Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
PART I, LINE 7:	COSTING METHODOLOGY USED ON LINE 7 IS THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIES FOR NEUROSURGICAL SERVICES, EMERGENCY ROOM, AND DIABETIC EDUCATION ARE REPORTED AS PART OF THE SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERVICED BY RUSH FOUNDATION HOSPITAL HAS ONLY 2 NEUROSURGEONS TO HANDLE ALL TRAUMA AND OTHER NEURO ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS. THESE 2 NEUROSURGEONS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PRACTICE AND SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY WITHOUT SUBSIDIES. SO IN ORDER TO BETTER THE HEALTH OF OUR SURROUNDING AREA RUSH PROVIDES SUBSIDY TO THEIR PRACTICE.
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 $ 4,942,775.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	ALL ACTIVITIES ENGAGED IN BY RUSH FOUNDATION HOSPITAL ARE GEARED TOWARD PROMOTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE WELLBEING OF THE CITIZENS OF OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. RUSH PROMOTES HEALTH EDUCATION THROUGH SUPPORT OF ITS COMMUNITY BASED NURSING AND ALLIED HEALTH PROGRAMS AS WELL AS COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION AND TRAINING SESSIONS. NUMEROUS VOLUNTEER HOURS ARE SPENT WITH ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER PROGRAM, PHYSICALS FOR SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN AND HEALTH FAIRS. RUSH ALSO SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY BY ENSURING THE PROVISION OF NEEDED SPECIALTY CARE SUCH AS NEURO SURGERY AND EMERGENCY MEDICINE.
PART III, LINE 4:	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REFLECTED AS AMOUNT OF CHARGES ACTUALLY WRITTEN OFF. PER NOTE 1 OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REPORTED AT ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE VALUE AFTER DEDUCTION OF ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS BASED ON HISTORICAL LOSSES AND AN ANALYSIS OF CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING AMOUNTS FOR ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTABLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE HOSPITAL 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 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES TO MEDICARE PATIENTS, AS EVIDENCED ON LINE 7, SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDS REVENUE. THIS COST PROVIDES A NECESSARY HEALTH BENEFIT TO THE ELDERLY POPULATION IN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 9B:	THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAT ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITAL MAY UTILIZE OUTSIDE AGENCIES AS APPROPRIATE TO ASSIST IN DETERMINING ACCOUNTS THAT QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE. ANY ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE CHARITY BASED ON AN AGENCY'S RECOMMENDATION ARE REPORTED AS CHARITY CARE AND REVENUE REDUCED BY THIS AMOUNT AS OPPOSED TO BEING REPORTED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART VI, LINE 2:	OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS ARE HIRED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT PERIODICALLY.THE CHNA FOR RUSH FOUNDATION HOSPITAL CAN BE ACCESSED VIA THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE AT: HTTP://WWW.RUSHHEALTHSYSTEMS.ORG/RFH/ASSETS/FILE/RUSHCHNA.PDFTHE CHNA FOR HC WATKINS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CAN BE ACCESSED VIA THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE AT:HTTP://WWW.WATKINSMEMORIALHOSPITAL.COM/HCWMH/INDEX.CFM/LINKSERVID/11A3220F-155D-0204-93D5380114AD0331/SHOWMETA/0/
PART VI, LINE 3:	PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED AN APPLICATION FOR CHARITY CARE AND A CRITERIA FOR CHARITY CARE CHECKLIST AS CLOSE TO POINT OF SERVICE AS POSSIBLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITAL UTILIZES AN OUTSIDE ELIGIBILITY COMPANY THAT REVIEWS ALL NO INSURANCE PATIENTS FOR POTENTIAL QUALIFICATION FOR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAID.
PART VI, LINE 4:	RUSH FOUNDATION HOSPITAL IS A MAJOR COMMUNITY -BASED ACUTE-CARE MEDICAL CENTER THAT SERVES INPATIENTS AND OUTPATIENTS, IN THE EAST MISSISSIPPI AND WEST ALABAMA AREA. RFH'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA EXTENDS TO COMMUNITES IN OVER A 70-MILE RADIUS OF MERIDIAN, MS. MERIDIAN SERVES AS A HEALTHCARE HUB FOR THE MANY SURROUNDING COUNTIES WITH THREE ACUTE-CARE HOSPITALS BASED IN ITS CITY LIMITS. THESE FACILITES SERVE AS THE PRIMARY HEALTHCARE OF THE VERY NEEDY AREAS OF EAST MISSISSIPPI AND WEST ALABAMA WITH ONLY A FEW SMALL, PRIMARILY CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS IN THE OUTLYING VICINITIES. OF THE COUNTIES SERVED, THE FOLLOWING ARE COUNTIES IDENTIFIED BY HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION OF THE US DEPT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AS HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS: CHOCTAW AND SUMTER COUNTIES IN ALABAMA; CLARKE, KEMPER, LAUDERDALE, NESHOBA, NEWTON AND SCOTT COUNTIES IN MISSISSIPPI.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY CAN BE FOUND IN THE CHNA.

PART VI, LINE 5:	ALL MEMBERS OF RUSH FOUNDATION HOSPITAL'S BOARD RESIDE IN RFH'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THE ORGANIZATION HAS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF EXTENDING PRIVILEGES TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS AND NON-PHYSICIAN PRACTITIONERS THAT APPLY FOR PRIVILEGES AND MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS OF CREDENTIALING AND THE MEDICAL STAFF RULES AND REGS AND BY-LAWS. THE FACILITY UTILIZES SURPLUS FUNDS FOR ADDITIONAL MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, RECRUITMENT OF MEDICAL STAFF THAT IS OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE (I.E. NEUROSURGERY, MIDWIFERY, ETC.), FUNDING OF LOCAL AREA HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE TRAINING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
PART VI, LINE 6:	RUSH FOUNDATION HOSPITAL IS WHOLLY OWNED BY RUSH HEALTH SYSTEMS, A NON-PROFIT ORGAINIZATION. WITHIN RUSH HEALTH SYSTEMS ARE THE SPECIALTY HOSPITAL OF MERIDIAN (A LONG TERM ACUTE CARE FACILITY), LAIRD HOSPITAL (A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL, HC WATKINS HOSPITAL (A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL), SCOTT HOSPITAL (A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL), MEDICAL FOUNDATION INC.
