Percent Of Total Expense Expln	To calculate the percentage of total expense, bad debt expense of $3,125,730 was removed from total expenses.	PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt Footnote	The provision for bad debts is based on management's assessment of historical and expected net collection considering business and economic conditions, trends in healthcare coverage, and other collection indicators. Throughtout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon these trends. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for bad debts to establish an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Accounts receivable are written off after all collection efforts have been followed in accordance with Aspirus' policies. Bad Debt Policy and Procedure: I. Wausau Hospital's financial policy requires settlement of a patient bill in one of four manners: A. Payment in full in 45 days. B. 3-4 equal monthly payments. C. Placing the account on a medical note. D. Special arrangements made through the Financial Counselor. II. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the account being considered a bad debt once all collection efforts have been exhausted. The account will be removed from accounts receivable and turned over to an outside agency for collection. Prior to this happening, the following criteria must be met: A. Patient Financial Services staff will make reasonable collection efforts by way of: 1. Monthly statements 2. Collection letters 3. Collection phone calls III. The number of statement (minimum of 3) and collection letters (minimum of 1) is determined by the parameters set to the financial codes. Collection calls are made Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. IV. All collection activity and patient contacts will be completely documented electronically on the individual accounts. V. A Medicare account must be over 120 days outstanding from the date of the initial bill to the patient before it can be considered a bad debt and placed with a collection agency. Commercial and Self-pay accounts that have received their final 10-day letter could then be considered a bad debt and placed with a collection agency. A default order with the state can be filed for Worker's Compensation accounts that are over $5,000.00 with no response from the insurer after 60 days. The state will send a letter to the insurer requesting the review and will allow the insurer 20 days to respond. VI. All collection accounts are to be treated the same regardless of payor type: self-pay, general insurance, Medicare, or Medical Assistance. VII. Patient Financial Services staff will use sound business judgment when working with the account. At the discretion of the Financial Counselor, credit reports will be requested from the Credit Bureau and property verification obtained through the County Treasurer's Office. VIII. All individuals qualifying for Community Care under the Hospital's policy are considered indigent. These accounts are written to the Community Care allowance once eligibility is determined. There is no minimum waiting period.	BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community Benefit	The costing methodology is CMS2552 as filed cost report. Aspirus Wausau Hospital feels that the medicare shortfall should be treated as a community benefit. Aspirus is there to treat the community and they have a large percentage of medicare benefit patients. If those patients were to be refused, then they would not receive healthcare.	ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection Policy	Aspirus Wausau Hospital uses reasonable efforts to determine if financial assistance should be offered before assigning a case to a collection agency. Aspirus informs patients and offers them charity care application forms at the time of registration, in emergency rooms, financial service offices, the billing office, and on statements and letters. Aspirus only pursues the applicants who complete the forms in their entirety.	DebtCollectionPolicy

Needs Assessment	In many ways, Aspirus Wausau Hospital is a leader in needs assessment. It has developed strong partnerships with the Marathon County Health Department and with the United Way of Marathon County. These two organizations have spear headed initiatives to assess the community's health needs and other needs. In 1996, the United Way led a collaborative effort to perform a community health assessment that focused on data rather than perception. With support from Aspirus and other community partners, the United Way performed a community assessment and published in June 1997 the first issue of what was called the Marathon County LIFE Report. Since that time, Aspirus Wausau Hospital has maintained strong involvement in the community assessment process, from pledging cash support and in-kind donations to steering committee members. The seventh and most recent version of the needs assessment identified five Key Calls to Action: o Alcohol Use/Abuse o Basic Needs - Food and Housing/Jobs o Domestic Abuse/Child Abuse and Neglect o Early Childhood Success o Healthy Lifestyles - Obesity, Oral Health, Tobacco In addition to the above-listed five health priorities, the 2009-2011 LIFE Report also identified "Elder Issues" as an issue to watch. As the largest local health care provider, Aspirus Wausau Hospital has a mission and ability to address Healthy Lifestyles. Here's what the report summary said about the issue: "Preventing behaviors that increase the risk of serious health issues and improving people's health and wellness can positively affect their productivity, lower their health care costs, and lengthen life expectancy." Here are some facts about Marathon County: o Of surveyed residents, 29 percent did not have health insurance for part or all of the previous year. That is up from 14 percent in 2007 9 percent in 2005. o Of surveyed residents, 52 percent said they get physical activity three or more days per week, meaning that 48 percent don't exercise regularly. o In 2008, 18 percent of the adult population was reported as smokers. That number was unchanged from 2007, and down just 1 percent from 2006. o In 2009, the LIFE Report found that, based on Body Mass Index, 37 percent of the population was obese and another 27 percent of the population was overweight. In addition to the United Way's Marathon County LIFE Report, which is produced every two years, Aspirus also works closely with the Marathon County Health Department to produce a separate report called Healthy Marathon County. The first such report was completed in 2003, and a second report identified needs for 2006-2010. It was intended to: o Analyze health data to identify and prioritize health needs of Marathon County residents and monitor change over time. o Develop coordinated and