HOSPICE CONTINUALLY WORKS WITH THE COMMUNITY TO ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION. SINCE HOSPICE IS A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL, THE EVALUATION OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IS TARGETED TO THE POPULATION IN CONNECTICUT REQUIRING HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE. IN ADDITION, HOSPICE IS COMMITTED TO EDUCATING THE BROADER COMMUNITY REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS TYPE OF CARE. THE RESOURCES OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE FOCUSED ON MEETING THESE TWO COMMUNITY NEEDS. HOSPICE WILL UTILIZE THE RECENTLY COMPLETED 2024 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO UPDATE AND IMPLEMENT ITS FINANCIAL ASSITANCE POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND OTHER AREAS OF NEED.

PART I, LINE 7: THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE MEDICAID AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINE 7B. IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, THERE WAS $0. PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: THE CONNECTICUT HOSPICE, BRANFORD, CT'S 2ND LARGEST EMPLOYER, IS A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO THE CONNECTICUT SHORELINE COMMUNITY IN WHICH IT IS LOCATED. IT ALLOWS THE COMMUNITY TO USE ITS OUTDOOR POOL TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL WELLNESS AND OPENS ITS GROUNDS TO ALLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO ENJOY THE FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS. IN ADDITION, HOSPICE PROVIDES MEMORIAL SERVICES AND BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT TO THE COMMUNITY. CONNECTICUT HOSPICE PROVIDED INFORMATIONAL SESSIONS AND LUNCHEONS TO SENIOR CENTER MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS. PART III, LINE 2: THE AMOUNT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED AS THE DIRECT WRITE OFF OF BAD DEBTS FOR HOSPITAL PATIENTS. HOSPICE HAS INCLUDED THIS ENTIRE AMOUNT AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY SINCE THE MAJORITY OF ALL PATIENTS QUALIFY FOR SOME TYPE OF BENEFITS. UNFORTUNATELY, IN SOME CASES, THE PATIENT PASSES AWAY BEFORE THE APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE IS COMPLETE. IF THE FAMILIES DID NOT COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON BEHALF OF THE DECEASED PATIENT, HOSPICE OPTED TO WRITE OFF THE BALANCE RATHER THAN PURSUE ANY COLLECTION ACTION. PART III, LINE 3: THE CONNECTICUT HOSPICE PROVIDES CARE TO ITS TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS. MANY OF THE INDIVDIUALS, UNFORTUNATELY PASS AWAY PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF THEIR ENROLLMENT FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE AMOUNTS ARE THEN WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT. HOSPICE BELIEVES THAT THE MAJORITY OF THESE BAD DEBTS WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR INDIVDIUALS WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAD THEY COMPLETED THE APPLICATION. THE AMOUNT OF THIS BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE TREATED AS CHARITY CARE. PART III, LINE 4: HOSPICE DOES NOT HAVE A SEPARATE FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE BELOW STATEMENT IS AN EXCERPT FROM FOOTNOTE 2 FOUND ON PAGE 11 OF THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE CONNECTICUT HOSPICE, INC.

ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF WHEN THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE ADEQUACY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES IS REVIEWED ON AN ONGOING BASIS, USING HISTORICAL PAYMENT TRENDS, WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE, ANALYSES OF RECEIVABLE PORTFOLIOS BY PAYOR SOURCE AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES, A REVIEW OF SPECIFIC ACCOUNTS, AND EXPECTED FUTURE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS. ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE TO THE ALLOWANCE AS NECESSARY. THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSS WAS $313,460 AND $163,460 AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024, RESPECTIVELY.SEE NOTE 3 (PAGE 13) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PART III, LINE 8: HOSPICE BELIEVES THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNT. HOSPICE IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY. WE PROVIDE AN EXPERT LEVEL OF PAIN AND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT, AND OFFER AN EXTENSIVE ARRAY OF SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT AND COMFORT-ORIENTED MEASURES TO PATIENTS. WE ATTEND TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE INTERVENTIONS THAT PEOPLE FIND IMPORTANT WHEN THEY ARE VERY SICK. UNFORTUNATELY, MEDICARE DOES NOT FULLY COVER THE COST OF THESE SERVICES WHICH WE BELIEVE ARE ESSENTIAL TO OUR PATIENTS. SINCE WE ARE COMMITTED TO PATIENT CARE, WE PROVIDE THESE SERVICES AT A LOSS AND BELIEVE THE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
