GROUP A, FACILITY 1, GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 5	SECTION B., COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, LINES 3, 5 AND 6A: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT THE 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 19 COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA WHICH REPRESENT THE COLLECTIVE SERVICE AREAS OF THE COLLABORATING HOSPITALS. TO DISTINGUISH UNIQUE SERVICE AREAS AMONG HOSPITALS AND FOSTER COOPERATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO IMPACT HEALTH NEEDS, REGIONAL RESEARCH AND LOCAL REPORTING WAS DEVELOPED. THE COLLABORATING HEALTH SYSTEMS AGREED THAT BY COORDINATING EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION, THE HEALTH SYSTEMS WOULD CONSERVE COMMUNITY RESOURCES WHILE DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP IN CONVENING LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS COMMON PRIORITY NEEDS. BEST PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT DEMONSTRATE THAT FOSTERING "COLLECTIVE IMPACT" IS AMONG THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAYS TO AFFECT THE HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY. COLLECTIVE IMPACT IS ACHIEVED BY COMMITTING A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS TOWARD A COMMON GOAL OR ACTION, PARTICULARLY TO IMPACT DEEP ROOTED SOCIAL OR HEALTH NEEDS. BY TAKING A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO THE CHNA, GEISINGER, ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ARE LEADING THE WAY TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. CHNA LEADERSHIP THE CHNA WAS OVERSEEN BY A PLANNING COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH HEALTH SYSTEM, AS WELL AS A REGIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH HOSPITAL. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CHNA. WEBINARS WERE HELD IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 2017 TO ANNOUNCE THE ONSET OF THE CHNA AND ENCOURAGE BROAD PARTICIPATION ACROSS THE REGION. THROUGHOUT OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 2017, A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WAS SENT TO APPROXIMATELY 1,000 REPRESENTATIVES OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS, CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS, BUSINESSES, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OTHER COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES. PARTNER FORUMS WERE HELD THROUGHOUT THE REGION IN JANUARY 2018 TO BRING TOGETHER THESE PARTNERS TO REVIEW RESEARCH FINDINGS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE MOST PRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. IN MARCH AND APRIL 2018, FOCUS GROUPS WITH SENIORS WERE HELD TO BETTER UNDERSTAND CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVING HEALTH AMONG HIGH RISK POPULATIONS. COMMUNITY FORUMS WERE HELD IN FALL 2018 TO PRESENT CHNA FINDINGS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND PROVIDE A FORUM FOR DIALOGUE ABOUT ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. CHNA METHODOLOGY THE CHNA WAS CONDUCTED FROM SEPTEMBER 2017 TO APRIL 2018 AND USED BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY RESEARCH TO ILLUSTRATE AND COMPARE HEALTH TRENDS AND DISPARITIES ACROSS THE REGION. PRIMARY RESEARCH WAS USED TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING EXPERTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WERE USED TO COLLECT IN-DEPTH INSIGHT FROM HEALTH CONSUMERS REPRESENTING MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED OR HIGH RISK POPULATIONS. EXISTING DATA SOURCES, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH STATISTICS, DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIAL MEASURES, AND HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION, WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED TO IDENTIFY HEALTH TRENDS ACROSS HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS. SPECIFIC RESEARCH METHODS INCLUDED: AN ANALYSIS OF STATISTICAL HEALTH AND SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS FROM ACROSS THE REGION AN ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF ACUTE HOSPITAL UTILIZATION DATA A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WITH 113 COMMUNITY LEADERS AND