PRIORITIES WERE JOINTLY DETERMINED BY THE CHNA COLLABORATING HEALTH SYSTEMS USING FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. THROUGH THIS PROCESS, CHNA PARTNERS AFFIRMED THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS: ACCESS TO CARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT THESE PRIORITIES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THOSE DETERMINED IN THE PREVIOUS FY2019 CHNA AND REFLECT COMPLEX NEEDS REQUIRING SUSTAINED COMMITMENT AND RESOURCES. MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH NEEDS ARE ALSO PREVALENT ACROSS THE SERVICE AREA. WHILE CHNA PARTNERS DID NOT IDENTIFY MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH AS A PRIORITY ISSUE DUE TO THE NEED TO FOCUS AVAILABLE RESOURCES, MANY OF THE HOSPITALS SUPPORT MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH STRATEGIES AS PART OF THEIR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THESE STRATEGIES INCLUDE FREE OR LOW-COST CLASSES AND SUPPORT GROUPS FOR PREGNANT AND NEW MOTHERS, LACTATION CONSULTATION, TREATMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES FOR MOTHERS IN RECOVERY, SOCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION SCREENING, AMONG OTHERS. CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO DIRECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES, CHNA PARTNERS CREATED INDIVIDUAL HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO DETAIL THE RESOURCES AND SERVICES THAT WILL BE USED TO ADDRESS HEALTH PRIORITIES.

COLLABORATION IN THIS WAY CONSERVES VITAL COMMUNITY RESOURCES WHILE FOSTERING A PLATFORM FOR "COLLECTIVE IMPACT" THAT ALIGNS COMMUNITY EFFORTS TOWARD A COMMON GOAL OR ACTION. TO DISTINGUISH UNIQUE SERVICE AREAS AMONG HOSPITALS, REGIONAL RESEARCH AND REPORTING WAS DEVELOPED.

GEISINGER'S COVID-19 RESPONSE IN RESPONSE TO THE FORMIDABLE CHALLENGE POSED BY THE PANDEMIC, GEISINGER SWIFTLY ADAPTED ITS OPERATIONS TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, MANIFESTING IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS: - VACCINE DISTRIBUTION: GEISINGER FACILITATED THE DISTRIBUTION OF OVER 320,000 VACCINES TO DATE. WE REPURPOSED VACANT OFFICE SPACES INTO VACCINATION CENTERS, EFFICIENTLY INOCULATING BOTH OUR EMPLOYEES AND THE WIDER COMMUNITY. - OUR WALK-IN CARE LOCATIONS SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONED INTO TESTING FACILITIES, PROVIDING ESSENTIAL TESTING SERVICES AND ACTING AS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR SCHOOLS AND EMPLOYERS SEEKING TESTING AND RETURN TO WORK/SCHOOL DOCUMENTATION. - A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT INVOLVED COORDINATING 2,300 DEPLOYMENTS/INTERVENTIONS WITH SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES ACROSS THE STATE. WE PROVIDED CRUCIAL ASSISTANCE IN RAPID RESPONSE, ENSURING ADEQUATE PPE, CONDUCTING NECESSARY TESTING, IMPLEMENTING INFECTION PREVENTION MEASURES, AND ADMINISTERING VACCINES. - CONTACT TRACING: WHILE TYPICALLY A RESPONSIBILITY OF PUBLIC HEALTH, GEISINGER TOOK PROACTIVE MEASURES TO INTERCEPT THE VIRUS'S SPREAD THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE CONTACT TRACING EFFORTS. WE REDEPLOYED DOZENS OF EMPLOYEES TO BOLSTER OUR CONTACT TRACING INITIATIVES. IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER OF 2020, GEISINGER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED OVER 3,000 NOTIFICATIONS AS PART OF OUR EXTENSIVE CONTACT TRACING EFFORTS. - COMMUNITY SUPPORT: GEISINGER ORCHESTRATED A SERIES OF INFORMATIVE WEBINARS, TOWN HALLS, AND DIGITAL RESOURCES AIMED AT KEEPING SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, CHAMBERS, AND EMPLOYERS WELL-INFORMED ABOUT THE EVER- EVOLVING PANDEMIC. OUR FRESH FOOD FARMACY INITIATIVE PLAYED A VITAL ROLE BY PROVIDING AN IMPRESSIVE 42,000 MEALS PER MONTH TO PARTICIPANTS, ADDRESSING A CRUCIAL NEED IN THE COMMUNITY. FURTHER EXTENDING OUR SUPPORT, OUR 65 FORWARD LOCATIONS ORGANIZED OUTDOOR EXERCISE CLASSES AND DISTRIBUTED CARE PACKAGES CONTAINING ESSENTIAL PERSONAL CARE ITEMS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE CONFINED TO THEIR HOMES. ANY PLAN AIMED AT REDUCING BARRIERS TO CARE HAD TO INCORPORATE TELEMEDICINE OPTIONS. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SAW A SIGNIFICANT SURGE IN TELEHEALTH UTILIZATION ACROSS THE NATION, AND GEISINGER CAPITALIZED ON THIS OPPORTUNITY, EMERGING AS A LEADING TELEHEALTH NETWORK IN THE US, SURPASSING NATIONAL AVERAGES FOR TELEMEDICINE USE. AS PART OF OUR ROUTINE SCHEDULING PROCESS, WE INQUIRED IF PATIENTS PREFERRED A TELEHEALTH VISIT. IF SO, WE PROMPTLY ARRANGED THE APPOINTMENT AND SENT AN EMAIL WITH A DIRECT LINK TO THEIR PROVIDER OR ANY OF THE 72 SPECIALTIES AVAILABLE FOR VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS. FOR PATIENTS LACKING INTERNET ACCESS AT HOME, GEISINGER OFFERED TELEHEALTH VISITS AT THEIR NEAREST HEALTH CLINIC. TELEMEDICINE NOT ONLY BENEFITED PATIENTS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION BUT ALSO CATERED TO THOSE WHO ENDURED LENGTHY DRIVES OR CHALLENGING WEATHER CONDITIONS TO VISIT THEIR DOCTOR, CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MIGHT HAVE LED TO APPOINTMENT CANCELLATIONS. IN MANY CASES, TELEMEDICINE ENABLED WAGE-EARNING PATIENTS TO CONSULT THEIR DOCTOR WITHOUT CLOCKING OUT AND LOSING PAY, AS OUR DOCTORS COULD CONNECT WITH THEM BEFORE WORK OR DURING THEIR LUNCH HOUR. GEISINGER HAD INTEGRATED CLINICAL AND POPULATION HEALTH EXPERTISE TO ADDRESS ACCESS NEEDS FOR TWO DISTINCT PATIENT POPULATIONS: THOSE BURDENED BY THE RISING COSTS OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND