THE THIRTY-ONE PARTICIPANTS WERE DRAWN FROM A DIVERSE CROSS-SECTION OF INTERESTED PARTIES INVOLVED IN OUR COMMUNITY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE OF OUR LOCAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AND NEEDS. THE WORKGROUP WAS COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS FROM THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND HOSPITAL (INCLUDING THE VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION) AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS FROM THE FOLLOWING GROUPS/ORGANIZATIONS: ASPIRE, BAY STATE COMMUNITY SERVICES, CHNA 20 (BLUE HILLS COMMUNITY HEALTH ALLIANCE), BEST OF CARE, BOSTON CHINATOWN NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, DOVE, FATHER BILLS & MAINSPRING, HEALTH IMPERATIVES, INTERFAITH SOCIAL SERVICES, MANET COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES, PAARI, QUINCY ASIAN RESOURCES, QUINCY COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM, QUINCY POLICE, TOWN OF RANDOLPH, SCITUATE FACTS, SOUTH SHORE ELDER SERVICES, SOUTH SHORE MANOR, WELLSPRING, TOWN OF WEYMOUTH, WOLLASTON SENIOR CENTER AND YOUTH HEALTH CONNECTION.

SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL INC	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH THREE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK AREAS.

SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL INC	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL IDENTIFIED MANY HEALTH AND SOCIAL ISSUES THROUGH ITS ONGOING DATA COLLECTION AND THE CHNA WORKGROUP FILINGS. THESE ISSUES WERE FRAMED INTO FOUR PRIORITY STRATEGIC DOMAINS; MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, CHRONIC & COMPLEX CONDITIONS AND THEIR RISK FACTORS, AND HEALTH LITERACY & COMMUNICATIONS. TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES FRAMED IN THESE FOUR DOMAINS, SSH PLANS TO DEVELOP OUTREACH, EDUCATION, AND SUPPORT PROGRAMS FOR THOSE AT-RISK, PROVIDE RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL ISOLATION, INCREASE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAMS, PROVIDE NARCAN AND ASSOCIATED TRAINING IN COMMUNITY BASED SETTINGS, SUPPORT DRUG TAKE-BACK EFFORTS, ENHANCE CAREGIVER SUPPORT, ENHANCE ACCESS TO THOSE WHO FACE BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE, ENHANCE ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, SUPPORT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND CREATION OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, INCREASE AVAILABILITY OF TRANSITIONAL HOUSING, IMPROVE CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT THROUGH INCREASED SERVICES, ENHANCE INFORMATION SHARING BETWEEN HOSPITALS, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND LOCAL PROVIDERS, INCREASE HEALTH LITERACY BY DEVELOPING AND DISSEMINATING HEALTH RELATED INFORMATION THAT IS ACCURATE, ACCESSIBLE AND TRANSLATED, AND PROMOTE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION.
SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL INC	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13H: OTHER FACTORS USED TO DETERMINE AMOUNTS CHARGED TO PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBILITY IN MEDICARE/MEDICAID PROGRAMS OR THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH'S HEALTH CONNECTOR.
SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL INC	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 16J: THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY IS ATTACHED TO BILLING INVOICES. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITAL SUMMARIZES ITS POLICY THROUGHOUT ITS FACILITIES: IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND WAITING ROOMS, THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS' OFFICE AND THE BUSINESS OFFICE/PATIENT ACCOUNTING LOCATIONS. PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE ARE DIRECTED TO A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WHO WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AS WELL AS RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM THROUGH MASSHEALTH OR THE COMMONWEALTH'S HEALTH SAFETY NET.
SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL INC	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20E: INDIVIDUALS REFERRED TO SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL MAY MEET WITH A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR TO LEARN ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AS PART OF THE PRE-ADMISSION PROCESS. IF THE HOSPITAL IS UNABLE TO NOTIFY A PATIENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY BEFORE OR DURING THE ADMISSION PROCESS, A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR MAY MEET WITH THE PATIENT DURING HIS HOSPITAL STAY. COUNSELORS ASSIST UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED DURING THE NOTIFICATION/ELIGIBILITY PROCESS IN APPLYING FOR INSURANCE THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS'S HEALTH CONNECTOR PORTAL. COUNSELORS WORK WITH UNDERINSURED, MEDICALLY DISABLED INDIVIDUALS TO FIND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO HELP PAY THEIR MEDICAL BILLS.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
PART I, LINE 7:	SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL USES THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR CALCULATING AMOUNTS IN THE TABLE FOR LINE 7. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS TOTAL PATIENT CARE COSTS DIVIDED BY TOTAL PATIENT CARE CHARGES PER WORKSHEET S-10, LINE 1 OF THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. BAD DEBT IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE UNDERTAKEN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS. THE HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN OUTREACH PROGRAMS AND MEETS WITH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES TO ASSESS HEALTH CARE NEEDS. TRANSLATION SERVICES AND PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE COURTESY COACH AND MD ACCESS AND REFERRAL LINE HELP REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO CARE. SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL'S EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, INFECTION CONTROL, AND CLINICAL AND MEDICAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS ENSURE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE MET. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES SERVICES SUCH AS PASTORAL CARE TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY.
PART III, LINE 2:	THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BY MAJOR INSURANCE GROUP AND LOOKS AT THE HISTORY OF BAD DEBT BY PAYOR. BAD DEBT IS CALCULATED ON A PERCENTAGE BASIS BASED ON THIS HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS AND THE PERCENTAGE IS APPLIED TO AGED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
PART III, LINE 4:	UNCOMPENSATED CARE EXPENSE IN THE STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS REPRESENTS THE HOSPITAL'S PAYMENTS TO THE STATEWIDE HEALTH SAFETY NET FUND (HSN)-- NET OF RECOVERIES FROM HSN FOR REIMBURSABLE BAD DEBTS.
