FVH MAY ALSO INITIATE BILLING OR COLLECTION FOR A PATIENT WHO ALLEGES THAT HE OR SHE IS A PARTICIPANT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT COVERS THE COSTS OF THE HOSPITAL SERVICES, BUT FAILS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF SUCH PARTICIPATION.

FVH MAY CONTINUE COLLECTION ACTION ON ANY LOW INCOME PATIENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED PRIOR TO THE LOW INCOME PATIENT DETERMINATION, PROVIDED THAT THE CURRENT LOW INCOME PATIENT STATUS HAS BEEN TERMINATED OR EXPIRED.

PART VI, LINE 2: FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL PLACES A PRIORITY ON MAINTAINING CLOSE ALLIANCES WITH ALL SOCIAL, HEALTH, SAFETY, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WELFARE AGENCIES IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY. OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, AS WELL AS CIVIC AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS KEEP FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL ABREAST OF THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES. FAIRVIEW ENGAGES A BROAD RANGE OF OUR CONSTITUENTS (INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, TOWN LEADERS, HEALTH OFFICIALS, SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES) TO RECEIVE DIRECT FEEDBACK AND INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY MEMBERS SERVE ON MANY HOSPITAL COMMITTEES, INCLUDING OUR PATIENT FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCIL WHICH PROVIDES FEEDBACK ON HOW FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL CAN BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.STATISTICAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTS OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT. FAIRVIEW UTILIZES IN-PATIENT, EMERGENCY AND MAJOR DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORIES DATA AND ONGOING POST-STAY SURVEYS. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REPORTING ALERTS FAIRVIEW TO IMPORTANT TRENDS AND IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS THAT ARE ABOVE THE STATE NORM.FAIRVIEW PARTICIPATES WITH THE WORK OF OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND UTILIZES MANY ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE MADE AVAILABLE ON BEHALF OF SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES. AMONG THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE PROVIDED SURVEY DATA ARE THE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT SURVEY, SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE YOUTH COALITION YOUTH SURVEY, UNITED WAY COMMUNITY IMPACT BASELINE REPORT, MASSACHUSETTS PREVENTION NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY, CROSS-CULTURAL ACTION NETWORK, SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATIVE, MASSACHUSETTS COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS (UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN POPULATION HEALTH INSTITUTE), MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND HEALTH REGIONALIZATION STATUS REPORTS, BERKSHIRE HILLS REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BMI REPORTS, AND BERKSHIRE COUNTY BOARDS OF HEALTH ASSOCIATION BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT.
PART VI, LINE 3: FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL HELPS PATIENTS ACCESS COVERAGE AND CONSISTENTLY PROMOTES ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL. THE ADVOCACY FOR ACCESS OFFICE, EASILY ACCESSIBLE AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, FACILITATES ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO NEED IMMEDIATE CARE AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED. THE ADVOCACY TEAM HAS TRAINED STAFF AT ENTRY POINTS AS WELL AS CAREGIVERS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE IMPORTANT ROLE THEY CAN PROVIDE TO PATIENTS. THE ADVOCACY TEAM REGULARLY VISITS PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THE PATIENTS MAY HAVE AS WELL AS FACILITATING ENROLLMENT IN THE APPROPRIATE PLAN. IN ADDITION, A FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS AVAILABLE DURING BUSINESS HOURS TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN EXPLAINING BILLING ISSUES AND CREATING FLEXIBLE BILLING ARRANGEMENTS TO MEET THE PATIENTS' NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 4: FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL SERVES A RURAL AREA OF TWELVE TOWNS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF MASSACHUSETTS IN ADDITION TO NEARBY COMMUNITIES IN NEW YORK STATE AND CONNECTICUT. PRIMARY RESIDENTS OF THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES FACE THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES OF RURAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION. THESE ARE SOME OF THE STATE'S REMOTEST COMMUNITIES. THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY IS PREDOMINATELY CAUCASIAN WITH A GROWING MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY. TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF FAMILIES ARE LIVING BELOW 200% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL (MORE THAN 3% OVER STATE AVERAGES) AND THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA INCOME IS $3,297 LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. OVER 25% OF THE STUDENTS IN THE LOCAL DISTRICT ARE ON FREE OR REDUCED PRICED LUNCHES.THE ELDER POPULATION IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES IS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE STATE POPULATION, REACHING OVER 20% IN SOME COMMUNITIES (MASSACHUSETTS RATES ARE 13%) WITH MANY ELDERS LIVING ALONE. THERE ARE TWO SENIOR HOUSING UNITS AND THREE NURSING HOMES IN THE AREA, AND SENIOR CENTERS IN MOST AREA TOWNS.BECAUSE THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES IS A MAJOR TOURIST DESTINATION FOR THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA, IN MANY COMMUNITIES MORE THAN HALF THE HOMES ARE OWNED BY PART-TIME RESIDENTS. SEASONAL AND PART-TIME SERVICE JOBS ARE A MAJOR SOURCE OF INCOME FOR PRIMARY RESIDENTS. HOWEVER, THE HOUSING MARKET REFLECTS THE SECONDARY MARKET WITH HIGHER VALUES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN REACH OF THE INCOME OF MOST LOCAL FAMILIES. RURAL HOMELESSNESS IS A HIDDEN, BUT PERVASIVE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUE. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS LIMITED AND NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE. AS A RESULT, TRANSPORTATION IS AN OBSTACLE TO CARE FOR MANY, PARTICULARLY AMONG THE ELDERLY. A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AGENCY RUNS A LIMITED BUS ROUTE WITH LIMITED HOURS. ADDITIONAL ELDERLY TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE BUT LIMITED. PEOPLE WHO NEED TO ACCESS HEALTHCARE MUST RELY ON FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO GET TO MEDICAL CARE. SPECIALTY CARE IS A PARTICULAR CHALLENGE TO OBTAIN. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH AREA ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP MAKE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AVAILABLE. HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION ARE THE PRIMARY EMPLOYMENT SECTORS. THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE ECONOMY'S PRIMARY ECONOMIC ENGINE IS TOURISM, WITH A HIGH NUMBER OF HOTELS, BED AND BREAKFASTS, RESTAURANTS, AND RETAIL SHOPS AND SERVICES CATERING TO THE TOURIST COMMUNITY. THE LOCAL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WAS SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. ALTHOUGH THESE ARE OFTEN SEASONAL AND SERVICE BASED JOBS, THEY ARE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE ECONOMY.