THE RAPIDLY GROWING SENIOR POPULATION. WE HAD INTEGRATED A RANGE OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES CRUCIAL FOR THESE DEMOGRAPHICS, INCORPORATING CARE MODELS SUCH AS TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL SERVICES, 65 FORWARD (SENIOR PRIMARY CARE), CONVENIENT CARE (WALK-IN CLINICS AND URGENT CARE), COMMUNITY CARE CLINICS (URGENT CARE AND PRIMARY CARE), AND VIRTUAL HEALTH INITIATIVES. THIS INTEGRATION ENABLED US TO EFFICIENTLY ADDRESS ACUTE, CHRONIC, AND URGENT CARE NEEDS IN THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE SETTINGS WHILE ENHANCING ACCESS TO OUTPATIENT CARE FOR DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND PREVENTION. IN 2022, GEISINGER COMMONWEALTH SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (GCSOM) MADE STRIDES TOWARD SOLIDIFYING A PARTNERSHIP TO REOPEN THE LEAHY CLINIC, A PROVIDER OF FREE NON-EMERGENCY HEALTHCARE, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON, TRANSFORMING IT INTO A LONGITUDINAL FREE CLINIC FOR LACKAWANNA COUNTY. IN LINE WITH THIS COMMITMENT, GEISINGER HAD CONTRIBUTED TO "A COMMUNITY CLINIC", WHICH PROVIDED HEALTHCARE FOR THE UNINSURED IN SUNBURY, OFFERING SUPPORT IN MARKETING, REFERRALS, AND PROVIDING LAB AND X-RAY SUPPORT TO THE CLINIC. IN THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH EQUITY, GEISINGER HAD DEVELOPED OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, NONPROFITS, AND FAITH-BASED GROUPS, AIMED AT EDUCATING, INFORMING, AND GUIDING INDIVIDUALS TOWARDS WELLNESS CARE. ENSURING HEALTHCARE ACCESS HAD NECESSITATED AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO SERVE THE PATIENT POPULATION. GEISINGER HAD SUCCESSFULLY RECRUITED AND RETAINED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WITHIN THE SYSTEM THROUGH A SERIES OF INITIATIVES. OUR SYSTEMWIDE CLINICAL CO-OP PROGRAM ENGAGED HIGH SCHOOL AND TECHNICAL SCHOOL SENIORS INTERESTED IN HEALTHCARE, PROVIDING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AS NURSING ASSISTANTS FOR A YEAR. THEY GAINED EXPOSURE BY SHADOWING OUR NURSES IN PHLEBOTOMY OR SURGICAL TECH. THESE CO-OP PROGRAMS ENCOURAGED MANY TO ENROLL IN NURSING SCHOOL WITH OUR SUPPORT AND SUBSEQUENTLY JOIN GEISINGER UPON GRADUATION. OUR NURSE RESIDENCY PROGRAM HAD TARGETED RECENT NURSING GRADUATES, SUPPORTING THEM THROUGH THEIR INITIAL AND OFTEN CHALLENGING YEAR OF NURSING PRACTICE BY PROVIDING EDUCATION THROUGH RESIDENCY SESSIONS, CLASSES, AND SIMULATIONS CONDUCTED BY OUR STAFF. AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM, WE HAD OFFERED A SIX-MONTH MEDICAL SURGICAL FELLOWSHIP FOR NEW NURSES SEEKING SPECIALIZATION IN CARDIAC, ONCOLOGY, TRAUMA, OR SURGERY. FELLOWSHIP COURSES WERE LED BY OUR EXPERIENCED NURSES, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, AND SURGEONS. THE ABIGAIL GEISINGER SCHOLARS PROGRAM HAD CATERED TO GCSOM STUDENTS WILLING TO WORK AT GEISINGER AS PHYSICIANS IN FAMILY MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE, MEDICINE/PEDIATRICS, OR PSYCHIATRY. IN EXCHANGE FOR A WORK COMMITMENT OF UP TO FOUR YEARS, SELECTED SCHOLARS HAD RECEIVED TUITION SUPPORT AND A MONTHLY STIPEND. MOREOVER, AN ABIGAIL GEISINGER SCHOLAR PROGRAM WAS OPEN TO ANYONE WORKING IN OUR NURSING DEPARTMENT. WHEN THEY MET THE CRITERIA, WE HAD ASSISTED THEM IN ENROLLING IN NURSING SCHOOL. THESE COMPETITIVE RECRUITMENT PROGRAMS HAD ENSURED A CONSISTENT PIPELINE OF NURSES AND PHYSICIANS TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES IN THE FUTURE. GEISINGER COMMONWEALTH SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (GCSOM) HAD RECEIVED A SIGNIFICANT PASMART ADVANCING COMPUTER SCIENCE AND STEM EDUCATION GRANT FROM THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. THE GRANT, AMOUNTING TO 494,262, HAD BEEN AIMED AT FOSTERING PARTNERSHIPS WITH VARIOUS SCHOOLS TO PREPARE STUDENTS IN HAZLETON, SCRANTON, WILKES-BARRE, COLUMBIA, AND NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTIES FOR CAREERS IN MEDICINE AND STEM-RELATED FIELDS. THIS INITIATIVE, KNOWN AS THE PA PHYSICIAN READY PROGRAM, HAD NOT ONLY ADDRESSED THE PHYSICIAN SHORTAGE BUT HAD ALSO INCREASED DIVERSITY IN MEDICAL CAREERS AND MET THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE DEMANDS IN PENNSYLVANIA. BY TARGETING UNDERREPRESENTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THOSE FACING BARRIERS TO HIGHER EDUCATION, THIS PROGRAM HAD STRIVED TO BRIDGE GAPS AND PAVE THE WAY FOR A DIVERSE AND QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR ELIGIBILITY MAY CONSIST OF INCOME AND ASSET INFORMATION, INCLUSIVE BUT NOT LIMITED TO: FEDERAL INCOME TAX FORM 1040 FROM THE PRIOR YEAR, PAY STUB COPIES, WRITTEN VERIFICATION OF ANY OTHER INCOME RECEIVED (I.E. SOCIAL SECURITY, ADC, CHILD SUPPORT, ALIMONY, ETC.), CURRENT CREDIT REPORTS AND ASSET VERIFICATION. THE HOSPITAL MAY ALSO UTILIZE INDUSTRY TESTED EXTERNAL ANALYTICAL TOOLS TO QUALIFY PATIENTS FOR UNCOMPENSATED CARE (AKA PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY). GEISINGER PROVIDERS, WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION, CARE FOR ALL EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS TO INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY OR ABILITY TO PAY. IT IS THE POLICY OF GEISINGER HOSPITAL FACILITIES TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS OF THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ACTIVE LABOR TRANSPORT ACT OF 1986 ("EMTLA") AND REGULATIONS IN PROVIDING MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION AND SUCH FURTHER TREATMENT AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO STABILIZE AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL PRESENTING TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SEEKING TREATMENT.