SchH_P01_S00_L07	Schedule H, Part I, Line 7	South Shore Hospital uses the cost to charge ratio for calculating amounts inthe table for Line 7. The cost to charge ratio is total patient care costs divided by total patient care charges per Worksheet S-10, line 1 of the Medicare Cost Report. Bad debt is not included in any amounts reported in the table.
SchH_P01_S00_L072f	Schedule H, Part I, Line 7, Column f	The Hospital does not include bad debt in its Statement of Functional Expenses, Form 990, Part IX; not applicable.
SchH_P01_S00_L07g	Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g	Not applicable.
SchH_P02_S00_L00	Schedule H, Part II	Community building activities are undertaken to meet the needs of the residents of southeastern Massachusetts. Programs such as the courtesy coach and MD access and referral line help reduce health disparities by providing access to care. South Shore Hospital's emergency preparedness, infection control, clinical and medical workforce development programs insure the needs of the community are met. The Hospital provides services such as pastoral care to patients and their families.
SchH_P03_S0A_L04	Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 4	Uncompensated care expense in the statements of operations and changes in net assets represents the Hospital's payments to the statewide Health Safety Net (HSN), net of recoveries from HSN for reimbursable bad debts.
SchH_P03_S0B_L08	Schedule H, Part III, Section B, Line 8	South Shore Hospital provides a valuable community benefit by treating all individuals within the Hospital's service area, regardless of ability to pay. One in 8 people in our area lives near or below the poverty level. These individuals would have to travel out of our area or possible forgo medical treatment without the services the Hospital provides. The Hospital uses the Medicare 2552 Report for costs.
SchH_P03_S0C_L09b	Schedule H, Part III, Section C, Line 9b	The Hospital does not bill the following categories of patients (except that the Hospital will bill patients for any applicable co-pays or deductibles required by a particular assistance program): patients enrolled in MassHealth, patients receiving governmental benefits under the Emergency Aid to the Elderly and Disabled Children program and in the Healthy Start Program. Also, participants in the Children's Medical Security Plan whose family income is equal to or less than 400% of the FPL are exempt from collection action. Low income patients, determined pursuant to 114.6 CMR 13.04(2), are exempt from collection action for any eligible services, except for co-payments and deductibles that are not eligible services under 114.6 CMR 12.03(6)(b). Low income patients, determined pursuant to 114.6 CMR 12.03(3)(b), within 201-400% of the FPL are exempt from collection action for the portion of the provider bill that exceeds the deductible and may be billed for co-payments and deductibles as set forth in 114.6 CMR 13.04. SSH may bill low income patients for services other than eligible services provided at the request of the patient and for which the patient has agreed to be responsible if providers receive the patient's written consent to be billed for the services. The Hospital will not undertake collection action against an individual that has qualified for medical hardship with respect to the amount of the bill that exceeds the medical hardship contribution. SSH will not continue collection or billings on a patient who is a member of bankruptcy proceedings except to secure its rights as a creditor in the appropriate order. The Hospital may initiate billing for a patient who claims to be eligible for assistance programs but fails to provide proof of eligibility. Upon receipt of satisfactory proof of eligibility, the Hospital shall cease all collection activities. The Hospital, or its agents, will not charge interest on an overdue balance for a low income patient or for patients who are low income based on the Hospital's own internal financial assistance program.
SchH_P05_S0A_L00	Schedule H, Part V, Section A	Other medical services include: physician offices, outpatient surgical centers, radiology/mammography offices, wound care center, ambulatory cancer center and center for orthopedics, spine and sports medicine. Some of these services are provided at satellite locations, all of which are included in the Hospital's license.
SchH_P05_S0B_L03	Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3	The Hospital relies on input from individuals and organizations within the community to develop its Needs Assessment. The Hospital is an active supporter of, and participant in, three Community Health Network Areas (CHNAs)--Blue Hills Community Health Alliance (CHNA 20), the Greater Brockton Community Health Network Area (CHNA 22) and the South Shore Community Partners in Prevention (CHNA 23). The CHNAs collected information by meeting with groups and individuals and also conducting surveys. The Hospital utilized data gathered by the CHNAs in its Needs Assessment. Our Patient and Family Advisory Council brings together patients and their families, South Shore Hospital administrators and healthcare professionals to develop new services and programs and improve the overall patient experience. The group meets monthly and issues an annual report of their findings and accomplishments. The Hospital also relies on the expertise of various physicians, nurses and other clinical and non-clinical professionals within our facility. Hospital colleague advisors, in groups and as individuals, have been instrumental in the development of the Needs Assessments. Finally, the Hospital gets input from community advisors. Local school, government, law enforcement and safety officials, social service and health and welfare agencies make up this group. While many of these agencies participate in the CHNAs, Hospital personnel also meet with representatives of various groups/agencies individually to seek their input in formulating the Needs Assessment.