collaborative action plans to address the priorities o Engage community leaders to commit resources towards health improvement o Help Marathon County residents improve their health. In certain ways, this report is a wonderful blueprint for Aspirus Wausau Hospital's community benefits activities, because it identified health priorities and created action teams to address them. Based on expert interviews and a household survey, Healthy Marathon County identified seven health priorities: o Alcohol Use and Misuse o Concerns About The Cost of Health Care o Health Care for the Elderly o Obesity and Related Disorders o Suicide and Mental Health o Tobacco Use and Exposure o Utilization of Prenatal Care The following link provides wonderful context for the action teams that were created - often with leadership from Aspirus Wausau Hospital experts - to address the health priorities. http://healthymarathoncounty.org/_support/doc/Marathon%20County%20Comm unity%20Health%20Assessment%202006-2010.ppt#257,1,Marathon County Community Health Assessment 2006-2010	NeedsAssessment
Patient Education Assistance	Aspirus Wausau Hospital makes lists of available government assistance programs available to patients and families in the cashier's office, which is located off the main lobby. In addition, all patients are made aware of Aspirus Wausau Hospital's financial aid programs through statements and follow-up letters. Financial counselors seek to meet one-on-one with any patients who do not have insurance, so counselors can explain all options available.	PatientEducationAssistance

CommunityInformation
Community Building Activities	As any good corporate citizen, Aspirus Wausau Hospital is involved in a wide range of community building activities. And while some of these are undertaken simply because there is a community need and Aspirus is in a position to help, others are undertaken for much more specific reasons. The goal of Aspirus Wausau Hospital's community benefits activities is to address key community health issues as identified by two community needs assessments: The Marathon County LIFE Report spear headed by the United Way of Marathon County, and the Healthy Marathon County Report produced by the Marathon County Health Department. As explained in Question Two of this section, Aspirus Wausau Hospital collaborated with the United Way and the county health department in the design and production of these reports. The following is a list of "Community Building" activities reported in Part II and brief descriptions of them. Economic Development (F2) o Centergy (Administration): Centergy is an organization comprising business and civic leaders, working together to address the region's workforce, business and community development needs. It works to encourage business sector development, support local businesses, attract new businesses, achieve growth for higher education facilities, and improve life in general for all central Wisconsin residents. o Central Wausau Program (Administration): This is another community development program that combines the vision, resources and efforts of many partners throughout the Wausau area. o City County IT Meeting (Administration): This group collaborates to address information technology issues in Wausau and Marathon County.

McDEVCO is committed to business growth, as well as providing a high quality of life and building strong communities in the Marathon County Region. Community Support (F3) o Boy Scouts of America (Administration): BSA has a thriving council, the Samoset, located in Wausau. This organization encourages the physical, civic, social and educational development of boys and Aspirus Wausau Hospital supports its efforts. BSA activities help address two of the Marathon County LIFE Report's Key Calls to Action: Early Childhood Success, and Healthy Lifestyles. o Boys and Girls Club (Administration): The Boys and Girls Club of the Wausau Area seeks to inspire and enable youth of all backgrounds to develop the self-esteem, character and skills necessary to become caring, productive community members and leaders. The Club serves about 10,500 kids through membership and outreach activities each year, and helps Aspirus Wausau Hospital and other community partners address two of the Marathon County LIFE Report's Key Calls to Action: Early Childhood Success, and Healthy Lifestyles. o Rotary (Administration): Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise. The local club has about 85 members and truly benefits the community. o United Way (Administration): Aspirus Wausau Hospital has deep and longstanding involvement with the local United Way. As a pacesetter organization, Aspirus demonstrates leadership in its internal support campaign to benefit the United Way, which has restructured to follow a road map to community success that directs its support to organizations that improve Education, Health and Income in the community. o Wausau Child Care (Administration): Aspirus Wausau Hospital supports this not-for-profit provider of child care services. This helps address the Marathon County LIFE Report's Key Call to Action: Early Childhood Success. o YMCA Foundation (Administration): The YMCA provides family-centered, values-focused programs that build healthy spirits, minds and bodies. This helps address the Marathon County LIFE Report's Key Call to Action of Early Childhood Success, and the Healthy Marathon County Report's Health Priority of Obesity and Related Disorders. o YWCA of Wausau (Administration): The YWCA of Wausau is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, dignity and freedom for all. The focus on women, girls and families addresses the Marathon County LIFE Report's Key Call to Action of Early Childhood Success. Coalition Building (F6) o Footprints to Health (Heart and Vascular Institute): This program was begun by an action team - Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) - that was created to address the Healthy Marathon County Report's Health Priority of Obesity and Related Disorders. The program was designed to increase physical activity and the consumption of fruits and vegetables. o Healthy Eating Active Living (Heart and Vascular Institute): As mentioned above, this action team was established to address the Healthy Marathon County Report's Health Priority of Obesity and Related Disorders. Aspirus employees have had leadership roles in this action team's activities, and continue to participate in efforts to increase physical activity and health eating habits in Marathon County. o Healthy Babies for Marathon County (Women's Health Administration): This action team was established to address the Healthy Marathon County Report's Health Priority of Utilization of Prenatal Care and the Marathon County LIFE Report's Key Call to Action of Early Childhood Success.

