IdentifierIdentifier	ExplanationExplanation
PART I, LINE 3C	CHARITY CARE POLICY THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES EMERGENT AND MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES TO ALL PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE WRITTEN CHARITY CARE POLICY IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED AND COMMUNICATED TO THE COMMUNITY. UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE AMOUNT OF FREE CARE PROVIDED IS DETERMINED BY FINANCIAL NEED AND IS NOT LIMITED BY BUDGETED AMOUNTS. PATIENTS EARNING LESS THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES RECEIVE FREE CARE AND THOSE BETWEEN 200% AND 400% OF THE GUIDELINES RECEIVE DISCOUNTED CARE ON A SLIDING SCALE. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM LOOKS AT BOTH THE CURRENT INCOME AND THE INCOME FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR (AS DISPLAYED IN TAX DOCUMENTS) AND THEN CALCULATES POTENTIAL BENEFITS BASED UPON EACH VARIABLE, OFFERING ITS PATIENT'S THE MOST GENEROUS BENEFIT. THIS POLICY ACKNOWLEDGES THE FRAGILE NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT AND THE IMPACT OF PREVIOUS YEAR HARDSHIPS. CONSISTENT WITH THE ILLINOIS UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNT ACT, PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCOUNT IF THEIR INCOME IS AT OR BELOW 600% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. OF THE REMAINING BALANCE, THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS CAPPED AT 25% OF THE FAMILY'S ANNUAL INCOME.
PART I, LINE 6A	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED IN AN ANNUAL REPORT ISSUED BY NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE, THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF THE HOSPITAL.
PART I, LINE 7	COSTING METHODOLOGY THE FOLLOWING METHODOLOGIES WERE USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR LINE 7: PART I, LINES 7A - 7D, RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES AS DETERMINED USING WORKSHEET 2 IN THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. PART I, LINES 7E - 7I, COSTS WERE DETERMINED USING THE DIRECT COSTS FOR THE SPECIFIC PROGRAM OR SERVICE FROM THE HOSPITAL'S GENERAL LEDGER SYSTEM, WHICH ADDRESSES ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS. PART I, LINE 7G: SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES THE HOSPITAL HAS NOT INCLUDED ANY COSTS RELATED TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC AS PART OF SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. PART IV, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): BAD DEBT EXPENSE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) THAT WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE CALCULATION OF THIS PERCENTAGE WAS $41,968,664.
PART III, LINE 1	BAD DEBT EXPENSE THE HOSPITAL RECORDS BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP). HFMA STATEMENT 15 IS FOLLOWED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT ALIGNS WITH THE GUIDELINES PER GAAP.
PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IS INCLUDED IN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE (NCH) AND SUBSIDIARIES. THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE REFERENCING BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE FY 2011 AUDIT IS AS FOLLOWS: "[NCH] EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYOR CLASS AND THE ANTICIPATED FUTURE COLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE." WRITE-OFFS ARE SHOWN NET OF CONTRACTUALS AND DISCOUNTS. THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE AS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 WAS DETERMINED USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED USING WORKSHEET 2 IN THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. FOR FY 2011, THE HOSPITAL RECORDED PROVISIONS FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $11,730,242 (AT CHARGES) OF WHICH IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 9% OF THIS AMOUNT WOULD HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS CHARITY IF THE PATIENT WOULD HAVE FULLY COMPLETED THE CHARITY APPLICATION PROCESS. THIS ESTIMATE IS BASED ON PATIENTS WHO BEGAN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS BUT DID NOT RESPOND TO THE HOSPITAL'S REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND/OR COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION. THESE PATIENTS WERE DEEMED VIABLE CANDIDATES TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THEIR SERVICES BY THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL COUNSELORS. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS FOLLOWED UP IN WRITING AND BY PHONE IN AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATION.
PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE SHORTFALL THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED IN PART III, LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE: (A) WITHOUT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY THAT MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR MEDICAID; (B) BY THE HOSPITAL ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE PATIENTS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS; (C) THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTIONS IN MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY REDUCE ACCESS TO CARE FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS; AND (D) THE AMOUNT SPENT BY THE HOSPITAL TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO OTHER COMMUNITY NEEDS.
