Form990 Schedule H Part VI Form990ScheduleHPartVI (28 entries)

ExplanationExplanation	Return ReferenceReturnReference	IdentifierIdentifier
PART I, LINE 3C: IN ADDITION TO THE FPG THRESHOLDS NORTHSIDE'S POLICY ALLOWS FOR MEDICAL INDIGENCY AS WELL AS AN ASSET TEST FOR ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY. AN APPLICATION IS COMPLETED BY THE PATIENT AND/OR A SCORING METHODOLOGY IS GATHERED FROM A THIRD PARTY USING IT'S PROPRIETORY SOURCE TO DETERMINE PROPENSITY TO PAY. THESE TOOLS ARE USED TO DETERMINE SOMEONE'S QUALIFICATIONS FOR A CHARITY DISCOUNT OR FREE CARE IN ADDITION TO THE FPG THRESHOLDS STATED ABOVE.
PART I, LINE 6A: NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. PREPARES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. THE REPORT IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
PART I, LINE 7: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 7 IS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THE IRS SCHEDULE H WORKSHEET 2 INSTRUCTIONS.
PART I, L7 COL(F): BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE AMOUNT OF $22,534,484 HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM TOTAL EXPENSE.
PART II: BIANNUALLY, NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. ("NORTHSIDE") CONDUCTS A COMMUNITY-BASED PHYSICIAN NEED ANALYSIS FOR NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-CHEROKEE ("NHC") AND NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-FORSYTH ("NHF"). NHC AND NHF EACH ARE SOLE COUNTY PROVIDERS AND AS SUCH MUST ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATE MEDICAL SERVICES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. EACH HOSPITAL'S PHYSICIAN NEED ANALYSIS DEFINES A GEOGRAPHIC AREA COMPLIANT WITH THE FEDERAL PHYSICIAN SELF-REFERRAL LAW, IDENTIFIES NHC AND NHF MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERS WITH AN OFFICE IN THE DEFINED GEOGRAPHIC AREA, IDENTIFIES NON-NORTHSIDE PHYSICIANS WITH AN OFFICE IN THE DEFINED GEOGRAPHIC AREA, AND INCLUDES A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF EACH COMMUNITY'S PHYSICIAN NEED ("COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN NEED"). BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF THE ANALYSES, NORTHSIDE ENGAGES IN RECRUITMENT EFFORTS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT SUFFICIENT QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE AVAILABLE TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN NEED. THROUGH THESE ANALYSES, NORTHSIDE HAS IDENTIFIED THAT THE NEED FOR PHYSICIAN FTES IN SERVICE LINES SUCH AS PRIMARY CARE, GENERAL SURGERY, OBSTETRICAL SERVICES, AND NEUROLOGY HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED. BOTH NHC AND NHF ARE CONCENTRATING RECRUITMENT EFFORTS ON THESE NEEDED SPECIALTIES AND HAVE FACILITATED THE RECRUITMENT OF SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS INTO FORSYTH, DAWSON, PICKENS, AND CHEROKEE COUNTIES TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN NEED. SEE PART VI, LINE 2, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON NORTHSIDE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS.
PART III, LINE 4: "NORTHSIDE PROVIDES FOR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT COULD BECOME UNCOLLECTIBLE IN THE FUTURE BY ESTABLISHING AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS TO REDUCE THE CARRYING VALUE OF SUCH RECEIVABLES TO THEIR ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE VALUE. NORTHSIDE ESTIMATES THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED COLLECTIONS, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AGINGS, TRENDS IN REIMBURSEMENT, GENERAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS." THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 WAS A COST TO CHARGE RATIO APPLIED TO BAD DEBT CHARGES WRITTEN OFF, NET OF RECOVERIES. NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE TO THE COMMUNITY, REGARDLESS OF PATIENTS' ABILITY TO PAY. THE FORGONE CHARGES ARE AT THE EXPENSE OF NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL.
PART III, LINE 8: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 WAS A COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2013 MEDICARE COST REPORT APPLIED TO MEDICARE CHARGES. THE MEDICARE PROGRAM PAYS AT AMOUNTS WHICH ARE LESS THAN THE COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES. ANY COST NOT REIMBURSED BY MEDICARE IS BORNE BY NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL WHICH EASES THE BURDEN TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF HEALTHCARE UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM.
