Annual Community Benefit Expln	Piedmont Healthcare, Inc. (Piedmont Hospital's sole member) prepares a written community benefit report which contains the community benefit report for Piedmont Hospital. This report is made available to the public.	AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln
Costing Method Used	A ratio of patient care cost to charges, consistent with Worksheet 2, was used to report the amounts in Part I, lines 7a-7d. For amounts on lines 7a-7k actual expenses for each community benefit activity are traced and reported using the organization's cost accounting system.	CostingMethodUsed
Percent Of Total Expense Expln	The denominator used for the calculation of total expense was the amount on Form 990, Part IX, line 25, column (A) less bad debt expense of $28,021,513.	PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt Footnote	THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT 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 DEBT TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES.	BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community Benefit	THE METHOD USED IS THE METHOD USED TO PREPARE THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. The hospital believes that all of the $21.4 million shortfall should be considered as community benefit. The IRS Community Benefit Standard includes the provision of care to the elderly and Medicare patients. Medicare shortfalls must be absorbed by the hospital in order to continue treating the elderly in our community. This year, Medicare accounted for 40.7% of hospital revenues. The hospital provides care regardless of this shortfall and thereby relieves the federal government of the burden of paying the full cost for Medicare beneficiaries. Caring for Medicare patients fulfills a community need and relieves a government burden as these patients typically have low and/or fixed incomes. Medicare does not provide sufficient reimbursement to cover the cost of providing care for these patients and that shortfall of $21.4 million should be counted as community benefit. Our state requires non-profit hospitals to provide a minimal level of community benefit in order to obtain exemption from state and local taxes. According to our state law, the unreimbursed cost of Medicare is considered to be community benefit - that amount was $21.4 million. Medicare shortfall should be considered a community benefit because our mission is to promote health in the community and we do not limit the care available to any patients, including those covered by Medicare. We are relieving a government burden by providing care to Medicare patients even though costs exceed reimbursements by $21.4 million. Tax exempt hospitals are expected to participate in the Medicare program. For many of the medical services provided by the hospital, Medicare does not provide sufficient reimbursement to cover the cost of providing care to the patients forcing the hospital to use other funds to cover the deficit of $21.4 million.	ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection Policy	Financial Assistance Policy Purpose: Piedmont Hospitals seek to treat all patients equitably, with dignity, with respect and with compassion. To ensure continued service to all patients, Piedmont Hospitals have a responsibility to seek payment from those patients who have the ability to pay. However, Piedmont Hospitals understand that certain patients may not be able to pay their hospital bills due to unfortunate financial circumstances. Piedmont Hospitals will therefore assist patients who cannot pay for all or part of their care and will balance financial assistance to such patients with the Hospitals' responsibilities to remain viable health care providers for the community. Piedmont Hospitals will provide Indigent Care, Charity Care and Catastrophic Charity Care in keeping with the procedures described below. In order for Piedmont Hospitals to apply these policies and procedures fairly and consistently, patients and their families have a duty to help Piedmont Hospitals qualify them for the appropriate level or type of financial assistance given their specific circumstances. Piedmont Hospitals remain committed to serving the emergency needs of all patients, regardless of ability to pay, as required by law. Definitions: 1. Indigent Care - Indigent care is available when the family incomes of a patient and any Guarantor are both equal to or less than 125% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines. See attached Financial Assistance Determination Grid. 2. Charity Care - Charity Care is available when the family incomes of a patient and any Guarantor are both in excess of 125% and lower than 250% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines. See attached Financial Assistance Determination Grid. 3. Catastrophic Charity Care - Catastrophic Charity Care is available when the family income of a patient and/or Guarantor exceeds 125% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines and, after any payments from third parties, the patient liability exceeds 25% of the family's annual incomes. See attached Financial Assistance Determination Grid. 4. Family Income - The combined income of all adults within the household. 5. Co-payments and deductibles - The amount determined by the patient's insurance policy as being due from the patient and any Guarantor. This amount is normally a required payment due from the patient or Guarantor by contract. 6. Guarantor - Individual other than the patient who is responsible for payment of the patient's bill. 7. Private Liability - Private Liability is the amount owed by the patient and any guarantor after application of all insurance benefits. IF the person is a pure self-pay patient it is the entire balance. 