MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3J: THE HOSPITAL FACILITY DID INCLUDE A PRIORITIZED LIST OF THE COMMUNITY'S SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IN ITS MOST RECENT CHNA REPORT.THE CHNA HAS ALL THE SECTIONS REFERENCED ABOVE AND INCLUDES AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, POTENTIALLY AVAILABLE RESOURCES, EVALUATION OF IMPACT, REFERENCES, AND APPENDICES.
MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: IN 2022, THE HOSPITAL GATHERED DATA FOR ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. A SURVEY, AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARD COPY AND ON-LINE FORMATS, WAS DESIGNED BY QUALTRICS (DATA COLLECTION SOFTWARE APPLICATION) TO CAPTURE THE PERCEPTIONS AND THOUGHTS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS REGARDING THEIR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH NEEDS. TO INCLUDE THE VOICES OF THOSE WHO MAY HAVE HAD LIMITED COMPUTER ACCESS, A COMBINED BOONEVILLE/PARIS COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUP LED BY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ACCESS DEPARTMENT WAS CONDUCTED TO DIALOGUE DIRECTLY WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS. THIS WAS A TARGETED EFFORT TO INCLUDE BOTH RURAL COMMUNITY LEADERS AND MEMBERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND. INPUT FROM PEOPLE REPRESENTING BROAD INTERESTS OF THE TWO LOCAL COMMUNITIES WAS SOLICITED THROUGH A ROBUST SURVEY PROCESS GUIDED BY A MERCY-LED COMMUNITY COALITION. THE GOAL OF THE SURVEY WAS TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO THE PERCEPTIONS OF COUNTY RESIDENTS ON THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES, RISK FACTORS, BARRIERS TO CARE, AND HEALTH SERVICES UTILIZATION. A CONCENTRATED EFFORT WAS MADE TO DISTRIBUTE PRINTED SURVEYS TO BOONEVILLE AND PARIS LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND MERCY COWORKERS. MERCY COLLABORATED WITH DIFFERENT COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO LISTEN TO AND CAPTURE THE VOICE OF THE VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS THAT WERE NOT REPRESENTED WITHIN THE SURVEY RESULTS. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE SELECTED BY CHURCH LEADERS THAT WERE DEEMED TO BE CIVICALLY ENGAGED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE GOAL OF THE SURVEY WAS TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO THE PERCEPTIONS OF COUNTY RESIDENTS ON THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES, RISK FACTORS, BARRIERS TO CARE, AND HEALTH SERVICES UTILIZATION.
MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: THE CHNA WAS CONDUCTED FOR MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SMITH.
MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CHNA, MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS' BOARD ADOPTED AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AND WILL ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING THREE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE PARIS COMMUNITY: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE, AND OBESITY.BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. A COLLABORATIVE CARE PROGRAM SUPPORTING PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS IN PROVIDING MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO PATIENTS IN NEED STARTED IN THE TAX YEAR. AN INTEGRATED VIRTUAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM BEGAN DURING THE TAX YEAR TO PROVIDE INTEGRATED, REGIONAL SUPPORT FOR INPATIENTS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS.SUBSTANCE USE AND OBESITY. MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM AND WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS SUCH AS THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.OTHER NOTABLE COMMUNITY HEALTH ACHIEVEMENTS:THE COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER (CHW) PROGRAM, WHICH WAS PILOTED BEGINNING IN 2018, WAS ADOPTED AND EXPANDED ACROSS MERCY HOSPITALS IN 2019. MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS SHARES ONE FULL-TIME CHW WHO ASSISTS WITH ALL FOUR CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL TO CONNECT UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND CLINICS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR SOCIAL NEEDS, ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ISSUES, AND ASSIST PATIENTS WITH APPLYING FOR MEDICAID, MARKETPLACE INSURANCE, DISABILITY AND HOSPITAL CHARITY CARE. CHWS ALSO COLLABORATE CLOSELY WITH THE CARE MANAGEMENT TEAM AND SOCIAL WORKERS TO ENSURE CONTINUITY OF CARE AND IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE.MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES AND SUPPORTS THE PARIS COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL, WHICH IS COMPOSED OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND EDUCATION. THE GOAL OF THE COALITION IS TO COLLABORATE AND SHARE RESOURCES TO SUPPORT IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS, ESPECIALLY SUBSTANCE USE, TRANSPORTATION, AND OBESITY/OVERWEIGHT. MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS CONTINUES TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO EXPLORE OPTIONS AND INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS.THREE ASSESSED HEALTH ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE 2022 CHNA PROCESS, COPD, HOUSING, UNEMPLOYMENT WERE NOT CHOSEN AS PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES DUE TO MERCY'S CURRENT LACK OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. THESE ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED INDIRECTLY IN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES DEVELOPED TO MEET THE PRIORITIZED NEEDS IN AREAS THAT MAY OVERLAP. FOR EXAMPLE, EFFORTS TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF OBESITY IN THE COMMUNITY MAY ALSO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF CANCER. ADDITIONALLY, RELATED COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMMING, AND SOURCES OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER RESOURCES WILL BE EXPLORED DURING THE NEXT THREE-YEAR CHIP CYCLE. MERCY PARIS WILL CONSIDER FOCUSING ON THESE ISSUES SHOULD RESOURCES BECOME AVAILABLE. UNTIL THEN, MERCY PARIS WILL SUPPORT, AS ABLE, THE EFFORTS OF PARTNER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS CURRENTLY WORKING TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

PART I, LINE 6A:	THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PREPARED BY ITS ULTIMATE PARENT ENTITY, MERCY HEALTH (EIN: 43-1423050).
PART I, LINE 7:	TOTAL EXPENSES FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) ARE $12,541,074. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS BAD DEBT EXPENSE (CHARGES) OF $907,427. EXPENSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F) ARE $11,633,647.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	N/A
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 FOR ALL COMMUNITIES EXCEPT JOPLIN, MAUDE NORTON, CARTHAGE AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. 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.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:	MERCY HEALTH BELIEVES THAT ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS. THEREFORE, NO OTHER STEPS WERE TAKEN TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	MERCY INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS OR UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY THROUGH SEVERAL MEANS. IF AT ANY TIME A PATIENT EXPRESSES HARDSHIP AND INABILITY TO PAY, THE ACCOUNT IS PLACED FOR REVIEW. IN ADDITION, PATIENTS HAVE SIGNAGE ABOUT THE POLICY AT THE ACCESS POINTS, AND ALL STAFF WORKING WITH THE PATIENT AT POINT OF SERVICE, SCHEDULING, CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND EVEN THROUGH THE MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY SCREENING HAVE THE MEANS TO SEND THE ACCOUNT FOR REVIEW. THERE IS THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY THAT IS BEING PROVIDED TO ALL WHOM EXPRESS HARDSHIP, IN ADDITION TO THE WEB ADDRESS PROVIDING THE APPLICATION, POLICIES, AND EVEN HOW UNINSURED ACCOUNTS ARE HANDLED. LASTLY, THE STATEMENTS MESSAGE TO THE PATIENT THAT MERCY DOES HAVE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND TO CALL TO SEE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE. MERCY STAFF'S INTERNAL RESOURCES CERTIFIED TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH MEDICAID APPLICATIONS AS WELL.
PART VI, LINE 4:	THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA FOR MERCY HOSPITAL PARIS INCLUDES LOGAN COUNTY, ARKANSAS. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS DERIVED FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD DEMOGRAPHICS.
