LeConte Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 5: LeConte Medical Center ("LeConte") conducted its fourth Community Health Needs Assessment ("CHNA") in 2023. A Steering Committee was formed to guide the assessment process and included the Sevier County Health Department, LeConte Medical Center, the Sevier County Health Council and the Tennessee Department of Health. Each of these community organizations serve the broader community and, in particular, the low-income, uninsured, and chronically ill. The Steering Committee worked with the University of Tennessee-Knoxville Social Work Office of Research and Public Service ("UT-SWORPS") to devise a Sevier County household survey and to host four focus groups of community leaders, each of which represented a part of the overall Sevier County public health system. The household survey collected information from 464 Sevier County residents. Participation in the survey was diverse and reflected the demographic profile of the county for the attributes of educational level, income, ethnicity and age. The primary research was analyzed and combined with county demographics, mortality, and secondary data for more than 60 health indicators. A Data Team was formed to begin the analysis of the data and determine the most significant findings from the assessment. The Data Team included members of the Steering Committee as well as representatives from the Sevier County Health Department, Sevier United, Sevier County Coordinated School Health, Sevier County Office of Alcohol and Drug Programs, Sevier County Health Improvement Council, the McNabb Center and Mountain Hope Clinic.
LeConte Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 6b: LeConte's 2023 CHNA was conducted with the following organizations: - Sevier County Family Resource Center - East Tennessee State University- St. Mary's Legacy Clinic - LeConte Medical Center- Sevier County Health Improvement - Sevier County Office of Alcohol Council and Drug Programs- McNabb Center - Mountain Hope Clinic- Faith Community - Sevier County Sheriff's Office- Senior Housing Program - Sevier United- Sevier County Health Department - Sevier County Schools
LeConte Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 11: For 2023, the Steering Committee elected to use the same secondary health indicators that were used in the 2020 assessment. The indicators were updated to include the most current data points available. Additionally, COVID-19 statistics were included that did not exist in 2020. Updated demographics, leading causes of death, community survey results, focus group analysis and secondary data for dozens of health indicators was used by the Data Team to determine the most significant health priorities for the 2023 health assessment cycle.The Data Team used a methodology to determine whether the 2020 CHNA significant issues should be continued, modified or replaced. New issues that may have emerged since the 2020 CHNA also were discussed for potential inclusion. Largely due to COVID-19, the Data Team consensus was to continue the four health priorities of the 2020 CHNA and add a fifth health priority: transportation. Data Team members felt each priority area of the 2020 assessment had worsened. Communities were faced with increased uncertainty and stress, many community resources were paused, and healthcare organizations were pushed to a breaking point. Overall, the demand for health and human resources far outweighed the supply. The 2023 most significant health priorities for Sevier County are as follows: 1. Mental Health 2. Obesity - Adult and Child 3. Health Education 4. Substance Abuse.1. Mental HealthBehavioral Health Services Expansion: - Psychiatric consultation service is now being provided for patients in the Emergency Department and for inpatients at LeConte via tele-video through Peninsula Behavioral Health, a department of Parkwest Medical Center. - LeConte's patients can be referred to Peninsula's Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic, which is located less than a mile away from the hospital. 2. Adult and Childhood ObesityCovenant Kids Run: - Each year, as part of the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, children in kindergarten through 8th grades participate in the Covenant Kids Run. Participants work on completing 26.2 miles of activity with the final mile taking place on race day of the marathon. The intent of the program is to get youth to engage in physical activity and develop healthy habits. LeConte, the Knoxville Track Club and Covenant Health's marketing department coordinate with Sevier County Schools to encourage participation. LeConte Wellness Center: - LeConte oversees the fitness floors at the Pigeon Forge Community Center. This allows for community education regarding the importance of physical activity.3. Substance AbusePeninsula Drug Treatment Program: - LeConte can now refer patients to Peninsula's Medication Assistance Treatment program through the Center's Outpatient Services for Substance Abuse. This program offers specialized medications and intensive therapy to treat substance abuse disorders. Opioid Light Program: - LeConte's Emergency Department is participating in a Covenant Health system-wide initiative to curb the use of hospital-prescribed opioids. Physicians are prescribing non-opioid drugs when indicated for pain management during treatment and at discharge. 4. Health EducationDollywood Partnership: - LeConte is a member of Covenant Health, which is the health partner for Dollywood, Sevier County's largest employer. LeConte periodically provides speakers for Dollywood's safety team. Cardiac Rehab Education: - LeConte also provides cardiac rehabilitation education. Community Stroke Education: - LeConte's stroke coordinator regularly provides stroke education to the community. - LeConte sponsors the Rose Glenn Literary Festival in Sevierville, TN and showcases stroke education books for kids.Pink Out Football Games: - LeConte has partnered with the Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation and the Sevier County School System to host a special Pink Out Game at all five of the local high schools. This event includes education and awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

Part I, Line 3c:In addition to the Federal Poverty Guidelines ("FPG"), LeConte utilizes an asset test as a factor in determining eligibility for free or discounted care. Ten percent (10%) of the patient/guarantor's net assets will be added to income for determination of total annual income. The guidelines for determining assets include, but are not limited to, primary dwelling (and attached land), automobiles, liquid assets, investments, farm land, business property, rental property, farm and/or business equipment including livestock and crops. All real property will be considered at fair market value. The values of both real and personal property will be reduced by any existing liabilities incurred by the applicant in obtaining the assets (net assets) with the exception of primary dwelling. The primary dwelling net asset will be the amount of equity above $100,000. Actual or potential third party liability to the patient, hospital or the guarantor by common law, contract, statute or otherwise, shall be considered an asset and must be listed on the Hospital Financial Assistance application.