8. Pure Self-Pay - Pure self-pay exists when neither a patient nor any Guarantor has any insurance coverage available and must pay the hospital account from his or her own funds. Eligibility: Indigent, Charity and Catastrophic Charity Care discounts as described above are available to eligible persons receiving emergent and/or urgent treatment but unable to pay for the services. Indigent, Charity and Catastrophic Charity Care discounts do not apply to elective, cosmetic, or non-life threatening procedures. Patients that are insured but will incur a large out-of-pocket balance due will be considered provided they meet the Indigent or Charity guidelines set forth herein. The application must be completed in its entirety and any requested back-up documentation is considered part of the application. An application may be considered valid for up to six months. The patient/guarantor may still be asked to verify income on an application within that six-month time frame. .Eligibility for indigent or charity status must be approved for each spell of illness. If denied eligibility you may re-apply after thirty days or if your status has changed prior to the thirty days. In addition to the manual application, Piedmont Healthcare will use in place of or as a supplement to the hardcopy application the Search America products Payment Advisor and Charity Advisor to identify Indigent and Charity eligible accounts. The Hospital may still need supporting documentation and ask that the paper application be submitted with specific income and/or expense back-up documentation. In any case in which a patient, together with any Guarantor, appears to possess insufficient income or resources to pay any Private Liability, the patient or such Guarantor may request financial assistance consideration based on a determination that they meet the Indigent, Charity, or Catastrophic Charity Care guidelines set forth herein. Determination of the amount of an Indigent, Charity or Catastrophic Charity Care adjustment is based upon an individual review of each case. Piedmont Hospitals will take into account factors such as unavailability of assets, loss of employment, an income level inadequate to meet the charges incurred, subsequent illness or death, family obligations, imprisonment, and other circumstances in determining the percentage (if any) of an account to be adjusted. Financial counselors shall be reasonably available at Piedmont Hospitals to provide financial counseling, which includes providing assistance with the Financial Assistance Application. The Financial Assistance Application must be completed in its entirety and any requested back-up documentation is considered part of the application. If denied eligibility, a person may re-apply after thirty days or at any time upon a change in status. Income Verification: All applicants must provide proof of household income by providing any or all of the following that are applicable: a) Pay stub b) Most current Income Tax Return c) W-2 withholding form d) Unemployment receipts e) Unemployment denial letter f) Government agency letter g) Notarized letter from person(s) attesting to the income status providing financial support of the applicant For the purposes of determining financial eligibility for the Indigent and Charity program, income includes all monies received before taxes from all sources, including but not limited to estate payments, net rental income, alimony, military family allotments, employee pensions or retirement plans, military retirement pay, veteran's payments, self-employment income, royalties, social security payments, railroad retirements, unemployment compensation, regular insurance or annuity payments, interest income, private pensions, workers compensation benefits and employment wages. In the absence of a hard copy application and proof of the income levels, the SearchAmerica Payment Advisor and Charity Advisor will also qualify as proof of income. The Hospital may still need supporting documentation and ask that the paper application be submitted with specific income and/or expense back-up documentation. Income does not include Medicare, Medicaid, Food stamps, heat assistance funds, school lunches or housing assistance, capital gains, employer-paid or union-paid portion of health insurance or other employee fringe benefits, food or housing received in lieu of wages, gifts, loans, need-based assistance from non-profit organizations, child support or foster care payments, compensation for injury or disaster relief assistance. Procedure: 1. Physicians desiring indigent, charity, or catastrophic charity care consideration for a patient can direct these patients to the attention of the hospital's Financial Counselors. The hospital's Financial Counselors are available to speak with these patients prior to, during, or after a patient's admission to the hospital. 2. Patients desiring indigent, charity, or catastrophic charity care assistance will be referred to the hospital's Financial Counselors. This may happen prior to, during, or after a patient's admission. A completed Financial Assistance Application and/or the SearchAmerica application and data will be required for the hospital to make a determination on assistance. 3. Requests for charity care will be evaluated based on the financial guidelines described in this policy. 4. Approved charity consideration will be applicable to the patient's current episode of care with the hospital and those visits in the subsequent six months. 5. Approved charity consideration will be applicable only to the charges of Piedmont Hospital, Piedmont Fayette Hospital, Piedmont Mountainside Hospital and Newnan Hospital. The hospital cannot make any financial arrangements for the charges of any private physician practices and patients will need to make payment arrangements directly with these physician practices. 6. Non-citizens of the US without a permanent visa are not excluded from receiving financial assistance. 7. Emergency Department Admissions - hospital's financial counselors may consider self-pay patients admitted through the hospital's emergency room for charity care. 8. Out Patient Testing areas will have available and pass out Financial Assistance Applications during the registration process to Pure Self-pay (Financial Class	DebtCollectionPolicy

