THESE INTERVIEWS CAPTURED COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS ON PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES, SERVICE GAPS, AND BARRIERS TO ACCESS, AS WELL AS SUGGESTED STRATEGIC INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. IN ALL, NEARLY 100 PEOPLE WERE INTERVIEWED, INCLUDING ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLINICAL STAFF FROM STAMFORD HOSPITAL, REPRESENTATIVES FROM LOCAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICERS, OTHER PUBLIC AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS, MEMBERS OF THE CLERGY, AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. FORM 990, Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 22d THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT CHARGED TO FAP ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS IS CALCULATED BASED ON FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. INDIVIDUAL FAMILY INCOME LEVELS ARE COMPARED TO FPG AND TOTAL CHARGES ARE REDUCED FROM 100%-60% BASED ON level of income. PART I, LINE 7 THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY WAS UTILIZED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT INCLUDED IN THE TABLE. THE CALCULATION OF THIS RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGE. PART III, LINE 2: THE COST OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS ESTIMATED BASED ON THE BAD DEBT PROVISION AT CHARGE, APPLIED TO THE RATIO OF TOTAL PATIENT CARE EXPENSES TO TOTAL CHARGES FOR ALL SERVICES RENDERED. ANY PAYMENTS OR DISCOUNTS ARE EXCLUDED FROM BAD DEBT EXPENSE. PART III, LINE 4: BAD DEBT EXPENSE AND TEXT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE HOSPITAL 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, TSH ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR 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), TSH 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 DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. PART III, LINE 8B MEDICARE COSTING METHODOLOGY THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED FOLLOWS THE METHODOLOGY OF THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. PART III, LINE 8A TREATMENT OF MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO THE EXTENT THERE IS A MEDICARE 'SHORTFALL', THE HOSPITAL HAS PROVIDED SERVICES AND IS REIMBURSED LESS THAN THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES.
