General Explanation	FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A-6B: A SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROVIDED BY GEISINGER WYOMING VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER (GWV)AND ITS RELATED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IS AVAILABLE AT GEISINGER.ORG AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST. (GO TO: WWW.GEISINGER.ORG/ABOUT/2010COMMUNITYBENEFIT.PDF) FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4: GEISINGER WYOMING VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER IS A MEMBER OF A GROUP WITH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PER THE FOOTNOTE RELATED TO ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATIONS OF THE CONSOLIDATED GROUP RECOGNIZE THE "ESTIMATED ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED ON AGING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE." GWV REPORTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES RENDERED AT NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM THIRD PARTY PAYERS, PATIENTS AND OTHERS. AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTABLE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES IS PROVIDED BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. THE RATIO OF PATIENT COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO THE GWV'S BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD EXPENSE REPORTED ON LINE 2 OF PART III. PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS ARE MONITORED THROUGHOUT THE BILLING PROCESS AND RECLASSIFIED TO FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE WHENEVER THE PATIENT BECOMES ELIGIBLE UNDER GWV'S UNCOMPENSATED CARE POLICIES. ACCORDINGLY, THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS SHOULD NOT INCLUDE AMOUNTS THAT MAY BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE UNDER GWV'S UNCOMPENSATED CARE POLICIES. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8: GWV CONSIDERS THAT THE TOTAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF 11,612,001 IS REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. ALONG WITH PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICAID PATIENTS AND PROVIDING FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE TO OTHER LOW INCOME PATIENTS, THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. FOR MANY OF THE MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITAL, MEDICARE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS, FORCING GWV TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE SHORTFALL. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY GWV IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. GWV PROVIDES CARE REGARDLESS OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND THEREBY RELIEVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS LIKE GWV TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM LEVEL OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO RETAIN EXEMPTION FROM STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. ACCORDING TO STATE STATUTE AND CASE LAW, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE IS CONSIDERED TO BE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B: IT IS GWV POLICY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COUNSELING TO PATIENTS WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS. A PATIENT MAY BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT ANYTIME DURING TREATMENT OR DURING THE CONTINUUM OF THE FINANCIAL/BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS.
