Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 6a: In 2016, in partnership with the Coalition of Western MA Hospitals/Insurer, the hospital facility conducted a community health needs assessments ("CHNA") of the geographic area served by the hospital facility. The Coalition of Western Massachusetts Hospitals/Insurer ("Coalition"), a partnership between nine (9) not-for-profit hospitals and an insurer in western Massachusetts that includes: Baystate Medical Center, Baystate Franklin Medical Center, Baystate Noble Hospital, Baystate Wing Hospital,(including Baystate Mary Lane Outpaitent Center), Holyoke Medical Center, Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Mercy Medical Center (a member of Trinity Health - New England), Shriners Hospitals for Children - Springfield, and Health New England, a local health insurer whose service area covers the four counties of western Massachusetts.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 6b: The Coalition of Western MA Hospitals and Insurer engaged the Public Health Institue of Western MA (PHIWM), based in Springfield, MA, as the lead consultant to conduct the CHNA's. PHIWM was supported by two other consultant teams; Community Health Solutions, based in Northampton, MA and Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC), based in Springfield, MA. The Coalition includes Health New England, a local health insurer whose service area covers the four counties of western Massachusetts.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 7d: The hospital facility made its CHNA report widely available to the public via an email distribution, with links to the hospital's website, to community partners and organizations. The regional findings from the CHNA reports were shared publicly at the Western MA Health Equity Summit in November 2016 (over 300 attendees). In addition, the CHNA reports have informed the development and implementation of county wide community health improvement plans. Hospital and CHNA consultant staff have been invited to various venues and audiences to present on the CHNA process and key findings.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 11: The hospital facility anticipates health needs and available resources may change, therefore, a flexible approach was adopted in the development of its implementation strategy. For example, certain community health needs may become more pronounced and require changes to the initiatives identified by the hospital in the Strategy. Other community organizations may address certain needs, indicating that the hospital's strategies should be refocused on alternative community health needs or assume a different focus on the needs identified in the 2016 CHNA.Hospital resource inputs that will help address priority health needs include, Community Benefits Investments, Community Relations Investments, Better Together Grant Program, hospital-based community benefits activities, external grants received by hospital, and other hospital-based program/services.The hospital facility views a community benefits implementation strategy as a "LIVING" document. Due to the evolving climate in health care, the hospital's financial health year to year remains unknown; therefore hospital resources and inputs may increase, decrease, or need to be modified. The hospital's implementation strategy work plan provides an opportunity for the hospital to be strategic and focused, yet flexible in its community health planning and improvement efforts. The hospital facility, in patnership with its Community Benefits Advisory Council updates the work plan with annual outputs and outcomes for each input and activity. No health care system or hospital facility can address all the health needs present in its community. The hospital facility is committed to adhering to its mission and remaining financially healthy so that it can continue to enhance its clinical excellence and patient experience, as well as continue community health planning and improvement efforts. The hospital facility's implementation strategy does not explicitly address all the priority community health needs identified in the 2016 CHNA due to; 1. the hospital's limited resources (time, talent and financial), 2. other hospitals or community organizations within service area are addressing the need; 3. the need falls outside of the hospitals' mission or limited resource capacity. However, many, if not all of the CHNA priority health needs will be addressed INDIRECTLY by the hospital and/or community partners through existing community health planning and improvement efforts.Needs being addressed include, care coordination, chronic health conditions, cultural humility, health equity, insurance challenges, limited availability of providers, maternal/infant/ child health, mental health and substance use disorders, and sexual health/teen pregnancy. Needs not directly being addressed the hospital include, basic needs, transportation, food deserts/ insecurity, health literacy, and physical activity and healthy diet.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 13b: All patients with account balances (other than balances resulting from co-payments or deductibles on insured services) are eligible to receive a prompt pay discount of 20% of the balance for claims paid in full at time of service or within 60 days of the date of the initial bill. Patients must request the discount. The discount cannot be combined with the Hospital Supplemental Financial Assistance Program. Baystate Franklin Medical Center offers a co-payment discount program for patients receiving services in the emergency department of the hospital. This discount program is available to all hospital emergency department patients with co-payment obligations under private or government health insurance (unless prohibited by law or a Baysate Franklin Medical Center's contract with a private insurer or government authority). These patients may reduce the otherwise applicable emergency department service co-payment by 10% if the patient elects to pay the co-payment at the conclusion of the patient's emergency department visit.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 15e: Baystate Franklin Medical Center (BFMC) provides patients with information about the availability of State Programs, Health Safety Net, or the Hospital Supplemental Financial Assistance Program which may cover all or some of their unpaid BFMC bills as well as about BFMC discount programs. For those patients who request such assistance, the hospital assists patients by screening them for eligibility in available State Programs and assisting them in applying for such programs. When applicable, BFMC may also assist patients in applying for coverage of services as a Medical Hardship based on the patient's documented income and allowable medical expenses. BFMC has contracted with the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority to serve as a Certified Application Counselor Organization. As a Certified Application Counselor (CAC), appropriate staff will inform a patient of the functions and responsibility of a CAC, seek that the patient sign a Certified Application Counselor Designation Form, and assist the patient in finding applicable financial assistance.