Program Services	Form 990 Part III Program Service Accomplishments	The top three Piedmont Hospital Service Lines for FY 2010 were Cardiovascular, Transplant, and Orthopedic Services. The remaining Program Service Revenues and expenses consist of other Inpatient and Outpatient Service Lines for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Community Benefit Report - Piedmont Hospital	Form 990 PArt III Community Benefit	About Piedmont Hospital: A private, not-for-profit organization with over 4,000 employees and a medical staff of over 900 physicians, Piedmont Hospital is a 481-bed acute tertiary care facility located on 26 acres in the North Atlanta community of Buckhead. It offers all major medical, surgical and diagnostic services. Free Skin Cancer Screening Saves Lives Angela Green knew for years that she had a suspicious spot on her lower back. Even when it grew last year from a freckle to a quarter-size lesion that bled, she still ignored it. You see, Green was unemployed and uninsured so she assumed she couldn't afford treatment. "I was watching 'The Dr. Oz Show' and I learned that May was free cancer screening month," Green said, "so I went with a friend to get it checked out." Jodi Ganz, M.D., a dermatologist at Piedmont Hospital, performed the visual examination with proper lighting and a magnifier. "Each year, a group of doctors and I screen as many people as we can-as many as 200 people in May," she said. "We educate them about skin care and distribute free sunscreen. While we hope that no one has melanoma, a few usually do." Dr. Ganz was concerned with that large, deep spot so she arranged for it to be biopsied and diagnosed at no charge. Green had a very thick melanoma which was likely to metastasize. The diagnosis was devastating, made even worse by her financial situation. The highest cure rate for melanoma is surgical intervention so Dr. Ganz referred Green to Scott Davidson, M.D., a surgical oncologist at Piedmont Hospital. "I knew I was at risk since I used tanning beds as a teen and my mom died from ovarian cancer," Green said. "I was determined to do whatever it took to beat this." Dr. Davidson removed the tumor from Green's back and the lymph nodes in her left armpit and both groins to see if it had spread to those lymph nodes. Fortunately, it had not. A tube in her back drained the fluids for three weeks. Because Green qualified as a charity case, the expenses were written off. "Uninsured patients will not always seek medical attention because they fear high medical bills," said Dr. Davidson. "It's very rewarding to see a patient in need and look her in the eyes and let her know we will take care of her." "It's important to know how to be safe in the sun and get regular screenings based on your risk factors, like skin tone, family history, and sun exposure history," said Dr. Ganz. "These free screenings, supported by Piedmont Hospital and the American Academy of Dermatology, are often the first time people think about skin cancer." "I'm feeling fine and will continue to get regular checkups to stay that way," Green said. "I'm so grateful for this program and my life." Making Sense of the Health Insurance Puzzle It can be a nightmare to navigate the As, Bs and Cs of Medicare, Medigap, Medicaid, long-term care insurance and prescription drug assistance programs. Sixty Plus Older Adult Services program specialist Anita Richards helps Piedmont Hospital patients and employees make sense of the health insurance puzzle. Richards is a volunteer of GeorgiaCares, the Georgia State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) administered by the Georgia Department of Human Services Division of Aging Services. This volunteer-based program provides free, unbiased information and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers. Not all plans cover all medications and coverage can change. "We are pretty savvy people and still find the Plan D process to be overwhelming," said Winship Durrett, a retired Piedmont nurse and a contributor to Sixty Plus. Durrett and her husband, Bill, consult with Richards every year regarding their healthcare plan options. "Anita is a God-send. We make a list of all our current medications-brand and generic-and then Anita researches all the available plans and recommends the ones that are most cost-effective. She is so patient and thorough. We don't know what we would do without her." This service helps patients stay compliant with their medication. "As a retired nurse, I know how common and dangerous it is for older adults to stop taking necessary drugs because they cannot afford them," Durrett said. "They need an advocate." "All of this is done with the help of Sixty Plus," said Richards. "Sixty Plus allows me to be that conduit that is needed to connect older adults with programs they may not be aware of." In addition to helping patients choose the right plan, the Medicare insurance assistance program also helps people with Medigap, long-term care insurance, Medicaid and prescription drug assistance information. Another service helps patients better understand how their care is provided and coordinated. "The hospital experience keeps changing and, in many ways, is very different than it was years ago," said Sixty Plus director Nancy Morrison, M.Ed. "We offer informational sessions and materials throughout the community to enhance our consumers' healthcare experience when they visit the emergency department, hospital and their physicians' offices." Sixty Plus Older Adult Services