        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 5: Three methods were used to collect primary data: three community meetings, a smaller community focus group meeting, and an online survey between October 2024 and December 2024. The process for this CHNA began with planning in September 2024 through completion at the end of December 2024. An eight-person planning team coordinated the process, but input was received from RGH staff, community members, and partners. An online survey was distributed throughout the service area and three community meetings were held to collect primary qualitative and quantitative data. Many agencies representing vulnerable and underrepresented populations were present to provide input. Additional data sources, including a broad range of primary and secondary data collected by the San Luis Valley Public Health Partnership (SLV PHP) for their most current (2023) five-year regional Community Health Assessment were examined for trends and key focus areas.</ExplanationTxt>

Therefore, if there is a Medicare shortfall the entire Medicare shortfall is considered a community benefit.Medicare allowable costs of care are based on the Medicare Cost Report. The Medicare Cost Report is completed based on the rules and regulations set forth by CMS.Hospital services reimbursed on a fee schedule are not included in the Medicare calculation per the 990 instructions.

        <ExplanationTxt>The Organization requires payment in full upon receipt of the bill. If payment in full is not plausible the patient must establish a payment plan within 120 days from the date of the invoice for the services provided or it will be released to a collection agency to recover these payments. The Hospital does not charge interest on the accounts with payment plans that extend beyond 12 months. For patients that are known to qualify for charity care or financial assistance the State of Colorado requires them to complete a form to apply under one of the two policies offered: Colorado's Indigient Care (CICP) program for state residents or the alternative policy for patients that do not qualify under the CICP program. Patients have 90 days upon the day of service to complete the application. If the remaining patient balance on accounts that qualify under these charity care policies is greater than $25 it will fall under the hospital collection policy guidelines. Balances under $25 can be written off as an administrative adjustment. The Hospital staff discusses these options with these patients, as well as the Business Office that handles the collection of payments. These policies are also posted throughout the Hospital. The Hospital has the administrative authority to write off any amounts they deem will be charity care, such as those that are medically indigent and those amounts under the $25 threshold. The policy states accounts eligible for financial assistance are to be addressed within 240 days of the first bill. If, during the collection process, it is determined that an account in collection belongs to a patient who is eligible for financial assistance, the account will be removed from collection and returned to the hospital for resolution.</ExplanationTxt>
