Grace Cottage HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 5: As required by Vermont statute and Treasury Regulation 501(r), Grace Cottage Hospital conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years. Our most recent CHNA was done collaboratively in 2018 (tax year 2017) with Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) and the Brattleboro Retreat. These three healthcare organizations focused on involving as many stakeholders and community members as possible in the data collection process, which took place from October 2017 to May 2018. Secondary data was collected from multiple sources including: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Vermont Department of Health, Vermont Department of Labor, Vermont Department of Transportation, Vermont Foodbank, and Vermont Town and County Data Pages. The secondary data was benchmarked against state and national trends, where possible. Primary data was obtained through a consumer survey and a secondary survey of representatives of medically underserved populations. The consumer survey was distributed in both paper copy as well as online. In total, 1,257 surveys were collected for Windham County. The secondary survey was held to collect qualitative data on at-risk populations. The following medically underserved populations were represented in the focus group: - Elderly/Senior Population - HIV+ Individuals - Homeless Population - LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and/or Questioning) Individuals - Racial and Ethnic Minority PopulationsThe three hospitals set up a steering committee made up of individuals from the State of Vermont Department of Health, Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, Grace Cottage Hospital, and The Brattleboro Retreat. Additionally, the participating organizations engaged a wide range of stakeholders through the surveys, including health care providers, human service organizations, and other nonprofit organizations. Grace Cottage identified the following as High Priority Significant Health Needs in our service area: Diabetes/Obesity/Weight Management, Mental Health Issues (Stress, Anxiety, Depression), Substance Abuse.The 2018 Community Health Needs Assessment was adopted by the Grace Cottage Board of Trustees on September 21, 2018 and the Implementation Plan was approved by the Board on January 18, 2019. An updated Implementation Plan for FY18 is available for public viewing at https://gracecottage.org/about-us/our-hospital/community-health-needs-assessment/.
Grace Cottage HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 6a: The 2018 Community Health Needs Assessment was conducted with Brattleboro Memorial Hospital and The Brattleboro Retreat.
Grace Cottage HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 11: The Hospital had not completed its updated Implementation Plan from the 2018 CHNA by the end of the filing period, although it was completed, approved by the Board of Trustees, and available to the public in January 2019, well within the required six-month timeframe from the completion of the CHNA. Pursuant to IRS instructions, we have reported 2014 as the year the hospital last adopted an implementation plan, as that information is accurate as of the close of the filing period (September 30, 2018).Please see attached 2018 CHNA Implementation Plan for information on how the Hospital is addressing the significant needs identified in its most recently conducted CHNA. An update on progress made annually on the goals of the 2015 Plan are available on page 64 of the 2018 CHNA Report. While a significant health need in our service area, Grace Cottage Hospital is not addressing dental issues as we do not provide dental services. The additional Level 2 Priorities identified in the 2018 CHNA -- Healthy Aging, Smoking/Tobacco Use, and Heart Disease -- are addressed with all patients on an on-going and personal basis.
Grace Cottage HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 13b: Generally, Grace Cottage Hospital uses the Federal Poverty Guidelines to determine eligibility for financial assistance. However, applications may be reviewed on a case by case basis and at times financial assistance granted even if a patient is above the prescribed FPG level or qualifies only for a lesser reduction in fees if there is a prevailing circumstance that justifies additional financial support.
