PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) - EXCLUSIONS FROM PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE BAD DEBT IS A DEDUCTION FROM REVENUE AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN TOTAL EXPENSES. PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION CHARITY CARE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS UTILIZE A COST TO CHARGE RATIO IN DETERMINING THE COST OF THE ACTUAL CHARITY CARE WRITE-OFF. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS CALCULATED USING WORKSHEET 2: RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, LOCATED IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS.

LHG PARTICIPATES IN THE COMMUNITY DISASTER TRAINING HELD ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY SEE PART III, LINE 4 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM THE LHG AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: CHARITY CARE: LH (THE HOSPITAL) ACCEPTS ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. A PATIENT IS CLASSIFIED AS A CHARITY PATIENT BY REFERENCE TO CERTAIN ESTABLISHED POLICIES. ESSENTIALLY, THESE POLICIES DEFINE CHARITY CARE AS THOSE SERVICES FOR WHICH LIMITED OR NO PAYMENT IS ANTICIPATED. IN ASSESSING A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY, THE HOSPITAL UTILIZES GENERALLY RECOGNIZED POVERTY INCOME LEVELS. CHARITY CARE IS MEASURED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S ESTABLISHED RATES. THE HOSPITAL UTILIZES ANNUAL FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND ADJUSTS ACCOUNTS FOR THOSE WHOSE INCOME IS 175% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL, TAKING FAMILY SIZE INTO CONSIDERATION. THE COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED IN PROVIDING THESE SERVICES ARE INCLUDED IN OPERATING EXPENSES. REVENUE FOR SERVICES RENDERED TO INDIVIDUALS FROM WHO PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AND ULTIMATELY NOT RECEIVED IS WRITTEN OFF AND INCLUDED AS PART OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 2 AND 3 FOLLOW THE WORKSHEETS PROVIDED IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS AND UTILIZES COSTS TO CHARGE INFORMATION DERIVED DIRECTLY OFF THE ANNUAL COST REPORTS. LINCOLNHEALTH DOES NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC FOOTNOTE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES "BAD DEBT EXPENSE". LH REPORTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, LHG ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, LHG ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, LHG RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. LH BELIEVES THAT BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. LH BELIEVES THAT THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE LH HAS A CLEAR MISSION COMMITMENT TO SERVING ELDERLY PATIENTS AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES THROUGH THE PROVISION OF SPECIFIC SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS DEVELOPED TO HELP IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THESE PATIENTS. IF THESE CRITICAL SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS WERE NOT PROVIDED BY LH, THEY WOULD BECOME THE OBLIGATION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAVE THEIR ACCOUNT BALANCE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY ONCE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN APPROVED. MONTHLY PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE ESTABLISHED BY THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY BY CONTACTING THE PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AS A TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL, LH PROVIDES NECESSARY PATIENT CARE REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES. PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT SEE THE ATTACHED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ORGANIZATION ASSESSES THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE ASSESSED BY: UTILIZING THE MAINE STATE HEALTH PLAN AND ASSESSMENT, COMMUNITY FORUMS, INVOLVEMENT IN COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH STATUS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH MAINEHEALTH (OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.) MAINEHEALTH ALSO PARTICIPATES IN VARIOUS INITIATIVES TO HELP SUPPORT AND PROVIDE UPDATES TO COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT PLANNING.

ALONG WITH THE INTERNAL ASSESSMENTS, MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS ALSO REVIEW AND ACT ON RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED BY LOCAL AND STATE PARTNERS, SUCH AS THE MAINE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (MCDC). ALL HOSPITALS WITHIN THE MAINEHEALTH SYSTEM HAVE CONDUCTED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (CHNA) TO MEET FEDERAL REGULATIONS THAT WERE CREATED AS PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. IN LATE 2013, CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REPORTS WERE PRODUCED BY EACH MAINEHEALTH MEMBER HOSPITAL, IN COLLABORATION WITH MAINEHEALTH. THESE DETAILED REPORTS COVERED THE TIME PERIOD OF 2013-2015 AND WERE FORMALLY ADOPTED BY EACH MEMBER ORGANIZATION BOARD FOR SUBMISSION WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE FY13 990 FILINGS. IN 2015, A COLLABORATIVE CALLED THE MAINE SHARED HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS LAUNCHED TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK AND APPROACH FOR A SHARED CHNA THAT CAN: I) ADDRESS COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING NEEDS OF HOSPITALS, II) SUPPORT STATE AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH ACCREDITATION EFFORTS, AND III) PROVIDE VALUABLE POPULATION HEALTH ASSESSMENT DATA FOR VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS CONCERNED WITH THE HEALTH OF MAINE'S COMMUNITIES AND CITIZENS. MAINEHEALTH, EASTERN MAINE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, CENTRAL MAINE HEALTHCARE AND THE MAINE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION ARE CONTRIBUTING FINANCIALS SUPPORT TO THE STUDY AND REPORTS. IN 2016, MAINE SHARED CHNA PRODUCED COUNTY-LEVEL CHNA REPORTS AND HELPED COORDINATE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES THAT ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN THE PRIORITIZATION OF THE HEALTH ISSUES BY HOSPITALS, STATE/LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND OTHER PARTNERS. IN COLLABORATION WITH MAINEHEALTH, EACH MEMBER HOSPITAL PRODUCED A DETAILED CHNA REPORT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN COVERING THE TIME PERIOD OF 2016-2018.
