Financial Assistance
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY
Section 1. PURPOSE
Baxter Health Fulton County Hospital (BHFCH) is a not-for-profit healthcare delivery system that recognizes its obligation to provide financial assistance to patients in need. BHFCH is committed to using its resources to aid the communities and patients it serves to preserve human dignity and worth as well as general quality of life. At the same time, however, BHFCH strives to provide the highest quality care possible, which requires it to use its financial resources wisely to ensure a strong financial position that will allow for the replacement of buildings and equipment, adequate reserves for emergencies, and the potential for future technological developments and medical services. This Policy applies specifically to emergency or other medically necessary care provided by BHFCH or its substantially related entities. Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, BHFCH has updated this Policy for 2024 to include a broader range of income levels that qualify for financial assistance. BHFCH will review the Policy in one year to assess the qualifying income levels.

Section 3. Definitions
The following terms are used in this policy as defined below: Amounts Generally Billed (AGB) - the sum of all "allowed" claims for all medical care, as paid by Medicare fee-for-service and all private insurers, during the prior 12-month period and divided by the sum of the associated gross charges for all medical care claims.
- Household Income - the income for all working members of the household as attested either in a federal income tax return or an earnings statement from the patient's employer.
- Presumptive eligibility - program under which a person is presumed to be eligible for financial assistance based on evidence of need.
- Qualified Financial Assistance Recipient (QFAR) - A person who meets the eligibility requirements of Section 3.3 of this policy, completes the application process for financial assistance, and is determined by BHFCH to be qualified for financial assistance under this policy.
- Substantially Related Entity - an entity that is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes in which a hospital organization owns a capital or profits interest (or a disregarded entity of which the hospital organization is the sole owner or member) and that provides, in a hospital facility operated by the hospital organization, emergency or other medically necessary care that is not an unrelated trade or business with respect to the hospital organization.
Section 4. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Section 4.1. General Eligibility Considerations
In furtherance of this purpose, the Board of Directors of Baxter Health Fulton County Hospital has resolved and is committed to providing financial assistance to patients who are eligible for such assistance according to this Policy and its underlying federal regulations. Patients may be eligible for such assistance if all of the following circumstances exist:
- The patient needs emergency or other medically necessary care, as identified by a licensed physician or other healthcare provider.
- BHFCH has been chosen to provide the patient's care, by the patient or an appropriate decision-maker for medical issues.
- The individual is financially unable to pay for the needed care.
Despite these criteria, BHFCH conforms in all cases to applicable requirements of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act ("EMTALA") and provides emergency medical care and medically necessary care without regard to the patient's ability to pay.
Section 4.2. Services Generally Eligible for Financial Assistance
Patients seeking financial assistance must satisfy three conditions:
- The patient is determined to be eligible for financial assistance according to the Eligibility Criteria in Section 4.3 below,
- The patient successfully completes the application process described in Section 3 below, and
- BHFCH determines that the patient is a Qualified Financial Assistance Recipient.
A patient satisfying these three conditions is known as a Qualified Financial Assistance Recipient. A Qualified Financial Assistance Recipient ("QFAR") may receive financial assistance in the form of a reduction in cost of care between 50-100%.
QFARs will not be charged for emergency or other medical care at rates higher than the amounts generally billed to third parties or patients with health insurance, nor will BHFCH bill a QFAR's covered services as "gross charges," meaningful amounts. BHFCH uses the "look- back" method to determine AGB by taking the full amount of all medical care allowed during the prior 12-month period and dividing by the sum of the associated gross charges for all medical claims. Amounts generally billed and discount percentages are reviewed annually, and appropriate adjustments are effective upon the approval of an updated version of this Financial Assistance Policy.
AGB% = Sum of Claims Allowed Amount $ / Sum of Gross Charges $ for those claims
AGB for 2024 = 33 %
Section 4.3. Criteria for Financial Assistance Eligibility
Patients may be eligible for financial assistance under this Policy based on their family income. Patients are eligible for financial assistance if they meet these criteria, without regard to who is the actual payer of that patient's bill. BHFCH has established levels of eligible financial assistance based on applicants' family income and the national poverty guidelines, as well as other criteria. If the patient-applicant satisfies those criteria and the patient's family income is within a certain range, that patient will be eligible to receive that type of financial assistance.
Each request for financial assistance will be evaluated on its own merit using the income and other criteria in this Section.
