EMERGING ISSUES INCLUDE THE USE OF E-CIGARETTES AS A METHOD TO QUIT, THE TREND OF YOUTH STARTING WITH E-CIGARETTES, AND WE HAVE FOUND AN INCREASE IN COMMUNITY INTEREST IN CESSATION CLASSES THAT WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN THE PAST.

USING ACTUAL COSTS VS. COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS MENTIONED ABOVE). PART I, LN 7 COL(F): PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE IS CALCULATED BY USING THE DENOMINATOR OF THE TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $5,049,192(PER AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS).

PART III, LINE 3: TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS IS APPLIED TO THE CALCULATED BAD DEBT EXPENSE. FOR 2017, THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL AID PROVIDED IS 16.85%. APPLYING THAT PERCENTAGE AGAINST THE CALCULATED BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN PART III LINE 2 RESULTS IN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTED TO FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBLE PATIENTS. PART III, LINE 4: SEE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PAGES 11 THROUGH 13 FOR CURRENT FOOTNOTE LANGUAGE THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT. PART III, LINE 6; COSTING METHODOLOGY AND SOURCE:2017 ICR EXHIBIT 46 AND TENTATIVE MEDICARE SETTLEMENT RATES PART III, LINE 8: FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM THE SHORTFALL IN QUESTION 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS FAIL TO COVER THE COSTS OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. DESPITE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY, EXPENSES FOR TECHNOLOGY, PHARMACEUTICAL, AND SALARY AND BENEFITS CONTINUE TO ESCALATE. THE HOSPITALS BAD DEBT EXPENSES IS IMPACTED BY THE SOCIOECONOMICS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR ONEIDA COUNTY IS LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE AND OVER 16% OF THE POPULATION LIVES BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. ALTHOUGH PEOPLE MAY HAVE INSURANCE, THEIR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS ARE HIGH BECAUSE EMPLOYERS HAVE RAISED THEIR DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-PAYMENTS, OR REDUCED WHAT THEIR PLANS COVER.TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED LEARN MORE ABOUT POSSIBLE OPTIONS, THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM INSURERS WHICH OFFER FREE OR LOW-COST HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH NEW YORK STATE'S CHILD HEALTH PLUS AND FAMILY HEALTH PLUS, ALONG WITH SPACE FOR REPRESENTATIVES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND ENROLL ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS.IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL HAS PARTNERED WITH THE MOHAWK VALLEY PERINATAL NETWORK, WHOSE FACILITATED ENROLLER CAN ASSIST INDIVIDUALS IN APPLYING FOR COVERAGE FROM CHILD HEALTH PLUS, FAMILY HEALTH PLUS, AND MEDICAID. IN ADDITION TO HELPING PEOPLE OBTAIN INSURANCE COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND WORKS WITH PATIENTS TO SET UP AFFORDABLE PAYMENT PLANS.FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURES ARE LOCATED IN THE HOSPITAL'S WAITING AREAS AND APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. RMH DISCOUNTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS UP TO 100% DEPENDING UPON FAMILY INCOME IN COMPARISON TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. DISCOUNTS ARE BASED UPON THE BLUE CROSS RATE, OUR HIGHEST VOLUME PAYER. ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OFFERS DISCOUNTS TO THE UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED WHOSE INCOME IS UP TO 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL.BECAUSE LACK OF AWARENESS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BARRIERS, RMH PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABLE PROGRAMS AT HEALTH FAIRS AND OTHER OUTREACH ACTIVITIES.CHANGES (ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL) IMPACTING COMMUNITY HEALTH, PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE, AND ACCESS TO SERVICES: REIMBURSEMENTS THAT FAIL TO KEEP PACE WITH RISING EXPENSES AND THE CONTINUED GROWTH IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE ARE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES THAT NEW YORK'S HOSPITALS FACE, INCLUDING RMH. OTHER CHALLENGES INCLUDE THE ESCALATION OF COSTS FOR DRUGS DUE TO INFLATION AND HAVING TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION SHORTAGES, SERVICES AND BAD DEBT, AND