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT: A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL AND ITS RELATED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS TO THE GEISINGER HEALTH FINANCE COMMITTEE EACH YEAR.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G	THERE ARE NO PHYSICIAN CLINICAL SERVICES INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE COSTS REPORTED ON LINE 7 AND ADDRESSED PATIENT SEGMENTS BY PAYOR (E.G. MEDICARE, MEDICAID, COMMERCIAL PAYERS, SELF-PAY, ETC.). A COST TO CHARGE RATIO, CALCULATED PURSUANT TO WORKSHEET 2 OF THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE.

DURING CALENDAR 2022, APPROXIMATELY 15% OF THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS WERE SUBSEQUENTLY RECLASSIFIED TO UNCOMPENSATED OR CHARITY CARE.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	PART III, LINES 2 AND 4: GEISINGER HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES ("GEISINGER"), THAT INCLUDES THE HOSPITAL, PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, ANNUALLY. FOOTNOTE 2, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BEGINNING AT PAGE 7 WITHIN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOUNTING FOR NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THIS DISCLOSURE ALSO DESCRIBES THE RELATED EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AND BAD DEBTS EXPENSE. CHARITY CARE IS ALSO DESCRIBED IN THE SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. GEISINGER'S PRICE CONCESSIONS, BAD DEBTS AND CHARITY CARE METHODOLOGIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL CHARITABLE AFFILIATES.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	PART III, LINE 3-BAD DEBT: MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND THE COST OF BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON- DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). SATISFYING THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," AS ARTICULATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, IS CURRENTLY REQUIRED FOR A HOSPITAL TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) 501(C)(3). THIS RULING REMOVED THE PREVIOUS REQUIREMENT OF REVENUE RULING 56-185, KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD," THAT IN ORDER TO BE A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE. THIS EARLIER RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL WAS CHARITABLE SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. REVENUE RULING 56-185 ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT IMPACT A HOSPITAL'S CHARITABLE STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. AS DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, UNDER THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD, HOSPITALS WERE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED THOSE WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES EITHER BY THEMSELVES, THROUGH PRIVATE INSURANCE OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS CHARITABLE BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM CHARITABLE, AS REQUIRED BY TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.501 (C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO THOSE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER FACTORS THAT DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT INCLUDED: SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH; AND IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS) AND BAD DEBT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA'S LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 RESPONDING TO A DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA ARGUED THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS) IS COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: -PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS REMAINS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. -MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR HOSPITALS SPEND TO CARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10 YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. -MANY MEDICARE PATIENTS, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46% OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, SO CALLED -DUAL ELIGIBLES". PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM LEVEL OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO RETAIN EXEMPTION FROM STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. ACCORDING TO STATE GUIDANCE AND CASE LAW, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE AND BAD DEBT IS CONSIDERED TO BE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR STATE TAX EXEMPTION PURPOSES. PART III, LINE 6 ONLY INCLUDES THOSE COSTS THAT ARE PERMITTED TO BE REPORTED IN THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE HOSPITAL CONSIDERS THE TOTAL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) OF 2,765,824 SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. ALONG WITH PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICAID PATIENTS AND PROVIDING FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE TO OTHER LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. LIKE MEDICAID, MEDICARE DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS, FORCING THE HOSPITAL TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE SHORTFALL. