ExplanationMillinocket Regional Hospital pays annual dues to the Maine Hospital Association (MHA) and the American Hospital Association (AHA) during the period covered by this Form 990. A portion of these dues was deemed to be available for lobbying purposes. During fiscal year 2024, the Hospital paid dues of $28,162 to MHA, of which 14.9%, or approximately $4,196, was available for lobbying expenditures. The AHA did not confirm the percentage of member dues paid by the Hospital that was available for lobbying expenditures. Accordingly, the Hospital is disclosing the total amount of dues paid during this tax year ($16,311) on this Schedule C for transparency purposes. In reality, the portion of these paid membership dues that was actually available for lobbying expenditures during the tax year was likely much less than the total paid.ExplanationTxt

Part X, Line 2:Millinocket Regional Hospital (MRH) and Legacy Medical Foundation (LMF), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MRH, are organized as Maine nonprofit corporations and have been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. The Hospital has evaluated the positions taken on its filed tax returns. The Hospital has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist at June 30, 2024. The Hospital believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements. The Hospital would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred.

Part I, Line 3c:In addition to Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG), Millinocket Regional Hospital considers a patient's asset level, medical indigency, and insurance status. Presumptive eligibility may be used if all other financial assistance options have been exhausted.
Part I, Line 7:Charity care expenses are converted to a cost-basis on this Schedule H, Part I, Line 7a. The conversion is based on an overall cost-to-charge ratio that addresses all patient segments. Additionally, the amounts reported on this Schedule H, Part I, Lines 7b and 7g were determined using the Medicaid and Medicare cost reports, respectively.In determining the amounts reported on this Schedule H, Part I, Line 7, bad debt expenses of $694,432 were removed from the calculations in accordance with IRS Instructions for Schedule H. These same bad debt expenses are reflected on this Form 990, Part IX.
Part I, Line 7g:Millinocket Regional Hospital has several hospital clinical services and hospital-owned physician practices. In accordance with IRS Instructions for the Form 990, Schedule H, Worksheet 6, organizations may include any applicable physician practices that are subsidized during the completion of Schedule H. Furthermore, the definitions for Schedule H, Worksheet 6 indicate that operating a service at a loss may constitute subsidizing a health service. Therefore, the Hospital has included the following hospital clinical services and hospital-owned physician practices that operated at a loss, and their associated costs, in the calculations for the Hospital's total subsidized health services, as reported on this Schedule H.a - Hospital based rural health clinicb - Outpatient clinicc - Millinocket Surgicald - Orthopedicse - Urologyf - Wound Careg - Walk in ClinicThe above-listed hospital clinical services and hospital-owned physician practices have a community benefit (i.e. aggregate loss or subsidy from the Hospital) of approximately $4.489 million. In addition, this community benefit-figure does not take into account bad debts, charity care, or contractual adjustments. Thus, this community benefit of approximately $4.179 million is a conservative figure that reconciles to the community benefit information reported on IRS Form 990, Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g, Column e.Form 990, Schedule H instructions and guidance contains a template (Worksheet 2) that may be used to determine the overall cost to charge ratio that could be applied throughout Schedule H in order to convert charges to a cost-of-service basis. Where applicable, the Hospital has utilized Worksheet 2 for various calculations. The only areas where Worksheet 2 was not utilized was in the preparation of this Schedule H, Part 1, Line 7, were the following:a. Schedule H Worksheet 6, Subsidized Health Services (the supporting worksheet for Part I, Line 7g): the Hospital did not utilize Worksheet 2 when calculating the percentage used when determining the profit or loss of each hospital clinical service and hospital-owned physician practice. Instead, when compiling the subsidized hospital clinical services and hospital-owned physician practices listed in 1c, the Hospital utilized the actual estimated costs on the modified Medicare cost report instead of applying the Worksheet 2 cost to charge percentage. b. Schedule H, Worksheet 3, Unreimbursed Medicaid and Other Means Tested Government Programs (the supporting schedule for Part I, Lines 7b and 7c); and Worksheet 6, Medicaid Allowable Costs for Subsidized Health Services, listed in line 1c above (which is part of the line 7g costs): the Hospital did not utilize the Worksheet 2 cost to charge percentage when calculating the Medicaid allowable cost. Instead, the Hospital utilized the actual, filed Medicaid cost report for the allowable costs.
Part I, Line 7, Column (f):The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 1,220,215.
Schedule H, Audited Financial Statements:The Hospital's audited financial statements for the period covered by this Form 990 have been substantially drafted as of the Form 990 filing due date, but have not yet been formally finalized or issued. Accordingly, the audit report and audited financial statements attached with this Form 990, Schedule H, are draft versions, and are not yet final. It is the intention of the Hospital to reconsider this Form 990 filing as soon as the audited financial statements are finalized and issued, and to amend this Form 990 in the event that there are any changes to the underlying audit report from the attached drafted version. Based on the Hospital's understanding of the current draft of the audited financial statements, the Hospital does not anticipate any material changes from the drafted version attached with this Form 990 to the final version pending issuance.
