MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA DID TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITY, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OF OR EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH. MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA HOSTED SEVERAL ROUND TABLE EVENTS IN WHICH LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND AREA NONPROFIT LEADERS REPRESENTING HEALTH-RELATED SERVICES WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN COMPREHENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, RESOURCE GAPS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE AND IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH AND INCREASE ACCESS TO SERVICES. THE PRIORITIES FOR EACH COMMUNITY EMERGED AS A RESULT OF DATA AND FEEDBACK COLLECTION FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES INCLUDING: -A SURVEY OPEN TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND PARTNER AGENCIES IN ALL COMMUNITIES; -SECONDARY DATA COLLECTED FROM COMMUNITYCOMMONS.ORG AND OTHER SOURCES; -FOCUS GROUPS TARGETING UNDERSERVED, CHRONICALLY ILL AND LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS IN EACH COMMUNITY; AND; -EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT DATA FROM HOSPITAL PARTNERS.THESE SOURCES WERE COMBINED AND COMPARED TO DEVELOP COMMUNITY PRIORITIES WHICH WEIGHED MORBIDITY, MORTALITY AND A VARIETY OF OTHER FACTORS.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA BY FOCUSING PROGRAMMING, SERVICES AND EDUCATION OR AWARENESS AROUND: (1) REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (2) REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF LUNG DISEASE (3) AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THE FIRST IDENTIFIED NEED OR PRIORITY IS TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (1) INCREASING THE NUMBER OF UNINSURED ADULTS WHO ARE MANAGING THEIR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR HYPERTENSION BY FINDING THEM PRIMARY HEALTH CARE. (2) INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF ADULTS EDUCATED ABOUT RISK FACTORS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. THE SECOND IDENTIFIED NEED OR PRIORITY IS TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF LUNG DISEASE. MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR (1) INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF ADULTS EDUCATED ABOUT SYMPTOMS OF MILD OR UNDIAGNOSED LUNG DISEASE. (2) ENCOURAGING BREAST FEEDING AFTER DELIVERY TO DECREASE LUNG DISEASE IN CHILDREN. (3) PROMOTING EVIDENCE BASED CARE TO MANAGE CHRONIC DISEASE. THE THIRD IDENTIFIED NEED OR PRIORITY IS TO INCREASE AWARENESS FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR (1) PROVIDING COMMUNITY EDUCATION ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE. (2) PROVIDING EDUCATION TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDING RESOURCES IN THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAT ASSIST WITH MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUE. FOR ALL OF THESE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA CONTINUES TO WORK CLOSELY WITH ITS LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO ENSURE WE ARE COLLABORATIVELY ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY IN A MEASURABLE WAY. MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA REMAINS ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN ITS REPRESENTATION ON THE HEALTH COMMISSION AS A WAY TO STAY ATTACHED TO KEY LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AIMING TO ACHIEVE SIMILAR WORK AND OUTCOMES, PARTICULARLY FOR PATIENTS AND OUR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. Three health issues identified -diabetes, cancer, and substance abuse-were not chosen as priority focus areas due to Mercy's current lack of resources available to address these needs and the intention to focus on the three prioritized health needs. These issues will be addressed indirectly in implementation strategies developed to meet the prioritized needs in areas that may overlap. For example, efforts to reduce the incidence of heart disease in the community may also reduce the incidence of diabetes. Mercy Aurora will consider focusing on these issues should resources become available. Until then, Mercy Aurora will support, as able, the efforts of partner agencies and organizations currently working to address these needs within the community.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F	TOTAL EXPENSES FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) ARE $22,887,733. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS BAD DEBT EXPENSE (CHARGES) OF $5,071,308. EXPENSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F) ARE $17,816,425. Form 990, Schedule H, Part II COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES WORK TOWARD IMPROVING THE HEALTH, WELLNESS AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE THROUGH THEIR PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY-BASED EVENTS, MEETINGS (INCLUDING PARTICIPATION IN HEALTH CARE EDUCATION EVENTS AT LOCAL SCHOOLS) AND BY SERVING ON COMMUNITY BOARDS. MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2	TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED WAS BASED ON DETAILED COST ACCOUNTING, WHERE AVAILABLE. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS NOT AVAILABLE, COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE UTILIZED.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3	THE FILING ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $0. ALTHOUGH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUIRES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PATIENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE A PROCESS UNDER PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHARITY POLICY IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ALMOST ALL PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE.

UPON ADOPTION, THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED AS PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PRESENTED AS A REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS IS TREATED A PRICE CONCESSION THAT REDUCES THE TRANSACTION PRICE, WHICH IS REPORTED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. AS SUCH, BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NOT REFERENCED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS TRACKED FOR FORM 990 REPORTING AS FOLLOWS: PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTION POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8	IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY HOSPITAL AURORA THAT 100% OF ANY SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B	MERCY'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE COMMUNICATION AND/OR REVIEW OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS IT RELATES TO ANY SERVICE PROVIDED AT OUR FACILITIES BEFORE TURNING THE ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT OR TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOR NONPAYMENT. MERCY ACTIVELY SCRUBS ACCOUNTS FOR PAYOR PLAN COVERAGE, INCLUDING MEDICAID. IN THE EVENT AN ACCOUNT IS TURNED TO COLLECTIONS AND IS IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGES, OR IS NOW REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED BY THE AGENCY AND CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY IF THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO RETURN THE INFORMATION, THE ACCOUNT WILL QUALIFY FOR COLLECTIONS. MERCY UTILIZES THE EXPERIAN THIRD-PARTY TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY QUALIFICATION PRIOR TO TURNING TO BAD DEBT, A PROCESS KNOWN AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY; USING HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND INCOME. MERCY WILL GRANT CHARITY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION WHEN A PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, MERCY UTILIZES THE SAME TOOL TO QUALIFY ACCOUNTS PER THE PRACTICE OF PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT FOR BALANCES IN EXCESS OF $6,500. ALL ACCOUNT BALANCES RELATING TO ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED BY THE HIGHER BALANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED AND FLAGGED FOR CHARITY IF THERE IS AN INABILITY TO PAY AFTER A RETURN FROM THE COLLECTION AGENCY AT APPROXIMATELY 120 DAYS. MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE LEGAL ACTION CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES AFTER A SENDING 3 MONTHLY STATEMENTS WITH THE FINAL INCLUDING NOTIFICATION; IF NO RESOLUTION THEY WILL BE TURNED TO COLLECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAY INCLUDE LIENS UPON REAL PROPERTY AND REASONABLE WAGE GARNISHMENTS. LEGAL ACTIONS WILL GENERALLY NOT INCLUDE BANK GARNISHMENTS, REPOSSESSION OF ASSETS OR FORECLOSURES TO ENSURE SATISFACTION OF A LIEN. MERCY HAS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE INITIATION OF LEGAL ACTION AND ANNUALLY REVIEW COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES BUT ENSURE 120 DAYS OF BILLING AND COLLECTIONS OCCURS PRIOR TO ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTIONS ARE PURSUED.
