9. Respondent failed to comply with the conditions set forth in its CON, as

408.035, a statement of intent by the applicant that a specified percentage of the
annual patient days at the facility will be utilized by patients eligible for care under
Title XIX of the Social Security Act. Any certificate of need issued to a nursing
home in reliance upon an applicant's statements that a specified percentage of
annual patient days will be utilized by residents eligible for care under Title XIX of
the Social Security Act must include a statement that such certification is a
condition of issuance of the certificate of need. The certificate-of-need program

community diversion pilot project is implemented.
(c) A certificate holder may apply to the agency for a modification of conditions
imposed under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b). If the holder of a certificate of need
demonstrates good cause why the certificate should be modified, the agency shall

account as mitigation the degree of noncompliance.

5. The source of the data for the measure.
The sources of the data were the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 Patient Accounting
Systems Census Reports and Account details from the Patient Accounting System.
6. Reasonableness of the measures and confidence in measures.
The measure used to calculate compliance with the CON conditions is the generally
accepted approach to measuring a percentage of patient days attributable to specific payors.
We are confident in the data reported because it ties to the Hospital’s billing records and
general ledger totals.
7. Person and position responsible for defining measures and supplying
compliance report.
Angela Whitehurst, Accounting Manager
Tony Bennett, CEO
8. Any information necessary to determine compliance with the condition.
At HealthSouth Emerald Coast Rehabilitation Hospital, there is a full, good faith
effort to comply with all CON requirements. It is our policy to accept any patients
who are medically appropriate for rehabilitation, when open beds are available.
This policy is applied regardless of the patient’s financial coverage or the ability to
pay.
9, Reasons, with supporting data, why the, certificate of need holder was
unable to meet the conditions set forth on the face of the certificate of
need.
As a specialty designated rehabilitation hospital, at HealthSouth, we are licensed to treat
specific clinical criteria for admission (in addition té diagnostic requirements). These
clinical criteria in¢lude: appropriateness of admission and ability to progress, benefit
in/from rehabilitation services, and established disposition upon discharge. These criteria
apply to all payor types, including Medicaid and indigent.
During 2004, 32 defined charity referrals resulted in 20 charity admissions. Of the 12
potential charity patients who were not admitted:
o 4 refused admission and chose to go an alternate rehabilitation facility, to a
skilled nursing facility, or to go home with home health or outpatient services
o 1 died
© 5 were inappropriate for admission based bn requirements for a licensed
tehabilitation facility

HEALTHSOUTH
Emerald Coast Rehabilitation Hospital
© 2 cases were during times when the hospital had 100% census, and therefore had
not beds available. Referral was no longer valid when beds became available.
None were turned away due to their lack of funding or their inability to pay.
During 2004, 62 defined Medicaid referrals resulted.in 36 Medicaid admissions. Of the 26
potential Medicaid patients who were not admitted:
© 12tefused admission and chose to go to am alternate rehabilitation facility, to a
skilled nursing facility, or to go home with home health or outpatient services
© 9 were inappropriate for admission based on requirements for a licensed
rehabilitation facility.
© 5 were denied a precertification by the Medicaid program.
The patient days and referrals listed above are for Non-Medicare patients. While
many Medicare patients may have Medicaid or be considered indigent, they are
only considered as Medicare for our calculations. Medicare patient days made up
86% of the total patient days at this facility for 2004. From the remaining 14% of
total patient days, 17.38% were Medicaid and 11.3% were charity; both exceeding
the requirements when considering only Non-Medicare patients.
Consistent with the Florida Administrative Code, section 59C-1.013(3) c, we believe we
have complied in good faith, as best as the market can deliver, compliance with the
Medicaid and charity care patient days available and as presented to our hospital. Our
internal calculations clearly demonstrate good faith efforts in accepting all indigent and
Medicaid patients referred and who have met criteria and who accepted and agreed to
come to this facility.
HEALTHSOUTH Emerald Coast Rehabilitation Hospital will continue to serve all
patient populations and strive to meet or exceed the CON requirements.
If further information is required, please feel free to contact me at (850) 914-8603.
Thank you.