REPRESENTATIVES SIX REGIONAL PARTNER FORUMS WITH COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES AND FACILITATE COLLABORATION TOWARD COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT TWELVE FOCUS GROUPS WITH SENIORS TO EXAMINE PREFERENCES, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCESSING AND RECEIVING HEALTHCARE PRIORITIZATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS TO DETERMINE THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES ON WHICH TO FOCUS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS THE CHNA BUILT UPON THE HOSPITALS' PREVIOUS CHNAS AND SUBSEQUENT IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. THE RESEARCH FINDINGS WILL BE USED TO GUIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES FOR THE HOSPITALS AND ENGAGE LOCAL PARTNERS TO COLLECTIVELY ADDRESS IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. PRIORITIZED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN ASSESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, GEISINGER AND ITS CHNA PARTNERS SOLICITED AND RECEIVED INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH HOSPITAL, INCLUDING THOSE WITH EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH, REPRESENTATIVES OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WHO BROUGHT WIDE PERSPECTIVES ON COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO MEET THOSE NEEDS, AND GAPS IN THE CURRENT SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THROUGH FACILITATED DIALOGUE AND A SERIES OF CRITERIA-BASED VOTING EXERCISES, THE FOLLOWING HEALTH ISSUES WERE PRIORITIZED AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION ON WHICH TO FOCUS HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS OVER THE COMING THREE-YEAR CYCLE. ACCESS TO CARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (TO INCLUDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGIES) CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT (WITH A FOCUS ON INCREASING HEALTHY HABITS) TO DIRECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES, GEISINGER AND ITS CHNA PARTNERS CREATED INDIVIDUAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOR EACH HOSPITAL TO DETAIL THE RESOURCES AND SERVICES THAT WILL BE USED TO ADDRESS THESE IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIES. BOARD APPROVAL THE GEISINGER CHNA FINAL REPORTS WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE GEISINGER HEALTH AFFILIATE BOARDS ON JUNE 20, 2018 AND THE GEISINGER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON JUNE 21, 2018. FOLLOWING THE BOARDS' APPROVAL, ALL CHNA REPORTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC VIA THE GEISINGER WEBSITE AT HTTPS://WWW.GEISINGER.ORG/ABOUT-GEISINGER/IN-OUR-COMMUNITY/CHNA. RESEARCH PARTNER BAKER TILLY WAS ENGAGED AS OUR CHNA RESEARCH PARTNER. BAKER TILLY ASSISTED IN ALL PHASES OF THE CHNA INCLUDING PROJECT MANAGEMENT, QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION, SMALL AND LARGE GROUP FACILITATION AND REPORT WRITING. THE BAKER TILLY TEAM HAS WORKED WITH MORE THAN 100 HOSPITALS AND THOUSANDS OF THEIR COMMUNITY PARTNERS ACROSS THE NATION TO ASSESS HEALTH NEEDS AND DEVELOP ACTIONABLE PLANS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT THE TERMS "SYSTEM- OR "GEISINGER" SHALL REFER TO THE ENTIRE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM COMPRISED OF GEISINGER HEALTH ("GH") AS PARENT AND ALL SUBSIDIARY ENTITIES COMPRISING THE SYSTEM.
GROUP A, FACILITY 1, GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 6A	ALLIED SERVICES REHABILITATION HOSPITAL, JOHN HEINZ REHABILITATION HOSPITAL, EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER (INCLUDES GEISINGER-SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL), GEISINGER ENCOMPASS HEALTH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (DBA GEISINGER ENCOMPASS HEALTH REHABILITATION HOSPITAL), GEISINGER WYOMING VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER (INCLUDES GEISINGER SOUTH WILKES-BARRE), GEISINGER-BLOOMSBURG HOSPITAL, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER (DBA GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER), GEISINGER JERSEY SHORE HOSPITAL, GEISINGER-LEWISTOWN HOSPITAL, AND HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL (DBA GEISINGER HOLY SPIRIT).
