ExplanationExplanation	IdentifierIdentifier
PART I, LINE 3C: A COMBINATION OF INCOME AND ASSETS TEST IS UTILIZED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE. POINTS ARE ASSIGNED BASED ON INCOME AS A PERCENTAGE OF FPG AND NET ASSETS OWNED WITH POINTS DEDUCTED FOR ONGOING MEDICAL EXPENSES SUCH AS DRUGS. PATIENTS WITH THE FEWEST POINTS RECEIVE THE LARGEST DISCOUNT. 0-1 POINTS RECEIVE 100% DISCOUNT ON BILLS WHILE REMAINING DISCOUNTS RANGE FROM 10-90% DEPENDING ON POINT TOTALS AND DOLLAR AMOUNT OF CHARGES.
PART I, LINE 6A: PART 1, LINE 6A: OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS CONTAINED IN A REPORT PREPARED BY AVERA HEALTH, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. IT IS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND REQUESTED MAILING, AND IS FILED WITH THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION.
PART I, LINE 7: CHARITY CARE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID WAS CONVERTED TO COST USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO BASED ON PRIOR YEAR MEDICARE COST REPORT. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID USES A COST TO CHARGE RATIO THAT INCLUDES OTHER ACTIVITIES BEYOND HOSPITAL INPATIENT. THE AMOUNTS ON LINES 7E-I REPRESENT EXPENSES REPORTED IN THE GENERAL LEDGER AND COMPILED USING CBISA SOFTWARE.
PART I, L7 COL(F): BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $3,959,751 IS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) BUT EXCLUDED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THIS PERCENTAGE.
PART III, LINE 4: BAD DEBT IS REPORTED AT CHARGES AS RECORDED BY THE ORGANIZATION. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED NET OF DISCOUNTS AND CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES. A PAYMENT ON AN ACCOUNT PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN OFF REDUCES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. NOTE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENT:PAYMENTS OF PATIENT AND RESIDENT RECEIVABLES ARE ALLOCATED TO THE SPECIFIC CLAIMS IDENTIFIED ON THE REMITTANCE ADVICE OR, IF UNSPECIFIED, ARE APPLIED TO THE EARLIEST UNPAID CLAIM.THE CARRYING AMOUNT OF PATIENT AND RESIDENT RECEIVABLES IS REDUCED BY A VALUATION ALLOWANCE THAT REFLECTS MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATE OF AMOUNTS THAT WILL NOT BE COLLECTED FROM PATIENTS, RESIDENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. MANAGEMENT REVIEWS PATIENT AND RESIDENT RECEIVABLES BY PAYOR CLASS AND APPLIES PERCENTAGES TO DETERMINE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS THAT WILL NOT BE COLLECTED FROM THIRD PARTIES UNDER CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS AND AMOUNTS THAT WILL NOT BE COLLECTED FROM PATIENTS AND RESIDENTS DUE TO BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT CONSIDERS HISTORICAL WRITE OFF AND RECOVERY INFORMATION IN DETERMINING THE ESTIMATED BAD DEBT PROVISION. MANAGEMENT ALSO REVIEWS ACCOUNTS TO DETERMINE IF CLASSIFICATION AS CHARITY CARE IS APPROPRIATE.
PART III, LINE 8: PART III, LINES 5, 6, AND 7: THE MEDICARE REVENUES RECEIVED (LINE 5), ALLOWABLE COSTS (LINE 6), AND THE RESULTING SHORTFALL (LINE 7) DOES NOT INCLUDE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S EXPENSES. THESE LINES REQUIRE USE OF THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AS PREPARED BY THE REQUIRED GUIDELINES WHICH DISALLOWS NUMEROUS COSTS OF HOSPITALS, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ARE PART OF AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM SUCH AS SACRED HEART HEALTH SERVICES. IN THESE CASES THE ENTITY MUST FILE A HOME OFFICE COST REPORT WHICH "STEPS DOWN" OVERHEAD TO NON-COST REPORT ENTITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY TO ACTUAL ALLOWABLE SHARE AND ESSENTIALLY REMOVING THE COSTS FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST REPORT ENTIRELY. EXAMPLES OF NON-COST REPORT ENTITIES OPERATED BY SACRED HEART HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDE CLINICS, HOME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT STORE, LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES, AND OTHER HEALTH CARE RELATED BUSINESSES. THERE ARE ALSO COSTS COMPLETELY DISALLOWED BY COST REPORT RULES SUCH AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE, MARKETING, CRNA'S, AND INTEREST EXPENSE. IN ADDITION TO THESE DISALLOWED COSTS WITHIN THE HOSPITAL, SACRED HEART HEALTH SERVICES OPERATES CLINICS, HOME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT STORE, LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES, AND OTHER HEALTH CARE RELATED BUSINESSES WHICH DO NOT FILE A COST REPORT. INCLUDING THE MEDICARE PERCENTAGE OF DISALLOWED COSTS, ENTITIES WHICH DON'T FILE A COST REPORT BUT NEVERTHELESS CARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS, AND THE IMPACT OF THE HOME OFFICE COST REPORT, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS $6,720,726 AS OPPOSED TO A SHORTFALL OF $3,458,852.MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE ARE BASED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE MEDICARE COST REPORT IS COMPLETED BASED ON THE RULES AND REGULATIONS SET FORTH BY CMS. SACRED HEART HEALTH SERVICES FOLLOWS THE CHA GUIDELINES IN REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND THEREFORE ANY MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS EXCLUDED FROM OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. HOWEVER, MEDICARE IS THE ORGANIZATION'S LARGEST PAYER AND PATIENTS WITH MEDICARE COVERAGE ARE ACCEPTED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT IS REALIZED FROM PROVIDING THE SERVICES. THIS BASIS THEREFORE MEANS PROVIDING MEDICARE SERVICES PROMOTES ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHICH IS A KEY ADVANTAGE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
PART III, LINE 9B: IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY FOR LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED PATIENTS AND IS COOPERATING WITH THE ORGANIZATION WITH REGARD TO EFFORTS TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING BILL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD, THE ORGANIZATION OR ITS AGENT SHALL NOT SEND, NOR INDICATE THAT IT WILL SEND, THE UNPAID BILL TO ANY OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. AT SUCH TIME AS THE ORGANIZATION SENDS THE UNCOLLECTED ACCOUNT TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY, THE AMOUNT REFERRED TO THE AGENCY SHALL REFLECT THE REDUCED-PAYMENT LEVEL FOR WHICH THE PATIENT WAS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY FOR LOW-INCOME UNINSURED PATIENTS. SACRED HEART HEALTH SERVICES DOES NOT REPORT ANY DATA TO ANY OF THE CREDIT AGENCIES, HOWEVER, THE COLLECTION AGENCIES SACRED HEART HEALTH SERVICES UTILIZES MAY REPORT TO THE CREDIT AGENCIES. ANY EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS OFFERED BY THE HOSPITAL, OR THE HOSPITAL'S REPRESENTATIVE, IN SETTLING THE OUTSTANDING BILLS OF PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SHALL BE INTEREST-FREE SO LONG AS THE REPAYMENT SCHEDULE IS MET.
