Form And Line Reference	SCHEDULE D, PART V; QUESTION 4	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK ("NETWORK"); A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY NETWORK. ST. LUKE'S HEALTH NETWORK, INC. IS THE PARENT ENTITY OF THE NETWORK. AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING ("CPA") FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE NETWORK AND ITS CONTROLLED AFFILIATES FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND JUNE 30, 2018; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT WITH CONSOLIDATING SCHEDULES BY ENTITY. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE NETWORKS AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT ADDRESSES THE NETWORKS ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THE NETWORKS ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY $51,067,902 INDIVIDUAL DONOR RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND $105,709,387 BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES PLUS THE FOLLOWING WHERE THE ASSETS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR ENDOWMENT: SPLIT INTEREST AGREEMENTS, AND OTHER NET ASSETS. THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. THE NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. RETURN OBJECTIVES AND RISK PARAMETERS THE NETWORK HAS ADOPTED ENDOWMENT INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES THAT ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF ENDOWMENT ASSETS. UNDER THIS POLICY, THE RETURN OBJECTIVE FOR THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS, MEASURED OVER A FULL MARKET CYCLE, SHALL BE TO MAXIMIZE THE RETURN AGAINST A BLENDED INDEX, BASED ON THE ENDOWMENTS TARGET ALLOCATION APPLIED TO THE APPROPRIATE INDIVIDUAL BENCHMARKS. THE NETWORK EXPECTS ITS ENDOWMENT FUNDS OVER TIME, TO PROVIDE AN AVERAGE RATE OF RETURN APPROXIMATING THE S&P 500 STOCK INDEX (DOMESTIC PORTION), MSCI EAFE INDEX (INTERNATIONAL PORTION) AND LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE INDEX (BOND PORTION). ACTUAL RETURNS IN ANY GIVEN YEAR MAY VARY FROM THE INDEX RETURN AMOUNTS. STRATEGIES EMPLOYED FOR ACHIEVING INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM RATE OF RETURN OBJECTIVES, THE NETWORK RELIES ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION (REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS) AND CURRENT YIELD (INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS). THE NETWORK TARGETS A DIVERSIFIED ASSET ALLOCATION THAT PLACES GREATER EMPHASIS ON EQUITY-BASED INVESTMENTS TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES WITHIN PRUDENT RISK CONSTRAINTS. ENDOWMENT SPENDING ALLOCATION AND RELATIONSHIP OF SPENDING POLICY TO INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE NETWORK DETERMINES THE METHOD TO BE USED TO APPROPRIATE ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR EXPENDITURE. CALCULATIONS ARE PERFORMED FOR INDIVIDUAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS AT A RATE OF 4.5% OF A THREE-YEAR MOVING AVERAGE MARKET VALUE WITH A MINIMUM INCREASE OF 0% AND A MAXIMUM INCREASE OF 10% PER YEAR OVER THE PREVIOUS YEARS SPENDING AMOUNT. THE TOTAL IS REDUCED BY THE INCOME DISTRIBUTED FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PREFERENCES/RESTRICTIONS MADE BY THE DONORS. THE CORRESPONDING CALCULATED SPENDING ALLOCATIONS ARE DISTRIBUTED ANNUALLY BY JUNE 30. IN ESTABLISHING THIS POLICY, THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE EXPECTED LONG TERM RATE OF RETURN ON ITS ENDOWMENT. ACCORDINGLY, OVER THE LONG TERM, THE NETWORK EXPECTS THE CURRENT SPENDING POLICY TO ALLOW ITS ENDOWMENT TO GROW AT AN AVERAGE OF 8% PERCENT ANNUALLY, CONSISTENT WITH ITS INTENTION TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NEW GIFTS.

FOR EACH SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEED IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA THE ORGANIZATION DEVELOPED AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY THAT DESCRIBED PLANS TO ADDRESS EACH IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED. THE ORGANIZATION'S MOST RECENT CHNA DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S PRIOR CHNA. HOWEVER, ANNUALLY THE ORGANIZATION PUBLICIZES INFORMATION ON ITS WEBSITE WHICH DESCRIBES THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITALS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11	THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA'S WERE COMPLETED AND MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE PRIOR TO JUNE 30, 2019. THEREAFTER, A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM MET REGULARLY AND PARTICIPATED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PROCESS. DURING THIS PROCESS AND THROUGH REVIEW OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA, THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO CATEGORIZE THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS INTO THREE MAJOR CATEGORIES FOR THE 2019-2022 CHNA CYCLE. THESE PRIORITY HEALTH CATEGORIES INCLUDE: 1) IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE/REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES; 2) PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASE; 3) IMPROVING MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH; A NETWORK WIDE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS CREATED TO ADDRESS THE THREE IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIES. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS DEVELOPED TO CONTINUE ESTABLISHED EFFORTS AND FOSTER COMMUNITY COLLABORATION TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS, THROUGH THREE NETWORK-WIDE INITIATIVES (1) HEALTHY KIDS, BRIGHT FUTURES; (2) FIT FOR LIFE; AND (3) HEALTH FOR ALL. THE NETWORK WIDE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY APPROACHES THE THREE HEALTH PRIORITY AREAS DETERMINED BY THE CHNA FROM THREE MAIN VANTAGES: 1) WELLNESS AND PREVENTION; 2) CARE TRANSFORMATION; AND 3) RESEARCH AND PARTNERSHIPS. THESE PRIORITY HEALTH AREAS AND UNMET NEEDS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT STRATEGY. ST. LUKE'S LEADERS CONTINUE TO MONITOR NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTS AND SERVICES IN ORDER TO MEET AND ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. PROGRAMMING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA IS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OVER 200 ORGANIZATIONS NETWORK WIDE, A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF PARTNERS CAN BE FOUND ON THE LAST PAGE OF EACH OF THE CAMPUS SPECIFIC CHNAS. THE ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK CHNA IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AS WELL AS SEPARATE HOSPITAL CAMPUS IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES CAN BE VIEWED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES INCLUDE AND DESCRIBE VARIOUS INITIATIVES AND PLANS IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THE UNMET NEEDS DISCOVERED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA PROCESS. ANNUAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN UPDATE REPORTS DESCRIBE EFFORTS UNDERTAKEN BY THE NETWORK TO ADDRESS THE CHNA IDENTIFIED NEEDS. HOSPITALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO, NOR CAN THEY MEET ALL OF THE UNMET NEEDS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. ANY UNMET NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED IN THE SERVICE AREA BY THE HOSPITAL, OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENT, OR VARIOUS LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	THE GRANTING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED UPON AN INDIVIDUALIZED DETERMINATION OF FINANCIAL NEED, AND DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AGE, GENDER, RACE, SOCIAL OR IMMIGRANT STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. IN ADDITION TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA NOTED ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNINSURED, INELIGIBLE FOR ANY GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFIT PROGRAM, AND THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE, BASED UPON DETERMINATION OF FINANCIAL NEED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME EXCEEDS 300% OF THE FPL MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE DISCOUNTED RATES ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS BASED ON THEIR SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS OR MEDICAL INDIGENCE, AT THE DISCRETION OF ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK. THERE ARE INSTANCES WHEN A PATIENT APPEARS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, BUT THERE IS NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FORM ON FILE DUE TO LACK OF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. OFTEN THERE IS ADEQUATE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PATIENT OR OBTAINED THROUGH OTHER SOURCES, WHICH COULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO PROVIDE THE PATIENT WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IN THE EVENT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A PATIENTS ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK MAY USE OUTSIDE AGENCIES IN DETERMINING ESTIMATED INCOME AMOUNTS FOR THE BASIS OF DETERMINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY AND POTENTIAL DISCOUNT AMOUNTS. PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY MAY BE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF INDIVIDUAL LIFE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT MAY INCLUDE: - STATE-FUNDED PRESCRIPTION PROGRAMS; - HOMELESS OR RECEIVED CARE FROM A HOMELESS CLINIC; - PARTICIPATION IN WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN PROGRAMS (WIC); - FOOD STAMP ELIGIBILITY; - SUBSIDIZED SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY; - ELIGIBILITY FOR OTHER STATE OR LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE UNFUNDED (E.G., MEDICAID SPEND DOWN); - LOW INCOME/SUBSIDIZED HOUSING IS PROVIDED AS A VALID ADDRESS; - PATIENT IS DECEASED WITH NO KNOWN ESTATE; - DECLARED CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY AND CARE WAS INCURRED PRIOR TO BANKRUPTCY; AND - DECLARED CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY AND PATIENT WILL HAVE UNPAID BALANCE AFTER THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE IS RECEIVED. ADDITIONALLY, PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY MIGHT INCLUDE THE USE OF EXTERNAL PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE DATA SOURCES THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION ON A PATIENTS OR A PATIENTS GUARANTORS ABILITY TO PAY (SUCH AS CREDIT SCORING). ONCE DETERMINED, DUE TO THE INHERENT NATURE OF THE PRESUMPTIVE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO 100% WRITE OFF OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK PROVIDES, 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 ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS OF THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ACTIVE LABOR TRANSPORT ACT OF 1986 ("EMTALA") AND THE EMTALA REGULATIONS IN PROVIDING A MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION AND SUCH FURTHER TREATMENT AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO STABILIZE AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL COMING TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SEEKING TREATMENT.