Part III, LINE 9B	COLLECTION PRACTICES IT IS THE POLICY OF THE HOSPITAL TO OFFER PATIENTS A PAYMENT PLAN OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHEN IT BECOMES KNOWN OR SUSPECTED THAT A PATIENT NEEDS SUCH ASSISTANCE. FINANCIAL COUNSELORS CONTACT AND WORK WITH THE PATIENT OR THEIR FAMILY TO HELP DETERMINE IF THERE ARE ANY THIRD PARTY PAYORS WHICH MAY BE AVAILABLE TO HELP THE PATIENT MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS, SUCH AS MEDICAID, COBRA, WORKERS COMPENSATION, OR SPECIALIZED GRANT PROGRAMS. IF NO THIRD PARTY PROGRAMS ARE IDENTIFIED, THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WORK WITH THE PATIENT TO HELP THEM APPLY FOR CHARITY DISCOUNTS OR PAYMENT PLANS. FORMS ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, AND TRANSLATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN MANY LANGUAGES. IN ADDITION, ALL PATIENT BILLS AND STATEMENTS INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND THE INFORMATION IS ALSO POSTED ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE. COLLECTION ACTIVITY WILL BE SUSPENDED DURING THE CONSIDERATION OF A COMPLETED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION OR AN APPLICATION FOR ANY OTHER HEALTHCARE BRACKET (I.E, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, ETC.). A NOTE IS ENTERED INTO THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT TO SUSPEND COLLECTION ACTIVITY UNTIL THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IS COMPLETED. ACCOUNTS IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS WILL BE MONITORED AND, UPON THE DECISION TO APPROVE OR DENY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT WILL BE UPDATED. IF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS APPROVED WITH A PERCENTAGE LESS THAN 100% OR DENIED, THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT WILL BE NOTED AND THE HOSPITAL WILL RESUME THE SELF PAY COLLECTION ACTIVITY IN COMPLIANCE WITH ITS SELF PAY FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES.
Part VI, LINE 2	NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN 2010, THE HOSPITAL PARTICIPATED IN A REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT OFFERED BY THE METROPOLITAN CHICAGO HEALTHCARE COUNCIL (MCHC) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH CONSULTANTS (PRC). THE ASSESSMENT CONSISTED OF A 30-MINUTE TELEPHONE HEALTH SURVEY THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. OVER 1,200 SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED, WITH 240 IN THE NORTHWEST REGION OF THE COUNTY, WHERE THE HOSPITAL IS LOCATED. CAREFUL CONSIDERATION WAS TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE PARTICIPATING IN THE SURVEY MIRRORED THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE GOAL OF THE SURVEY WAS TO TARGET ACTUAL HEALTH STATUS, BEHAVIOR AND EXPERIENCES, RATHER THAN PERCEPTIONS. ISSUES ADDRESSED INCLUDED SELF-REPORTED HEALTH STATUS, PHYSICAL HEALTH STATUS, MENTAL HEALTH STATUS, DEATH AND DISABILITY, INFECTION AND CHRONIC DISEASE, BIRTHS, CHILDREN'S HEALTH STATUS, MODIFIABLE HEALTH RISKS, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, HEALTH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, AND HEALTH INFORMATION SOURCES. THE ASSESSMENT ALSO INTEGRATED THE MOST RECENT SECONDARY PUBLIC HEALTH DATA TO COMPLEMENT THE PRIMARY TELEPHONE SURVEY DATA. A HOSPITAL TEAM COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM COMMUNITY SERVICES, IMMEDIATE CARE/WELLNESS, FINANCE, NURSING AND MARKETING DEPARTMENTS THEN REVIEWED RESULTS FOR THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SERVICE AREA AND COMPARED IT TO LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL DATA AS WELL AS HEALTHY PEOPLE BENCHMARKS. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANS WERE DEVELOPED AND PRESENTED TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE, A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, FOR FINAL APPROVAL. THE MOST PREDOMINANT FINDING WAS THE DIFFICULTY THE COMMUNITY HAS IN ACCESSING HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHICH INCLUDES PRIMARY, ORAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, AS WELL AS PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION. ASSESSMENT FINDINGS SHOWED THAT 39.2% OF THOSE SURVEYED HAD DIFFICULTY ACCESSING PRIMARY HEALTH CARE IN THE PAST YEAR, 22.4% HAD NOT SEEN A DENTIST IN THE PAST YEAR, AND 16.5% OF THE SURVEYED POPULATION REPORTED SKIPPING PRESCRIPTIONS TO SAVE ON COSTS. ANOTHER MAJOR CONCERN AND FOCUS OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANS WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE STARTLING OBESITY RATES, WITH 48.2% OF THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA BEING OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. THROUGHOUT FY 2011, THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WITH OVERSIGHT FROM THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE, CONTINUALLY REVIEWED THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH CONCERNS AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANS THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS. MEASUREMENT TOOLS WERE DEVELOPED FOR ALL PROGRAMS AND MONITORED REGULARLY TO ENSURE THEIR IMPACT AND EFFECTIVENESS. ALSO IN 2011, THE HOSPITAL WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE SUGGESTIONS AND FEEDBACK TO MCHC ON THE 2010 ASSESSMENT TOOL WHICH WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE NEXT ASSESSMENT THEY CONDUCT IN 2012. THE HOSPITAL HAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO PARTICIPATING IN THE NEXT ASSESSMENT AND WILL USE THE FINDINGS OF THAT ASSESSMENT TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS NEEDED TO THE CURRENT COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN. PART VI, LINE 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AT NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IS COMMUNICATED WIDELY TO PATIENTS AND VISITORS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH USING THE FOLLOWING METHODS: (1) SIGNAGE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH IS POSTED THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION AT ALL ACCESS POINTS, INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND OUTPATIENT REGISTRATION AREAS.
