Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	Piedmont regularly reports its community benefit activities to the community in several ways. Each year, Piedmont prepares a systemwide community benefit report that is available to the public through publication on its website. Piedmont also makes its IRS Form 990 Schedule H available on its website and provides copies to anyone upon request. Piedmont also provides information on community benefit programming to local, state, and federal lawmakers through its government affairs office and online at piedmont.org.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7f PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE	THE DENOMINATOR USED FOR THE CALCULATION OF COLUMN (F), PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE, WAS THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) OF $207,647,565, LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $22,469,754 FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 24(B).
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, CONSISTENT WITH WORKSHEET 2, WAS USED TO REPORT THE AMOUNTS IN PART I, LINES 7A-7D. FOR AMOUNTS ON LINES 7E-7K, ACTUAL EXPENSES FOR EACH COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITY ARE TRACED AND REPORTED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
Schedule H, Part III LINES 2-4 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE CALCULATION AND FOOTNOTE	The provision for bad debts is based upon leadership's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering business and economic conditions, trends in health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Hospital and system leadership periodically assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience by payor category. The review results are then used to modify the provision for bad debts to establish an appropriate allowance for uncollectible receivables. THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 3, WAS DETERMINED BY TAKING THE AVERAGE ACCEPTANCE RATE FOR ALL CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DENIALS THAT WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION. THAT TOTAL WAS THEN ADJUSTED DOWNWARD FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S USE OF PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY WHEN DETERMINING ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE FROM CONSOLIDATED, AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The provision for bad debts is based upon leadership's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering business and economic conditions, trends in health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Hospital and system leadership periodically assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience by payor category. The review results are then used to modify the provision for bad debts to establish an appropriate allowance for uncollectible receivables. PCH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 MEDICARE SHORTFALLS AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT	The amount reported in Part III, Line 6, was calculated following Schedule H instructions by utilizing allowable Medicare costs as reported in the Medicare cost report, which Piedmont bases on a cost-to-charge ratio. However, the allowable costs in the Medicare cost report do not reflect the actual cost of providing care to patients since the Medicare cost report excludes many direct patient care costs that are essential to providing quality healthcare for Medicare patients. For example, specific coverage fees to physicians, Medicare C and D costs, and other similar direct patient care expenses are expressly excluded from allowable costs in the Medicare Cost Report. Piedmont believes its Medicare shortfall reported in Part III, Line 7 of Schedule H, should be considered a community benefit as the IRS community benefit standard includes providing care to elderly and Medicare patients. IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545 provides, in part, that hospitals serving patients with governmental health insurance, such as Medicare, are an indication the hospital operates to promote health in the community. Piedmont's policy is to treat Medicare patients regardless of how much Medicare pays for the treatment. For many services, Medicare's reimbursement is less than the cost of the care provided, resulting in shortfalls the hospital will absorb in honor of its commitment to treating elderly patients. Many of these patients live on a low, fixed income and would qualify for financial assistance or other means-tested programs, absent from their enrollment in Medicare.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b COLLECTION PRACTICES	INITIAL SCREENINGS OF ALL INPATIENT, EMERGENCY, AND SURGERY ENCOUNTERS, AS WELL AS MOST OUTPATIENT VISITS, ARE CONDUCTED BY FINANCIAL COUNSELORS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY AVAILABLE INSURANCE OR OTHER COVERAGE FOR EACH PATIENT. COUNSELORS CONTACT PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES DIRECTLY, EITHER IN PERSON OR BY LETTER, TO ASSIST THE FAMILY IN IDENTIFYING ANY PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT/SERVICE MAY QUALIFY (INCLUDING MEDICAID, STATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM ("SCHIP"), PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND CHARITY ASSISTANCE). IF THE FAMILY CANNOT BE TIMELY LOCATED OR IS UNCOOPERATIVE, RELATED ACCOUNTS ARE TRANSFERRED TO AN INTERNAL COLLECTION DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN PAYMENT OR, IF THE PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE, TO SECURE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ORGANIZATION'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURES PROHIBIT ANY COLLECTION EFFORTS FOR THE PORTION OF A PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCE THAT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT	As a designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospital, the Internal Revenue Service requires us to conduct a triennial community health needs assessment (CHNA) following regulations