ExplanationExplanation	IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference
PART I, LINE 3C: CHARITY CARE PROGRAM- THE COMMUNITY (PARTNERS) CARE PROGRAM A KEY COMPONENT OF ALLINA'S MISSION IS TO DELIVER COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND TO ADVOCATE FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS. ALLINA STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY OF PEOPLE WHO NEED HEALTH CARE SERVICES DOES NOT PREVENT THEM FROM SEEKING OR RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE. THEREFORE, ALLINA HAS SEVERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDING A ROBUST CHARITY CARE PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE COMMUNITY (PARTNERS) CARE PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES FREE CARE TO ALL PERSONS AT OR BELOW 275 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AS PUBLISHED ANNUALLY IN THE FEDERAL REGISTRAR.THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE "MEDICALLY INDIGENT". THE ORGANIZATION EXTENDS THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM IN INSTANCES THE ORGANIZATION HAS DETERMINED THE PATIENT IS UNABLE TO PAY SOME OR ALL OF THEIR MEDICAL BILLS DUE TO CATASTROPHIC CIRCUMSTANCES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE INCOME OR ASSETS THAT OTHERWISE EXCEED THE GENERALLY APPLICABLE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE FREE CARE PROGRAM OR THE DISCOUNTED CARE PROGRAM (DESCRIBED BELOW) UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM GUIDELINES. DISCOUNTED CARE PROGRAM - UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM ALLINA ALSO HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES A DISCOUNT ON BILLED CHARGES TO UNINSURED PATIENTS, AND INSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE UNINSURED TREATMENT, FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE RECEIVED FROM ANY ALLINA HOSPITAL, HOSPITAL BASED CLINIC AND WHOLLY-OWNED AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS. THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM DOES NOT USE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. INSTEAD, UNINSURED PATIENTS AND INSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE UNINSURED TREATMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCOUNT BASED UPON THEIR INCOME LEVEL AND THE LOCATION OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED. ALL PATIENTS WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME AT OR BELOW $125,000 ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCOUNT. THE DISCOUNT IS ALSO GENERALLY EXTENDED TO PATIENTS WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME ABOVE $125,000. THERE ARE TWO DISCOUNTS LEVELS ESTABLISHED, ONE FOR METRO HOSPITALS AND THEIR HOSPITAL BASED CLINICS AND ONE FOR REGIONAL HOSPITALS AND THEIR HOSPITAL BASED CLINICS WITHIN THE ALLINA SYSTEM.ALLINA'S UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM PROVIDES A DISCOUNT TO BILLED CHARGES FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS BASED ON ALLINA'S MOST FAVORED INSURER WHICH PROVIDES A SUBSTANTIAL DISCOUNT TO BILLED CHARGES.
PART I, LINE 6A: ALLINA'S ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. SEE CONTACT INFORMATION CONTAINED IN SCHEDULE O TO OBTAIN A COPY.
PART I, LINE 7: WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE ORGANIZATION USES A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES ("COST TO CHARGE RATIO") TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED FOR PART I, LINE 7 (THE TABLE).
PART I, LINE 7G: THE AMOUNT REPORTED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC.
PART I, L7 COL(F): BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 HAS BEEN SUBTRACTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN COLUMN 7F.
