PART III, QUESTION 4
THE ORGANIZATION MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO QUALIFY THOSE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE. IF A PATIENT HAS APPLIED FOR CHARITY CARE, HAS BEEN APPROVED TO RECEIVE CHARITY CARE, OR IS COOPERATING WITH THE HOSPITAL'S EFFORTS TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING BILL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD, THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT PURSUE COLLECTIONS. 1. AUDIT FOOTNOTE THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE OF SUTTER HEALTH WHICH UNDERWENT A SYSTEM-WIDE AUDIT. THE AUDIT REPORT DOES NOT INCLUDE A BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE. PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS LISTED ON A SEPARATE LINE ITEM IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE AUDIT DOES INCLUDE FOOTNOTES FOR PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES LISTED BELOW. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AUDIT FOOTNOTE: SUTTER'S PRIMARY CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK IS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, WHICH CONSIST OF AMOUNTS OWED BY VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, INSURANCE COMPANIES AND PRIVATE PATIENTS. SUTTER MANAGES THE RECEIVABLES BY REGULARLY REVIEWING ITS PATIENT ACCOUNTS AND CONTRACTS AND BY PROVIDING APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCES FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS. SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF GROSS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE AS FOLLOWS: MEDICARE 28% AS OF 12/31/10 27% AS OF 12/31/09 MEDI-CAL 20% AS OF 12/31/10 20% AS OF 12/31/09 DURING 2010 AND 2009, CERTAIN AFFILIATES COLLECTED ON ACCOUNTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE AND RESERVED. SUCH RECOVERIES ARE RECOGNIZED IN THE PERIOD THAT CASH IS RECEIVED AND WERE NOT MATERIAL. DUE TO THE INHERENT VARIABILITY IN THIS AREA OF PATIENT RECEIVABLE COLLECTIONS, THERE IS AT LEAST A REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT RECORDED ESTIMATES WILL CHANGE BY A MATERIAL AMOUNT IN THE NEAR TERM. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES FOOTNOTE: PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. ESTIMATED SETTLEMENTS UNDER THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS ARE ACCRUED IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS, PRIMARILY AS A RESULT OF FINAL COST REPORT SETTLEMENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES. 2. METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING BAD DEBT (AT COST) THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT IS REPORTED ON LINE 2. DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO REVENUE, NOT BAD DEBT EXPENSE. 3. METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT LIKELY ATTRIBUTABLE TO CHARITY CARE AMOUNTS MAY BE INCLUDED IN BAD DEBT PENDING A CHARITY CARE DETERMINATION. UPON ELIGIBILITY THESE AMOUNTS WOULD BE RECLASSIFIED AS CHARITY CARE.

PART III, QUESTION 7
MEDICARE COST REPORTS THAT THE ORGANIZATION FILES DO NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE COSTS REQUIRED TO TREAT MEDICARE PATIENTS. THEREFORE THE AMOUNT REFLECTED ON THE COST REPORT WILL LIKELY DIFFER FROM ACTUAL COSTS WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT AND ON THIS FORM.

PART III, QUESTION 8
COSTING METHODOLOGY MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. COMMUNITY BENEFIT MEDICARE SHORTFALL THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. CARING FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS FULFILLS A COMMUNITY NEED AND RELIEVES A GOVERNMENT BURDEN AS THESE PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAVE LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. MEDICARE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS FORCING THE HOSPITAL TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE DEFICIT OF $29,913,252.

PART III, QUESTION 9B
COLLECTION PRACTICES ARE CONSISTENT FOR ALL PATIENTS AND COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA LAW. DURING PREADMISSION OR REGISTRATION, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES ALL PATIENTS WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AN UNINSURED PATIENT WHO INDICATES THE FINANCIAL INABILITY TO PAY A BILL IS EVALUATED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PATIENTS WILL BE GIVEN AN APPLICATION WHICH WILL DOCUMENT THE PATIENT'S OVERALL FINANCIAL SITUATION. IF AN UNINSURED PATIENT DOES NOT COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FORM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF DELIVERY, THE HOSPITAL WILL NOTIFY THE PATIENT THAT THE APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED AND WILL PROVIDE THE PATIENT AN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. IF A PATIENT HAS APPLIED FOR CHARITY CARE, HAS BEEN APPROVED TO RECEIVE CHARITY CARE, OR IS COOPERATING WITH THE HOSPITAL'S EFFORTS TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING BILL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD, THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT PURSUE COLLECTIONS.
