Community Benefit Expenditures: 2021
All tax-exempt organizations file a Form 990 with the IRS for every tax year. If the tax-exempt organization operates one or more hospital facilities during the tax year, the organization must attach a Schedule H to Form 990. On Part I of Schedule H, the organization records the expenditures it made during the tax year for various types of community benefits; 9 types are shown on this web tool. By default, this web tool presents community benefit expenditures as a percentage of the organization’s functional expenses, which it reports on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column A. (The more commonly heard term, ‘total operating expenses’, which organizations report to CMS, is generally about 90% of the ‘functional expenses’). The user may change the default to see the dollar expenditures.

Other Useful Tax-exempt Hospital Information: 2021
In addition to community benefit and community building expenditures, the Schedule H worksheet includes sections on what percentage of bad debt can be attributable to patients eligible for financial assistance, and questions on the tax-exempt hospital's debt collection policy. When searching a specific tax-exempt hospital in this web tool, Section II provides information about bad debt and the financial assistance policy, and whether the state in which the tax-exempt hospital resides has expanded Medicaid coverage under the federal ACA.

as % of operating expenses$ 13,232,383 4.17 %Is the tax-exempt hospital considered a "sole community hospital" under the Medicare program? NO - Information about the tax-exempt hospital's Financial Assistance Policy and Debt Collection Policy
The Financial Assistance Policy section of Schedule H has changed over the years. The questions listed below reflect the questions on the 2009-2011 Schedule H forms and the answers tax-exempt hospitals provided for those years. The Financial Assistance Policy requirements were changed under the ACA. In the future, as the Community Benefit Insight web site is populated with 2021 data and subsequent years, the web tool will also be updated to reflect the new wording and requirements. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this section, we encourage you to contact your tax-exempt hospital directly.
Does the organization have a written financial assistance (charity care) policy? YES Did the tax-exempt hospital rely upon Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) to determine when to provide free or discounted care for patients? YES Amount of the tax-exempt hospital’s bad debt (at cost) attributed to patients eligible under the organization’s financial assistance (charity care) policy
as % of operating expenses$ 0 0 %- Did the tax-exempt hospital, or an authorized third party, take any of the following collection activities before determining whether the patient was eligible for financial assistance:
Reported to credit agency Not available Under the ACA, states have the choice to expand Medicaid eligibility for their residents up to 138% of the federal poverty guidelines. The Medicaid expansion provision of the ACA did not go into effect until January 2014, so data in this web tool will not reflect each state's current Medicaid eligibility threshold. For up to date information, please visit the Terms and Glossary under the Resources tab.
After enactment of the ACA, has the state in which this tax-exempt hospital is located expanded Medicaid? NO The federal poverty guidelines (FPG) are set by the government and used to determine eligibility for many federal financial assistance programs. Tax-exempt hospitals often use FPG guidelines in their Financial Assistance policies to determine which patients will qualify for free or discounted care.
If not, is the state's Medicaid threshold for working parents at or below 76% of the federal poverty guidelines? YES In addition to the federal requirements, some states have laws stipulating community benefit requirements as a result of tax-exemption. The laws vary from state to state and may require the tax-exempt hospitals to submit community benefit reports. Data on this web tool captures whether or not a state had a mandatory community benefit reporting law as of 2011. For more information, please see Community Benefit State Law Profiles Comparison at The Hilltop Institute.
Does the state in which the tax-exempt hospital is located have a mandatory community benefit reporting statute? NO
Community Health Needs Assessment Activities: 2021
The ACA requires all 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospitals to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years, starting with the hospital's tax year beginning after March 23, 2012. The 2011 Schedule H included an optional section of questions on the CHNA process. This web tool includes responses for those hospitals voluntary reporting this information. The web tool will be updated to reflect changes in these questions on the 2012 and subsequent Schedule H forms.
