X X X We use the assets test in order to determine the amount of free/discounted care. We required pay stubs for patient & spouse, last year's tax return, social security award letter if employed. If unemployed, we require food stamp approval/denial, unemployment approval/denial and last year's tax return. We also require the patient to submit a Financial Information Form showing bills, bank accounts, and any other support they may be receiving to determine if they are eligible for charity care. Our community benefit report for FY 2010 was prepared by Vivante Group, LLC with the assistance of our corporate office. Our total expense from Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A) was $14,869,917. The bad debt expense included in this amount was $1,323,991. This left a total expense of $13,545,926 for purposes of calculating Line 7, Column (F). The hospital reports patient accounts receivable for services rendered at net realizable amounts from government payers, managed care plans, patients and others. Amounts due from patients include both amounts due from fully uninsured patients and co-payments and deductibles for which insured patients are responsible. A service to the patient, the hospital 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. The hospital provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from payers' inability to make payments on accounts. The hospital estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts are considered delinquent, and subsequently written off as bad debts, based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the account, estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables. The Medicare shortfall was computed using the annual Medicare cost report for the period 11/01/09 thru 10/31/10. Our patients are sent a letter from the centralized business office informing them their balance due and that there are programs available for assistance. These accounts are reviewed by a vendor and the patients are then contacted regarding charity or financial assistance programs they may qualify for until they are either approved, denied or do not comply with the requirements for assistance. As stated in our FY 2010 Community Benefits Plan, "As a not-for-profit hospital, part of YCH's mission is to engage in community benefit activities to improve the health status of the community as a whole. These activities are based on a specific community wide assessment of need using a variety of sources including discussions with leaders of community organizations, state and community data and hospital admission and ER trends." We have a copy of our charity care policy posted on our hospital website and have a Cardon Healthcare eligibility consultant on site who will screen all customers who are self pay for all programs they may be eligible for. Our insured customers are also referred to the eligibility consultant if they are not able to set up financial arrangements after they are moved to being self pay. We have signs posted in our registration area stating "YCH provides financial assistance through our charity or indigent programs to those who qualify. See registration clerk for more information." Our billing statements also have contact information for customers who cannot pay the claim in full to call to discuss more payment options. Yoakum Community Hospital is centrally located approximately 200 miles from San Antonio & Houston. Our service area covers approximately 2000 square miles and approximately 40,000 people (Dewitt & Lavaca Counties combined). The entire population of Lavaca and Dewitt counties is classified as medically underserved. YCH serves Health Service Region 8. YCH hold various activities to promote health care to our community.
