PART I, LINE 3C:	GREAT PLAINS HEALTH (GPH) MAY MAKE A DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILTY AT ANY STAGE OF THE PROCESS, INCLUDING PAST ASSIGNMENT TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. EACH PATIENT REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE ASKED TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL QUESTIONNAIRE AND TO PROVIDE COPIES OF DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING THEIR MOST RECENT FEDERAL INCOME TAX FORM, COPIES OF RECENT PAY STUBS, BANK STATEMENTS AND OTHER APPROPRIATE INDICATORS OF INCOME. A REFERRAL FOR FINANCIAL ASSITANCE MAY BE RECOMMENDED BY THE PATIENT, FAMILY MEMBER, PHYSICIAN OR HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS AND PROVIDED BASED ON INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES. FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL GENERALLY BE PROVIDED WHEN GROSS HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. A SLIDING FEE SCALE DISCOUNT WILL BE APPLIED FOR HOUSEHOLD INCOME UP TO 250% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. THE INCOME LEVELS WILL BE UPDATED ANNUALLY BASED UPON THE MOST CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES.
PART I, LINE 6A:	GPH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PREPARED BY THE STAFF OF GPH.
PART I, LINE 7:	GPH UTILIZED AN OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO (TOTAL EXPENSES - BAD DEBT) / GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE = PERCENTAGE OF COST TO CHARGE.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES REPORTED ON LINE 7G INCLUDE TRAINING FOR EMS, OUTREACH, LIFE SUPPORT OUTSIDE, AND ER, TRAUMA, AND LIFE SUPPORT FOR HOSPITAL EDUCATION.
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 $ 10,346,469.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	GPH HAS MANY ACTIVITES TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: RECRUITMENT OF PHYSICIANS TO MEET NEED, SPONSORING HEALTH FAIR, SPORTS CLINICS AND SUPPORT GROUPS, PHYSICIANS SERVING ON COMMUNITY BOARDS, EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND MEDICATION ASSISTANCE. THE DONATED SERVICES AND FUNDS HELP FURTHER THE MISSION AND GOALS OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH, IN TURN, HELP IMPROVE OVERALL HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED.
PART III, LINE 2:	IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE 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 UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND ESTIMATES A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE ACCOUNTS THAT WILL TRANSITION TO SELF-PAY PATIENTS BASED ON HISTORICAL ANALYSIS. THE ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE OF THOSE TRANSITION ACCOUNTS ARE ADDED TO RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL). THE ORGANIZATION 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 (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS ADOPTED A POLICY RELATIVE TO SELF-PAY DISCOUNTS, WHEREBY CHARGES AND SUBSEQUENT BILLINGS WERE REDUCED TO APPROXIMATE REIMBURSEMENT LEVELS RECEIVED FROM GOVERNMENTAL THIRD-PARTY PAYORS.PAYMENT FOR SERVICES IS EXPECTED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE BILLING. ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED PAST DUE ARE SENT TO COLLECTION AGENCIES WHEN INTERNAL COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. ANY AMOUNTS DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE ARE WRITTEN OFF ON A MONTHLY BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT CHARGE INTEREST ON OUTSTANDING BALANCES OWED.
PART III, LINE 3:	THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE HEALTHCARE SERVICES THEY RECEIVE. PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE ARE GIVEN A PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE USING POVERTY GUIDELINES. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE ORGANIZATION NOT TO PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE. ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT REPORT THESE AMOUNTS IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE OR IN THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CHARITY CARE BY AGGREGATING THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS, INCLUDING SALARIES, BENEFITS, SUPPLIES, AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES, BASED ON THE OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR GP HEALTH AND NPNPG. THE COSTS OF CARING FOR CHARITY CARE PATIENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 WERE APPROXIMATELY $3,480,000 AND $2,607,000, RESPECTIVELY.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE BAD DEBT EXPENSES INCLUDES CALCULATING ON A MONTHLY BASIS THE TOTAL ESTIMATED AMOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL WRITE OFFS.THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN A SPECIFIC FOOTNOTE DESCRIBING BAD DEBT. FOOTNOTES TITLED "PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET," "NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, AND "CHARITY CARE" CAN BE FOUND ON PAGES 9 AND 11 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS BASED ON THE INFORMATION FROM THE COST REPORT. THESE COSTS ARE MEDICARE REIMBURSABLE COSTS, NOT ALL COSTS. THESE MEDICARE REIMBURSABLE COSTS SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO THE EXTENT THAT MEDICARE REVENUES DO NOT COVER THE COSTS. WE DO NOT USE ANY NEGOTIATION TOOL WITH MEDICARE FOR OUR RATES; THE RATES THAT WE ARE PAID ARE MANDATED. HENCE, THIS DOES NOT GIVE US THE ABILITY AS A PROVIDER TO RECEIVE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO COVER THE MEDICARE COSTS. AS A FACILITY WE ARE WORKING TOWARD COSTS SAVINGS.
PART III, LINE 9B:	IF THE COLLECTION AGENCY LEARNS INFORMATION THAT INDICATES THAT THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE GPH CHARITY CARE POLICY, THEN THE COLLECTION AGENCY SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR AND CEASE ANY FURTHER COLLECTION ACTIVITY UNTIL GPH DETERMINES THE PATIENT ELIGIBILITY.
PART VI, LINE 2:	GPH USES STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESSES, MARKET STUDIES, OPEN FORUMS WITH PHYSICIANS, COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS, CUSTOMER SERVICE SURVEYS AND COMMUNITY SURVEYS TO ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES GPH SERVES. PATIENT CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED BY GPH ARE BASED ON GPH'S MISSION, VISION, VALUES AND STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR. PATIENT CARE AND ANCILLARY SERVICES ARE ORGANIZED IN RESPONSE TO PATIENT NEEDS AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. THE GPH STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUSES ON ACHIEVING A CONTINUUM OF CARE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED. THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS IS COMPLETED APPROXIMATELY EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	FOR PATIENTS THAT GPH DETERMINES ARE FINANCIALLY INDIGENT, THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR WILL BE NOTIFIED AND ASSISTED BY THE GPH PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES IN APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF NO SOURCE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE REVIEWED FOR A CHARITY ALLOWANCE ACCORDING TO THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY POLICY (ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY 8210-0008). CASE MANAGERS ARE AVAILABLE AT GPH TO ASSIST PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH THE FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL STRESS THAT ACCOMPANY ILLNESS AND HOSPITALIZATION. CASE MANAGERS HAVE A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF SOCIAL WORK THEORIES AND ARE ABLE TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH CONTACTING COMMUNITY AGENCIES THAT CAN ASSIST THEM IN RECOVERY AND FINANCIAL NEEDS. AN OUTSIDE AGENCY IS USED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS IN DETERMINING THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAID. ONE-ON-ONE FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS AVAILABLE TO EVERY PATIENT, UPON REQUEST.
