FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	THE MISSION OF DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL IS TO PROVIDE A RESPONSIVE, HEALING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. PROVIDING HEALTHCARE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS WAS ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE GOALS OF THE VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION (V.I.A.), THE WOMEN'S CLUB THAT FOUNDED DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL. THE V.I.A. TRADITION OF ENSURING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS CONTINUES TODAY. PATIENTS SHOULD NEVER AVOID SEEKING CARE BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CANNOT AFFORD IT. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL HONORS THE V.I.A.'S ORIGINAL PROMISE TODAY FOR ALL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE UNISURED OR UNDERINSURED, DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL OFFERS THE HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM OFFERS A VARIETY OF ASSISTANCE, COUNSELING AND FINANCING OPTIONS TO HELP EASE THE WORRY ABOUT HEALTHCARE COSTS. EVEN FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FREE HEALTHCARE SERVICES, DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL PROVIDES OPTIONS TO HELP WITH HEALTHCARE COSTS. IN THESE SITUATIONS, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS HELP TO DETERMINE THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS (FINANCING, SLIDING SCALE AND CHARITY CARE ALLOWANCES TO REDUCE THE PATIENT BALANCE). A VARIETY OF FACTORS AND CRITERIA ARE CONSIDERED: - PATIENT/GUARANTOR HAS NO GOVERNMENTAL OR PRIVATE INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. - PATIENT/GUARANTOR HAS EXHAUSTED ANY INSURANCE BENEFITS AND HAS BECOME MEDICALLY INDIGENT. - CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED THAT CASUED THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR TO NO LONGER HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY AN EXISTING LIABILITY, EITHER CURRENT OR DELINQUENT. - SLIDING SCALE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNTS ARE PROVIDED BASED ON FAMILY SIZE, INCOME LEVEL, BALANCE DUE IN PROPORTION TO INCOME AFTER RECONCILIATION WITH PUBLIC OR PRIVATE INSURERS. - PATIENTS WITH FAMILY INCOME AT OR BELOW 100% OF THE PUBLISHED POVERTY GUIDELINES ARE SCREENED FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAID BASED ON CURRENT STATE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. - PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME IS BETWEEN 100% AND 200% OF THE PUBLISHED POVERTY GUIDELINES WILL HAVE BALANCES REDUCED FOR FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (FREE CARE). - PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME FALLS BETWEEN 250% AND 1000% OF THE PUBLISHED FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR DISCOUNTED SERVICE ACCORDING TO ANNUAL SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT MODEL. - PATIENTS WHO APPEAR ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE BUT FOR WHOM THERE IS NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FORM ON FILE DUE TO A LACK OF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION MAY BE GRANTED UP TO 100% WRITE-OFF OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE. PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY MAY BE DETERMINED THROUGH THE USE OF AN OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDING A HEALTHCARE CREDIT REPORT. PESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY MAY ALSO BE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF INDIVIDUAL LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY INCLUDE: STATE FUNDED PRESCRIPTION PROGRAMS; HOMELESS OR RECEIVING CARE FROM A HOMELESS CLINIC; PARTICIPATION IN WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN (WIC) PROGRAM; FOOD STAMP ELIGIBILITY; SUBSIDIZED SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM; ELIGIBILITY FOR OTHER STATE OR LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE UNFUNDED; LOW INCOME/SUBSIDIZED HOUSING IS PROVIDED AS VALID ADDRESS; PATIENT IS DECEASED WITH NO KNOWN ESTATE; ELIGIBILITY FOR ANN SILVERMAN COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC FREE HEALTHCARE. - UNINSURED PATIENTS IDENTIFIED AS QUALIFYING FOR DISCOUNTED CHARGES FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES WILL BE GRANTED A 50% SELF-PAY DISCOUNT FROM TOTAL CHARGES IF NOT COVERED BY A THIRD PARTY. ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS MAY BE APPLIED FOR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS AFTER APPLICABLE INSURANCE PAYMENTS AND CO-PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED. FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS OFFERED AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, IF POSSIBLE, AND ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. UNINSURED DISCOUNTS AND SLIDING SCALE ALLOWANCES ARE GRANTED AS APPROPRIATE, AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, OR AFTERWARD. THE ORGANIZATION PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. CHARITY CARE THE CORPORATION PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. UNREIMBURSED CHARGES FROM MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS ON BEHALF OF PATIENTS THAT MEET THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE CRITERIA ARE ALSO CONSIDERED CHARITY CARE. THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, AND ESTABLISHES RESERVES FOR THESE AMOUNTS. ACCORDINGLY, SUCH AMOUNTS ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS. THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOREGONE FOR SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY ARE SUMMARIZED IN THE FOLLOWING TABLE: YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 2010 UNREIMBURSED CHARGES FROM MEDICAL $ 12,705,895 $ 13,506,389 ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FREE CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 4,605,416 4,059,300 ------------- ----------- $ 17,311,311 $ 17,565,689
COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	PLEASE REFER TO SCHEDULE O FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	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 $3,752,790. AMOUNTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. NO COSTS RELATING TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PHYSICIAN CLINICS OR PRACTICES.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING IS AT THE CORE OF DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL'S MISSION. IT IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN THE U.S. OWNED AND OPERATED BY A WOMEN'S CLUB, THE VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. THROUGHOUT ITS MORE THAN 100-YEAR HISTORY, THE V.I.A. HAS BEEN A LEADER IN COMMUNITY ADVOCACY. THE GROUP FOUNDED DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL IN 1923. IN RECENT YEARS, DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL, ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF ITS MEDICAL STAFF, ESTABLISHED THE ANN SILVERMAN COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE UNINSURED IN OUR COMMUNITY. MORE THAN 1,077 PATIENTS WERE TREATED IN 2011 AT NO COST. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL IS ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH MANY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF THE POPULATION, FROM BIRTH TO DEATH. HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES ARE ENCOURAGED TO VOLUNTEER IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR PATIENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES, AND NET OF ACCOUNTS SUBSEQUENTLY IDENTIFIED FOR PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE CARE. THE ORGANIZATION PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS THE CORPORATION PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR ESTIMATED LOSSES RESULTING FROM UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE RESERVE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS WHEN MANAGEMENT DETERMINES THAT RECOVERY IS UNLIKELY AND THE CORPORATION CEASES COLLECTION EFFORTS. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30 2010, THE CORPORATION REFINED ITS METHODOLOGY FOR ESTIMATING THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED ON AN EVALUATION OF THE CORPORATION'S CURRENT COLLECTION PATTERNS. AS A RESULT OF THE REFINEMENT, A CHANGE IN ESTIMATE OF $1,900,000 WAS RECORDED TO REDUCE THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED USING THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBTS ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE", A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE: IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL, AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THIS ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDBALE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEUDLE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4%. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND TO INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING HOSPITAL INVOICES ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THA
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE.