PART III, LINE 9B: FINANCIAL COUNSELORS IDENTIFY PATIENTS DURING THE PRE-SCREENING PROCESS THAT APPEAR TO BE EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND NOTIFY THEM OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT AN ACCOUNT IS UNCOLLECTIBLE DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS BECAUSE OF THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL STATUS, THE PATIENT IS CONTACTED TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE PATIENTS ARE DETERMINED ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, COLLECTION EFFORTS CEASE AND THE ACCOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF TO INDIGENT/CHARITY CARE RELIEVING THE PATIENT OF LIABILITY FOR THE DEBT. THE RESULT OF BEING APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ALSO PREVENTS THE PATIENT FROM ANY POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THEIR CREDIT.THE COLLECTION POLICY IS SPECIFIC TO THE TIMING AND PROTOCOLS FOLLOWED IN THE DEBT COLLECTION PROCESS. HOWEVER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY SUPERCEDES THE DEBT COLLECTION POLICY IN ANY SITUATION WHERE A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART VI, LINE 2: THE NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. ("NORTHSIDE") SYSTEM COMPRISES THREE HOSPITAL FACILITIES: (1) NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-ATLANTA, (2) NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-CHEROKEE AND (3) NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-FORSYTH. AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2013, NORTHSIDE ADOPTED A CHNA FOR EACH OF ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES. NORTHSIDE UTILIZED SIMILAR RESOURCES, PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES IN CONDUCTING ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES' CHNAS; ADDITIONALLY, THE CHNAS WERE CONDUCTED SIMULTANEOUSLY.NORTHSIDE DEVELOPED A STANDARDIZED PROCESS FOR CONDUCTING EACH HOSPITAL'S CHNA.

PART VI, LINE 3: NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. ("NORTHSIDE") INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AS WELL AS UNDER THE NORTHSIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM POLICY. BI-LINGUAL SIGNAGE IS POSTED IN THE WAITING AREAS OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS ALL OUT-PATIENT LOCATIONS OF ALL OF NORTHSIDE'S HOSPITALS, WHICH PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HOW PATIENTS CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT NORTHSIDE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. PATIENTS PARTICIPATE IN A FINANCIAL DISCUSSION REGARDING OUT-OF-POCKET PAYMENT LIABILITY EITHER PRIOR TO SERVICES RENDERED OR AT THE POINT OF SERVICE RENDERED. IF A PATIENT INDICATES A POSSIBLE NEED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A COPY OF NORTHSIDE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED TO THE PATIENT AND THE PATIENT WILL BE REFERRED TO A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL WORK WITH THE PATIENT TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT BENEFITS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND IF NOT, WILL DISCUSS PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS WITH THE PATIENT. MOREOVER, ALL PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH AND MUST SIGN TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF HOSPITAL CHARGES PRIOR TO DISCHARGE/SERVICES BEING RENDERED. ADDITIONALLY, INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO OBTAIN A COPY OF NORTHSIDE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS EXPLAINED IN THE "ABOUT YOUR BILLING" BROCHURE, WHICH EACH PATIENT RECEIVES UPON ADMISSION. IN THE EVENT A PATIENT IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO DISCHARGE, NORTHSIDE'S BILLING INVOICES DIRECT PATIENTS TO NORTHSIDE'S WEBSITE TO DOWNLOAD NORTHSIDE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION. NORTHSIDE ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH MANY COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED SERVICES BASED ON THESE PROGRAMS' FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CRITERIA. FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES WHO ARE REFERRED THROUGH AND SATISFY COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM CRITERIA, NORTHSIDE WILL PROVIDE THESE PATIENTS WITH FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE WITHOUT REQUIRING THESE PATIENTS TO COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THIS PROCESS ALLOWS A PATIENT TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO THE POINT OF SERVICE, THEREBY RELIEVING THEM FROM THE STRESS AND BURDEN OF THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF THEIR CARE, AND ALLOWING THEM TO FOCUS ON THEIR RECOVERY.