In order to establish family income, the patient must provide acceptable income verification. Acceptable sources of income verification include:
- The most recent federal income tax return applicable to the patient, if the patient applies for financial assistance before March 31 (the first quarter) of the same year,
- The most recent federal income tax return applicable to the patient, plus an employer's verification of earnings for the current year, if the application is filed after March 31 (the first quarter) of the year, or
- For self-employed individuals, the most recent federal income tax return and copies of all current quarterly returns.
If the applicant does not have documentation proving household income, he or she may call the financial assistance office and discuss other evidence that may be provided to demonstrate eligibility
BHFCH will also need, if applicable, the patient's last two months of bank statements and their two most recent pay stubs. Patients will also need to apply for Medicaid in order to qualify for financial assistance. If BHFCH needs more information from an applicant, other eligibility criteria may also include (1) assets and liabilities, (2) most current property tax assessment, (3) the patient's medical condition, (4) the potential need for long-term medical care, (5) the availability of other forms of reimbursement, including insurance, social programs, or other financial resources, and (6) the suitability of the facility for the patient's particular needs and the availability of a more appropriate facility that would offer payment for care. BHFCH will also take into account any out-of-pocket medical expenses you have paid over the past 12 months, as demonstrated by statements or documentation from your physician, pharmacy, or other provider. If a patient cannot provide any of the required information, they should contact Patient Financial Services to discuss what other information they may provide to apply.
If a patient (1) states that he or she is homeless at the time care is needed or (2) is physically or mentally incapacitated and has no one to act on his or her behalf, and if BHFCH does not find any evidence to the contrary through its own diligence, that patient will be considered a Qualified Financial Assistance Recipient and will not be required to complete the application for such financial assistance. Patients with those circumstances will be eligible for care without cost to the patient.
Under extraordinary circumstances, BHFCH's Financial Assistance Committee may consider an applicant for financial assistance even if that individual does not otherwise qualify for financial assistance under this policy. Such discounts will be capped for self- pay individuals as determined by the Financial Assistance Committee.
Section 4.4. Presumptive Eligibility for Financial Assistance
In some situations, BHFCH may consider a patient presumptively eligible for financial assistance. A patient may be presumptively eligible if BHFCH has received information from an appropriate third party, such as a means tested public program, that leads BHFCH to believe the patient is eligible, or if the patient has qualified for financial assistance under this Policy in the past.
If a patient is presumptively eligible, BHFCH will notify that patient in writing of his or her presumptive eligibility, including the reason why BHFCH considers the patient presumptively eligible and how the patient can apply for financial assistance under a more generous financial assistance program (such as this Policy). BHFCH will also provide the patient with a reasonable time to apply for financial assistance, and if the patient completes the application within that time period, BHFCH will determine whether the patient is a QFAR.
Additionally, if an individual has applied for and received financial assistance within the previous 12 months and the patient's financial situation has not changed, the individual will be deemed eligible for financial assistance without having to submit a new application. All applications are maintained for a period of one year.
Section 4.5. Rate Reduction Schedule for Qualified Financial Assistance Recipients
A patient's cost for care will be based on his or her income in comparison to the national poverty guidelines (discussed below in this Section) and other eligibility criteria. If a patient is a QFAR, the patient's cost of care will first be reduced to an amount equivalent to the amounts generally billed for that care, as described in Section 4.2. After that preliminary reduction, the patient will then be entitled to another 50-100% reduction in cost for emergency or other medically necessary care, depending on the patient's eligibility.
National poverty guidelines are established each year and, for that reason, a patient's rate of financial assistance will change as well. The currently applicable rate reduction schedule for BHFCH patients is available on BHFCH's website, in the Emergency Room, and at all points of registration in the hospital, and by mail or telephone at the following address/number (all free of charge):

Section 4.6 Safe Harbor for Eligible Patients who are Later Qualified for Financial Assistance
In the unusual situation when (1) a patient is charged more than the amount generally billed for medical services, (2) that patient has not yet completed an application for financial assistance, and (3) the patient later completes the application and is determined to be a QFAR, BHFCH will reimburse the patient for any amounts paid in excess of that patient's maximum out-of-pocket charge for the service (unless that amount is less than $5.00). However, BHFCH will never make the patient's payment of charges in excess of amounts generally billed a precondition to receipt of emergency or other medically necessary care.
Section 4.7. Covered Care and Providers
This Policy applies to emergency provided in a BHFCH "hospital facility," including any department or provider-based clinic of the hospital itself, whether located inside the hospital's physical structure on N Main St. or elsewhere, if that care is provided by the hospital facility or any entity substantially related to the hospital facility for tax purposes. That is, the applicability of this Policy will depend on two factors, including (1) where the care was provided and (2) which provider provided the care. Elective or non-emergent care is not eligible for financial assistance.
