Bronson Methodist HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 5: Bronson Methodist Hospital took into account input from persons who represented the community using three methods; focus groups, surveys, and key informant interviews. Five demographic-specific focus groups were conducted with seniors, low income families, women, youth, and African Americans/Blacks to gain a deeper insight into community health needs among vulnerable populations. A community wide survey seeking input from community members pertaining to health needs and barriers was conducted April 22, 2013 to June 19, 2013. The survey was available in both on-line and written form and was widely promoted and available throughout the community. Focused efforts were undertaken to increase participation by vulnerable populations. As a result, 1159 completed surveys were received and analyzed. In addition, 16 key informant interviews were conducted assessing stakeholder perceptions of the countys health status and unmet needs. These key informants included persons representing broad interests of the community and knowledge and expertise of public health. Key informants included: -Mary Gustus, Executive Director Comstock Community Center-Fran Denny, Executive Director Catholic Charities-Rick Stravers, Executive Director Open Doors-Carla Campbell Jackson, Vice President Kalamazoo Chapter NAACP-Janice Brown, Executive Director Kalamazoo Promise-Bobby Hopewell, Kalamazoo Mayor-Erika Lee, Next Door Shelter manager-Ann Crabb, Psychiatrist DeLano Outpatient Center/Borgess Mental Health-Kathy Roberts, Continuum of Care Director Local Initiatives Support Corporation-Linda Vail, Director Kalamazoo County Health & Community Services-Angela Anderson, Community Educator and NAC Coordinator Healthy Babies Healthy start-3 homeless women (names not provided at request of interviewee)-Homeless man (name not provided at request of interviewee)-Community Service User (name not provided at request of interviewee)
Bronson Methodist HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 11: The CHNA process included a prioritization of health needs based upon consensus criteria, including: magnitude of need, measurable outcomes, Bronson capabilities, evidence for effective interventions, community commitment, and consistency with Bronson Strategy. At the conclusion of this prioritization process, improving access to care was selected as the focus for Community Health activities in 2014-2016. This focused effort will require substantial financial and staffing resources as well as significant collaborations with community organizations. Given the extraordinary challenge of substantially and measurably improving access to care in an environment of limited resources, Bronson leaders and Community Health Board Committee members have chosen to limit our initial focus to this top priority health need. Other needs identified include obesity, lack of mental health support, chronic disease management, addiction prevention, oral health improvement, cancer screening, and infant mortality and STD rates. While these health needs were not selected as focus areas, Bronson anticipates that improving access to quality care will impact and improve outcomes for many of the other needs identified in the CHNA. The Access of Care Plan is attached to the 990 for reference of areas not being addressed at this time.
Bronson Methodist HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 20e: The hospital acknowledges that all individuals are not equally capable of paying for healthcare services, either by themselves or through a third party insurance carrier. The hospital recognizes its responsibility to offer care for persons in need, and therefore provides and promotes access to emergency or medically necessary services without regard to ability to pay.The hospital has signs at entrances to the emergency department that inform patients of the financial assistance policy as well as the admitting and financial counseling departments. The policy is also on the hospital's website (www.bronsonhealth.com). The plain language summary is included on all patient statements.Patients may request an application to determine if they qualify for financial assistance by calling a patient financial counselor or Bronson's billing department. The application is also available on the hospital's website (www.bronsonhealth.com).

Part I, Line 7:(A-C)- Costing methodology is a cost to charge ratio as defined by the IRS instructions for lines A-C.Part I, Line 7: (E-I)- Costing methodology is actual costs per the hospital accounting system for lines E-I.
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 $ 23,455,417.