PART II: COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIESUNDERSTANDING THAT GOOD HEALTH IS DEPENDENT ON SOCIETAL, COMMUNITY, AND FAMILY ENVIRONMENTS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL CHOICES, AND IS BIGGER THAN THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE, ALLINA HAS PURPOSEFULLY SET OUT TO ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES THAT ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH PROBLEMS SUCH AS POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MANY OF THESE ROOT CAUSES ARE DIRECTLY TIED TO POOR HEALTH IF GONE IGNORED, PARTICULARLY AMONG LOW-INCOME, MINORITY POPULATIONS. BELOW ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WAYS THAT OUR HOSPITALS PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN 2011:- COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACYOUR PUBLIC POLICY DEPARTMENT WORKS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITALS TO CONNECT KEY LEADERS WITH POLICYMAKERS AS A MEANS TO ADVOCATE FOR HEALTH ISSUES TO AFFECT THE BROADER COMMUNITY. THESE ISSUES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ACCESS TO AND COVERAGE OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN SCHOOLS, ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS, AND TOBACCO TAX POLICY. - WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENTMANY OF ALLINA HOSPITALS HAVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AS A MEANS TO BUILD A FUTURE WORKFORCE WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF OUR ORGANIZATION. BY FOCUSING ON BUILDING THE WORKFORCE, THE GOAL IS THAT THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN PERSONAL EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE STABILITY. BUFFALO HOSPITAL, RIVER FALLS AREA HOSPITAL, NEW ULM MEDICAL CENTER, AND OWATONNA HOSPITAL ALL PROVIDED CAREER DAYS, MENTORING PROGRAMS, AND TRAIN-TO-WORK PROGRAMS WITHIN THEIR FACILITIES AND DEVELOPED OR MAINTAINED PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PROCESS. - COMMUNITY COALITIONSALL ALLINA HOSPITALS PARTICIPATE ON LOCAL COMMUNITY COALITIONS AS A WAY TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP. THESE COALITIONS PROVIDE THE HOSPITALS THE OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND DETERMINE HOW BEST TO LEVERAGE LOCAL RESOURCES TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS, NEEDS THAT EXIST OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL REALM OF HEALTH CARE. ALLINA HOSPITALS ARE PRESENT AT THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO DETERMINE THE ROLE HEALTH CARE CAN PLAY. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS ALLINA HOSPITALS' PARTICIPATION ON THE STATEWIDE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (SHIP) COALITIONS THAT EXIST IN EACH COUNTY IN THE ALLINA SERVICE AREA. IN ADDITION TO COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT RELATED TO ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH, ALLINA WAS ALSO ENGAGED IN ACTIVITIES THAT WERE RELATED TO DISASTER PREPAREDNESS.-DISASTER PREPAREDNESSALLINA HOSPITALS ENGAGED IN AND LED DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLANNING TO ENSURE SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND EXCELLENT HEALTH CARE DURING TIMES OF TRAGEDY AND/OR UPSET. THIS INCLUDED PLANNING MEETINGS AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS/TRAININGS, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THESE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, AMONG OTHERS, PROVIDE THE HOSPITALS WITHIN OUR SYSTEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPACT COMMUNITY HEALTH BEFORE IT BECOMES PROBLEMATIC AND EXPENSIVE. IN ADDITION, THIS IMPORTANT WORK IS SUPPORTED BY THE MISSION OF OUR ORGANIZATION AND IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH.
PART III, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION HAS ADOPTED HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION [HFMA] STATEMENT NO. 15, VALUATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION OF CHARITY CARE AND BAD DEBTS BY INSTITUTIONAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS (STATEMENT 15). AS DISCLOSED IN THE FOOTNOTES TO THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS PROVIDED BELOW VERBATIM), THE PROVISIONS FOR BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE ARE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING HISTORICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. THEREFORE, THE BAD DEBT AMOUNT STATED FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES IS REPORTED "NET" OF ANY ANTICIPATED PATIENT DISCOUNTS TO WHICH THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM (DISCUSSED ABOVE) AND REFLECTS THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT REPORTED AS "NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE" DURING THE CURRENT PERIOD OR ANY PREVIOUS PERIOD. THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL THE "COST" TO PROVIDE THE MEDICAL SERVICES. ALSO, NOTE THAT AMOUNTS RELATED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE QUALIFIED UNDER THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM ARE NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER NET PATIENT REVENUE OR IN BAD DEBT EXPENSE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AS REPORTED IN THE EXPENSE SECTION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FUNCTIONAL EXPENSE STATEMENT OF THE FORM 990 DOES NOT INCLUDE AMOUNTS RELATED TO QUALIFIED CHARITY CARE PATIENTS AND IS STATED AT THE "NET" EXPECTED OR ANTICIPATED COLLECTION AMOUNT WHICH MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN PATIENT CHARGES DUE TO THE APPLICATION OF DISCOUNTS SUCH AS THOSE PROVIDED UNDER THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM. THIS AMOUNT ALSO CONSTITUTES A DIFFERENT AMOUNT THAN THE ORGANIZATION'S ACTUAL COST TO PROVIDE THE MEDICAL SERVICES. TO ARRIVE AT THE FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 BAD DEBT "AT COST", THE ORGANIZATION HAS APPLIED A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES (COST TO CHARGE RATIO) TO THE ESTIMATED PATIENT CHARGE AMOUNT INCLUDED IN BAD DEBT AFTER REMOVING THE ANTICIPATED DISCOUNTS. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS CALCULATED INDEPENDENTLY FOR EACH HOSPITAL OR OPERATING UNIT. THE RESULTING BAD DEBT (AT COST) AMOUNT FOR EACH HOSPITAL AND OPERATING UNIT IS THEN AGGREGATED TO ARRIVE AT THE BAD DEBT (AT COST) REPORTED ON LINE 2. THIS PROCESS PROVIDES A VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT (AT COST). THE ORGANIZATION HAS A ROBUST PROCESS FOR ADMINISTERING THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE CHARITY CARE AND UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM DESCRIBED IN FURTHER DETAIL IN PART VI, LINE 3. EACH PATIENT IS PROVIDED NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY TO THE COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM AND TO PARTICIPATE, IF QUALIFIED, TO RECEIVE FREE OR DISCOUNTED MEDICAL CARE OR BE ENROLLED IN A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED MEDICAL CARE PROGRAM UNDER THE ORGANIZATIONS VARIOUS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS INCLUDES IDENTIFYING ANY PATIENT WITH A FINANCIAL CONCERN, AS WELL AS INFORMING, COUNSELING, QUALIFYING AND ASSISTING PATIENTS TO APPLY FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. ALTHOUGH EACH PATIENT IS PROVIDED NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND INFORMED MULTIPLE TIMES OF THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM PRIOR TO OUR CLASSIFYING THE AMOUNTS AS BAD DEBT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PATIENTS WHO WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE DO NOT COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. THIS AMOUNT IS NOT REASONABLY ESTIMABLE. AS A TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION WE ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, A PERSON WHO WOULD OTHERWISE QUALIFY UNDER THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM MAY NOT PROVIDE US THE NECESSARY INFORMATION, QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAM, AND RECEIVE FREE CARE ALLOWING US TO CLASSIFY AND QUANTIFY IT ACCORDINGLY AND AS SUCH. ULTIMATELY, THOSE AMOUNTS ARE WRITTEN-OFF AND REPORTED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. ANY METHODOLOGY WE COULD USE TO QUANTIFY AND PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH BAD DEBT (AT COST AND IF ANY) REPORTED ON LINE 2 REASONABLY COULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PERSONS WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY AND FOR US TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT PORTION OF BAD DEBT, IF ANY, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES SHOULD CONSTITUTE COMMUNITY BENEFIT WOULD BE PURELY SPECULATIVE, IMPRECISE AND SUBJECT TO INHERENT METHODOLOGY FLAWS. WHILE WE FIRMLY BELIEVE, FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, THAT SOME COMPONENT OF OUR REPORTED BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ON LINE 2 CONSTITUTES AMOUNTS RELATED TO PERSONS WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, WE CANNOT REASONABLY QUANTIFY THE AMOUNT AND RESPECTFULLY DECLINE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE AN AMOUNT. THEREFORE, WE HAVE REPORTED ZERO OR NONE FOR FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3. FOOTNOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT THAT DESCRIBE BAD DEBT EXPENSE ARE AS FOLLOWS:2N. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES/NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUENET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS AND THIRD PARTY PAYERS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED, AND SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN OR AS SUCH REVENUE IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS.THE PROVISIONS FOR BAD DEBTS AND CHARITY CARE ARE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING HISTORICAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING CERTAIN PAST DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON COLLECTION EFFORTS AS DETERMINED BY THE SYSTEM.
