FACILITY 1, HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 5	SECTION B., COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, LINES 3 AND 5 HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL (HSH) ENGAGED IN A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) PROCESS THAT INVOLVED QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA COLLECTION FROM A WIDE RANGE OF POPULATIONS, INCLUDING DIFFERENT AGES, INCOMES, HEALTH STATUS (INCLUDING RISK FACTORS, UTILIZATION, AND ACCESS), AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS (INCLUDING URBAN, SUBURBAN, AND RURAL). AFTER DESIGNING SURVEY QUESTIONS AND INSTRUMENTS TO COLLECT PERTINENT INFORMATION FROM DIFFERENT AUDIENCES, THE CHNA TEAM EMPLOYED A VARIETY OF DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUES. (1) COMMUNITY LEADERS WERE INTERVIEWED, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS, EDUCATORS, CITIZEN ADVOCATES, AND ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES FROM LOCAL, COUNTY, AND STATE GOVERNMENTS AND AGENCIES. (2) DATA WAS COLLECTED ON HAND-DISTRIBUTED SURVEYS THAT WERE BROADLY DISTRIBUTED TO RESIDENTS ACROSS THE REGION, INCLUDING AT COMMUNITY CENTERS, HOMELESS SHELTERS, PUBLIC HEALTH CENTERS, FOOD BANKS, FREE CLINICS, SOCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, CAREER AND JOB CENTERS, AND OTHER SETTINGS THAT SERVE POPULATIONS IN NEED. THIS SURVEY WAS AVAILABLE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. (3) HEALTH PROVIDERS WERE SURVEYED TO COLLECT THEIR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS RELATED TO THE CARE AND SERVICES THEY PROVIDE, AS WELL AS THE TOP HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE COMMUNITY. (4) A PUBLIC COMMENTARY SURVEY WAS DEVELOPED TO GATHER INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC REGARDING THE PREVIOUS CHNA REPORT AND ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THIS SURVEY WAS AVAILABLE AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS WITHIN THE HOSPITAL. (5) A COMMUNITY FORUM WAS HELD TO GATHER INPUT FROM COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION LEADERS, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS, AND OTHER KEY CONSTITUENTS. THE CHNA FINDINGS, VARIOUS SURVEY RESULTS, AND SUPPORTING DATA WERE PRESENTED TO OBTAIN FEEDBACK REGARDING THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY OVERALL. (6) SECONDARY DATA FROM SEVERAL RELIABLE SOURCES, INCLUDING COMMUNITY NEEDS INDEX (CNI), PENNSYLVANIA COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020, KIDS COUNT, AND PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF RURAL HEALTH, WAS USED TO PREPARE QUANTITATIVE DATA. EVERY EFFORT WAS UNDERTAKEN TO GATHER AND REPORT DATA CONSISTENT WITH THE CHNA GUIDELINES AND HOLY SPIRIT'S MISSION TO SERVE THOSE IN NEED. INFORMATION FROM THE FINAL SUMMARY REPORT WAS DELIVERED BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO ASSURE BROAD DISTRIBUTION.

HEART, CANCER, AND STROKE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH. HOLY SPIRIT HAS COMMITTED RESOURCES TO THESE SERVICE LINES TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY, AMONG OTHER ITEMS DRIVEN BY DEMOGRAPHICS AND EPIDEMIOLOGY. THE CEO/PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP OF HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL APPOINTED A TEAM OF DIRECTORS TO WORK WITH TRIPP-UMBACH TO PLAN AND CONDUCT THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL. THE HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL CEO/PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH THE APPOINTED HOLY SPIRIT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS/ COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP, REVIEWED ALL FINDINGS OF THE CHNA AND PREPARED A REPORT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADDRESS THE THREE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA. THE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS ARE: 1.ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES - PRIMARY CARE, SPECIALTY CARE, AND DENTAL CARE 2.BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES - MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE 3.HEALTHY LIFESTYLES - LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, INADEQUATE 4.NUTRITION/OBESITY, AND SMOKING CESSATION AND PREVENTION AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, OR ACTION PLAN, WAS DEVELOPED WITH INPUT FROM A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL, AND PRESENTED FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY OUR CEO/PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP.

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 THAT ADDRESSES 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 HSH'S UNCOMPENSATED OR CHARITY CARE POLICIES. HSH ESTIMATES THAT APPROXIMATELY 7% OF THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS ARE SUBSEQUENTLY RECLASSIFIED TO UNCOMPENSATED OR CHARITY CARE. THIS IS PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	PART III, LINES 2 AND 4 GEISINGER HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES (THE "SYSTEM"), THAT INCLUDES HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL (HSH), PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL CHARITABLE AFFILIATES. THE ORGANIZATIONS WRITE OFF ALL ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS UNCOLLECTABLE. AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTABLE ACCOUNTS IS RECORDED FOR ACCOUNTS NOT YET WRITTEN OFF THAT ARE ANTICIPATED TO BECOME UNCOLLECTABLE IN FUTURE PERIODS. FOR THE FOOTNOTES REGARDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES SEE PAGE 7-8 OF THE ATTACHED GEISINGER CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, JUNE 30, 2017 AND JUNE 30, 2016. FOR THE FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT, SEE PAGE 13 OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION	PART III, LINE 3-BAD DEBT: 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 NOT 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. UNDER THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, 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 WHEN 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") HOLDS THE POSITION THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS) AND BAD DEBT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. IN A LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 RESPONDING TO A DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA ARGUES 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 LIKE HSH 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 ALLOWED TO BE REPORTED ON HSH'S MEDICARE COST REPORT THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. HSH CONSIDERS THE TOTAL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) OF 22,873,091 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 HSH TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE SHORTFALL. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY HSH IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. HSH 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 NEEDS BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. THE AMOUNT EXPENDED TO COVER THE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS. BOTH HSH 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 HSH'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 2017, APPROXIMATELY 7% OF HSH'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' SHOULDER 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 6/30/2017, HSH'S COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE FOR SERVICES ACCOUNTED FOR AS BAD DEBT WAS 2,310,366.
PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION	HSH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICAL NECESSARY SERVICES TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND HSH'S COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED TO ALL PATIENTS. IT IS HSH 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 HSH 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 HSH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT	AS PART OF ITS CLINICAL PROGRAM PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS, HSH ASSESSES THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY. HEART, CANCER, AND STROKE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH. HOLY SPIRIT HAS COMMITTED RESOURCES TO THESE SERVICE LINES TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY, AMONG OTHER ITEMS DRIVEN BY DEMOGRAPHICS AND EPIDEMIOLOGY. HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL HAS REGULARLY CONDUCTED PHYSICIAN NEEDS ASSESSMENTS TO IDENTIFY MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SPECIALTIES THAT ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY WITHIN ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. STRONG PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO ASSURE THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS ACCESS TO THESE PHYSICIANS. HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL PARTICIPATED IN A COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WITH THREE OTHER LOCAL HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEMS AND TWO OTHER HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS IN KEEPING WITH IRS GUIDANCE. A THIRD-PARTY CONSULTANT WAS ENGAGED TO OUTLINE THE PROCESS, CONDUCT RESEARCH, AND ENGAGE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. THIS INFORMATION WAS USED AS THE BASIS FOR A FORMAL, REGIONAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT DOCUMENT. SEE PART V OF SCHEDULE H.
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 GEISINGER 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 GEISINGER'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.