Baystate Franklin Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 16j: Paper copies of our financial assistance policy (FAP) and the FAP application, and a FAP plain language summary as well as the Billing and Collections Policy are available upon request, in English, Spanish, and Russian, and free of charge in the hospital and by mail, as well as the hospital facilities website https://www.baystatehealth.org/patients/billing-and-financial-assistance A plain language summary of the FAP is offered to all patients at all registration sites including our full service health centers in the community - Baystate Brightwood Health Center and Baystate Mason Square Neighborhood Health Center. In addition, copies of the full FAP, FAP application and Billing and Collections Policy are also available at all registration sites. Copies of our community health needs assessment are available for viewing and download on our website at https://www.baystatehealth.org/about-us/community-programs/community-benefits/community-health-needs-assessment. Hard copies of our CHNA are available upon request free of charge. We have also shared our CHNA with all the community members who were involved with CHNA as well as each hospitals Community Benefits Advisory Council (CBAC). The hospital is committed to ongoing efforts to widely publicize our FAP and CHNA to the community, specifically, to low-income populations.

Part I, Line 6a:The hospital facility files an annual community benefits report electronically with the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General's via their website at https://www.mass.gov/nonprofit-hospital-and-hmo-community-benefits. The hospital facility's annual community benefits report is also published on the Baystate Health website at https://www.baystatehealth.org/about-us/community-programs/ community-benefits/community-health-needs-assessment. The hospital's community benefits report provides the Office of the Attorney General and the general public important information about how the hospital partners with the community to identify and address health needs.
Part I, Line 7:Line 7a (Charity Care) - community benefit expense was calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges, calculated on Worksheet 2, against total charity care gross patient charges from the audited financial statements.Line 7b (Unreimbursed Medicaid) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under Medicaid and Medicaid managed care plans.Line 7c (Other Means-Tested Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under other means-tested government programs.Line 7e Community Health Improvement Services calculations are derived from direct and indirect costs associated with community benefit activities that are aligned with the hospital's 2013 community health needs assessment. These activities are carried out to improve community health and wellness and extend beyond patient care beyond the walls of the hospital. Community Benefit Operations calculations are derived from costs associated with assigned staff and community health needs and/or assets assessment, as well as other costs associated with community benefit strategy and operations. Line 7g (Subsidized Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system. The expense relates to the inpatient behavioral health program.
Part I, Line 7g:There are no costs attributable to physician clinics reported as subsidized health services in Part I, line 7g.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):In fiscal year 2013, the organization adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954), Presentation and disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities on October 1, 2012. The update changed how the provision for bad debts is reported on the audited financial statements. In prior years it was included with total operating expenses, and subtracted from total expenses reported in Part IX, Line 25, column (A) for the purpose of calculating the percentages in Part I, Line 7, column (f). In 2018, the provision for bad debts was reported as a deduction to net patient service revenue. The 2018 provision for bad debts totaled $2,381,553 and is not included in total expenses reported in Part IX, Line 25, column (A) of Form 990 for the purpose of calculating the percentages in Part 1, Line 7, column (f) of this Schedule H.
Part II, Community Building Activities:The following description is not quantified specifically in Part II of Schedule H. The hospital facility is committed to creating healthier communities and understands that many state and federally mandated community benefit programs and services are not sufficient to address ethnic, racial and economic health disparities and inequities. The hospital embraces the traditional definition of "health" to include economic opportunity, affordable housing, quality education, safe neighborhoods, food security, social and racial justice, and the arts/culture - all elements that are needed for individuals, families and communities to thrive. The hospital provides many valuable services, resources, programs and financial support - beyond the walls of the hospital and into the communities and homes of the people we serve; including grants and sponsorship of local community-based organizations and the involvement of Baystate leadership with various community board that align with our mission. The hospital facility paid dues to the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce and the Greenfield Business Association, and the Shelburne Falls Business Association, totaling $1,780. The hospital participates in the Chamber and local business associations as we are one of the largest local employers in our service area. The Chamber and its membership coordinate activities toward a common purpose of sustainability and economic growth for the region.