PART III, LINE 8: THE ORGANIZATION HAS MORE THAN ONE MEDICARE PROVIDER NUMBER AND THEREFORE AGGREGATED THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS AS THE SOURCE FOR THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINES 5 & 6 AS OUTLINED IN THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. FOR MEDICARE COST REPORTS, ALLINA USES A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES (COST TO CHARGE RATIO) TO DETERMINE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS. GENERALLY, THE RATIO IS CALCULATED AS THE TOTAL MEDICARE ALLOWABLE PATIENT COSTS OVER THE TOTAL PATIENT CHARGES. MEDICARE CHARGES MULTIPLIED BY THIS RATIO EQUALS THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS REPORTED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS CALCULATED INDEPENDENTLY FOR EACH MEDICARE COST REPORT/PROVIDER NUMBER. ALLINA BELIEVES THAT AT LEAST SOME PORTION OF THE COSTS WE INCUR IN EXCESS OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR PROVIDING MEDICAL SERVICES TO MEDICARE ENROLLEES AND BENEFICIARIES UNDER THE FEDERAL MEDICARE PROGRAM (SHORTFALL OR MEDICARE SHORTFALL) CONSTITUTES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. ALLINA'S PROVIDING OF THESE SERVICES CLEARLY LESSENS THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT BY ALLEVIATING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM HAVING TO DIRECTLY PROVIDE THESE MEDICAL SERVICES. AS DEMONSTRATED AND CALCULATED ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7, OUR MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" CLEARLY EXCEED THE PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE FOR PROVIDING THESE MEDICAL SERVICES UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THE TRUE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE CURRENT MEDICARE PROGRAM IS DEPENDENT ON HOW EFFICIENTLY AND COST EFFECTIVELY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD OPERATE A DIRECT MEDICAL CARE MEDICARE PROGRAM OR ALTERNATIVELY THE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTRACT OUT SUCH SERVICES THOUGH A COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS IN THE OPEN MARKETS FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR SERVICES FACTORING IN ITEMS SUCH AS QUALITY OF CARE, OUTCOMES AND SIMILAR IMPORTANT FACTORS AS COMPARED TO ALLINA'S ACTUAL COSTS OF PROVIDING THE MEDICAL CARE. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL CALCULATION ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7 SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERSTATES ALLINA'S ACTUAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST, ALLINA INCURS SIGNIFICANT COSTS IN EXCESS OF PAYMENTS UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM FOR PROVIDING CERTAIN SERVICES THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO MEDICARE COST REPORTING AND THEREFORE NOT REFLECTED IN OUR COST AMOUNTS ON LINE 6. SECOND, THE LINE 6 LIMITS OUR REPORTED COSTS TO ONLY MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" AS SOLELY DETERMINED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MEDICARE PROGRAM. FOR THESE TWO REASONS, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON LINE 7 SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERSTATES ALLINA'S ACTUAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. WE ESTIMATE THESE TWO ITEMS UNDERSTATE ALLINA'S REPORTED MEDICARE SHORTFALL BY OVER $161 MILLION. WE BELIEVE A DIRECT MEDICAL SERVICE MEDICARE PROGRAM OPERATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTRACT OUT THE SERVICES UNDER A COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS MAY EVEN PROVE TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAN ALLINA'S REPORTED MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" ON LINE 6 GIVEN OUR QUALITY OF CARE, SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES AND THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTUAL COSTS WE INCUR AND MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" IN PROVIDING CARE UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THEREFORE, WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A TRUE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMPONENT TO OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE FEDERAL MEDICARE PROGRAM.
PART III, LINE 9B: THE ORGANIZATION'S WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND COLLECTION PRACTICES APPLY UNIFORMLY TO ALL PATIENTS AND INCLUDE PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATIONS CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. IF A PATIENT IS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY AFFORDED THE PROGRAM BENEFITS FOR UP TO ONE YEAR AS THEY WOULD HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR US TO MAKE SUCH A DETERMINATION. FOR EXAMPLE, A PATIENT THAT QUALIFIED FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM BEFORE RECEIVING SERVICES WOULD NOT RECEIVE A BILLING STATEMENT FOR THE MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED. IN THE CASE OF A PATIENT QUALIFYING FOR THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AFTER RECEIVING SERVICES AND THE COMMENCEMENT OF CERTAIN COLLECTION ACTIVITIES, THE AMOUNTS ARE DISCHARGED AS CHARITY CARE AND ALL COLLECTION ACTIVITIES CEASE. AS DISCUSSED IN THE RESPONSE TO PART VI, LINE 3, PATIENTS ARE INFORMED AND EDUCATED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AS PART OF THE ROUTINE REGISTRATION, ADMISSION, INTAKE, BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESSES. IF A PATIENT DESIRES TO APPLY FOR THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, PERSONNEL WILL SEND AN APPLICATION TO THE PATIENT. IF COLLECTION ACTIVITIES HAVE COMMENCED, THOSE ACTIVITIES WILL BE SUSPENDED FOR THIRTY (30) DAYS TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE APPLICATION PROCESS. COLLECTION ACTIVITY MAY RESUME IF, AFTER 30 DAYS, A COMPLETED APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED. IN THE CASE OF AN INCOMPLETE APPLICATION, THE ORGANIZATION MAY RESUME COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IF REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ARE NOT MET WITH A TIMELY RESPONSE. IF AN APPLICANT DOES NOT MEET THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND THE APPLICATION IS DENIED, COLLECTION ACTIVITY MAY RESUME UPON DENIAL. HOWEVER, THE PATIENT MAY STILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS WHICH ARE APPLIED AS WARRANTED BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. SUCH ACTIVITIES ARE FULLY EXPLAINED TO THE PATIENT DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS.

