Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 6A: METHODIST MEDICAL CENTER OF ILLINOIS' COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE UNITYPOINT HEALTH COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH CAN BE LOCATED AT WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG. THIS SYSTEM-WIDE REPORT IS COMPLETED IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT FOR THE HOSPITAL AND ITS REGIONAL AFFILIATES.
PART I, LINE 7: A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO (FROM WORKSHEET 2) IS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS ON LINE 7A. THE AMOUNTS ON LINES 7B-7C (UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS) ARE OBTAINED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. THE AMOUNTS FOR LINES 7E, F, H, AND I WOULD COME FROM THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF SPECIFIC SEGMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ARE BASED ON COST. THE AMOUNTS ON 7G ARE DERIVED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.
PART I, LINE 7G: METHODIST SUBSIDIZES SEVERAL PEDIATRIC HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDING PEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGY ALONG WITH CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY INPATIENT HEALTH SERVICES AND PERINATOLOGY AT THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO SUBSIDIZED HOSPICE, IN-SCHOOL HEALTH AND GERIATRIC SERVICES IN 2016.
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 $ 85,894.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE ESSENTIAL ROLES FOR HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS IN THAT THEY ADDRESS MANY OF THE UNDERLYING DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. RESEARCH HAS CONTINUALLY SHOWN THAT WHEN THE FACTORS INFLUENCING HEALTH ARE EXPLORED, HEALTH CARE ACTUALLY PLAYS THE SMALLEST ROLE PROPORTIONATELY. A REPORT IN THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL (MCGINNIS, 1996) SUGGESTS THAT THE FACTORS IMPACTING HEALTH ARE AS FOLLOWS: LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIORS, 50%, ENVIRONMENT (HUMAN AND NATURAL), 20%, GENETICS AND HUMAN BIOLOGY, 20%, AND HEALTH CARE, 10%. COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES HELP TO ADDRESS THE OTHER INDICATORS OUTSIDE OF THE ROLE TRADITIONALLY PLAYED BY HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY DONE IN SOME FORM OF PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE BETTER SUITED TO ADDRESS. HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS GENERALLY PROVIDE TIMELY AND SPECIFIC RESOURCES TO HELP THESE ISSUES. HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS CAN BE A RICH AND VALUABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCE IN WAYS NOT TYPICALLY CONSIDERED. OFTEN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP IMPACT AND IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS IS TO SUPPORT OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS OUTSIDE OF HEALTH SERVICES. THIS IS OFTEN DONE THROUGH CASH OR IN-KIND SERVICES TO SUPPORT OTHER NON-PROFITS, DONATIONS OF DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO CERTAIN AGENCIES, OR THROUGH LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERTISE. METHODIST CONTRIBUTES TO MANY AREA COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS HELP BUILD ACTIVITIES IN THE AREAS OF ECONOMIC AND HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT. THESE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES SPEAK TO THE BREADTH AND CAPACITY THAT THE HOSPITAL HAS IN IMPACTING THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY IN A COMPREHENSIVE AND INTENTIONAL APPROACH.
PART III, LINE 4: THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THE HEALTH SYSTEM BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYERS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT.THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 2 WAS CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET 2 'RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES' TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR THE FINLEY HOSPITAL. THIS RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED AGAINST THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS USING IRS WORKSHEET A TO ARRIVE AT THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST REPORTED ON LINE 2.
PART III, LINE 8: AMOUNTS ON LINE 6 WERE CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET B 'TOTAL MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS.' THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS AND THEN REDUCED BY ANY AMOUNTS ALREADY CAPTURED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE IN PART I ABOVE.THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONFERRED IN THIS AREA. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B WAS DETERMINED USING INFORMATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. HOWEVER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DISALLOWS CERTAIN ITEMS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE LEGITIMATE EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE PROCESS OF CARING FOR OUR MEDICARE PATIENTS. EXAMPLES OF THESE ITEMS INCLUDE PROVIDER BASED PHYSICIAN EXPENSE, SELF INSURANCE EXPENSE, HOME OFFICE EXPENSE AND THE SHORTFALL FROM FEE SCHEDULE PAYMENTS. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, MORE SPECIFICALLY, AS CHARITY CARE. THE ELDERLY CONSTITUTE A CLEARLY-RECOGNIZED CHARITABLE CLASS, AND MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR AND THUS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, MEDICAID OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS. FINALLY, THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS.