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE REGARDLESS OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND IS THEREBY PROVIDING ACCESS TO MEDICAL SERVICES FOR THE ELDERLY AND RELIEVING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY THAT MANY MEDICARE PATIENTS WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER NEED-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. THE AMOUNT EXPENDED TO COVER THE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS. BOTH THE HOSPITAL AND THE AHA BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT BE REPORTED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS), BAD DEBT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE: -A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO FOR MANY REASONS DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP). A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO"), "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." -THE CBO REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR CHARITABLE MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ACCORDING TO THE CBO REPORT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. (DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022, APPROXIMATELY 15% OF THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE.) THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE (BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE) AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZED NATIONALLY. THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE REINFORCE THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE CHARITABLE MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS' BEAR IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL INVESTS SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN SYSTEMS AND STAFF TRAINING TO ASSIST PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR THE
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	THE HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND THE HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED TO ALL PATIENTS. IT IS THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COUNSELING TO PATIENTS WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS. A PATIENT MAY BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT ANY TIME DURING TREATMENT OR DURING THE CONTINUUM OF THE FINANCIAL/BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. IN ANY STAGE OF THE BILLING PROCESS, COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE NOT PURSUED WHENEVER A PATIENT APPLIES AND IS BEING EVALUATED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE HOSPITAL FREEZE OR ATTACH BANK ACCOUNTS OF A PATIENT, ENFORCE LIENS, ACTIVELY PURSUE ASSETS FROM A PRIOR JUDGMENT OR GARNISH THE WAGES OF A PATIENT AND/OR FAMILY MEMBER BEFORE DETERMINING IF THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. GEISINGER MANAGEMENT HAS DEVELOPED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A PATIENT'S GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO APPLY FOR GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM GEISINGER AND A PATIENT'S GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH HIS OR HER PAYMENT AGREEMENTS. BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY: THE BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ADMINISTERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS FEDERAL AND STATE LAW. THE POLICY IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY WHILE MAINTAINING GEISINGER'S FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY TO MAXIMIZE REIMBURSEMENT AND MINIMIZE BAD DEBT. THE ORGANIZATION'S BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY IS INTENDED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HIS OR HER CARE. THE ORGANIZATION MAKES SURE THAT PATIENTS ARE ASSISTED IN OBTAINING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FROM PRIVATELY AND PUBLICLY FUNDED SOURCES, WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ALL BUSINESS OFFICE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE EDUCATED ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY AND ARE EXPECTED TO ADMINISTER THE POLICY ON A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT BASIS. BUSINESS OFFICE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS WITH COURTESY, RESPECT, CONFIDENTIALITY AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. THE BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ADMINISTERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES. THE GEISINGER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER HAVE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILLING AND COLLECTION ACTIVITIES OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BUSINESS OFFICE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY ENFORCEMENT OF APPROVED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. GEISINGER MAY OFFER EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS TO PATIENTS WHO ARE COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS. EMERGENCY & MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES: GEISINGER DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIONS THAT DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS FROM SEEKING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. THE ORGANIZATION WILL NEVER DEMAND THAT AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENT PAY BEFORE RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, GEISINGER DOES NOT PERMIT DEBT COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR OTHER AREAS WHERE SUCH ACTIVITIES COULD INTERFERE WITH THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY CARE ON A NONDISCRIMINATORY BASIS. ALL MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF ABILITY TO PAY AND ARE NOT DELAYED PENDING APPLICATION OR APPROVAL OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR THE GEISINGER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ADVANCE PAYMENT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ANY MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6): GEISINGER DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ("ECAS") AS DEFINED BY INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6) PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD IS DEFINED AS A 120-DAY PERIOD OR GREATER, WHICH BEGINS ON THE DATE OF THE 1ST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT, IN WHICH NO ECAS ARE INITIATED AGAINST THE PATIENT. SUBSEQUENT TO THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD GEISINGER, OR ANY THIRD PARTIES ACTING ON ITS BEHALF, MAY INITIATE THE FOLLOWING ECAS AGAINST A PATIENT FOR AN UNPAID BALANCE IF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION HAS NOT BEEN MADE OR IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS INELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. GEISINGER MAY AUTHORIZE THIRD PARTIES TO REPORT ADVERSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL TO CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES OR CREDIT BUREAUS ON DELINQUENT PATIENT ACCOUNTS AFTER THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. THE ORGANIZATION ENSURES REASONABLE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND ENSURES THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE TAKEN AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO INITIATING ANY ECA: 1) THE PATIENT IS PROVIDED WITH WRITTEN NOTICE WHICH: INDICATES THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR ELIGIBLE PATIENTS; IDENTIFIES THE ECA(S) THAT GEISINGER INTENDS TO INITIATE TO OBTAIN PAYMENT FOR THE CARE; AND STATES A DEADLINE AFTER WHICH SUCH ECAS MAY BE INITIATED. 2) THE PATIENT IS PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY; AND 3) REASONABLE EFFORTS ARE MADE TO ORALLY NOTIFY THE PATIENT ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND HOW THE INDIVIDUAL MAY OBTAIN ASSISTANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS. GEISINGER PROCESSES ALL APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SUBMITTED DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD. THE APPLICATION PERIOD BEGINS ON THE DATE THE CARE IS PROVIDED AND ENDS ON THE 240TH DAY AFTER THE DATE OF THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2	CHNA COLLABORATING HEALTH SYSTEMS THE 2021 GEISINGER COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WAS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GEISINGER, ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. THE STUDY AREA INCLUDED 15 COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH REPRESENTED THE HEALTH SYSTEMS' COLLECTIVE SERVICE AREAS. COLLABORATION IN THIS WAY CONSERVES VITAL COMMUNITY RESOURCES WHILE FOSTERING A PLATFORM FOR "COLLECTIVE IMPACT" THAT ALIGNS COMMUNITY EFFORTS TOWARD A COMMON GOAL OR ACTION. TO DISTINGUISH UNIQUE SERVICE AREAS AMONG HOSPITALS, REGIONAL RESEARCH AND REPORTING WAS DEVELOPED. 2021 CHNA GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS AND PRIMARY SERVICE COUNTIES 1- CENTRAL REGION INCLUDING THE COUNTIES OF COLUMBIA, MONTOUR, NORTHUMBERLAND, SCHUYLKILL, SNYDER AND UNION REPRESENTED BY GEISINGER- BLOOMSBURG HOSPITAL, GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER (INCLUDES GEISINGER SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL), GEISINGER ENCOMPASS HEALTH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (DBA GEISINER ENCOMPASS HEALTH REHABILITATION HOSPITAL) AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. 2- NORTH CENTRAL REGION INCLUDING THE COUNTIES OF CLINTON AND LYCOMING REPRESENTED BY GEISINGER JERSEY SHORE HOSPITAL AND GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER MUNCY (LICENSED/OPERATIONAL JANUARY 2022) 3- NORTHEAST REGION INCLUDING THE COUNTIES OF LACKAWANNA, LUZERNE, WAYNE AND WYOMING REPRESENTED BY ALLIED SERVICES REHAB HOSPITAL, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (DBA GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER, GEISINGER WYOMING VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER (INCLUDES GEISINGER SOUTH WILKES-BARRE) AND HEINZ REHAB HOSPITAL. 4- WESTERN REGION INCLUDING THE COUNTIES OF CENTRE, JUNIATA AND MIFFLIN REPRESENTED BY GEISINGER-LEWISTOWN HOSPITAL. GEISINGER SYSTEMWIDE CHNA APPROACH THE 2021 CHNA FOCUSED ON THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREAS OF EACH OF GEISINGER'S NINE HOSPITAL CAMPUSES. UNDERSTANDING OVERLAPPING GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES, SOCIOECONOMICS, AND RELATED COMMUNITY INDICATORS, GEISINGER HOSPITALS WERE GROUPED INTO REGIONS TO ALLOW FOR LOCALIZED DATA COMPARISONS. SYSTEMWIDE PRIORITIES WERE DETERMINED TO ADDRESS COMMON NEEDS ACROSS THE WHOLE SERVICE AREA, WHILE INDIVIDUAL HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OUTLINED SPECIFIC STRATEGIES TO GUIDE LOCAL EFFORTS AND COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. SEE ALSO THE DISCUSSION RELATED TO THE RESPONSE TO PART V, LINE 5.