helped more than 5,000 adults and family members in 2010. Cancer Wellness Programs Massage and nutrition are two free core programs at Cancer Wellness at Piedmont Hospital. Chair massages for patients help lower stress and improve immune functioning while reducing pain and anxiety. "Many patients have a difficult time finding a therapist in the community who has knowledge of special issues created by cancer and cancer treatment and may not be comfortable treating them," said Carolyn Helmer, LCSW, manager of Cancer Wellness at Piedmont. "We offer this service for free to anyone in the Atlanta area affected by cancer." Another free Cancer Wellness service is nutrition counseling for cancer survivors during and after treatment to assist with preventing or correcting nutrition deficiencies, minimizing side effects from cancer treatment, improving their ability to tolerate treatment, and bolster their immune system for ongoing recovery. Pink Heals When Lisa Vingerling was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in 2008 at the age of 30, she received all her treatment at Piedmont Hospital. Recognizing a need for a cancer support group for young women, Vingerling met with Carolyn Helmer at Cancer Wellness and created Pink Heals Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. "At Cancer Wellness, they have so many great programs like yoga and drumming," said Vingerling. "All free to cancer patients. Who knew that cancer had benefits?" Vingerling continued, "I wanted to do something specifically for women like me. When a woman gets cancer, it's like a sorority you don't want to join but, once you're in it, you might as well make the best of it. We don't focus on cancer and rehash our stories. It's about being whole and healthy and getting on with our lives to that 'new normal.'" Pink Heals features Salsa classes and motivational speakers, and experts on travel, photography and cooking. "We remind women that they have so much life to enjoy." In addition to ongoing support from Piedmont Hospital, Pink Heals events are hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue and Dior. "I've gotten to see the compassionate, generous side of people," she said.
Community Benefit Report - Piedmont Hospital	Form 990 PArt III Community Benefit Continued	Why Pink Heals? "When I was going through chemo," Vingerling explained, "I wanted to cheer myself up so I would walk around in my pajamas and high heels." She said she reserved the name and website address, www.pinkheals.org, even before she knew what she would do with it. Chemoflage Meetings Help Empower Women Going Through Chemotherapy Have you heard the story of the woman who looked in the mirror and saw she only had three strands of hair? She braided it and had a good day. The next day, she only had two strands so she parted it down the middle and had a good day. The next day, she only had one strand so she put it in a ponytail and had a good day. On the fourth day, she had no hair and thought, "Thank goodness I don't have to worry about my hair today!" That's how vibrant breast cancer survivor Cookie Aftergut begins each meeting of Chemoflage, an educational program she established in 2006 for women undergoing chemotherapy. The meetings take place twice a month and alternate between Cancer Wellness at Piedmont and Nordstrom at Perimeter Mall. Healthcare professionals and community volunteers offer advice on combatting the effects of chemotherapy through nutrition, relaxation and visualization techniques, fashion and make-up. The small, intimate setting of the meetings-typically 10 to 15 women per group-encourages the women to bond and share their fears and experiences with others. "When I was going through chemotherapy, there wasn't much information out there. I didn't even know what questions to ask, let alone who to ask," Aftergut said. "There are so many things to consider that many of us learned the hard way. For example, after chemotherapy, I noticed my nose was running and my eyes were watery. Allergy medications didn't help. Then it dawned on me that I had no nose hair and eyelashes and that's why. So, now I share that revelation with others." Then there's the importance of thoroughly washing fruits and vegetables to avoid infections because of a compromised immune system. And that chemobrain-short-term memory loss and difficulty concentrating-is a real issue that usually subsides after treatment is complete. "I tell women to use it as an excuse for why they can't remember someone's name," she said with a laugh. "We advise them not to skip any medication doses, especially anti-nausea drugs; to use child-sized toothbrushes that are gentler on sensitive teeth; and to counter the metallic taste of food by eating with plastic utensils." More than 600 women have attended a Chemoflage program. "We love meeting at Cancer Wellness and appreciate Piedmont's ongoing support," she said. "It's a lovely facility and it gives us an opportunity to introduce women to so many of the other valuable resources there." Like many cancer survivors, Aftergut sees the blessings in her journey. "For 61 years, I existed. Since cancer, I am fully living. It's like, before cancer, I don't think the birds knew where I lived. Now, I take great joy in hearing their sweet songs in my garden. It's an honor to help women who are scared. I've been there and I'm okay, and they'll be okay too." Dinner with Friends at Cancer Wellness Spanish-speaking patients and their families who are affected by blood cancers have a place to call their own at Cancer Wellness at Piedmont Hospital. The Atlanta Hispanic/Latino Family Support Group, known as Cena con Amigos (Dinner with Friends), meets monthly for support, information and connection. Dinner is served since many members travel there from throughout the state. Sponsored by the Georgia Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Piedmont