS AS APPROPRIATE. WHERE THERE IS AN ESTIMATED SELF-PAY BALANCE DUE, ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL WILL ASK NON-EMERGENCY PATIENTS TO PAY THAT BALANCE PRIOR TO OR AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION/REGISTRATION. 1. IF A PATIENT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DOES NOT PAY THEIR ACCOUNT ACCORDING TO THE OPTIONS PROVIDED, THEN THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT WILL BE PROCESSED ACCORDING TO THE BAD DEBT WRITE OFF POLICY. 2. IF A PATIENT HAS BEGUN MAKING PAYMENTS BUT THEN IS LATER DETERMINED TO QUALIFY UNDER THE FAP, ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL WOULD ISSUE A REFUND TO THE PATIENT FOR ANY AMOUNT THAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO EXCEED THEIR NEWLY DETERMINED FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. 3. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL MAY REQUEST AND COLLECT A DEPOSIT, BASED ON THE PATIENT'S TOTAL ESTIMATED PORTION OF A BILL, FROM APPROPRIATE NON-EMERGENCY INPATIENT ADMISSIONS, SAME DAY SURGERY PATIENTS, AND PATIENTS SCHEDULED FOR HIGH-DOLLAR OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES PRIOR TO OR AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION OR REGISTRATION. IN THE EVENT THAT A REQUEST FOR PAYMENT IS NOT MADE PRIOR TO OR AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT'S ARRIVAL, A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR MAY CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED DEPOSIT AMOUNT AND CONFER WITH THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR FOR PAYMENT FOLLOWING THE ADMISSION OR REGISTRATION PROCESS VIA A FINANCIAL INTERVIEW. (IN SOME INSTANCES, THIS COULD OCCUR WHILE THE PATIENT IS IN HIS/HER ASSIGNED ROOM.) AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE, EMERGENCY PATIENTS MAY BE REQUESTED TO PAY ANY CO-PAY OR DEDUCTIBLE. 4. WHERE APPROPRIATE, ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL WILL IDENTIFY, AND REQUEST PAYMENT OF, AGED PATIENT BALANCES AS PART OF THE REQUEST FOR DEPOSIT. PAYMENT FOR OPEN PRIOR BALANCES WILL NOT DELAY CARE FOR EMERGENCY OR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. AGED OPEN PRIOR BALANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE COLLECTION STAFF IN PATIENT ACCOUNT SERVICES WHENEVER PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS OR AN ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT PROGRAM IS DEVELOPED FOR A PATIENT. 5.

Elkhart General Hospital seeks to promote the health and wellbeing of Elkhart County residents, with specific focus on the most vulnerable populations, by providing education to aid in early detection and prevention of disease and to improve the health status of the community as a whole. A key mechanism by which this goal is carried out is Elkhart General Hospital's serious, consistent, deliberate search for and partnership with like-minded organizations. Elkhart General Hospital continues to seek out partnerships with multiple community entities to address the needs of the medically underserved and to improve the health status of our community. These collaborative alliances included local public health, schools, churches, social service agencies, minority advocacy groups, victim assistance, and community health providers. Elkhart General Hospital's governing body is comprised of persons who reside in Elkhart County. Board of Directors, who serve without pay, guides the system in its mission to provide high quality, affordable health care to the communities it serves.

Additionally, Elkhart General Hospital extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in our community. Beacon recognizes that participating in volunteerism enriches the lives of the workforce as well as the community.

Beacon is accredited by the Indiana State Medical Association and is able to provide these ongoing education sessions free of charge. Beacon also designates continuing education credits for the sessions. Memorial Hospital of South Bend and Elkhart General Hospital each host two educational sessions every month where attendance is free and open to the public. Topics range from management of diseases or conditions, diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations for patient care, updates on new studies, social determinants of health discussions and more. The Medical Education Committee has existing partnerships within the community. Through the partnerships with the Saint Joseph and Elkhart County Health Departments, Grand Round discussions include education around the opioid crisis and gun violence, with the goal to improve community wellness. Additionally, Beacon actively participates in helping educate doctors in training at both the Indiana University School of Medicine and Marian University, Indianapolis, College of Osteopathic Medicine. These efforts help recruit future physicians to the area and ultimately to become part of Beacon. Having more providers in the area benefits the community by improving access to care.