Grace Cottage HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 20e: Grace Cottage Hospital (GCH) located in rural, mountainous Townshend, VT provides services to patients, whether a community member, second homeowner, or vacationer, through our Critical Access Hospital, Rural Health Clinic, and Outpatient Rehabilitation. Taking pride in the community we serve, we make every attempt possible to notify patients of The Reduced Fee Program and Formal Payment Plan options at GCH that will allow patients to receive care without undue hardship. The following are some of the steps currently in place, to notify patients of the available options: - All registration areas of the Critical Access Hospital, Rural Health Clinic, and Outpatient Rehabilitation Services have visible signs on display notifying patients of our Reduced Fee Program. - All registration staff upon verification of no insurance, limited insurance coverage with high patient responsibility portions, or communication from patient indicating difficulty with paying bill, will offer a Reduced Fee Application, Policy, and business card for our Resource Advocate, identifying the many services she provides to patients free of charge and her contact information. Staff will also offer to schedule an appointment for the patient with Resource Advocate for assistance in completing the Reduced Fee Application, troubleshooting issues with insurance, and/or applying for insurance coverage whether it is primary or secondary. - Patients receive at least 5 billing statements over the course of 120 day time frame (patients in a formal payment plan or whom have a billing issue arise may increase the number of statements to be received or increase the number of days to complete the 5 billing statement cycle). Every statement has a message that notifies them of the Reduced Fee Program and steps to take to get started. - Once a patient balance is past due (>30 days from date of first patient billing) Patient Accounts Specialists contact patients via phone in an attempt to alert patient to past due balance, offer a formal payment plan if balance unable to be paid in full. If/when patient indicates difficulty in paying their bill, Patient Accounts Specialists will notify patient of the Reduced Fee Program and offer to mail the application and policy to them. Patient Accounts Specialists note patients account with a briefing of the phone call. If a patient balance is aged >120 days from the date of the first billing statement and a potential to be sent to a third party collections agency the account is reviewed, if there is a note from patient accounts indicating a Reduced Fee application and policy have been mailed to the patient within the last 45 days a hold will be placed on transferring the balance to the third party collections agency. After 45-60 days if no Reduced Fee application or communication from the patient the balance will be transferred to the third party collections agency at that time. - All Reduced Fee applications are processed with required documentation to determine eligibility in accordance with our Sliding Fee Scale based on Federal Poverty Guidelines. If missing required documents, a written request is sent to the patient and application held while awaiting documents. All processed applications are filed, written notice of eligibility is mailed to the patient, eligibility is noted on patient's account and adjustments are made manually after insurance processing and prior to a billing statement being mailed to the patient, and all applications are documented on a yearly spreadsheet showing household members, date of application (eligibility begin date), expiration date, whether they are eligible, percentage they are eligible for, and comments for case by case applications that identifies parameters for this approval/denial i.e. only one date of service.

Part I, Line 6a:N/A
Part I, Line 7:The amounts reported for Charity Care and Means-Tested Government Programs were calculated using a cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges.

Part I, Line 7, Column (f):The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 556,089.
Part II, Community Building Activities:See previous and subsequent narrative responses.
Part III, Line 2:The cost of the bad debt expense reported on line 2 was calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost-to-charges (calculated on Worksheet 2) to the total bad debt expense. The amount of bad debt expense for accounts written off as bad debt is the account balance after all charity care discounts, contractual allowances, and insurance/patient payments have been applied. Any cash collected on accounts previously written off is included as an offset to bad debt expense.
Part III, Line 3:The amount of bad debt expense (at cost) attributable to patients eligible under our charity care policy reported on line 3 was estimated based on a review of Reduced Fee/Free Care Applications. The number of approved completed applications versus the number of incomplete applications was compared and a ratio applied to the Charity Care balance to estimate this number. It is felt that this estimate should actually be much higher because, though we work hard to educate our patients regarding the charity care policy, including having a Resource Advocate to help patients complete them if they require assistance, many of the applications we distribute to patients are not returned. Knowing our patient population as we do, we believe it is primarily attributable to patients not wanting to share the income information.
Part III, Line 4:Please see Footnote 1 on Page 8 of the attached financial statements for the footnote that addresses bad debt.
Part III, Line 8:Medicare allowable costs reported in the Medicare Cost Report are reported in accordance with CMS Guidelines using the cost-to-charge ratio methodology.
Part III, Line 9b:Grace Cottage Hospital does not pursue collections actions against patients for amounts qualified for financial assistance. If a patient is unable to pay a balance in full after reduced fees and financial assistance have been applied, the patient is required to setup an acceptable payment plan per the collections policy. Any patient making acceptable monthly payments on their balance will not be at risk for further collections actions and/or forfeiture of their reduced fee care or financial assistance. However, any balance remaining after that discount that goes unpaid as agreed upon will follow the collections actions outlined in the Hospital's collection policy. Failure to resolve the balance in full or any missed payments will result in forfeiture of reduced fees and/or financial assistance, and the patient's account will be placed with a collections agency for further action. Additionally, the patient will not be eligible for reduced fees or financial assistance until a substantial effort is put forth to rectify the outstanding balance.
