DescCharity Care:The Hospital's charity care program is designed to assist those patients who are either uninsured, underinsured or have limited financial resources that impact their ability to fully pay for their hospital care. Before completing an application for charity care, patients are first asked to investigate whether or not they may be eligible for Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran's Benefits or other governmental or public assistance programs.The Hospital's qualifications for charity care are as follows:1. Charity 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 the charity care program.2. The patient's family income must be at or below 300% of the current Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for their applicable family size.The Hospital maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy, the estimated cost of those services and supplies and equivalent service statistics. The following information measures the level of the charity care provided during the year ended September 30, 2020:Equivalent percentage of charity care services to all services 1.48%In addition, the Hospital incurs a payment shortfall in the treatment of Medicaid patients. This government program reimburses for medical services at less than the costs incurred to provide those services. In September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Hospital incurred a shortfall of approximately $8,235,000 and $10,138,000, respectively, related to treating Medicaid patients.The Hospital also provided other community benefits upon which no monetary value has been placed.-Offers free smoking cessation classes.-Collaborates with other community agencies in publishing a community wellness calender twice a year.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I, Line 3c:Brattleboro Memorial Hospital's Free Care program is designed to assist those patients who are either uninsured, underinsured or have limited financial resources that impact their ability to fully pay for their hospital care. 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 Director of Patient Financial Services or the Vice-President of Finance.
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:1. The director of the Community Health Team participates in community coalitions such as Fit & Health Kid's Coalition, Healthier Communities Coalition. The HCC Coalition, of which the Director of the Community Health Team is a member, has been instrumental in advocating for healthy nutrition, exercise, food security, Farm to School programming & advocating for improving the built environment & town policies to support health & wellness. Many of the health improvement needs identified by & advocated for by the Coalition have been incorporated into the new town plan for Brattleboro. The HCC was recognized for its success & effectiveness. The HCC has conducted Community Healthier Living Index (CHLI) assessments at Green Street School and at BMH. This YMCA tool measures community organization support for physical activity & healthy eating. Mini grant money will be used to implement strategies for improvements in the areas of health nutrition and exercise. 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 3:A simple RCC was utilized to reduce charges to cost. 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.During 2020, the Hospital decreased its estimate from $5,882,225 to $4,325,450 in the allowance for doubtful accounts relating to self-pay patients, and during 2019, the Hospital decreased its estimate from $7,177,617 to $5,882,225 in the allowance for doubtful accounts relating to self-pay patients. During 2020, self-pay write-offs decreased from $4,880,584 to $4,563,974 and during 2019, self-pay write-offs increased from $3,620,560 to $4,880,584. The changes resulted from trends experienced in the collection of amounts from self-pay patients with and without insurance. The decrease in the allowance in 2019 was a result of increased write-offs of self-pay balances deemed uncollectible, resulting in an improvement in the aging and balance of self-pay receivables.
Part III, Line 8:The Medicare shortfall should be considered a community benefit in its entirety. 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 2018 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 public events, various focus groups, provider surveys and 2 formal Steering Committee meetings. Highest priority issues about healthcare & healthcare access were identified.Evaluations were given to all participants of the Community Health Needs Assessment. Participants are asked what health & wellness topics they would like to have presented. Each participant developed an implementation plan. These responses are compiled & prioritized. The committee for the calendar uses these priority requests to plan content of future calendars.
Part VI, Line 4:BMH serves a total service area that includes:- 22 towns- A population of 42,869- Compared to VT/US, residents of the service area tend to be: a. Older b. Similarly well off, especially in the secondary service area c. Less at risk for obesityThe 65+ population will be the fastest growing segment, while the 0-17 and 18-44 age cohorts drop. VT is the second oldest state in the country (after Maine). Median age in the PSA & SSA is higher than Vermont overall & significantly higher than the US median.
