MERCY HOSPITAL LINCOLN PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE CHNA PROCESS WAS DESIGNED TO USE DATA TO IDENTIFY THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE FLOURISHING; USE INFORMATION PROVIDED FROM FOCUS GROUPS AND COMMUNITY SURVEYS TO HELP COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFY SYSTEMS THAT PERPETUATE INEQUITY; AND TEST PROGRAMMATIC CHANGES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DISRUPT THESE SYSTEMS. BY DOING THIS WE HOPE THE LONG-TERM OUTCOME WILL BE THE CREATION OF CONDITIONS WHERE EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, BY ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE FOLLOWING METHODS WERE USED TO UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS:1. COMMUNITY SURVEY- A SURVEY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY VIEW AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH ISSUES.2. COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS- DISCUSSIONS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS TO DELVE DEEPER INTO INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES WITH HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES3. SECONDARY DATA RESEARCH- INFORMATION RELATED TO THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR COMMUNITY'S ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND HEALTH STATUS PUBLISHED BY ESTABLISHED SOURCESMERCY CONVENED A COMMUNITY COALITION OF 14 TROY AND SURROUNDING LINCOLN COUNTY AREA HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY IN 2024. THE FINAL SURVEY WAS MADE UP OF 30 QUESTIONS FOCUSED ON HEALTH ISSUES AND NEEDS MOST IMPORTANT TO THE RESPONDENTS WELLNESS, MENTAL HEALTH, BARRIERS TO CARE AND CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATIONS. VARIOUS COMMUNITY PARTNERS PROMOTED THE SURVEY ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHILE ALSO DISTRIBUTING THE SURVEY ELECTRONICALLY TO THEIR CO-WORKERS, PATIENTS, CLIENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS BY EMAIL AND THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.THE FACILITATION TEAM WAS MADE UP OF A LEAD FACILITATOR AND SCRIBE DURING THE THREE FOCUS GROUPS. THE PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED INDIVIDUALS SERVED BY COLLABORATING ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATIONS. THE FACILITATOR LED EACH COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUP AND FOLLOWED A WRITTEN SCRIPT TO ENSURE CONSISTENT MESSAGING AT ALL EVENTS. THE SCRIBE THEN RECORDED QUOTES AND IDEAS FROM INDIVIDUALS AS THEY RESPONDED TO EACH QUESTION OR IDEA.PARTICIPANTS CONVENED DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE STATE OF HEALTH IN THE WASHINGTON REGION. KEY COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES WERE DISCUSSED WHETHER THEY WERE CLINICAL IN SCOPE (DIABETES) OR NON-CLINICAL (ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD). THEN THE GROUP[ TALKED THROUGH CURRENTLY AVAILABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCES ALONG WITH THE BARRIERS TO ACCESSING THESE BENEFITS. FINALLY, THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS BRAINSTORMED FUTURE SOLUTIONS TOWARDS THE TOP NEEDS THAT INCLUDED EXPANDING/INCREASING CURRENT PROGRAMS OR DEVELOPING NEW INITIATIVES TO FILL GAPS.

IN DEDICATION TO THIS MISSION, OUR WORK INCLUDED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) DURING THE LAST YEAR, IN COOPERATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. THE LINCOLN COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL REVIEWED AND PRIORITIZED THE NEEDS BASED ON SEVERAL CRITERIA. 2025 PRIORITIZED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ARE: -HOUSING INSTABILITY, -TRANSPORTATION ACCESS -SAFE AFFORDABLE CHILDCARETHESE PRIORITIZED NEEDS WILL BE THE BASIS OF MERCY LINCOLN AND LINCOLN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS THREE-YEAR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP), WHICH WILL GUIDE THE COORDINATION AND TARGETING OF RESOURCES AND THE PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EVALUATION OF NEW AND EXISTING PROGRAMS AND INTERVENTIONSIN THE CATEGORY OF HOUSING INSUFFICIENCY MERCY HOSPITAL LINCOLN WILL IDENTIFY AND SUPPORT COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT INCREASE ACCESS TO LOW- INCOME HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES IN LINCOLN COUNTY.

BECAUSE MHL HAS LIMITED RESOURCES, NOT EVERY COMMUNITY NEED WILL BE ADDRESSED. THROUGHOUT THE CHNA PROCESS, THE FOLLOWING NEED AROSE AS A COMMUNITY CONCERN. HOWEVER, IT WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED AS A TOP PRIORITY BECAUSE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE MORE APPROPRIATE TO ADDRESS THIS NEED. -FOOD INSECURITY -MENTAL/ BEHAVIORAL HEALTH -CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT -ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE -COST OF PRESCRIPTIONS AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THE DATA AND MAPPING EXISTING RESOURCES, MERCY HOSPITAL LINCOLN IS DEVELOPING AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WITH EVIDENCEBASED STRATEGIES.

