LOSS RATE FACTORS ARE BASED ON HISTORICAL LOSS EXPERIENCE AND ADJUSTED FOR ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OTHER TRENDS AFFECTING THE HOSPITAL'S ABILITY TO COLLECT OUTSTANDING AMMOUNTS. UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD THEY ARE DEEMED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE ALLOWANCE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS IS BASED ON EXPECTED PAYMENT RATES FROM PAYORS BASED ON CURRENT REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGIES. THIS AMOUNT ALSO INCLUDES AMOUNTS RECEIVED AS INTERIM PAYMENTS AGAINST UNPAID CLAIMS BY CERTAIN PAYORS. BELL USES A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO FOR DETERMINING BAD DEBT EXPENSE AMOUNTS.

        <NeedsAssessment>Part VI, Line 2: Following the Michigan Surgeon General's Health Status Report, which aligns with the Healthy Michigan 2010 initiative, "the definition of health is more than the absence of illness or disease. A broader definition of health that includes aspect mental, emotional spiritual, and social well-being should be used." Eliminating certain risk factors that lead to negative health outcomes will improve the life expectancy of citizens. The report continues to state that in 1999, over 3.2 million Michigan citizens were medically underserved and over 1.5 million were unserved; the issued tended to affect rural areas more. The second highest priority for the Health Status Report was the need to emphasize healthy lifestyles, following the need to prevent chronic diseases. Over 50 percent of adults reported participated in physical activity less than the recommended 30 minutes per day. Twenty-five percent said that they participated in no leisure time physical activity at all and the rate of obesity, especially in Michigan's children, was a particular concern. Specific statistics of particular concern include: - 75% of Michigan adults and 79% of students surveyed ate less than the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day- Michigan ranks the third worse among states for the rate of obesity and has been among the ten heaviest states for the past 14 years- 62% of adults in Michigan are considered either overweight or obese- A majority of high school students and adults indicated that they were trying to lose or maintain weight. Other priorities in Michigan's Health status report include substance abuse, tobacco use, maternal/child health and immunizations, all of which directly affect Michigan's children. In addition to specifics outlined in the Health Status Report, specific regions also conducted community health assessment and improvement (CHAI) initiatives designed to direct local efforts toward improving community's health through partnerships between public and private health organizations and stakeholders. In these initiatives, community health priorities were established that were aligned with the Healthy People 2010 initiative that includes promoting healthy behaviors and promoting healthy and safe communities. According to the CHAI assessments (2000-2001) the Upper Peninsula of Michigan created a regional priority profile for health improvement. Included in its list of twenty-three areas are early childhood health improvement, physical well-being, tobacco use, substance abuse and youth assets. Within Marquette County's community strategies was the commitment to improve child health outcomes through programming that promotes preventative health services. Bell Memorial Hospital does not conduct its own needs assessment. The local county health department along with local coalitions have conducted needs assessments and have published the information. Bell Memorial Hospital uses this information to develop programs and initiatives to improve the health of the community.</NeedsAssessment>
        <PatientEducationAssistance>Part VI, Line 3: At the point of registration it is determined whether a patient has insurance coverage or is a "self-pay" patient. If a "self-pay" patient, they are made aware of their responsiblity for payment and referred to a Hospital Financial counselor to determine eligibility. For all inpatients noted as "self-pay", a financial counselor will meet them in person while at the hospital and review eligibility options. Further, a charity care flyer is inserted in their billing statement, as well as, the financial counselor's contact information. Also, each billing statement sent to the individual is stamped with counselor's phone number and states to call them if unable to pay in 30 days.</PatientEducationAssistance>
        <CommunityInformation>Part VI, Line 4: Marquette County is ranked #10 in the State for at-risk health behaviors. 29% of the people in Marquette County are considered obese. Accordingly, Bell Hospital has built a Fitness Trail along with having multiple Wellness programs available to the community to address the issue and improve the health in the community. Various statistics which help to explain the health picture of Marquette County are as follows: 1.) Morbidity 50%2.) Tobacco use 18%3.) Obese population 29% 4.) Binge drinking 21% A few county statistics are as follows:1.) 11% of population is uninsured with a 1o% target2.) 16% children live in poverty with a 11% target3.) 88% of adults have a high school education and 30% have a college education This data was provided form University of Wisconsin Madison in 2009.</CommunityInformation>

        <OtherInformation>Part VI, Line 6: Bell Memorial Hospital has engaged in the following activities to promote the health of the community:Health FairsPhysicians and sports therapy staff at local sporting eventsCommuniuty Health improvement advocacyAssistance to enroll in Public medical porgrams (Financial Counselors)Ambulance/EMS staff at sporting eventsThe need to address health, wellness and prevention at a young age is prevalent in the nation, state and region. Bell Memorial Hospital is proposing addressing this through Bell Buddies Pediatric Wellness Initiative, a comprehensive program that utilizes educational presentations, activities and health assessments for youth, from infancy through high school. To maximize the outreach to at-risk youth, the hospital has partnered with four of the region's rural school districts: NICE Community Schools, Ishpeming Schools, Negaunee Schools, and Republic/ Michigamme Schools, which have a total enrollment of approximately 3,700 youth. As outlined in the letter of inquiry, Bell Buddies is based on three keystone strategies: outreach, education and assessment/treatment. Throughout the grant year, four wellness outreach activities focused on these strategies will be conducted at each of the school districts. Each activity is strategically placed