Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I, Line 3c:	The patient/guarantor, husband or wife, and dependents may not have property in excess of: 1) Primary residence is exempt for patients under 200% federal poverty guidelines. For those over 200% equity allowance is $75,000 (financial statements and tax bills are required). Income producing land (e.g., dairy farm) is evaluated individually on a case-by-case basis. 2) Cash assets in excess of $4,000 at the time of application. Specifically excluded from consideration are IRA and Pension Plans and Irrevocable Burial Trust Funds. 3) Total net assets cannot exceed 800% of federal poverty guidelines. This includes all assets including cash assets above.
Part I, Line 7:	The costing methodology used on form 990 is based on a cost to charge ratio which is developed based on the Organization's total operating expense, excluding the provision for bad debts divided by gross patient service revenues. This cost to charge ratio is applied against the total charges that are written off during the fiscal year to estimate the cost of the care of patients that have accounts that are deemed to be bad debts to the organization. The organization also provides discounts to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients under its charitable care policy. These amounts are included in the contractual adjustments on the financial statements and are not included in the ratio as described above and approved by the IRS for use on form 990. If considered, these additional write-off amounts to uninsured or underinsured accounts would also increase the estimated bad debt expense amount associated with these uncollectible accounts to the organization.
Part I, Line 7g:	The above costs of Subsidized Health Services are related to the Breastfeeding Support, Palliative Care, and Lakes Family Clinic. Aspirus Riverview Hospital & Clinics, Inc. utilized an internal departmental financial statement to report the cost and direct offsetting revenue that calculates the community benefit expense. The Breastfeeding Support reported costs of $99,330. The Palliative Care reported costs of $307,984 with offsetting revenue of $41,782. The Lakes Family Clinic reported costs of $1,061,090 with offsetting revenue of $1,009,160.
Part I, Line 7, Column (f):	The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 2,176,535.
Part II, Community Building Activities:	While there is a growing argument in the United States about what constitutes a non-profit hospital's "community benefit", these efforts continue to be a work in progress. Aspirus Riverview Hospital & Clinics, Inc. provides significant charity care and other community benefits as defined by the IRS and in addition, the organization believes that it provides a critically important community benefit which is not quantified. Aspirus Riverview Hospital & Clinics, Inc., like most community hospitals, was created and is maintained in order to provide care locally which without the hospital, would not be available locally. Beyond inpatient hospitalizations, the organization provides local access to many health services including: Cardiology, Cancer center, clinic services, dental services, diagnostic imaging, birthing center, laboratory services, respiratory care, sleep lab, womens services, surgical services, and rehabilitation services.
Part III, Line 2:	The costing methodology used on form 990 is based on a cost to charge ratio which is developed based on the organizations total operating expenses, excluding the provision for bad debts divided by gross patient service revenues. This cost to charge ratio is applied against various revenue and expense categories to compute the estimated community benefit expense under IRS suggested costing methods for the form 990.
Part III, Line 4:	Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts, primarily uninsured patients and amounts patients are personally responsible for, through a charge to operations and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of historical collection likelihood and the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after the organization has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Sometimes patients are unable to complete the required financial assistance application and are screened through the presumptive eligibility process but may be transferred to the collection agency regardless of all these efforts.
Part III, Line 8:	The AMOUNT OF MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT.WHETHER THERE IS A SHORTFALL OR SURPLUS ON SERVICES TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, THESE PATIENTS, WHO ARE TYPICALLY ELDERLY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, ARE AN UNDERSERVED POPULATION WHO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. WITHOUT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS PROVIDING MEDICARE PATIENT SERVICES, THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID (CMS) WOULD HAVE THE BURDEN OF DIRECTLY PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE TOTAL MEDICARE REVENUE SHOWN ON SCHEDULE H IS BASED ON THE IRS 990 INSTRUCTIONS AND INCLUDES ONLY THE CHARGES FROM MEDICARE PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES THAT ARE REPORTED ON THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE AMOUNT LISTED FOR MEDICARE REVENUE DOES NOT INCLUDE PHYSICIAN SERVICES FOR THE COVERAGE OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT ASPIRUS RIVERVIEW HOSPITAL, PHYSICIAN SERVICES PROVIDED AT THE OUTLYING CLINIC LOCATIONS, AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF LAB SERVICES WHICH ARE REIMBURSED BY THE MEDICARE PROGRAM UNDER ANOTHER METHODOLOGY. PHYSICIAN COVERAGE AND OUTPATIENT LAB SERVICES ARE REIMBURSED PRIMARILY ON A FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSEMENT AT RATES THAT ARE OFTEN BELOW THE COSTS OF CARING FOR PATIENTS. EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE PATIENTS ARE VITAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY AND AS SUCH THESE COSTS AND SHORTFALLS SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT THAT ASPIRUS RIVERVIEW HOSPITAL PROVIDES TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THE COSTING METHOD USED ABOVE FOR IRS 990 COMPLIANCE REPORTING IS ALSO BASED ON THE OVERALL AVERAGE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AND DOES NOT CONSIDER MEDICARE NON-ALLOWABLE EXPENSES AS IT IS BASED ON TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSE DIVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE (IGNORING CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS ON FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSED ITEMS AND NON-ALLOWABLE MEDICARE EXPENSES AS NOTED ABOVE). THIS RATIO IS THEN MULTIPLIED BY TOTAL MEDICARE SERVICES, WHICH ARE REIMBURSED BASED ON MEDICARE REGULATIONS. INCLUDING THE FEE SCHEDULE ITEMS, SUCH AS PHYSICIAN SERVICES, WOULD PRODUCE A LARGER LOSS OR SHORTFALL ON THESE SERVICES TO BE REPORTED ON THE FORM 990 IN ANY GIVEN YEAR.
