Form And Line Reference	FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	MERCY CARTHAGE, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE JASPER AND NEWTON COUNTIES COMMUNITY HEALTH COLLABORATIVE (CHC), WAS FORMED AS A COLLABORATIVE ENTITY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE PROVIDERS WITH A GENERAL DESIRE TO REDUCE DUPLICATION OF EFFORTS, THEREBY PROVIDING A MORE EFFICIENT USE OF LIMITED RESOURCES. ADDITIONALLY, IT WAS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED THAT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY WAS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY ONE ENTITY, BUT RATHER REQUIRED THE COORDINATED EFFORTS OF MANY ENTITIES - PUBLIC AND PRIVATE - TO REALIZE AN IMPROVED HEALTH STATUS OF A COMMUNITY. ON JANUARY 17, 2012, THE Mercy Carthage Community Roundtable WAS FORMED TO INVOLVE LOCAL BUSINESS PERSONS, EDUCATORS, CIVIC LEADERS, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF CURRENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, CURRENT HEALTH CARE GAPS, AND HOPES FOR THE FUTURE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. IT WAS ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE HOSPITAL NEEDED TO TEAM UP WITH THE ALLIANCE OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. THIS ORGANIZATION IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT ASSISTS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY OFFERING A VARIETY OF FREE OR LOW COST SERVICES. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 ANY DISPROPORTIONATE UNMET NEEDS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED BY MERCY CARTHAGE, AS WELL AS THOSE ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND FOCUS GROUPS ARE SUMMARIZED BY THE CHNA AND PRIORITIZED IN MERCY CARTHAGE'S COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: 1) CARE FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 2) PREVENTIVE CARE AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING THE ELDERLY POPULATION) 3) COMMUNITY COLLABORATION AND EDUCATION CONTINUED ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION WILL INCLUDE A REVIEW AND ROUNDTABLE OF INTERESTED GROUPS, FURTHER IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY ASSETS AND PROGRAMMING ALREADY IN PLACE. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22 To determine the maximum amounts that can be charged to fap-eligible individuals for emergency or other medically necessary care, the hospital facility uses amounts generally billed to individuals who have insurance covering such care.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PREPARED BY ITS ULTIMATE PARENT ENTITY, MERCY HEALTH (EIN: 43-1423050). FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F TOTAL EXPENSES FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) ARE $45,723,746. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS BAD DEBT EXPENSE (CHARGES) OF $3,523,226. EXPENSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F) ARE $42,200,520. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G THE ORGANIZATION DID NOT INCLUDE ANY PHYSICIAN CLINIC COSTS ON LINE 7G. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART II A FULL DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IS INCLUDED IN OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.MERCY.NET/COMMUNITY-BENEFITS . FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2 TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED WAS BASED ON DETAILED COST ACCOUNT, WHERE AVAILABLE. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS NOT AVAILABLE, COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE UTILIZED. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3 THE FILING ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $0. ALTHOUGH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUIRES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PATIENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE A PROCESS UNDER PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY (REFER TO DISCLOSURE FOR PART III, #9B) TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHARITY POLICY IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ALMOST ALL PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4 THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS AS FOLLOWS: "PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTION POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES." FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8 IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY THAT 100% OF ANY SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER. THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE IS CALCULATED BY THE GROSS CHARGES NET OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO LESS ANY PAYMENTS, DEDUCTIONS OR REIMBURSEMENTS USING THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS FORM 2552-96). FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B MERCY'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE COMMUNICATION AND/OR REVIEW OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS IT RELATES TO ANY SERVICE PROVIDED AT OUR FACILITIES BEFORE TURNING THE ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT OR TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOR NONPAYMENT. MERCY ACTIVELY SCRUBS ACCOUNTS FOR PAYOR PLAN COVERAGES INCLUDING MEDICAID. IN THE EVENT AN ACCOUNT IS TURNED TO COLLECTIONS, AND IS IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGES, OR NOW REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED BY THE AGENCY AND CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY IF THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO RETURN THE INFORMATION, THE ACCOUNT WILL QUALIFY FOR COLLECTIONS. MERCY UTILIZES THE EXPERIAN TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY QUALIFICATION PRIOR TO TURNING TO BAD DEBT; KNOWN AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY. MERCY WILL GRANT CHARITY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION WHEN A PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, MERCY UTILIZES THE SAME TOOL TO QUALIFY ACCOUNTS PER THE PRACTICE OF PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT FOR BALANCES IN EXCESS OF $6,500. ALL ACCOUNT BALANCES RELATING TO ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED BY THE HIGHER BALANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED AND FLAGGED FOR CHARITY IF THERE IS AN INABILITY TO PAY AFTER A RETURN FROM THE COLLECTION AGENCY AT APPROXIMATELY 120 DAYS. MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE LEGAL ACTION CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES. ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAY INCLUDE LIENS UPON REAL PROPERTY AND REASONABLE WAGE GARNISHMENTS. LEGAL ACTIONS WILL GENERALLY NOT INCLUDE BANK GARNISHMENTS, REPOSSESSION OF ASSETS OR FORECLOSURES TO ENSURE SATISFACTION OF A LIEN. MERCY HAS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE INITIATION OF LEGAL ACTION AND ANNUALLY REVIEWS COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES.