to launch, reinforce and assess the Bell Buddies School Outreach. Launching a Healthy Lifestyle: Youth Wellness Fair - Beginning in September 2010, the Youth Wellness Coordinator and staff from the Bell Wellness department will implement an on-site Youth Wellness Fair at each partner school. Throughout the span of the 6 hour fair, age-specific cohorts will be brought to the gymnasium for attendance. The Bell Buddies Youth Wellness Fair is an opportunity to introduce and reinforce wellness and healthy lifestyles concepts and is conducted during the fall to generate interest and excitement in the year-long After School Program and create awareness of the In-Class Presentations. The Wellness Fair is envisioned as a way to highlight safety and wellness topics that include proper fitness, nutrition, dental care, hand washing, traffic safety, and the negative effects of smoking. Wellness staff will create a multi-disciplinary program that includes educational stations, as well as hands-on activities for fitness and nutrition. Designed to be placed along the perimeter of the gym, these activities will focus heavily on learning how to make healthy lifestyle choices; for instance, the fair will include 6-8 educational stations that focus on varied topics. Some examples include:1)Hand Washing: Students will rub Glitter Bug Lotion on their hands and proceed to wash them as normal and then be directed to a black light that identifies the places they missed and where germs still reside. Print materials on proper hand washing techniques and why it's important (exposure to flu strains, cold viruses and bacteria) will accompany the activity. 2)USDA MyPyramid: Students will have the opportunity to play MyPyramid bingo. This station will highlight the USDA website, and students will be made aware of both the food and activity pyramid for youth. Educational materials will include healthy snack options and ways to stay active.3)Choosing the Right Beverage: This station will compare drinking soda with water. Educational materials may include Fizzics of Soda educational packet and Wet your Whistle activity handbook. Students will also receive water bottles to reinforce the healthy choice. 4)Portion Sizes: This station will utilize portion distortion educational materials, as well as include an educationally enhanced Supersize Me DVD and portion size bingo. Educational materials will include simple ways to limit portion sizes and reduce overeating.5)Nutrition Labels: This station will focus on "demystifying" the nutrition label for each age group. Utilizing a Nutrition Label PowerPoint Presentation, information will highlight identifying proper nutritional components by assessing carbohydrates in comparison to sugars and fiber.6)Heart Rate Zones: Focusing on identifying heart rate as an indicator of physical activity, this station will use the Heart Rate Race Game and information on the correct training heart rate zones. The station will include heart rate monitors to test a students resting heart rate and identify the levels of fitness activity intensity. 7)Anatomy: This station will highlight educational materials including The Human Body Book, Marvelous Muscles Chart, as well as models of the heart and skeleton. This station will provide students with knowledge on how the body works and why it's important to make the right choices to stay healthy. Physical fitness activities will be included in the Youth Wellness Fair. Bell Wellness staff will create a fitness-based obstacle course in the center of the gym to provide cardio and strength activities, as well as additional areas that demonstrate the importance of stretching exercises. Wellness staff will be on-site to conduct fitness testing, which includes height and weight measurements, blood pressure, resting heart rate, body composition and girth measurements. Bell's body composition scale, which utilizes bio-electrical impedance analysis, may also be used. This will provide interested students with a body fat percentage, lean and fat mass, basal metabolic rate and overall weight. Students will have the opportunity to take this information home to their parents, included in a Bell Buddies Youth Wellness Guide that outlines Bell programs, information on healthy eating and physical activity, additional resources and contacts, and a notes section for individualized plans, goal setting and food/activity journals. Throughout the Wellness Fair, the Youth Wellness Coordinator will monitor the number of children attending, the desirability of each station, questions and comments from students and teachers and the overall flow of the fair. In addition, the fitness and knowledge testing will establish baseline data for individual students at the beginning of the year, which will provide an evaluation mechanism throughout the academic year and in the other School Outreach Programs.Reinforcing a Healthy Lifestyle: After School Program - The Bell Buddies After School Program expects to run during the academic year for two days per week, two hours per day, and at least 45 minutes of each session will be dedicated to physical activity. Each session will include structured exercise, movement games, skill building nutrition and other topics including anatomy and safety activities. Students will be provided important educational materials to reinforce healthy lifestyle choices.The Bell Buddies After School Program will run for approximately 28 weeks and a lessons schedule will be created. During the first week, students will learn about goal-setting and set their personal goals for the year. The schedule will include in-depth activities similar to the Wellness Fair, such as nutrition games, portion distortion, a healthy breakfast, how to identify a healthy snack, and a "Healthy Plate" lesson. The schedule will frame certain activities during specific timeframes: i.e. healthy Halloween options and a sugar lesson in October, healthy choices in the lunchroom, portion size lessons during Thanksgiving, healthy baking during Christmas holidays, hydration and sun protection during the summer, as well as ways to stay active, regardless of the season. The Youth Wellness Coordinator will continue to utilize the nutrition and physical education packets available for health centers and schools that were used in the Youth Wellness Fairs. Specifically, fitness programming will include a physical education starter package, an elementary rainy day play package, heart rate games and clever catch exercise balls. Activities will include obstacle courses, fitness games and group sports. Educational and activity-based sessions will increase knowledge of proper nutrition and physical activity and enhance physical skills.</OtherInformation>
