| PART I, LINE 3C: GOOD SHEPHERD LONG-TERM ACUTE SERVICES, INC., D/B/A GOOD SHEPHERD SPECIALTY HOSPITAL (THE "SPECIALTY HOSPITAL") HAS A WRITTEN CHARITY CARE POLICY. ALL PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF GOOD SHEPHERD'S CHARITY CARE AVAILABILITY PRIOR TO THE START OF THEIR CARE. GENERALLY, PATIENTS AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IF THEIR INCOME IS LESS THAN 200% OF THE CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. HOWEVER, OTHER FACTORS ARE ALSO USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY INCLUDING:- SOURCES OF INCOME- LIVING EXPENSES- OTHER PERSONAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES- DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION- ONGOING HEALTHCARE NEEDSQUALIFICATION UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY ENTITLES PATIENTS TO COMPLETELY FREE CARE. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL DOES NOT OFFER A PROGRAM OF DISCOUNTED CHARITY CARE. HOWEVER, PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE AND HAVE NO INSURANCE ARE OFFERED A DISCOUNTED PRIVATE PAY RATE FOR SERVICES, PAYABLE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THE DISCOUNTED PRIVATE PAY RATE IS DETERMINED CONSIDERING THE ESTIMATED COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S POLICY ALSO PROVIDES FOR CHARITY CARE FOR CERTAIN PATIENTS UNDER UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES. THESE CIRCUMSTANCES INCLUDE PATIENTS WHO MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR PERSONAL FINANCIAL LOSS REGARDLESS OF THEIR INCOME, INCLUDING PATIENTS WHO MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS "MEDICALLY INDIGENT." THESE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE REVIEWED BY ADMINISTRATION, PURSUANT TO POLICY. THE GOOD SHEPHERD AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURES WITH RESPECT TO CHARITY CARE:"GOOD SHEPHERD PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CONSIDERS FAMILY SIZE, SOURCES OF INCOME, LIVING EXPENSES, NET WORTH, ONGOING HEALTHCARE NEEDS, AS WELL AS OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION. BECAUSE GOOD SHEPHERD DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUES. GOOD SHEPHERD MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHARITY CARE SERVICES PROVIDED ARE ESTIMATED BY APPLYING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO TO THE AMOUNT OF GROSS UNCOMPENSATED CHARGES FOR THE PATIENTS RECEIVING CHARITY CARE. THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED BY GOOD SHEPHERD AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY $771,000 IN 2012 AND $728,000 IN 2011. GOOD SHEPHERD RECEIVED $38,707 AND $3,951 IN CONTRIBUTIONS RESTRICTED FOR CHARITY CARE DURING 2012 AND 2011, RESPECTIVELY." | ||
| PART I, LINE 6A: THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED WITHIN AND REPORTED AS PART OF AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY, PUBLISHED ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS BY GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK (GSRN). THIS REPORT INCLUDES THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES PROVIDED BY GSRN, AS WELL AS BY ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES (INCLUDING THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL). THIS REPORT IS DISTRIBUTED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN SEVERAL MANNERS, INCLUDING BEING AVAILABLE ON THE GSRN WEBSITE. A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND, ACCORDINGLY, GSRN HAS NOT FILED ONE.IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ORGANIZATIONAL, FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL COMPLEXITIES OF THE ORGANIZATIONS CONTAINED WITHIN GSRN, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED:THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL RESULTS ARE REPORTED AS A COMPONENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES (GOOD SHEPHERD). SEPARATE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GOOD SHEPHERD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING CORPORATIONS:- GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK (GSRN), THE CONTROLLING PARENT CORPORATION, FORMERLY GOOD SHEPHERD HOME- GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION HOSPITAL (THE HOSPITAL)- GOOD SHEPHERD HOME LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY, INC. (LTC)- GOOD SHEPHERD WORKSHOP/VOCATIONAL SERVICES, INC. (WORK SERVICES)- GOOD SHEPHERD LONG-TERM ACUTE SERVICES, INC., D/B/A GOOD SHEPHERD SPECIALTY HOSPITAL (THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL)- GOOD SHEPHERD HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (SUPPIL)- GOOD SHEPHERD RECIPROCAL RISK RETENTION GROUP (THE RRG)- GOOD SHEPHERD GROUP, LLC (GS GROUP)GOOD SHEPHERD'S PRIMARY OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED WITHIN THE HOSPITAL, WHICH PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE INPATIENT REHABILITATION SERVICES AND OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION SERVICES AT NUMEROUS LOCATIONS. THE LTC OPERATES TWO SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES WHICH SERVICE THE NEEDS OF SEVERELY DISABLED ADULTS. WORK SERVICES SPECIALIZES IN EMPLOYMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR PERSONS WITH PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, HEARING AND SIGHT IMPAIRMENTS AND INDUSTRIAL INJURIES BY PROVIDING SUBCONTRACTING SERVICES. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL PROVIDES SERVICES THAT REPRESENT THE FIRST STEP IN THE POST ACUTE CARE PROCESS OF RECOVERY. THE RRG IS A SELF INSURANCE COMPANY THAT PROVIDES PRIMARY LIABILITY INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES. SUPPIL PROVIDES SUPPORTIVE INDEPENDENT HOUSING TO PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES UNDER SECTION 811 OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. GS GROUP WAS ESTABLISHED TO DEVELOP A WHEELCHAIR DEVICE TO ASSIST REHABILITATION PATIENTS.IN ADDITION TO THE ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, IN JANUARY 2007, GSRN ENTERED INTO A JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT WITH THE TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA (THE UNIVERSITY) TO CREATE PHILADELPHIA POST ACUTE PARTNERS, LLC D/B/A GOOD SHEPHERD PENN PARTNERS (GSPP). GSPP WAS CREATED TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A NEW LONG-TERM ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL, TO ASSUME THE OWNERSHIP OF AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE ALL OF THE OUTPATIENT OPERATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY, TO CARRY OUT THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF THE HOSPITAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA'S (HUP'S) INPATIENT REHABILITATION UNIT, AND TO PROVIDE THE UNIVERSITY AND ITS AFFILIATES WITH CERTAIN CLINICAL AND/OR STAFFING SERVICES RELATING TO REHABILITATION. GSRN IS A 70% OWNER OF GSPP; HOWEVER, THE OPERATIONS OF GSPP ARE NOT CONSOLIDATED WITHIN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GOOD SHEPHERD AS GSRN IS NOT DEEMED TO HAVE CONTROL OVER GSPP. AS A RESULT, GSRN RECORDS THEIR INVESTMENT IN GSPP UNDER THE EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING WITHIN THE GSRN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. | ||
| PART I, LINE 7: THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL USED A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IN DETERMINING THE FIGURES REPORTED IN THIS TABLE. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO CHARGES. | ||
| PART I, L7 COL(F): THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $222,431. | ||
| PART II: WHILE MINIMAL COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE PROVIDED DIRECTLY WITHIN THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL, GSRN, THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S PARENT COMPANY, PROVIDED $18,135 OF SUCH ACTIVITIES DURING THE 2012 FISCAL YEAR. THESE ACTIVITIES TOOK THE FORM OF EXECUTIVE AND GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS BOARD MEMBERSHIPS, PARTICIPATION IN THE PARTNERSHIP FOR A DISABILITY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, AMERICAN MEDICAL REHABILITATION PROVIDERS ASSOCIATION (AMRPA) BOARD AND UNITED WAY BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIPS AS WELL AS VARIOUS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.THESE ACTIVITIES WERE NOT PROVIDED FOR PURPOSES OF MARKETING, TO INCREASE REFERRALS OF PATIENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE COVERAGE, IN FULFILLMENT OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OR CURRENT STANDARDS OF CARE, OR TO BENEFIT PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH GSRN. RATHER, THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THESE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IS TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT. FOR EXAMPLE, PARTICIPATION IN THE PARTNERSHIP FOR A DISABILITY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY DIRECTLY BENEFITS THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY. SPECIFICALLY, THE PARTNERSHIP EDUCATES AND EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR CAREGIVERS TO BETTER CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND TO IDENTIFY AND UTILIZE RESOURCES THAT ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE TO THEM WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. WITHOUT SUCH EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT, THERE IS A RISK THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EITHER DO NOT RECEIVE THE CARE OR ASSISTANCE THEY REQUIRE, OR THEY OVER-RELY ON THE SERVICES OF THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY FOR EVEN THE MOST BASIC OF NEEDS. THE VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES PROVIDED DURING THE 2012 FISCAL YEAR WAS DETERMINED BASED UPON ACTUAL REPORTED HOURS VALUED AT THE AVERAGE SALARY AND BENEFIT RATE PER HOUR OF ALL GOOD SHEPHERD EMPLOYEES. CONSERVATIVELY, NO APPLICATION OF INDIRECT OR OVERHEAD COSTS WAS APPLIED TO THESE DIRECT COSTS.ALL GSRN COSTS, INCLUSIVE OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES, ARE ALLOCATED TO GSRN'S SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS BASED UPON A COMPREHENSIVE ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY WHICH CONSIDERS DEPARTMENTAL RESOURCE UTILIZATION AND RELATIVE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, AMONG OTHER FACTORS. | ||
| PART III, LINE 4: THE FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE TO GOOD SHEPHERD'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (WHICH CONTAIN THE ACCOUNTS OF THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL) THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE:"ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, PATIENTS ARE REPORTED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN-OFF WHEN THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, GOOD SHEPHERD ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS AND PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, GOOD SHEPHERD ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS AND A PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS, IF NECESSARY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, GOOD SHEPHERD RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BILLED RATES AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS.GOOD SHEPHERD'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS INCREASED FROM 61% OF SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT JUNE 30, 2011, TO 70% OF SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT JUNE 30, 2012. IN ADDITION, GOOD SHEPHERD'S SELF-PAY ACCOUNT WRITE-OFFS (NET OF RECOVERIES) DECREASED FROM $481,000 IN 2011 TO $209,000 IN 2012. THE DECREASES WERE THE RESULT OF IMPROVEMENTS IN COINSURANCE COLLECTIONS AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. GOOD SHEPHERD HAD NOT CHANGED THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN 2012. GOOD SHEPHERD DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, NOR DID IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE-OFFS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS."GOOD SHEPHERD ELECTED TO ADOPT NEW AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE ON PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS, AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012. INCLUDED WITHIN THIS GUIDANCE WAS THE REQUIREMENT TO CHANGE THE MANNER IN WHICH THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS IS PRESENTED WITHIN GOOD SHEPHERD'S CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS. PREVIOUSLY, THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS WAS PRESENTED AS AN OPERATING EXPENSE. NOW IT IS PRESENTED AS A DEDUCTION FROM NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS.FOR PURPOSES OF PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2, TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WAS DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO CHARGES TO TOTAL THE NET OF ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF'S AND RECOVERIES PROCESSED DURING THE 2012 FISCAL YEAR. FOR PURPOSES OF PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3, THE FOLLOWING PROCESS WAS USED TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY:TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST), PER PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2, WAS USED AS A STARTING POINT. THEN, THE ESTIMATED POVERTY PERCENTAGE (12%), OF THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S 5-COUNTY PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, WAS DETERMINED BASED UPON THE EXAMINATION OF COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA REPORTS, GENERATED FROM THE MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED US CENSUS DATA. | ||