Did the tax-exempt hospital report that they had conducted a CHNA? YES Did the CHNA define the community served by the tax-exempt hospital? YES Did the CHNA consider input from individuals that represent the broad interests of the community served by the tax-exempt hospital? YES Did the tax-exempt hospital make the CHNA widely available (i.e. post online)? YES Did the tax-exempt hospital adopt an implementation strategy to address the community needs identified by the CHNA? YES

SECONDARY AND PRIMARY DATA WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED, GENERATING COMMON THEMES FOR THE REGION, COUNTY, AND ZIP CODES. SECONDARY DATA ABOUT HEALTH INDICATORS, HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION AND INSURANCE COVERAGE WAS GATHERED FROM RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE U.S. CENSUS, FLORIDA COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT RESOURCE TOOL SET (CHARTS), THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION'S BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS (BRFSS) DATA, COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY AND HOSPITAL CLAIMS DATA. PRIMARY DATA SOURCES INCLUDED A COMMUNITY SURVEY (3,699 RESPONSES), ACCESS AUDIT INCLUDING 45 MYSTERY SHOPPER CALLS, IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS (105), FOCUS GROUPS (30 GROUPS WITH 250 TOTAL PARTICIPANTS), EQUITY CHAMPIONS (10) PROVIDING DIVERSITY GROUP OUTREACH AND DIGITAL TREND ANALYSIS USED TO ILLUMINATE CHRONIC HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND HEALTH INSIGHTS OVER A SELECTED PERIOD OF TIME. BASED ON THE DATA, APPROXIMATELY 50 GRANULAR, COMMUNITY-BASED, DATA-FOUNDED NEEDS WERE GENERATED. USING THE DATA, THE CENTRAL FLORIDA COLLABORATIVE THAT COMMENCED THE 2022 CHNA SELECTED THE PRIORITIES OR NEEDS FOR THE 2022 CHNA. THE COLLABORATIVE UTILIZED MODIFIED DELPHI METHOD, A MIXED MODALITY APPROACH THAT INCLUDED QUANTITATIVE, QUALITATIVE AND TECHNOLOGY-BASED TECHNIQUES, TO SELECT FOUR TOP NEEDS THAT INCLUDE 15 GRANULAR ISSUES BY ORGANIZATION AND COUNTY. THESE PRIORITIES WERE USED FOR EACH HOSPITAL'S IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY PLAN. THE PRIORITIES FOR EACH COUNTY ARE OUTLINED IN THE COUNTY HEALTH EQUITY SUMMARIES INCLUDED IN THE CHNA. IN ADDITION TO THE PRIORITIES SELECTED BY THE COLLABORATIVE, COUNTY-SPECIFIC SUMMARIES AND HEALTH EQUITY PROFILES WERE PREPARED BY CRESCENDO. THESE SUMMARIES INCLUDE BASIC DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION FOR EACH COUNTY, AS WELL AS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SECTIONS THAT IDENTIFY HEALTH DISPARITIES EXPERIENCED BY DIFFERENT RACE AND ETHNICITIES FOR EACH COUNTY.

ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL IS A SUBSIDIARY OF ORLANDO HEALTH AND FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS, ORLANDO HEALTH HAS PROVIDED FOR THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR LOCAL AND REGIONAL COMMUNITIES, GROWING FROM A SINGLE HOSPITAL INTO AN AWARD-WINNING ORGANIZATION NOW SUPPORTING HEALTHCARE CONSUMERS FROM ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. IT IS OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. ORLANDO HEALTH TO CONSTANTLY WORKS TO IMPROVE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY AND INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE. FOLLOWING OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION SEVERAL FACTORS IN SELECTING HEALTH NEEDS TO ADDRESS. FACTORS INCLUDED: INDIVIDUAL ORLANDO HEALTH - HEALTH CENTRAL HOSPITAL, ORLANDO HEALTH HORIZON WEST HOSPITAL AND ORLANDO HEALTH DATA; COMMUNITY AND HOSPITAL ASSETS; ABILITY TO IMPACT AN ISSUE; CURRENT COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS; COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS; AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION. WE ALSO TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE COUNTY WHERE WE ARE LOCATED, WHICH IS ORANGE COUNTY. BASED ON OUR PROCESS, WE SELECTED ACCESS TO CARE AS OUR PRIORITY HEALTH NEED FROM THE 2022 CHNA. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 WITH OUR FOCUS ON ACCESS TO CARE, ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL DEVELOPED NEW AND ENHANCED EXISTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE. ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL PROVIDED OVER $53 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT IN FISCAL YEAR 2022. IN SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS, WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, 22 GRANT PROPOSALS WERE SUPPORTED THROUGH THE ORLANDO HEALTH COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM. MANY OF THESE GRANTS SERVED RESIDENTS FROM ORANGE COUNTY. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, WE CONTINUED TO ACTIVELY COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. IN 2022, ORLANDO HEALTH SUPPORTED OVER 380 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND PROVIDED 8,832 BOARD MEMBER, COMMITTEE MEMBER AND ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER HOURS. THE CONTINUED EFFECTS OF COVID-19 HAVE FOREVER SHIFTED EFFORTS FOR SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS FROM IN-PERSON SERVICES TO PROVIDE THESE THROUGH MOBILE OPERATIONS OR ONLINE PLATFORMS. THESE OPPORTUNITIES WERE ABLE TO INCREASE ACCESS AND RESOURCES BY CONTINUING TO MEET RESIDENTS IN THEIR HOMES AND COMMUNITIES. EXAMPLES FROM KEY INITIATIVES ARE INCLUDED TO ILLUSTRATE THE TYPES OF SUCCESSES THESE PROGRAMS YIELD. TO ADDRESS CHRONIC ILLNESS IN ORANGE COUNTY, THE ORLANDO HEALTH COMMUNITY BENEFIT TEAM PARTNERED WITH ORANGE BLOSSOM FAMILY HEALTH TO SUPPORT THEIR DIABETES CLINIC. