EHR Incentive Payments

Background American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Established incentive payments for professionals and hospitals that meaningfully use certified electronic health record (EHR) technology Goal of incenting hospitals to use EHR to: Improve quality, safety, efficiency Improve coordination of health care Maintain privacy/security 4

Medicare Incentive Payments Incentive payment consists of: Base sum of $2 million Plus $200 per discharge (between 1,150 23,000) Collectively multiplied by the Medicare share and a transition factor from 100% (Year 1) to 25% (Year 4) Incentive payments unavailable for hospitals that first become meaningful users after 2015 5

Medicare EHR Accounting and Reporting HFMA Issue Analysis Paper December 2011 www.hfma.org/EHRPayments Overview of Accounting Models Contingency Grant SEC registrants vs. Non-registrants 6

Medicare EHR Accounting and Reporting Contingency Accounting Model Contingencies must be resolved prior to recognizing revenue Compliance with meaningful use for full reporting period Discharge information related to discharges in the hospitals cost report year that begins in EHR reporting period EHR reporting period is based on Federal fiscal year of October 1 through September 30 th Consequently, under this model typically the contingency related to discharge and other final payment calculation data is not met until the last day of the cost report year Incentive payment income recorded entirely in period last contingency resolved SEC has informally indicated that registrants should follow this model 7

Medicare EHR Accounting and Reporting Grant Accounting Model Grant income is recognized Hospital complies with grant requirements Payment is reasonably assured Cliff recognition Hospital unable to determine compliance until after EHR reporting period has ended Income recognized all at once 8

Medicare EHR Accounting and Reporting Grant Accounting Model (continued) Estimation recognition Reasonable assurance of compliance with minimum number of meaningful use criteria and other grant requirements Income recognized ratably over the period once reasonable assurance is met If reasonable assurance met during interim point during the reporting period, then a cumulative catch-up adjustment is made If reasonable assurance is no longer met, then a change in estimate would be made in that period 9

Medicare EHR Accounting and Reporting Reasonable assurance is judgmental How long has the hospital been operating and EHR system? How far along is the hospital with implementing computer physician order entry (CPOE)? How reliable are the processes and controls in place? Is the hospital doing the bare minimum to qualify for meaningful use (i.e. in Stage 1, hospitals have to comply with 14 core objectives and 5 of 10 menu set objectives)? 10

Medicare EHR Accounting and Reporting Statement of operations presentation Nongovernmental hospitals -Operating or non-operating on a facility basis that complies with existing GAAP Governmental hospitals -GASB standards identify what should be reported in the non- operating cash flows category -Revenue associated with operating cash flows (i.e. EHR incentive payments) should be reported as operating revenue 12

Medicare EHR Accounting and Reporting Disclosures Accounting policy including financial statement presentation and method of income recognition General description of the program Based on best estimates subject to audit by the Federal government or its designee, with changes in estimate recognized in the period known Material changes in prior year estimates impacting current year income Overall extent of disclosures impacted by materiality 13

EHR Accounting and Reporting HFMA issues paper provides practical assistance on this emerging issue but is not authoritative. Stay tuned for additional guidance on EHR accounting and reporting. 14

Medicaid EHR Incentive Payments State Medicaid programs may also establish their own EHR meaningful use incentive programs Requirements for qualifying for receipt of Year 1 Medicaid EHR meaningful use incentive funds may be less rigorous than the Year 1 Medicare requirements Concepts in the HFMA Medicare issues paper may be helpful in determining accounting policy 15

ASU 2010-23: Charity Care Disclosure

Issued August 2010 Amends ASC 954 (Health Care Organizations) and AAG-HCO Whats Changing? Charity care disclosure must be based on estimated costs of providing the services -Include direct and indirect costs -Variety of estimation approaches permitted Also disclose -Measurement approach utilized -Amount of any funds received to offset or subsidize charity services provided Effective Date and Transition Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 Early application permitted Requires retrospective application to prior periods presented 18

ASU 2010-23: Charity Care Disclosure Illustrations Organization that uses cost accounting system data Of the Health Systems total expenses reported ($100,000,000 and $125,000,000 in 20x1 and 20x0, respectively), an estimated $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 arose during 20x1 and 20x0, respectively, from providing services to charity patients. The estimated costs of providing charity services are based on data derived from the System's cost accounting system. The System received $100,000 and $75,000 in contributions that were restricted for the care of indigent patients during 20x1 and 20x0, respectively Organization that uses cost-to-charge ratio Of the Hospitals $80 million of total expenses reported, an estimated $12.5 million arose from providing services to charity patients. The estimated costs of providing charity services are based on a calculation which applies a ratio of costs to charges to the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing care to charity patients. The ratio of cost to charges is calculated based on the Hospitals total expenses (less bad debt expense) divided by gross patient service revenue. During the year, Hospital received $2 million in grants from ABC County to help defray the costs of indigent care 19