AFTER 15 DAYS, ANY ACCOUNTS OVER $15 WITH NO RESPONSE ARE PLACED WITH A CONTRACTED OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. THE FACILITY ALSO HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY TO ASSURE PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE DETERMINED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE WILL BE PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER OPTIONS. UNINSURED PATIENTS IDENTIFIED AS QUALIFYING FOR DISCOUNTED CHARGES FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES WILL BE GRANTED A 50% UNINSURED DISCOUNT FROM TOTAL CHARGES IF NOT COVERED BY A THIRD PARTY.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT CONTINUED	CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	V.I.A. AFFILIATES ----------------- THE AFFILIATES WAS REACTIVATED IN 1994 TO BRING TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE CENTRAL BUCKS COMMUNITY NECESSARY COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES THAT MAY NOT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE OR INCLUDED IN THE MISSION OF OTHER SYSTEM ENTITIES. IN ORDER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THE V.I.A. AFFILIATES HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES. V.I.A. AFFILIATES EXISTS TO SUPPORT THE SERVICE CORE VALUE OF DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS A BLUE DISTINCTION CENTER FOR KNEE AND HIP REPLACEMENT, AS WELL AS RECEIVING TWO PRESTIGIOUS TECHNOLOGY AWARDS, AND ALSO IS AMONG THE TOP 5% IN THE NATION FOR PATIENT SAFETY. NATIONAL STUDY PLACES DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL'S CARDIAC SERVCIES BEST IN BUCKS COUNTY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL IS THE TOP RATED HOSPITAL IN BUCKS COUNTY FOR OVERALL CARDIAC CARE, ACCORDING TO A COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL STUDY RELEASED TODAY BY HEALTHGRADES, THE LEADING INDEPENDENT HEALTHCARE RATINGS ORGANIZATION. THE HEALTHGRADES STUDY ANALYZES TENS OF MILLIONS OF PATIENTS' OUTCOMES - SPECIFICALLY, MORTALITY AND COMPLICATION RATES - AT THE NATION'S 5,000 HOSPITALS. PATIENTS HIGHLY VALUE INDEPENDENT INFORMATION ON HOSPITAL QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE. IN LIGHT OF RECENT HEALTH REFORM MEASURES, DEMAND FOR THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY LIKELY TO INCREASE. IN A RECENT SURVEY OF VISITORS TO HEALTHGRADES.COM RELATED TO HOSPITAL QUALITY, 94% RANKED QUALITY OUTCOMES AND RATINGS AS VERY IMPORTANT COMPARED TO REPUTATION (89%), VOLUME (78%), AND LOCATION (58%). DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL STANDS COMMITTED TO A CULTURE OF QUALITY AND TRANSPARENCY AND IS PROUD OF THE RESULTS THAT ITS CARDIAC PROGRAM HAS ACHIEVED. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL RECEIVED HEALTHGRADES HIGHEST RATING, 5-STARS, FOR BOTH CORONARY INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES AS WELL AS TREATMENT OF HEART ATTACKS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST YEAR THE HOSPITAL SCORED HIGH; IN FACT IT HAS SUSTAINED THE TOP RATINGS FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE YEARS. IN THIS YEAR'S HEALTHGRADES STUDY, NO OTHER HOSPITAL IN BUCKS COUNTY RECEIVED THE 5-STAR RATING FOR TREATMENT OF HEART ATTACKS. "OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE CARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOMES FOR OUR PATIENTS," SAYS CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER SCOTT LEVY, MD. "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OUR ACHIEVEMENTS BY HEALTHGRADES CERTAINLY HELPS VALIDATE THE WORK WE DO." ACCORDING TO THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL HEALTHGRADES HOSPITAL QUALITY IN AMERICA STUDY TOP-RATED HOSPITALS HAD A 53% LOWER MORTALITY RATE THAN THE U.S. NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR 17 PROCEDURES AND DIAGNOSES RANGING FROM BYPASS SURGERY TO TREATMENT FOR HEART ATTACK. WHEN THE TOP-RATED HOSPITALS WERE COMPARED TO THE POOREST PERFORMERS, THERE WAS AN EVEN GREATER QUALITY GAP: A 72% LOWER RISK OF MORTALITY. