Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C: AN INDIVIDUAL'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS PRIMARILY BASED ON A COMPARISON OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME TO THE FECDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. HOWEVER, A PATIENT MAY PRESUMPTIVELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIOSN: (A) PARTICIPATE IN STATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, SUCH AS FOOD STAMPS, WELFARE, AND PHARMACEUTICAL ASSISTANCE; (B) CURRENTLY COVERED UNDER MEDICAID, BUT NOT ELIGIBLE ON THE DATE OF SERVICE; AND (C) ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID EMERGENCY OR PREGNANCY SERVICES ONLY. FOR PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE, A PAYMENT, DENIAL OR BENEFIT SUMMARY FROM THE INSURER MUST BE PROVIDED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AVAILABLE NON-ESSENTIAL ASSETS ARE ALSO TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN DETERMINING AN INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO PAY.
PART I, LINE 7: THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSES AND REVENUES WERE CALCULATED USING THE IRS WORKSHEETS PROVIDED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 127,583.
PART III, LINE 2: IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, THE HOSPITAL RECORDS A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS 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.
PART III, LINE 3: THE HOSPITAL CANNOT ESTIMATE WITH REASONABLE ACCURACY THE PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT DID NOT COMPLETE AN APPLICATION.
PART III, LINE 4: SEE THE "PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" PARAGRAPH IN NOTE 2 (PAGES 10-11) IN THE ATTACHED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

PART III, LINE 9B: POLICIES IN EFFECT DURING 2016 ARE THE SAME AS CARSON-TAHOE HEALTH SYSTEM AND CARSON TAHOE REGIONAL HEALTHCARE. THE APPLICATION PERIOD FOR COMPLETION OF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE FOR A MINIMUM OF 240 DAYS FROM THE TIME OF PATIENT SERVICE.
PART VI, LINE 2: THE MOST CURRENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED IN 2016. NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED USING DIRECT PATIENT AND PHYSICIAN FEEDBACK, SURVEY RESPONSES AND BEST PRACTICE INFORMATION FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE PREVIOUS NEEDS ASSESSMENT CONDUCTED IN 2010 RECOGNIZED THE COMMUNITY'S NEED FOR BETTER ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. IN RESPONSE, CARSON TAHOE HAS ESTABLISHED CARDIOLOGY CLINICS AND CLINICS AT WALMART IN OUTLYING AREAS. THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM RELIES ON INTELLIMED SERVICES TO REPORT INFORMATION ON MIGRATION OF SERVICES WITHIN THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MARKETS THEN UTILIZES INFORMATION GATHERED TO FORMULATE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. OUR HEALTHCHECK LABORATORY SERVICES OFFER HEALTH SCREENING AT DISCOUNTED RATES AS A RESULT OF FEEDBACK FROM PHYSICIANS AND COMMUNITY REQUESTS. WE WORK WITH NEVADA STATE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES IN IDENTIFYING AREAS OF NEED. CDC AND INFECTION CONTROL MONITOR INDUSTRY TRENDS AND ADVISE POSSIBLE AREAS OF FOCUS.
