PART I, LINE 6A: DURING THE YEAR, THE HOSPITAL SUBORDINATES CONCLUDED THEIR REQUIRED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, WHICH WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON THE WEB.
PART I, LINE 7: A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO (FROM WORKSHEET 2) IS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS ON LINE 7A-7C (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, MEDICAID SHORTFALL, AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS).THE AMOUNTS FOR LINES 7E-7I WOULD COME FROM THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF SPECIFIC SEGMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND WOULD NOT BE BASED ON A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.
PART I, LINE 7G: THE FOLLOWING NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT COST ATTRIBUTED TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC WAS INCLUDED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES: $116,304,093.
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 $ 143,233,097.
PART I, LINE 5A: CHARITY CARE IS ESTIMATED FOR FINANCIAL PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE DOES NOT INFLUENCE NOR HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED.
PART III, LINE 1: THE FILING ORGANIZATION REPORTS BAD DEBT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP). HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION STATEMENT 15 IS FOLLOWED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT ALIGNS WITH THE GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY GAAP.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: DONATIONS AND GRANTS TO PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ASSIST WITH SUSTAINING AND ENHANCING THE DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED.
PART III, LINE 2: BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS DETERMINED BASED ON GAAP AND IS EXPLAINED IN THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOOTNOTE OF THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 4: FOOTNOTES RELATED TO ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT) CAN BE FOUND IN MAYO CLINIC'S 2022 CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.PAGE 8: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR MEDICAL SERVICES ARE BASED UPON THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS EXPECTED TO BE PAID FROM PATIENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORS.PAGE 13: SUBSEQUENT CHANGES THAT ARE DETERMINED TO BE THE RESULT OF ADVERSE CHANGE IN THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY ARE RECORDED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD EXPENSE FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2021, WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT.
PART III, LINE 8: THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B WAS DETERMINED USING INFORMATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT (USING A MEDICARE COST REPORT STEP-DOWN METHODOLOGY). HOWEVER, USING A FINANCIAL STATEMENT COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY ACTUALLY RESULTS IN A MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF APPROXIMATELY $1,017,109,000.THE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H AND THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL BASED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE: (1) INCLUSION OF MEDICARE ADVANTAGE REVENUE AND EXPENSES; (2) INCLUSION OF PART B REVENUE AND EXPENSES; (3) INCLUSION OF OTHER FEE SCHEDULE REVENUE; AND (4) SOME TIMING ISSUES.THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED IN THE CORE FORM, PART III, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS REPORTS THE TOTAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL RELATED TO PATIENT CARE PROVIDED BY ALL SUBORDINATES IN THE GROUP RETURN AND IS THEREFORE NOT ADJUSTED FOR EDUCATION EXPENSE AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.REASONS WHY THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON LINE 7, IF ANY, SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ARE: (1) ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS; (2) BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS; (3) THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS; AND (4) THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS.
PART III, LINE 9B: MAYO CLINIC AND ITS AFFILIATES STRIVE TO ASSIST ALL PATIENTS IN MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATION AND CONSIDER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO ENLISTING THE ASSISTANCE OF A COLLECTION AGENCY. MAYO CLINIC AND AFFILIATES ALSO MAKE REASONABLE ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT FROM INSURANCE COMPANIES AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYORS BEFORE REQUESTING PAYMENT FROM A PATIENT. IN ADDITION, MAYO CLINIC AND ITS AFFILIATES ACCEPT REASONABLE PAYMENT PLANS FROM PATIENTS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY AND TRY TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS OFFERED TO ANY PATIENT IF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SUGGEST THAT THE PATIENT DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY THEIR BILL IN WHOLE OR IN PART. IN THE EVENT THAT AN ACCOUNT IS REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY, GUIDELINES ARE FOLLOWED; INCLUDING SUSPENDING ALL COLLECTION ACTIVITY IF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED AFTER THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN REFERRED FOR COLLECTION. IF A COLLECTION AGENCY IDENTIFIES A PATIENT AS POTENTIALLY MEETING MAYO CLINIC'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, OR THE PATIENT ASKS TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, COLLECTION ACTIVITY IS SUSPENDED UNTIL MAYO REVIEWS THE ACCOUNT FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY BASED ON SUBMISSION OF REQUESTED INFORMATION. COLLECTION ACTIVITY WOULD ONLY RESUME IF THE PATIENT IS DETERMINED TO BE INELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR IS ELIGIBLE FOR ONLY PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DOES NOT AGREE TO PAY THE REMAINING BALANCE.
