ExplanationExplanation	IdentifierIdentifier
PART I, LINE 3C: INCOME STANDARD - THE FULL AMOUNT OF HOSPITAL CHARGES WILL BE DETERMINED TO BE CHARITY CARE FOR ANY PATIENT WHOSE GROSS FAMILY INCOME IS BELOW 200% OF THE CURRENT CSA NON-FARM POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES AS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER AND CONSISTENT WITH WAC 246-53-020. THERE IS A SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT FOR INCOME LEVELS BETWEEN 200% AND 300% OF THE CSA NON-FARM POVERTY GUIDELINES. ASSET STANDARD - NET WORTH OF ASSETS OF EXTRAORDINARY VALUE OR MAJOR NONESSENTIAL ASSETS ON WHICH A PATIENT COULD DRAW CASH THROUGH SELLING, MORTGAGING, OR BORROWING WILL BE A CONSIDERATION IN DETERMINING A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY. IN ADDITION, CATASTROPHIC MEDICAL EXPENSES CAN BE USED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART I, LINE 7: WE USE A COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS.
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 $ 16925944.
PART III, LINE 4: THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR POTENTIAL UNCOLLECTIBLE PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, WHEREBY SUCH RECEIVABLES ARE REDUCED TO THEIR ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE VALUE. THE HOSPITAL ESTIMATES THIS ALLOWANCE BASED ON THE AGING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR, AND OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS. THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTORS THAT CAN IMPACT THE COLLECTION TRENDS, SUCH AS CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY, WHICH IN TURN HAVE AN IMPACT ON UNEMPLOYMENT RATES AND THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS, THE INCREASED BURDEN OF COPAYMENTS TO BE MADE BY PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE, AND THE BUSINESS PRACTICES RELATED TO COLLECTION EFFORTS. THESE FACTORS CONTINUOUSLY CHANGE AND CAN HAVE AN IMPACT ON COLLECTION TRENDS AND THE ESTIMATION PROCESS.
PART III, LINE 8: STANDARD MEDICARE STEP-DOWN METHODOLOGY IS USED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT.
PART III, LINE 9B: IT IS THE POLICY OF NORTHWEST HOSPITAL TO EXPECT FULL PAYMENT ON SERVICES PROVIDED. FULL PAYMENT IS DUE FROM THE PATIENT UPON RECEIPT OF INITIAL BILLING FOR NON-INSURANCE COVERED BALANCES UNLESS ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH THE PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT.OPTIONS TO CLEAR AN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:THERE ARE 8 OPTIONS TO CLEAR THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:- CHARGE REVERSAL- CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENT- CHARITY- ADMINISTRATIVE/OTHER ADJUSTMENT- INSURANCE PAYMENT- PATIENT PAYMENT- BAD DEBT - NON-AGENCY/OTHER- BAD DEBT - COLLECTION AGENCYPATIENT FINANCIAL SCREENING: PATIENTS ARE SCREENED TO DETERMINE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DURING PRE-ADMISSION OR DURING ADMISSION/REGISTRATION. IT IS EXPECTED THAT PATIENTS PROVIDE HONEST AND COMPLETE DATA FROM WHICH STAFF ESTABLISH THE PATIENT PAYMENT PARTICIPATION. ONCE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY IS DETERMINED, STAFF IS OBLIGATED TO NOTIFY THE PATIENT PROMPTLY.FINANCIAL SCREENING INCLUDES SOME OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS: - COLLECTING FINANCIAL DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. - DETERMINING INSURANCE ELIGIBILITY AND BENEFITS. - COMPLETING A CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL FORM. - OBTAINING INSURANCE AUTHORIZATION NUMBERS AND REFERRALS. - ESTABLISHING A PLAN WITH THE PATIENT TO CLEAR ACCOUNT BALANCES. - COLLECTING DEPOSITS BASED ON DEDUCTIBLES AND CO-INSURANCE AMOUNTS AS ALLOWED BY THE PATIENT'S INSURANCE PLAN. - REVIEWING A PATIENT'S PAST CREDIT HISTORY OR REQUESTING A