Part III, Line 9b:	Upon a patient's approval for financial assistance, this is loaded as an insurance coverage to the patient's account with an effective and termination date to assure capturing all charges for the patient for adjustment in a workqueue prior to any remaining balance being moved to patient liability and therefore preventing undiscounted services from being billed to a patient.
Part VI, Line 2:	Representatives from Aspirus Riverview Hospital & Clinics, Inc. actively participate in Healthy People Wood County (HPWC). The purpose of HPWC is to establish priorities and recommend strategies to enhance the quality of life, health status, and the environment in Wood County. In order to accomplish this, multiple partners work together to analyze health data, quality of life indicators and the community's perception of health. In March 2015, Aspirus Riverview began collaborating with the Wood County Public Health Department, Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital and Marshfield Clinic on a comprehensive health needs assessment. Health needs are being determined and prioritized through community surveys, stakeholder focus groups and recent health data.
Part VI, Line 3:	All patient statements provide information regarding the Aspirus Financial Aid Program. This includes a telephone number to request in-person assistance, information about the program as well as to request an application. The statement also provides the web address which directs patients to our financial aid policy (FAP) as well as the applicaton and plain language summary. Letters from Central Billing Office staff inform patients that Aspirus has a FAP. The FAP is offered at the time of registration annually to all patients. Financial Counselors offer the FAP to patients during collection calls. Aspirus has Certified Application Counselors that are available to assist with Marketplace enrollment as well as Medical Assistance applications. Cardon Outreach is used to review all patients that are inpatient or present to the ED to assist with Medical Assistance applications.
Part VI, Line 4:	Aspirus Riverview Hospital and Clincs, Inc. owns and operates the following entities: (1) Aspirus Riverview Hospital; (2) the outpatient Aspirus Riverview Therapies; (3) Aspirus Riverview Clinics, This service includes clinics in Wisconsin Rapids, Nekoosa, and the Rome-Lakes area (4) the Aspirus UW Cancer Center; and (5) Aspirus Riverview Dental Clinic. Aspirus Riverview established this clinic in 2009 to serve residents of South Wood County. Aspirus Riverview Dental Clinic in Wisconsin Rapids is open to patients who have Medicaid or Badger Care insurance coverage. This insurance is not typically accepted by independent dental clinics. Approximately 3,087 persons benefited from this program in Fiscal Year 2017. While many Aspirus Riverview patients come from Wood County, an increasing number are coming to us from surrounding counties - specifically those along the Interstate 39 corridor: Marathon, Portage, Waupaca, Adams, Juneau, Waushara, Marquette, Columbia, and Dane. For the UW Cancer Center-Riverview in 2017, over 19% of all patients came from these same counties-not including our "home"county of Wood. In the Aspirus Riverview "service area" there are several federally designated "medically underserved areas." They are Wood County (the central part between Marshfield and Wisc. Rapids), Portage county (part), Adams County (all), Waushara County (all), Marquette County (all), Juneau County (the Northern half), Marathon County (part), and Clark County (all). There are scattered Indian tribal lands in Wood County, Juneau County, and Adams County (all Ho Chunk). These would be considered "medically underserved populations" per federal designation. Other hospitals in our service area include: Ministry - St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, Ministry - St. Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point, Moundview Memorial Hospital in Friendship, and Hess Memorial Hospital in Mauston.
Part VI, Line 5:	As a community-based organization, Aspirus RIverview Hospital & Clinics, Inc. provides services and educational opportunities either free of charge or at a nominal fee in an attempt to provide these opportunities to those members of the communities who otherwise may not be able to afford or have local access to these programs. These efforts are provided through a variety of educational speaker forums, support groups, health education forums, and other educational opportunities for students.
