Overview
Mission
To provide compassionate, high-quality healthcare services to the communities we serve, reflecting our faith-based heritage.
What it reported doing in 2014
Baptist Physicians Lexington, Inc. (BPL) was organized and operated to benefit the member hospitals of Baptist Healthcare System (Baptist). BPL employed 98 physicians and operated 29 physician practices in the Lexington, KY area. In addition to the physician practices, BPL also operated 20 Baptist Express Cares facilities. These clinics are staffed by Advanced Practice Registered Nurses and located in area Wal-Mart stores. During the short year ended 12/31/2014, BPL had 165,878 visits at the forty-nine locations. These primary care business lines were established to address the declining number of primary care physicians and the growing need for less costly and more convenient community-based healthcare locations within the communities served. They provide high quality care to patients requiring urgent primary care services and extend the continuum of care for patients requiring diagnostic, surgical or emergency intervention through "linkages" with local area hospitals and physician specialists. BPL provided the following community benefits: Cost of charity $20,640 Medicaid cost in excess of reimbursement $1,395,551 Cost of bad debt $404,120 Medicare cost in excess of reimbursement $6,688,818 ----------- Total $8,509,129
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
