| BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: BAYSTATE HEALTH HOSPITALS SERVE AS PART OF THE COALITION OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITALS/INSURER (COALITION). THE COALITION IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN EIGHT NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND ONE HEALTH INSURER IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS: BAYSTATE MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSTATE NOBLE HOSPITAL, BAYSTATE WING HOSPITAL, BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, COOLEY DICKINSON HOSPITAL, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, HOLYOKE MEDICAL CENTER, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER (A MEMBER OF TRINITY HEALTH NEW ENGLAND), NORTH ADAMS REGIONAL HOSPITAL, AND HEALTH NEW ENGLAND, A LOCAL HEALTH INSURER OWNED BY BAYSTATE HEALTH WHOSE SERVICE AREAS COVERS THE FOUR COUNTIES OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. THE COALITION WAS FORMED IN 2012 TO BRING HOSPITALS WITHIN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS TOGETHER TO SHARE RESOURCES AND WORK IN PARTNERSHIP TO CONDUCT THEIR TRIENNIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (CHNAS) AND ADDRESS REGIONAL NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA. THE INPUT OF THE COMMUNITY AND OTHER IMPORTANT REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS. A WIDE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS TOOK PART IN THE 2022 CHNA PROCESS, INCLUDING LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, OTHER LOCAL MUNICIPAL AGENCIES, DIVERSE COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. THESE STAKEHOLDERS PROVIDED INPUT THROUGH A CHNA REGIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (RAC), FOCUS GROUPS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, COMMUNITY CHATS, AND HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COUNCILS. ADDITIONALLY, COMMUNITY FORUMS WERE CONDUCTED TOWARDS THE END OF THE CHNA PROCESS TO VET PRELIMINARY FINDINGS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. PLEASE REFER TO THE HOSPITALS' CHNA APPENDIX I FOR A COMPLETE LISTING OF PUBLIC HEALTH, COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDED IN THE PROCESS. THE CHNA RAC INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH COALITION MEMBER HOSPITAL/INSURER, AS WELL AS PUBLIC HEALTH AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS FROM EACH HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA. STAKEHOLDERS ON THE RAC INCLUDED LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES; REPRESENTATIVES FROM LOCAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SERVING OR REPRESENTING MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME OR POPULATIONS OF COLOR; AND INDIVIDUALS FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY. IN DECEMBER 2020 PREVIOUS RAC MEMBERS CONDUCTED A NEW STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS TO ENSURE GEOGRAPHIC, SECTOR (E.G., SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND HOUSING), AND RACIAL/ETHNIC DIVERSITY OF RAC. THE RAC MET IN WORKGROUPS (DATA AND REPORTS, ENGAGEMENT AND DISSEMINATION, AND HEALTH EQUITY) TO GUIDE THE CONSULTANTS IN THE PROCESS OF CONDUCTING THE CHNA, PRIORITIZING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, CHNA FINDINGS, AND DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION. ASSESSMENT METHODS AND FINDINGS WERE MODIFIED BASED ON THE RAC'S FEEDBACK. THE RAC CONSISTED OF ABOUT FIFTY PARTICIPANTS, INCLUDING COALITION MEMBERS AND CONSULTANTS. THE RAC MET MONTHLY FROM FEBRUARY 2021 THROUGH JULY 2022. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED TO GATHER INFORMATION USED TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS AND ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATORS, LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS, AND LOCAL LEADERS THAT REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY OR THAT SERVE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME, OR POPULATIONS OF COLOR IN THE SERVICE AREA. INTERVIEWS WITH LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH AREAS AND COMMUNITY FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTH NEEDS. FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVES, COMMUNITY MEMBERS (LOW SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS, PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND OTHERS), AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. TOPICS INCLUDED, BUT WERE NOT LIMITED TO, ACCESS TO BASIC NEEDS, HEALTHCARE LANDSCAPE AND ACCESS, MENTAL HEALTH, AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED FROM FEBRUARY 2022 THROUGH MAY 2022. FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS ENGAGED RESIDENTS PRIMARILY IN HAMPDEN COUNTY, BUT ALSO ACROSS THE REGION. THE CHNA ALSO USED QUALITATIVE DATA FROM OTHER HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS AS APPROPRIATE. BAYSTATE HEALTH HELD TWENTY-TWO CHATS, A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT APPROACH DEVELOPED DURING THE 2019 CHNA ITERATION. DURING COMMUNITY CHATS, RAC MEMBERS BROUGHT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHNA AND GATHERED PRIORITIES IN REGULAR MEETINGS OF SERVICE PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND HOSPITAL CLINICAL STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS. WHILE THESE OUTREACH EFFORTS WERE SPEARHEADED BY BAYSTATE HEALTH, THE ENGAGEMENT AND FINDINGS BENEFITTED ALL COALITION MEMBER HOSPITALS/INSURER. CHATS WERE HELD FROM JANUARY 2022 THROUGH APRIL 2022 AND ENGAGED APPROXIMATELY THREE HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS. |
| BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: THE COALITION OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITALS/INSURER (COALITION) IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN TEN NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND ONE HEALTH INSURER IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS: BAYSTATE MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSTATE NOBLE HOSPITAL, BAYSTATE WING HOSPITAL, BERKSHIRE MEDICAL CENTER, COOLEY DICKINSON HOSPITAL, FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, HOLYOKE MEDICAL CENTER, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER (A MEMBER OF TRINITY HEALTH NEW ENGLAND), NORTH ADAMS REGIONAL HOSPITAL, AND HEALTH NEW ENGLAND, A LOCAL HEALTH INSURER OWNED BY BAYSTATE HEALTH WHOSE SERVICE AREAS COVERS THE FOUR COUNTIES OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. |
| BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: THE COALITION OF WESTERN MA HOSPITALS/ INSURER ENGAGED THE PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE OF WESTERN MA (PHIWM), BASED IN SPRINGFIELD, MA, AS THE LEAD CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT THE CHNAS. PHIWM WAS SUPPORTED BY THREE OTHER CONSULTANT TEAMS: COMMUNITY HEALTH SOLUTIONS (CES), BASED IN NORTHAMPTON, MA; FRANKLIN REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (FRCOG), BASED IN GREENFIELD, MA; AND PIONEER VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION (PVPC), BASED IN SPRINGFIELD, MA. THE COALITION INCLUDES HEALTH NEW ENGLAND, A LOCAL HEALTH INSURER OWNED BY BAYSTATE HEALTH WHOSE SERVICE AREA COVERS THE FOUR COUNTIES OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. |
| BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D: THE HOSPITAL FACILITY MADE ITS CHNA REPORT WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC VIA AN EMAIL DISTRIBUTION (WITH LINKS TO THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE) TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND ORGANIZATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE CHNA REPORTS HAVE INFORMED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COUNTY WIDE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANS IN FRANKLIN AND HAMPDEN COUNTIES AS WELL AS THE QUABOAG HILLS REGION (AN AREA THAT INTERSECTS PARTS OF HAMPSHIRE, HAMPDEN, AND WORCESTER COUNTIES). HOSPITAL AND CHNA CONSULTANT STAFF HAVE BEEN INVITED TO VARIOUS VENUES AND AUDIENCES TO PRESENT ON THE CHNA PROCESS AND KEY FINDINGS. ALL COALITION CHNAS WERE POSTED TO THE HEALTH SYSTEM WEBSITE AND SHARED VIA THE OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS NEWSLETTER TO OVER 1,200 RECIPIENTS. |
| BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: BAYSTATE HEALTH AND ITS FOUR HOSPITALS ANTICIPATE HEALTH NEEDS AND AVAILABLE RESOURCES MAY CHANGE; THEREFORE, A FLEXIBLE APPROACH IS ADOPTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. FOR EXAMPLE, CERTAIN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS MAY BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AND REQUIRE CHANGES TO THE INITIATIVES IDENTIFIED BY THE HOSPITAL IN THE STRATEGY. OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS MAY ADDRESS CERTAIN NEEDS, INDICATING THAT THE HOSPITAL'S STRATEGIES SHOULD BE REFOCUSED ON ALTERNATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS OR ASSUME A DIFFERENT FOCUS ON THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2022 CHNA.THE HOSPITAL FACILITY VIEWS A COMMUNITY BENEFITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AS A "LIVING" DOCUMENT. BAYSTATE HOSPITALS HAVE ADOPTED THE TERM STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (SIP), IN LIEU OF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE HOSPITAL ARE REFERRED TO AS PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS IN THE SIP. DUE TO THE EVOLVING CLIMATE IN HEALTH CARE, THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL HEALTH YEAR TO YEAR REMAINS UNKNOWN; THEREFORE, HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND INPUTS MAY INCREASE, DECREASE, OR NEED TO BE MODIFIED. THE HOSPITAL'S SIP WORK PLAN PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE HOSPITAL TO BE STRATEGIC AND FOCUSED, YET FLEXIBLE IN ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH PLANNING AND IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. THE HOSPITAL FACILITY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COUNCILS REVIEWS THE WORK PLANS QUARTERLY AND THE HOSPITAL UPDATES THE WORK PLANS ON THE HOSPITAL WEBSITE ANNUALLY. NO HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OR HOSPITAL FACILITY CAN ADDRESS ALL THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS PRESENT IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL FACILITY IS COMMITTED TO ADHERING TO ITS MISSION AND