GROUP A, FACILITY 1, GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 11	FIVE PRIORITY AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED WITHIN OUR CURRENT CHNA: ACCESS TO CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CHRONIC DISEASE, MATERNAL/INFANT HEALTH, AND SENIOR HEALTH. IN ASSESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, GEISINGER AND ITS CHNA PARTNERS SOLICITED AND RECEIVED INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH HOSPITAL, INCLUDING THOSE WITH EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH, REPRESENTATIVES OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WHO BROUGHT WIDE PERSPECTIVES ON COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO MEET THOSE NEEDS, AND GAPS IN THE CURRENT SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THROUGH FACILITATED DIALOGUE AND A SERIES OF CRITERIA-BASED VOTING EXERCISES, THE FOLLOWING HEALTH ISSUES WERE PRIORITIZED AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION ON WHICH TO FOCUS HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS OVER THE COMING THREE-YEAR CYCLE: ACCESS TO CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND CHRONIC DISEASE. PROGRAMMING AND CLINICAL SERVICES WITHIN THESE PRIORITY AREAS IMPACT THE POPULATIONS OF MATERIAL/INFANT HEALTH AND SENIOR HEALTH AND ARE THEREBY SERVED THROUGH ALL APPROPRIATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. BELOW ARE SYSTEMWIDE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY GEISINGER TO FULFILL COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S MOST RECENT CHNA. SOME PROGRAMS ARE COMPLETELY OPERATED OR FUNDED BY GEISINGER AND SOME ARE OFFERED IN COOPERATION WITH LOCAL HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES. FOR MORE SPECIFIC NEEDS FOUND IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, WE OFFER PROGRAMS TO SERVE PATIENTS CLOSE TO HOME. THE TOP THREE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT AND/OR PAST CHNA SURVEYS FALL INTO ONE OF THREE COMMUNITY NEED CATEGORIES: 1)IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE: THE MOST SIGNIFICANT NEED IDENTIFIED WAS FOR BETTER, FASTER, MORE CONVENIENT AND LESS COSTLY ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. GEISINGER IS TAKING INNOVATIVE STEPS TO ADDRESS BARRIERS TO HEALTHCARE BY: INCREASING THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO HAVE A REGULAR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER, INCREASING ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS, REDUCING BARRIERS TO RECEIVING CARE FOR RESIDENTS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION, PROMOTING AWARENESS OF AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR ASSISTANCE TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND FOSTERING THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH CAREERS AND ONGOING TRAINING OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. 2)ADDRESSING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE: GEISINGER IS COMMITTED TO HELPING PATIENTS FIND HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHEN THEY ARE FACING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHALLENGES OR STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION. WE ADVANCE DIALOGUE AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVEL TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS. WE FOSTER INTEGRATION OF BEHAVIOR AND PRIMARY HEALTH CARE. WE PROVIDE EDUCATION TO INCREASE RESIDENTS' AWARENESS OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES AND REDUCE THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. AND WE STRIVE TO INCREASE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. 3)MANAGING CHRONIC CONDITIONS: GEISINGER HAS NUMEROUS PROGRAMS TO HELP PATIENTS PREVENT AND MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS. EFFORTS INCLUDE ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT SUPPORT ACCESS TO AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES, INITIATING EARLY-STAGE INTERVENTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS AT HIGH RISK FOR CHRONIC DISEASE, AND DEVELOPING INTEGRATIVE CARE MODELS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC DISEASE. ACCESS: GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AND GEISINGER SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ARE COMMITTED TO INCREASING THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO HAVE A REGULAR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER AND HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE PRIMARY HEALTH NETWORK (PHN) TO INCREASE AVAILABILITY OF PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE SERVICES FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED RESIDENTS. THIS ARRANGEMENT HAS NOT ONLY INCREASED THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO REPORT HAVING A MEDICAL HOME, BUT IT HAS ALSO INCREASED THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE PREVENTIVE AND SPECIALTY CARE AND INCREASED THE AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED RESIDENTS. WE'RE SCREENING PATIENTS WHO ACCESS SERVICES AT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE IF THEY HAVE A MEDICAL HOME