In July 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) accepted our agreement to allow our existing clinic, located at 114 South Mountain Avenue, Springerville, AZ 85938, to participate as a rural health clinic (RHC) in the Medicare program under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act.As a community organization the facility plays a vital role in providing services essential to the quality of life for people in Apache County, Arizona and Catron County, New Mexico.The Hospital provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Because the Hospital does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue. The amount of charges foregone for services provided under the Hospital's charity care policy was approximately $62,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Total direct and indirect costs related to these foregone charges was approximately $23,000 as of December 31, 2022, based on an average ratio of cost to gross charges.