REMAINING FINANCIALLY HEALTHY SO THAT IT CAN CONTINUE TO ENHANCE ITS CLINICAL EXCELLENCE AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE, AS WELL AS ADDRESS SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS ALL SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2022 CHNA DUE TO: 1. LIMITED RESOURCES (TIME, TALENT, AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES), 2. THE HOSPITAL IS A STAKEHOLDER AND/OR PARTNER IN ADDRESSING THE NEED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH OTHER HOSPITAL CLINICAL AND SERVICE LINES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, 3. OTHER HOSPITALS OR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE SERVICE AREA ARE ADDRESSING THE NEED; 4. THE NEED FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION OR LIMITED RESOURCE CAPACITY. SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS, REFERRED TO BY THE HOSPITAL AS PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS, BEING ADDRESSED BY THE HOSPITAL INCLUDE HOUSING, PROVIDER SCARCITY, SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH WITH A FOCUS ON YOUTH. SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS NOT TO BE ADDRESSED INCLUDE ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION, HEALTHY FOOD AND BROADBAND, LACK OF RESOURCES TO MEET BASIC NEEDS, EDUCATION, VIOLENCE AND TRAUMA, ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES AND CLIMATE CRISIS, BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE, CHRONIC DISEASE, AND OTHER HEALTH OUTCOMES. BFMC IS CURRENTLY EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE THE PRESENCE OF RECOVERY COACHES AND OTHER SUD RESOURCES FOR PATIENTS WHO PRESENT WITH RELATED SYMPTOMS AND EXPERIENCES. THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COUNCIL (CBAC) HAS BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THIS WORK IN THE ED AND IS SHARING COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON HOW THIS WORK CAN BE IMPLEMENTED. |
| BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13B: ALL PATIENTS WITH ACCOUNT BALANCES (OTHER THAN BALANCES RESULTING FROM CO-PAYMENTS OR DEDUCTIBLES ON INSURED SERVICES) ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A PROMPT PAY DISCOUNT OF 20% OF THE BALANCE FOR CLAIMS PAID IN FULL AT TIME OF SERVICE OR WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE INITIAL BILL. PATIENTS MUST REQUEST THE DISCOUNT. THE DISCOUNT CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH THE HOSPITAL SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER OFFERS A CO-PAYMENT DISCOUNT PROGRAM FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING SERVICES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OF THE HOSPITAL. THIS DISCOUNT PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE TO ALL HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS WITH CO-PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENT HEALTH INSURANCE (UNLESS PROHIBITED BY LAW OR A BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER'S CONTRACT WITH A PRIVATE INSURER OR GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY). THESE PATIENTS MAY REDUCE THE OTHERWISE APPLICABLE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SERVICE CO-PAYMENT BY 10% IF THE PATIENT ELECTS TO PAY THE CO-PAYMENT AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PATIENT'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISIT. |
| BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 15E: BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER (BFMC) PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF STATE PROGRAMS, HEALTH SAFETY NET, OR THE HOSPITAL SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHICH MAY COVER ALL OR SOME OF THEIR UNPAID BFMC BILLS AS WELL AS ABOUT BFMC DISCOUNT PROGRAMS. FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO REQUEST SUCH ASSISTANCE, THE HOSPITAL ASSISTS PATIENTS BY SCREENING THEM FOR ELIGIBILITY IN AVAILABLE STATE PROGRAMS AND ASSISTING THEM IN APPLYING FOR SUCH PROGRAMS. WHEN APPLICABLE, BFMC MAY ALSO ASSIST PATIENTS IN APPLYING FOR COVERAGE OF SERVICES AS A MEDICAL HARDSHIP BASED ON THE PATIENT'S DOCUMENTED INCOME AND ALLOWABLE MEDICAL EXPENSES. BFMC HAS CONTRACTED WITH THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND THE COMMONWEALTH HEALTH INSURANCE CONNECTOR AUTHORITY TO SERVE AS A CERTIFIED APPLICATION COUNSELOR ORGANIZATION. AS A CERTIFIED APPLICATION COUNSELOR (CAC), APPROPRIATE STAFF WILL INFORM A PATIENT OF THE FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY OF A CAC, SEEK THAT THE PATIENT SIGN A CERTIFIED APPLICATION COUNSELOR DESIGNATION FORM, AND ASSIST THE PATIENT IN FINDING APPLICABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. |