ASU 2010-24: Health Care Entities Presentation of Insurance Claims and Related Insurance Recoveries

ASU 2010-24: Health Care Entities Display of Malpractice Claims And Other Similar Contingent Liabilities Applies to all health care entities Issued August 2010 Effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010 Retrospective application not required 21

ASU 2010-24: Health Care Entities Display of Malpractice Claims And Other Similar Contingent Liabilities Whats Changing? Clarifies that health care entities should not net insurance recoveries against related claim liabilities. Entity should evaluate its exposure to losses arising from claims and recognize a liability apart from any anticipated insurance recoveries. If the entity is indemnified for losses, it should recognize a receivable at the same time, measured on the same basis as the related liability, subject to the need for a valuation allowance for uncollectible amounts. 22

ILLUSTRATION ASU 2010-24: Health Care Entities Display of Malpractice Claims And Other Similar Contingent Liabilities ILLUSTRATION Facts HCOs gross liability for malpractice claims is $5 million Of that, $1.5 million has been submitted to the insurer under a claims-made policy Current Accounting Guidance Accrue a liability only for claims where risk has not been transferred to external third-party under the terms of the policy (ASC 954-450, AAG-HCO Chapter 8) HCO accrues a malpractice liability of $3.5 million Revised Guidance (ASU 2010-24) Accrue the gross liability Accrue an insurance receivable for claims covered by insurance at the reporting date HCO will accrue a malpractice liability of $5 million and an insurance receivable of $1.5 million 23

ASU 2010-24: Health Care Entities Display of Malpractice Claims And Other Similar Contingent Liabilities Additional Clarification (or Change!!!) Clarifies that health care entities should apply this gross up to all similar contingent obligations (e.g., workers compensation) The transfer of risk to a third-party concept was removed so the gross up applies to all policies (e.g., Occurrence based policies) The ASU requires the accrual of legal and processing costs related to these contingent obligations (whereas, accruing legal costs is generally considered a policy election for other industries) 24

ASU 2011-04: Fair Value Measurement

Final ASU issued in May with 300+ pages Converges US GAAP and IFRS rules on fair value measurement Effective: public entities,For public entities, effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 non-public entities,For non-public entities, effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 Applied prospectively Early adoption by public entities is not allowed, nonpublic entities can but no earlier than for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 26

ASU 2011-04: Fair Value Measurement Objectives: Primary Objective - Consistency in word used by the standard setters Secondary Objective Provide clarification and some refinement to measurement/valuation Expected Impact: No significant impact to measurement Significant additional disclosure, but generally expected to come from information that is readily available 27

Fair Value Accounting New Disclosures Required Disclose/describe sensitivity of measurement to changes in inputs Example: The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of ABC Companys residential mortgage-backed securities are prepayment rates, probability of default, and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Disclose ALL transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 (not just those that are significant) For fair value measurements included in FAS 107 disclosures, must indicate level and significant inputs used 28

ASU 2011-07: Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue

Formerly EITF 09-H Amends ASC 954, Health Care Entities Effective date For public entities, effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 For non public entities, effective for the first annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2012 30

ASU 2011-07: Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue Scope Applies to HCOs that recognize patient service revenue at the time services are rendered even though the HCO does not assess the patients ability to pay significantApplies only to HCOs that have significant (not defined, so will require judgment) amounts of such revenue patient service revenueApplies only to provision for bad debts associated with patient service revenue Does not apply to bad debts associated with any other sources of revenue 31

Examples Within Scope of ASU Hospital A serves a large population of patients who are unable to pay for services. Hospital must often provide treatment before it can obtain information on patients ability to pay. Many patients accounts that would otherwise qualify for charity care are written off to bad debts, because the patient cannot provide required documentation. Thus, Hospital As provision for bad debts is not a reflection of Hospital As credit risk. Its income statement has an artificial gross- up of revenue which is unlikely to ever be realized, with a large related bad debt write-off -Hospital A is within scope of ASU -Hospital A must show entire provision for bad debts associated with its patient service revenue as a deduction from revenue Not Affected by ASU Laboratory B assesses the expectation of collectability for every patient. If a patient is deemed to be unable to pay (and Lab B decides to provide the service anyway), no revenue is recorded for that patient. Lab Bs provision for bad debts is reflective of its credit risk. -Lab B is not within scope of ASU, because it assesses collectability prior to providing service -Lab B continues to report the provision for bad debts associated with its patient service revenue as an operating expense 32