Part I, Line 6a:Covenant Health, the parent company of LeConte and other affiliated acute care hospitals, prepares an annual Report to the Community on behalf of the entire system.
Part I, Line 7:Amounts on Lines 7a-7c and certain program costs included on Line 7g are from the hospital's cost accounting system, which addresses all patient segments. Other community benefit expenses are at cost from the general ledger.
Part I, Line 7g:Subsidized health services includes the difference between the cost of services and the payments received for those services. The cost of providing OB and neonatal care exceeded the payments by $566,474. The organization has included $3,675,921 in physician sponsorship fees in total subsidized health services.

Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 24a, but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $10,670,214.
Part II, Community Building Activities:LeConte cares cares for the whole person and recognizes that improved social and economic conditions may lead to the improved health and well-being of the community. The hospital's community-building activities and those of its parent organization, Covenant Health, address many of the root causes of health problems, such as access to care, tobacco use, and conditions such as diabetes and obesity, and help develop collaborative responses with other community organizations.An allocation of the Parent's community-building expenditures has been made to each member hospital in proportion to the financial contribution of each to the health system. Covenant Health is not a hospital and does not file Schedule H with its Form 990. Contributions in 2023 were made to organizations meeting the community's needs by providing: - The basic needs of life including temporary shelter, food, clothing, and safety (Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking, Ladies of Charity, Seymour Volunteer Fire Department, Variety Children's Charity of East Tennessee, YWCA Knoxville) - Youth mentoring, development and after-school programs (Emerald Youth Foundation, Boys and Girls Club, Knox Education Foundation, First Tee of Greater Knoxville, Great Smoky Mountain Council, Young Life Knoxville) - Business recruitment, education and marketing initiatives that boost economic development and quality of life (Foothills Land Conservancy, Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, Knoxville Technology Council, Maryville College, Pellissippi State Foundation) - Leadership development programs and workshops (Knoxville Area Urban League, Leadership Knoxville) - Assistance and special programs for at-risk older adults, people with physical and mental challenges, and abused and neglected children (Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee, Senior Citizens Home Assistance Services, Sertoma Center) - Improve access to health services (East TN Children's Hospital, McNabb Center, Metropolitan Drug Commission, Interfaith Health Clinic, Knoxville Academy of Medicine, Region II Emergency Medical Services, Renew Clinic) - Programs supporting patients and their families (Alzheimer's Tennessee, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Cancer Support Community East Tennessee, East TN Veterans Memorial Association, Honor Air Knoxville, Knox County Imagination Library, Random Acts of Flowers, Spark)
Part III, Line 2:Bad debt expense on Part III, Line 2 is the amount recorded in the organization's financial statements. Discounts and payments on patient accounts are netted against bad debt. The allowance for bad debt is determined based on management's assessment of factors including the age of the accounts, historical collections data, and industry standards.
Part III, Line 3:At regular intervals, the Vice President of Revenue Cycle analyzes all self-pay accounts receivables to identify patients who may have been eligible for charity care during a particular period or year. Because this analysis does not yield a final determination of eligibility due to various factors including but not limited to charity applications still in process, failure of eligible patients to submit their charity application, and applications still under consideration, further analysis of the accounts comprising the self-pay accounts receivable is conducted. The accounts for which a patient was contacted to apply for charity care include an identifier; these charity-identified accounts are then categorized according to status. A ratio of the dollar amounts of those accounts whose charity application is in process or has been approved divided by the total self-pay accounts receivable is computed. This ratio is applied to the bad debt expense total to determine the estimated amount of the bad debt expense attributable to patients eligible for charity care according to the hospital's policy.