| PART I, LINE 6A: | THE HOSPITAL FACILITY FILES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT ELECTRONICALLY WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL VIA THEIR WEBSITE AT HTTPS://WWW.MASS.GOV/NONPROFIT-HOSPITAL-AND-HMO-COMMUNITY-BENEFITS. THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT IS ALSO PUBLISHED ON THE BAYSTATE HEALTH WEBSITE AT HTTPS://WWW.BAYSTATEHEALTH.ORG/ABOUT-US/COMMUNITY-PROGRAMS/COMMUNITY-BENEFITS/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT. THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT PROVIDES THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE PUBLIC VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE HOSPITAL PARTNERS WITH THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS HEALTH NEEDS, AS WELL AS DETAILS THE SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THE HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTS OR SUPPORTS TO ADDRESS SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | LINE 7A (CHARITY CARE) - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2, AGAINST TOTAL CHARITY CARE GROSS PATIENT CHARGES FROM THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.LINE 7B (UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID) - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE WAS DERIVED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM, WHICH TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ALL HOSPITAL INPATIENTS, OUTPATIENTS AND EMERGENCY ROOM PATIENTS FOR WHOM SERVICES WERE PROVIDED AND COVERED UNDER MEDICAID AND MEDICAID MANAGED CARE PLANS.LINE 7C (OTHER MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS) - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE WAS DERIVED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM, WHICH TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ALL HOSPITAL INPATIENTS, OUTPATIENTS AND EMERGENCY ROOM PATIENTS FOR WHOM SERVICES WERE PROVIDED AND COVERED UNDER OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.LINE 7E (COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES & BENEFIT OPERATIONS) - COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES CALCULATIONS ARE DERIVED FROM DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH THE HOSPITAL'S 2021 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE CARRIED OUT TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND EXTEND BEYOND PATIENT CARE, BEYOND THE WALLS OF THE HOSPITAL.COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS CALCULATIONS ARE DERIVED FROM COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ASSIGNED STAFF AND COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND/OR ASSETS ASSESSMENT, AS WELL AS OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNITY BENEFITS STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS.LINE 7F (HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION) - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE WAS DERIVED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S EXPENSE ACCOUNTING FOR THE FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY BEGINNING 7/1/2023.LINE 7G (SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS) - COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE WAS DERIVED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THE EXPENSE RELATES TO THE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PROGRAMS AND TO SPECIFIC OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS. THERE ARE NO COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PHYSICIAN CLINICS REPORTED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED THE PROVISIONS OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). THE UPDATE RESULTED IN CHANGES IN THE PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF REVENUE PRIMARILY RELATED TO UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. UNDER ASU 2014-09 THE ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS DUE FROM THESE PATIENTS ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS THAT ARE A DIRECT REDUCTION TO NET OPERATING REVENUES. IN 2024, THESE IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS, FORMERLY KNOWN AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, TOTALED $4,641,196 AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED IN PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGES IN PART 1, LINE 7, COLUMN (F). |
| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | THE HOSPITAL FACILITY IS COMMITTED TO CREATING HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT MANY STATE AND FEDERALLY MANDATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO ADDRESS ETHNIC, RACIAL, AND ECONOMIC HEALTH DISPARITIES AND INEQUITIES. THE HOSPITAL EMBRACES THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION OF "HEALTH" TO INCLUDE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, QUALITY EDUCATION, SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS, FOOD SECURITY, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND THE ARTS/CULTURE ALL ELEMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES TO THRIVE. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES MANY VALUABLE SERVICES, RESOURCES, PROGRAMS, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT - BEYOND THE WALLS OF THE HOSPITAL AND INTO THE COMMUNITIES AND HOMES OF THE PEOPLE IT SERVES; INCLUDING GRANTS AND SPONSORSHIP OF LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND THE INVOLVEMENT OF BAYSTATE HEALTH LEADERSHIP WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY BOARDS THAT ALIGN WITH ITS MISSION. FOR FY24, BFMC PAID DUES TO THE FRANKLIN COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,850. THE HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN THE CHAMBER AND LOCAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS AS IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST LOCAL EMPLOYERS IN THE SERVICE AREA. THE CHAMBER AND ITS MEMBERS COORDINATE ACTIVITIES TOWARD A COMMON PURPOSE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR THE REGION. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | THE COST OF BAD DEBTS REPORTED WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES (BASED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM INCLUDING ALL HOSPITAL INPATIENTS AND OUTPATIENTS) AGAINST TOTAL IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AS REFLECTED IN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. |