put forth by the IRS following the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Through this assessment, Piedmont hopes to understand local health challenges better, identify health trends in the community, determine gaps in the current health delivery system, and craft a plan to address those gaps and the identified health needs. In FY22, Piedmont conducted its fourth triennial CHNA, and FY24 was the second year of activities outlined in its subsequent Implementation Strategy. The CHNA was led by the Piedmont Healthcare community benefits team and consulting organization Public Goods Group (PGG), with input and direction from Piedmont leadership and Piedmont Healthcare's Department of External Affairs. Process The CHNA defined its community as its home county due to the impact of its tax-exempt status. Property taxes comprise a hospital's largest tax exemption segment, impacting county revenues. Because of this, Piedmont aims to ensure it provides ample benefit to its county and community. Additionally, Piedmont considers patient origin, especially that of lower-income patients who qualify for financial assistance or receive insurance coverage through Medicaid. Piedmont's secondary communities are considered the areas with the highest concentration of patients fitting that criterion, including those from nearby communities. Once Piedmont established its primary and secondary communities, it analyzed available public health data, including resources from the US Census, US Health and Human Services Community Health Status Indicators, US Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, National Center for Education Statistics, Kaiser Family Foundation's State Health Facts, American Heart Association, County Health Rankings and Georgia Online Analytical Statistical Information System (OASIS). All figures within the CHNA were for 2020 unless otherwise noted. Health indicators are estimates provided by County Health Rankings and the team internally sourced hospital data. PGG then interviewed key stakeholders with particular expertise or knowledge of the community. Specifically, PGG interviewed representatives of local and regional public health entities, minority populations, faith-based communities, local business owners, philanthropic communities, mental health agencies, elected officials, and individuals representing the community's most vulnerable patients. Piedmont conducted an internal survey system for both clinical and non-clinical employees. Piedmont gathered information on knowledge and understanding of community benefits, current programs, and suggestions for better serving patients and the overall community, regardless of where they receive care. Approximately 1,050 employees spanning the system responded. Additionally, Piedmont conducted a community-based survey that was widely advertised to the community. Once Piedmont gathered qualitative and quantitative data, Piedmont authored the preliminary report, which was vetted and reviewed by hospital and health system leadership. This report identified several key community health needs during the assessment process. The community benefits department recommended priorities with sign-off from hospital and board leadership. Piedmont used the following criteria to establish the priorities: - The number of people affected; - The seriousness of the issue; - Whether the health need particularly affected people living in poverty or reflected health disparities; and, - Availability of community and/or hospital resources to address the need. Piedmont views all priorities through the lens of health disparities, with particular attention paid to improving outcomes for those most vulnerable due to income and race. The chosen priorities reflected a collective agreement on what hospital leadership, staff, and the community felt was most important and within its ability to impact the issue positively. Once leadership approved the priorities, Piedmont authored the CHNA. Piedmont presented its findings and recommendations to the hospital's board of directors for their input and approval. FY22 priorities A key CHNA component is identifying the top health priorities the hospital will address over fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025. These priorities will guide the hospital's community benefit work. They are, in no order: - Ensure affordable access to health, mental, and dental care - Reduce preventable instances of and deaths from cancer - Promote healthy behaviors to reduce avoidable conditions, diseases, and addiction - Reduce preventable cases of and deaths from heart disease With each priority, Piedmont will work to achieve more significant health equity by reducing the impact of poverty and other socioeconomic indicators, building health equity into its work, which the hospital demonstrates through its implementation strategies. Hospital leadership and staff then developed the subsequent implementation strategy to address the identified priorities in the FY22 community health needs assessment. The implementation strategy was designed to be executed over three years. It included specific metrics by which hospital staff and the community could evaluate its work and impact. Piedmont developed the implementation strategy by utilizing community feedback from the assessment in partnership with the system community benefits department, system leadership, and the hospital's board of directors. Piedmont included proven and successful interventions and programming, investing further in work with the best chance of creating positive, sustainable change.