An overall cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 was used to determine the cost of financial assistance provided for services not reported as subsidized health services.Unreimbursed Medicaid costs were also determined using a blend of cost-to-charge ratios for certain services and an overall cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 for all other services.The cost of providing subsidized health services was determined using a cost-to-charge ratio for each service.Actual costs and revenues were utilized for all other items reported on line 7. Part I, Line 7g: Subsidized health services are comprised of services that the Hospital provides despite a financial loss to the organization. These services include the operation of a 24-hour emergency room, physician clinics, diabetic and dietician services, and various therapy services. The amount of costs attributed to physician clinics amount to $6,653,022. Part III, Line 4: The Hospital recognizes patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients who have third-party payor coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services rendered. For uninsured patients that do not qualify for charity care, the Hospital recognizes revenue on the basis of its standard rates for services provided. On the basis of historical experience, a significant portion of the Hospital's uninsured patients will be unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided. Thus, the Hospital records a significant provision for bad debts related to uninsured patients in the period the services are provided.Part III, Line 2:Bad debt expense at cost was determined by utilizing departmental cost-to-charge ratios for financial assistance provided in areas that are reported as subsidized health services.

This improves the health of our community as a whole. Part III, Line 8: Medicare allowable costs were determined by using amounts from the Hospital's Medicare cost report as filed with the Medicare Administrative Contractor. The Medicare cost report apportions actual costs to the Medicare program using charges for ancillary services and patient days for nursing services. Caring for Medicare patients fulfills a community need and relieves a government burden as these patients typically have low or fixed income. Therefore, any shortfall should be included as a community benefit. Part III, Line 9b: The collection policy states that the patient must cooperate with the Hospital to provide the information and documentation necessary to apply for other existing financial resources that may be available to pay for health care services, such as Medicaid. Then the information is gathered and assessed in order to determine eligibility for charity care. Whenever possible, prior to admission, the Hospital will conduct a pre-admission interview with the patient, the guarantor, and/or the patient's legal representative. Those patients who may qualify for financial assistance from a governmental program will be referred to the appropriate program, prior to the consideration for charity care.