Part III, Line 4:Note B to the 2023 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Covenant Health system, of which LeConte Medical Center is a member, states: Patient accounts receivable are reported net of an estimated allowance for contractual adjustments and an allowance for implicit price concessions. Covenant receives payments for services rendered from federal and state agencies, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers and patients. Covenant recognizes that revenues and receivables from government agencies are significant to operations, but does not believe there are significant credit risks associated with these government agencies. Covenant does not believe there are any other significant concentrations of revenues from any particular payer that would subject Covenant to any significant credit risks in the collection of accounts receivable. Covenant's policy does not require collateral or other security for patient accounts receivable and Covenant routinely accepts assignment of, or is otherwise entitled to receive, patient benefits payable under health insurance programs, plans or policies.
Part III, Line 8:Costing Methodology: LeConte used a combination of sources in calculating Medicare allowable costs on Part III, Line 6 including its cost accounting system, general ledger accounting system, and facility-specific analyses and calculations.
Part III, Line 9b:LeConte utilizes a look-back method to determine amounts generally billed ("AGB") to establish the maximum amount that will be charged to individuals eligible under the financial assistance policy ("FAP") for emergency or other medically necessary care. Self-pay patients automatically receive a 72% discount on charges based on the facility's calculated AGB. Federal poverty guidelines are utilized in the determination of charity care eligibility. Patients who are unable to pay and have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may qualify for charity care. A sliding scale is used for extending charity care utilizing the income levels reported under the federal poverty guidelines. Patients/guarantors with income that falls below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 100% charity care. Patients/guarantors with income of 201-300% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 90% charity care. For catastrophic illness, exceptions to income and asset limitations may be made on a case-by-case basis. The amount considered for charity will be based upon the evaluation of the patient's/guarantor's ability to pay.LeConte makes reasonable efforts to determine a patient's eligibility under the facility FAP. All collection activity will be halted if a charity application is received and will remain on hold until a determination is made by LeConte and communicated in writing to the responsible party. If the charity application is approved, all collection activities taken will be reversed and any amounts paid above the amount required will be refunded. Patients/guarantors who qualify for partial financial assistance are responsible for paying any balance remaining after the charity adjustment and third party payments. LeConte will not engage in extraordinary collection actions ("ECA") before it makes reasonable efforts to determine whether an individual who has an unpaid bill is eligible for financial assistance. Reasonable efforts to determine whether the individual who has an unpaid bill is eligible for financial assistance include notification to the individual of the financial assistance policy, contacting individuals who have submitted incomplete financial assistance applications regarding how to complete the application, and allowing a reasonable time period to do so, and reviewing completed applications for financial assistance eligibility. LeConte does not sell any accounts receivable accounts to outside firms. All accounts remain property of and under the policies set by LeConte. LeConte will not defer or deny medically necessary care because of nonpayment for previously provided care whether it was covered or not covered under the charity program.
Part VI, Line 2:While the CHNA is a formal means by which the health system assesses the needs of the community, there are many informal networks that give the Covenant Health hospitals a sense of community issues and needs. LeConte obtains additional community information through the service of its employees with the Chamber of Commerce, Sevier County Health Council, and Rotary Club, and through partnerships with the Boys and Girls Club and the Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic for the uninsured. Covenant Health, the parent organization, maintains community benefit professionals working year-round to ensure that all hospitals are assessing and addressing the needs of the communities served.