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	NOT APPLICABLE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	THE STRATAJAZZ DECISION SUPPORT/COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ("STRATAJAZZ") WAS THE TOOL UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE COST OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID, MEDICAID HMO AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. THE ENTIRE ACTIVITY WAS COSTED THROUGH THE STRATAJAZZ APPLICATION, TO INCLUDE INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, EMERGENCY ROOM AND ALL PAYERS. COSTING CONSISTED OF ALLOCATING COST FROM THE DEPARTMENTAL LEVEL DOWN TO THE SERVICE ITEM LEVEL. ONCE COSTS WERE DETERMINED AT THE SERVICE ITEM LEVEL, WE THEN AGGREGATED ENCOUNTERS INTO THE DEFINED TARGETED GROUPS. FOR DETERMINATION OF THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS FOR MEDICAID, MEDICAID HMO AND SUBSIDIZED SERVICES REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST, BAD DEBT, AND ALL OVERLAPPING CASES REPORTED ELSEWHERE WERE EXCLUDED. THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES WAS UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RATIO CONFORMS TO THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL/SURPLUS WAS DETERMINED USING THE MEDICARE COMPLEX COST REPORTING FORM UTILIZING ALLOWABLE MEDICARE COSTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G	THE AMOUNT INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE REPRESENT SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES RELATED TO WOUND CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE HEALTH SERVICES, ALL OF WHICH ARE DOCUMENTED HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	THIS ORGANIZATION HAS DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS AND GENERAL BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 2, 3 & 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE MULTIPLIED BY ITS COST TO CHARGE RATIO. ON JULY 1, 2018 THE NETWORK ADOPTED ASU 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606) USING THE FULL RETROSPECTIVE TRANSITION METHOD. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS STANDARD, BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NO LONGER SHOWN AS A SEPARATE LINE WITHIN THE NETWORKS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INSTEAD NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE AMOUNT THAT REFLECTS THE CONSIDERATION TO WHICH THE NETWORK EXPECTS TO BE ENTITLED IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING CARE. PLEASE REFER TO FOOTNOTE 3 WITHIN THE NETWORKS CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC AND THE REPORTING OF THE NETWORKS REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT FILED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE 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 INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE", A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE: IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION 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 TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN 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 EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF 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 BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLES". THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, 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 REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR 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, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 10% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING 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 GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES 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 HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK MANAGEMENT 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 PATIENTS GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO APPLY FOR A GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK AND A PATIENTS GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH HIS OR HER PAYMENT AGREEMENTS. BILLING & COLLECTION POLICY --------------------------- THE CREDIT 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 THE NETWORK'S FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY TO MAXIMIZE REIMBURSEMENT AND MINIMIZE BAD DEBT. THE ORGANIZATION'S CREDIT 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 PATIENT BUSINESS SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE EDUCATED ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY AND ARE EXPECTED TO ADMINISTER THE POLICY ON A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT BASIS. PATIENT BUSINESS SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS WITH COURTESY, RESPECT, CONFIDENTIALITY AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ADMINISTERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES. THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE HAVE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION ACTIVITIES OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BUSINESS OFFICE MANAGEMENT STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY ENFORCEMENT OF APPROVED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK MAY OFFER EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS TO PATIENTS WHO ARE COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS. EMERGENCY & MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES ---------------------------------------- ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK 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, ST. LUKE'S 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 ST. LUKE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ADVANCE PAYMENT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ANY MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6) ------------------------------------------------------- ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK 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 ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK, 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. