Major Activities

Activity 2

Charity Care / Subsidized Care- Deaconess Hospital makes a distinction between charity and bad debt. In determining an individual or family's ability to pay, Deaconess Hospital evaluates whether or not the responsible party has sufficient resources available for payment. If an individual is determined to not have sufficient resources to pay, they are considered eligible for charity care and will not be processed through either internal or external collections. Accounts of charity care patients who are unable to pay do not result in bad debt and are not collected upon. Deaconess Hospital provides care to persons covered by governmental programs below cost. Recognizing its mission to the community, services are provided to both Medicare and Medicaid patients. To the extent reimbursement is below cost, Deaconess Hospital absorbs these costs in meeting its mission to the community. In support of its mission, Deaconess Hospital provided $20.6 million of charity care and $31.3 million of subsidized services to the Medicaid program, and $40.3 million of subsidized services to the Medicare program.

Activity 3