PART VI, LINE 2: ALLINA HEALTH SYSTEM (ALLINA) TOGETHER WITH ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES AS DESCRIBED IN PART VI, LINE 6 DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROCESS AS A MEANS TO ASSESS COMMUNITY NEEDS AND BUILD PLANS TO CONTINUE TO RESPOND TO THOSE NEEDS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2010-2012. BELOW IS THE PROCESS AND FINDINGS FOR THE 2010 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT; A FULL REPORT IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.ALLINAHEALTH.ORG.THE ASSESSMENT BEGAN WITH A REVIEW OF EXISTING NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL DATA TO IDENTIFY ISSUES AFFECTING ALL ALLINA HEALTH SERVICE AREAS. ONCE A LIST OF HEALTH ISSUES WAS DEVELOPED, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STAFF AND ALLINA LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BROAD SYSTEM-LEVEL PRIORITY AREAS THROUGH THE USE OF A PRIORITY-SETTING PROCESS AND HEALTH ISSUES SCORING TOOL. FROM THIS PROCESS, THREE PRIORITY ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED:-HEALTHFUL EATING-ACTIVE LIVING-STRESS REDUCTION/LIFE BALANCE THESE INTERRELATED ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES BECAUSE THEY AFFECT MULTIPLE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND GREATLY IMPACT COMMUNITY HEALTH. COMMUNITY HEALTH DIALOGUESWITH PRIORITY ISSUES IDENTIFIED, THE NEXT STEP IN THE ASSESSMENT WAS HOSTING COMMUNITY HEALTH DIALOGUES IN EACH OF THE NINE REGIONS SERVED BY ALLINA HEALTH. THESE DIALOGUES WERE FACILITATED BY AN OUTSIDE FACILITATOR AND ENGAGED 260 COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN CONVERSATION ABOUT ASSETS AND BARRIERS TO HEALTHFUL EATING, ACTIVE LIVING AND LIFE BALANCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE ALSO ASKED WHAT THEY THINK ALLINA HEALTH SHOULD DO TO IMPROVE HEALTH IN THEIR COMMUNITIES RELATED TO THESE ISSUES. THE TOP SIX RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALLINA WERE AS FOLLOWS:1. OFFER HEALTH EDUCATION IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS2. INCREASE COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP WITH AND COMMUNICATION ABOUT EXISTING RESOURCES3. SHIFT MEDICAL PRACTICES TOWARD ILLNESS PREVENTION AND PATIENT WELLNESS4. MODEL HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROMOTION WITHIN ALLINA FACILITIES5. FOSTER BEHAVIOR CHANGE THROUGH SPONSORSHIP OF COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE HEALTH6. ADVOCATE FOR PUBLIC POLICY CHANGESALLINA HEALTH EMPLOYEE SURVEYFOLLOWING THE DIALOGUES, A SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED WITH ALLINA HEALTH EMPLOYEES TO GAIN PERSPECTIVES AND IDEAS RELATED TO THE INFORMATION RECEIVED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DIALOGUES. THE SURVEY ASKED RESPONDENTS TO 1) PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT EFFORTS ALREADY UNDERWAY THROUGHOUT THE ALLINA HEALTH SYSTEM THAT RELATED TO THE COMMUNITY INPUT RECEIVED AT THE DIALOGUES AND 2) SELECT THEIR TOP CHOICES FROM AND PROVIDE SPECIFIC IDEAS ABOUT THE SIX COMMUNITY SUGGESTIONS. THERE WERE 136 TOTAL RESPONDENTS TO THE SURVEY THAT SPANNED ALLINA'S SERVICES AND SERVICE AREAS. SURVEY RESULTS SHOWED THAT OF THE SIX COMMUNITY SUGGESTIONS, THE TOP THREE THAT EMPLOYEES THOUGHT ALLINA SHOULD WORK ON INCLUDED:1. SHIFT MEDICAL PRACTICES TOWARD ILLNESS PREVENTION AND PATIENT WELLNESS (28.7%)2. MODEL HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROMOTION WITHIN ALLINA FACILITIES (21.3%)3. INCREASE COLLABORATION, PARTNERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION ABOUT EXISTING RESOURCES (21.3%)THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS WAS TO USE THE ASSESSMENT INFORMATION TO DEVELOP A 2011 SYSTEM-WIDE STRATEGY RELATED TO THE THREE PRIORITY AREAS. TO DO SO, ALLINA HEALTH CONVENED KEY STAKEHOLDERS FROM ACROSS THE SYSTEM TO REVIEW ASSESSMENT INFORMATION, DETERMINE THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN COMMUNITY INTERESTS AND SUGGESTIONS AND ALLINA STRENGTHS AND INTERESTS, AND BEGIN DEVELOPING THE STRATEGY TO IMPROVE HEALTHFUL EATING, ACTIVE LIVING AND STRESS REDUCTION/LIFE BALANCE. IN ADDITION, REGIONAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT LEADS WORKED WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND INTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS IN THEIR REGIONS TO REVIEW ASSESSMENT INFORMATION AND DEVELOP 2011 REGIONAL WORKPLANS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES AS IT RELATES TO THE THREE SYSTEM-LEVEL PRIORITIES.