Part VI, Line 3:The FAP states that patients who are unable to pay or have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may be considered for charity care. Signage about the policy is posted in highly visible areas of the hospital, such as lobbies and registration areas. Information about the FAP is posted in patient booklets provided to patients during the registration process and communicated via patient billing statements. In addition, the FAP and application are available on the facility website. LeConte employs full time financial counselors to assist patients in applying for TennCare and screening for eligibility for financial assistance. Office hours and the phone number for the counselors are included on the signage. Wall signs informing patients about available financial assistance state the following: Covenant Health is committed to providing quality health services in a caring environment. It is the expressed philosophy of Covenant Health and its member hospitals that no one should be denied necessary medical care because of the inability to pay. In conjunction with this philosophy, counselors at LeConte Medical Center are available to assist you with your financial needs. If you are an uninsured person with no public or private source of payment for medical services LeConte Medical Center will provide, at a reduced rate, medically indicated services. A financial counselor is available to assist you with these matters by calling 865-446-8687, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Additional information regarding financial assistance is also available on our website at LeConteMedicalCenter.com. Signage at the registration areas state the following:It is LeConte Medical Center's philosophy that no one shall be denied medically necessary services based on an inability to pay. Financial assistance applications for medically necessary services are available during the registration process, through a financial counselor, or on our website at LeConteMedicalCenter.com. A financial counselor is available to assist you with these matters by calling 865-446-8687, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
Part VI, Line 4:Sevier County, Tennessee, is the primary market for LeConte. It is a rural community within close proximity to the metropolitan Knoxville area. LeConte is the only hospital in the county. According to internal hospital data for 2023, 71.6% of the inpatient encounters and 62% of the outpatient encounters originate from Sevier County, the focus of the assessment.The following statistics are taken from the 2023 County Health Rankings data of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The population of Sevier County is 99,517. Persons over the age of 65 account for 20.5% of the population. Nearly 21% of adults are uninsured as are 7% of children. The unemployment rate is 3.9%. Three-fourths of the population works in the hospitality/tourism sector, and the median household income is $51,771.According to the 2023 County Health Rankings Report of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, Sevier County residents have the following health indicators that are above the national benchmarks: Sevier - TN - National Adult Smoking: 23% - 20% - 16% Adult Obesity: 36% - 36% - 32% Children in Poverty: 19% - 18% - 17% Teen Birthrate: 30 - 27 - 19 of every 1,000 teenage girls Poor or Fair Health: 17% - 16% - 12% Physical Inactivity: 27% - 24% - 22% Drug Overdose Deaths 45 - 34 - 23 per 100,000 population
Part VI, Line 5:LeConte, in conjunction with its parent company, Covenant Health, uses any available surplus of receipts over disbursements to expand and modernize the facility and to support the education of healthcare professionals, both of which serve to improve patient care and serve the unmet needs of the community. Covenant Health's Board of Directors serves as LeConte's board. The board is comprised of independent community leaders with diverse educational and professional backgrounds. The board provides governance and oversight of LeConte. LeConte maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians. Additionally, the hospital operates an active and accessible emergency department that accepts all patients regardless of ability to pay.
Part VI, Line 6:LeConte, as a member of the Covenant Health system, benefits from the collaboration among all affiliated organizations to promote quality improvement, patient safety and efficient delivery of care for the communities served.As a system, Covenant assures that business processes are in place at each facility to measure and report quality; to increase the role of compliance; and to integrate risk management, utilization review, peer review, mandatory reporting and quality improvement into one cohesive function. In this way, the system is able to use analytic tools to help identify any systemic inability to satisfy the various requirements on the part of the facilities.LeConte's patients benefit from the availability of and ease of access to Covenant Health affiliated entities for services not provided by the hospital itself. Transfer or referral to such services is expedited and coordinated to help create a seamless continuum of care. A full range of community mental health and psychiatric hospital services are available within the system that help support the hospital's emergency room as well as provide an accessible and efficient pathway for those patients who require such services post discharge. Other specialized services such as inpatient rehabilitation, cardiac care, cancer treatment, home health and hospice services are provided by affiliated entities. The Covenant Health system also enhances the patient's access to care through the provision of outpatient services in a variety of settings located throughout the service area. These include a diabetes center, wound care center, bariatric surgery center, pulmonary rehabilitation programs, and ambulatory infusion centers.Thompson Cancer Survival Center participates with LeConte in educating the community about cancer prevention and treatment by providing information and materials at the Sevier County annual Relay for Life event. The Robert F. Thomas Foundation ("Foundation"), a not-for-profit fundraising organization, conducts fundraising events. A portion of the funds are donated to LeConte for the purpose of purchasing healthcare related equipment. In addition, the Foundation donates funds to be used for the continuing education of physical therapists employed by LeConte.Through this combination of resources and the collective development, implementation and monitoring of clinical protocols and other improvement initiatives, the affiliated entities of Covenant Health are able to deliver higher quality care in a more efficient manner than could be achieved working independently.

Depending on the nature of the conflict and the circumstances surrounding the conflict and transaction, the Chief Compliance Officer, senior leadership, or the board of directors may review the conflict of interest. When appropriate, these parties may also consult legal counsel. Restrictions imposed on persons with a conflict of interest are determined on a case by case basis. For Covenant Health employees, the Chief Compliance Officer in conjunction with Covenant Health Executive Leadership determines how to appropriately manage the conflict. In any conflict involving a board member, such member is expected to recuse himself or herself from voting on matters related to the conflict.