Section 4.7.a. Covered Care Locations
With regard to the location of care, emergency and other medically necessary care that is provided in a "hospital facility," including hospital itself or in any provider- based clinic or department of the hospital, will be considered for financial assistance. Specifically, that includes the Inpatient hospital floors, the Swingbed unit, Outpatient departments, Emergency Department, Wound Care, Therapy, Radiology, Laboratory and Endoscopy departments and Family Clinic.
Section 4.7.b. Covered Providers
If the patient receives care that is covered under this Policy, a determination will need to be made as to whether the provider who actually provided the care is a covered provider. Every provider associated with the hospital itself, a department of the hospital, or a provider-based clinic will be a "covered provider" when that provider is providing covered care, including all the clinics and departments included in Section 4.7.a. Likewise, if covered care is provided at the hospital facility by a provider from one of the clinics related to BHFCH for tax purposes, including all of those clinics listed in Section 4.7.a., such as the Family Clinic, that provider is covered under this Policy. However, that provider is only covered for care that occurs in the hospital facility or a provider-based clinic or department.
If the patient receives care that is covered under this Policy but that care is not provided by a provider from the hospital facility or any substantially related clinic or other medical facility, that patient's care is not eligible for financial assistance.
A list of providers with privileges and credentialing at the hospital, and a notation of whether those providers' care is covered or not, is found in Addendum B to this Policy.
Section 5. APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Section 5.1. Availability of Application for Financial Assistance and Other Information
If any person believes that a patient may qualify for financial assistance under this Policy, BHFCH encourages the person to request assistance. Copies of this Policy, a plain language summary of the policy, and the application form may be found in any of these locations, including (1) on the BHFCH website, https://www.fultoncountyhospital.org, (2) in the BHFCH Emergency Room, and (3) at every point of registration into the hospital. Any member of the public or any state or federal governmental entity may also obtain copies of this Policy, the plain language summary of the policy, and the application form by mail or telephone at the following address/number (all free of charge):
Baxter Health Fulton County Hospital
Attention: Patient Financial Services
679 N Main St
Salem, AR 72576
Applicants may also write or call Baxter Health Fulton County Hospital at this address/telephone number to ask questions about or receive other assistance with the application process and the Financial Assistance Policy. Notices regarding the Financial Assistance Policy are also included on all billing statements and may be found posted in public areas around the hospital, including the Emergency Room and Admissions. Similarly, copies of the plain language summary of this Policy will be included with patients' admission or discharge paperwork, depending on the circumstances.
Section 5.2. Availability of Application for Financial Assistance and Other Information in Languages Other Than English (Limited English Proficiency)
BHFCH also makes copies of its Financial Assistance Policy, the plain language summary, and the application form available in certain languages other than English for those with limited English proficiency. Those documents are provided free of charge and are made available for all languages, as required by federal law, that BHFCH has determined may be spoken by a significant population of the communities BHFCH serves. To determine whether these documents are available in a particular language, and to obtain copies of those documents, an individual may write or call the following address/telephone number:
Baxter Health Fulton County Hospital
Attention: Patient Financial Services
679 N Main St
Salem, AR 72576
Section 5.3. Financial Assistance for Patients with Medicaid Coverage
If a patient has applied for financial assistance under this Policy and has also filed an application for assistance under Medicaid, BHFCH may postpone its determination until the Medicaid application has been completed and a decision has been made.
Section 5.4. Application and Eligibility Determination Process
The process for completing an application for financial assistance under this Policy will generally follow these steps:
- The patient or the patient's representative requests financial assistance. Anyone may request financial assistance on any patient's behalf but only the patient or his or her representative may complete the application.
- The patient or the patient's representative completes the application form and returns it to BHFCH's Patient Financial Services Department ("PFS"). In the event of a patient's death, the patient's family will be given an opportunity to complete an application for financial assistance under this Policy.
- PFS reviews the application for completeness within 30 days of receipt. If the application is incomplete, PFS contacts the patient or his or her representative to obtain the missing information. If the necessary information is not provided to PFS within 30 days of notice that the application is incomplete, the application will be denied.
- PFS reviews income verification documentation. If income documentation is missing or the documentation provided does not meet the documentation requirements in this Policy (Section 4.3), PFS contacts the patient or representative to obtain the proper documentation. If the needed documentation is not provided within 30 days, the application will be denied.
