AS A MEMBER OF INTEGRIS HEALTH AND A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, EACH YEAR IHWH PROVIDES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. WHILE THIS CARE REPRESENTS A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF IHWH'S GIFT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, IT IS STILL ONLY PART OF WHAT IHWH CHOOSES TO CALL RETURNSHIP. RETURNSHIP EPITOMIZES IHWH'S MISSION OF GIVING BACK TO ITS COMMUNITY. IT TAKES THE FORM OF HUNDREDS OF PROGRAMS AND ACTS OF CHARITY PROVIDED DAILY ACROSS THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA - FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS, SUPPORT GROUPS, MEDICAL SERVICES, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, HEALTH FAIRS AND MORE. IN ADDITION, IHWH PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF UNCOMPENSATED SERVICES. UNCOMPENSATED SERVICES ARE THE COSTS OF PROVIDING FREE AND REDUCED COST CARE, WHICH INCLUDES CHARITY CARE AND UNPAID COSTS OF MEDICAID PROGRAMS. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL, IHWH PROVIDES SERVICES TO EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY OR THEIR INSURANCE COVERAGE. THUS, IT PROVIDES A MUCH-NEEDED SAFETY NET FOR MEMBERS OF THE IHWH COMMUNITY WHO WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE NO ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE. CHARITY CARE COSTS ARE BASED ON THE OVERALL HOSPITAL COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. IHWH PROVIDED CHARITY CARE OF $578,786. IHWH ALSO PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVES INADEQUATE PAYMENTS IN PRIOR YEARS. UNPAID COSTS OF MEDICAID PROGRAMS REFLECT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COSTS TO PROVIDE PATIENT CARE SERVICES AND THE RATE AT WHICH THE HOSPITAL IS REIMBURSED. MEDICAID COSTS ARE BASED ON THE OVERALL HOSPITAL COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. IHPCH DID NOT HAVE UNPAID COST IN THE FISCAL YEAR AND AS A RESULT CHOSE TO REINVEST THE FUNDING BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY BY FOCUSING ON THE COMMUNITY NEEDS AS DOCUMENTED IN SCHEDULE H.