AND ASSIST THOSE WHO DO NOT IN FINDING A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER. THIS APPROACH HAS INCREASED THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO REPORT HAVING A MEDICAL HOME, INCREASED THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE PREVENTIVE CARE AND REDUCED THE NUMBER OF NON- EMERGENT VISITS TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. WE'RE FOSTERING THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH CAREERS AND ONGOING TRAINING OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS BY PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION FOR NURSING AND ALLIED HEALTH STUDENTS AND ENCOURAGING THE PURSUIT OF CAREERS IN THE HEATH FIELD BY WORKING WITH LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES TO PROMOTE HEALTHCARE OPPORTUNITIES. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AND GEISINGER SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ARE FOSTERING THE INTEGRATION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY HEALTH CARE. WE'RE ALSO EXPANDING OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PRIMARY HEALTH NETWORK (PHN) TO INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES WITHIN FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER LOCATIONS. THIS APPROACH HAS IMPROVED PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH FOR PHN PATIENTS AND REDUCED THE NUMBER OF HOSPITAL VISITS AND READMISSIONS DUE TO UNTREATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. WE ARE PROVIDING EDUCATION TO INCREASE RESIDENTS' AWARENESS OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES AND REDUCE THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. AS PART OF THIS INITIATIVE, WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION SCREENINGS IN NEW MOTHERS THAT BEGIN RIGHT AFTER DELIVERY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BABY'S LIFE. TELEPSYCHIATRY SERVICES HAVE BEEN ADDED AT THE MAIN CLINIC HUB AT GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER IN DANVILLE. PSYCHIATRISTS WITH SPECIALTIES IN PEDIATRICS, ADULT AND GEROPSYCHIATRY HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE TEAM. IN ADDITION, TELEPSYCHIATRY SERVICES ARE APPROVED FOR THE SHAMOKIN HOSPITAL. MULTIPLE PRIMARY CARE SITES HAVE EMBEDDED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS NEAR THE DANVILLE MAIN CAMPUS. CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT: GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AND GEISINGER SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT SUPPORT ACCESS TO AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES BY SUPPORTING COMMUNITY RACES, FUN RUNS, WALKS AND OTHER EVENTS THAT PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXERCISE COURSES/TRAILS AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND PARTICIPATING IN OR HOSTING FREE COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS TARGETING DIVERSE POPULATIONS. WE INITIATE EARLY-STAGE INTERVENTIONS FOR PEOPLE AT HIGH RISK FOR CHRONIC DISEASE. OUR TEAM OF CARDIOLOGISTS AND ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS PROVIDE AMBULATORY ACCESS FOR CONSULTATIONS AND FOLLOW-UP CARE ON THE GEISINGER SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CAMPUS. WE ALSO OFFER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO PATIENTS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, INCLUDING ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND STRESS TESTING. THE CAMPUS ALSO OFFERS ACCESS TO A CARDIAC REHABILITATION PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE THEIR FUNCTION AS WELL AS PROVIDES A COMMUNITY OF PATIENTS WHO ARE CONTINUING THEIR PURSUIT OF ENHANCED WELLNESS. WE ALSO DEVELOP INTEGRATIVE CARE MODELS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC DISEASE. OUR CHRONIC PAIN SUPPORT GROUP FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS IMPROVES PAIN MANAGEMENT, DECREASES ADDICTION TO CONTROLLED PAIN MEDICATIONS AND INCREASES THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES TO HELP MANAGE PAIN.

PART I, LINE 3C - OTHER INCOME BASED CRITERIA FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE	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 (FROM FOUR PRIOR PAY PERIODS), 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.
PART I, LINE 6A - RELATED ORGANIZATION INFORMATION	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT: A SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL AND ITS RELATED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IS INCLUDED IN GEISINGER'S ANNUAL REPORT AND IS AVAILABLE AT GEISINGER.ORG AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST. THE REPORT CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.GEISINGER.ORG/ABOUT- GEISINGER/NEWS-AND-MEDIA/FOR-MEDIA/ANNUAL-REPORTS
PART I, LINE 7G - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXPLANATION	THERE ARE NO PHYSICIAN CLINICAL SERVICES INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.
PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION	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.
PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY	REFER TO THE RESPONSE FOR PART III, LINE 4.
PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE	PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS ARE MONITORED THROUGHOUT THE BILLING PROCESS AND ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE (100% DISCOUNTED CARE) WHENEVER A PATIENT BECOMES ELIGIBLE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S UNCOMPENSATED OR CHARITY CARE POLICIES. THE HOSPITAL ESTIMATES THAT APPROXIMATELY 14% OF THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS ARE SUBSEQUENTLY RECLASSIFIED TO UNCOMPENSATED OR CHARITY CARE.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	PART III, LINES 2 AND 4: GEISINGER HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES ("GEISINGER"), THAT INCLUDES THE HOSPITAL, PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. GEISINGER'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL CHARITABLE AFFILIATES. SEE FOOTNOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING BEGINNING ON PAGE 8 OF THE ATTACHED GEISINGER CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, JUNE 30, 2019 AND JUNE 30, 2018. SEE PAGE 13 FOR THE DISCUSSION REGARDING NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION	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. -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 36,309,053 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. (IN FY 2019, APPROXIMATELY 14% 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 FISCAL YEAR ENDED 6/30/2019, THE HOSPITAL'S COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE FOR SERVICES ACCOUNTED FOR AS BAD DEBT WAS 3,896,871.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION	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 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.
PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT	THE FY2019 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 19 COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA WHICH REPRESENT THE COLLECTIVE SERVICE AREAS OF THE COLLABORATING HOSPITALS. TO DISTINGUISH UNIQUE SERVICE AREAS AMONG HOSPITALS AND FOSTER COOPERATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO IMPACT HEALTH NEEDS, REGIONAL RESEARCH AND LOCAL REPORTING WAS DEVELOPED. THE COLLABORATING HEALTH SYSTEMS AGREED THAT BY COORDINATING EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION, THE HEALTH SYSTEMS WOULD CONSERVE COMMUNITY RESOURCES WHILE DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP IN CONVENING LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS COMMON PRIORITY NEEDS. BEST PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT DEMONSTRATE THAT FOSTERING "COLLECTIVE IMPACT" IS AMONG THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAYS TO AFFECT THE HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY. COLLECTIVE IMPACT IS ACHIEVED BY COMMITTING A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS TOWARD A COMMON GOAL OR ACTION, PARTICULARLY TO IMPACT DEEP ROOTED SOCIAL OR HEALTH NEEDS. BY TAKING A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO THE CHNA, GEISINGER, ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ARE LEADING THE WAY TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE FOLLOWING PAGES DESCRIBE THE PROCESS AND RESEARCH METHODS USED IN THE FY2019 CHNA AND THE FINDINGS THAT PORTRAY THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND OUTLINE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADVANCE HEALTH AMONG ALL RESIDENTS ACROSS OUR SERVICE AREAS. SEE ALSO THE DISCUSSION RELATED TO THE RESPONSE TO PART V, LINE 5.
PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	FOR URGENT AND EMERGENT SERVICES, PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED CARE REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. IN THE EVENT A PATIENT HAS AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION; TREATMENT IS NOT DELAYED TO PERMIT AN INQUIRY REGARDING A PATIENT'S METHOD OF PAYMENT OR INSURANCE STATUS. FOR OTHER THAN URGENT AND EMERGENT SERVICES, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES UNCOMPENSATED CARE, FREE OF CHARGE, OR ON A 100% DISCOUNTED BASIS, TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE AN INABILITY TO PAY. DEPENDING UPON FAMILY SIZE AND INCOME, FREE OR 100% DISCOUNTED SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO A PATIENT WITH FAMILY INCOME OF 300% OR LESS OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. IT IS THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND FINANCIAL COUNSELING TO PATIENTS OF LIMITED MEANS. A PATIENT MAY BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT ANY TIME DURING TREATMENT OR DURING THE CONTINUUM OF THE FINANCIAL/BILLING PROCESS. INFORMATION (SIGNS, BROCHURES, ETC.) REGARDING THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES ARE PROVIDED AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM, REGISTRATION AND VARIOUS ACCESS POINTS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL. REGISTRATION PERSONNEL ALSO REFER UNINSURED AND/OR LOW INCOME PATIENTS TO FINANCIAL COUNSELORS TO DISCUSS THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. NOTICE OF THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON THE GEISINGER WEB SITE AT WWW.GEISINGER.ORG. PATIENTS ARE ALSO PROVIDED INFORMATION ON THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES WITH EACH PATIENT BILL. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ("FAP"), THE FAP APPLICATION AND PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY ("PLS") ARE AVAILABLE ON-LINE. PAPER COPIES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST WITHOUT CHARGE BY MAIL OR ARE AVAILABLE AT REGISTRATION AREAS WHICH INCLUDES EMERGENCY ROOMS, ADMITTING AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITAL-BASED CLINICS AND PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTS. ALL FAP DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND IN THE PRIMARY LANGUAGE OF POPULATIONS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY ("LEP") THAT CONSTITUTE THE LESSER OF 1,000 INDIVIDUALS OR 5% OF THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA. SIGNS OR DISPLAYS ARE CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED IN PUBLIC HOSPITAL LOCATIONS INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, ADMISSIONS DEPARTMENT AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT THAT INFORM PATIENTS OF THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALL PATIENTS ARE OFFERED A COPY OF THE PLS AS PART OF THE INTAKE AND DISCHARGE PROCESSES. ADDITIONALLY, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH CONCERNS.
PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION	GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AND GEISINGER SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OPERATE UNDER THE SAME LICENSE, AND AS SUCH ARE CONSIDERED A SINGLE ENTITY FOR PURPOSES OF THE CHNA. GEISINGER HEALTHSOUTH REHABILITATION HOSPITAL IS LOCATED ON THE CAMPUS OF GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AND IS OPERATED AS A FOR-PROFIT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AND ENCOMPASS HEALTH CORPORATION. COLLECTIVELY THE THREE FACILITIES PRIMARILY SERVE RESIDENTS IN 82 ZIP CODES SPANNING 14 COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE 2017 SERVICE AREA POPULATION IS 865,403; THE POPULATION IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE 0.4% BY 2022. ZIP CODE OF RESIDENCE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PREDICTORS OF HEALTH DISPARITY; WHERE RESIDENTS LIVE MATTERS IN DETERMINING THEIR HEALTH. THE COMMUNITY NEED INDEX (CNI) WAS DEVELOPED BY DIGNITY HEALTH AND TRUVEN HEALTH ANALYTICS TO ILLUSTRATE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEALTH DISPARITY AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL. THE CNI SCORES ZIP CODES ON A SCALE OF 1.0 (LOW NEED) TO 5.0 (HIGH NEED) BASED ON 2015 DATA INDICATORS FOR FIVE SOCIO-ECONOMIC BARRIERS: INCOME: POVERTY AMONG ELDERLY HOUSEHOLDS, FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, AND SINGLE FEMALE-HEADED FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN CULTURE/LANGUAGE: MINORITY POPULATIONS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE BARRIERS EDUCATION: POPULATION OVER 25 YEARS WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA INSURANCE COVERAGE: UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG POPULATION 16 YEARS OR OVER AND POPULATION WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE HOUSING STATUS: HOUSEHOLDERS RENTING THEIR HOME THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE CNI SCORE FOR THE 82 ZIP CODE SERVICE AREA IS 2.9, INDICATING MODERATE OVERALL COMMUNITY NEED. ZIP CODE 18201, HAZELTON HAS THE HIGHEST SCORE (4.4), FOLLOWED BY ZIP CODES 18702, WILKES-BARRE AND 17948, MAHANOY CITY (4.2). ZIP CODES 17976, SHENANDOAH, 17701, WILLIAMSPORT AND 18202, HAZLETON ALSO HAVE HIGHER SCORES (3.8 TO 4). AREAS WITHIN EACH LOCATION ARE DESIGNATED AS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS. RESIDENTS IN THE LUZERNE AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTY SERVICE AREA ZIP CODES OF 18702, WILKES-BARRE, 18201, HAZLETON, 18202, HAZLETON, 17976, SHENANDOAH, AND 17948, MAHANOY CITY, ARE THE MOST LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED BY POOR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE ZIP CODES HAVE THE HIGHEST CNI SCORES RANGING FROM 4.0 TO 4.4 OUT OF 5. RESIDENTS IN SEVERAL ZIP CODES SPANNING CLINTON, LACKAWANNA, LYCOMING, MIFFLIN, AND NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTIES ALSO EXPERIENCE POORER SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. RESIDENTS IN ALL OF THE ZIP CODES HAVE HIGHER POVERTY RATES, RANGING FROM 15% TO 21%, AS WELL AS AT LEAST ONE OTHER BARRIER RELATED TO THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. RESIDENTS IN CENTRE COUNTY ZIP CODES HAVE HIGHER POVERTY RATES, BUT THE RATES ARE LIKELY IMPACTED BY COLLEGE STUDENTS ATTENDING THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY. TWO ZIP CODES WITHIN SNYDER COUNTY: 17864, PORT TREVORTON, AND 17853, MOUNT PLEASANT MILLS, HAVE A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS SPEAKING A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH, LOWER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, AND HIGHER UNINSURED RATES. SNYDER COUNTY IS HOME TO THE MCCLURE SETTLEMENT FOR AMISH RESIDENTS. THE AMISH ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE INSURED AND