PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES ARE RECORDED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNT AND DO NOT BEAR INTEREST. THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS THE HOSPITAL'S BEST ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT OF PROBABLE CREDIT LOSSES IN THE HOSPITAL'S EXISTING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THE HOSPITAL HAS ESTIMATED THE ALLOWANCE BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION RATES. THE HOSPITAL REVIEWS THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS PERIODICALLY. ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE AFTER ALL MEANS OF COLLECTION HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED AND THE POTENTIAL FOR RECOVERY IS CONSIDERED REMOTE.**THIS FOOTNOTE DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR NORTHERN WESTCHESTER HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES FOR 2010.

THE HOSPITAL OPERATES AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT THAT IS OPEN 24/7 TO ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF ONE'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE MEDICAL STAFF IS OPEN TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS WITHIN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA. FINALLY, THE HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN THE MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED HEALTH PROGRAMS. TO PROVIDE READILY ACCESSIBLE, STATE-OF-THE-ART AND HIGHEST QUALITY CARE POSSIBLE TO ALL PATIENTS, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS EMBRACED THE NEED TO SUBSIDIZE THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED HEALTH PROGRAMS. THEREFORE, SIMILAR TO THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF CARE PROVIDED TO MEDICAID COVERED PATIENTS, THE SHORTFALL ATTRIBUTABLE TO MEDICARE COVERED PATIENTS IS A MEASURE OF THE BENEFIT THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES TO ITS COMMUNITY.

PART VI, LINE 2: NEEDS ASSESSMENTCOMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS ENABLE US TO COMBINE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF A BROADER NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS. IN ADDITION TO COLLABORATING WITH OUR STELLARIS HEALTH PARTNERS, NWH WORKS WITH THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, LOCAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS TO ASSESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.

AGING COUNCIL- SPEARHEADED BY NWH, THIS GROUP INCLUDES COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING PROGRAMS FOR THE AGING POPULATION.
PART VI, LINE 3: ELIGIBILTY FOR ASSISTANCENORTHERN WESTCHESTER HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO PROVIDING ACCESS TO ALL SEGMENTS OF ITS COMMUNITY IS A ROBUST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES AN ACTIVE COMMUNICATION PLAN, GUIDELINES THAT EXCEED MANDATES, AND READILY AVAILABLE MULTILINGUAL FINANCIAL COUNSELORS. TO COMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM, NWH PROVIDES A MULTILINGUAL PATIENT NAVIGATOR PROGRAM THAT ASSISTS PATIENTS RECEIVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT NWH, AS WELL AS HELPING THESE SAME PATIENTS IN SECURING SERVICES PROVIDED OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL. RECENT ENHANCEMENTS TO THIS PROGRAM FOCUSED ON EDUCATING OUR FRONT-LINE REGISTRATION STAFF ON THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMING UNINSURED PATIENTS ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL'S SELF-PAY BILLING PROCESS INCLUDES DISCUSSIONS WITH PATIENTS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM, AND AS A PROXY MEASUREMENT OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO ITS COMMUNITY, THE HOSPITAL TRACKS CHARITY CARE PROVIDED THROUGH ITS FORMAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL WRITE-OFFS (CHARITY CARE PLUS BAD DEBTS). IN 2010, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDED $11.9 MILLION IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE, OF WHICH 68% WAS CHARITY CARE, UP FROM 59.2% IN 2009. FOR 2011 THE HOSPITAL HAS SET A GOAL OF 70%. THIS MEASURE, ALONG WITH A FORMAL CHARITY CARE REPORT IS PRESENTED ANNUALLY TO THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

WE SEEK TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE HEALING AND WELLNESS. ANNUALLY, NWH FILES A COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN WITH THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OUTLINES THE HOSPITAL'S IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS, AND ITS PROGRESS ON MEETING THOSE NEEDS. NORTHERN WESTCHESTER HOSPITAL'S 'COMMUNITY' IS DEFINED AS THE TEN TOWNS/VILLAGES IN THE IMMEDIATE RADIUS SURROUNDING THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL'S BROADER 'REGION' INCLUDES THOSE ADDITIONAL TOWNS/VILLAGES LOCATED TO THE NORTH INTO PUTNAM COUNTY AND TO THE EAST TOWARDS THE HUDSON RIVER BORDER OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY. THE 'COMMUNITY' AND 'REGION' ARE DEFINED BY TOWN LINES. DEMOGRAPHIC AND PATIENT DATA ARE CAPTURED AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL. THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA SINCE THE 2009 COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN. THE NEXT COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN WILL INCLUDE CENSUS DATA.
PART VI, LINE 6: PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NWH IS COLLABORATING WITH WESTCHESTER COUNTY HOSPITALS AND THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO ADVANCE NEW YORK STATE'S PREVENTION AGENDA. THE SELECTED PRIORITIES FOR NWH AND ITS STELLARIS HEALTH PARTNERS SUPPORT THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY GOALS OF: 1.IMPROVING CHRONIC DISEASE WITH SODIUM REDUCTION 2.INCREASING/IMPROVING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY/NUTRITION.