PART III, LINE 9B: AFTER THE PATIENT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS PARTIALLY OR ENTIRELY WRITTEN OFF, AS APPROPRIATE. ANY REMAINING BALANCE, IF ANY, WOULD BE COLLECTED UNDER THE NORMAL DEBT COLLECTION POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 2: THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ADOPTED BY METHODIST IS ABOUT IMPROVING HEALTH; THE HEALTH OF EACH INDIVIDUAL, AND THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. IN DEVELOPING THE PLAN, SEVERAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION WERE UTILIZED TO HELP IDENTIFY SPECIFIC HEALTHCARE NEEDS. FIRST, ONE OF THE MORE COMPREHENSIVE LOCAL ASSESSMENTS IS LED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. THE PEORIA COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED LOCAL HEALTH PRIORITIES AS CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE (STROKE), HIP FRACTURES AND INFANT MORTALITY. THE LEADING CAUSES OF MORTALITY WERE IDENTIFIED AS HEART DISEASES. THE SECOND SOURCE WAS HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010. HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010 SET OUT NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND ARE BUILT AROUND THE CONCEPTS OF DISEASE PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION. OTHER SOURCES OF DATA WERE REVIEWED, HEARTLAND ALLIANCE MID-AMERICA INSTITUTE ON POVERTY, UNITED STATES CENSUS BUREAU DATA, ILLINOIS BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SURVEY DATA, METHODIST ACCESS DATA AND CENSUS BUREAU DATA. COLLECTIVELY, THESE DATA SOURCES HAVE SUPPORTED OUR ASSESSMENT OF THE COMMUNITIES NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY AND ARE RECEIVING BENEFITS FROM THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS MAY BE PRESUMED ELIGIBLE FOR 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: THE US. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM; WOMEN, INFANTS & CHILDREN (WIC); AND VARIOUS COUNTY AND STATE RELIEF PROGRAMS. THIRD PARTY AGENCIES ARE USED TO ASSIST WITH COLLECTIONS AND, IF THOSE AGENCIES PROVIDE A STATEMENT REGARDING A PATIENT'S LIKELY INCOME LEVEL, THAT INFORMATION IS USED IN DETERMINING THE ELIGIBILITY STATUS AND THE LEVEL OF DISCOUNT AVAILABLE.