Impact Of Adoption Of ASU 2011-07 Presentation After Statement of Operations Net patient service revenue$200,000 Provision for bad debts(80,000) Net revenue$120,000 Operating expenses (list)(115,000) Excess of revenues over expenses 5,000 Before Statement of Operations Net patient service revenue$200,000 Operating expenses: Specific expenses (listed)(115,000) Provision for bad debts(80,000) Total operating expenses(195,000) Excess of revenues over expenses 5,000 33

Impact Of Adoption Of ASU 2011-07 Disclosures Sources of revenue by major payor Policy for assessing the timing and amount of uncollectible revenue recognized as bad debts Policy for assessing collectability in determining the timing and amount of revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts) to be recognized Patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts) before any provision for bad debts Quantitative and qualitative information about significant changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts related to patient accounts receivable 34

ASU 2011-07: Draft AICPA Technical Practice Aid (TPA) in Consolidated Financials Question For a consolidated health care entity that prepares separate subsidiary statements, do you apply the ASU at the subsidiary level and roll the results up? Or do you make a separate assessment for the consolidated health care entity as a whole? ASU silent on this matter Policy decision 35

Miscellaneous Debt Topics

Definition Of Public Entity Some FASB GAAP differentiates between entities with debt or equity securities that trade in public markets and other entities Historically, has primarily affected extent of disclosures FSP FAS 126-1, Applicability of Certain Disclosure and Interim Reporting Requirements for Obligors for Conduit Debt Securities Affected organizations that issue municipal bonds through governmental issuers (conduit obligors) Conduit obligors whose bonds trade in public markets (e.g., the OTC market) are considered "public entities -Does not include private placements 38

Definition Of Public Entity Common misconceptions Public entity status does not -Require an NPO to apply FASB standards that exempt NPOs -Impose SEC or other regulatory filing requirements on NPOs -Result in an NPO being required to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley In the Codification, the public entity concept is dealt with primarily through the Glossary and the Scope sections of topics 39

Joint & Several Obligations Presentation in Obligated Group members standalone financial statements Pervasive practice allocation with disclosure Views: -Allocated portions (balance sheet and statement of operations) -Gross Presentation (100% recorded in each members financial statements) FASB is evaluating the issue 40

GASB Developments

Comprehensive reconsideration of GAS 14 Effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2012 Key aspects to consider: Component unit criteria Blending Disclosures GAS 61: The Financial Reporting Entity 42

GAS 61: The Financial Reporting Entity Amends Financial Accountability Concept Must be fiscally dependent on primary government (same as before) A financial benefit or burden relationship must also be present for the component unit to be included If any one of these conditions exists, then there is a financial benefit or burden relationship: Primary government is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the organizations resources Primary government is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization Financial Benefit or Burden Relationship -Primary government is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization 43

GAS 61: The Financial Reporting Entity Amends Major Component Unit Requirements Clarifies types of relationships that affect determination of major component units Eliminates requirement that the determination include consideration of each component units significance relative to other component units Amends The Criteria For Blending Component Units When the governing bodies of the two entities are substantively the same, a financial benefit or burden must also exist for blending to occur Blending will occur for component units whose total debt outstanding is expected to be repaid entirely or almost entirely by the primary government 44

GAS 61: The Financial Reporting Entity Amends requirements for reporting the funds of a blended component unit For financial reporting purposes, funds of a blended component unit have the same financial reporting requirements as the primary government Provides reporting guidance if the primary government is a business type activity that reports in a single column Amends requirements for reporting equity interests in component units Primary government must report an asset for its equity interest in a discretely presented component unit Amends note disclosures Governments should disclose the rationale for including each component unit and the manner in which it is included 45

Effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011 Key aspects to consider: Leasing Business combinations Goodwill Elimination of paragraph 7 option GAS 62: Codification of Pre-1989 FASB Standards 46

GAS 62: Codification of Pre-1989 FASB Standards Going forward, governmental entities will just rely on GASB standards If GASB doesnt have a standard that addresses the issue, then FASB codification can be used as an example and guide (but not authoritative) 47

Accounting changes and error corrections Capitalization of interest costs Contingencies Extinguishments of debt Imputation of interest costs Investments in common stock Leases Regulated operations Special and extraordinary items Statement of net assets classification GAS 62: Specific Topics Addressed 48
