        <ExplanationTxt>The amount reported in Part III, Line 6, was calculated following Schedule H instructions by utilizing allowable Medicare costs as reported in the Medicare cost report, which Piedmont bases on a cost-to-charge ratio. However, the allowable costs in the Medicare cost report do not reflect the actual cost of providing care to patients since the Medicare cost report excludes many direct patient care costs that are essential to providing quality healthcare for Medicare patients. For example, specific coverage fees to physicians, Medicare C and D costs, and other similar direct patient care expenses are expressly excluded from allowable costs in the Medicare Cost Report. IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545 provides, in part, that hospitals serving patients with governmental health insurance, such as Medicare, are an indication the hospital operates to promote health in the community. Piedmont's policy is to treat Medicare patients regardless of how much Medicare pays for the treatment. For many services, Medicare's reimbursement is less than the cost of the care provided, resulting in shortfalls the hospital will absorb in honor of its commitment to treating elderly patients. Many of these patients live on a low, fixed income and would qualify for financial assistance or other means-tested programs, absent from their enrollment in Medicare.</ExplanationTxt>

        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>As a designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospital, the Internal Revenue Service requires us to conduct a triennial community health needs assessment (CHNA) following regulations put forth by the IRS following the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Through this assessment, Piedmont hopes to understand local health challenges better, identify health trends in the community, determine gaps in the current health delivery system, and craft a plan to address those gaps and the identified health needs. In FY22, Piedmont conducted its fourth triennial CHNA, and FY24 was the second year of activities outlined in its subsequent Implementation Strategy. The CHNA was led by the Piedmont Healthcare community benefits team and consulting organization Public Goods Group (PGG), with input and direction from Piedmont leadership and Piedmont Healthcare's Department of External Affairs. Process The CHNA defined its community as its home county due to the impact of its tax-exempt status. Property taxes comprise a hospital's largest tax exemption segment, impacting county revenues. Because of this, Piedmont aims to ensure it provides ample benefit to its county and community. Additionally, Piedmont considers patient origin, especially that of lower-income patients who qualify for financial assistance or receive insurance coverage through Medicaid. Piedmont's secondary communities are considered the areas with the highest concentration of patients fitting that criterion, including those from nearby communities. Once Piedmont established its primary and secondary communities, it analyzed available public health data, including resources from the US Census, US Health and Human Services Community Health Status Indicators, US Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, National Center for Education Statistics, Kaiser Family Foundation's State Health Facts, American Heart Association, County Health Rankings and Georgia Online Analytical Statistical Information System (OASIS). All figures within the CHNA were for 2020 unless otherwise noted. Health indicators are estimates provided by County Health Rankings and the team internally sourced hospital data. PGG then interviewed key stakeholders with particular expertise or knowledge of the community. Specifically, PGG interviewed representatives of local and regional public health entities, minority populations, faith-based communities, local business owners, philanthropic communities, mental health agencies, elected officials, and individuals representing the community's most vulnerable patients. Piedmont conducted an internal survey system for both clinical and non-clinical employees. Piedmont gathered information on knowledge and understanding of community benefits, current programs, and suggestions for better serving patients and the overall community, regardless of where they receive care. Approximately 1,050 employees spanning the system responded. Additionally, Piedmont conducted a community-based survey that was widely advertised to the community. Once Piedmont gathered qualitative and quantitative data, Piedmont authored the preliminary report, which was vetted and reviewed by hospital and health system leadership. This report identified several key community health needs during the assessment process. The community benefits department recommended priorities with sign-off from hospital and board leadership. Piedmont used the following criteria to establish the priorities: - The number of people affected; - The seriousness of the issue; - Whether the health need particularly affected people living in poverty or reflected health disparities; and, - Availability of community and/or hospital resources to address the need. Piedmont views all priorities through the lens of health disparities, with particular attention paid to improving outcomes for those most vulnerable due to income and race. The chosen priorities reflected a collective agreement on what hospital leadership, staff, and the community felt was most important and within its ability to impact the issue positively. Once leadership approved the priorities, Piedmont authored the CHNA. Piedmont presented its findings and recommendations to the hospital's board of directors for their input and approval. FY22 priorities A key CHNA component is identifying the top health priorities the hospital will address over fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025. These priorities will guide the hospital's community benefit work. They are, in no order: - Ensure affordable access to health, mental, and dental care - Reduce preventable instances of and deaths from cancer - Promote healthy behaviors to reduce avoidable conditions, diseases, and addiction - Reduce preventable cases of and deaths from heart disease With each priority, Piedmont will work to achieve more significant health equity by reducing the impact of poverty and other socioeconomic indicators, building health equity into its work, which the hospital demonstrates through its implementation strategies. Hospital leadership and staff then developed the subsequent implementation strategy to address the identified priorities in the FY22 community health needs assessment. The implementation strategy was designed to be executed over three years. It included specific metrics by which hospital staff and the community could evaluate its work and impact. Piedmont developed the implementation strategy by utilizing community feedback from the assessment in partnership with the system community benefits department, system leadership, and the hospital's board of directors. Piedmont included proven and successful interventions and programming, investing further in work with the best chance of creating positive, sustainable change.