CommunityBuildingActivities
Other Information	Aspirus Wausau Hospital is a true community organization. It was created three decades ago when community members came together and decided that the two local hospitals operating in that day could be more effective and more efficient if they merged into one larger facility. Today, that community leadership and vision is maintained. Aspirus Wausau Hospital is guided by a community board of directors, which the organization's bylaws state must consist of eight or nine physicians and 11 to 14 community members. This board helps ensure that strategic and operational decisions made at Aspirus Wausau Hospital are made with the community's best interest in mind. In addition, Aspirus Wausau Hospital maintains an open medical staff, meaning that it extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the community. As a not-for-profit organization, Aspirus Wausau Hospital reinvests surplus funds in health services for the community. For example, new technology that advances care and improved access to health services are areas these surplus funds are applied. Aspirus Wausau Hospital also works collaboratively with other health care and academic entities to offer professional health education opportunities that benefit the communities. For example, the University of Wisconsin Wausau Family Medicine Residency Program is based on the Aspirus Wausau Hospital medical campus, and produces skilled, dedicated family medicine physicians. The vast majority of residency graduates end up practicing in north central Wisconsin, making the residency program incredibly valuable to the ongoing easy access to high-quality primary health care. Aspirus Wausau Hospital is also the vehicle by which extensive volunteer efforts are organized. There are more than 1,000 Aspirus Volunteers who support the provision of excellent medical care at the hospital and in other venues. These volunteers also provide valuable community outreach through the Lifeline home health monitoring program, the HANDS program that teaches young children the importance of hand hygiene, and Meals on Wheels. Aspirus Wausau Hospital also supports valuable clinical research through the Cardiovascular Research and Education (CaRE) Foundation and through the Aspirus Regional Cancer Center. The CaRE Foundation has about 10 open trials at any given time, and seeks to advance the safe, effective and compassionate practice of cardiovascular medicine in north central Wisconsin. Through our research affiliation with the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center in Madison, we are a part of a satellite system called Wisconsin Oncology Network offering clinical trials to patients with advanced disease. In addition, we are also able to offer federally sponsored studies available through the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and the Radiologic Therapy Oncology Group.	OtherInformation
Affiliated Health Care System	Aspirus Wausau Hospital is one of five hospitals under the Aspirus, Inc. umbrella. While each of the other four hospitals is a small, critical access facility, though, Aspirus Wausau Hospital is a regional tertiary care facility. The Aspirus system is relatively young, especially in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where two of the critical access hospitals are located. These facilities all operate as local sources of charity care and strong corporate citizens. In fact, Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital received in January 2011 the Winks Gundlach Award for strong and consistent support of the Keweenaw Community Foundation. This commitment to local community is reflected throughout the Aspirus service area. In Wausau, Wis. the Aspirus Health Foundation raises money for various health related initiatives in the community and within Aspirus. In addition to raising money and receiving community gifts, the Foundation also determines the best way to utilize its resources to make the biggest impact on the community. Throughout the Aspirus service area, affiliated foundations serve the needs of their respective communities: o The Community Health Foundation serves Antigo, Wis. and surrounding communities. o Memorial Health Center Foundation serves Medford, Wis. and surrounding communities. o Aspirus Ontonagon Foundation serves Ontonagon, Mi. and surrounding communities. While Aspirus has grown and expanded its service area rapidly in the past five years, system leaders are making a concerted effort to collaborate internally, to make the continuum of care as seamless as possible for customers. This means providing high-quality, efficient service from primary care to specialty services and post-acute care such as rehabilitation and home care. By integrating services, and communicating effectively among providers, Aspirus is better able to meet patient needs and improve outcomes. This could be the most important community benefit of all.
