DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM; WOMEN, INFANTS & CHILDREN (WIC); AND VARIOUS COUNTY AND STATE RELIEF PROGRAMS. THIRD PARTY AGENCIES ARE USED TO ASSIST WITH COLLECTIONS AND, IF THOSE AGENCIES PROVIDE A STATEMENT REGARDING A PATIENT'S LIKELY INCOME LEVEL, THAT INFORMATION IS USED IN DETERMINING THE ELIGIBILITY STATUS AND THE LEVEL OF DISCOUNT AVAILABLE. STATE LAW REQUIREMENTS THAT OFFER ADDITIONAL AND/OR MORE STRINGENT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE FOLLOWED FOR THOSE STATES.

PART I, LINE 6A:
ST. LUKE'S/JONES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE IOWA HEALTH SYSTEM COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH CAN BE LOCATED AT WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG. THIS SYSTEM-WIDE REPORT IS COMPLETED IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT FOR THE HOSPITAL AND ITS REGIONAL AFFILIATES.

PART I, LINE 7:
A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO (FROM WORKSHEET 2) IS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS ON LINE 7A. THE AMOUNTS ON LINES 7B-7C (UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS) ARE OBTAINED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. THE AMOUNTS FOR LINES 7E, F, H, AND I WOULD COME FROM THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF SPECIFIC SEGMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ARE BASED ON COST. THE AMOUNTS ON 7G ARE DERIVED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.

PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE ESSENTIAL ROLES FOR HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS IN THAT THEY ADDRESS MANY OF THE UNDERLYING DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. RESEARCH HAS CONTINUALLY SHOWN THAT WHEN THE FACTORS INFLUENCING HEALTH ARE EXPLORED, HEALTH CARE ACTUALLY PLAYS THE SMALLEST ROLE PROPORTIONATELY. A REPORT IN THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL (MCGINNIS, 1996) SUGGESTS THAT THE FACTORS IMPACTING HEALTH ARE AS FOLLOWS: LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIORS, 50%, ENVIRONMENT (HUMAN AND NATURAL), 20%, GENETICS AND HUMAN BIOLOGY, 20%, AND HEALTH CARE, 10%. COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES HELP TO ADDRESS THE OTHER INDICATORS OUTSIDE OF THE ROLE TRADITIONALLY PLAYED BY HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY DONE IN SOME FORM OF PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE BETTER SUITED TO ADDRESS. HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS GENERALLY PROVIDE TIMELY AND SPECIFIC RESOURCES TO HELP THESE ISSUES. HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS CAN BE A RICH AND VALUABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCE IN WAYS NOT TYPICALLY CONSIDERED. OFTEN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP IMPACT AND IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS IS TO SUPPORT OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS OUTSIDE OF HEALTH SERVICES. THIS IS OFTEN DONE THROUGH CASH OR IN-KIND SERVICES TO SUPPORT OTHER NON-PROFITS, DONATIONS OF DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO CERTAIN AGENCIES, OR THROUGH LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERTISE. THESE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES SPEAK TO THE BREADTH AND CAPACITY THAT THE HOSPITAL HAS IN IMPACTING THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY IN A COMPREHENSIVE AND INTENTIONAL APPROACH.

PART III, LINE 4:
THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THE HEALTH SYSTEM BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYERS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT.THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 2 WAS CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET 2 'RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES' TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR ST. LUKE'S JONES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER. THIS RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED AGAINST THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS USING IRS WORKSHEET A TO ARRIVE AT THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST REPORTED ON LINE 2.

PART III, LINE 8:
AMOUNTS ON LINE 6 WERE CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET B 'TOTAL MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS.' THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS AND THEN REDUCED BY ANY AMOUNTS ALREADY CAPTURED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE IN PART I ABOVE.THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONFERRED IN THIS AREA. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B WAS DETERMINED USING INFORMATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. HOWEVER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DISALLOWS CERTAIN ITEMS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE LEGITIMATE EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE PROCESS OF CARING FOR OUR MEDICARE PATIENTS. EXAMPLES OF THESE ITEMS INCLUDE PROVIDER BASED PHYSICIAN EXPENSE, SELF INSURANCE EXPENSE, HOME OFFICE EXPENSE AND THE SHORTFALL FROM FEE SCHEDULE PAYMENTS. IN ADDITION TO THESE ITEMS THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM DO NOT INCLUDE MEDICARE PHYSICIAN FEE SCHEDULE EXPENSE AND OFFSETTING REVENUE.THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, MORE SPECIFICALLY, AS CHARITY CARE. THE ELDERLY CONSTITUTE A CLEARLY-RECOGNIZED CHARITABLE CLASS, AND MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR AND THUS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, MEDICAID OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS. FINALLY, THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS.

PART III, LINE 9B:
AFTER THE PATIENT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS PARTIALLY OR ENTIRELY WRITTEN OFF, AS APPROPRIATE. ANY REMAINING BALANCE, IF ANY, WOULD BE COLLECTED UNDER THE NORMAL DEBT COLLECTION POLICY.

PART VI, LINE 2:
