A COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS USED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 6.IT IS THE HOSPITAL'S BELIEF THAT THE SHORTFALL REFLECTED ON PART III, LINE 7 SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE REGARDLESS OF THIS SHORTFALL AND THEREBY RELIEVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. 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.

PART III, LINE 9B:
PATIENTS IN THE PROCESS OF QUALIFYING FOR GOVERNMENT OR HOSPITAL LOW-INCOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS WILL NOT BE ASSIGNED TO COLLECTIONS PRIOR TO 150 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF INITIAL BILLING. ADDITIONALLY, LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE HOSPITAL ARE REASONABLY COOPERATING TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING HOSPITAL BILL, WILL NOT BE SENT TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY IF DOING SO WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE PATIENT'S CREDIT.