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL IS AN ACCREDITED CHEST PAIN CENTER WITH PROTOCOLS IN PLACE TO OFFER THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CARE FOR CARDIAC SYMPTOMS. THE HEART INSTITUTE OF DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL IS A LEADER IN PRIMARY (EMERGENCY) ANGIOPLASTY, THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE TO OPEN BLOCKED CORONARY ARTERIES DURING A HEART ATTACK. AT 62.5 MINUTES, DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL'S DOOR-TO-BALLOON TIME (THE TIME FROM PATIENT ARRIVAL TO WHEN THE ARTERY IS OPENED) IS CONSISTENTLY SUPERIOR TO NATIONAL AVERAGES, AND WELL BELOW THE SUGGESTED BENCHMARK OF 90 MINUTES. "THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF HEART ATTACK," SAYS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES JOHN MITCHELL. "THIS INVOLVES CLOSE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CATH LAB, PHYSICIANS AND NURSES. EVERY MEMBER OF THE TEAM HAS THE SAME GOAL OF PROVIDING SUCCESSFUL, PATIENT-CENTERED CARE." THE 2011 HEALTHGRADES HOSPITAL RATINGS ARE POSTED AND ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC AT WWW.HEALTHGRADES.COM. HEALTHGRADES HOSPITAL QUALITY RATINGS HEALTHGRADES' HOSPITAL RATINGS AND AWARDS REFLECT THE TRACK RECORD OF PATIENT OUTCOMES AT HOSPITALS IN THE FORM OF MORTALITY AND COMPLICATION RATES. HEALTHGRADES RATES HOSPITALS INDEPENDENTLY BASED ON DATA THAT HOSPITALS SUBMIT TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. NO HOSPITAL CAN OPT IN OR OUT OF BEING RATED, AND NO HOSPITAL PAYS TO BE RATED. FOR 26 PROCEDURES AND TREATMENTS, HEALTHGRADES ISSUES STAR RATINGS THAT REFLECT THE MORTALITY AND COMPLICATION RATES FOR EACH CATEGORY OF CARE. HOSPITALS RECEIVING A 5-STAR RATING HAVE MORTALITY OR COMPLICATION RATES THAT ARE BETTER THAN ANTICIPATED, TO A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DEGREE. A 3-STAR RATING MEANS THE HOSPITAL PERFORMS AS EXPECTED. ONE-STAR RATINGS INDICATE THE HOSPITAL'S MORTALITY OR COMPLICATION RATES IN THAT PROCEDURE OR TREATMENT ARE STATISTICALLY HIGHER THAN AVERAGE. BECAUSE THE RISK PROFILES OF PATIENT POPULATIONS AT HOSPITALS ARE NOT ALIKE, HEALTHGRADES RISK-ADJUSTS THE DATA TO ALLOW FOR EQUAL COMPARISONS. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL AWARDED CERTIFICATIONS FROM JOINT COMMISSION ---------------------------------------------------------------- SEVERAL OF DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL'S MEDICAL PROGRAMS HAVE EARNED THE GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL FOR HEALTHCARE QUALITY. THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS AWARDED DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL DISEASE-SPECIFIC CARE CERTIFICATIONS FOR TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT AND TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT. DOYLESTOWN HAS ALSO EARNED THE GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL FROM THE JOINT COMMISSION FOR PRIMARY STROKE CENTERS. IN ADDITION, DOYLESTOWN HAS RECEIVED ADVANCED CERTIFICATION IN HEART FAILURE, A CERTIFICATE OF DISTINCTION THAT RECOGNIZES EXCEPTIONAL EFFORTS TO FOSTER BETTER OUTCOMES FOR HEART FAILURE PATIENTS. "DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL VOLUNTARILY PURSUED THIS COMPREHENSIVE, INDEPENDENT EVALUATION TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF CARE WE PROVIDE," SAYS DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL PRESIDENT RICHARD REIF. "WE'RE PROUD TO ACHIEVE THIS DISTINCTION." "THIS CERTIFICATION MEANS DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL DOES THE RIGHT THINGS AND DOES THEM WELL FOR THEIR PATIENTS," SAYS JEAN E. RANGE, M.S., R.N., C.P.H.Q., EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DISEASE-SPECIFIC CARE CERTIFICATION, JOINT COMMISSION. "DOYLESTOWN HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT ITS STROKE CARE PROGRAM FOLLOWS NATIONAL STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES THAT CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR STROKE PATIENTS." THE JOINT COMMISSION'S PRIMARY STROKE CENTER CERTIFICATION IS BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRIMARY STROKE CENTERS PUBLISHED BY THE BRAIN ATTACK COALITION AND THE AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION'S STATEMENTS/GUIDELINES FOR STROKE CARE.