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4	FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE 2021 CHNA, GJSH DEFINED ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AS FIVE ZIP CODES WITHIN THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION. THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA WAS IDENTIFIED BASED ON THE PATIENT ZIP CODES OF ORIGIN COMPRISING 80% OR MORE OF HOSPITAL DISCHARGES IN FISCAL YEAR 2019. NORTH CENTRAL REGION POPULATION TRENDS THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION IS PREDOMINANTLY RURAL. TOTAL POPULATION OF THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION IS APPROXIMATELY 150,000; 75% OF THE POPULATION IS LOCATED WITHIN LYCOMING COUNTY. WILLIAMSPORT (LYCOMING COUNTY) IS THE LARGEST MUNICIPALITY IN THE REGION WITH APPROXIMATELY 30,000 RESIDENTS. THE WILLIAMSPORT POPULATION IS MORE DIVERSE IN AGE, RACE, AND ETHNICITY THAN THE SURROUNDING MUNICIPALITIES. LYCOMING COLLEGE (1,100 STUDENT BODY) AND PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY, KNOWN AS PENN COLLEGE, (5,000 STUDENT BODY) ARE LOCATED IN WILLIAMSPORT. LOCK HAVEN IS THE LARGEST CITY CENTER IN CLINTON COUNTY WITH APPROXIMATELY 10,000 RESIDENTS. LOCK HAVEN IS THE COUNTY SEAT AND HOME TO LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA WITH A STUDENT BODY OF ABOUT 3,400. AS A WHOLE, THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS DIVERSE AND OLDER AS COMPARED TO STATE AND/OR NATIONAL BENCHMARKS. PENNSYLVANIA AND THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION HAVE A HIGHER MEDIAN AGE THAN THE NATION. APPROXIMATELY 20% OF RESIDENTS ACROSS THE STATE AND REGION ARE AGE 65 OR OVER, AND THAT PERCENTAGE IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE NEARLY 7 PERCENTAGE POINTS BY 2025. THE CLINTON COUNTY POPULATION DECLINED BY 5.1% FROM 2017- 2020, THE LARGEST POPULATION DECLINE IN THE GEISINGER SERVICE AREA. THIS PACE IS PROJECTED TO SLOW BY 2025 AND ALIGN WITH LYCOMING COUNTY AT ABOUT -1.5%. ABOUT 5% OF RESIDENTS IN LYCOMING COUNTY ARE BLACK COMPARED TO 1.6% IN CLINTON COUNTY, AND LESS THAN 3% OF RESIDENTS IN EITHER COUNTY IDENTIFY AS LATINX (OF ANY RACE). GREATER DIVERSITY IN LYCOMING COUNTY IS DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY THE WILLIAMSPORT CITY POPULATION, WHERE 14% OF THE POPULATION IS BLACK AND ABOUT 4% OF THE POPULATION IS LATINX (OF ANY RACE). THE AMISH POPULATION MAKES UP APPROXIMATELY 2.5% OF THE TOTAL NORTH CENTRAL REGION POPULATION. CLINTON COUNTY HAS MORE THAN TWICE AS MANY AMISH (2,527) AS LYCOMING COUNTY (1,194). THE ESTIMATED AMISH POPULATION FOR THE REGION INCREASED NEARLY 11% FROM 3,360 TO 3,721 FROM 2017 TO 2020. DISABILITY-BOTH PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE-IS MORE PREVALENT AMONG PEOPLE IN THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION THAN IN OTHER PA COUNTIES. WHILE SENIORS COMPRISE THE MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS WITH A DISABILITY, WITHIN CLINTON COUNTY, MORE THAN 7% OF YOUTH REPORT A DISABILITY COMPARED TO 5% STATEWIDE. SOCIOECONOMIC TRENDS CLINTON AND LYCOMING COUNTIES BOAST RICH NATURAL RESOURCES AND A LONG HERITAGE IN AGRICULTURE AND MANUFACTURING. MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES RESIDE WITHIN WELL-ESTABLISHED COMMUNITIES, ANCHORED BY FAITH AND PREDOMINANTLY CONSERVATIVE-LEANING VALUES. THE SOCIOECONOMICS OF CLINTON AND LYCOMING COUNTIES ARE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER RURAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS PA. COMMON FACTORS INCLUDE A PREDOMINANTLY BLUE-COLLAR WORKFORCE; LOWER MEDIAN INCOME LEVELS; INCREASED FOOD INSECURITY; AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES WITH LESS COLLEGE DEGREES; AND MORE HOME OWNERSHIP WITH LOWER HOUSING COST BURDEN. DESPITE COMMON FACTORS ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION, DISTINCT DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTIES. CLINTON COUNTY IS MORE RURAL THAN LYCOMING COUNTY WITH MORE THAN 60% OF THE COUNTY DESIGNATED AS STATE LAND AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THE CITY OF WILLIAMSPORT (LYCOMING COUNTY) BOASTS CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS INCLUDING THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES AND LITTLE LEAGUE HALL OF FAME. THESE RESOURCES LEND TO STRONG TOURISM IN BOTH COUNTIES. FULLTIME CLINTON COUNTY RESIDENTS EXPERIENCE MORE POVERTY AND RELATED CONCERNS THAN LYCOMING COUNTY RESIDENTS. IN CLINTON COUNTY, 17% OF ALL RESIDENTS AND 23% OF CHILDREN LIVE IN POVERTY COMPARED TO 14% OF LYCOMING COUNTY RESIDENTS AND 21% OF CHILDREN AND STATEWIDE PERCENTAGES OF 13% AND 18%, RESPECTIVELY. ONE IN FIVE (20%) OF CHILDREN LIVE IN FOOD INSECURE HOUSEHOLDS COMPARED TO 18% IN LYCOMING COUNTY AND 15% STATEWIDE AND NATIONALLY. THE PERCENTAGE OF RENTERS IS EQUAL IN BOTH COUNTIES, BUT LYCOMING COUNTY RENTERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE COST BURDENED THAN CLINTON COUNTY RENTERS. BOTH COUNTIES ARE LESS COST BURDENED THAN THE STATE OR NATIONAL AVERAGES. HOUSING COST BURDEN IS DEFINED AS SPENDING 30% OR MORE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME ON RENT OR MORTGAGE EXPENSES. HOUSING STOCK IN LYCOMING COUNTY IS GENERALLY OLDER THAN IN CLINTON COUNTY, AND THE STATE AND NATION. FRACKING, OR HYDROFRACKING, HAS BEEN A CONTROVERSIAL INDUSTRY ACROSS PA AND THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION. IT HAS BROUGHT ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION, BUT IT HAS ALSO GENERATED CONCERNS ABOUT HEALTH, INCREASED HOUSING RENTAL COSTS, DECREASED PROPERTY VALUES, AND LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENT IMPACT. CONTINUED MONITORING OF