PART VI, LINE 4: NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-ATLANTA ("NHA")BROADLY, NHA PRIMARILY SERVES PORTIONS OF CHEROKEE, COBB, DEKALB, FORSYTH, FULTON, AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. GIVEN THAT NHA ONLY SERVES PORTIONS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COUNTIES, FOR ITS FY2013-FY2015 CHNA, THE HOSPITAL DEFINED ITS "COMMUNITY" ON A ZIP-CODE LEVEL BASIS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND DEFINE A CONTIGUOUS AREA THAT REPRESENTS 75% OF ITS TOTAL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT VOLUME. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO HIGH-PRIORITY POPULATIONS (E.G., INDIGENT, MINORITY, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED OR THOSE WITH CHRONIC DISEASES) WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE DEFINITION.AN ESTIMATED 2.1 MILLION PEOPLE RESIDED IN NHA'S COMMUNITY. THE GENDER RATIO WAS BALANCED, ESSENTIALLY 50/50, AND THE MEDIAN AGE WAS 35; EQUIVALENT WITH THE MEDIAN AGE FOR GEORGIA'S TOTAL POPULATION. FEMALES 15-44 REPRESENTED 21% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION, THE SAME AS GEORGIA, AND THE 65+ AGE GROUP REPRESENTED 9% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 11% FOR THE STATE.NHA'S COMMUNITY PREDOMINATELY IS CAUCASIAN (65%) WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS (17%) AND ASIANS (7%) COMPRISING THE TWO LARGEST MINORITY POPULATIONS. A LARGER PERCENTAGE OF NHA'S COMMUNITY IS CAUCASIAN AND ASIAN COMPARED TO THE RACE BREAKDOWN FOR THE STATE. IN ADDITION, A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF NHA'S COMMUNITY IS HISPANIC OR LATINO WHEN COMPARED TO GEORGIA'S STATEWIDE RATE: 15% OF NHA'S COMMUNITY IS HISPANIC OR LATINO COMPARED TO 9% FOR GEORGIA.NHA'S COMMUNITY IS RELATIVELY AFFLUENT IN TERMS OF THE HIGHEST EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT ACHIEVED, HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING VALUES. THE PERCENTAGE OF NHA'S COMMUNITY WITH BACHELORS (31%) OR MASTERS (11%) DEGREES IS NEARLY DOUBLE THE STATE-WIDE RATE. GIVEN THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION WITH ADVANCED DEGREES, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING VALUES IN NHA'S COMMUNITY EXCEEDS STATE-WIDE RATES AS WELL. THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION IN NHA'S COMMUNITY HAD HOUSEHOLD INCOMES OF $100,000 OR MORE COMPARED TO $25,000-$49,999 FOR GEORGIA. FOR HOUSING UNIT VALUE, NEARLY 55% OF HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY WERE VALUED AT $200,000 OR MORE COMPARED TO JUST 30% FOR GEORGIA.NHA'S COMMUNITY HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE WORKING-AGED POPULATION (I.E., AGE 16-AND-OLDER) EMPLOYED THAN STATE WIDE. IN FACT, NEARLY 68% OF THE COMMUNITY'S POPULATION AGE 16-AND-OLDER IS EMPLOYED IN NON-MILITARY POSITIONS COMPARED TO 59% FOR GEORGIA. THE COMMUNITY ALSO ENJOYS LOWER CIVILIAN UNEMPLOYMENT (5% VS. 6%) AND HAS A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS "NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE" (27% VS. 34%); NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE INCLUDES ALL PERSONS AGE 16-AND-OLDER WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED OR LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT.CONSISTENT WITH THE HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT AND FINANCIAL STATUS DEMOGRAPHICS OF NHA'S COMMUNITY, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE RATE OF POVERTY IN THE COMMUNITY IS LOWER THAN THE STATE-WIDE RATE: AN ESTIMATED 35,600 FAMILIES, OR 7% OF NHA'S COMMUNITY, WERE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL COMPARED TO NEARLY 12% OF GEORGIA'S FAMILIES. NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-CHEROKEE ("NHC")LOCATED IN CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA, NHC IS THE