- PFS reviews the services provided to verify that they are services covered under the Financial Assistance Policy. If the service is covered by a third-party payor, such as insurance or government assistance, the patient or representative is contacted and those payment avenues are pursued. If the question of extraordinary circumstances arises, the account will be referred to the appropriate management personnel for determination of eligibility. Following that determination, the account will be either returned to PFS for processing or denied. If denied, PFS will discuss payment options with the patient or representative.
- If the services in question are covered and there is no alternative payment option, PFS will review family income according to current national poverty guidelines (Section 4.5) and determine whether the patient is eligible discounted care. If so, BCFCH will notify the patient or representative of eligibility, explain the details of the discount procedure, apply the appropriate discount, establish a payment plan (if necessary), and update the patient's account record accordingly. Determinations are generally made within 30 days.
- If the patient does not qualify for financial assistance, the patient or representative will be notified.
- If an individual has applied for and received financial assistance within the previous 12 months and the patient's financial situation has not changed, the individual will be deemed eligible for financial assistance without having to submit a new application. All applications are maintained for a period of one year.
Section 6. BILLING AND COLLECTION FOR QUALIFIED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RECIPIENTS
Section 6.1. Availability of Separate Billing and Collections Policies
BHFCH maintains separate policies containing its billing and collections policies as they apply to all patients, not solely to patients seeking financial assistance. Patients may obtain copies of those policies, free of charge, by writing or calling the following address/telephone number:
Baxter Health Fulton County Hospital
Attention: Patient Financial Services
679 N Main St
Salem, AR 72576
Section 6.2. General Billing and Collection Matters
BHFCH sends patients account statements on a monthly (30-day) cycle. Generally, if the account is not paid, BHFCH will send three statements, with the final statement serving as final notice that the account may be referred to a third-party collection agency if payment is not received within 30 days after the date of the final notice. BHFCH requires any collection agency it uses to agree to refrain from abusive collection practices.
BHFCH will not engage in "extraordinary collection actions" until reasonable efforts have been made to determine whether an individual is eligible for assistance under this Policy. Extraordinary collection actions include selling debt to third parties (except as legally allowed), reporting to consumer credit reporting agencies and credit bureaus, denying future medical care because of nonpayment, filing lawsuits, foreclosing on real estate, attaching or seizing bank accounts or personal property, placing liens on residences, arrests, body attachments, and similar activities.
If a patient account has been referred to a collection agency, that patient may still apply for financial assistance for a period of 120 days. While the application is being completed and while the determination of eligibility for financial assistance is pending, collection efforts will be suspended.
Section 6.3. Notices to be Provided Before Extraordinary Collection Actions are Taken
BHFCH may initiate an extraordinary collection action against a QFAR under certain circumstances. First, BHFCH may initiate extraordinary collection actions when it provides the patient with at least 30 days' written notice that the action is being initiated and provides a deadline for the patient to bring his or her account current. With that notice, BHFCH will provide a plain language summary of this Policy. BHFCH will also make reasonable efforts to provide the patient with oral notice that it is initiating an extraordinary collection action.
BHFCH recognizes that some patients will receive multiple episodes of care or care on multiple occasions. In that event, BHFCH will only initiate an extraordinary collection action on the aggregate of the patient's outstanding bills after 120 days have passed since BHFCH provided the first post-discharge billing statement for the patient's most recent episode of care.
Section 6.4. Limitation on Charges
If a patient has been determined to be a Qualified Financial Assistance Recipient under this Policy and receives care from a provider with the hospital or a substantially related clinic, that provider will limit the charges to the patient. For emergency and other medically necessary care, the patient cannot be charged more than the amounts generally billed for such care (Section 4.2). For all other care, the patient must be charged less than gross charges. "Charges," for purposes of this Section, mean the amount the patient is personally responsible for paying, after all deductions, discounts, insurance reimbursements, or other reductions have been applied. This applies to care provided outside the hospital, a department of the hospital, or a provider-based clinic, and includes all clinics or other medical facilities substantially related to BHFCH for tax purposes.
Section 7. MAJOR MEDICAL EXPENSES
Out of pocket patient obligations resulting from medical services provided by Baxter Health Fulton County Hospital will not exceed the following thresholds:
- If family income is more than 300% but not in excess of 400% of the federal poverty level, the maximum out of pocket is 35% of family income.
- If family income is more than 400% but not in excess of 600% of the federal poverty level, the maximum out of pocket is 45% of family income.
- If family income is more than 600% of the federal poverty level, the maximum out of pocket is 55% of family income.