PART VI, LINE 4: METHODIST IS THE SECOND LARGEST HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THE HOSPITAL IS LICENSED FOR 329 BEDS. ALONG WITH METHODIST THERE ARE TWO OTHER HOSPITALS IN THE PEORIA AREA, ALONG WITH FOUR SMALLER HOSPITALS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. IN 2017, METHODIST SERVED 13,648 INPATIENTS, 202,808 OUTPATIENTS AND 46,656 EMERGENCY PATIENTS. METHODIST'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA CONSISTS OF FULTON, PEORIA, TAZEWELL AND WOODFORD COUNTIES. THIS GEOGRAPHIC REGION REPRESENTS 85% OF ALL HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS. THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES 14 CENTRAL ILLINOIS COUNTIES, MOSTLY RURAL IN NATURE. COMBINED, METHODIST SERVES A POPULATION OF NEARLY ONE MILLION PEOPLE. METHODIST IS CLASSIFIED AS AN URBAN, TEACHING HOSPITAL. AS COMPARED TO THE DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PEKIN/PEORIA MSA (METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA), METHODIST SERVES A LARGER MINORITY AND SENIOR POPULATION. THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF METHODIST'S PATIENT POPULATION ARE A FUNCTION OF SEVERAL VARIABLES SUCH AS THE INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE OF DISEASE AMONG AGE COHORTS, AND RACES, GEOGRAPHIC PROXIMITY TO MINORITY POPULATIONS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO MEDICAL SERVICES. METHODIST'S INPATIENTS ARE: WHITE 85.8%, BLACK 9.0%, ASIAN 1.8%, HISPANIC 2.0% AND OTHER 1.4%. THIS IS COMPARED TO THE PEKIN/PEORIA MSA OF: WHITE 85.5%, BLACK 9.1%, ASIAN 1.6%, HISPANIC 2.3% AND OTHER 1.5%. METHODIST HAS THE LEAST FAVORABLE PAYOR MIX IN OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. METHODIST HAS THE LARGEST MEDICAID MARKET SHARE BECAUSE OF OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND EMERGENCY PROGRAMS. THE MEDIAN AGE IN OUR SERVICE AREA IS 38.9 AS COMPARED TO 37.3 YEARS STATEWIDE. THE MEDIAN AGE IS HIGHER DUE TO A GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION AT AGE 65 OR ABOVE.
PART VI, LINE 5: THE HOSPITAL IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES WITH THE GOAL OF PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THE HOSPITAL SUPPORTS THIS MISSION WITH A COMMUNITY BOARD, OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, AND AN EMERGENCY ROOM AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE HOSPITAL IS COMPOSED OF CIVIC LEADERS WHO RESIDE IN THE SERVICE AREA OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BOARD ACTIVELY DEBATES AND SETS POLICY AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION FOR THE HOSPITAL BUT DOES NOT GET INVOLVED IN ISSUES RELATED TO THE DIRECT OPERATIONS OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BOARD TAKES A BALANCED APPROACH WHEN ADDRESSING COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS/FINANCIAL CONCERNS. THE BOARD IS ALSO THE PRIMARY GROUP FOR DETERMINING THE USE OF HOSPITAL SURPLUS FUNDS, WHICH ARE ALL USED TO FURTHER OUR CHARITABLE PURPOSE.PHYSICIAN OFFICES ARE SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO A WIDE NUMBER OF PATIENTS.
PART VI, LINE 6: THE HOSPITAL IS PART OF IOWA HEALTH SYSTEM (D/B/A UNITYPOINT HEALTH). THROUGH RELATIONSHIPS WITH 36 HOSPITALS IN METROPOLITAN AND RURAL COMMUNITIES AND MORE THAN 400 OUTPATIENT SITES, UNITYPOINT HEALTH PROVIDES CARE THROUGHOUT IOWA, WESTERN ILLINOIS, AND SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.UNITYPOINT HEALTH ENTITIES EMPLOY THE STATE'S LARGEST NONPROFIT WORKFORCE, WITH MORE THAN 30,000 EMPLOYEES WORKING TOWARD INNOVATIVE ADVANCEMENTS TO DELIVER THE BEST OUTCOME FOR EVERY PATIENT EVERY TIME. EACH YEAR, THROUGH MORE THAN 6.2 MILLION PATIENT VISITS, UNITYPOINT HEALTH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS PROVIDE A FULL RANGE OF CARE TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. WITH ANNUAL REVENUES OF $4.2 BILLION, UNITYPOINT HEALTH IS THE FOURTH LARGEST NONDENOMINATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM IN AMERICA AND PROVIDES COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITIES. UNITYPOINT HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THROUGHOUT IOWA, AND WORK WITH VOLUNTEER AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, INSURERS AND INDIVIDUALS TO SUPPORT ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE STATE. IN 2017, UNITYPOINT HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES PROVIDED MORE THAN $524 MILLION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR COMMUNITIES BY UNITYPOINT HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES ARE REPORTED IN DETAIL IN STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (PART III) OF THE IRS FORM 990 OF THOSE AFFILIATES.