PART III, LINE 8:	SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL PROVIDES A VALUABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT BY TREATING ALL INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. ABOUT 7% OF PEOPLE IN OUR AREA LIVE NEAR OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. THESE INDIVIDUALS WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL OUT OF OUR AREA OR POSSIBLY FORGO MEDICAL TREATMENT WITHOUT THE SERVICES THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES. THE HOSPITAL USES THE MEDICARE 2552 REPORT FOR COSTS. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL INCURRED BY SSH IS VIEWED AS LESSENING THE BURDEN OF GOVERNMENT AND THEREFORE PROVIDES A VALUABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 9B:	THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT BILL THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES OF PATIENTS (EXCEPT THAT THE HOSPITAL WILL BILL PATIENTS FOR ANY APPLICABLE CO-PAYMENTS OR DEDUCTIBLES REQUIRED BY A PARTICULAR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM): PATIENTS ENROLLED IN MASSHEALTH, PATIENTS RECEIVING GOVERNMENTAL BENEFITS UNDER THE EMERGENCY AID TO THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED CHILDREN PROGRAM AND IN THE HEALTHY START PROGRAM. ALSO, PARTICIPANTS IN THE CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SECURITY PLAN WHOSE FAMILY INCOME IS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LIMIT (FPL) ARE EXEMPT FROM COLLECTION ACTION. LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, DETERMINED PURSUANT TO 114.6 CMR 13.04(2), ARE EXEMPT FROM COLLECTION ACTION FOR ANY ELIGIBLE SERVICES, EXCEPT FOR CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE SERVICES UNDER 114.6 CMR 12.03(6)(B). LOW-INCOME PATIENTS DETERMINED PURSUANT TO 114.6 CMR 12.03(3)(B), WITHIN 150.1-300% OF THE FPL ARE EXEMPT FROM COLLECTION ACTION FOR THE PORTION OF THE PROVIDER BILL THAT EXCEEDS THE DEDUCTIBLE AND MAY BE BILLED FOR CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES AS SET FORTH IN 114.6 CMR 13.04. SSH MAY BILL LOW-INCOME PATIENTS FOR SERVICES OTHER THAN ELIGIBLE SERVICES PROVIDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE PATIENT, AND FOR WHICH THE PATIENT HAS AGREED TO BE RESPONSIBLE, IF PROVIDERS RECEIVE THE PATIENT'S WRITTEN CONSENT TO BE BILLED FOR THE SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT UNDERTAKE COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS QUALIFIED FOR MEDICAL HARDSHIP WITH RESPECT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE BILL THAT EXCEEDS THE MEDICAL HARDSHIP CONTRIBUTION. SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL WILL NOT CONTINUE COLLECTION OR BILLINGS ON A PATIENT WHO IS A MEMBER OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS, EXCEPT TO SECURE ITS RIGHTS AS A CREDITOR IN THE APPROPRIATE ORDER. THE HOSPITAL MAY INITIATE BILLING FOR A PATIENT WHO CLAIMS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS BUT FAILS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF ELIGIBILITY. UPON RECEIPT OF SATISFACTORY PROOF OF ELIGIBILITY, THE HOSPITAL SHALL CEASE ALL COLLECTION ACTIVITIES. THE HOSPITAL, OR ITS AGENTS, WILL NOT CHARGE INTEREST ON AN OVERDUE BALANCE FOR A LOW-INCOME PATIENT OR FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE LOW INCOME BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S OWN INTERNAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART VI, LINE 2:	THE HOSPITAL'S MOST RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED IN OCTOBER 2021. THE CHNA WAS THE CULMINATION OF SSH'S EFFORTS TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. IN ADDITION TO THE WORKGROUP FORMED TO ASSESS AND PRIORITIZE HEALTH NEEDS, THE HOSPITAL CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGES SYSTEM CLINICIANS AND LEADERS, COMMUNITY SERVICE PROVIDERS, MEMBERS OF STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, EMS PROVIDERS, POLICE AND FIRE OFFICIALS AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE COLLECTION AND REVIEW OF DATA. SSH TRACKS AND STUDIES TRENDS IN OUR PATIENT POPULATION. WE REVIEW COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA PRIMARILY FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE U.S CENSUS BUREAU.
PART VI, LINE 3:	SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL PROMINENTLY DISPLAYS ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION IN PUBLIC AREAS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL. INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS DURING THE INTAKE PROCESS. THE HOSPITAL POSTS ITS CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY AND ITS ENTIRETY, ON ITS WEBSITE AND COPIES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PLAN EXPLAINS HOW INDIVIDUALS MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS THE HOSPITAL'S REDUCED FEE AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL'S INSURANCE COUNSELORS CAN EXPLAIN VARIOUS OPTIONS AND WILL HELP ANYONE WHO WANTS ASSISTANCE WITH HEALTH INSURANCE ENROLLMENT UNDER THE COMMONWEALTH'S HEALTH CARE REFORM LAW. COUNSELORS ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST PATIENTS DURING THE INTAKE PROCESS AND ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC SIX DAYS A WEEK. IN ADDITION TO HELPING PATIENTS UNDERSTAND ELIGIBILITY FOR REDUCED OR FREE CARE, COUNSELORS ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS IN OUR SERVICE AREA IN OBTAINING HEALTH INSURANCE, WHETHER THEY ARE PATIENTS OF THE HOSPITAL OR NOT.