| PART III, LINE 8: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY UTILIZED IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS REPORTED IN THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S COST REPORT IS QUITE COMPREHENSIVE. DIRECTLY ALLOCATED COSTS ARE USED AS A STARTING POINT AND OTHER COSTS ARE STEPPED-DOWN TO THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL BASED UPON INDUSTRY-ACCEPTABLE ALLOCATION METHODOLOGIES. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL HAS NOT REPORTED A MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN PART III, SECTION B (MEDICARE), LINE 7. HAD THERE BEEN A SHORTFALL, IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL TREATS ALL MEDICALLY NECESSARY PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE EXPECTED REIMBURSEMENT IS ADEQUATE TO COVER ALL RELATED AND NECESSARY EXPENSES. | ||
| PART III, LINE 9B: THE HOSPITAL HAS A WRITTEN BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY AND SUCH POLICY COVERS THE PROCEDURES NECESSARY TO BILL AND COLLECT FOR THE MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS. PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY (AS EVIDENCED BY A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND APPROVED CHARITY CARE APPLICATION) ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE COLLECTION PROVISIONS OF THIS POLICY. RATHER, THEIR ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE WRITTEN-OFF FROM THE PATIENT ACCOUNTING RECORDS AS CHARITY CARE. IN INSTANCES WHERE THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES A PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT OR CAN NOT COMPLETE THE REQUIRED CHARITY CARE APPLICATION, THE HOSPITAL MAKES REASONABLE EFFORTS TO INDEPENDENTLY SUPPORT THE APPROPRIATE WRITE-OFF OF THE PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCES AS CHARITY CARE. IN INSTANCES WHERE REASONABLE EFFORTS ARE INSUFFICIENT OR INCONCLUSIVE TO SUPPORT THE APPROPRIATE WRITE-OFF OF THE PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCES AS CHARITY CARE, THE PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCES BECOME SUBJECT TO THE COLLECTION PROVISIONS OF THE HOSPITAL'S BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY. | ||
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 10: THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL HAS A WRITTEN CHARITY CARE POLICY. ALL PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF GOOD SHEPHERD'S CHARITY CARE AVAILABILITY PRIOR TO THE START OF THEIR CARE. GENERALLY, PATIENTS QUALIFY UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IF THEIR INCOME IS LESS THAN 200% OF THE CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. THE COMPLETION OF THE CHARITY CARE APPLICATION CONFIRMS THIS PREMISE. HOWEVER, OTHER FACTORS ARE ALSO USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY INCLUDING:- SOURCES OF INCOME- LIVING EXPENSES- OTHER PERSONAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES- DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION- ONGOING HEALTHCARE NEEDSQUALIFICATION UNDER THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY ENTITLES PATIENTS TO COMPLETELY FREE CARE. THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL DOES NOT OFFER A PROGRAM OF DISCOUNTED CHARITY CARE. HOWEVER, PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE AND HAVE NO INSURANCE ARE OFFERED A DISCOUNTED PRIVATE PAY RATE FOR SERVICES, PAYABLE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THE DISCOUNTED PRIVATE PAY RATE IS DETERMINED CONSIDERING THE ESTIMATED COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED. | THE ALLENTOWN SPECIALTY HOSPITAL, INC. | |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11H: THE DISCOUNTED PRIVATE PAY RATE IS BASED ON COST OF SERVICE. | THE ALLENTOWN SPECIALTY HOSPITAL, INC. | |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 18D: THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL PROVIDES POST-ACUTE MEDICAL CARE. SERVICES PROVIDED ARE NOT CONSIDERED EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. WITH RESPECT TO MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE, THE AMOUNT THAT THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL BILLS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS IS CHARGES. THEY ARE THE SAME CHARGES AS ARE BILLED TO ALL OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. HOWEVER, PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE AND HAVE NO INSURANCE ARE OFFERED A DISCOUNTED PRIVATE PAY RATE FOR SERVICES, PAYABLE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.