CREDIT BUREAU REPORT. COLLECTION OF DEPOSITS: BASED ON FINANCIAL SCREENING AND ESTIMATED SELF-PAY BALANCES, IT IS THE POLICY TO REQUEST DEPOSITS AND ESTIMATED INSURANCE CO-PAY BALANCES AS SOON AS THE AMOUNT CAN BE DETERMINED OR ALLOWED BY THE PATIENT'S INSURANCE PLAN. ACCOUNTS MAY BE SET UP FOR PATIENTS TO PRE-PAY FOR THEIR CARE. PAYMENTS MAY ALSO BE COLLECTED DURING THE PERIOD OF CARE OR AT DISCHARGE. IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM, DEPOSITS ARE TO BE REQUESTED ONLY AFTER MEDICAL SERVICES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. ALL PAYMENTS ARE TO BE REQUESTED WITH SENSITIVITY, CONSISTENT WITH ALL HOSPITAL POLICIES.NON-EMERGENT SERVICE IS NOT CONTINGENT UPON PAYMENT OF A DEPOSIT EXCEPT IN CASES OF POOR CREDIT HISTORY AND WHEN APPROVED BY A DIRECTOR OR A VICE PRESIDENT. COSMETIC OR NON-MEDICALLY REQUIRED SERVICES ARE TO BE PAID IN FULL IN ADVANCE OF SERVICE. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES MAY WARRANT AN EXCEPTION TO PAYMENT IN FULL BUT MUST BE APPROVED BY THE DIRECTOR OR VICE PRESIDENT. GENERAL COLLECTION FRAMEWORK:ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE DUE UPON RECEIPT OF FIRST BILLING WITH THE FOLLOWING SELF-PAY EXCEPTIONS: - PAYMENT PLAN ARRANGEMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THIS POLICY. - ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL SCREENING IS BEING DEVELOPED. - HOSPITAL BILLING ERRORS, DELAYS, OR UNRESOLVED DISPUTES. - UNPAID INSURANCE CLAIMS WHEN PATIENT BALANCES CANNOT EASILY BE DETERMINED.INSURANCE BILLING POLICY: NORTHWEST PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES BILLS STATE, FEDERAL AND CONTRACTED INSURANCE PLANS.

THE HOSPITAL TAKES ASSIGNMENT ON ALL MEDICARE CHARGES.PATIENT BALANCES: PATIENT PAY ACCOUNTS ARE PAYABLE UPON RECEIPT OF INITIAL BILLING, UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES (PFS). ACCOUNTS WAITING FOR INSURANCE PAYMENT BECOME THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY 60 DAYS AFTER INITIAL INSURANCE BILLING, UNLESS DICTATED BY AN INSURANCE CONTRACT, FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE, OR THIS PROVISION IS WAIVED BY A PFS MANAGER OR DIRECTOR. NWHMC DOES NOT HOLD THE PATIENT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL UNTIL PFS HAS RESOLVED ALL ISSUES WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, INCLUDING APPEALS OF DENIALS.QUALITY OF CARE AND BILLING ACCURACY ISSUES ARE TO BE RESOLVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND PRIOR TO ENFORCING COLLECTION STANDARDS.ALL PATIENTS WHO INDICATE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ARE SCREENED FOR CHARITY. CHARITY MAY BE GRANTED ANY TIME, EVEN AFTER COLLECTION AGENCY ASSIGNMENT AND UP UNTIL FILING OF LEGAL ACTION.

PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: THE HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED FROM ISSUES SUPPORTED BY PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA SOURCES GATHERED FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. EACH HEALTH NEED WAS CONFIRMED BY MORE THAN ONE INDICATOR OR DATA SOURCE (I.E., THE HEALTH NEED WAS SUGGESTED BY MORE THAN ONE SOURCE OF SECONDARY OR PRIMARY DATA).IN ADDITION, THE HEALTH NEEDS WERE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM (NUMBER OF PEOPLE PER 1,000, 10,000, OR 100,000 PERSONS); OR THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM (IMPACT AT INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY LEVELS). TO DETERMINE SIZE OR SERIOUSNESS OF A PROBLEM, THE HEALTH NEED INDICATORS IDENTIFIED IN THE SECONDARY DATA WERE MEASURED AGAINST BENCHMARK DATA, SPECIFICALLY WASHINGTON STATE RATES OR HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OBJECTIVES. INDICATORS RELATED TO THE HEALTH NEEDS THAT PERFORMED POORLY AGAINST THESE BENCHMARKS WERE CONSIDERED TO HAVE MET THE SIZE OR SERIOUSNESS CRITERIA.
