IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE - LIFE LINK III MAINTAINS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM CALLED COMMUNITY CARE. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES CARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNABLE TO AFFORD THE COST OF SERVICES. WE MAINTAIN RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE UNDER THIS PROGRAM. APPLICANTS FOR OUR CHARITY CARE PROGRAM ARE REQUESTED TO PROVIDE CURRENT AND PRIOR YEAR INCOME INFORMATION. WE USE INCOME-BASED CRITERIA IN OUR DETERMINATION OF CHARITY CARE AND USE 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY. IN 2017 THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS UNDER THIS PROGRAM WAS $130,399. LIFE LINK III PARTICIPATES IN GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND IS COMMITTED TO SERVING ALL PERSONS IN NEED REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, SEX, NATIONALITY, RELIGION, DISABILITY, AGE OR ABILITY TO PAY. TO PROMOTE ACCESS TO ALL INDIVIDUALS LIFE LINK III PARTICIPATES IN THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS: MEDICARE, MEDICAID (MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN), MINNESOTACARE, AND GENERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. PAYMENTS FROM THESE PROGRAMS RFREQUENTLY DO NOT COVER THE COSTS LIFE LINK III INCURS TO SERVE PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1PATIENT RECEIVABLES AND CREDIT POLICY - PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE UNCOLLATERALIZED PATIENT OBLIGATIONS THAT ARE STATED AT THE AMOUNT MANAGEMENT EXPECTS TO COLLECT FROM OUTSTANDING BALANCES. THESE OBLIGATIONS ARE PRIMARILY FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS, MOST OF WHOM ARE INSURED UNDER THIRD-PARTY PAYORS ON THE PATIENTS' BEHALF. OR, IF THE PATIENT IS UNINSURED, THE PATIENT RECEIVES AN AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT EQUAL TO THE DISCOUNT GIVEN THE ORGANIZATIONS LARGEST THIRD PARTY PAYER, THEN THAT PATIENT IS BILLED DIRECTLY. ONCE CLAIMS ARE SETTLED WITH THE PRIMARY PAYER, ANY SECONDARY INSURANCE IS BILLED AND PATIENTS ARE BILLED FOR COPAY AND DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS THAT ARE PATIENTS' RESPONSIBILITY. PAYMENTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE APPLIED TO THE SPECIFIC CLAIM IDENTIFIED ON THE REMITTANCE ADVICE OR STATEMENT. LIFE LINK III DOES NOT HAVE A POLICY TO CHARGE INTEREST ON PAST DUE ACCOUNTS. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES ITS COLLECTION HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS, A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS AND CHARITABLE CARE. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS 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. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN 2017 THESE BAD DEBTS TOTALED $2,809,866.PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE RECORDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING BALANCE SHEET NET OF CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.IT IS UNKNOWN HOW MUCH BAD DEBT EXPENSE, IF ANY, REASONABLY COULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PERSONS WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM.
