The Steering Committee was comprised of representatives from BMH, the Brattleboro Retreat, Grace Cottage Family Health & Hospital, and the Brattleboro Office of the VDH, the Agency of Human Services District Director and the BMH Health Equity Coordinator. The group met multiple times over that year to develop the various sections of the CHNA. The data collection process took place from March 2021 through May 2021. The Community Health Needs Assessment was approved by the Board in December 14, 2021. Brattleboro Memorial Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 6a: The Hospital's CHNA was conducted in partnership with Grace Cottage Hospital and The Brattleboro Retreat. Brattleboro Memorial Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 11: Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) completed a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in 2021. The CHNA revealed five areas of need. They are as follows: Mental Health (including Depression and Anxiety), Healthy Aging (including physical fitness, obesity and arthritis), Chronic Conditions (Diabetes, Hypertension, Substance Use Disorder and COPD), Cancer, and Health Equity and Affordability.

When making application for Free Care, patients are first asked to investigate whether or not they may be eligible for Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans' Benefits or other governmental or public assistance programs. Free Care should always be the payor of last resort.A. Qualifications for Free Care:1. Free Care is limited to medically necessary services. Patients receiving certain elective services, such as those considered cosmetic, investigational or experimental, are expected to make payment arrangements in advance, as these types of services are not covered by Free Care;2. Patients' family income must be at or below 250% of the current Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for their family size;3. Patients or their guarantors must complete a Free Care application and provide the hospital with verification of income. Responsible parties may be asked to disclose the identity and amounts of any assets that could be used to pay for medical expenses.NOTE: Income verification may be waived at the discretion of the Director of Patient Financial Services, particularly in those instances in which patients have subsequently qualified for Medicaid, or are deceased, with no estate;4. Free Care applications will be processed within two weeks of the date of their receipt in our Business Office;5. Free Care applies only to those patient accounts still in active Accounts Receivable; no Free Care allowance may be applied against accounts that have been forwarded to a collection agency as Bad Debt.B. Patients will be notified in writing of their approval or denial status within 30 days of the date of receipt of the application and any required supporting documentation. All accounts written off to Free Care must be approved by the Vice President of Revenue Cycle or the Chird Financial Officer. Part I, Line 7: A cost accounting system was used to calculate the amounts reported in the table. The cost accounting system addresses all patient segments. A cost-to-charge ratio was used. Part II, Community Building Activities: The director of Community Initiatives is involved with several community coalitions and programming such as the Accountable Community for Health, Community Health Team, Healthworks, Tobacco prevention and cessation programing and the NAACP Health Justice Committee. The Accountable Communities for Health brings approx. 30-50 community partners together to discuss current programs and concerns around Mental Health and overall health of the community. The Community Health team supports people with nutrition support, care coordination and mental health supports. Healthworks is a collaboration of several community partners assisting folks who are unhoused with case management, therapy, primary care, nursing and substance use disorder. The Tobacco prevention and cessation programing addresses the spectrum of tobacco use. The NAACP Health Justice committee address health related needs of our BIPOC community. 2. Our Director of Nutrition Services supports local agriculture & has been recognized for BMH's level of support. 550 BMH employees benefit from local foods & healthy choices on our breakfast, lunch & dinner menus daily. Part III, Line 2: The Hospital utilized Worksheet 2 from IRS Schedule H Instructions/guidance to determine the ratio of patient care costs to charge ratio (43.43% for fiscal year 2022) and multiplied this ratio by the Hospital's total bad debt expense of $4,824,020 to determine Part II, Line 2 bad debt expense of $2,094,939. Part III, Line 3: The estimated bad debt that may be eligible for our charity care policy was based on a 50% eligibility rate. Part III, Line 4: 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 collectibility of accounts receivable, the Hospital analyzes past results and identifies trends for each of its major payor sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Hospital analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts, if necessary. For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which include both patients without insurance and patients with deductible and copayment balances due for which third-party coverage exists for part of the bill), the Hospital records a provision for bad debts in the period of service based on past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay amounts for which they are financially responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated or eligible) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Any changes resulted from trends experienced in the collection of amounts from self-pay patients with and without insurance. Any changes in the allowance was a result of actual write-offs of self-pay balances deemed uncollectibles. Part III, Line 8: The Medicare shortfall should be considered a community benefit in its entirety. The Medicare shortfall presented is based upon the IRS instuctions to only include the Medicare cost report claims data. The Medicare shortfall is significantly more due to physician and fee schedule data not being included. A cost-to-charge ratio was used. Part III, Line 9b: Patients or their guarantors must complete a Free Care application and provide the hospital with verification of income. Responsible parties may be asked to disclose the identity and amounts of any assets that could be used to pay for medical expenses.NOTE: Income verification may be waived at the discretion of the Director of Patient Financial Services, particularly in those instances in which patients have subsequently qualified for Medicaid, or are deceased, with no estate. Part VI, Line 2: BMH conducted the 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment. The needs assessment addressed health and wellness in Windham County, inclusive of lifestyle, access to care, maternal & child health, illness & death, and injury. Methodology included data analysis, on-line surveys, survey questionnaire distribution at various locations and COVID vaccine sites.
