Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 22 THOREK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CALCULATES AGB UNDER THE PROSPECTIVE MEDICARE METHOD, WHICH MEANS THAT THOREK DETERMINES AGB FOR ANY EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE PROVIDED TO AN INDIVIDUAL ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY USING THE BILLING AND CODING PROCESS THOREK WOULD USE IF THE INDIVIDUAL WERE A MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE BENEFICIARY AND SETTING THE AGB FOR THE CARE AT THE AMOUNT MEDICARE WOULD ALLOW FOR THE CARE (INCLUDING BOTH THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE REIMBURSED BY MEDICARE AND THE AMOUNT THAT THE BENEFICIARY WOULD BE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING IN THE FORM OF CO-PAYMENTS, COINSURANCE AND DEDUCTIBLES). Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation 6003082 Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS ESTABLISHED ON AN AGGREGATE BASIS BY USING HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF RATE FACTORS APPLIED TO UNPAID ACCOUNTS BASED ON AGING. 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 AMOUNTS. UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IN PERIOD THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote Patient accounts receivable are primarily paid by federal and state governmental authorities (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed health plans, commercial insurance companies, workers' compensation programs, employers and patients. Patient receivables are reported at net realizable value. For accounts receivable associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Hospital estimates net realizable value and related explicit price concessions based on the estimated contractual reimbursement percentage, which in turn is based on current contract provisions and historical paid claims by payor. For self-pay accounts, including uninsured and patient responsibility accounts, the net realizable value is determined using historical collection experience, adjusted for estimated conversions of patient responsibility portions, expected recoveries and changes in trends to estimate implicit price concessions. Management continually analyzes the estimated net realizable value of accounts receivable by monitoring cash collections, economic conditions and trends, changes in payor mix, changes in federal or state healthcare coverage and other matters. Changes in general economic conditions, patient accounting service center operations, payer mix, payer claim processing could affect our collection of accounts receivable, cash flows and results of operations. Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs MEDICARE COSTS ARE ALLOCATED BY COST CENTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH MEDICARE REGULATIONS. THE COSTS ARE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance THOREK SEEKS TO ENGAGE PATIENTS PROACTIVELY TO DETERMINE IF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED, ESPECIALLY AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS SERVICE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY COMMUNICATING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE PATIENT THROUGH POSTED SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS NOTICES ON THE HOSPITAL WEBSITE AND ALL BILLING CORRESPONDENCE. FURTHERMORE THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL COUNSELORS PROVIDE ASSISTANCE RANGING FROM ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, TO PROVIDING PAYMENT PLANS TO THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE OR WITH PATIENT RESPONSIBILITIES AFTER REIMBURSEMENT BY THE PRIMARY INSURANCE, AND SEEKING INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR THOSE PATIENTS UNINSURED. THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL COUNSELORS SEEK TO MAKE CONTACT AND WORK WITH THE PATIENT OR THEIR FAMILY TO HELP THEM IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE TO MEET THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN A SUPPORTIVE MANNER OR IDENTIFY ELIGIBILITY FOR THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WORK WITH PATIENTS IN PERSON WHILE STILL AN INPATIENT IF APPROPRIATE, AFTER AN OUTPATIENT SERVICE AT THE HOSPITAL, OR SOON AFTER SERVICE IS PROVIDED TELEPHONICALLY. AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, THE COUNSELORS ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE IF THERE ARE ANY THIRD-PARTY PAYERS WHICH MAY BE AVAILABLE TO HELP THE PATIENT MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS. THE COUNSELORS WORK WITH OUR PATIENTS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER STATE OR LOCAL FUNDED PROGRAMS INCLUDING CRIME VICTIMS, ILLINOIS MARKET PLACE INSURANCE PLANS, ALTERNATIVE INSURANCE INCLUDING COBRA, WORKER'S COMPENSATION, AND/OR OTHER APPROPRIATE THIRD-PARTY LIABILITY PAYOR. THE HOSPITAL CONTRACTS WITH AN OUTSIDE FIRM TO PROVIDE SUPPORTING STAFF THAT WORK WITH PATIENT ACCOUNTS IN THIS PROCESS. THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BEGINS WITH A PHONE CALL OR MEETING WITH THE PATIENT TO COMPLETE THE HOSPITAL CHARITY CARE APPLICATION FORMS AND/OR PROVIDED EVIDENCE OF THE NEED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF THE CHARITY CARE APPLICATION MEETS THE HOSPITAL CHARITY CARE GUIDELINES OF 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, NO FURTHER COLLECTION ACTIVITY OCCURS, AND THE AMOUNT IS APPROPRIATELY RECORDED AS CHARITY CARE AND WRITTEN OFF AFTER THE 53% INITIAL DISCOUNT IS APPLIED. IF THE APPLICATION MEETS THE 201%-600% OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE THE ACCOUNT IS DISCOUNTED AT ADDITIONAL 50% AND THE PAYMENT PLAN IS INITIATED FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE. FOR PATIENTS THAT DO NOT MEET CHARITY CARE GUIDELINES, A 53% (BASED ON 300% OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES) INITIAL DISCOUNT IS TAKEN. THE REMAINING AMOUNT IS PAID BASED UPON AN AGREED PAYMENT PLAN WITH THE PATIENT OR THE PATIENT RECEIVES A FURTHER DISCOUNT BASED UPON THE INDIVIDUAL PATIENT'S FINANCIAL SITUATION. ANY FINAL AMOUNT TO BE PAID IS DETERMINED AND PAID IN FULL OR ACCORDING TO AN AGREED UPON PAYMENT PLAN WITH THE PATIENT. EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS MADE TO ENSURE THE PATIENT HAS THE CHANCE TO PAY WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD BASED UPON THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION AT THAT TIME.