Part II, Community Building Activities:Millinocket Regional Hospital (MRH) has a long history of serving citizens in the Katahdin region and those citizens have long supported MRH. Through many difficult times that partnership has sustained both the region and local healthcare services. As the Katahdin region reinvents itself and moves forward MRH is moving forward as well and is excited to announce the establishment of a new foundation - the Legacy Medical Foundation - designed to develop a comprehensive philanthropy and stewardship effort. All foundation initiatives will be focused on expanding access to care and wellness services provided in the Katahdin region.The Hospital also regularly engages with area schools to promote youth health, education, and wellness initiatives. During the past few years, these activities took on special significance, as the Hospital sought to promote COVID-19 vaccination and to quell vaccine hesitancy in its community. MRH devoted much of its time and resources to combatting COVID-19 in its community, from vaccine clinics to public information campaigns. The Hospital also took efforts to teach children and families how they can stay safe and healthy at home, in school, and in the workplace.As a major healthcare provider in Northern Maine near the Katahdin Woods and Waters region, the Hospital actively encourages healthy lifestyles and provides many economic and health care opportunities to its broader community. The Hospital also educates its community on how to avoid healthcare-related scams and financial fraud.
Part III, Line 2:Patient accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to operations and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of individual accounts and historical adjustments. Balances that are still outstanding, after management has used reasonable collection efforts, are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to patient accounts receivable.In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Hospital analyzes past results and identifies trends for major payor sources of revenue for the purposes of estimating the appropriate amount for the allowance for doubtful accounts and the provision for bad debts. Data in each major payor source are regularly reviewed to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Specifically, for receivables relating to services provided to patients having third-party coverage, an allowance for doubtful accounts and a corresponding provision for bad debts are established at varying levels based on the age of the receivables and payor source. For receivables relating to self-pay patients, a provision for bad debts is made in the period services are rendered based on experience, indicating the inability or unwillingness of patients to pay amounts for which they are financially responsible.
Part III, Line 4:See Footnote 2 of the audited financial statements.
Part III, Line 8:Medicare allowable cost of care was calculated from the Medicare cost report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Medical services are provided to patients with Medicare coverage regardless of whether or not a surplus or deficit is realized. Providing Medicare services promotes access to healthcare services which are vitally needed by our community. The Medicare cost report is completed based on the rules and regulations set forth by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.As a critical access hospital, Millinocket Regional Hospital is reimbursed at 101% of Medicare allowable cost. This greater than 100% reimbursement rate may from time-to-time result in reported revenue received from Medicare in excess of total Medicare allowable costs.
Part III, Line 9b:In an effort to best serve our patients, all first-time statements include information on the availability of financial assistance for qualified patients. Our patient financial services department uses several resources to determine if a patient may be presumptively eligible for finance assistance; for example, eligibility for out-of-state Medicaid, or eligibility for other state-funded assistance programs, such as food stamps and patient homelessness. It is our practice to make a reasonable attempt to determine if a patient qualifies for financial assistance before sending an account to a collection agency. Any accounts previously sent to collections will be considered for financial assistance when an application is received, so long as the services were rendered not more than 240 days previously, or the patient was given a written notice that financial assistance was available for those specific services with a deadline dated after the 240 day period.
Part VI, Line 2:The Maine Shared CHNA is a public-private collaboration governed by a Steering Committee, which is made up of representatives of each member organization (CMHC, MGH, MH, NLH, and Maine CDC). The Steering Committee sets fiscal and operational goals that are then implemented by the Maine Shared CHNA Program Manager. Input is provided by key stakeholder groups including the Metrics Committee and the Health Equity/Community Engagement Committee.The Metrics Committee is charged with creating and reviewing a common set of population/community health indicators and measures every three years. Before the 2018-2019 Maine Shared CHNA, the Metrics Committee conducted an extensive review of the data using the following criteria as a guide: 1.] describes an emerging health issue; 2.] describes one or more social determinants of health; 3.] measures an actionable issue; 4.] the issue is known to have high health and social costs; 5.] rounds out our description of population health; 6.] aligns with national health assessments (e.g.: County Health Rankings, American Health Rankings, Healthy People); 7.] data is less than 2 years old; 8.] data was included in the previous data set, or 9.] the Maine CDC analyzes the indicator in a current program. This review process was carried into the 2021-2022 Maine Shared CHNA, where the Metrics Committee also reviewed the previous data set to check for changes in data sources, potential new sources of data to round out certain topics, and to deepen Social Determinants of Health data which many of our partners have included in their work.The Health Equity/Community Engagement Committee is charged with updating outreach methodology to ensure a collection of broad, diverse, and