      <Description>San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center (SLVRMC) has operated as an independent, not-for-profit hospital for over 83 years. SLVRMC serves the six counties of the San Luis Valley with a population of just under 50,000 and an area of over 8,200 square miles; larger than the state of New Jersey. Including our relationship with Conejos County Hospital, SLVRMC employs almost 600 and is the largest employer in the San Luis Valley. The trustees, providers and staff of SLVRMC are understandably proud of their tradition for providing care and service to our communities. Serving our low-income community means that we have a challenging payer mix with high Medicaid, uninsured and relatively low commercial percentages. This has led to our organization being resourceful, creative and innovative in order to continue service with positive operating margins. SLVRMC's operating expense per adjusted patient day is $2,523 compared to a Colorado average of $3,348 and a rural hospital average of $3,665. Over the last eight years, our gross revenue has increased from $20M to $60M and the number of patients served has expanded several fold. New services have been added in medication oncology, inpatient rehabilitation, dialysis, sleep disorders, women's imaging center, fixed wing medical transportation, genetic counseling, behavioral health, Psychiatry, chiropractic, oncology/infusion therapy and more.</Description>

        <CostingMethodUsed>The organization used a cost-to charge ratio for lines 7a, 7b, and 7c. The cost-to-charge ratio was derived from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges. The information for lines 7e through 7i was derived from information in the general ledger and other financial data related specifically to the various types of community benefits.</CostingMethodUsed>
        <PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>Total bad debt expense removed from the denominator prior to the percentage calculation = 6,073,933.</PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>
        <BadDebtFootnote>The Medical Center reports patient accounts receivable for services rendered at net realizable amounts from third-party payers, patients and others. The Medical Center provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. As a service to the patient, the Medical Center bills third-party payers directly and bills the patient when the patient's liability is determined. Patient accounts receivable are due in full when billed. Accounts are considered delinquent and subsequently written off as bad debts based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the account. The organization used a cost-to charge ratio for the computation of bad debt expense at cost. The cost-to-charge ratio was derived from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges. The administrative requirements to determine whether patients who do not cooperate with the financial assistance process would have qualified for charity can be burdensome, particularly for small balances, so a reasonable estimate, based on broad demographic data, should be sufficient to justify community benefit treatment.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>Line 6 was computed using allowable costs as reported on the San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center's 2009 Medicare Cost Report. IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545, which established the community benefit standard for nonprofit hospitals, states that if a hospital serves patients with government health benefits, including Medicare, then this is an indication that the hospital operates to promote the health of the community. This implies that treating Medicare patients is a community benefit.</ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>
        <NeedsAssessment>SLVRMC has its finger on the pulse of the community through various community involvements. Through communication with providers and community non-profits, this need is addressed as required. Sample current and past programming have included free colonoscopies, breast health related testing, PSA testing, and much more.</NeedsAssessment>
        <PatientEducationAssistance>SLVRMC provides a Patient Financial Counselor who identifies resources and eligibility assessment for programs through Federal and State government programs, as well as grant funded programs. We also provide a sliding fee scale for service for those self pay patients not fitting within any of these programs. Pay plans are also set up for self pay patients.</PatientEducationAssistance>
        <CommunityInformation>SLVRMC serves the entire San Luis Valley which has a population of nearly 50,000 residents within 6 counties. The SLV is geographically limited due to its surrounding mountain passes that sometimes make it difficult to travel elsewhere when care isn't available here. The average poverty level is approximately 21.6% compared to Colorado's average of 9.3%. Median income levels are approximately $26,210 compared to $47,203 statewide. 61% of households in the six county area are moderate to low income. Approximately 72% of our payer mix comes from uninsured, Medicaid/Medicare patients, CICP or self-pay.</CommunityInformation>
        <CommunityBuildingActivities>SLVRMC provides resources and staff Healthcare Coalitions, Emergency Preparedness, All Hazard Committee, Trauma Meetings, Street Lights for Ambulance &amp; HUD meeting.
