A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO DETERMINE CHARITY CARE. THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSE WAS DIVIDED BY PATIENT REVENUES TO CALCULATE AN OVERALL RATIO THAT WAS THEN APPLIED TO INDIGENT AND CHARITY CARE CHARGES TO ARRIVE AT COST. PART I, LINE 7G: LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER: AS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA'S ONLY LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER, MHUMC IS EQUIPPED TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF EMERGENCY CARE AS ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. WE ARE ONE OF ONLY FOUR LEVEL 1 CENTERS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, AND THE ONLY LEVEL 1 CENTER LOCATED BETWEEN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. TO MAINTAIN OUR LEVEL 1 STATUS, WE HAVE DESIGNATED TRAUMA SURGEONS, A HIGHLY TRAINED TRAUMA TEAM, A TRAUMA OPERATING ROOM, THREE TRAUMA TREATMENT ROOMS, AND INTENSIVE CARE UNITS AVAILABLE AROUND THE CLOCK. MHUMC RECENTLY ESTABLISHED A NEW INSTITUTE FOR INJURY RESEARCH AND PREVENTION THAT WILL SEEK TO PREVENT INJURIES THROUGH EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE LOSSES INCURRED BY PROVIDING THIS SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY WERE $4,794,187.THE CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE: THE CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE AT MHUMC INCLUDES A 26-BED ADULT INPATIENT UNIT AND A 10-BED SENIORCARE PROGRAM. OUR BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE PROGRAMS OFFER COMPASSIONATE CARE THAT ADDRESS THE PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP PATIENTS DEAL WITH THEIR ILLNESS AND RETURN TO A BETTER LIFE. THE MENTAL HEALTH TEAM IS LED BY THE PATIENT'S ATTENDING PSYCHIATRIST AND INCLUDES NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS, CASE MANAGERS, RECREATION THERAPISTS, MENTAL HEALTH TECHNICIANS, AND OTHER SPECIALISTS WHO ARE CONSULTED AS NEEDED. IN 2011, THE LOSSES INCURRED BY PROVIDING THIS SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY WERE $1,807,481.

MHUMC EXCLUDED THE FULL AMOUNT, $38,573,050 FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN COLUMN (F) ON PART I, LINE 7. PART II: THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON THE SIX DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH AS DEFINED BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION: PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL. WE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE AND SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INITIATIVES. THE ORGANIZATION IS A VOTING MEMBER OF THE LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE AND AS THE REGIONAL COORDINATING HOSPITAL, PLANS AND COORDINATES RESOURCES DURING A DISASTER OR EVACUATION. MHUMC UNDERSTANDS THAT POVERTY AND LOW EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT LEADS TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES; THEREFORE, THE MAJORITY OF OUR COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON THE FOUR COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE GROUPS BELOW: - CHATHAM COUNTY SAFETY NET PLANNING COUNCIL: COUNTYWIDE PLANNING GROUPS FOR HEALTHCARE FOR UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. - STEP-UP SAVANNAH: SAVANNAH'S ANTI-POVERTY INITIATIVE. THIS COLLABORATIVE STRIVES TO ENHANCE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE BY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. - YOUTH FUTURES AUTHORITY: THE YFA COLLABORATIVE ADDRESSES ISSUES RELEVANT TO CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES. THE VISION FOR YFA IS THAT "EVERY CHILD WILL BE BORN HEALTHY, GROW UP HEALTHY, BE SECURE FROM ABUSE AND NEGLECT, AND BECOME A LITERATE, PRODUCTIVE, AND ECONOMICALLY SELF-SUSTAINING CITIZEN." - HEALTHY SAVANNAH - HEALTHY SAVANNAH IS DEDICATED TO MAKING SAVANNAH A HEALTHIER PLACE TO LIVE. THIS GROUP IS WORKING TO MAKE THE "HEALTHY CHOICE THE EASY CHOICE". PROGRAM GOALS INCLUDE INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZENS TO ENGAGE IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND CONSUME A NUTRITIOUS, BALANCED DIET. PART III, LINE 4: THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. PART III, LINE 8: THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COST REPORTED ON LINE 6 AGREES TO THE MHUMC MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVES ADDITIONAL MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF AND LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. PART III, LINE 9B: THE ORGANIZATION'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE SELF-PAY. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT APPLY TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS INCLUDING WRITTEN LIMITATIONS ON ABUSIVE PHONE CALLS. A PATIENT CAN QUALIFY FOR TWO TYPES OF CHARITY CARE: FREE CARE AND REDUCED COST CARE. IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FREE CARE, THE AMOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF AND NO ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO COLLECT ON THE ACCOUNT. IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR REDUCED COST CHARITY CARE, COLLECTIONS ARE PURSUED ON THE REMAINDER OF THE DISCOUNTED PATIENT LIABILITY. PART VI, LINE 2: AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE CHATHAM COUNTY SAFETY NET PLANNING COUNCIL (THE COUNCIL), THE ORGANIZATION SERVES THE COMMUNITY AS A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, EMPLOYER, AND COMMUNITY PARTNER. WE CONSIDER IT OUR MORAL DUTY TO CARE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND ACTIVELY PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE REGION. IN 1997, THE ORGANIZATION IDENTIFIED ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE AS THE GREATEST COMMUNITY HEALTH NEED IN THE REGION AND BEGAN INVESTING RESOURCES IN EXISTING SERVICES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE. THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THOSE