INVESTMENTS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH MANDATES. HERE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF OUR CHALLENGES:UNCOMPENSATED CARE: THE COST OF FREE SERVICES PROVIDED TO OUR COMMUNITY REMAINS HIGH WITH THE RISE IN HIGH-DEDUCTIBLE PLANS AND THE APPROXIMATELY 7% OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED. IN 2017, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE TOTALED $6.6 MILLION. PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES: ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN RECRUITING SEVERAL NEW PHYSICIANS TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT AT A GREAT COST. TODAY'S PHYSICIAN WANTS TO BE EMPLOYED SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO BEAR THE RISK OF OPENING A NEW PRACTICE OR MANAGE THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF MEDICINE. ALTHOUGH THEY PROVIDE CRITICAL ACCESS TO CARE, THESE PRACTICES STRUGGLE TO BREAK EVEN. LACK OF PRIMARY CARE: PATIENTS WHO DON'T HAVE INSURANCE OR WHO ARE COVERED BY MEDICAID OFTEN DON'T HAVE A REGULAR PHYSICIAN FOR PREVENTATIVE CARE OR TO MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, THEY USE THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AS THEIR PRIMARY CARE OR DELAY CARE UNTIL THEIR CONDITION IS MORE CRITICAL AND MORE EXPENSIVE TO TREAT. SINCE ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S NEW EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OPENED, THE NUMBER OF PATIENT VISITS HAS STEADILY INCREASED FROM 19,000 IN 2006 TO 31,042 IN 2017. MANY PHYSICIANS DON'T ACCEPT MEDICAID PATIENTS BECAUSE OF LOW REIMBURSEMENT RATES. IN ADDITION, SENIORS MAY SOON FACE THE SAME ACCESS PROBLEMS IF CUTS TO PHYSICIAN MEDICARE RATES ARE IMPLEMENTED. PHARMACEUTICALS: THE HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO SEE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DRUG COSTS DUE TO INFLATION AND MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION SHORTAGES. IN MANY CASES, THESE SHORTAGES FORCE US TO TURN TO ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS, WHO CHARGE A PREMIUM PRICE. INTERPRETER SERVICES: AS OUR POPULATION BECOMES MORE DIVERSE WITH BURMESE AND BOSNIAN REFUGEES AND SPANISH SPEAKING RESIDENTS, THERE IS A GREATER DEMAND FOR INTERPRETER SERVICES. DDSO POPULATION: THE HIGH CONCENTRATION OF DDSO CLIENTS IN ONEIDA COUNTY AND ROME PLACES A UNIQUE BURDEN ON ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. WHEN DDSO CLIENTS REQUIRE HOSPITALIZATION, THEIR CASES ARE OFTEN VERY COMPLEX AND THEIR LENGTH OF STAY IS NEARLY TWICE AS LONG AS THE AVERAGE PATIENT. AS A RESULT, THE HOSPITAL IS ONCE AGAIN FACED WITH ABSORBING THE FINANCIAL LOSS OF CARING FOR THESE PATIENTS. PROGRAM VIABILITY: AS A RESULT OF THESE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CHALLENGES, RMH CONTINUALLY EVALUATES THE VIABILITY OF SOME OF ITS SERVICES. AS A PART OF THE EVALUATION, RMH ASSESSES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED AND AVAILABILITY OF OTHER SERVICES TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY NEED, IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE HOSPITAL.TRANSITION TO VALUE BASED PAYMENTS: TO PREPARE FOR NEW PAYMENT MODELS THAT REWARD QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY, PROVIDERS NEED TO MAKE INVESTMENTS IN SOPHISTICATED ANALYTICS TO MANAGE RISK AND CARE MANAGERS TO BETTER COORDINATE CARE. PART VI, LINE 2: LINE 2 - ALWAYS ASSESSING NEEDS:IN ADDITION TO THE FORMAL CHNA REPORTED IN PART V, SECTION B, ROME MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CONTINUALLY ASSESSES THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS THROUGH ONGOING OBSERVATION AND PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY COMMITTEES AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT A BROAD SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY INPUT THROUGH ITS WEBSITE AND PATIENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS. INSIGHTS ARE ALSO GATHERED FROM MONITORING SOCIAL MEDIA. PART VI, LINE 3: LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE:TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS ARE AWARE OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED THE FOLLOWING WAYS:-THE PATIENT GUIDE, WHICH IS GIVEN TO ALL INPATIENTS AND OBSERVATION PATIENTS, INCLUDES THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY OF THE POLICY.-A PAPER COPY OF THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY IS OFFERED TO ALL OUTPATIENTS.-SIGNAGE IS LOCATED AT ALL INTAKE AREAS INCLUDING OFF-SITE CLINICS/LOCATIONS AND WITHIN THE BUSINESS OFFICE.
