One of the primary ways NMMC-Pontotoc serves the community is by providing care to various populations for which it receives no compensation or receives compensation at rates significantly less than established rates. The board of directors of NMMC-Pontotoc has established a policy under which the hospital provides care, without charge, to needy members of its community. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY STATES THAT NMMC-PONTOTOC WILL PROVIDE EMERGENCY AND MEDICALLY NECESSARY INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT HOSPITAL SERVICES TO PATIENTS FREE OF CHARGE WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOME LEVELS AT OR BELOW 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. THE POLICY FURTHER PROVIDES, PATIENTS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOME LEVELS BETWEEN 101% AND 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE SERVICES AT A DISCOUNTED RATE. THE DISCOUNT WILL BE PRO-RATED BASED ON THE PATIENT'S GROSS FAMILY INCOME AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. The policy applies to individuals who reside in Pontotoc County. Patients from outside the county may also be granted charity care based on the judgment of NMMC-Pontotoc management depending on their individual circumstances. The policy also requires the patient to cooperate fully with NMMC-Pontotoc's request for information with which to verify the patient's eligibility. Following that policy, the hospital maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges forgone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy. Charges forgone, based on established rates, totaled approximately $552,184 in fiscal year 2019. Based on the gross charges provided to charity patients compared to total hospital gross charges, 6.86% of all services in fiscal year 2019 were provided on a charity basis. The net cost of charity care provided by NMMC-Pontotoc was approximately $1,600,497 in fiscal year 2019. The total cost estimate is based on the ratio of costs to charges for NMMC-Pontotoc. All the foregone charges mentioned above are netted against patient service revenue to arrive at net patient service revenue as reflected as program service revenue on Part VIII of Form 990 in order to be consistent with financial statement reporting and are not reported as functional expenses on the tax return.