| PART VI, LINE 2: IN 2012, THE HEALTH CARE COUNCIL OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY (HCCLV) WAS FORMED TO MEASURE AND IMPROVE THE BROADLY DEFINED HEALTH OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY. CREATED BY THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY, HCCLV'S OBJECTIVE IS TO COOPERATIVELY DEVELOP A WORLD-CLASS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) THAT WILL GALVANIZE ACTION TO PROVIDE A DRAMATIC, DEMONSTRABLE AND SUSTAINED IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF THE CITIZENS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE HCCLV INCLUDES REPRESENTATION FROM THE DOROTHY RIDER POOL HEALTH CARE TRUST, GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK (GSRN), LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, SACRED HEART HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND HEALTH NETWORK, AND THE KIDSPEACE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.THE HCCLV'S COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOCUSED ON THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE ENTIRE LEHIGH VALLEY (LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES). SINCE THE FIVE HOSPITALS SERVE THE ENTIRE LEHIGH VALLEY AND SINCE THIS CHNA ALSO REPRESENTS A COOPERATIVE EFFORT AMONG ALL OF THE NON-PROFIT HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS, A BROAD, LEHIGH VALLEY-WIDE NET WAS CAST. WHEN IT CAME TO IDENTIFYING AN AREA WHERE HOSPITALS WOULD SHARE RESOURCES AND WORK TOGETHER, IT WAS DECIDED TO FOCUS THE COORDINATED ACTION AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ON A SMALLER GEOGRAPHIC AREA. SINCE ALL FIVE HOSPITALS HAVE A PRESENCE IN THE DOWNTOWN ALLENTOWN AREA, AND SINCE THIS AREA DEMONSTRATED THE GREATEST NEED BASED ON KEY HEALTH DATA AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS, THIS AREA WAS SELECTED AS THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA FOR THE HCCLV.THE HCCLV'S APPROACH TO THE CHNA INCORPORATES BEST PRACTICE STANDARDS RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION (APHA) AND THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (ACHI) AND HAS ACTIVELY PARTNERED WITH MANY STAKEHOLDERS, COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE CHNA INCORPORATES SEVERAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:1) AN ANALYSIS OF EXISTING COMMUNITY HEALTH MEASURES AND SECONDARY DATA FROM:A) THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL'S:I) HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020II) NATIONAL VITAL STATISTICS-2010III) UNDERLYING CAUSES OF DEATH-2010B) US CENSUS BUREAU-2010C) DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTHCARED) PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S:I) VITAL STATISTICS-2010II) COUNTY PROFILES-2012III) BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM-2008-2010E) UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN'S COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS-2012F) NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE STATE CANCER PROFILES-2010G) THE INSTITUTE FOR PEOPLE, PLACE AND POSSIBILITY-CHNA.ORG-20122) COMMUNITY INPUT/ENGAGEMENT FROM:A) HEALTH OPINION SURVEYS:I) 2010 CITY OF ALLENTOWN - CONDUCTED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK (843 RESPONSES)II) 2011 LEHIGH VALLEY - COMMISSIONED BY ST.

AN ELECTRONIC NETWORK OF ALL PARTICIPANTS IN COMMUNITY DIALOGUES WAS CREATED TO:I) CONTINUE COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMMUNITY TO ASSURE THAT INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS HEARD AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE, WAS UTILIZED AS THE COMMUNITY INTENDEDII) MAKE SURE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS ARE AWARE OF ALL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO IMPROVE HEALTH.THE HCCLV IDENTIFIED AN INFORMATION GAP THAT LIMITED ITS ABILITY TO ASSESS ALL OF THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS. MOST OF THE HEALTH DATA AVAILABLE ARE AT A COUNTY LEVEL AND DID NOT ALLOW THE HCCLV TO CONDUCT SOME OF THE "HOT-SPOTTING" OR CLUSTERING OF POOR HEALTH WHICH WAS DESIRED. HCCLV HAS ADDRESSED THIS CONCERN IN THE COORDINATED ACTION/IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.IN NOVEMBER 2012, THE ROAD TO HEALTH, AN EASY TO NAVIGATE COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILE (THE WRITTEN REPORT OF THE HCLVV'S FINDINGS) WAS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC:- AVAILABLE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH- ELECTRONICALLY SENT TO OVER 300 STAKEHOLDERS- ACCESSIBLE ON ALL OF THE HCCLV MEMBERS' WEBSITES- OVER 400 HARD COPIES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE LEHIGH VALLEY- LINKS TO THE REPORT WERE PRINTED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE LARGEST NEWSPAPERS IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS ON ELECTRONIC VERSIONS OF THE NEWSPAPERS- THE ROAD TO HEALTH WAS ALSO SENT TO THE ELECTED OFFICIALS SERVING THE LEHIGH VALLEY- COPIES CAN ALSO BE REQUESTED THROUGH A DEDICATED EMAIL ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE HCCLVTHE ROAD TO HEALTH TELLS A STORY OF GOOD HEALTH CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC DISEASE WHO CAN ACCESS THE LEHIGH VALLEY'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE LEHIGH VALLEY'S LOWER THAN AVERAGE MORTALITY RATES. PEOPLE ARE LESS LIKELY TO DIE FROM CANCER, HEART DISEASE, LUNG DISEASE, INJURIES, STROKE AND COMPLICATIONS RELATED TO DIABETES THAN AVERAGE PENNSYLVANIANS OR AMERICANS. THE PROFILE ALSO TELLS THE STORY OF OVERALL POOR HEALTH, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE LEHIGH VALLEY'S HIGHER THAN AVERAGE MORBIDITY RATES. THE PREVALENCE OF THE HEALTH ISSUES LISTED ABOVE IS GREATER IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY THAN IN PENNSYLVANIA AND UNITED STATES. IN GENERAL, THE LEHIGH VALLEY IS GOOD AT TAKING CARE OF SICK PEOPLE BUT NEEDS TO IMPROVE IN PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM GETTING SICK. FURTHER ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT KEY FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE GOOD HEALTH ARE LAGGING IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THESE INCLUDE:1) ACCESS TO WELLNESS AND PREVENTIVE SERVICES2) ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE SERVICES FOR:A) PHYSICAL HEALTHB) MENTAL HEALTHC) ORAL HEALTH3) HEALTHY BEHAVIORS:A) EATING RIGHTB) EXERCISINGC) MODERATE TOBACCO, ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG USE4) SOCIAL DETERMINANTS:A) HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATESB) CHILDREN NOT GROWING UP IN POVERTY5) ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:A) AIR QUALITYHCCLV SHARED AND DISCUSSED SECONDARY DATA FINDINGS WITH SEVERAL KEY HEALTH EXPERTS VIA ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED BETWEEN MARCH AND OCTOBER 2012:- ALBERTO CARDELLE, PHD, MPH CHAIR AND PROFESSOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH STUDIES AT EAST STROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH- VICKY KISTLER, DIRECTOR OF THE ALLENTOWN HEALTH BUREAU- KRISTEN WENRICH, INTERIM DIRECTOR (NOW DIRECTOR) OF THE BETHLEHEM HEALTH BUREAU- DIANE LEUTHARDT, DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, LEHIGH VALLEY CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION- KAREN SCHIAVONE, SENIOR CANCER CONTROL SPECIALIST, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY- CARLY HOOD, SENIOR DIVISION DIRECTOR, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION- MOLLY DEMARCO, PHD, MPH, CENTER FOR HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL- ALEXANDRA LIGHTFOOT, ED.D CENTER FOR HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL- MELVIN JACKSON, MSPH, COMMUNITY EXPERT CONSULTANT, STRENGTHENING THE BLACK FAMILY, INC.- LISSETTE LAHOZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH CENTERS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEYCOMMUNITY LEADERS AND REPRESENTATIVES ALSO TOOK PART IN ONE-ON-ONE AND SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS AND LARGE COMMUNITY DIALOGUES BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER 2012:- PHYLLIS ALEXANDER-NEIGHBORHOOD COORDINATOR, CITY OF ALLENTOWN- ERNEST PERRY-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PROMISE NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY- GARY MILSBAUGH-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALLENTOWN RESCUE MISSION- PASTOR GREG EDWARDS-CEO, RESURRECTED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION- LORNA VELASQUEZ-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HISPANIC CENTER LEHIGH VALLEY- JULIO GURIDY-PRESIDENT, ALLENTOWN CITY COUNCIL- KEVIN EASTERLING-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MARTIN LUTHER AND CORETTA SCOTT KING MEMORIAL- JOSH CHISHOLM-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CONGREGATIONS UNITED FOR NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIONS- JEFF GLAZIER-ALLENTOWN CITY COUNCIL- JOSEPH ROY-SUPERINTENDENT, BETHLEHEM AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT- MARCI RONALD-VICE PRESIDENT, COMMUNITY IMPACT, UNITED WAY OF THE GREATER LEHIGH VALLEY- ANA MARTINEZ-SCHOOL OUTREACH WORKER, ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT- ROGER HUDAK-CHAIRMAN, BETHLEHEM'S MAYOR'S SOUTH SIDE TASK FORCE- ROSS MARCUS-NORTHAMPTON COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR- ANDREW WEISS-ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORSEXTENSIVE COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH (CBPR) DIALOGUES WERE HELD IN TWO FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS (MUAS) OF OUR COMMUNITY.