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, PARTICIPANTS WITH UNCONTROLLED DIABETES HAVE INCREASED ACCESS TO A HEIGHTENED LEVEL OF FOCUS AND CARE. THOSE ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM RECEIVE HEALTH EDUCATION AND A TREATMENT PLAN FOCUSED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL DIABETIC SITUATION AS WELL AS NUTRITIONAL GUIDANCE AND A TARGETED MEDICAL CARE PLAN. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, 448 PATIENTS WERE SEEN DURING MORE THAN 850 VISITS OR ENCOUNTERS AT THE CLINIC. OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM, 75 PERCENT IMPROVED THEIR A1C WHEN THEY ATTENDED A THREE-MONTH PROGRAM AND WERE SCREENED AT LEAST TWICE. AMONG THOSE PARTICIPATING AT LEAST THREE MONTHS AND HAVING RANDOM BLOOD SUGARS TAKEN OVER A MINIMUM OF TWO CLINIC VISITS AND THROUGH AT-HOME TESTING, 80 PERCENT REDUCED THEIR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. LASTLY, 65 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS SHOWED AN IMPROVEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR DIABETES THROUGH HEALTH EDUCATION. ORLANDO HEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY SIMILAR PROGRAMS THAT CAN ADDRESS CHRONIC DISEASE AND HELP INCREASE ACCESS TO PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. ORLANDO HEALTH PARTNERED WITH GRACE MEDICAL HOME TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THEIR ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED RESIDENTS OF ORANGE COUNTY AND INCLUDES COUNSELING, MEDICATION MANAGEMENT AND CASE MANAGEMENT. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, THIS PROGRAM PROVIDED ACCESS TO MORE THAN 600 INDIVIDUALS. OF THESE INDIVIDUALS, 146 REFERRALS WERE MADE TO THEIR PSYCHIATRIC APRN WITH A TOTAL OF 186 APPOINTMENTS COMPLETED. THIS PROGRAM ALSO RESULTED IN 177 REFERRALS MADE TO A MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR AND 1,169 APPOINTMENTS MADE TO A MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR. ORLANDO HEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH GRACE MEDICAL HOME TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR THE RESIDENTS OF ORANGE COUNTY. WITH ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE AS ITS PRIORITY, ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL DETERMINED THAT THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WOULD NOT BE EXPLICITLY INCLUDED IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY SO THAT IT COULD MAXIMIZE AVAILABLE RESOURCES FOR ADDRESSING ACCESS TO CARE. HOWEVER, ORLANDO HEALTH - HEALTH CENTRAL HOSPITAL AND ORLANDO HEALTH HORIZON WEST HOSPITAL DOES PROVIDE SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR SEVERAL OF THE REMAINING HEALTH NEEDS. AT THE TIME OF PRIORITIZATION, WE TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE LEVEL TO WHICH SOME OF THE NEEDS WERE ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED IN THE SERVICE AREA, ALONG WITH WHETHER THE IDENTIFIED NEED FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF OUR EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES. FOR THE NEEDS WE DID NOT SELECT WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND SERVICES WHERE APPROPRIATE INCLUDING THROUGH THE ORLANDO HEALTH COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM. IN ADDITION, MANY OF THE NEEDS LISTED BELOW WILL BE IMPACTED BY OUR FOCUS ON ACCESS TO CARE. WITH EFFORTS CONCENTRATED ON ACCESS TO CARE WE ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY IN MULTIPLE ARENAS INSTEAD OF BEING LIMITED TO ONE CONDITION OR NEED. THIS FLEXIBILITY HELPS US BETTER SERVE THE MOST UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

Schedule H, Part II COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IS TO IMPROVE HEALTH IN THE CENTRAL FLORIDA COMMUNITY. WHEN A PARTICULAR PHYSICIAN SPECIALTY IS DEFICIENT IN THE COMMUNITY IN COMPARISON TO THE POPULATION, IT CAN LIMIT ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND RESULT IN POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. TO RECTIFY THOSE WORKFORCE SHORTAGES, ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL MAY HELP RECRUIT PHYSICIANS WHEN A NEED IS IDENTIFIED TO ESTABLISH, ENHANCE OR MAINTAIN A MEDICAL SERVICE IN THE AREA. TO DETERMINE NEED, THE HOSPITAL USES INDEPENDENT HEALTH PLANNING SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS; COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT; AND INDEPENDENTLY MAINTAINED PHYSICIAN DATABASE SOFTWARE. THESE PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT EFFORTS MEET THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT OBJECTIVE OF IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, WHICH IN TURN IMPROVES PUBLIC HEALTH. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS TO RECRUIT COMMUNITY-BASED PHYSICIANS TO HELP COMBAT PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES IN THE COMING FISCAL YEAR.
