Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3E Prioritization for The Medical Center, Navicent Health was determined based on a joint, regional prioritization process, along with the other Navicent Health facilities in Central Georgia. On December 17, 2020, Navicent Health convened an online meeting with community stakeholders (representing a cross section of community-based agencies and organizations) to evaluate, discuss and prioritize health issues for community, based on findings of this Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Professional Research Consultants, Inc. (PRC) began the virtual meeting with a presentation of key findings from the CHNA, highlighting the significant health issues identified from the research. Following the data review, PRC answered any questions. Finally, participants were provided an overview of the prioritization exercise that followed. In order to assign priority to the identified health needs, a wireless audience response system was used in which each participant was able to register his/her ratings using a small remote keypad. The participants were asked to evaluate each health issue along two criteria: 1) Scope & Severity 2) Ability to Impact Individuals' ratings for each criteria were averaged for each tested health issue, and then these composite criteria scores were averaged to produce an overall score. This process yielded the following prioritized list of community health needs: 1. Diabetes 2. Heart Disease & Stroke 3. Nutrition, Physical Activity & Weight 4. Infant Health & Family Planning 5. Access to Health Care Services 6. Sexual Health 7. Mental Health 8. Respiratory Disease 9. Cancer 10. Tobacco Use 11. Substance Abuse 12. Injury & Violence 13. Potentially Disabling Conditions 14. Septicemia 15. Oral Health
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - The Medical Center of Central Georgia, Inc.. This assessment incorporates data from multiple sources, including primary research (through the PRC Community Health Survey and PRC Online Key Informant Survey), as well as secondary research (vital statistics and other existing health-related data). It also allows for trending and comparison to benchmark data at the state and national levels. The survey instrument used for this study is based largely on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), as well as various other public health surveys and customized questions addressing gaps in indicator data relative to health promotion and disease prevention objectives and other recognized health issues. The final survey instrument was developed by Navicent Health and PRC and is similar to the previous surveys used in the region, allowing for data trending. The study area for the survey effort (referred to as the "Total Area" in this report) is defined as each of the residential ZIP Codes predominantly associated with Baldwin, Bibb, Crawford, Houston, Jones, Monroe, Peach, or Twiggs counties in central Georgia. In the reporting, Crawford, Jones, Monroe, and Twiggs county findings are grouped into a single combined area, referred to as "Other Counties." A precise and carefully executed methodology is critical in asserting the validity of the results gathered in the PRC Community Health Survey. Thus, to ensure the best representation of the population surveyed a mixed-mode methodology was implemented. This included surveys conducted via telephone (landline and cell phone), as well as through online questionnaires. The sample design used for this effort consisted of a stratified random sample of 1,200 individuals age 18 and older in the Total Area, including 300 each in Bibb and Houston counties, 200 each in Peach and Baldwin counties, and 200 in the combined Other Counties area. Once the interviews were completed, these were weighted in proportion to the actual population distribution so as to appropriately represent the Total Area as a whole. All administration of the surveys, data collection, and data analysis was conducted by PRC. For statistical purposes, the maximum rate of error associated with a sample size of 1,200 respondents is +/-2.8% at the 95 percent confidence level.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6a Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Central Georgia Rehabilitation Hospital, LLC. A free standing specialty hospital with 58-licensed beds, Central Georgia Rehabilitation Hospital provides comprehensive physical rehabilitation services on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - The Medical Center of Central Georgia, Inc.. A copy of the CHNA was provided to many community leaders and organizations.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - The Medical Center of Central Georgia, Inc.. There was a wide range of priority health issues identified from the CHNA and the challenge in resourcing each of them. In consideration of the top health priorities identified through the process and in overall alignment with the hospital's mission, goals and strategic priorities. The hospital will continue to focus on developing, supporting and collaborating on strategies and initiatives to improve healthcare access, health promotion and disease prevention. Certain significant health needs will not be addressed so that resources are utilized in areas where the hospital can be most effective. Some needs identified in the CHNA are better addressed by other organizations that are better suited to address these needs. The Medical Center of Central Georgia will use the information from this Community Health Needs Assessment to develop Implementation Strategies to address the significant health needs in the community. While the hospital will not implement strategies for all of the health issues listed above, the results of this prioritization exercise will be used to inform the development of the hospital's action plan to guide community health improvement efforts in the coming years. The implementation strategies report is posted on the organization's website.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance The data reported in Part 1, Line 7 is reported as instructed by the Catholic Health Association's "A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefits, 2008". The costs were calculated using the ratio of costs to charges using Worksheet 2 in the Instructions to Form 990 Schedule H.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount PATIENT CHARGES WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT represent the amount of charges considered uncollectible after reasonable attempts to collect have been made for that portion of a patient's bill that ARE NOT OTHERWISE PAID BY THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE, GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, PATIENT PAYMENTS OR that do not QUALIFY for writeoff UNDER the HOSPITAL'S Financial Assistance POLICY.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote Atrium Health issues consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. There is no comprehensive footnote that addresses bad debt expense. Net patient account receivables are in Footnote 1(g) on page 30, Financial Assistance and Community Benefit Costs are discussed in Footnote 1(s) on page 33, and the use of estimates (which includes the use of estimates related to the valuation of accounts receivable, including contractual allowances and provisions for bad debts) is discussed in Footnote 1(u) on page 34 of the Audited Financial on Statements for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USES THE COSTS INCLUDED IN THE COST REPORT WHICH ARE CALCULATED USING A DEPARTMENTAL SPECIFIC COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS COMPARED TO ACTUAL MEDICARE PAYMENTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY PRIOR TO DISCHARGE. Availability of financial assistance is also noted with conspicuous signage throughout the hospital and on the hospital's website. EACH BILLING STATEMENT CONTAINS A CONSPICUOUS NOTICE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS THAT QUALIFY. ONCE A PATIENT IS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, IT IS NOTED IN THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL RECORD AND ANY COLLECTION EFFORTS CEASE. ANY PREVIOUS AMOUNTS BILLED ARE WRITTEN-OFF (or refunded if any payment was received) AS PROVIDED IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE ORGANIZATION REVIEWS THE FINANCIAL ACTIVITY ON OTHER ACCOUNTS TO DETERMINE IF THE ACCOUNTS SHOULD BE TURNED OVER TO OUTSIDE COLLECTIONS. IF A PATIENT ACCOUNT TURNED OVER TO COLLECTIONS IS LATER DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT IS BROUGHT BACK FROM COLLECTIONS AND THE ACCOUNT WRITTEN OFF.
