Costing Method UsedPart I, Line 7: Line 7a (Charity Care) - community benefit expense was calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges, calculated on Worksheet 2,against total charity care gross patient charges from the audited financial statements.Line 7b (Unreimbursed Medicaid) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under Medicaid and Medicaid managed care plans.Line 7c (Other Means-Tested Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under other means-tested government programs.Line 7g (Subsidized Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system. The expense relates to the inpatient behavioral health program.CostingMethodUsed

Bad Debt FootnotePart III, Line 4: The cost of bad debts reported in Part III, line 2 was calculated by applying a ratio of cost to charges (based on the organization's cost accounting system including all hospital inpatients and outpatients) against total patient bad debt net of recoveries as reported in the audited financial statements. The information needed to determine the amount that reasonably could be attributable to patients who likely would qualify for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care program was not available. The financial statements do not contain a footnote describing bad debt expense.If a patient is determined eligible for financial assistance, the appropriate adjustment is made to the patient account based on their income level. Once the necessary approvals are obtained, it then flows to the general ledger. Patients applying for a prompt payment discount will have this allowance entered after agreed upon payment is received.BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community BenefitPart III, Line 8: Line 6 - included all Medicare allowable costs as calculated in Worksheets D-1 Part II (inpatient) and D Part V (outpatient) of the hospital's 2010 Medicare cost report, based on Medicare costing principles. We believe the shortfall reported on line 20 should be treated as a community benefit because providing care for the elderly is a key component of our commitment to the community. Losses incurred in meeting that commitment should be allowable as a community benefit for tax reporting purposes.ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection PolicyPart III, Line 9b: For patients who are known to qualify for Charity Care or Financial Assistance: The patient may have requested assistance up front at time of service with a Financial Counselor or the Patient could have asked for assistance after receiving their bill by contacting our Patient Billing Services Representatives. The Financial Counselor will assist the patient in applying for the appropriate type of assistance based on their income and circumstances. Once approved for a State Medicaid or other program, all billing and collection activity will stop (except for required co-payments or deductibles).For all other patients, our statements contain information regarding how to apply for financial assistance. Notices concerning availability for assistance are also posted at patient care sites.DebtCollectionPolicy

Needs AssessmentPart VI, Line 2: Baystate Health completed a community health needs assessment in July 2010. During this assessment process information was gathered and reviewed from various community sources across several counties and Baystate Health's three hospitals and their respective service areas including the following: 1. Baystate Medical Center (BMC) and Hampden County; 2. Baystate Franklin Medical Center (BFMC) and Franklin County; 3. Baystate Mary Lane Hospital (BMLH) and Hampshire County and 13 Quaboag Hills communities.Baystate Health used the Association for Community Health Improvement's (ACHI) Community Health Assessment Toolkit to complete a thorough community health planning and needs assessment process. The toolkit included six core process steps and had a particular emphasis on community engagement. The six-step process included: 1. establishing the assessment infrastructure; 2. defining the purpose and scope; 3. collecting and analyzing data; 4. selecting priorities (included community engagement); 5. documenting and communicating results and 6. planning for action and monitoring progress.The FY2010 community needs assessment process gathered information and reviewed data from a number of sources, including the following: 1. Healthy People 2020 (formerly Healthy People 2010) indicators collected by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were major sources of data for community health needs assessment and planning information; 2. Massachusetts Department of Public Health, several of its websites, MassCHIP, and key MDPH staff provided county-level and locality-based data for municipal and neighborhood geographic areas; 3. morbidity and mortality data was drawn from Baystate Health's internal hospital discharge data and statewide data sources. This data, which generally includes reasons for hospitalization and length of stay, can contribute to measuring the burden and cost of illness and disability in the community; 4. both by internal and external respondents in the health care, human service and public health field and unaffiliated stakeholders (community residents) participated in focus groups; 5. hospital Community Benefits Advisory Council, hospital advisory board members, and local community coalitions and task forces played a key role in helping the hospital identify community health needs; 6. existing community needs assessment data (United Way, Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, and Community Action Programs) was included in this assessment; 7. surveys of community stakeholders - expert testimony and resident (lay) opinions - were used to identify and prioritize community health needs.Baystate Franklin Medical Center's needs assessment community partners included the Community Development Corporation, DIAL/SELF, Early Childhood Collaborative, Food Bank of Western MA, Franklin County Community Action Program, Franklin County Community Health Center, Franklin County Home Care, Franklin Regional Council of Governments (COG), Greenfield Community College, Interfaith Council, Montague Catholic Ministries, MotherWoman, School Nurses Association, Service Net, Superintendent of Schools, TRIAD - Jail program, United Way, and YMCA of Greenfield.The ranking and prioritization process and development of target populations was based on input from several sources including surveys of community stakeholders, focus groups of key constituents and key internal and external community member interviews. The needs assessment was a balanced and comprehensive community perspective reflecting the values and experiences of both health care providers and experts and resident opinions in ranking and prioritizing community needs.Four broad health priorities were subjected to ranking and prioritization. Polling of key participant organizations and a variety of other discussions resulted in the following health priorities and target populations. Baystate Franklin Medical Center's health priorities include: 1. promoting wellness of vulnerable populations; 2. reducing racial and ethnic health disparities; 3. chronic disease management in disadvantaged populations; and 4. supporting health care reform.Baystate Franklin Medical Center's target populations include: public school students throughout Franklin County; teachers seeking to enhance their science curriculum via hands-on learning in health care applications; homebound seniors at greater risk for medication management challenges and for falls or other injuries; low-income and obese community members at high-risk of developing diabetes; persons dealing with chronic diseases and other health challenges, for whom sharing the experience with peers has been proven beneficial to long-term health outcomes; and access to care issues with a targeted focus on uninsured or underinsured residents of our communities.NeedsAssessment
Patient Education AssistancePart VI, Line 3: Baystate Franklin Medical Center (BFMC) is committed to ensuring that patients in its community have access to quality health care services with fairness and respect without regard to the patients' ability to pay. BFMC recognizes that the cost of necessary health care services can impose a significant financial burden on patients who are uninsured or underinsured and acts affirmatively to lessen that burden by offering patients in need the opportunity to apply for free or reduced cost services. BFMC not only offers free and reduced cost care to the financially needy as required by law, but has also voluntarily established discount and financial assistance programs that provide additional free and reduced cost care to more patients residing within the communities served by BFMC.Baystate Franklin Medical Center recognizes that the billing and collection process can be bewildering and burdensome for patients and has implemented procedures to make the process understandable for patients; to inform patients about discount and financial assistance options; and to ensure that patients are not subject to aggressive collection activities. Consistent with its patient commitment BFMC is required to maintain a credit and collection policy that reflects its patient billing and collection procedures and complies with applicable state and federal laws and regulations.Baystate Franklin Medical Center has Financial Counselors available to help patients apply for available financial assistance programs that may cover unpaid hospital bills, including a variety of federal and state programs as well as financial assistance through Baystate Franklin Medical Center. BFMC is committed to ensuring that patients or prospective patients in the community are aware of financial assistance programs. For uninsured or underinsured patients, BFMC will assist in applying for available financial assistance programs. To assist patients the hospital provides all patients with a general notice of the availability of programs in both the initial bill sent to patients as well as in general notices posted throughout the hospital.The goal of these notices is to assist patients in applying for coverage within a financial assistance program. When applicable, BFMC also assists patients in applying for coverage of services as a Medical Hardship based on the patient's documented income and allowable medical expenses. BFMC provides, upon request, specific information about the eligibility process to be a Low Income Patient under either the Massachusetts Health Safety Net Program or additional assistance for patients who are low income through BFMC's own internal financial assistance program. BFMC also notifies patients about available payment plans based on their family size and income.Signs are posted around the hospital to notify patients of the availability of financial assistance programs. Signs are clearly visible in the hospital's service area: they are 8.5 x 11 inches and the Header print font is 32 pts. Notice of availability of financial assistance programs are posted in the following locations; inpatient, clinic, emergency department admissions and/or registration areas, central admission/registration area, patient financial counselor areas and business office areas that are open to patients.Baystate Franklin Medical Center's Credit and Collection Policy was developed in partnership with Health Care For All, a Massachusetts non-profit organization dedicated to making adequate and affordable health care accessible to everyone, regardless of income, social or economic status.PatientEducationAssistance