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK 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 ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK 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. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK ACCEPTS AND 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; QUESTION 2	ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK'S DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND PREVENTIVE MEDICINE OVERSEES ASSESSMENT OF THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY HOSPITALS WITHIN THE NETWORK. THE DEPARTMENT IS CHAIRED BY DR. BONNIE COYLE, BOARD CERTIFIED IN PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE, WITH OVER 20 YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC AND PREVENTATIVE HEALTH. ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION FROM THE FOLLOWING SOURCES IS PART OF THE DEPARTMENT'S ONGOING HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS: VITAL STATISTICS, PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DATA, HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA, THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON COUNTY HEALTH PROFILES AND OTHER COUNTY DATA AVAILABLE FROM VARIOUS OTHER STATE AGENCIES. IN ADDITION, THE DEPARTMENT COLLECTS ONGOING DATA AND OUTCOMES FROM ITS COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMMING INITIATIVES AND FROM ESTABLISHED COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS. IN 1996, WITH THE FULL APPROVAL AND SUPPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ST. LUKES COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ASSUMED A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN CREATING A HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP WITH KEY AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THE GREATER BETHLEHEM AREA. THE BETHLEHEM PARTNERSHIP FOR A HEALTHY COMMUNITY WAS FORMED, CONSISTING OF OVER 60 REPRESENTATIVES FROM HEALTHCARE, BUSINESS, COMMUNITY, EDUCATION AND SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. THIS GROUP COLLECTIVELY DEVELOPED PROGRAMS TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, IN BETHLEHEM AND THROUGHOUT THE LEHIGH VALLEY BY CONDUCTING FORMALIZED COMMUNITY ASSESSMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS PROCESS ALLOWED ST. LUKES TO IDENTIFY THE MOST PREVAILING HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS AND BASE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY ACCORDING TO THESE NEEDS. IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THE BETHLEHEM PARTNERSHIP HAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL. THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH MAINTAINED THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND OUTCOMES-DRIVEN WORK WITHIN THE ALLENTOWN AND BETHLEHEM SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHILE CREATING A MODEL OF SERVICE THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN OTHER URBAN AND RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH MINOR ACCOMMODATIONS. THIS ALLOWED US TO BETTER ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR EXPANDING SERVICE AREAS AS OUR ORGANIZATION GREW FROM A ONE CAMPUS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TO AN 11-CAMPUS HOSPITAL NETWORK. WE NOW SPEARHEAD A NATIONAL MODEL OF COLLABORATION WITH 200+ PARTNERS REPRESENTING LOCAL BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT, EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL SERVICE AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. A NUMBER OF OUR CHNA DETERMINED HEALTH PRIORITIES ARE ADDRESSED AMONG OUR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS USING THE ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL. THE MISSION OF THE ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE ALLENTOWN AND BETHLEHEM AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE THE HUB TO CULTIVATE THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS, USING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS, TO CONNECT FAMILIES TO HEALTH SERVICES (MEDICAL, DENTAL, VISION, MENTAL HEALTH AND INSURANCE) WHILE PROMOTING HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVES, LITERACY AND LEADERSHIP TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES OF STUDENTS. BASED ON THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, EACH HOSPITAL CAMPUS DEVELOPS PLANS AND PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THOSE IN THE COMMUNITIES. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES, WE PROVIDE MOBILE YOUTH HEALTH SERVICES (CONNECTING STUDENTS TO MEDICAL, DENTAL & VISION VANS, INSURANCE, PHYSICAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND SERVICES), HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVES (GET YOUR TAIL ON THE TRAIL, LIVE YOUR LIFE, SCHOOL GARDENS AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS), LITERACY PROGRAMS (DR. SEUSS DAY, READING ROCKS! AND LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES), AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT (LEADER IN ME AND ADOLESCENT CAREER MENTORING). OUR INITIATIVES ARE CONTINUALLY ASSESSED AND EVALUATED TO PROVIDE MEASURABLE AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. LOCAL SCHOOL COORDINATORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP COMMITTEES ASSESS, EVALUATE AND GUIDE THE INITIATIVES THAT FEED INTO THE ST. LUKES ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL USING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS/SERVICES.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3	ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK IS COMMITTED TO A SERVICE EXCELLENCE PHILOSOPHY THAT STRIVES TO MEET OR EXCEED PATIENT EXPECTATIONS. ALL PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE A UNIFORM STANDARD OF CARE THROUGHOUT ALL ST. LUKE'S FACILITIES, REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL, CULTURAL, FINANCIAL, RELIGIOUS, RACIAL, GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION FACTORS. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT ALL PATIENTS RECEIVE ESSENTIAL EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PERSONS WHO HAVE HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND ARE UNINSURED, INELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, OR OTHERWISE UNABLE TO PAY, FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL SITUATION. ALL PERSONS WHO PRESENT THEMSELVES FOR EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE ADMITTED AND TREATED; THEY ARE REGISTERED AS PATIENTS OF THE HOSPITAL AND RECEIVE ANY NECESSARY SERVICES AS PRESCRIBED BY THE PATIENTS PHYSICIAN. A PROSPECTIVE PATIENT OF ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK IS NEVER DENIED NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES ON THE BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK DOES ITS BEST TO EDUCATE AND INFORM PATIENTS ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PATIENTS, THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY ARE ALL AVAILABLE ON-LINE.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, QUESTION 4	ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORKS (SLUHN) BETHLEHEM AND ALLENTOWN CAMPUSES ARE BOTH IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA CONSISTS OF A LARGELY URBAN POPULATION IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS IS INCLUDED IN EACH RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS CHNA. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF MEDICAL SERVICE AREA & COMMUNITY SERVED ================================================================= ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- A TOTAL OF 615,890 PEOPLE LIVE IN THE 704.95 SQUARE MILE REPORT AREA DEFINED FOR THIS ASSESSMENT, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (2017) 5-YEAR ESTIMATES. THE POPULATION DENSITY FOR THIS AREA, ESTIMATED AT 873.66 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE, IS GREATER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE POPULATION DENSITY OF 89.61 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE. WE DEFINED OUR SERVICE AREA BY DETERMINING THE TOP PATIENT ZIP CODES OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE SERVICES FROM ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM. WE DEFINED THE TOP ZIP CODES AS THOSE THAT MAKE UP 80% OF THE POPULATION SERVED BY THIS HOSPITAL. THE CHNA REPORT REFERS TO THIS AREA AS THE "ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM SERVICE AREA". THE TOP FIVE COUNTIES SERVED BY ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM IN PENNSYLVANIA INCLUDE NORTHAMPTON, LEHIGH, CARBON, AND BUCKS COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND WARREN COUNTY IN NEW JERSEY. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 24 ZIP CODES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL ANALYSES. ST. LUKES HOSPITAL ALLENTOWN CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- A TOTAL OF 367,641 PEOPLE LIVE IN THE 253.30 SQUARE MILE REPORT AREA DEFINED FOR THIS ASSESSMENT ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (2017) 5-YEAR ESTIMATES. THE POPULATION DENSITY FOR THIS AREA, ESTIMATED AT 1,451.41 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE, IS GREATER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE POPULATION DENSITY OF 89.61 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE. WE DEFINED OUR SERVICE AREA BY DETERMINING THE TOP PATIENT ZIP CODES OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE ANY SERVICES FROM ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN. WE DEFINED THE TOP ZIP CODES AS THOSE THAT MAKE UP 80% OF THE POPULATION SERVED BY THIS HOSPITAL. THE CHNA REPORT REFERS TO THIS AREA AS THE "ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA". THE TOP COUNTIES SERVED BY ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN INCLUDE LEHIGH, BERKS, AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 18 ZIP CODES INCLUDED THAT CONSTITUTE 80% OF THE POPULATION SERVED AT ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN. GENDER ====== ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- ACCORDING TO THE FIVE-YEAR ESTIMATES BY THE ACS, THE PERCENTAGE OF FEMALES IN THE ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM SERVICE AREA IS ROUGHLY 51.12%, AND ROUGHLY 48.88% ARE MALE. THESE RATES ARE ON PAR WITH NATIONAL TRENDS, WHERE 49.2% OF THE POPULATION IS MALE, AND 50.8% IS FEMALE. THE MAJORITY OF RESPONDENTS TO OUR 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY WERE FEMALE. IN THE ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM SERVICE AREA FOR THE YEAR 2017, 61% OF RESPONDENTS WERE FEMALE AND 39% WERE MALE. ST. LUKES HOSPITAL ALLENTOWN CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- ACCORDING TO THE FIVE-YEAR ESTIMATES BY THE ACS, THE PERCENTAGE OF FEMALES IN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN (SLA) SERVICE AREA IS ROUGHLY 51.01%, AND ROUGHLY 48.99% ARE MALE. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO NATIONAL TRENDS, WHERE 49.2% OF THE POPULATION IS MALE, AND 50.8% IS FEMALE. THE MAJORITY OF RESPONDENTS TO OUR 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY IN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA WERE FEMALE. IN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA, 61.8% OF RESPONDENTS WERE FEMALE, AND 38.2% WERE MALE. AGE === ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- THE ACS REPORTS 21.68% OF THE SERVICE AREAS POPULATION FALLS UNDER THE AGE OF 18, AND 16.62% ARE 65 OR OLDER. THIS LEAVES 61.7% BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 64. WHEN COMPARING THIS DATA TO SURVEY DATA, 65% OF BETHLEHEM RESPONDENTS WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 64, AND 36% OVER THE AGE OF 65.