SOLE-COUNTY PROVIDER AND PRIMARILY SERVES THE RESIDENTS OF CHEROKEE AND PICKENS COUNTIES. IN FACT, THESE TWO COUNTIES REPRESENT 84% OF TOTAL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT VOLUME. THUS, FOR ITS FY2013-FY2015 CHNA, NHC DEFINED ITS "COMMUNITY" BASED ON THESE TWO COUNTIES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO HIGH-PRIORITY POPULATIONS (E.G., INDIGENT, MINORITY, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED OR THOSE WITH CHRONIC DISEASES) WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE DEFINITION.CHEROKEE COUNTY IS THE SEVENTH LARGEST COUNTY IN GEORGIA AND IS PROJECTED TO BE THE STATE'S FIFTH LARGEST COUNTY BY 2020. AN ESTIMATED 250,000 PEOPLE RESIDED IN NHC'S COMMUNITY. THE GENDER RATIO WAS BALANCED, ESSENTIALLY 50/50, AND THE MEDIAN AGE WAS 36; SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE MEDIAN AGE FOR GEORGIA'S TOTAL POPULATION. FEMALES 15-44 REPRESENTED 22% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 21% OF GEORGIA'S AND THE 65+ AGE GROUP REPRESENTED 10% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 11% FOR THE STATE.NHC'S COMMUNITY PREDOMINATELY IS CAUCASIAN WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS COMPRISING THE LARGEST MINORITY POPULATION. A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER PERCENTAGE OF NHC'S COMMUNITY (86%) IS CAUCASIAN AS COMPARED TO THE STATE (61%). SIX PERCENT (6%) OF THE COMMUNITY'S POPULATION IS BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN COMPARED TO THIRTY PERCENT (30%) FOR THE STATE. LASTLY, THE COMMUNITY'S PERCENTAGE OF HISPANIC OR LATINO POPULATION IS THE SAME AS GEORGIA'S STATEWIDE RATE OF 9%.THE PERCENTAGE OF NHC'S COMMUNITY WITH A BACHELORS DEGREE (23%) IS HIGHER THAN THE STATE-WIDE RATE (18%) AND THE PERCENTAGE OF NHC'S COMMUNITY THAT HAS OBTAINED MASTERS DEGREES (6%) IS FAIRLY SIMILAR THE STATE OF GEORGIA (7%). GIVEN THAT THE EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT OF THE POPULATION IS FAIRLY ALIGNED WITH THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING VALUES IN NHC'S COMMUNITY ARE ALIGNED WITH THE STATE-WIDE RATES AS WELL. THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION IN NHC'S COMMUNITY HAD HOUSEHOLD INCOMES BETWEEN $25,000 AND $49,000; CONSISTENT WITH GEORGIA. FOR HOUSING UNIT VALUE, NEARLY 52% OF HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY WERE VALUED BETWEEN $100,000 AND $199,999 COMPARED TO 43% FOR GEORGIA.NHC'S COMMUNITY HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE WORKING-AGED POPULATION (I.E., AGE 16-AND-OLDER) EMPLOYED THAN STATE WIDE. IN FACT, 65% OF THE COMMUNITY'S POPULATION AGE 16-AND-OLDER IS EMPLOYED IN NON-MILITARY POSITIONS COMPARED TO 59% FOR GEORGIA. THE COMMUNITY ALSO ENJOYS LOWER CIVILIAN UNEMPLOYMENT (5% VS. 6%) AND HAS A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS "NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE"(30% VS. 34%); NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE INCLUDES ALL PERSONS 16-AND-OLDER WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED OR LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT.WHILE FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT (47%) OF THE COMMUNITY'S HOUSEHOLDS ARE MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS (IDENTICAL TO GEORGIA) ONLY FOURTEEN PERCENT (14%) OF THE COMMUNITY'S HOUSEHOLDS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN $25,000 COMPARED TO TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT (24%) OF GEORGIA'S HOUSEHOLDS. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE RATE OF POVERTY IN THE COMMUNITY IS LOWER THAN THE STATE-WIDE RATE: AN ESTIMATED 4,000 FAMILIES, OR 6% OF NHC'S COMMUNITY, WERE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL COMPARED TO NEARLY 12% OF GEORGIA'S FAMILIES. THIS DESCRIPTION IS CONTINUED LATER IN SCHEDULE H.
