MAKING QUALITY PATIENT CARE AVAILABLE TO ALL IN OUR COMMUNITY, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ECONOMIC MEANS, QUALIFIES BAD DEBTS AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.EXPLANATION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSEOUR TOTAL EXPENSE FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) WAS $2,387,419,901. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS INCLUDED IN FORM 990, PART VIII, LINES 2A, 2B AND 2D AS REQUIRED BY ASU 2011-07, PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR CERTAIN HEALTH CARE ENTITIES. THEREFORE, BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NOT INCLUDED ON PART IX, STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES, LINE 25, COLUMN (A). PART III, LINE 2: BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN PART III, LINE 2 IS THE AMOUNT RECORDED IN FMLH STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS. FMLH PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION, AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND TRENDS. PART III, LINE 3: THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ALLOWS FOR ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT TO BE APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF THE PATIENT MEETS THE CRITERIA. THERE ARE POSSIBLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT, ALTHOUGH THE EXACT PERCENTAGE IS UNKNOWN AS WE DO NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS TO DETERMINE THIS PERCENTAGE ACCURATELY. PART III, LINE 4: PATIENTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, FROEDTERT HEALTH, INC. (FH) ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, FH ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), FH RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.FH 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, FH RECOGNIZES REVENUE ON THE BASIS OF ITS STANDARD RATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED (OR ON THE BASIS OF DISCOUNTED RATES, IF NEGOTIATED OR PROVIDED BY POLICY). ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF FH'S UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, FH RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. PART III, LINE 8: FMLH AND FBRH DO NOT LIMIT THE CARE AVAILABLE TO ANY PATIENTS, INCLUDING THOSE COVERED BY MEDICARE. FMLH AND FBRH RECEIVE MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT INTENDED TO COVER CARE FOR THE MEDICALLY INDIGENT PATIENTS REFLECTED IN PART I.