Part II, Community Building Activities:Bronson Methodist Hospitals community building activities generally fall within one of the three Areas: Community Support, Coalition Building, or Community Health Improvement. In Community Support, Bronson supported early childhood literacy by providing the families of every newborn a book to promote reading; by training area clergy in pastoral care for ill and end-of-life patients; by staffing the County Safe Kids Coalition and by offering health-related educational seminars throughout the community. Bronsons Coalition Building activities include supporting a youth resident reading program at the Kalamazoo County Juvenile Home. Community Health Improvement has primarily involved patient advocacy through case management. In addition, Bronson financially supports the County Medical Control Authority and sits on the West Michigan Cancer Center Institutional Review Board evaluating cancer research protocols involving patients.Bronson Methodist Hospital (and the other hospitals that are part of the Bronson Healthcare Group) conducted an extensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in 2013. Please refer to Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Community Health Needs Assessment, along with Schedule H, Part V, Section C Supplemental Information, for a full description of the CHNA. The CHNA process included a prioritization of health needs based upon consensus criteria, including: magnitude of need, measurable outcomes, Bronson capabilities, evidence for effective interventions, community commitment, and consistency with Bronson Strategy. At the conclusion of this prioritization process, improving access to care was selected as the focus for Community Health activities in 2014-2016.
Part III, Line 2:Uncollectible amounts are writen off against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. Bad debt expense is disclosed based on gross charges.
Part III, Line 3:Bad debt writeoffs support the community by providing a portion of services without payment. The amount of bad debt expenses attributable to patients eligible under the financial assistance policy was estimated by reviewing the bad debt detail for a specific write-off code.
Part III, Line 4:An allowance for contractual adjustments and interim payment advances is based on expected payment rates from payors based on on current reimburesment methodologies. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable, the hospital 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. Management regularly reviews data related to 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 and allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts, if necessary. 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 in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. This can be found in the attached Audited financial statements on page 7 under Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies for Accounts Receivable.
Part III, Line 8:Costing methodology is a cost to charge ratio as defined by the IRS 990 instructions. Shortfall should be considered a community benefit due to its representation of cost of a portion of services provided to the community without payment.Part III, Line 7: Bronson Methodist Hospital experiences additional community benefit expense of $67,439,521 and direct offsetting revenue of $56,822,903 for a net community benefit of $10,616,618 related to services provided to Medicare Advantage insureds.
Part III, Line 9b:The policy requires the collection agency be notified and activity suspended when a request for financial assistance is made and a patient submits an application on a previously listed account. If a patient qualifies for full financial assistance, the account is returned to Bronson from the agency and any initiated ECA is reversed. If the patient qualifies for partial financial assistance, a determination is sent to the agency indicating the new balance and any initiated ECA is reversed. If the patient does not provide complete application information or is determined to be ineligible, a denial letter is issued and the agency resumes collection activity.
Part VI, Line 2:Bronson Methodist Hospital utilizes a strategic management model to develop both a long term (3 year) and annual strategic plan. Inputs into the plan are documented in our strategic input document. One of the important inputs into this plan is the health of our community. Several sources are utilized to perform this assessment. The sources for the latest strategic input document are listed below.Statistical sources for determining community health needs included:- U. S. Census Bureau American Community Survey- Michigan Inpatient Database- Michigan Resident Inpatient Files, Division for Vital Records and Health Statistics- U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy- Michigan Campaign to End Homelessness- 2012 County Health Rankings- Michigan Department of Community Health- Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, Epidemiology Counts for Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2010 Geocoded Michigan Death Registry, Michigan Resident Birth File, Reportable Infectious Diseases, Survey of Physcians- Kalamazoo Department of Community Health, Kalamazoo Behavioral Risk Factor Survey- Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System- Michigan Department of Education, The Michigan Profile for Healthy YouthIn addition, a community specific survey was developed and deployed to collect real-time data and allow for input from the community on issues related to health. Key informant interviews were conducted with leaders, community members, and representatives of organizations servicing vulnerable and minority populations. Focus groups were held with demographic-specific populations, particularly the vulnerable, in an effort to gain deeper insight into community health needs. These included seniors, families with low income, at-risk youth, and minorities.The community assessment is shared with the board every three years using our community leadership model as shown below. Three year priorities are then set for our community health.Bronson Methodist Hospital also collaborates with two key community agencies for the gathering of health statistics: The United Way of Battle Creek and Kalamazoo and the Kalamazoo County Health and Human Services. In addition, Bronson has been a leader in the following community health collaboratives: Healthy futures, immunize-by-two, healthy baby/healthy start, ready to read, african-american health initiative, youth violence coalition, health connect and emergency prescription program.
