Bad Debt Footnote	FOOTNOTE FROM AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: THE HOSPITALS COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY SERVICE IS EVIDENCED BY SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE POOR AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE POOR INCLUDE SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO CANNOT AFFORD HEALTHCARE BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE RESOURCES AND/OR WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED. FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES, THE HOSPITAL REPORTS CARE PROVIDED FOR WHICH NO PAYMENT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE PATIENT OR INSURER AS UNCOMPENSATED CARE. UNCOMPENSATED CARE IS THE SUM OF THE HOSPITALS FREE CARE PROVIDED, CHARITY CARE PROVIDED AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE. IN DETERMINING UNCOMPENSATED CARE, THE HOSPITAL EXCLUDES CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES. THE COST OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY 15.5 MILLION AND 19.6 MILLION IN 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITAL INCURRED LOSSES RELATED TO THE STATE MEDICAID PROGRAM OF APPROXIMATELY 21.4 MILLION AND 25.4 MILLION IN 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY. THE ESTIMATED COST OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE AND MEDICAID LOSSES WERE DETERMINED USING HOSPITAL-SPECIFIC DATA. THE HOSPITAL MAKES AVAILABLE FREE CARE PROGRAMS FOR QUALIFYING PATIENTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ESTABLISHED POLICIES OF THE HOSPITAL, DURING THE REGISTRATION, BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS A PATIENTS ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE CARE FUNDS IS DETERMINED. FOR PATIENTS WHO WERE DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY BUT DID NOT, THE UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS ARE BAD DEBT EXPENSE. FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT AVAIL THEMSELVES OF ANY FREE CARE PROGRAM AND WHOSE ABILITY TO PAY CANNOT BE DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL, CARE GIVEN BUT NOT PAID FOR, IS CLASSIFIED AS CHARITY CARE. ANNUALLY, THE HOSPITAL ACCRUES FOR THE POTENTIAL LOSSES RELATED TO ITS UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND THE AMOUNTS THAT MEET THE DEFINITION OF CHARITY AND FREE CARE ALLOWANCES. AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009, THE AMOUNT ESTIMATED BY MANAGEMENT TO REPRESENT THE HOSPITALS UNCOLLECTIBLE AND CHARITY AND FREE CARE ALLOWANCE, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING BALANCE SHEET AS A REDUCTION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES TO PATIENTS, WAS APPROXIMATELY 17.0 MILLION AND 24.2 MILLION, RESPECTIVELY. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES BENEFITS FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY WHICH INCLUDES SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER NEEDY POPULATIONS THAT MAY NOT QUALIFY AS POOR BUT NEED SPECIAL SERVICES AND SUPPORT. BENEFITS INCLUDE THE COST OF HEALTH PROMOTION AND EDUCATION OF THE GENERAL COMMUNITY, INTERNS AND RESIDENTS, HEALTH SCREENINGS, AND MEDICAL RESEARCH. THE BENEFITS ARE PROVIDED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, SOME OF WHICH SERVICE NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING RESIDENTS, DISABLED CHILDREN, AND VARIOUS COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUPS. IN ADDITION TO THE QUANTIFIABLE SERVICES DEFINED ABOVE, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS ADVOCACY OF COMMUNITY SERVICE BY EMPLOYEES. THE HOSPITALS EMPLOYEES SERVE NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH BOARD REPRESENTATION, MEMBERSHIP IN ASSOCIATIONS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES. THE HOSPITAL ALSO SOLICITS THE ASSISTANCE OF OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE THEIR SERVICES AT NO CHARGE THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN VARIOUS COMMUNITY SEMINARS AND TRAINING PROGRAMS. COSTING METHODOLOGY: IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ESTABLISHED POLICIES OF THE HOSPITAL, DURING THE REGISTRATION, BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE CARE FUNDS IS DETERMINED. FOR PATIENTS WHO WERE DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY BUT DID NOT, THE UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS ARE BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM UTILIZES PATIENT-SPECIFIC DATA TO ACCUMULATE AND DERIVE COSTS RELATED TO THESE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS.	BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community Benefit	THE ENTIRE MEDICARE LOSS PRESENTED SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545 INDICATES THAT HOSPITALS OPERATE FOR THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY WHEN IT PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF MEDICARE SHORTFALLS (REDUCING THE BURDEN ON THE GOVERNMENT), AND MANY OF THE MEDICARE PARTICIPANTS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE CHARITY CARE OR OTHER MEANS TESTED PROGRAMS ABSENT BEING ENROLLED IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED IS DETERMINED BY THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM, TSI.	ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection Policy	IF, AT ANY TIME, THE HOSPITAL, OR A COLLECTION AGENCY OR LAW FIRM, RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT A PATIENT IS OR MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS, OR UNDER ANY GOVERNMENTAL OR OTHER PROGRAM, THE HOSPITAL, COLLECTION AGENCY OR LAW FIRM SHALL, CONSISTENT WITH CONNECTICUT LAW, CEASE COLLECTION EFFORTS UNTIL THE HOSPITAL DETERMINES THE PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE. NOTE REGARDING FACILITIES LISTED BELOW: IN TOTAL, THE HOSPITAL OPERATES 16 OTHER FACILITIES. MANY FACILITIES ENGAGE IN MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES, AND THEREFORE, THERE ARE 38 TYPES LISTED BELOW.

Needs Assessment	PART VI, LINE 2 BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL (BH) WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. IN FY 2010, THE HOSPITAL CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT THROUGH THE PRIMARY CARE ACTION GROUP. THE PRIMARY CARE ACTION GROUP IS A COMMUNITY-WIDE GROUP REPRESENTING ALL PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY PLUS OTHER HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. SPECIFIC MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES THE TWO ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS, THE TWO FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE CENTERS, THE LOCAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, AMERICARES, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF BRIDGEPORT, THE BRIDGEPORT OFFICES OF THE DEPARTMENTS OF MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION SERVICES AND SOCIAL SERVICES, AND TWO HEALTH CARE ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS. BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL STAFF LED THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT ON BEHALF OF THE PRIMARY CARE ACTION GROUP, LOOKING AT PAST NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORTS, LOCAL, REGIONAL, STATE AND NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH DATA AND STATE HOSPITAL AND OTHER LOCAL PROVIDER DATA TO IDENTIFY THE KEY HEALTH ISSUES OF THE COMMUNITY. WHERE POSSIBLE, DATA FOR INSURED PATIENTS WAS SPECIFICALLY COMPARED TO THAT OF UNINSURED PATIENTS TO IDENTIFY DIFFERENCES. ADDITIONAL DATA WAS COLLECTED UTILIZING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT UTILIZATION TO ANALYZE THE UNDERLYING CLINICAL REASONS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS COME TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND ARE SUBSEQUENTLY ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL. A GRID WAS DEVELOPED COMPARING ALL THE VARIOUS STUDIES AND IDENTIFYING THE KEY HEALTH ISSUES FOLLOWED BY A LISTING OF SIGNIFICANT HEALTH ISSUES. THIS INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED BACK TO THE PRIMARY CARE ACTION GROUP FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACTION PLAN. INITIATIVES THAT RESULTED FROM THIS WORK INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE TO PREVENT OBESITY AND THE