| PART III, LINE 3: | THE PORTION OF BAD DEBT THAT REASONABLY COULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE PERCENTAGE OF BAD DEBTS BY ZIP CODE (FOR WHICH THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR EACH ZIP CODE IS LESS THAN 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL) TO THE TOTAL COST OF BAD DEBT REPORTED IN PART III LINE 2. SINCE THIS PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS RESIDING IN AN AREA WHERE THE AVERAGE INCOME IS LESS THAN 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THESE PATIENTS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM HAD THEY APPLIED. FOR THIS REASON, WE BELIEVE THE AMOUNT, TOTALING $1,284, SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE IN PART I. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | AS NOTED ABOVE, THE ORGANIZATION ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE 2014-09 EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2018, WHICH CHANGED THE WAY ENTITIES REPORT AND DISCLOSE CERTAIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDING IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION (FORMERLY THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS). SEE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, FOOTNOTE #2 (SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES) ON PAGES 14 AND 15 UNDER THE CAPTION "NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S REPORTING OF ITS IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS (FORMERLY PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS). IF A PATIENT IS DETERMINED ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENT IS MADE TO THE PATIENT ACCOUNT BASED ON THEIR INCOME LEVEL.ONCE THE NECESSARY APPROVALS ARE OBTAINED,IT THEN FLOWS TO THEGENERAL LEDGER.PATIENTS APPLYING FOR A PROMPT PAYMENT DISCOUNT WILL HAVE THIS ALLOWANCE ENTERED AFTER AGREED UPON PAYMENT IS RECEIVED. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | LINE 6 - INCLUDED ALL MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS AS CALCULATED IN WORKSHEETS D-1 PART II (INPATIENT) AND D PART V (OUTPATIENT) OF THE HOSPITAL'S 2024 MEDICARE COST REPORT, NET OF MEDICARE COSTS REPORTED IN PART I, LINE 7.G, BASED ON MEDICARE COSTING PRINCIPLES. THERE IS NO SHORTFALL REPORTED ON LINE 7. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: THE PATIENT MAY HAVE REQUESTED ASSISTANCE UP FRONT AT TIME OF SERVICE WITH A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR OR THE PATIENT COULD HAVE ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE AFTER RECEIVING THEIR BILL BY CONTACTING OUR PATIENT BILLING SERVICES REPRESENTATIVES. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL ASSIST THE PATIENT IN APPLYING FOR THE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF ASSISTANCE BASED ON THEIR INCOME AND CIRCUMSTANCES. ONCE APPROVED FOR A STATE MEDICAID OR OTHER PROGRAM, ALL BILLING AND COLLECTION ACTIVITY WILL STOP (EXCEPT FOR REQUIRED CO-PAYMENTS OR DEDUCTIBLES). FOR ALL OTHER PATIENTS, OUR STATEMENTS CONTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. NOTICES CONCERNING AVAILABILITY FOR ASSISTANCE ARE ALSO POSTED AT PATIENT CARE SITES. |
| PART VI, LINE 2: | THE BAYSTATE BOARD CONVENES ITS COMMITTEES AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR (STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE) AND IS CHARGED WITH ADVOCATING FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT THE BOARD LEVEL AND THROUGHOUT THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND BROADER COMMUNITY; ALIGNING THE SYSTEM'S FOUR (4) HOSPITAL-SPECIFIC COMMUNITY BENEFITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES WITH THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S STRATEGIC PLAN; REVIEWING CHNA REPORTS; APPROVING OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS MISSION STATEMENT AND HEALTH PRIORITIES; REVIEWING IMPACTS OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES AND INVESTMENTS; AND ENSURING BAYSTATE HEALTH'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE MA ATTORNEY GENERAL AND IRS. AS OF THIS YEAR, THE OFFICE OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION IS NOW TASKED WITH PROVIDING UPDATES TO THE BAYSTATE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, BAYSTATE PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL, AND OTHER BAYSTATE LEADERSHIP TEAMS, AS REQUESTED. THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS ADVISORY COUNCIL (CBAC) CONTINUES TO BRING A COMMUNITY LENS AND FILTER FOR THE HOSPITAL'S HEALTH PRIORITIES.