HEALTH, SOCIOECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IS ESSENTIAL TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FULL IMPACT OF THIS INDUSTRY ON THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION. AS A RESULT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION UNEMPLOYMENT RATE MORE THAN DOUBLED IN CLINTON COUNTY AND NEARLY TRIPLED IN LYCOMING COUNTY FROM MAY 2019 TO MAY 2020. AS OF MAY 2020, UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN CLINTON (11%) AND LYCOMING (13%) COUNTIES WERE SIMILAR TO OR LOWER THAN THE STATE AND NATION (13%). HEALTH TRENDS ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE THE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER RATE, A MEASURE OF PROVIDER AVAILABILITY, INCREASED IN LYCOMING COUNTY AND IS SIMILAR TO THE STATE RATE. THE CLINTON COUNTY PROVIDER RATE DECREASED AND IS NEARLY 30 POINTS LOWER THAN THE STATE. THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION HAS FEWER DENTISTS THAN THE STATE AND NATION; BOTH CLINTON AND LYCOMING COUNTIES ARE DENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS (HPSAS) FOR LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS. BOTH COUNTIES ARE ALSO MENTAL HEALTH HPSAS. KEY INFORMANT SURVEY RESPONDENTS AFFIRMED THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, PARTICULARLY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES WERE THE TOP RANKED MISSING RESOURCE IN THE REGION, IDENTIFIED BY 63% OF RESPONDENTS. SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES WERE THE THIRD RANKED MISSING RESOURCE, IDENTIFIED BY 33% OF RESPONDENTS. ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION, UNINSURED RATES AMONG ADULTS ARE DECREASING AND GENERALLY IN LINE WITH THE STATE AND BETTER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. HOWEVER, THE PERCENTAGE OF UNINSURED YOUTH IN CLINTON COUNTY IS MORE THAN DOUBLE STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGES. MOST UNINSURED RESIDENTS IN CLINTON COUNTY ARE WHITE, WHILE BLACK AND/OR LATINX RESIDENTS EXPERIENCE DISPARITIES IN HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE IN LYCOMING COUNTY. CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT ABOUT 59% OF KEY INFORMANT SURVEY RESPONDENTS NAMED OVERWEIGHT/OBESITY AMONG THE TOP THREE HEALTH CONCERNS, RANKING IT AS THE 1 CONCERN FOR THE REGION. OBESITY AMONG ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND EXCEEDS STATE AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKS. AS OF 2017, APPROXIMATELY 40% OF ADULTS IN BOTH COUNTIES WERE OBESE AND NEARLY 30% OF STUDENTS IN GRADES 7-12 WERE OBESE COMPARED TO 19.5% OF THEIR PEERS STATEWIDE. IN CONTRAST TO NATIONAL TRENDS, TOBACCO USE IS INCREASING AMONG ADULTS IN PA AND THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION. LYCOMING COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF ADULT SMOKING, EXCEEDING THE STATE AND NATION, BUT CLINTON COUNTY SAW THE GREATEST INCREASE IN ADULT SMOKING (3 POINTS) FROM 2016 TO 2017. YOUTH VAPING/E-CIGARETTE USE IS ALSO ON THE RISE. FROM 2015 TO 2019, THE PERCENTAGE OF LYCOMING COUNTY YOUTH WHO REPORTED RECENT VAPING OR E- CIGARETTE USE INCREASED FROM 17% TO 23% AND CURRENTLY EXCEEDS THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE OF 19%. THESE RISK FACTORS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER DEATH RATES FROM CHRONIC DISEASE. THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION HAS HIGHER DEATH RATES THAN THE STATE AND NATION FOR CANCER, CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE, AND DIABETES. CLINTON COUNTY ALSO HAS A HIGHER, INCREASING DEATH RATE DUE TO HEART DISEASE. CONSISTENT WITH STATE AND NATIONAL DATA, CANCER DEATH RATES ARE DECLINING WITHIN THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION. HIGHER POVERTY RATES, LOWER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, AND RURAL GEOGRAPHIES CONSISTENT WITH MOST OF THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTH DISPARITIES AND REDUCE RESIDENTS' ABILITY TO ACCESS NEEDED HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES. PEOPLE OF COLOR HISTORICALLY AND FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCE A HIGHER INCIDENCE OF POOR HEALTH AND SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS THAN WHITE PEOPLE. WHILE THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS DIVERSE COMPARED TO THE STATE AND NATION, CITY CENTERS THAT BENEFIT FROM MORE DIVERSITY, LIKE WILLIAMSPORT, MUST BE MONITORED TO APPRECIATE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF DISPARITIES AMONG RACIAL AND ETHNIC SUBPOPULATIONS. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PARTICULARLY MENTAL HEALTH, WAS SEEN AS A TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEED BY KEY INFORMANT SURVEY RESPONDENTS. NORTH CENTRAL REGION ADULTS AND YOUTH EXPERIENCE MORE MENTAL DISTRESS THAN THEIR PEERS STATEWIDE AND NATIONALLY. THE LYCOMING COUNTY SUICIDE DEATH RATE IS INCREASING AND CURRENTLY EXCEEDS STATE AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKS. CLINTON COUNTY SUICIDE DEATH DATA ARE LIMITED,

THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF GEISINGER REFLECTS THE STRATEGIC GOAL OF OPERATING AS A FULLY INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WHOSE CORPORATE COMPONENTS SHARE THE COMMON GOALS OF MANAGING AND IMPROVING THE HEALTHCARE OF ITS PATIENTS AND MEMBERS, WHILE RECOGNIZING AND RESPECTING THE CORPORATE IDENTITY OF EACH ENTITY. THIS INTEGRATION LINKS THE AREAS OF PHYSICIANS, HOSPITALS/CLINICS, AND HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. HISTORY. GEISINGER HAD ITS BEGINNINGS IN THE SMALL COMMUNITY OF DANVILLE, LOCATED IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA ON THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER. THERE, IN 1915, ABIGAIL A. GEISINGER FOUNDED THE GEORGE F. GEISINGER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN MEMORY OF HER HUSBAND. FROM THE BEGINNING, THE NEW HOSPITAL WAS DESIGNED AS A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE INSTITUTION THAT WOULD OFFER SPECIALIZED MEDICAL CARE TO PEOPLE IN THE RURAL AREAS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. UNLIKE MOST HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, WHICH EVOLVED WITH A HOSPITAL FOCUS, GEISINGER'S HISTORY AND TRADITION IS THAT OF A PHYSICIAN-LED AND PHYSICIAN-DRIVEN HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION. THIS TRADITION BEGAN WHEN MRS. GEISINGER BROUGHT DR. HAROLD FOSS, A MAYO CLINIC TRAINED PHYSICIAN, TO BE HER HOSPITAL'S FIRST CHIEF OF STAFF. TODAY, GEISINGER IS REGARDED AS A NATIONAL MODEL OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY CENTERED ON A SOPHISTICATED MULTISPECIALTY GROUP PRACTICE. SINCE THE 1970S, GEISINGER'S STRATEGY OF INTEGRATING PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH AND THE FINANCING OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES THROUGH ITS WHOLLY CONTROLLED HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION, GEISINGER HEALTH PLAN. TWO INDEMNITY HEALTH INSURERS, GEISINGER INDEMNITY INSURANCE COMPANY AND GEISINGER QUALITY OPTIONS, INC. WERE ALSO ADDED. SEE SCHEDULE R FOR A LIST OF THE AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS COMPRISING GEISINGER.

THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (CFO) OF GEISINGER AND THE INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS SENIOR FINANCIAL MANAGERS REVIEW THEIR RESPECTIVE FORM 990 PRIOR TO MAKING THE FINAL RETURN AVAILABLE TO THE BOARD.

FOR PURPOSES OF THEIR ANNUAL AUDIT OF GEISINGER CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REVIEW ALL FEDERAL TAX RETURNS FILED BY GEISINGER ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY MATERIAL ITEMS, INCLUDING IF THERE ARE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED TO BE RECOGNIZED. THE COMPANY HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS REQUIRED TO BE REPORTED FOR REPORTING PERIOD.
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C	THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE SUBJECT TO THE GEISINGER CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FOR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND SENIOR LEADERS. AT LEAST ONCE EACH YEAR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES, SENIOR LEADERS AND OTHERS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE IN WRITING THE EXISTENCE OF ANY POTENTIAL FINANCIAL INTERESTS THAT MAY GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH ANY AFFILIATE WITHIN GEISINGER. THE DISCLOSURES ARE REVIEWED BY THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER AND REPORTED TO THE AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE AND/OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AFTER REVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS, INPUT FROM DEPARTMENT OF LEGAL SERVICES AND ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON DESIRED BY THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE/BOARD DECIDES IF A CONFLICT EXISTS AND TAKES APPROPRIATE ACTION. THE INDIVIDUAL DISCLOSING THE FINANCIAL INTEREST IS ABSENT DURING THE COMMITTEE/BOARD DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS ON THE MATTER.
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A	THE PROCESS TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF GEISINGER EMPLOYED BOARD DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT IS DESIGNED TO SATISFY THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION PROCEDURE AVAILABLE FOR INTERMEDIATE SANCTION PURPOSES. THE PROCESS REQUIRES A REVIEW OF COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS BY DISINTERESTED PARTIES, USE OF APPROPRIATE COMPARABILITY DATA AND CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROCESS. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AN INDEPENDENT, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTANT COMPLETES A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT WITHIN GEISINGER. THE CONSULTANT'S REPORT IS PRESENTED TO THE GEISINGER FAMILY COMMITTEE PRIOR TO ANY COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT. THE REPORT SUPPORTS THE RIGOROUS REVIEW COMPLETED BY THE GEISINGER FAMILY COMMITTEE TO ENSURE THAT THE PROGRAM IS RESPONSIBLE TO THE GEISINGER CHARITABLE MISSION, REFLECTS REASONABLE COMPENSATION WITHIN THE NONPROFIT MARKET AND IS COMPLIANT WITH THE IRS'S INTERMEDIATE SANCTION REQUIREMENTS. THE SURVEY DATA IN THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IS CAPTURED FOR FUNCTIONALLY COMPARABLE POSITIONS IN MULTIPLE SIMILAR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND REFLECTS TOTAL REMUNERATION PROVIDED IN THE MARKET. ALL SURVEYS ARE CONDUCTED BY THIRD PARTY ORGANIZATIONS AND NOT CONDUCTED AT THE SPECIFIC DIRECTION OF GEISINGER. ANY COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS ARE APPROVED BY THE GEISINGER FAMILY COMMITTEE PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PAYMENT. THE GEISINGER FAMILY COMMITTEE AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION MAY POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY ADJUST ANY RECOMMENDED COMPENSATION.