Community InformationPart VI, Line 4: Baystate Franklin Medical Center (BFMC) is located in Greenfield, Massachusetts, the county seat of rural Franklin County. Its service area also includes parts of rural northwestern Worcester County, referred to as the North Quabbin Region.The BFMC service area encompasses a large rural area of over 880 square miles inhabited by 86,871 people (US Census, America Communities Survey, 2009). The community consists of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Community Health Network Area (CHNA 2 Upper Valley Health) and is comprised of the following 30 towns: Ashfield, Athol, Bernardston, Buckland, Charlemont, Colrain, Conway, Deerfield, Erving, Gill, Greenfield, Hawley, Heath, Leverett, Leyden, Monroe, Montague, New Salem, Northfield, Orange, Petersham, Phillipston, Rowe, Royalston, Shelburne, Shutesbury, Sunderland, Warwick, Wendell and Whately.The average family income is very low and the BFMC service area is one of the poorest regions in the state. According to the 2010 Census, the population of Franklin County is 94% white. From 1990 to 2009, the proportion of Latinos in the population of Franklin County grew from 1.2% to 2.8%, a 133% increase. The proportion of Franklin County residents who are Asian doubled between 1990 and 2000, and then stabilized. The Latino members of our community are primarily of Mexican and Puerto Rican origin. The median age for Franklin County is 40, which is slightly higher than the median age for the Commonwealth: approximately 37. Eighty-eight percent of County residents over 25 have a high school degree or higher compared with almost 85% for the Commonwealth. Approximately 29% of the County have a bachelor's degree or higher compared with 33% for the Commonwealth. The poverty rates in the County range from 3% in Whately to almost 22% in Monroe. The American Community Survey from 2006-2008 estimates median household income for Franklin County as $51,102 compared with $64,684 in Massachusetts. In Franklin County, 15.5% of the population aged 0 - 17 were living in poverty compared with 12.6% for Massachusetts and 18.2% for the United States. Almost 40% of the housing in the County was built before 1939, a far higher percentage than the statewide rate of 13%. Of the 30 towns in the BFMC service region, seven have a population of under 1,000, 13 have a population of between 1,000 and 2,000, and two have a population of between 2,000 and 3,000. To summarize, the region has more Caucasian residents, is slightly older, slightly less well-educated, and has older housing than the state as a whole. Because it is a very large, rural region, BFMC has pockets of great poverty and a growing immigrant population that are not apparent from these statistics.The 26-towns of Franklin County cover 727 square miles and have a population of 71,826 people (U.S. Census, American Communities Survey 2009). With a population density of 98.7 people per square mile it is the most rural county in Massachusetts. The towns of Greenfield, Orange and Montague (pop. 13,761, pop. 7,518 and pop. 8,489 respectively) make up nearly 40% of the Franklin County's population. The four Worcester County towns in the North Quabbin area are anchored by the town of Athol (pop. 11,827). In the past, these population centers were the "mill towns" of the region, supported by textiles and light manufacturing and surrounded by small farming communities. In the last thirty years the manufacturing base of the region has dissipated. Over the last three decades, Massachusetts has experienced a technology-based economic boom that completely bypassed the western part of the state. Unfortunately, the residents of the BFMC 30-town community now suffer an economic downturn that has not bypassed them. Nationwide and in Massachusetts, poverty rates are higher in rural areas than in metropolitan areas. Rural-based adults have less formal schooling, and a greater share derive their livelihood from low-skill, low-wage jobs. The lower population density in our rural community makes it much more difficult to have all support services -- public transportation, education and job training, child care, emergency services, and health and mental health care -- available and easily accessible. Much of BFMC service area has Medically Underserved Area or Population (MUA/P) designation from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) while the major towns have Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designation.Perinatal and child indicators in the BFMC service area are similar to state-wide indicators. Infectious disease indicators in the BFMC service area indicate that pertussis is a public health issue that needs to be addressed. Chronic disease indicators in the BFMC service area indicate that persons die of cancer and cardiovascular disease prematurely in the community at a higher rate than rest of the state. In the BFMC service area there is a higher rate of discharges for bacterial pneumonia in comparison to the rest of the state, while the community fares better than the state in the area of asthma and angina. The BFMC service area is similar to the rest of the state in meeting Healthy People 2010 Chronic Disease Objectives and fares considerably better in meeting objectives related to reducing asthma hospitalizations. The BFMC service area is similar to the rest of the state in meeting Healthy People 2010 Maternal Child Health Objectives.CommunityInformation
