Part I, Line 6a: Mercy Hospital Community Benefit Report is contained in a report prepared by the Catholic Health System.
Part I, Line 7: Costing is a full step down methodology of cost from non-revenue producing departments to revenue producing departments', with assignment of cost to individual charge items based on volume and charge amount. All patient accounts are cost with the same methodology regardless of patient type (inpatient, outpatient, emergency room, etc.) or insurance coverage (Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, uninsured, etc.).
Part I, L7 Col(f): Bad debt expenses of $ 8,178,587 are included in Part IX, line 25, column (A) but subtracted when calculating the percentage in column (f).
Part II: Mercy Hospital provided Community Building in the form of Community Support and Leadership Development which improved community leadership by promoting understanding of community healthcare needs and services at various events throughout the community. Environmental improvements included Green Initiatives and Pharmaceutical Waste disposals. Additionally Workforce Development was provided by mentoring and education to students regarding healthcare careers throughout the community.
Part III, Line 4: The amount in Part III line 2 is the actual bad debt expenses of $8,178,587 written down to cost, utilizing the Uninsured Ratio of Cost to Charges (RCC) obtained from the full step down methodology of cost described in Part 1, line 7. The amount in Part III line 3 is the estimate of bad debt from uninsured balance which is developed as follows: as policy is to write accounts to bad debt 120 days after discharge, the discharge date period of 10/1/2009 to 9/30/2010 was used to determine the population of uninsured accounts. The balance of these accounts was determined and the RCC was applied to develop the estimate in H Part III Line 3. As our determination of eligibility for the Healthcare Assistance Program (HAP) (Charity Care) is based solely on the presentation for care without insurance, which is now for each account, and use of a sophisticated estimator (PARO) of each guarantor's ability to pay an estimate of "the amount that reasonably could be attributable to patients who likely would qualify for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care policy if sufficient information had been available to make a determination of their eligibility" is not relevant. The organization's financial statements do not include a footnote that describes bad debt expense, but the financial statements account for bad debt expenses in the statement of operations as actual expenses written off and an estimate of future write-offs less any recoveries.
Part III, Line 8: The costing methodology used to determine the Medicare Allowable costs is Cost to Charge. The shortfall is not treated as a community benefit.
