PART I, LN 7 COL(F): THE ORGANIZATION'S PATIENT BAD DEBT EXPENSE PER THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WAS $15,688,975 FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024.

THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO OTHER LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE MISSIONS ARE TO IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH BY ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH ISSUES BY FOCUSING ON THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SUCH AS POVERTY, SAFE HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION, LACK OF EDUCATION, RACISM, AND OTHER SOCIAL DISPARITIES. ADDITIONALLY, HOSPITAL TEAMMATES PROVIDE COMMUNITY SUPPORT BY SERVING ON LOCAL BOARDS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS OR PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY COALITIONS OR TASKFORCES. PART III, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION USED WORKSHEET 2 OF THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPUTE A COST TO CHARGE RATIO, WHICH IS USED TO CALCULATE BAD DEBT AT COST. BAD DEBT HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE COMPUTATION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON PART I, LINE 7. PART III, LINE 4: FOOTNOTE 2 (PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE) ON PAGE 12 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DESCRIBES THE TREATMENT OF BAD DEBT. PART III, LINE 8: THE HOSPITAL USES AN OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATION BASED ON AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BUT REMOVES COST ASSOCIATED WITH BAD DEBT, GME, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, COMMUNITY BUILDING, AND CHARITY CARE SO AS NOT TO COUNT THOSE COSTS TWICE. PART III, LINE 9B: THE HOSPITAL MAKES A REASONABLE EFFORT TO DETERMINE AN INDIVIDUAL'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BEFORE ENGAGING IN ANY COLLECTION ACTIONS.ALL COLLECTION ACTIONS WILL BE SUSPENDED IF THE INDIVIDUAL SUBMITS A COMPLETED FAP APPLICATION DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD, OR IF THE INDIVIDUAL SUBMITS AN INCOMPLETE APPLICATION DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD THAT IS SUBSEQUENTLY COMPLETED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AFTER THE HOSPITAL REQUESTS FURTHER INFORMATION. IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS DETERMINED NOT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A FULL DISCOUNT UNDER THE FAP, ANY COLLECTION ACTIVITIES WILL BE RESUMED AS TO THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE OWED. IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE FAP, APPROPRIATE MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO REFUND ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND REVERSE OR MODIFY COLLECTION ACTIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE NEW BALANCE OWED AFTER APPLYING THE APPLICABLE FAP DISCOUNTS. PART VI, LINE 2: THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S MOST RECENT CHNA WAS BASED ON A SET OF BEST PRACTICES FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS WITH THE PURPOSE OF IDENTIFYING REGIONAL PRIORITY AREAS TO FOCUS ON FOR CY2024 TO CY2026. THE PROCESS WAS DESIGNED TO RELY ON EXISTING PUBLIC DATA, DIRECTLY ENGAGING COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH, OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS; AS WELL AS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS SUCH AS FAITH NETWORKS RELEVANT TO THE SOCIAL FACTORS UNDERLYING PATTERNS OF ACCESS. THE ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED IN THREE STAGES: 1) DATA REVIEW OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCES, 2) SETTING PRIORITIES, AND 3) COMMUNITY ASSET INVENTORY. THE DATA REVIEW AND PRIORITY SETTING PHASES BEGAN WITH THE COMPILATION OF EXISTING HEALTH-RELATED DATA. STAKEHOLDERS REVIEWED MULTIPLE DATA SETS INCLUDING LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, NORTH CAROLINA INDICATORS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT, INTERNAL DISEASE REGISTRIES, COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, AND OTHERS. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK IN THE FORM OF RESIDENT SURVEYS AND INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT REPRESENT THE UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WERE ALSO CONSIDERED. ONCE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED, AN INTERNAL STEERING COMMITTEE AND SENIOR LEADERSHIP REVIEWED A SET OF CRITERIA TO DEVELOP THE PRIORITY RANKINGS. EACH IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED WAS REVIEWED AND ASSIGNED A VALUE WITH THE GREATEST WEIGHT PLACED UPON HEALTH DISPARITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEED, THE BURDEN OF THE HEALTH NEED, THE FEASIBILITY OF INTERVENTIONS, AND THE IMPORTANCE THE COMMUNITY PLACES ON ADDRESSING THE HEALTH NEED. FINALLY, THE HOSPITAL FACILITY DEVELOPED AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO IDENTIFY THE MEANS THROUGH WHICH IT PLANS TO ADDRESS THOSE PRIORITIZED NEEDS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARITABLE MISSION AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS FOR THE NEXT THREE CALENDAR YEARS. BEYOND PROGRAMS ADDRESSED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, THE HOSPITAL FACILITY WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS MANY OF THE PRIORITIES BY PROVIDING CARE TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PART VI, LINE 3: THE ORGANIZATION USES A VARIETY OF MEANS TO EDUCATE AND INFORM PATIENTS OF THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. INFORMATION REGARDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CAN BE FOUND ON THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S WEBSITE, IN PAMPHLETS, CONSPICUOUSLY DISPLAYED SIGNAGE, PATIENT BILL STATEMENTS, AND FROM TEAMMATES DURING CONVERSATIONS CONCERNING A PATIENT'S LIABILITY FOR SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL FACILITY EMPLOYS A PRE-SERVICE FINANCIAL CLEARANCE PROCESS THAT SCREENS PATIENTS PRIOR TO SERVICE DELIVERY FOR EXISTING OR AVAILABLE PAYER SOURCES AS A MEANS OF AVOIDING BAD DEBT AND INAPPROPRIATE BILLING TO PATIENTS WITHOUT THE MEANS TO PAY. IF A PAYER SOURCE IS IDENTIFIED, TEAMMATES WILL ASSIST THE PATIENT WITH ENROLLMENT.