PARTICIPANTS ON THE HOSPITAL CBAC REPRESENT CONSTITUENCIES AND COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. CBAC MEMBERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA AND USING THIS ANALYSIS AS A FOUNDATION FOR PROVIDING THE HOSPITAL WITH INPUT ON ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLANNING PROCESS.BAYSTATE HEALTH PATIENT & FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCIL (PFAC) MEMBERS PROVIDE VALUABLE INPUT IN ENHANCING CARE AT BAYSTATE HEALTH BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. INFORMATION FROM PFAC PROVIDES HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP WITH AN ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO IMPROVE QUALITY, PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, SERVICE EXCELLENCE, COMMUNICATIONS, PATIENT SAFETY, FACILITY DESIGN, PATIENT AND FAMILY EDUCATION, PATIENT AND FAMILY SATISFACTION, AND LOYALTY. PFAC IS MADE UP OF A DIVERSE GROUP OF PATIENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO REPRESENT THE COLLECTIVE VOICE OF THE PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AT BAYSTATE MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSTATE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, BAYSTATE FRANKLIN MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSTATE NOBLE HOSPITAL, BAYSTATE WING HOSPITAL, THE D'AMOUR CENTER FOR CANCER CARE, AND THE BEHEALTHY ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION (ACO) IN BAYSTATE MANAGED HEALTH CENTERS. BAYSTATE HOSPITALS ADDITIONALLY ENGAGE WITH OTHER REGIONAL AND COUNTY-BASED HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN NETWORKS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE HOSPITAL CAN ADVANCE LARGER, REGIONAL-BASED PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES. A BAYSTATE EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATES IN EACH OF THREE NETWORKS THAT CURRENTLY CONVENE IN OUR SERVICE AREAS TO ENSURE THE HOSPITAL IS STAYING APPRISED AND ENGAGED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS WORK. THE NETWORKS INCLUDE FRANKLIN COUNTY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN, HAMPDEN COUNTY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN, AND THE QUABOAG HILLS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN. |
| PART VI, LINE 3: | THE HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT PATIENTS IN ITS COMMUNITY HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES WITH FAIRNESS AND RESPECT WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PATIENTS' ABILITY TO PAY. THE HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES THAT THE COST OF NECESSARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES CAN IMPOSE A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL BURDEN ON PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED AND ACTS AFFIRMATIVELY TO LESSEN THAT BURDEN BY OFFERING ELIGIBLE PATIENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR FREE OR REDUCED COST SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL NOT ONLY OFFERS FREE AND REDUCED COST CARE AS REQUIRED BY LAW BUT HAS ALSO VOLUNTARILY ESTABLISHED DISCOUNT AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FREE AND REDUCED COST CARE TO MORE PATIENTS RESIDING WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL.THE HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS CAN BE BEWILDERING AND BURDENSOME FOR PATIENTS AND HAS IMPLEMENTED PROCEDURES TO MAKE THE PROCESS UNDERSTANDABLE FOR PATIENTS; TO INFORM PATIENTS ABOUT DISCOUNT AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS; AND TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO AGGRESSIVE COLLECTION ACTIVITIES. CONSISTENT WITH ITS PATIENT COMMITMENT, THE HOSPITAL IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND A BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY THAT REFLECTS ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS AND PATIENT BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCEDURES AND COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.THE HOSPITAL HAS FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AVAILABLE TO HELP PATIENTS APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT MAY COVER UNPAID HOSPITAL BILLS, INCLUDING A VARIETY OF FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS AS WELL AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE HOSPITAL. HOSPITAL FINANCIAL COUNSELORS HAVE ALL BEEN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED BY THE STATE AS CERTIFIED ACCOUNT COUNSELORS TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN APPLYING FOR AVAILABLE STATE PROGRAMS.
