FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH STATUS, BEHAVIORS AND NEEDS OF THE POPULATIONS THEY SERVE, MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SCOTT REACHED OUT TO COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, SOUTHEAST KANSAS MULTI-COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT PUBLIC NURSES, THE VULNERABLE AND THE UNDERSERVED TO COLLABORATE ON A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS INVOLVED REVIEW OF BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA IN ORDER TO PLAN AND ACT UPON PRIORITY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE OF BOURBON COUNTY, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN POVERTY AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, WERE CENTRAL TO THE HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SCOTT GATHERED COMMUNITY INPUT THROUGH A FOCUS GROUP LOCATED IN FORT SCOTT CITY HALL. THERE WAS REPRESENTATION OF THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AND LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS. COMMUNITY PARTNERS ATTENDING AND ADVOCATING ON THEIR CLIENTS BEHALF CONSISTED OF PUBLIC HEALTH, LOCAL FOOD PANTRY, LOCAL COALITION, MENTAL HEALTH, SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND MEDICAID CASE MANAGERS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. EACH MEMBER OF THE GROUP PROVIDED MEANINGFUL AND REFLECTIVE INFORMATION. THIRTEEN INDIVIDUALS IN THE BOURBON COUNTY AREA EXPRESSED INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN THE FOCUS GROUP. ALL 13 OF THE INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS WERE ELIGIBLE. OF THE INTERESTED PEOPLE; THREE WERE MEN AND 10 WERE WOMEN; 1 WAS A YOUNG ADULT (26-36 YEARS OLD), NINE WERE MIDDLE AGED ADULTS (37-64 YEARS OLD), THREE WERE OLDER ADULTS (65-84 YEARS OLD); FIVE HAD PRIVATE INSURANCE COVERAGE, ONE HAD MEDICAID COVERAGE, TWO HAD MEDICARE COVERAGE, ONE HAD BOTH MEDICAID AND MEDICARE COVERAGE, ONE HAD BOTH MEDICARE AND PRIVATE COVERAGE, THREE HAD NO INSURANCE COVERAGE; AND TWO HAD SOUGHT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN THE PAST YEAR. A TOTAL OF 7 PARTICIPANTS SHOWED FOR THE FOCUS GROUP, ALL WHITE, SIX FEMALES, ONE MALE, FOUR WITH PRIVATE INSURANCE, TWO WITH MEDICARE COVERAGE AND ONE THAT WAS UNINSURED IN ATTENDANCE. SUFFICIENT REPRESENTATION OF MEDICAID, LOW INCOME, AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WERE REPRESENTED. EVERY ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO HAVE AT LEAST 2 MEN IN ATTENDANCE. ONE GENTLEMAN HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY AND ANOTHER WAS SICK ON THE DAY OF THE FOCUS GROUP MEETING. IN ORDER TO ALIGN OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS WITH MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SCOTTS STRATEGIC PLAN AND MISSION, A HOSPITAL LEVEL FOCUS GROUP WAS CONDUCTED. HOSPITAL, CLINIC, HEALTH FOR LIFE, HOME HEALTH, HOSPICE, AND PHARMACY LEADERSHIP PARTICIPATED AND PROVIDED FEEDBACK. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA WERE PRESENTED. THE GROUP WAS TASKED TO PRIORITIZE THE HEALTH INDICATORS BASED ON LEVEL OF COMMUNITY CONCERN AND POTENTIAL TO COLLABORATE AROUND THE HEALTH ISSUE. FOR THIS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WE DID NOT SOLICIT WRITTEN COMMENTS. WE DID NOT HAVE A PROCESS YET IN PLACE. SINCE THE COMPLETION OF THE CHNA, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROCESS FOR SOLICITING WRITTEN COMMENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY IN THE FORM OF A PERCEPTION SURVEY. THIS PERCEPTION SURVEY WILL BE UTILIZED TO EVALUATE THE PROGRESS OF OUR CURRENT CHIP AND WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR THE UPCOMING CHNA.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SCOTT IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT CHNA THROUGH SYSTEMS, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND POLICY CHANGE IN THE PLACES WHERE OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME. OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS THAT WILL HAVE THE LARGEST IMPACT. "THE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE WE LIVE, LEARN, WORK, AND PLAY AFFECT ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WHICH, ALONG WITH GENETIC FACTORS AND PERSONAL CHOICES, SHAPE HEALTH AND RISK OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY" (INSTITUTE, 2016). THE HEALTH NEEDS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES ARE: DIABETES, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, & LUNG DISEASE. OTHER IDENTIFIED NEEDS NOT BEING ADDRESSED AND WHY NOT: MENTAL ILLNESS MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SCOTT ACKNOWLEDGES THE NEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THIS