LACKING INSURANCE WAS SO GREAT THAT THE ORGANIZATION HELPED CREATE A COUNTYWIDE PLANNING GROUP FOR HEALTHCARE FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY KNOWN AS THE CHATHAM COUNTY SAFETY NET PLANNING COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL'S GOALS ARE TO STRENGTHEN THE HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILD CAPACITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED, AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE HEALTH SCIENCES FACULTY AT ARMSTRONG ATLANTIC STATE UNIVERSITY, THE COUNCIL ANNUALLY CONDUCTS AN EVALUATION OF ITS PROGRESS TOWARD THE GOALS IDENTIFYING HEALTH NEEDS, GAPS IN SERVICES, AND DISPARITIES. A COPY OF THE LAST EVALUATION REPORT IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE WWW.CHATHAMSAFETYNET.ORG. MEMORIAL'S DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC POLICY SERVES ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL AS CHAIR OF THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE. THIS COMMITTEE HAS REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL CLINIC PROVIDERS, TWO HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, AND MANY SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. PART VI, LINE 3: TO COMMUNICATE THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY TO PATIENTS, INFORMATION IS MADE AVAILABLE AT ALL POINTS OF REGISTRATION (INTAKE AND DISCHARGE) AND FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS SPECIFIC CASES. A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL INITIATE A SCREENING AFTER A CALL FOR REQUESTED ASSISTANCE IS RECEIVED DIRECTLY FROM THE PATIENT OR VIA THE CENTRALIZED SCHEDULING DEPARTMENT (FOR ALL REQUESTED ELIGIBLE NON-URGENT/EMERGENCY SERVICES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: OUTPATIENT TESTING, INPATIENT ADMISSIONS, OUTPATIENT TESTS AND PROCEDURES, AND SURGERY CASES). THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL UTILIZE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SCREENING FORM TO DETERMINE PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY. QUESTIONS ON THE FORM HELP TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILITY OF THE PATIENT BASED ON HOUSEHOLD SIZE, INCOME, AND MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. ONCE ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN DETERMINED, THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE PATIENT TO COME TO THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OFFICE TO COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION BASED ON THE ANSWERS PROVIDED DURING THE SCREENING. PROGRAMS PROVIDED INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: GEORGIA OR SOUTH CAROLINA MEDICAID, CANCER STATE AID, VICTIM OF CRIME, GEORGIA INDIGENT TRUST FUND, OR THE HOSPITAL'S OWN CHARITY PROGRAM. AFTER THE APPROPRIATE PROGRAM APPLICATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THE PATIENT WILL BE ASKED FOR REQUIRED VERIFICATIONS (I.E., BANK STATEMENTS, CHECK STUBS, STATEMENT OF SUPPORT). THE PATIENT IS INFORMED AT THIS TIME THAT IF REQUIRED VERIFICATIONS ARE NOT RECEIVED PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, THEIR APPOINTMENT WILL BE RESCHEDULED UNTIL ALL REQUESTED VERIFICATIONS ARE PROVIDED. FOR INPATIENT ADMISSIONS, IF POSSIBLE, A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL VISIT PATIENTS DURING THEIR STAY AND WILL UTILIZE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SCREENING FORM TO DETERMINE PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY. ONCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED, A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL REQUEST VERIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO APPROVE THE PATIENT FOR SPECIFIED PROGRAMS. IF THE PATIENT IS FOUND TO BE OVER-INCOME FOR FULL ASSISTANCE, THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL BE REQUIRED TO ASK FOR PAYMENT FOR SERVICES, USING BOTH THE POINT OF SERVICE DEPOSIT SCHEDULE AND THE SELF-PAY FEE SCHEDULE. IF THE PATIENT IS UNABLE TO PAY AT THE DATE OF SERVICE AND UNABLE TO MAKE SUITABLE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS, THE PATIENT WILL BE INFORMED THAT THEY WILL BE BILLED FOR SERVICES AND TOLD TO CONTACT THE BILLING OFFICE AFTER DISCHARGE. FOR ER VISITS AND WALK IN OUTPATIENT TESTING OR PROCEDURES (URGENT ONLY), REGISTRATION STAFF WILL ASK PATIENTS FOR INSURANCE AND/OR A DEPOSIT AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. DEPOSITS FROM EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS ARE COLLECTED ONLY AFTER MEDICAL SCREENING. IF THE PATIENT STATES THAT HE HAS NO INSURANCE AND IS UNABLE TO MAKE A FULL DEPOSIT, THE REGISTRATION STAFF WILL THEN USE THE FRONT END SCREENING QUESTIONS TO ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE THE PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF THE PROVIDED ANSWERS APPEAR TO QUALIFY THEM FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE REGISTRAR WILL CALL THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INBOUND TEAM AND HAVE THEM SPEAK TO THE PATIENT (IF THE PATIENT'S VISIT FALLS WITHIN THE OFFICE'S BUSINESS HOURS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 8AM TO 5PM). IF THE PATIENT'S VISIT FALLS OUTSIDE OF REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS, THE PATIENT WILL BE GIVEN A PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURE AND DIRECTED TO CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT DURING BUSINESS HOURS. IF THE PATIENT IS FOUND TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE GEORGIA INDIGENT CARE TRUST GUIDELINES, THE PATIENT WILL BE GRANTED THIS ELIGIBILITY FOR A YEAR ONLY ON SERVICES REQUESTED THAT ARE RELATED TO THE URGENT/EMERGENT MEDICAL CONDITION. THE PATIENT WILL NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY COVERED FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT ARE NOT RELATED AND WILL BE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW POLICY REQUIREMENTS WHEN REQUESTING ADDITIONAL SERVICES.