Part VI, Line 3:The financial assistance policy is posted on the hospital's website, and is available in the emergency room, the admitting department, the patient financial counseling office, and the hospital's website (www.bronsonhealth.com). The plain language summary is also included in the patient's discharge documents, on patient statements and the hospital's website. Both the policy and the plain language summary are available upon request.
Part VI, Line 4:Bronson Methodist Hospital serves a nine county region in Southwest Michigan. About 65% of patients served come from within Kalamazoo County and the other 34% come from the regional counties of: Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Branch, Cass, Van Buren, Calhoun, Eaton and St. Joseph.

Part VI, Line 5:Bronson Methodist Hospital (BMH) is a community-owned and governed not-for-profit hospital with 434 licensed beds and an open medical staff. It is governed by the Bronson Healthcare Group Board comprised of 21 members of the community. Founded in 1900, BMH has as one of its five core values, commitment to our community and has historically demonstrated this value by continuing to deliver the full continuum of needed medical services and working within community collaboratives to address community needs. BMH provides a disproportionate amount of care to the segment of the population using Medicaid. We are the largest Medicaid provider of any large hospital in Michigan outside of the Detroit area (on a percentage basis). In 2015, approximately 20% of BMHs patients were Medicaid recipients. We have three Medicaid enrollers on site to help those without insurance enroll in Medicaid, or refer them to community resourcesMuch of BMHs service to the community is directed at womens and childrens needs. Bronson is the only childrens hospital in southwest Michigan and, therefore, the sole provider of inpatient pediatrics including pediatric intensive care and neonatal intensive care. In fact, over half the patients in the Childrens Hospital are Medicaid recipients. As a regional perinatal center, BMH is also the regional destination for high-risk pregnancy care. BMH's Level I Trauma Center and burn center, along with advanced capabilities in neurovascular and cardiovascular care, serve all patient populations regardless of ability to pay.Service to communityIn recent years, BMH collaboratives have included Healthy Futures (broad community initiative to address health and economic issues), Healthy Baby/ Healthy Start (reduce infant mortality), Immunize-by-Two, Health Connect (provide community-wide primary care access) and the African-American Health Initiative (health promotion and screening program offered through Kalamazoos African-American Faith Community).In 2013, BMH documented in excess of 5,600 events in providing community benefit activities with a net value of approximately $83,000,000 in community benefit activities. Addressing disparitiesBMH is located in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan and is the city's largest employer. BMH opened a new, replacement hospital in December of 2000 across the street from its previous facility. This location was chosen because of another of Bronson's core values, care and respect for all people. BMH is located where persons most in need can utilize our services and access us through public transportation. The alignment of our Mission, Vision and Values creates an environment where all persons are welcome and patients are treated regardless of their ability to pay. For example, Bronson's Trauma and Emergency Department sees more than 98,000 patient visits per year. In addition, BMHs outreach services with the federally qualified Family Health Center provide for an improved continuum of care for patients who are on Medicaid or are under-insured.Community Health StatusBMH collaborates with two key community partners for the gathering of health statistics: the Greater Kalamazoo United Way and Kalamazoo County Health and Human Services. These two organizations, along with BMH, the Family Health Center regularly discuss health needs and emerging health trends. This collaborative, an off-shoot of Healthy Futures, monitors Kalamazoo Countys performance against Healthy People 2010 goals. It was these community health indicators that initiated Healthy Baby/Healthy Start, Immunize-by-Two and the African-American Health Initiative.Collaboration with Community StakeholdersAs previously mentioned, BMH seeks community collaborators and stakeholders as partners in meeting community health needs. Towards this end, BMH administrators serve on several community boards including: The Family Health Center, United Way, Salvation Army, Ministry with Community, neighborhood