Part III, Line 4:The cost of bad debts reported in Part III, line 2 was calculated by applying a ratio of cost to charges (based on the organization's cost accounting system including all hospital inpatients and outpatients) against total patient bad debt net of recoveries as reported in the audited financial statements. The portion of bad debt that reasonably could be attributable to patients who may qualify for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care program (reported in Part III line 3) was calculated by applying the percentage of bad debts by zip code (for which the average household income for each zip code is less than 150% of the federal poverty level) to the total cost of bad debt reported in Part III line 2. Since this portion of bad debt is attributable to patients residing in an area where the average income is less than 150% of the Federal poverty level, it is highly likely these patients would have qualified for the organization's charity care program had they applied. For this reason, we believe the amount, totaling $728 should be treated as community benefit expense in Part I. As noted above, the organization adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-07 effective October 1, 2012, which changed the way entities report and disclose certain financial information including the provision for bad debts. See footnote #2 (Significant Accounting Policies) on page 13 of the audited financial statements under the caption "Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts" for a description of the organization's reporting of its provision for bad debts.If a patient is determined eligible for financial assistance, the appropriate adjustment is made to the patient account based on their income level. Once the necessary approvals are obtained, it then flows to the general ledger. Patients applying for a prompt payment discount will have this allowance entered after agreed upon payment is received.
Part III, Line 8:Line 6 - included all Medicare allowable costs as calculated in Worksheets D-1 Part II (inpatient) and D Part V (outpatient) of the hospital's 2018 Medicare cost report, net of Medicare costs reported in Part I, line 7.g, based on Medicare costing principles. We believe the shortfall of $1,529,767 reported on line 20 should be treated as community benefit expense for tax reporting purposes because providing care for the elderly is a key component of our commitment to the community. The unreimbursed expenses should be treated similarly to unreimbursed Medicaid since the majority of the local elder population is not affluent.
Part III, Line 9b:For patients who are known to qualify for Charity Care or Financial Assistance: The patient may have requested assistance up front at time of service with a Financial Counselor or the Patient could have asked for assistance after receiving their bill by contacting our Patient Billing Services Representatives. The Financial Counselor will assist the patient in applying for the appropriate type of assistance based on their income and circumstances. Once approved for State Medicaid or other program, all billing and collection activity will stop (except for required co-payments or deductibles).For all other patients, our statements contain information regarding how to apply for financial assistance. Notices concerning availability for assistance are also posted at patient care sites.
Part VI, Line 2:The Baystate Board Governance Committee convenes semi-annually and is charged with advocating for community benefits at the Board level and throughout the health system and broader community; aligning the system's four (4) hospital-specific community benefits implementation strategies into the health system's strategic plan; review of CHNA data; approval of a community benefits mission statement and health priorities; reviewing impacts of community benefits activities and investments; and ensuring Baystate's community benefits are in compliance with guidelines established by the MA Attorney General and IRS. Annually, the Office of Government and Community Relations provides updates to the Baystate Board of Trustees, Baystate President's Cabinet, and other Baystate leadership teams, as requested. The hospital Community Benefits Advisory Council (CBAC) continues to bring a community lens and filter for the hospital's health priorites. The CBAC provides a community perspective on how to increase wellness and resilience opportunities for optimal health for an entire population; guidance in matching hospital resources to community resources, thus making the most of what is possible with the goal to improve health status and quality of life; and policy advocacy to assure and retore health equity by targeting resources for residents. Participants on the hospital CBAC represent constituencies and communities served by the hospital. CBAC members are responsible for reviewing community needs assessment data and use this analysis as a foundation for providing the hospital with input on its community benefits planning process.