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY	Piedmont understands that not everyone can pay their hospital bill due to their insurance status or limited income, and because of this, each hospital offers financial assistance to qualifying patients. Notification about financial assistance includes, but is not limited to, a dedicated contact number, notices within inpatient bills, and posted notices in key hospital areas. These locations are the emergency room, admitting and registration departments, business office, and patient financial services offices on site. Piedmont also publishes and widely publicizes a plain language summary of this financial assistance care policy and its full policy on its website. Any staff member can refer a patient to the financial assistance department, including physicians, nurses, financial counselors, social workers, case managers, chaplains, and religious sponsors. The patient may request financial assistance from a family member, close friend, or associate of the patient, subject to applicable privacy laws. Additionally, Piedmont provides copies of its financial assistance policy to partner clinics and others who work closely with low-income populations. Piedmont helps its partners understand the policy and how it relates to their populations, and it receives feedback on improving its financial assistance programming.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION	While Piedmont Cartersville serves patients from a 10-county area, the hospital considers its community to be Bartow County in recognition of the direct impact of its tax-exempt status on county residents. In Bartow County, approximately 109,410 people lived in the 460-square-mile area annually between 2018 and 2022. The population density for this area, estimated at 238 people per square mile, is greater than the state average population density of 186 people per square mile and the national average population density of 94 people per square mile. Bartow County is primarily urban, as about 61 percent of community members live within an urban setting. Like in most of Georgia, rural populations in Bartow are overwhelmingly white. Bartow County is growing, having seen a nine percent increase in total population between 2010 and 2020. Approximately seven percent of the county's population were veterans on a yearly average from 2018 to 2022, and most were non-elderly adults. About 12 percent of the population - nearly 13,000 people - lived with a disability in Bartow County. Most of that population was under the age of 65. In Bartow County, about 24 percent of the population was 17 or younger, 14 percent were over 65, and the remaining was between 18 and 64. Between 2018 and 2022, on a yearly average, about 75 percent of all Bartow County residents were white, 11 percent were African American, and about ten percent were Hispanic/Latino. In Bartow County, about 24 percent of the population was 17 or younger, 14 percent were over 65, and the remaining was between 18 and 64. Between 2018 and 2022, on a yearly average, about 75 percent of all Bartow County residents were white, 11 percent were African American, and about ten percent were Hispanic/Latino. On average, between the years 2018 and 2022, about 14 percent of the population had no form of insurance. Insurance status and health are inextricably linked. Being uninsured is generally a marker of low income, as the overwhelming majority of those who are uninsured are also within specific ranges of the federal poverty guidelines, meaning these populations are also likely to face myriad other social determinants of health (SDH), like housing and food insecurity. Between 2018 and 2022, the median household income was $74,812, more significant than the state level but lower than the national level of $75,149. Income disparities are evident when broken down by the four dominant races in the community. Of employers in the community, the largest sector by number of employees is manufacturing, which employed more than 11,000 community members at an average annual wage of $79,109 in 2022, according to the US Department of Commerce. Retail trade was the second largest sector, with about 6,500 people employed at an average annual wage of $36,417. Government and government enterprises were the third largest sector, with about 5,400 people employed at an average yearly salary of $71,666. According to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey, more than 55,200 people in the community were part of the labor force, and more than 1,900 - about four percent - were unemployed as of November 2024. This figure has steadily increased since July 2022, when less than three percent of the labor force was unemployed. In 2023, 10 percent of the county's population lived at or below the federal poverty guidelines, and about 91 percent lived at 200 percent of these guidelines. In Bartow County, like most of the state, minorities are more likely to live in poverty. For example, on average, about 14 percent of Hispanic/Latino populations and 19 percent of Black populations were living at or below poverty, as compared to 10 percent of the white population. Of the more than 38,400 average total occupied households in Bartow County from 2018 to 2022, nearly 9,500 - about 25 percent of the population - lived in cost-burdened households, in which housing costs are 30 percent or more of total household income. Approximately 10 percent of households had costs that exceeded 50 percent of the household income, which places the household in significant financial strain. In Bartow County, in 2019, four of the county's 15 census tracts were food deserts, as shown in the map to the right. More than 23,000 people lived within these census tracts. These tracts almost directly correspond with census tracts, demonstrating retailers authorized to take SNAP benefits. In Bartow County, like most of the state, those retailers tend to be convenience and discount stores that carry limited, if any, healthy foods. Increasingly, discount stores like Dollar General have some sort of produce section, which is inconsistent among communities. Low food access means living more than one mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket, supercenter, or large grocery store. This indicator is relevant because it highlights populations and geographies facing food insecurity. According to the 2019 Food Access Research Atlas database, about 30 percent of the total population in the county has low food access, meaning about 30,300 county residents may struggle to access healthy foods, which is on par with the state rate. In 2022, about 75 percent of adults aged 18 or older