MAY ALSO SPEAK PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN/DUTCH. THE CENTRAL REGION IS COMPRISED OF NINE COUNTIES AND IS SERVED BY SIX OF THE CHNA COLLABORATING HOSPITALS, INCLUDING GEISINGER MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS GEISINGER SHAMOKIN AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CAMPUS AND GEISINGER HEALTHSOUTH REHABILITATION HOSPITAL. THE CENTRAL REGION POPULATION IS PRIMARILY WHITE, BUT DIVERSITY IS INCREASING. THE WHITE POPULATION AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IS DECLINING IN ALL COUNTIES, WHILE BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATIONS ARE GROWING. THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT IS A STATEWIDE TREND. MINORITY POPULATIONS ARE THE ONLY GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATION IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS. MONTOUR, NORTHUMBERLAND AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTIES ARE PROJECTED TO EXPERIENCE THE GREATEST INCREASE IN THE HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATION. PENNSYLVANIA FARES BETTER THAN THE NATION ON MOST ECONOMIC INDICATORS. PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO LIVE IN POVERTY, HAVE A SIMILAR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AS THE NATION'S AVERAGE, AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ATTAINED AT LEAST A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. WITHIN THE CENTRAL REGION, RESIDENTS HAVE A LOWER MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME WHEN COMPARED TO THE STATE AND THE NATION. RESIDENTS IN CLINTON, COLUMBIA AND LYCOMING HAVE HIGHER POVERTY RATES THAN THE STATE AND THE NATION. SIMILARLY, EDUCATION ATTAINMENT IS LOWER AMONG MOST CENTRAL REGION COUNTIES, EXCEPTING MONTOUR, SNYDER, AND SULLIVAN. RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS LIKE BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN OR HISPANIC/LATINO RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED BY ADVERSE SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS, INCLUDING POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, OR EDUCATION ATTAINMENT. POVERTY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DRIVERS OF DISPARITY IN THE CENTRAL REGION. POVERTY RATES AMONG MINORITY POPULATIONS ARE DOUBLE THE RATES AMONG WHITES. SOCIOECONOMIC DISPARITY CONTRIBUTES TO WORSE HEALTH OUTCOMES. BECAUSE POPULATION COUNTS FOR MINORITY RESIDENTS ACROSS THE REGION ARE LOW, HEALTH DISPARITIES ARE PRIMARILY EVIDENCED BY STATE AND NATIONAL TRENDS. THE 2017 POPULATION OF THE CENTRAL REGION IS 577,141. LYCOMING AND SCHUYLKILL COUNTIES COMPRISE THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION (46%). COUNTIES WITH SOME OF THE SMALLEST POPULATION COUNTS (CLINTON, MONTOUR, AND SNYDER) ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE THE LARGEST GROWTH BY 2022. THE CENTRAL REGION POPULATION IS PRIMARILY WHITE, BUT BECOMING MORE DIVERSE. THE PERCENTAGE OF WHITE RESIDENTS DECREASED ABOUT 1 PERCENTAGE POINT FROM 2010 TO 2017, WHILE THE PERCENTAGES OF BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN AND/OR HISPANIC/LATINO INCREASED SLIGHTLY SINCE 2010. THESE TRENDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH 2022. CONSISTENT WITH THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE AREA, RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO SPEAK ENGLISH AS THEIR PRIMARY LANGUAGE. PENNSYLVANIA HAS A HIGHER MEDIAN AGE THAN THE NATION. THE MEDIAN AGE OF LYCOMING, MONTOUR, NORTHUMBERLAND, SCHUYLKILL, AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES EXCEEDS THE STATE. SULLIVAN COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST MEDIAN AGE, EXCEEDING THE STATE BY 11 POINTS. ALL COUNTIES WITHIN THE CENTRAL REGION HAVE A LOWER MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME THAN THE STATE AND