Part VI, Line 3:The hospital is committed to ensuring that patients in its community have access to quality health care services with fairness and respect without regard to the patients' ability to pay. The hospital recognizes the cost of necessary health care services can impose a significant financial burden on patients who are uninsured or underinsured and acts affirmatively to lessen that burden by offering patients in need the opportunity to apply for free or reduced cost services. The hospital not only offers free and reduced cost care to the financially needy as required by law, but has also voluntarily established discount and financial assistance programs that provide additional free and reduced cost care to more patients residing within the communities served by the hospital.The hospital recognizes the billing and collection process can be bewildering and burdensome for patients and has implemented procedures to make the process understandable for patients; to inform patients about discount and financial assistance options; and to ensure that patients are not subject to aggressive collection activities. Consistent with its patient commitment the hospital is required to maintain a financial assistance policy and a billing and collection policy that reflects its financial assistance options and patient billing and collection procedures and complies with applicable state and federal laws and regulations.The hospital has financial counselors available to help patients apply for financial assistance programs that may cover unpaid hospital bills, including a variety of federal and state programs as well as financial assistance through the hospital. Hospital financial counselors have all been trained and certified by the state as Certified Account Counselors to assist patients in applying for available state and federal programs. The hospital is committed to ensuring that patients or prospective patients in the community are aware of financial assistance programs. For uninsured or underinsured patients, the hospital will assist in applying for available financial assistance programs. The hospital notifies patients of the availability of assistance in both the initial bill sent to patients as well as in general notices posted throughout the hospital.When applicable, the hospital also assists patients in applying for coverage of services as a Medical Hardship based on the patient's documented income and allowable medical expenses. The hospital provides, upon request, specific information about the eligibility process to be a Low Income Patient under either the Massachusetts Health Safety Net Program or additional assistance for patients who are low income through Baystate's own internal financial assistance program. The hospital also notifies patients about available payment plans based on their family size and income. Our Financial Assistance Policy and Billing and Collection Policy are posted on the baystatehealth.org website athttps://www.baystatehealth.org/-/media/files/patients-and-visitors/billing -and-financial-assistance/baystate-health-hospitals-billing-collections -policy-91516.pdf?la=en. The goal of posting the Financial Assistance Policy and the Billing and Collection Policy is to ensure that patients or prospective patients in our community are aware of our financial assistance programs. Signs about the availability of financial assistance programs at the hospital are translated into Spanish and Russian as Spanish and Russian are primarily spoken by more than 1000 residents or 1% of the residents in the hospital's service area. Signs are large enough to be clearly visible. Hospital signs are 8.5 x 11 inches and the header print font is 24 pts. Notice of availability of Financial Assistance Programs are posted in the following locations; inpatient, clinic, emergency department admissions and/or registration areas, central admission/registration area, patient financial counselor areas and business office areas that are open to patients.
Part VI, Line 4:Baystate Franklin Medical Center (BFMC) is a 89-bed acute-care community hospital. Our top priority is giving Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region the clinical excellence, advanced technology, neighborly warmth and convenience of a community hospital. Hospital specialties provided include inpatient behavioral health, cancer care, cardiology, children's medicine, critical care, emergency medicine, endocrinology and diabetes, gastroenterology, infectious disease, maternal fetal medicine, midwifery, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, plastic surgery, pulmonary medicine, senior care, surgery, thoracic surgery, urology and women's health.The service area for Baystate Franklin includes the 26 communities in Franklin County, as well as the Town of Athol, which is located in Worcester County. The region is fairly rural, and borders the state of Vermont to the north. The total population of the service area is just over 80,000. There is a mix of rural and urban populations as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Urban areas consist of census tracts and/or blocks that meets the minimum population density requirement (2,500-49,999 for urban clusters and over 50,000 for urbanized areas) or is adjacent and meet additional criteria. The main population centers in the service area include Greenfield (a city of about 17,000 people), and the North Quabbin region(population of about 18,000) located approximately 20 miles to the east of Greenfield. Many communities in the area are nestled among hilly, forested terrain, and have populations under 2,000. The median age in this service area is higher than the state's at 45 years old (ACS, 2010-2014). Less than six percent of the population identifies as either Black or African American, Asian, American Indian or some other race. Those who identify as Hispanic and Latino population comprise 4% of the total population. Economic indicators vary somewhat between the two population centers in the Baystate Franklin service area. The median household income in Franklin County is just over $54,000 ($13,000 less than the state). The overall poverty rate in Franklin County is similar to that of the state at 12%, and the child poverty rate of 16% is slightly higher than that of the state (ACS, 2010-2014). Athol is more economically depressed, with an overall poverty rate of 17% and a child poverty rate of 28%, almost double the state rate of 15%. Approximately 92% of adults over the age of 25 hold a high school diploma and over 34% hold a bachelor's degree or higher. In Athol, these numbers are lower at 85% and 15% respectively.The Franklin County unemployment rate of 4.4% was comparable to the state's rate of 4.9% (CC, U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics). The unemployment rate is based on the number of people who are either working or actively seeking work. Major employers in the region include the health care and social assistance industry, as well as the education, retail and manufacturing industries.The area is served by a regional transit (bus) system that connects population and employment centers within the region. Paratransit service is also available for people with disabilities within 3/4 mile of a fixed route to facilitate access to medical care. Daily train service provides access to larger cities to the south, such as Springfield and Hartford.
Part VI, Line 5:The hospital facility has a responsibility to respond to health care needs unsupported by government programs. In exchange for this responsibility, the hospital qualifies for tax-exempt status under 501(c)(3). However, providing hospital care alone is not enough to qualify for tax-exempt status. Hospitals also must operate in the public interest and provide programs that benefit the community.