NEED IN THE HEALTHCARE SETTING. WE HAVE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND COUNSELORS WHO ARE ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS NEED IN THE COMMUNITY SETTING. THE LOCAL SOUTHEAST KANSAS MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY IS GOVERNMENT-FUNDED, ACCEPTS MEDICAID, AND HAS A SLIDING SCALE FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED OR LIVING IN POVERTY. MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH OUR MOTHER AND INFANTS PROGRAM BRING A MUCH NEEDED SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY TO ENSURE EXPECTING MOTHERS RECEIVE QUALITY PRENATAL CARE, EDUCATION, AND SUPPORT. THE PROGRAM TARGETS THE VULNERABLE AND UNDERSERVED. SECONDARY DATA INDICATE OUR COMMUNITY HAS A LOWER RATE OF WOMEN RECEIVING INADEQUATE PRENATAL CARE WHEN COMPARED TO STATE AND NATIONAL PERCENTAGES. MERCY WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS ISSUES THROUGH COLLABORATIVE WORK REGARDING TEENAGE PREGNANCY BUT THERE ARE LIMITATIONS AS A CATHOLIC HEALTH SYSTEM AND MERCY WILL NOT TAKE A LEAD ROLE ON THIS ISSUE. CANCER: CURRENTLY, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE ADDRESSING THIS INDICATOR. MERCY WILL CONTINUE OUR COLLABORATION WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS CONTINUE INTERNAL EFFORTS THROUGH HOME HEALTH AND PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAMS. MERCY HOSPITAL FORT SCOTT LEADERS FELT OUR CONTINUED INVOLVEMENT WAS IMPORTANT BUT THE ISSUES OF DIABETES, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND LUNG DISEASE DEMANDED MORE OF OUR FOCUS AT THIS TIME. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINES 16A, 16B, & 16C A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS AVAILABLE AT https://www.mercy.net/mercy-financial-assistance.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22	ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR INCOME ARE THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS. FOR EXAMPLE, INDIVIDUALS WITH INCOMES BELOW 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE CARE. INDIVIDUALS WITH INCOMES GREATER THAN 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR CARE AT DISCOUNTED RATES DEPENDING ON THEIR INCOME LEVEL AND/OR THE AMOUNT DUE TO THE HOSPITAL. TO DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNTS THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS FOR EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE, THE HOSPITAL FACILITY USES AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE INSURANCE COVERING SUCH CARE. THE HOSPITAL USES A LOOK BACK METHOD THAT CONSIDERS DISCOUNTS ALLOWED TO MEDICARE AND ALL PRIVATE HEALTH INSURERS. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AFTER APPROPRIATE DISCOUNTS HAVE BEEN APPLIED, ARRANGEMENTS MAY BE MADE FOR AN INTEREST-FREE MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN. GENERALLY, NO PATIENT'S FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE GREATER THAN 20% OF ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME. IT IS OUR GOAL TO WORK WITH OUR PATIENTS ON THEIR REMAINING LIABILITY.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3	THE FILING ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $0. ALTHOUGH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUIRES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PATIENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE A PROCESS UNDER PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHARITY POLICY IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ALMOST ALL PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE.

THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES."
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8	IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY THAT 100% OF ANY SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.

IN THE EVENT AN ACCOUNT IS TURNED TO COLLECTIONS, AND IS IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGES, OR NOW REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED BY THE AGENCY AND CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY IF THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO RETURN THE INFORMATION, THE ACCOUNT WILL QUALIFY FOR COLLECTIONS. MERCY UTILIZES THE EXPERIAN TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY QUALIFICATION PRIOR TO TURNING TO BAD DEBT; KNOWN AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY. MERCY WILL GRANT CHARITY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION WHEN A PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, MERCY UTILIZES THE SAME TOOL TO QUALIFY ACCOUNTS PER THE PRACTICE OF PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT FOR BALANCES IN EXCESS OF $6,500.