PART VI, LINE 2: MAYO CLINIC, THE CENTRAL ORGANIZATION FOR THE SUBORDINATES INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP RETURN, ATTRACTS PATIENTS FROM AREAS FAR BEYOND ITS IMMEDIATE COMMUNITIES. PATIENTS COME TO MAYO CLINIC FROM EVERY STATE AND MANY FOREIGN COUNTRIES. BESIDES ITS PRINCIPAL CLINICAL AND HOSPITAL FACILITIES IN ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA, MAYO CLINIC HAS FACILITIES IN SCOTTSDALE AND PHOENIX, ARIZONA AS WELL AS JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. MAYO CLINIC ALSO HAS A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS IN APPROXIMATELY 50 COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN MINNESOTA, NORTHERN IOWA, AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. IN ADDITION, MAYO CLINIC SUPPORTS AND COORDINATES EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING WITHIN EACH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES AS WELL AS CONDUCTING MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES TO ADVANCE THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE TO BENEFIT A BROAD RANGE OF REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES.THE SUBORDINATES INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP RETURN WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THEIR INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PRACTICES TO MEET THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THESE ENTITIES ARE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "MAYO CLINIC" FOR PURPOSES OF THIS DESCRIPTION.MAYO CLINIC'S EFFORTS TO ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES REST ON FOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND AFFIRMED BY MAYO CLINIC LEADERSHIP:1. HEALTH IS VALUED BY BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND MAYO CLINIC.2. "HEALTH" IS DETERMINED BY BOTH MEDICAL AND NON-MEDICAL (E.G., SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL) FACTORS AND BOTH CATEGORIES OF FACTORS MUST BE ADDRESSED.3. MAYO CLINIC IS COMMITTED TO PRODUCING MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HEALTH OF LOCAL COUNTY RESIDENTS AND BEYOND.4. STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH ARE BEST DETERMINED AND IMPLEMENTED THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.WITH THESE PRINCIPLES AS THE BASIS OF ITS DECISION MAKING, AND CONSISTENT WITH ITS PRIMARY VALUE OF "THE NEEDS OF THE PATIENT COME FIRST", MAYO CLINIC'S APPROACH TO ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IS ORGANIZED INTO TWO MAIN FUNCTIONS: 1) MECHANISMS TO ENGAGE AND UTILIZE INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND 2) MECHANISMS TO SUPPORT AND COORDINATE INITIATIVES WITHIN MAYO CLINIC.WITHIN MAYO CLINIC, COORDINATION OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH COMMUNITY GIVING COMMITTEES THAT EVALUATE FUNDING AND SPONSORSHIP REQUESTS FROM COMMUNITY AGENCIES AND GUIDES INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT FOR VARIOUS COMMUNITY INITIATIVES. THE COMMITTEES ENSURE THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES ARE FOLLOWED AND FACILITATE COMMUNITY OUTREACH INITIATIVES.
PART VI, LINE 3: MAYO CLINIC IS COMMITTED TO OFFERING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ELIGIBLE PATIENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THEIR MEDICAL SERVICES IN WHOLE OR IN PART. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS CHARITABLE GOAL, MAYO CLINIC AND MAYO CLINIC HEALTH SYSTEM SITES WIDELY PUBLICIZE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT THE INDIVIDUAL MAYO CLINIC AFFILIATED SITES SERVE.MAYO CLINIC AFFILIATED SITES MAKE COPIES OF THIS POLICY AND APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBPAGES, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO DOWNLOAD A COPY OF THE POLICY AND APPLICATION FREE OF CHARGE. INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY SERVED WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A COPY OF THE POLICY IN LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT EACH MAYO CLINIC AFFILIATED SITE OR UPON REQUEST IN PERSON OR BY PHONE. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP) AND THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY (PLS) EXPLAIN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND OUTLINES ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION. WITHIN EACH HOSPITAL FACILITY, A BROCHURE IS MADE AVAILABLE IN NUMEROUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY WHICH DESCRIBES THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND GIVES THE INTERNET ADDRESS WHERE THE COMPLETE POLICY CAN BE OBTAINED. ADDITIONALLY, CHARITABLE CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS REFERENCED ON PATIENT CORRESPONDENCE INCLUDING: THE MONTHLY STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT, ACCOUNT BALANCE LETTERS, AND LATE PAYMENT NOTIFICATIONS. ALL PATIENT CORRESPONDENCE REFERENCING CHARITABLE CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDE INTERNET, PHONE, AND MAILING ADDRESS CONTACT INFORMATION. PATIENTS MAY ALSO BE MADE AWARE OF THE FAP VIA THEIR PROVIDER AND/OR OTHER MAYO CLINIC EMPLOYEES, WHO CAN PUT A PATIENT IN CONTACT WITH RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS.
PART VI, LINE 4: MAYO CLINIC HOSPITAL - ROCHESTER WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH MAYO CLINIC TO FORM AN INTEGRATED MEDICAL CENTER DEDICATED TO PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT IN VIRTUALLY EVERY MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SPECIALTY. TOGETHER, MAYO CLINIC AND MAYO CLINIC HOSPITAL - ROCHESTER SERVE THE POPULATION OF OLMSTED COUNTY IN MINNESOTA AS WELL AS A WIDER REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND EVEN INTERNATIONAL POPULATION.