THE NATION. SULLIVAN COUNTY HAS THE LOWEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME, BUT SIMILAR POVERTY RATES TO THE STATE. CLINTON, COLUMBIA, AND LYCOMING COUNTIES HAVE THE HIGHEST POVERTY RATES AMONG ALL RESIDENTS AND/OR CHILDREN. APPROXIMATELY 22% TO 25% OF CHILDREN IN CLINTON AND LYCOMING COUNTIES LIVE IN POVERTY. MONTOUR COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND THE LOWEST POVERTY RATES. ALL CENTRAL REGION COUNTIES EXCEPT MONTOUR HAVE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF BLUE COLLAR WORKERS WHEN COMPARED TO THE STATE AND THE NATION. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR ALL COUNTIES IS SIMILAR TO OR LOWER THAN THE STATE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, RANGING FROM 3% TO 6%. HOMEOWNERSHIP IS A MEASURE OF HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND ECONOMIC STABILITY. ALL COUNTIES HAVE A LOWER MEDIAN HOME VALUE WHEN COMPARED TO THE STATE, BUT ONLY HOUSEHOLDERS IN MONTOUR, SCHUYLKILL, AND SNYDER COUNTIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO OWN THEIR HOME. ALL THREE COUNTIES HAVE SOME OF THE LOWEST POVERTY RATES IN THE REGION. EDUCATION IS THE LARGEST PREDICTOR OF POVERTY AND ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF REDUCING INEQUALITIES. A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS IN ALL COUNTIES EXCEPT MONTOUR CONCLUDE THEIR EDUCATION WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA WHEN COMPARED TO THE STATE. MONTOUR COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER WHEN COMPARED TO PEER COUNTIES.
PART VI, LINE 5 - PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	SCHEDULE H, PART I IN ADDITION TO THE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS INCURRED BY THE ORGANIZATION AS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7; PLEASE REFER TO SCHEDULE O OF THIS FORM 990 FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S NARRATIVE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HOW THE ORGANIZATION PROMOTES HEALTH AND PROVIDES HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDLESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO PAY IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE TAX EXEMPT PURPOSE.
PART VI, LINE 6 - AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM	THE HOSPITAL IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN GEISINGER, AN INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES ORGANIZATION THAT INCLUDES 13 HOSPITAL CAMPUSES, A NEARLY 600,000 -MEMBER HEALTH PLAN, TWO RESEARCH CENTERS, THE GEISINGER LEWISTOWN HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING AND THE GEISINGER COMMONWEALTH SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. AND GEISINGER'S MYCODE COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVE, THE LARGEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM-BASED PRECISION HEALTH PROJECT IN THE WORLD, WITH NEARLY 200,000 VOLUNTEERS ENROLLED, IS CONDUCTING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND RETURNING MEDICALLY ACTIONABLE RESULTS TO PARTICIPANTS. HISTORY. GEISINGER HAD ITS BEGINNINGS IN THE SMALL COMMUNITY OF DANVILLE, WHICH IS 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. HAVE BEEN ADDED IN RECENT YEARS. CORPORATE STRUCTURE. THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM 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. SEE SCHEDULE R FOR A LIST OF THE AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS COMPRISING GEISINGER.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION	PART VI, LINE 7: FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 7, STATE FILING OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT: AT THIS TIME, THE HOSPITAL AND ITS AFFILIATES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FILE A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WITH ANY STATE.