IT IS THE FIRST PROGRAM OF ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY TO CERTIFY DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. AT DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL, JOINT REPLACEMENT PATIENTS RECEIVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CARE THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE TREATMENT, INCLUDING EDUCATION BEFORE THE PROCEDURE, PAIN MANAGEMENT AND REHABILITATION. FOR THE JOINT COMMISSION'S ADVANCED LEVEL OF CERTIFICATION, PROGRAMS MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR DISEASE-SPECIFIC CARE CERTIFICATION PLUS ADDITIONAL, CLINICALLY-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS. DOYLESTOWN HAS A CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE COORDINATOR AND A TEAM OF EXPERTS THAT WORK HARD TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THESE PATIENTS.

THIS YEAR'S STUDY FINDS THAT MEDICARE PATIENTS AT PATIENT SAFETY EXCELLENCE AWARD HOSPITALS WERE 46.26% LESS LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE A PATIENT SAFETY EVENT DURING THE TIME PERIOD STUDIED. THE EIGHTH ANNUAL HEALTHGRADES PATIENT SAFETY IN AMERICAN HOSPITALS STUDY ANALYZED NEARLY 40 MILLION HOSPITALIZATION RECORDS FROM APPROXIMATELY 5,000 HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. PARTICIPATION IN THE HEALTHGRADES STUDY IS NOT VOLUNTARY, AND HOSPITALS CANNOT CHOOSE TO OPT OUT OF THE ANALYSIS. "TO BE CONSISTENTLY RECOGNIZED FOR PATIENT SAFETY HELPS VALIDATE OUR EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY CARE," SAID DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL PRESIDENT RICHARD REIF. "PATIENT SAFETY AND PATIENT QUALITY ARE AT THE CORE OF OUR BEING - IT IS WHY WE EXIST. IT TOUCHES EVERYTHING WE DO. THE TRUST WE STRIVE FOR WITH OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IS BUILT ON PATIENT SAFETY AND THE WAY WE DELIVER THAT CARE. WHEN WE ENTER THE LIVES OF OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, THEY EXPECT US TO KEEP THEIR SAFETY AS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. OUR TEAM OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, CLINICAL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARE VIGILANT IN MEETING THAT EXPECTATION." "ENSURING THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PATIENT SAFETY IS AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO," SAID DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL PRESIDENT RICHARD REIF. "OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES EXPECT THE BEST CARE DELIVERED IN A COMPASSIONATE MANNER, AND WE EXPECT TO MEET THAT EXPECTATION. IN TURN, WE EXPECT OUR TALENTED TEAM OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, CLINICAL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS TO BE ATTENTIVE TO THOSE DETAILS THAT MATTER MOST TO PATIENTS. WE CONSTANTLY LOOK AT PATIENT SAFETY AND THE PROCESSES THAT GO INTO CREATING A SAFE PATIENT EXPERIENCE HERE AT DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL." "ON BEHALF OF HEALTHGRADES I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL FOR A TRACK RECORD OF PATIENT SAFETY THAT IS AMONG THE BEST IN THE NATION," SAID RICK MAY, MD, A VICE PRESIDENT AT HEALTHGRADES AND CO-AUTHOR OF THE STUDY. "HOSPITALS LIKE DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL ARE SETTING BENCHMARKS OF SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE OTHER HOSPITALS EMULATE." THE SEVENTH ANNUAL HEALTHGRADES PATIENT SAFETY IN AMERICAN HOSPITALS STUDY APPLIES METHODOLOGY