Schedule H, Part III Line 2 and 4 BAD DEBT EXPENSE REFLECTED IN PART III, LINE 2 REPRESENTS COST OF CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE. BOTH DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS TO ACCOUNTS WILL REDUCE THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, SHOULD THE ACCOUNT BE REPORTED AS BAD DEBT. THAT IS TO SAY, DISCOUNTS APPLIED TO ACCOUNTS ARE NOT REVERSED PRIOR TO DECLARING, ADJUSTING AND/OR WRITING OFF ACCOUNTS AS BAD DEBT. ALL ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE ADJUSTED TO, OR WRITTEN OFF TO, BAD DEBT ARE REVIEWED TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION WAS NOT PROVIDED BY THE ACCOUNT HOLDER, ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL USES PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS TO DETERMINE IF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR ACCOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED TO, OR WRITTEN OFF TO, BAD DEBT. ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL USES DATA DERIVED FROM THIRD PARTIES WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO DEMOGRAPHIC VERIFICATION, INCOME VERIFICATION, HOUSEHOLD SIZE VERIFICATION, PAYMENT HISTORY INFORMATION, PROPERTY OWNERSHIP INFORMATION, OCCUPATION INFORMATION, VEHICLE OWNERSHIP HISTORY AND VALUES AND HOME OWNERSHIP HISTORY AND VALUES. ONCE THIS DATA LOGIC IS APPLIED, IT BECOMES APPARENT IF THE ACCOUNT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF THE ACCOUNT DOES QUALIFY, PREVIOUS UNINSURED DISCOUNTS, BAD DEBT ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR WRITE OFFS ARE REVERSED AND THE NEW BALANCE REFLECTED IS RECLASSIFIED AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR CHARITY, WHICH IS REDUCED TO COST. CONSISTENT WITH THE SYSTEM'S MISSION, CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THEREFORE, THE SYSTEM HAS DETERMINED THAT IT HAS PROVIDED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS AND PATIENTS WITH OTHER UNINSURED BALANCES SUCH AS COPAYS AND DEDUCTIBLES. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMOUNTS BILLED TO PATIENTS AND THE AMOUNTS EXPECTED TO BE COLLECTED BASED ON THE SYSTEM'S COLLECTION HISTORY WITH THOSE PATIENTS IS RECORDED AS IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS, OR AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT REVENUE. SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE DETERMINED TO BE THE RESULT OF AN ADVERSE CHANGE IN THE PATIENT'S OR PAYOR'S ABILITY TO PAY ARE RECOGNIZED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS RECORDED AS A COMPONENT OF OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021 WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT FOR THE SYSTEM. (ORLANDO HEALTH, INC. AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PAGE 17)
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO REPORT THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 AS MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE RELATING TO PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED USING THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL DOES NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. HOWEVER, AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WE PROVIDE EMERGENCY AND REQUIRED CARE TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL STATUS. DESPITE THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL, NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS MUST AND WILL CONTINUE TO CARE FOR THE MEDICARE POPULATION AND ACCEPT THE MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT RATE. CARING FOR THE MEDICARE PATIENT POPULATION FULFILLS A COMMUNITY NEED AND RELIEVES A GOVERNMENT BURDEN AS THIS CLASS OF PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAS LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. THE MEDICARE PATIENT POPULATION IS LARGE AND THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS NECESSITATES THAT NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE DEFICIT. NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK TOWARD IMPROVED HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE AND CARING FOR THE MEDICARE PATIENTS, DESPITE THE SHORTFALL OF REIMBURSEMENT, IS A DIRECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND PROVIDES VALUE DIRECTLY TO THE COMMUNITIES SERVED.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance COLLECTION PRACTICES ARE CONSISTENT FOR ALL PATIENTS AND COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF STATE LAW. DURING PREADMISSION, AT REGISTRATION OR AT BEDSIDE, ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL PROVIDES ALL PATIENTS WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL PERFORMS A THOROUGH EVALUATION OF THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL STATUS TO ENSURE THE UTILIZATION OF ALL DISCOUNTS AND CHARITY CARE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE UNDER THEIR DISCOUNT AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES. THIS DETERMINATION PROCESS IS COMPLETED BEFORE ANY PATIENT'S ACCOUNT PROCEEDS TO COLLECTION. ORLANDO HEALTH CENTRAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION PRACTICES AGAINST PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