PART VI, LINE 3: A KEY COMPONENT OF ALLINA'S MISSION IS TO DELIVER COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND TO ADVOCATE FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS. ALLINA STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY OF PEOPLE WHO NEED HEALTH CARE SERVICES DOES NOT PREVENT THEM FROM SEEKING OR RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE.

ALLINA HOSPITALS AND CLINICS EXECUTIVE BENEFIT PLAN ALLINA HOSPITALS AND CLINICS PHYSICIAN BENEFIT PLAN EXECUTIVE MUTUAL FUND ACCOUNT PLAN THESE ACCOUNTS GIVE THE PARTICIPANT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CAPITAL ACCUMULATION NOT FULLY AVAILABLE TO THEM THROUGH SOCIAL SECURITY OR THE GENERAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS BECAUSE OF MAXIMUMS PLACED ON COMPENSATION THAT CAN BE RECOGNIZED UNDER FEDERAL LAW FOR PURPOSES OF CONTRIBUTIONS. THEY ALSO SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT NON-COMPETE INCENTIVE TO PARTICIPANTS. PRIOR TO THE YEAR IN WHICH CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE, THE PARTICIPANT MUST DESIGNATE A VESTING/PAYOUT DATE CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE PLANS AND FEDERAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION REGULATIONS. AFTER THE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE, THE PARTICIPANT HAS A ONE-TIME LIMITED OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND THE ELECTED PAYMENT DATE FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. ONCE THE VESTING/PAYOUT DATE HAS BEEN REACHED, ALLINA WILL WITHHOLD THE APPROPRIATE TAXES AND THE BALANCE WILL BE PAID TO THE PARTICIPANT ON THEIR PAYCHECK AS SOON AS ADMINISTRATIVELY FEASIBLE. IF THE PARTICIPANT TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT VOLUNTARILY BEFORE AN AMOUNT IS PAID, PAYMENT WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE PARTICIPANT'S COMPLIANCE WITH A NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT WITH ALLINA FOR TWO YEARS AFTER TERMINATION. THE PARTICIPANT MAY ELECT FROM AMONG INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE AVAILABLE IN THE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN. UNLIKE THE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN, THE PARTICIPANT HAS THE STATUS AN UNSECURED CREDITOR OF ALLINA AND WILL NOT HAVE A PREFERRED CLAIM TO PAYMENT IN THE CASE OF THE COMPANY'S INABILITY TO PAY. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY DOES SET ASIDE ASSETS FOR ITS OBLIGATIONS BY ACTUALLY INVESTING THE PROMISED ASSETS CONSISTENT WITH PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS. EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN ALLINA PROVIDES SALARY CONTINUATION FOR EXECUTIVES WHOSE EMPLOYMENT HAS BEEN INVOLUNTARILY TERMINATED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN CAUSE OR POOR PERFORMANCE. THE LENGTH OF THE SEVERANCE PAY PERIOD IS DEFINED BY THE PLAN AND DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL OF THE EXECUTIVE POSITION. UNDER THE PLAN THE SEVERED EXECUTIVE ALSO COULD CONTINUE CERTAIN BENEFITS FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME. IN 2009 THE PLAN WAS AMENDED TO FURTHER RESTRICT SEVERANCE BENEFITS IN THE CASE THAT THE EXECUTIVE OBTAINS OTHER EMPLOYMENT DURING THE SEVERANCE PERIOD.	SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