DEVELOPED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES' AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE RESEARCH AND QUALITY TO IDENTIFY THE INCIDENCE RATES OF 15 PATIENT SAFETY INDICATORS AMONG MEDICARE PATIENTS AT VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE NATION'S NEARLY 5,000 NONFEDERAL HOSPITALS. ADDITIONALLY, HEALTHGRADES APPLIED ITS METHODOLOGY USING 12 PATIENT SAFETY INDICATORS TO IDENTIFY THE BEST-PERFORMING HOSPITALS, OR PATIENT SAFETY EXCELLENCE AWARD HOSPITALS, WHICH REPRESENT THE TOP 5% OF ALL U.S. HOSPITALS. HEALTHGRADES DEVELOPED THIS AWARD TO GIVE PATIENTS MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CHOOSING A HOSPITAL. IN THE HEALTHGRADES ANALYSIS, THE FOLLOWING ARE THE PATIENT SAFETY INDICATORS STUDIED: - COMPLICATIONS OF ANESTHESIA - DEATH IN LOW MORTALITY DIAGNOSTIC RELATED GROUPINGS (DRGS) - DECUBITUS ULCER (BED SORES) - DEATH AMONG SURGICAL INPATIENTS WITH SERIOUS TREATABLE COMPLICATIONS - IATROGENIC PNEUMOTHORAX (COLLAPSED LUNG) - SELECTED INFECTIONS DUE TO MEDICAL CARE - POST-OPERATIVE HIP FRACTURE - POST-OPERATIVE HEMORRHAGE OR HEMATOMA - POST-OPERATIVE PHYSIOLOGIC AND METABOLIC DERANGEMENTS - POST-OPERATIVE RESPIRATORY FAILURE - POST-OPERATIVE PULMONARY EMBOLISM OR DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS - POST-OPERATIVE SEPSIS - POST-OPERATIVE ABDOMINAL WOUND DEHISCENCE - ACCIDENTAL PUNCTURE OR LACERATION - TRANSFUSION REACTION DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL IS AMONG THE TOP 5% IN THE NATION FOR PATIENT EXPERIENCE FOR THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR --------------------------------------------------------------------- HEALTHGRADES, THE NATION'S MOST TRUSTED SOURCE FOR RESEARCHING AND SELECTING DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS, NAMED DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL A RECIPIENT OF THE 2011 OUTSTANDING PATIENT EXPERIENCE AWARD. THIS DISTINCTION RANKS DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL AMONG THE TOP 5% OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF PATIENT SATISFACTION DATA FOR 3,797 U.S. HOSPITALS. THIS YEAR'S STUDY MARKS THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL'S PATIENT EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED, SOMETHING ONLY 120 HOSPITALS IN THE NATION HAVE ACHIEVED. ACCORDING TO HEALTHGRADES, 80% OF PATIENTS TREATED AT THE NATION'S BEST-PERFORMING HOSPITALS WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE HOSPITAL COMPARED TO ONLY 55% OF PATIENTS WHO RECEIVED CARE FROM THE POOREST-PERFORMING HOSPITALS. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL ALSO RECENTLY RECEIVED THE 2011 HEALTHGRADES PATIENT SAFETY EXCELLENCE AWARD MARKING THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR IN A ROW FOR THIS DISTINCTION. DOYLESTOWN IS ONE OF ONLY 18 HOSPITALS IN THE U.S. - AND THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN PENNSYLVANIA - TO BE A FOUR-TIME RECIPIENT OF THE OUTSTANDING PATIENT EXPERIENCE AWARD AND THREE-TIME RECIPIENT OF THE PATIENT SAFETY EXCELLENCE AWARD. "A HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE INCLUDES FAR MORE THAN SIMPLY THE QUALITY OF THE MEDICAL CARE," SAID DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL PRESIDENT RICHARD REIF. "IT INCLUDES THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN A PATIENT AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE UP THE 'HOSPITAL'- THE DOCTORS, NURSES, NON-CLINICAL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS.
