FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	In the most recent CHNA, several Mercy hospitals (Mercy), including Fort Smith, Paris, Ozark, Waldron and Booneville took into account input from persons who represent the broad interests of the community served by the hospital facilities, including those with special knowledge of or expertise in public health. Mercy hosted several round table events in which local public health, behavioral health, and area nonprofit leaders representing health-related services were invited to participate in comprehensive conversations about the community health needs, resource gaps and opportunities to collaborate and improve our communitys health and increase access to services.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	Mercy is addressing the significant needs identified in its most recently conducted CHNA by focusing programming, services and education or awareness around: (1) Concern for basic health of women, children and other marginalized groups, (2) Expansion of cancer care awareness and education, and (3) Collaboration with community health care non-profits and schools to bolster education and service. The first identified need or priority is for the concern for the basic health of women, children and other marginalized groups - (1) looking at obesity rates in the community Mercy is offering healthier options in the caf and to patients and (2) providing a farmers market for our employees and the community to have access to fresh produce and (3) Mercy n Motion provides weekly activities led by Mercy Fitness instructors to 5th and 6th grade students. The second identified need or priority is expansion of cancer care awareness and education. Mercy adopted implementation strategies for (1) Mercy Fort Smith hired an APN Patient Health Navigator to work in the Breast Center to customize educational needs to each patients unique circumstances, (2) Mercy Breast Cancer Committee serves as a governance body for excellence in Breast Center Services and (3) Mercy has expanded their mobile Mammography Van services into Oklahoma to improve access to screening. Mobile Mammography screening coverage will be expanded to churches, non-profits, rural venues and two identified areas of need in Oklahoma. The third identified need or priority is collaboration with community health care non-profits and schools to bolster education and service. (1) Mercy will strengthen their relationship with the Reynolds Cancer Support House (RCSH) through educating our co-workers and the community on the services and classes RCSH offers, (2) Mercy will work on growing that relationship through our Patient Health Navigator by collaborating with the RCSH to improve access to educational services, transportation needs, and preventative or follow-up medical care and (3) Due to the shortage of physicians in the communities Mercy Fort Smith, over the next 5 years, is actively recruiting 150 primary care physicians, mid-level providers and specialty care physicians to meet the needs of our communities. Mercy is also in the process of expanding primary care clinics to help improve continuity of care. Mercy Clinic will grow to 44 primary care providers with the development of new facilities in strategic locations, to include school based clinics in our rural service areas, throughout the community to help manage population health. For all of these identified needs and priorities, Mercy continues to work closely with its local public school systems, nonprofit organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, and public officials to ensure we are collaboratively addressing the needs of our community in a measurable way. Mercy is currently not addressing mental health due to the lack of mental health providers in the communities served.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22	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.

FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART II	A FULL DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.MERCY.NET/COMMUNITY-BENEFITS.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2	TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED WAS BASED ON DETAILED COST ACCOUNT, WHERE AVAILABLE. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS NOT AVAILABLE, COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE UTILIZED.
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 (REFER TO DISCLOSURE FOR PART III, #9B) 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.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4	THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS AS FOLLOWS: "PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTION POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. 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. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER. THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE IS CALCULATED BY THE GROSS CHARGES NET OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO LESS ANY PAYMENTS, DEDUCTIONS OR REIMBURSEMENTS USING THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS FORM 2552-96).
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B	MERCY'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE COMMUNICATION AND/OR REVIEW OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS IT RELATES TO ANY SERVICE PROVIDED AT OUR FACILITIES BEFORE TURNING THE ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT OR TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOR NONPAYMENT. MERCY ACTIVELY SCRUBS ACCOUNTS FOR PAYOR PLAN COVERAGES INCLUDING MEDICAID. 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. ALL ACCOUNT BALANCES RELATING TO ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED BY THE HIGHER BALANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED AND FLAGGED FOR CHARITY IF THERE IS AN INABILITY TO PAY AFTER A RETURN FROM THE COLLECTION AGENCY AT APPROXIMATELY 120 DAYS. MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE LEGAL ACTION CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES. ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAY INCLUDE LIENS UPON REAL PROPERTY AND REASONABLE WAGE GARNISHMENTS. LEGAL ACTIONS WILL GENERALLY NOT INCLUDE BANK GARNISHMENTS, REPOSSESSION OF ASSETS OR FORECLOSURES TO ENSURE SATISFACTION OF A LIEN. MERCY HAS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE INITIATION OF LEGAL ACTION AND ANNUALLY REVIEWS COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES.

UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNTS A DISCOUNT FROM THE HOSPITAL'S REGULAR BILLED CHARGES WILL BE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE. THIS INCLUDES PATIENTS WHOSE FINANCIAL SITUATION NORMALLY WOULD NOT OTHERWISE QUALIFY THEM FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS. PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE WHOSE FINANCIAL SITUATION QUALIFIES THEM FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS (SEE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES BELOW) ARE ASSISTED OR ASKED IN APPLYING FOR MEDICAID BEFORE APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. MERCY WORKS TO EXHAUST ALL EFFORTS TO COORDINATE WITH THE PATIENT TO APPLY FOR MEDICAID, BUT DOES NOT PROHIBIT CHARITY CONSIDERATIONS IF DENIED NOR APPLIED. APPLICATIONS FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS WILL BE REVIEWED FOR ELIGIBILITY BASED ON THE APPLICANT'S INCOME, FAMILY SIZE, AMOUNT OF PAYMENT DUE AND AVAILABILITY OF OTHER ASSETS OR RESOURCES. PLEASE NOTE THAT CARE MUST BE MEDICALLY NECESSARY TO BE CONSIDERED ELIGIBLE FOR UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNTS.
