REHABILITATION SERVICES PART I LINE 3C 1. PHILOSOPHY: IN KEEPING WITH SIERRA VISTA REGIONAL HEALTH CENTERS VISION TO BE A LEADER IN IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH CARE STATUS, IT IS CONSIDERED NOT ONLY NECESSARY BUT ALSO APPROPRIATE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT TO PATIENT CARE CHARGES UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. IT IS NOT THE INTENT OF THIS POLICY TO RESTRICT THIS PRACTICE, BUT TO ESTABLISH CLEAR GUIDELINES BY WHICH TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASK. 2. DEFINITIONS: BECAUSE ADJUSTMENTS CAN OCCUR FOR SEVERAL REASONS, IT IS NECESSARY TO DEFINE CERTAIN TYPES OF ADJUSTMENTS. A. UNCOMPENSATED CARE: UNCOMPENSATED CARE/CHARITY CARE IS DEFINED AS SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY BASED ON INCOME LEVEL, FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS AND/OR FURTHER HEALTHCARE NEEDS BASED ON DIAGNOSIS OR CATASTROPHIC CIRCUMSTANCES. B. SELF - PAY DISCOUNT: A PAYMENT ADJUSTMENT MAY OCCUR WHEN THE PATIENT AGREES TO MAKE IMMEDIATE OR PROMPT PAYMENT IN RETURN FOR A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT DUE. C. PROCESS: ALL ADJUSTMENTS OF PATIENT CARE CHARGES REQUESTED SHALL BE APPROVED BY PERSONS DESIGNATED AS FOLLOWS: - $25,000 + CFO - $5,000 TO $24,999 DIRECTOR OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT - $101 TO $4,999 ASSISTANT MANAGER OF A/R - $1.00 TO $100 A/R STAFF - SELF PAY DISCOUNTS: A SELF PAY DISCOUNT OF 50% WILL BE APPLIED AT THE TIME OF BILLING. - SELF PAY PACKAGE PRICING: SELF PAY PACKAGE PRICING IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE 50% DISCOUNT AS THESE CHARGES ARE ALREADY DISCOUNTED IN THE PACKAGE PRICING METHODOLOGY. D. PLEASE NOTE ON SELF PAY AFTER INSURANCE, THERE IS NO DISCOUNT ON DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-PAYS AS THIS IS PART OF THE CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PAYER AND THE SUBSCRIBER. ONLY COINSURANCE BALANCES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR DISCOUNTS. E. A COINSURANCE DISCOUNT OF 30% WILL BE APPLIED AT THE TIME OF BILLING. F. UNCOMPENSATED CARE - CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUEST FOR CHARITY CARE (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE): FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST MAY BE MADE BY THE PATIENT, OUTSIDE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY OR RELIGIOUS GROUPS, SOCIAL SERVICES, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND SVRHC PERSONNEL. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL KEEP ON FILE (AND FOR REFERENCE) AN ANNUAL "POVERTY GUIDELINES" AS PUBLISHED BY THE FEDERAL REGISTRY. 1. ELIGIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS SECONDARY TO ALL OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THE PATIENT INCLUDING INSURANCE, GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, THIRD PARTY LIABILITY, AND PERSONAL ASSISTS. - FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE PROVIDED TO A PATIENT/GUARANTOR WITH A GROSS FAMILY INCOME 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. DEPENDENT UPON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE AHCCCS PROGRAMS - MOST PROGRAMS AHCCCS ELIGIBILITY 100% FPL (FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL) - A PATIENT/GUARANTOR WILL BE GIVEN PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON HIS OR HER INCOME LEVEL UP TO 800% OF THE POVERTY GUIDELINES. - COSMETIC AND OTHER SERVICES THAT ARE NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE - OTHER CATASTROPHIC CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE CONSIDERED IN THE CHARITY DECISION. - AHCCCS ELIGIBILITY WITHIN 60 DAYS OF SERVICE WILL BE PROOF OF INDIGENCE - MEDICAL INDIGENCE -EVALUATE ADDITIONAL CIRCUMSTANCE - MEDICAL BILLS (COMBINED) GREATER THAN 1 YEAR TIMES ANNUAL INCOME - CATASTROPHIC EVENT/DIAGNOSIS - ASSET AVAILABILITY - PATIENTS/GUARANTORS WILL BE ASKED TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDE PROOF OF INCOME SUCH AS EMPLOYER PAYMENTS STUBS, BANK STATEMENTS AND/OR TAX RETURN. 