SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B; QUESTION 11	Sacred heart hospital has prepared and adopted a written implementation plan to address the significant needs outlined in the community health needs assessment. Unmet healthcare needs that were identified include: housing conditions, nutrition and food, social associations and childhood obesity, smoking and prevention activities for womens health. The priority unmet needs in the implementation plan are integral to the community benefit strategy. The hospitals strategies for meeting these needs are described in the implementation plan. Sacred hearts leaders continue to monitor new program developments and services. Some needs cannot be addressed fully by the hospital alone, such as the housing issue. Whereas the hospital cannot be solely responsible for addressing these issues, it can take advantage of opportunities to play a stronger and better role in monitoring these activities and communicating with the appropriate agencies.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LINE G, THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO, CALCULATED BY USING WORKSHEET 2, WAS APPLIED. FOR LINE G - THE ACTUAL DEPARTMENTAL COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS APPLIED.
SCHEDULE H, PART I; LINE 7G	ALL OF LINE 7G IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CLINICS AND OTHER SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS CONSTITUTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THIS ORGANIZATION IMPROVE THE MEDICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES IN SACRED HEART HOSPITALS CARE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THE PARISH NURSING/COMMUNITY OUTREACH DEPARTMENT IS IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITY FAITH AND OUTREACH SITES DAILY PROMOTING AND ACCESSING HEALTHCARE AND PROVIDING RESOURCES IN COLLABORATION WITH EACH CLIENT WHO CREATES THEIR SELF-DETERMINED HEALTHCARE GOALS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS, AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES, AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; QUESTIONS 2, 3 & 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE ORGANIZATIONS BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. SACRED HEART HOSPITAL IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THE SACRED HEART HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND AFFILIATES; A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"). SACRED HEART HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM. Patients accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. Accounts are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible based upon managements assessment of individual accounts. In evaluating the collectability of patient accounts receivable, the System analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each of its major payor sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the System analyzes contractual amounts due and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts, if necessary. For receivables associated with self-pay patients, the System records a significant provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible. The System adjusts self-pay account balances that do not qualify for Medicaid or charity care to 25% of charges. The difference between the billed rates and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Systems allowance for doubtful accounts for self-pay patients was 87% and 86% of self-pay accounts receivable at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, the Systems self-pay account write-offs (net of recoveries) increased to approximately $7,270,000 in 2017 from approximately $7,134,000 in 2016. There were no changes to the financial assistance policy during 2017. The System does not maintain a material allowance for doubtful accounts from third-party payors, nor did it have significant write-offs from third-party payors.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2017 MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990,SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERI
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 9B	AFTER AN ASSESSMENT OF MEDICAL NECESSITY IS COMPLETED AND FINANCIAL ABILITY IS DETERMINED, SHH MAY PROVIDE FREE CARE TO PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THIS POLICY. SHH WILL FOLLOW STANDARD PROCEDURES IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND IN COLLECTING ON DELINQUENT PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS FOLLOWS: ANY PATIENT SEEKING URGENT OR EMERGENT CARE (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1867 OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT) AT SHH SHALL BE TREATED WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION AND WITHOUT REGARD TO A PATIENTS ABILITY TO PAY FOR CARE. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES IS AVAILABLE BASED ON THE PATIENTS FAMILY INCOME. FREE CARE WILL BE GRANTED TO THOSE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME IS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 200% OF THE MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES (FPG). PATIENTS MAY ALSO BE GRANTED A DISCOUNT BASED UPON MEDICAL INDIGENCE. A DETERMINATION AS TO A PATIENTS MEDICAL INDIGENCE TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL BILLS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE, IN ADDITION TO THE PATIENTS INCOME LEVEL AND LIQUID ASSETS. COLLECTIONS GUIDELINES SHALL APPLY TO HOSPITAL BILLS FOR PATIENTS DEEMED INELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON THEIR INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	SACRED HEART HOSPITAL, IN CONJUNCTION WITH FOUR OTHER REGIONAL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND A LOCAL TRUST, COLLABORATED ON A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND ACTION PLAN. INTERNALLY, SACRED HEART HOSPITAL HAS CREATED A COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF THAT WILL ADMINISTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACTION PLAN. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS COLLABORATION IS TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT WILL FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 9007 OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. JUST AS IMPORTANTLY AND IN THE SPIRIT OF THIS ACT, THE GROUPS FINDINGS WILL SERVE AS A VEHICLE TO PROMOTE BETTER COOPERATION AMONG ITS MEMBERS AND OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHILE CREATING A PLAN OF ACTION THAT WILL ALLOW US TO BETTER SERVE THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE REGION. THE INITIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED IN 2013. A SECOND COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED IN 2016. THE SECOND COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS MADE AVAILABLE IN JANUARY 2016, WITH AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN DEVELOPED IN THE EARLY SPRING OF 2016. ALL DOCUMENTS WERE ACCEPTED AND APPROVED BY THE SACRED HEART HOSPITAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN APRIL 2016.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3	ON EACH OF THE BILLING STATEMENTS IT STATES: "SACRED HEART HOSPITAL PROVIDES FREE CARE TO PERSONS WHO QUALIFY. IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF YOUR CARE, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR FREE CARE BY CALLING 610-776-4566". IF THE PATIENT CALLS IN, THE HOSPITAL HELPS SCREEN THEM FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE ("MA") ELIGIBILITY AND REFER TO "ADREIMA" (ADVANCED REIMBURSEMENT MANAGEMENT TO DO AN MA APPLICATION IF APPROPRIATE) OR TO PHAN (PENNSYLVANIA HEALTH ACCESS NETWORK). IF THE PATIENT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR MA, THE HOSPITAL REQUESTS THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY. FOR THE PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MA OR CHARITY, THE HOSPITAL OFFERS A 75% SELF PAY REDUCTION FROM GROSS CHARGES AND/OR A PAYMENT PLAN. IN ADDITION TO THE STATEMENTS, THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED IN ADMISSION PACKETS, AT REGISTRATION, IN THE EMERGENCY FACILITY, ON ALL BILLS, AND ON THE HOSPITALS WEB SITE.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4	SACRED HEART HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN THE LOWEST PER CAPITA INCOME ZIP CODE IN ALLENTOWN, PA. OVER 57% OF THE POPULATION OF ALLENTOWN IS MINORITY, IN THE SCHOOLS IT IS MORE LIKE 87% MINORITY. ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS 87% OF ITS STUDENTS RECEIVING FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH, AN INDICATOR OF POVERTY. MANY CHILDREN IN ALLENTOWN ARE INSURED BY PA-CHIP OR HAVE NO INSURANCE BECAUSE THEY MAY BE ILLEGALLY IN THE UNITED STATES WITH THEIR FAMILIES. A TOTAL OF 81% OF INPATIENTS HAVE EITHER GOVERNMENT PAID INSURANCE (MEDICARE/MEDICAID, MA MANAGED CARE) OR ARE SELF-PAY; OF OUTPATIENT CARE, 73% IS PAID BY GOVERNMENT INSURANCE OR SELF-PAY.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 5	THE EXAMPLES LISTED IN THE HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT HELP BUILD OUR COMMUNITY BY IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF CHILDREN, IMPROVING IMMUNIZATION RATES, AND PROVIDING CARE FOR CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT (ASTHMA, DIABETES, OBESITY). PARISH NURSING PROVIDES NEEDED ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE MOST INDIGENT OF ALLENTOWN, INCLUDING THE HOMELESS AND UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUALS. THE HOSPITAL OPERATES CONSISTENTLY WITH THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA OUTLINED IN IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545. 1. PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, SELF-PAY, MEDICARE, AND MEDICAID PATIENTS. 2. OPERATES AN ACTIVE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR ALL PERSONS; WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS PER YEAR. 3. MAINTAINS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, WITH PRIVILEGES AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. 4. CONTROL RESTS WITH ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SACRED HEART HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
