FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART 1, LINE 6A	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PREPARED BY ITS ULTIMATE PARENT ENTITY, MERCY HEALTH (EIN: 43-1423050).
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F	TOTAL EXPENSES FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN(A) ARE $917,145,460. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS BAD DEBT EXPENSE (CHARGES) OF $46,167,787. EXPENSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F) ARE $870,977,673. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES THE ORGANIZATION DID NOT INCLUDE ANY PHYSICIAN CLINIC COSTS ON LINE 7G.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES WORK TOWARD IMPROVING THE HEALTH, WELLNESS AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD'S EFFORTS TO ENHANCE THE OPERATIONAL STRUCTURES OF THE COMMUNITY INCLUDE COLLABORATIONS WITH MANY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS; FOR EXAMPLE: BURRELL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP OF THE OZARKS, MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY, OZARKS COUNSELING CENTER, SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS, SPRINGFIELD-GREENE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND THE HEALTH COMMISSION. COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED PARTNERSHIPS, MEETINGS AND EVENTS, AND SERVICE ON COMMUNITY BOARDS. ONE EXAMPLE OF MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD'S PARTICIPATION IN COALITION BUILDING AND COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION IS THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID PROGRAM DIRECTED BY COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP OF THE OZARKS. THE PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED GIVEN THE HIGH INCIDENCE OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE-RELATED ISSUES FOR YOUTH THROUGHOUT SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND ALLOWS CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL STAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN SCREENINGS, EDUCATION AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS TO ENSURE LOCAL YOUTH HAVE SUFFICIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORT. AS RESEARCH INDICATES, THIS IMPACTS YOUTH'S EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY; THUS, MANY COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE HIGHLY ENGAGED IN THIS INITIATIVE. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD'S COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT INCLUDES VARIOUS BUSINESS AND PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE ONES NAMED ABOVE AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, CARE TO LEARN, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, CITY OF SPRINGFIELD, COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF THE OZARKS, THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, UNITED WAY OF THE OZARKS AND MORE THAN 300 LOCAL NONPROFIT SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD ALSO PROMOTES SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENTS BY WORKING WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND GROUPS LIKE ONE AIR ALLIANCE. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD BECAME ONE OF THE FIRST SMOKE-FREE ORGANIZATIONS IN SPRINGFIELD AND CONTINUES TO WORK WITH OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO FURTHER TOBACCO PREVENTION AND TO CREATE SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENTS. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD CONTINUES TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE HEALTH COMMISSION, A COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO WORKING WITH AND FOR MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WITH LIMITED ECONOMIC RESOURCES AND WHO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND RESOURCES. THE COMMISSION PROVIDES A PLATFORM FOR COLLABORATION BETWEEN AREA NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. THE COMMISSION DEVELOPED THE COMMUNITY MEDICATION ACCESS PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES NEEDED MEDICATIONS FOR PATIENTS WITH LIMITED RESOURCES. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD PARTNERS WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES AND NURSING SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO CLINICAL EDUCATION FOR MULTIPLE HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE SPECIALTIES INCLUDING NURSING, NURSE PRACTITIONER, RADIOLOGY, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, SPEECH THERAPY, DIETICIAN, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT, LABORATORY, SURGICAL TECHNICIAN, SPORTS MEDICINE, AND PHYSICAL THERAPY STUDENTS. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD SUPPORTS THE MERCY COLLEGE OF NURSING AND ALSO A SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAM FOR HEALTH CAREERS CALLED THE HEALTH SCIENCES ACADEMY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MERCY IS PARTICIPATING IN SEVERAL COMMUNITY EFFORTS TO BRING PHYSICIAN TRAINING TO SPRINGFIELD, PARTICULARLY FOR PRIMARY CARE. IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND FOR SEVERAL DECADES, MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD SUPPORTED SPRINGFIELD'S ONLY FREE CLINIC, THE KITCHEN CLINIC, FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND THOSE WITH LIMITED ECONOMIC RESOURCES THROUGH FINANCIAL AND IN-KIND SUPPORT. IN SEPTEMBER 2015, THE KITCHEN CLINIC CLOSED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ONGOING FINANCIAL SUPPORT. IN RESPONSE TO THIS, MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD AND MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY INITIATED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW FREE CLINIC, MSU CARE, WHICH OPENED IN OCTOBER 2015, SERVING THE SAME POPULATION WITH MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE CAPACITY. THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP, WE ARE ABLE TO ADVANCE THE CARE OF THE POPULATION BY MONITORING THEM THROUGH OUR ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD, ROBUST CARE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, AND OFFER APPROPRIATE SPECIALTY CARE THROUGH A CHARITY CARE PROCESS AT MERCY. IN ADDITION, WE ARE CREATING A HANDS ON EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT THAT PROVIDES AWARENESS AROUND THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AS WELL AS RECRUITS CREDENTIALED STUDENTS TO STAY LOCAL UPON GRADUATING. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD WORKS CLOSELY WITH OUR ONLY FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, JORDAN VALLEY COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, TO ENSURE ACCESS TO SERVICES FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR INFANTS. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD SUPPORTS THE REGION'S ONLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND PROVIDES MULTIPLE SPECIALTY SERVICES TO A LARGE RURAL GEOGRAPHIC REGION IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. MERCY HOSPITAL SPRINGFIELD ALSO PARTNERS WITH AND SUPPORTS ISABEL'S HOUSE, THE ONLY CRISIS NURSERY IN THE SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AREA FOCUSED ON THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THE CRISIS NURSERY ALSO ENSURES FAMILIES THAT ARE IN CRISIS HAVE APPROPRIATE AND NEEDED HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THEIR INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN.
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.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2	MERCY BELIEVES THAT ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS. THEREFORE, NO FURTHER STEPS WERE TAKEN TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL NEEDS. MERCY MEASURES ALL COMMUNITY HEALTH INDICATORS AS SET FORTH BY THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, AND MEASURES ALL UTILIZATION ACTIVITY (PARTICULARLY FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS) TO FIRST UNDERSTAND THE STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. BASED ON THESE FINDINGS, MERCY REFINES ITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND MONITORS PROGRESS THROUGH A COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT ALSO SERVES ON A COMMUNITY HEALTH COLLABORATION BOARD WITH OTHER AREA NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS TO MAKE SURE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE CORRECT AND TO DEVELOP ALIGNED STRATEGIES TO ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES AND SUBSEQUENT IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES.

THE STATEMENT ALSO INCLUDES DIRECTION ON HOW TO REACH OUT TO MERCY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AS WELL. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION AS A PART OF OUR HEALING MINISTRY, THE FILING ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION. WE OFFER PAYMENT ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE OR WHO ARE IN FINANCIAL NEED. 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.