2. DETERMINATION: - PATIENTS/GUARANTORS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATION BY PHONE OR IN WRITING. - PATIENTS/GUARANTORS MAY APPEAL A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATION BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUCH AS INCOME VERIFICATION OR AN EXPLANATION OF EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES TO THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR FOR REVIEW. - SVRHC'S DECISION TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN NO WAY AFFECTS THE PATIENTS/GUARANTOR FINANCIAL OBLIGATION TO THEIR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. PART I LINE 6A THE ORGANIZATION HAD A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT PREPARED FOR THIS TAX YEAR IN APRIL OF 2012 BY HMS ASSOCIATES. PART I LINE 7 COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE IS PRIMARILY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED IN WORKSHEET 2 OF SCHEDULE H. OTHER COSTS COME FROM OUR FY2012 COST REPORT. PART II COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES SIERRA VISTA REGIONAL HEALTH CENTER'S MISSION REFLECTS THE PHILOSOPHY THAT WE WILL PROVIDE HEALTHCARE EDUCATION, RESOURCES, AND PROGRAMS TO CITIZENS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IN ADDITION TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDERINSURED AND UNINSURED. THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT INCLUDES THE COST OF TRADITIONAL CHARITY CARE, UNPAID PORTIONS OF AHCCCS, AND SUPPLIES OR STAFF TIME VOLUNTEERED ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY. THROUGH OUR WELLNESS DEPOT IN THE MALL AT SIERRA VISTA, OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT COORDINATOR HAS IMPLEMENTED AND HOSTED APPROXIMATELY 142 DIFFERENT HEALTH AND WELLNESS RELATED PROGRAMS AND EVENTS FOR THE PUBLIC. THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO THESE OFTEN FREE EDUCATIONAL SYMPOSIUMS HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT POSITIVE. IN SOME CASES, WE'VE EVEN SAVED LIVES BY RECOGNIZING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, SYMPTOMS OF HEART DISEASE, AND TEACHING THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF A PLANT BASED DIET. WE KNOW THAT OUR WELLNESS DEPOT HAS A VERY POSITIVE IMPACT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HEAR TIME AND AGAIN HOW THANKFUL THE COMMUNITY IS FOR PROVIDING OUTREACH TO THOSE WHO MAY NOT HAVE REGULAR ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. THROUGH THE DEPOT, WE'VE TOUCHED ABOUT 37,000 LIVES WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS WHICH IS AN INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE ARE REACHING. SIERRA VISTA REGIONAL HEALTH CENTER ALSO COMMITS SIGNIFICANT TIME AND RESOURCES TO ENDEAVORS AND CRITICAL SERVICES WHICH MEET OTHERWISE UNFILLED COMMUNITY NEEDS. MANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES ARE SPONSORED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY WILL NOT BE FINANCIALLY VIABLE. THE DEVELOPMENT AND VALUE OF THESE PROGRAMS IS BASED ON A COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE ASSESSMENT PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY.

SCHOLARSHIP COST $ 22,500 HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PART III LINE 4 THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WAS CALCULATED USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED IN WORKSHEET 2 OF SCHEDULE H. THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS RECORDED ON THE FINANCIALS AT GROSS CHARGES. EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO IDENTIFY CHARITY PATIENTS AT THE POINT OF SERVICE SO NONE OF THE PATIENTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME PATIENTS REFUSED TO COMPLETE THE CHARITY APPLICATION SO THAT NEED COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. PART III LINE 8 MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED IN WORKSHEET 2 OF SCHEDULE H. EXPENSE FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION WAS THEN EXCLUDED FROM RESULTING COST. THE ENTIRE