representative qualitative data from groups that are more likely to experience health disparities. To ensure these methods reflect the needs and cultural expectations this committee included representatives from a variety of Maine's ethnic-based and community-based organizations, along with representatives from public health and healthcare, and a variety of additional partners.The 2021-2022 Maine Shared CHNA process involved three phases:1 - Data Analysis:The first phase of the project involved the analysis of more than 220 health indicators for the state, counties, public health districts, selected cities, and by specific demographics when available. Data analysis was conducted by the Maine CDC and its epidemiology contractor, the University of Southern Maine with additional support from the contracted vendor, Market Decisions Research.2 - Community Outreach and EngagementCommunity outreach and engagement for the Maine Shared CHNA included the following efforts:- 17 County Forums (Maine)- 9 Community Sponsored Events- 1,000 Oral SurveysCounty Forums were held in each of Maine's 16 counties, with one county, Penobscot, hosting one event in western Penobscot and one in eastern Penobscot in recognition of the differences between Greater Portland (Maine's most densely populated area) and the Lakes Region, (a more rural area). Local planning teams led by local healthcare and public health district liaisons organized and promoted these events. Participants were shown a PowerPoint presentation with relevant county data and were led through guided discussions to identify indicators of concern. Participants then voted to identify their top four health priorities. They were then asked to share their knowledge on gaps and assets available in their communities to address each of the top priorities identified.New this cycle was an expanded effort to reach those who experience systemic disadvantages and therefore experience a greater rate of health disparities. Two types of outreach were piloted. One effort included nine community-sponsored events. The hosts were chosen for their statewide reach. The communities included: Black or African American; Homeless or formerly homeless; LGBTQ+ community; Older adults; people who are deaf or hard of hearing; people who live with a disability; people with low income; people with a mental health diagnosis; youth.These events followed the same methodology as county forums with hosts providing input on the data presentation and leading the effort to recruit participants Oral surveys were conducted in collaboration with eight ethnic-based community organizations' (ECBO's) community health workers to better reach Maine's immigrant population. There were 1,000 surveys were conducted in either English (32%), Somali, (24%), Arabic (23%), French (8%), Spanish (5%), Lingala (3%), and other languages including Swahili, Maay Maay, Portuguese, Oromo, Eretria, Kirundi, and Amara. When asked for their countries of origin, respondents most commonly cited the United States (212), Iraq (205), Somalia (157), The Democratic Republic of Congo (81), Djibouti (70), Kenya (30), and Mexico (29). Other countries of origin mentioned included Rwanda, Ethiopia, Angola, Syria, Guatemala, South Africa, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Morocco, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Nigeria, Canada, Burundi, Eritrea, France, Honduras, Uganda, Jamaica, Mali, Gabon, Sudan, Nicaragua, Peru, and Brazil.The survey was an adaptation of the City of Portland's Minority Health Program Survey conducted in 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2018. In 2021, a small group of stakeholders convened to adapt this survey to meet the needs of the Maine Shared CHNA. This group included those who deployed the survey as well as other interested parties. Groups that piloted these new outreach methods were offered stipends for their time. Due to concerns related to COVID-19, community engagements efforts were conducted virtually except the event for the deaf or hard of hearing, which was held in a gymnasium at the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf on Mackworth Island. Oral surveys were conducted telephonically or by following current U.S. CDC COVID-19 protocols. Community engagement was supported by John Snow, Inc. (JSI), who also conducted the initial qualitative analysis. All support materials including Data Profiles and PowerPoints were produced by Market Decisions Research.3 - ReportingInitial analysis for each event and the oral surveys were reviewed by local hosts for accuracy and to ensure the information the community may find sensitive was flagged. Final CHNA reports for the state, each county, and districts were developed in the spring of 2022. Final Reports were written and produced by Market Decisions Research.In addition to Urban, County, and Health District reports, the County, District, and State level data are also available on an Interactive Data Portal. The data in the portal is arranged by health topic and provides demographic comparisons, trends over time, definitions, and information on the data sources. Visit www.mainechna.org and click on Interactive Data in the menu to the left. The Maine Shared CHNA website is hosted by the Maine DHHS. (www.mainechna.org).While our quantitative data pre-dates the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 community health needs assessment outreach took place during the pandemic, and participants noted its impacts in deep and meaningful ways. It was impossible not to recognize the pandemic's impacts on healthcare, health outcomes, behavioral health, and social support systems, especially for those who experience systemic disadvantages. Thus, the findings in the 2022 Maine Shared CHNA Reports which show the most often identified priorities such as mental health, substance and alcohol use, access to care, and social determinants of health take on new meaning and an increased sense of urgency.This is the fourth Maine Shared CHNA and the third conducted on a triennial basis. The Collaboration began with the One Maine initiative published in 2010. The project was renamed to the Shared Health Needs Assessment and Planning Process in 2015 which informed the 2016 final reports, and renamed to the Maine Shared CHNA in 2018, which informed the 2019 final reports. The 2021 community engagement cycle has informed the 2022 final reports.