Part VI, Line 2:Grace Cottage Hospital is such a small hospital in a rural, relatively sparsely populated area that our community leaders, patients, and members of the public are quick to inform our administrators and our medical staff about how Grace Cottage serves the healthcare needs of the public. Grace Cottage's small size ensures that we can be responsive to community requests made via our website, e-mails to members of our staff, or informal face-to-face meetings with people in the communities we serve.
Part VI, Line 3:Although we are Vermont's smallest Critical Access Hospital, Grace Cottage Hospital believes that quality health care should be available to all; and that we all have a responsibility to help others in need regardless of their ability to pay. Posters and brochures detailing the availability of help with billing, public programs, and charity care are displayed in high traffic areas throughout the Hospital, rural health clinic and pharmacy, as well as listed on the Hospital's website. The staff reaches out to patients in a variety of ways to ensure that they are aware that help is available. During fiscal year 2018, the Hospital continued to employ a Patient Resource Advocate to help uninsured and underinsured patients locate and procure services for which they may qualify. The Patient Resource Advocate's services were free of charge for community members between the ages of 18-64 years (those 65 and older were encouraged to contact Senior Solutions, formerly Southeastern Vermont Council on Aging). The Hospital's Patient Resource Advocate helped many people with a wide variety of resource issues, helping to fill out necessary forms and making connections for patients with other federal, state and local resources. This employee was an expert in filling out reduced fee applications, finding sources for reduced-cost or free prescription medications, and locating other avenues of support.
Part VI, Line 4:Grace Cottage Hospital plays a vital role in healthcare for this rural, mountainous community. Its federal designation as a critical access hospital recognizes its importance in providing health care to an otherwise medically underserved community. The Hospital's emergency department is especially vital to members of the community, who would otherwise have to travel many miles on winding, mountainous highways to reach emergency medical care at another hospital. Grace Cottage Hospital is located in Windham County, in southeastern Vermont. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Windham County has an estimated total of 43,714 residents. Grace Cottage Hospital's patient base is approximately 26,000 residents, mostly from 21 surrounding towns. The median household income of Windham County, Vermont, is $50,917 (U.S. Census Bureau "Quick Facts," updated 2016). Income statistics for the total population served by Grace Cottage Hospital are not available because Grace Cottage only requires income information from patients requesting reduced fees or free care.
Part VI, Line 5:Grace Cottage Hospital is a Critical Access Hospital located in rural, mountainous Townshend, Vermont. The Hospital is served by a Board of Trustees consisting of local citizens active in community businesses and organizations. Only one of the twelve trustees, a physician, is a hospital employee. All trustees reside or work in the Hospital's service area and bring a wealth of community input to the Hospital's strategic planning process. The Hospital extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the community.Grace Cottage Hospital applies any surplus funds towards improving its ability to provide quality patient care and being an integral part of assuring the health and well-being of the communities we serve. For example, in view of the fact that Mental Health was identified as a High Priority Significant Need in our Community Health Needs Assessment, Grace Cottage doubled the size of our behavioral health team during fiscal year 2015 and, in 2015 we hired a full-time psychiatric nurse practitioner who is embedded in the family health practice, where he is a key player in the healthcare team. Despite its small size, Grace Cottage Hospital is committed to giving back to the community to the greatest extent possible. Thanks to the Vermont Blueprint for Health, Grace Cottage's Community Health Team has been able to provide free consultations, open to everyone in the community served by Grace Cottage. Members of the Community Health Team, including a care coordinator and an outreach coordinator (both registered nurses), a health coach, a diabetes educator (also a registered nurse), and a behavioral health specialist work with patients one-on-one, conduct support groups, and also attend area senior lunches and provide screenings at area organizations (such as Neighborhood Connections).In addition, the Community Health Team interacts with another Vermont Blueprint for Health program, SASH (Support and Services at Home), and provides, in collaboration with SASH, ongoing support groups and workshops. Grace Cottage Hospital is a very active partner in numerous community collaborations and programs, including (but not limited to): - West River Valley Thrives: supporting and promoting healthy lifestyle choices, with an emphasis on the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use by young people. - Townshend Community Hope and Action: promoting a healthy, connected community through area events. - West River Valley Food Group/Vermont Food Bank: organizing the procurement and distribution of food to those in need.
