About
Farmers Union Hospital Association, DBA Great Plains Regional Medical Center in Elk City, Oklahoma (hereinafter referred to as GPRMC) is a 62-bed hospital that provides quality health care regardless of race, religion, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, age or ability to pay. Reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of GPRMC, it is recognized that not all individuals possess the ability to purchase essential medical services. In keeping with the Hospital's commitment to serve all members of its community, free care and/or subsidized care, care provided to persons covered by government programs at below cost, and health care activities and programs to support the community will be considered whether the need and/or individual's inability to pay exists.GPRMC served over 1,596 patients with more than 5,821 patient days on an inpatient basis. We also had 55,651 outpatient encounters. During the year we treated 13,283 patients in the Emergency Department. Our Surgical teams performed 2,570 outpatient surgeries. GPRMC provides care to persons covered by governmental and other programs as part of its mission to the community. These programs may not pay full charges to the extent reimbursement is below full charges. GPRMC recognized these amounts as contractual adjustments in meeting its mission to the entire community. Also, in recognizing its mission to the community, GPRMC provides services for those unable to pay. Additionally, GPRMC has provided services to others who are either unwilling or unable to qualify for charity care guidelines but who are still unable to pay. Community benefit is also provided by GPRMC by providing reduced price services, free programs offered throughout the year which GPRMC believes will serve a bona fide community health need. See Schedule H for more information regarding these activities.The Hospital provides health care services to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity policy without charge or amounts less than established rates. Because the Hospital does not pursue collection amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not recorded as revenue. The amount of charges foregone for services provided under the Hospital's charity care policy were approximately $680,264 in 2018. Total direct and indirect cost related to these foregone charges were $215,000 at June 30, 2018, based on an average ratios of cost to gross charges.