PART III, LINE 2: TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED WAS BASED ON DETAILED COST ACCOUNT, WHERE AVAILABLE. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS NOT AVAILABLE, COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE UTILIZED. PART III, LINE 3: THE FILING ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $0. ALTHOUGH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUIRES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PATIENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE A PROCESS UNDER PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHARITY POLICY IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ALMOST ALL PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. PART III, LINE 4: IN MAY 2014, THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) AND INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE (ASU) 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606). THE HEALTH SYSTEM ADOPTED ASU 2014-09 ON JULY 1, 2018 USING A FULL RETROSPECTIVE BASIS. UPON ADOPTION, THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED AS PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PRESENTED AS A REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS IS TREATED A PRICE CONCESSION THAT REDUCES THE TRANSACTION PRICE, WHICH IS REPORTED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. AS SUCH, BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NOT REFERENCED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS TRACKED FOR FORM 990 REPORTING AS FOLLOWS: PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTION POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES 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 THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES. PART III, LINE 8: IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY THAT 100% OF ANY SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER. THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE IS CALCULATED BY THE GROSS CHARGES NET OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO LESS ANY PAYMENTS, DEDUCTIONS OR REIMBURSEMENTS USING THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS FORM 2552-96). PART III, LINE 9B: MERCY'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE COMMUNICATION AND/OR REVIEW OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS IT RELATES TO ANY SERVICE PROVIDED AT OUR FACILITIES BEFORE TURNING THE ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT FOR NONPAYMENT. MERCY ACTIVELY SCRUBS ACCOUNTS FOR PAYOR PLAN COVERAGE, INCLUDING MEDICAID. IN THE EVENT AN ACCOUNT IS TURNED TO COLLECTIONS AND IS IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGES, OR PATIENT IS NOW REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED BY THE AGENCY AND CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY IF THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO RETURN THE INFORMATION, THE ACCOUNT WILL QUALIFY FOR COLLECTIONS.MERCY UTILIZES THE EXPERIAN TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY QUALIFICATION PRIOR TO TURNING TO BAD DEBT, A PROCESS KNOWN AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY. THIS PRESUMPTIVE SCREENING PROCESS DETAILS EVALUATIONS THAT TAKE PLACE PRIOR TO PATIENT BILLING AND ADDITIONALLY PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT. THE PRESUMPTIVE SCREENING WAS PER ENCOUNTER AND DID NOT PROMOTE ANY LOOK-BACK ADJUSTMENTS. FOR THE COMMUNITIES OF JOPLIN, MAUDE NORTON, CARTHAGE, AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS COMMUNITIES, PRESUMPTIVE SCREENING IS NOT CONDUCTED PRIOR TO PATIENT BILLING - IT IS ONLY PERFORMED BEFORE ACCOUNTS ARE PLACED IN BAD DEBT.MERCY WILL GRANT CHARITY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION WHEN A PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION.MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE PLACEMENT WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES. THIS OCCURS AFTER 3 MONTHLY STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN SENT WITH THE FINAL STATEMENT INCLUDING NOTIFICATION OF PLACEMENT WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY. WHILE MERCY USES THE COLLECTION FOLLOW-UP SERVICES OF COLLECTION AGENCIES, MERCY WILL NOT UTILIZE ANY TYPE OF EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIVITY. THE DEFINITION OF EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIVITY IS TAKEN FROM THE 501(R) DESCRIPTION. PART VI, LINE 2: IN MARCH OF 2024, MERCY HOSPITAL LINCOLN (MHL) BEGAN PLANNING FOR ITS 2025-2027 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA)A COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL (CHC), LED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF MERCY HOSPITAL LINCOLN, WAS FORMED AND GUIDED THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. THE COUNCIL CONVENES QUARTERLY AND IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ENSURING THAT COMMUNITYBENEFIT ACTIVITIES MEET MISSION COMPLIANCE AND IRS GUIDELINES. IT CONSISTS OF MERCY LEADERS FROM VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, SUCH AS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, FINANCE, CARE MANAGEMENT, PHILANTHROPY, ETC., IN ADDITION TO A HOSPITAL BOARD MEMBER.