SchH_P05_S0B_L07	Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7	Fifteen community health and social issues were identified during the assessment process. While the Hospital offers programs that focus on adolescent mental health, specifically youth suicide prevention, it does not directly address mental health issues affecting adults and the community at large due to the scope of the problem and limited resources. Violence/safety was another area identified that the Hospital cannot fully address as it is beyond our scope as a healthcare provider. Lack of sleep is an identified area of need that the Hospital can address in a limited way via its sleep clinic. Oral health in the community will not be addressed due to lack of expertise and supporting clinical programs at the Hospital. The Hospital has identified dementia as a community health issue. Although the Hospital has various wellness in vulnerable population programs focusing on seniors, it does not plan to offer specific programs related to dementia at this time.
SchH_P05_S0B_L14	Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 14	The Hospital makes its financial assistance policy available to the community, in its entirety, on its website. It is also available upon request. The Hospital summarizes its policy throughout its facilities: in the emergency department and waiting rooms, the admissions office, financial counselors' office and the Business Office/Patient Accounting locations. Patients without insurance are directed to a financial counselor who will provide them with information about our financial assistance policy as well as resources available to them through MassHealth or the Commonwealth's Health Safety Net. Notification of financial assistance and counseling availability is printed on patient billing invoices.
SchH_P05_S0B_L18	Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 18	Individuals referred to South Shore Hospital may meet with a financial counselor to learn about our financial assistance policy as part of the pre-admission process. If the Hospital is unable to notify a patient of its financial assistance policy during the admission process, a financial counselor may meet with the patient during his hospital stay. Counselors assist unisured individuals identified during the notification/eligibility process in applying for insurance through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's Health Connector portal. Counselors work with underinsured, medically disabled individuals to find additional resources to help pay their medical bills.
SchH_P05_S0B_L20	Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 20	FAP-eligible individuals are billed at 70% of charges.
SchH_P06_S00_L02	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2	The Hospital's most recent Community Health Needs Assessment was completed in September 2013. South Shore Hospital utilizes information from many sources to determine the needs of individuals in the communities it serves. The Hospital reviews and analyzes health trends in our patient population. The Hospital also reviews data from the Town of Weymouth, Massachusetts Community Health Information Profile, American Hospital Association, Massachusetts Hospital Association, Massachusetts Health Data Consortium, Federal Centers for Disease Control, Trust for America's Health, Kaiser Family Foundation, Truven Health Analytics and Healthy Communities Institute. South Shore Hospital is involved with three Community Health Network Areas (CHNAs), serving 34 communities south of Boston, to address public health priorities. CHNAs were formed in 1992 by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to encourage public, non-profit and private sectors to work together to build healthier communities. South Shore Hospital is working with these CHNAs to conduct community heath assessments. Data collected helps determine unmet needs in the region. Our Community Health Needs Assessment can be found at: http://www.southshorehospital.org/community-health-assessments.
SchH_P06_S00_L03	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3	South Shore Hospital prominently displays its financial assistance information in public areas throughout the Hospital. Information is provided to individuals during the intake process. The Hospital provides its credit and collection policy on its website. This document explains how individuals may be eligible for assistance under federal and state programs, as well as the Hospital's reduced fee and charity care policies. In addition, the Hospital's insurance counselors can explain various options and will help anyone who wants assistance with health insurance enrollment under the Commonwealth's Health Care Reform Law. Counselors are available to assist patients during the intake process and are also available to the public six day a week. In addition to helping patients understand eligibility for reduced or free care, counselors are available to assist individuals in our service area in obtaining health insurance, whether they are patients of the Hospital or not.
SchH_P06_S00_L04	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4	South Shore Hospital serves an area south of Boston with a population of approximately 700,000. The majority of patients identify themselves as Caucasian (94%), followed by Black/African American (1.8%), Other (1.8%) and Asian (.9%). After English, the next most common languages that patients reported speaking as a primary language are Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese and Arabic.
SchH_P06_S00_L05	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5	South Shore Hospital is committed to providing community building activities that promote the health and wellbeing of all the people in our area. The Hospital provides pastoral care to patients and their families. People living within the Hospital's service area may receive help in finding affordable health insurance and are assisted in finding medical care through our MD access and referral programs. The Hospital eliminates barriers to care by providing a courtesy coach to any patient needing transportation to or from its facilities. We have made a commitment to physician recruitment in specialties that meet community needs, now and in the future, and to providing our clinicians with continuing medical education. South Shore Hospital has invested in emergency preparedness training and equipment to serve the community in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. The Hospital has partnered with towns in its service area to treat underserved and at-risk populations. The Hospital makes its Community Benefits Report and current year Community Benefits Plan available through mailings and on its website at http://www.southshorehospital.org/communitybenefits. For more information about South Shore Hospital's active role in meeting the needs of our community please visit our website: http://www.southshorehospital.org.
SchH_P06_S00_L06	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 6	South Shore Hospital is not part of an affiliated health care system.
SchH_P06_S00_L07	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 7	South Shore Hospital files its Community Benefits report in Massachusetts.