saw a doctor for a routine checkup the previous year. This measure is likely over-reported and is lower than state and national averages. For Medicare recipients, this number jumps to about 88 percent of adult beneficiaries, which is above both state and national averages. Routine checkups are critical to maintaining good health and identifying conditions that can be treated affordably in a community-based setting. Absent that, even simple-to-treat conditions can escalate to deeper issues, eventually requiring more intensive care, later-stage diagnoses, or reduced life expectancy. Heart disease is a leading cause of death for both women and men in Bartow County. On a yearly average from 2018 to 2022, the age-adjusted death rate was about 249 deaths for every 100,000 people, which is greater than the state and national averages of 193 and 207 heart-related deaths per 100,000 people, respectively. In 2022, nearly seven percent of county adults had a diagnosis of heart disease. Between 2018 and 2022, there were approximately 250 deaths due to stroke, representing a death rate of about 46 deaths per every 100,000 people. The yearly average rate of hospitalization due to cardiovascular disease from 2019 to 2021 was 17 hospitalizations per every 1,000 Medicare beneficiaries, which is much higher than the state and national rates of about 10. The hospitalization rate for stroke is also above state and national rates, with 10 hospitalizations per every 1,000 Medicare beneficiaries, as compared to the state rate of about nine and the national rate of eight. These hospitalization rates for heart disease and stroke among Medicare recipients have remained relatively steady over the last five years. Although heart disease leads to county deaths, cancer remains a critical issue within the community. The cancer incidence rate for Bartow County each year on average between 2016 and 2020 was about 486 per every 100,000, which equates to an average diagnosis rate of nearly 600 new cases each year. Screening rates among Medicare beneficiaries are in line with state and national rates, except for breast cancer screening. In 2022, 31 percent of Medicare beneficiaries had a mammogram, compared to the state and national rates of 34 percent and 35 percent, respectively. In 2021, nine percent of county adults aged 20 and older had diabetes, a figure lower than the state rate of 10 percent but on par with the national rate of 9 percent. Diabetes is a prevalent problem in the US, often indicating an unhealthy lifestyle, and it puts individuals at risk for further health issues. Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, involves a gradual loss of kidney function. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, which are then removed in the urine. Advanced chronic kidney disease can cause dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes, and waste to build up in the body. In 2021, three percent of the county's population had a diagnosis of kidney disease, a rate on par with state and national percentages. In 2021, about 35 percent of adults 18 and older reported having high cholesterol. Too much cholesterol puts one at risk for heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death within the county. That same year, more than 38 percent of adults 18 and older had a diagnosis of high blood pressure. High blood pressure can damage the arteries by making them less elastic, which decreases blood and oxygen flow to the heart and leads to heart disease.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	Piedmont actively promotes the health of its community through clinic-hospital partnerships, community-based health screenings, educational activities, community-building activities, the operation of a 24-hour emergency department available to the community as a whole, the operation of an emergency room open to all members of the community without regard to ability to pay, a governance board composed of community members, use of surplus revenue for facilities improvement, patient care, and medical training, education, and research, the provision of inpatient hospital care for all persons in the community able to pay, including those covered by Medicare and Medicaid, and an open medical staff with privileges available to all qualifying physicians. In FY24, Piedmont Cartersville provided care to low-income patients at a cost of nearly $10 million. Of that amount, Piedmont provided $6.7 million in direct financial assistance and covered almost $3 million in shortfalls from providing care to patients with Medicaid coverage. Piedmont Cartersville also trained future healthcare professionals at a cost of $1.1 million, which included more than two dozen specialties within the hospital, such as physical therapy and pharmacy technician training. In FY24, Piedmont further built the Empowering You platform to connect community members and patients with resources to address social determinants of health issues. Powered by FindHelp.org, Piedmont clinicians and case managers can search and refer patients to supporting organizations, including referrals to local food banks and housing resources. Throughout the year, the hospital volunteered at key community events, often providing structured education on key health topics.

Piedmont spent a total of $1,762. In February 2024, PCH staff discussed signs, symptoms, and prevention of heart disease and essential emergency and trauma-related information for the community on the WBHF Radio Show: Heart Health Awareness Month. A total of $298.78 was spent, with an unknown number of listeners. In September 2023, Piedmont partnered with Crosspoint City Church and hosted the Compassion Center Mobile Medical Clinic service awareness day for all clinical roles. Compassion Center brings primary care to vulnerable populations in Bartow County that are uninsured or underinsured. During the 9th Annual EMS Summit in November 2023, which targeted first responders, law enforcement and fire personnel, nurses, and physicians, Piedmont Cartersville provided a full day of trauma-related health education and offered continuing education credit.