SHORTFALL CALCULATED SHOULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMUNITY BENEFIT, SINCE THERE ARE NO OTHER HOSPITALS IN THE AREA THAT COULD PROVIDE CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS. PART III LINE 9B BAD DEBT REVIEW - HEALTH CARE OUT SOURCING NETWORK (HON) WILL PROVIDE A LISTING WEEKLY OF ACCOUNTS FOR POSSIBLE APPROVAL FOR BAD DEBT PROCESSING. - ALL ACCOUNTS WILL HAVE BEEN IN SELF PAY COLLECTIONS FOR 120 DAYS PRIOR TO ASSIGNMENT. - ALL ACCOUNTS WILL BE SCREENED TO ENSURE THAT THE CO-PAY AND OR DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT IS CORRECT. - ALL ACCOUNTS WILL BE SCREENED PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT FOR POSSIBLE PAYMENTS, OTHER THIRD PARTY INSURANCE. AND OR OTHER AGENCY. - A LISTING OF ANY ACCOUNTS TO BE PULLED FROM COLLECTIONS WILL BE PROVIDED BACK TO HON FOR FURTHER WORK UP. PART V LINE 18D PURPOSE THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND LABOR ACT (EMTALA) IMPOSES REQUIREMENTS ON HOSPITALS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THESE OBLIGATIONS INCLUDE A REQUIREMENT THAT A HOSPITAL WITH A DEDICATED EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (DED) PROVIDE A MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION TO PERSONS REQUESTING OR REQUIRING SUCH SERVICES, A REQUIREMENT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE STABILIZING TREATMENT OR APPROPRIATE TRANSFER TO PERSONS WITH EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS, A REQUIREMENT THAT HOSPITALS WITH SPECIALIZED CAPABILITIES ACCEPT CERTAIN TRANSFERS, AND VARIOUS NOTICE, RECORDKEEPING, REPORTING, AND ON-CALL PHYSICIAN REQUIREMENTS. THE PURPOSE OF EMTALA IS TO PREVENT HOSPITALS FROM "DUMPING" PERSONS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR TREATMENT, EITHER BY REFUSING TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES OR BY INAPPROPRIATELY TRANSFERRING OR DISCHARGING THESE PERSONS FOR FINANCIAL REASONS. ALL HOSPITALS WITH A DED MUST COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE EMTALA REQUIREMENTS. POLICY A. MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION (MSE) 1. SVRHC PROVIDES EMERGENCY SERVICES AND MUST PROVIDE A MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION TO ANYONE WHO COMES TO SVRHC OR THE SVRHC'S DEDICATED EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND REQUESTS (OR ON WHOSE BEHALF A REQUEST IS MADE) SUCH AN EXAMINATION OR TREATMENT. THE REQUEST MAY BE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THIS INCLUDES PATIENTS WHO PRESENT TO THE SVRHC'S DED OR A PERSON WHO MAY HAVE FAILED TO ACTUALLY ENTER THE DED BUT IS ON SVRHC CAMPUS. IN THE ABSENCE OF A REQUEST FOR EXAM OR TREATMENT, A REQUEST WILL BE CONSIDERED TO EXIST IF A PRUDENT LAYPERSON OBSERVER WOULD BELIEVE, BASED ON THE PERSON'S APPEARANCE OR BEHAVIOR, THAT THE PERSON NEEDS EMERGENCY TREATMENT OR EXAM. A. THE PURPOSE OF THE MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE PERSON HAS AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION. AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION IS: (1) A MEDICAL CONDITION MANIFESTING ITSELF BY ACUTE SYMPTOMS OF SUFFICIENT SEVERITY (INCLUDING SEVERE PAIN, PSYCHIATRIC DISTURBANCES, AND/OR SYMPTOMS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE) SUCH THAT THE ABSENCE OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION COULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING: (A) PLACING THE HEALTH OF THE PERSON (OR, WITH RESPECT TO A PREGNANT WOMAN, THE HEALTH OF THE WOMAN OR HER UNBORN CHILD) IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY; (B) SERIOUS IMPAIRMENT TO BODILY FUNCTIONS; OR (C) SERIOUS DYSFUNCTION OF ANY BODILY ORGAN OR PART; OR WITH RESPECT TO A PREGNANT WOMAN WHO IS HAVING CONTRACTIONS: (D) THERE IS INADEQUATE TIME TO EFFECT A SAFE TRANSFER TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL BEFORE DELIVERY; OR (E) A TRANSFER POSING A THREAT TO THE HEALTH OR SAFETY OF THE WOMAN OR THE UNBORN CHILD. THE MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION AND THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THE PERSON HAS AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION MUST BE PROVIDED BY QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSONNEL DESIGNATED BY SVRHC IN ITS BYLAWS, RULESAND REGULATIONS, OR OTHER POLICIES OR PROCEDURES APPROVED BY SVRHC'S GOVERNING BOARD. QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSONNEL TYPICALLY INCLUDE PHYSICIANS, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, MIDWIVES, AND NURSES AND OTHER NON-PHYSICIAN PERSONNEL WITH SPECIALIZED COMPETENCIES CONSISTENT WITH THEIR SCOPE OF PRACTICE. B. SVRHC MAY NOT DELAY MSES OR STABILIZING TREATMENT TO INQUIRE ABOUT PATIENT'S INSURANCE STATUS. C. REFER TO EMTALA GUIDELINES FOR SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING LAW ENFORCEMENT REQUESTS, PREGNANT WOMEN, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS. B. NECESSARY STABILIZING TREATMENT 1. IF SVRHC'S QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSON HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PERSON HAS AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION, SVRHC MUST PROVIDE FURTHER MEDICAL EXAMINATION AND TREATMENT NECESSARY TO STABILIZE THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION, OR TRANSFER THE PERSON SUBJECT TO THE TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS. A. A PERSON WITH AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION IS STABILIZED WHEN NO MEDICAL DETERIORATION OF THE CONDITION IS LIKELY, WITHIN REASONABLE MEDICAL PROBABILITY, TO RESULT FROM OR OCCUR DURING THE TRANSFER OF THE PERSON FROM A FACILITY OR, WITH RESPECT TO A WOMAN HAVING CONTRACTIONS WHO HAS AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION, THE WOMAN HAS DELIVERED THE CHILD AND THE PLACENTA. TO BE CONSIDERED STABILIZED, CMS HAS STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION MUST BE "RESOLVED," BUT THE UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITION MAY STILL PERSIST. C. TRANSFER 1. THE PERSON OR PERSON'S LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE MAKES A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR TRANSFER AFTER HAVING BEEN INFORMED OF SVRHC'S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE AN EXAMINATION AND STABILIZING TREATMENT, AND HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE RISKS OF TRANSFER (THE WRITTEN REQUEST FORM MUST STATE THE REASONS FOR THE PERSON'S REQUEST; OR A. PHYSICIAN CERTIFIES IN WRITING THAT THE BENEFITS REASONABLY EXPECTED FROM TREATMENT AT ANOTHER FACILITY OUTWEIGH THE INCREASED RISKS TO THE PERSON (OR A PREGNANT WOMAN'S UNBORN CHILD) FROM THE TRANSFER AND THE PERSON OR HIS OR HER REPRESENTATIVE CONSENTS IN WRITING TO THE TRANSFER. IF A PHYSICIAN IS NOT PRESENT IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSFER, THE QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSON MAY SIGN THE CERTIFICATION IF A PHYSICIAN CONSULTING WITH THE QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSON HAS MADE THE DETERMINATION THAT THE BENEFITS OF THE TRANSFER OUTWEIGH THE RISKS, AND THE PHYSICIAN LATER COUNTERSIGNS THE CERTIFICATION. D. DUTY TO REPORT QUESTIONABLE TRANSFERS 1. SVRHC IS REQUIRED TO REPORT TO CMS OR THE STATE SURVEY AGENCY ANY TIME IT HAS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IT MAY HAVE RECEIVED A TRANSFER FROM ANOTHER HOSPITAL IN VIOLATION OF EMTALA. REPORTS MAY BE VERBAL OR IN WRITING AND SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: A. PATIENT NAME; B. DATE AND TIME OF SERVICE; C. DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENT; AND D. NAMES OF ANY WITNESSES, IF APPLICABLE. E. EMTALA SIGNAGE 1. SVRHC MUST CONSPICUOUSLY POST SIGNS IN THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT(S) AND OTHER PLACES LIKELY TO BE NOTICED BY ALL PERSONS WAITING FOR EMERGENCY EXAMINATION AND TREATMENT (E.G., THE ENTRANCE, ADMITTING AREA, WAITING ROOMS, AND TREATMENT AREAS) THAT EXPLAINS THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS TO EMERGENCY EXAMINATION AND TREATMENT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS UNDER EMTALA.