PLANNING FOR A DISPENSARY OF HOPE, A NO COST COMMUNITY PHARMACY MODEL DESIGNED TO ASSIST LOW INCOME, UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS TO RECEIVE THE MEDICATIONS THEY NEED TO STAY HEALTHY. THE RESULTS WERE ALSO SHARED WITH THE UNITED WAY OF EASTERN FAIRFIELD COUNTY TO HELP THEM ASSESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND PRIORITIZE WHERE TO INVEST IN COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS TO MAKE THE LARGEST IMPACT. THIS DATA PROVIDED THE UNITED WAY WITH INSIGHT INTO THE REAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR THE UNDERSERVED THAT THEY HAD NOT FOCUSED ON PREVIOUSLY. THE TWO PRIORITY AREAS SELECTED BY UNITED WAY WERE DENTAL CARE AND OBESITY. AS A RESULT, THE UNITED WAY PROVIDED FUNDING FOR A LOCAL DENTAL PROGRAM AND FOCUSED ADDITIONAL FUNDS ON PROGRAMS TO REDUCE OBESITY AND INCREASE PHYSICAL FITNESS. TWO STAFF FROM BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL PARTICIPATED ON THE UNITED WAY'S HEALTH CARE PANEL. THE DATA FROM THE PRIMARY CARE ACTION GROUP COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT WAS ALSO UTILIZED BY THE CITY OF BRIDGEPORT TO CREATE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY'S COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO BE CONDUCTED IN THE FALL OF 2010. BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL ALSO LED AN ADOPT-A-BLOCK COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP WITH NEIGHBORS FROM THE STREETS SURROUNDING THE HOSPITAL WITH THE GOAL OF HELPING THEM TO IMPROVE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE HOSPITAL IDENTIFIED A VARIETY OF NEEDS AND FACILITATED RESOLUTION OF MANY OF THEM UTILIZING ESTABLISHED PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE CITY OF BRIDGEPORT. THIS IS DISCUSSED MORE UNDER COMMUNITY BUILDING.	NeedsAssessment
Patient Education Assistance	PART VI, LINE 3 THE BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL FREE CARE PROGRAM IS OFFERED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING CHANNELS: THE BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL WEB SITE, NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS, THROUGH A FIRST STATEMENT MAILER SENT TO THE PATIENT, THROUGH THE HOSPITAL'S FRONT ACCESS/REGISTRATION AREAS ON VISIBLE POSTINGS AND COMMUNICATIONS, VISIBLE POSTINGS AND VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS MADE IN THE VIA BILLING AND COLLECTION LINES; AND THROUGH THE FREE CARE DEPARTMENT. IF A PATIENT INQUIRIES ABOUT FREE CARE OR NEEDS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AN APPLICATION IS EITHER SENT OR HANDED TO THE PATIENT TO COMPLETE. INSTRUCTIONS AND INCOME GUIDELINES ACCOMPANY THE APPLICATION IN THE PACKAGE. APPOINTMENTS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND THE AGENCY AND FREE CARE COORDINATORS ARE READILY AVAILABLE EVERY FOURTH MONDAY OF EACH MONTH. IN ADDITION TO THE UNRESTRICTED FREE CARE PROGRAM, THERE ARE ALSO NOMINATED BED FUNDS THAT PATIENTS CAN APPLY FOR IF THEY MEET THE FREE CARE GUIDELINES. FREE CARE ALSO INCORPORATES THE SLIDING SCALE AND CATASTROPHIC SLIDING PROGRAM. SLIDING SCALE IS OFFERED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE AND DO NOT WISH TO APPLY FOR A VALID STATE DENIAL. ELIGIBILITY IS BASED ON FAMILY SIZE AND INCOME. CATASTROPHIC SLIDING SCALE IS FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE OVER THE INCOME THRESHOLD BUT HAVE A BILL PAYABLE TO THE HOSPITAL THAT IS 10% OR GREATER OF THEIR ANNUAL INCOME. IF A PATIENT WISHING TO PARTICIPATE MEETS ALL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES THEN AN APPROVAL LETTER IS SENT TO THE PATIENT. IF A PATIENT IS MISSING INFORMATION OR DENIED, A LETTER TO THAT EFFECT IS SENT TO THE PATIENT WITH AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO PROCESS AN APPEAL. FREE CARE ELIGIBILITY IS VALID FOR SIX MONTHS FROM THE APPROVAL DATE ON THE LETTER AND SLIDING SCALE ELIGIBILITY IS VALID FOR ONE YEAR FROM APPROVAL DATE INDICATED ON LETTER. ANY VISITS BY THE PATIENT TO THE HOSPITAL DURING THIS ELIGIBILITY PERIOD WILL BE TRACKED AND WRITTEN-OFF TO THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE CODE.	PatientEducationAssistance