associations, Greater Kalamazoo United Way, Family and Childrens services, Hospice Care of Southwest Michigan, Douglas Community Association and the Safe Kids collaborative, which BMH staffs. BMH has a three-prong approach for community leadership focusing on community health, community service and economic development.Community Health Initiatives:- Improving access to healthcare- Improving overall community health- Citizen-based education and research on health outcomes- Reduce disparities in health outcomes -the recent focus was on childhood safety and prevention and access/screening/education- Collaborate with social service agenciesAn example of improving access: BMH has worked with community agencies to reduce barriers and improve access for underserved populations. The hospital co-funds a graduate medical residency program with nine subspecialties and an ambulatory clinic with 90,000 patient visits annually. In addition, BMH has a leadership role at Kalamazoo's Family Health Center that has 35,000 patient visits each year.Community Service:- Participate on public and not-for-profit committees and boards- Participate in important community issues- Lead disaster/emergency efforts- Provide financial support and sponsorships for arts and human service organizationsAn example of an employee-driven effort reflective of our values, BMH employees donate monies to the United Way, which impacts charities throughout the Greater Kalamazoo Area. In 2015 the Bronson Employees raised $234,178Economic Development:- Support grassroots neighborhood development- Stimulate economic vitality- Invest in educational institutions to ensure access to healthcare curriculum (WMU Bronson School of Nursing)- Commit to local vendors and businessesAn economic development example would be our Bronson Home Ownership Program (BHOP). Since 1998, Bronson has invested approximately $357,525 to help employees purchase homes, downtown, close to the Bronson campus. Our program is a loan, employees start paying us back in year six, at no interest. What is collected is then re-loaned.Thus far, our $357,525 has resulted in approximately $460,000 being loaned to over 55 employees. This is economic development at the neighborhood level.BMH identifies ways to treat the diseases faced by those we serve, and also seek ways to foster an environment in which we can create health and prevention measures. This includes looking at our communities economic issues, such as people without health insurance, and environmental issues, such as clean air and water. BMH has been acknowledged by Practice Greenhealth (formerly Hospitals for a Healthy Environment) awards for 10 years in a row, in recognition of significant progress in reducing waste, preventing pollution and eliminating mercury. BMH also holds the ENERGY STAR label for energy efficiency from the Environmental Protection Agency, and has been named one of Americas top 10 hospitals by the Green Guide publication. Because of this, we also play a significant role in many community organizations that have a broader focus than healthcare.Reporting to the CommunityBMH conducts an annual Community Benefit Inventory to aggregate the non-mission mandated services we provide to the community. This inventory is shared with Bronson stakeholders and reported to the community. Information is also available through bronsonhealth.com. Examples include quality report, nursing outcomes, patient satisfaction data, and links to public reporting websites.
Part VI, Line 6:Bronson Methodist Hospital is part of an affiliated system that includes two other hospitals, Bronson Battle Creek Hospital and Bronson LakeView Hospital. All of these hospitals are controlled by Bronson Healthcare Group, which is a community-owned and governed not-for-profit holding company. The Bronson Healthcare Group (BHG) Board is comprised of 21 members of the community.Each of the three hospitals in the BHG system admits patients regardless of ability to pay and provides outreach services to their respective communities. Bronson Methodist Hospital is the largest of the three hospitals in the BHG system. As such, it has a larger role in providing services and promoting the health of the many communities it serves. The health promotion activities of Bronson Methodist Hospital are described in #5 above. In addition to the three hospitals, the BHG system includes several smaller entities whose effects support the hospitals and their mission of providing excellent healthcare to their communities. These entities include: Bronson Healthcare Group, Bronson Medical Group, Bronson Commons, Bronson Lifestyle Improvement & Research Center, Bronson Health Foundation, Bronson At Home, VBEMS, & Bronson Properties Corporation.