provides the space, an art therapist and supplies. Nurses, counselors and social workers from around Atlanta volunteer. "There is so much fear, confusion and lack of access to information, care and services within this underserved population," said Rosalinda Ramirez, Ph.D., the patient services manager for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and a clinical psychologist. "Many tell me this is the first time they have had someone to talk to." While the adults meet, the young patients, their siblings and children of patients can express their emotions in a safe, creative environment through pediatric art therapy. "We've found that this therapy helps reduce fear and anger and resolve sibling problems," she said. "Many of the young patients are teased and ostracized at school because they look different. Here, they get to meet other children like them and they don't feel so alone." Cynthia Tatis was 18 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Once in remission a year later, she and her family began attending meetings. "I felt like I was okay, but my parents really needed to speak with other Hispanic parents who had been through this," she said. "My brother, Joshua, also came to show his support. Rosalinda does an amazing job of making us all feel safe and welcome. I was the youngest of the adult patients and the most positive and upbeat. I felt like I gave others hope." She continues to come to meetings where she speaks and also mentors through the First Connection peer-to-peer mentoring program. "It's really cool," she said. "A cancer patient or survivor can request a match through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and, if I am chosen, I answer their questions or just hear them out. There's such a roller coaster of emotions, and I reassure them that it will be okay. It feels good to be on the other side of it." Tatis is in college where she is studying to be an interpreter. "My goal is to work for a government organization that educates and supports the Hispanic community," she said. "I know from my experience with Cena con Amigos that the need is great and there is so much good that comes from it." The Mercer Family Therapy Center Provides Low-cost Support Families, couples and individuals in the Atlanta area who can't afford to pay typical therapy fees now have a place to turn. Advanced students from Mercer University School of Medicine's Family Therapy Graduate Program, under the close supervision of the Marriage and Family Therapy faculty, provide low-cost outpatient counseling services to the community. Piedmont contributes operational funding for the Center for Health and Learning, a partnership between Piedmont Healthcare and Mercer University formed in 2005 to create innovative solutions to today's challenging healthcare dilemmas. "The center has been instrumental in helping the Mercer Marriage and Family Therapy program develop relationships within the Piedmont system to benefit patients who wish to access these counseling services on the Piedmont campus," said Sharon Nieb, executive director at the Center for Health and Learning. The Mercer Family Therapy Center addresses a wide range of issues, including abuse, addiction, depression, divorce prevention/recovery, grief and parent-child relationship stress. "Piedmont recognizes the importance of addressing the psycho-social ramifications of illness," said Robyn L. Mowery, Ph.D., LMFT, assistant professor and clinical director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program. "We help patients and their families cope with the diagnosis and progression of illness, whether it's acute, chronic or terminal." Patients pay as little as $5 a session, based on a sliding scale determined by household income and family size. Marriage and Family Therapy faculty also work in partnership with Piedmont Hospital staff to support their success. For example, members of the faculty consult with Piedmont administration on unit staff issues and provide support, debriefing and training services for Piedmont's clinical staff. "We look forward to another exciting year of collaboration with Piedmont staff and patients," said Steve Livingston, Ph.D., LMFT, program director and associate professor of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program. "This program provides an excellent learning environment for our students and service opportunities for our faculty."
Community Benefit Report - Piedmont Hospital	Form 990 PArt III Community Benefit Continued	The Count Me In Program Employees of the Piedmont Healthcare family know that charity begins at home. They joined forces again in fiscal year 2010 on the Count Me In employee giving campaign. This program raises money to benefit the community, fellow employees and Piedmont patients. With Piedmont Mountainside Hospital and Piedmont Newnan Hospital joining Piedmont Hospital and Piedmont Fayette Hospital in the campaign, employee participants and dollars raised grew by 30 percent. There were 1,568 people who donated $293,070. Contributions are designated to support three resources: United Way; Piedmont Sharing Club, which helps staff whose families need support; and selected direct funds within Piedmont Healthcare. Gregory A. Hurst, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Piedmont Healthcare, served as the chair and worked with the Piedmont Philanthropy team. They recruited more than 100 ambassadors who helped make the campaign a success. "Employee giving at Piedmont Healthcare is a testament to those closest to our organization not only living the Piedmont Promise, but also investing in it," said Hurst. "The generosity of our employees shows they believe in the Piedmont mission and support its success." Community Leader Quote: "Every year, Piedmont Hospital helps us plan and implement a health fair for Latinos in Atlanta.