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Piedmont understands that not everyone can pay their hospital bill due to their insurance status or limited income, and because of this, each hospital offers financial assistance to qualifying patients. Notification about financial assistance includes, but is not limited to, a dedicated contact number, notices within inpatient bills, and posted notices in key hospital areas. These locations are the emergency room, admitting and registration departments, business office, and patient financial services offices on site. Piedmont also publishes and widely publicizes a plain language summary of this financial assistance care policy and its full policy on its website. Any staff member can refer a patient to the financial assistance department, including physicians, nurses, financial counselors, social workers, case managers, chaplains, and religious sponsors. The patient may request financial assistance from a family member, close friend, or associate of the patient, subject to applicable privacy laws. Additionally, Piedmont provides copies of its financial assistance policy to partner clinics and others who work closely with low-income populations. Piedmont helps its partners understand the policy and how it relates to their populations, and it receives feedback on improving its financial assistance programming.</ExplanationTxt>

        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>While Piedmont Macon serves patients from all over central Georgia, the hospital considers its community Bibb County in recognition of the direct impact of its tax-exempt status on county residents. In Bibb County, an average of more than 156,600 people lived in the 250-square-mile area each year between 2018 and 2022. The population density for this area, estimated at approximately 628 people per square mile, is greater than the national average population density of 94 people per square mile. Bibb is primarily urban, as 86 percent of community members live within an urban setting. An average of about 7 percent of the population were veterans each year from 2018 to 2022, and half of those were aged 65 and older. Approximately 16 percent of the population - about 24,500 people - lived with a disability. Most of that population was above the age of 65. Between 2018 and 2022, about 37 percent of all Bibb County residents were white, 54 percent were African American, 4 percent were Hispanic/Latino, 2 percent were Asian, and the remaining percent is comprised of other races. About 24 percent of the population was 17 or younger, 16 percent were above 65, and the remaining was between 18 and 64. About 3 percent identified as being born outside of the US, and approximately half did not possess US citizenship status. Each year from 2018 to 2022, an average of nearly 14 percent of the population had no form of insurance. Insurance status and health are inextricably linked. Being uninsured is generally a marker of low income, as the overwhelming majority of those who are uninsured are also within specific ranges of the federal poverty guidelines, meaning populations are also likely to face myriad other social determinants of health (SDH), like housing and food insecurity. Adults ages 18 to 64 are most likely to be uninsured, and that's true in Bibb County. On average, about 21 percent of adults ages 18 to 64 were uninsured each year from 2018 to 2022. Approximately five percent of teens and children under age 18 were uninsured. As with other indicators, race matters. Approximately 13 percent of Hispanic/Latino populations, 10 percent of Asian populations, 14 percent of Black or African American populations, and 11 percent of white populations were uninsured. Between 2018 and 2022, the median household income was $48,897, much lower than state and national levels of $71,355 and $75,149, respectively. Of employers in the community, the largest sector by number of employees was Health care and social assistance, which employed 18,400 community members at an average wage of $65,957 in 2022, according to the US Department of Commerce. Retail trade was the next largest sector, employing about 12,900 workers at an average wage of $36,671. The third largest job sector was finance and insurance, with over 12,600 employed at an average salary of $60,500. According to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey, about 70,500 people in the community were part of the labor force, and only 2,900 - about 5 percent - were unemployed as of November 2024. Of the approximately 59,500 total occupied households in Bibb County, more than 21,000 - about 35 percent - of the population lived in cost-burdened households, in which housing costs are 30 percent or more of total household income. Renters occupied about 52 percent of these households. Approximately 18 percent of households had costs that exceeded 50 percent of the household income, which places households in significant financial strain. In Bibb County, in 2019, fifteen of the county's 44 census tracts were food deserts. About 47,100 people lived within these census tracts. These tracts almost directly correspond with census tracts, demonstrating retailers authorized to take SNAP benefits. In Bibb County, like most of the state, those retailers tend to be convenience and discount stores that carry limited, if any, healthy foods. Increasingly, discount stores like Dollar General have some sort of produce section, which is inconsistent among communities. Low food access means living more than one mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket, supercenter, or large grocery store. This indicator is relevant because it highlights populations and geographies facing food insecurity. According to the 2019 Food Access Research Atlas database, 32 percent of the total population in the county has low food access, meaning more than 50,100 county residents may struggle to access healthy foods, much higher than the state and national rates of about 31 percent and 22 percent, respectively. In 2022, about 80 percent of adults aged 18 or older saw a doctor for a routine checkup the previous year. For Medicare recipients, this number jumps to around 87 percent of adult beneficiaries, which is above both state and national averages. Routine checkups are critical to maintaining good health and identifying conditions that can be treated affordably in a community-based setting. Absent that, even simple-to-treat conditions can escalate to deeper issues, eventually requiring more intensive care, later-stage diagnoses, or reduced life expectancy. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in Bibb County, with a disproportionate impact on White populations. Between 2018 and 2022, the age-adjusted death rate was about 306 deaths for every 100,000 people, a rate much higher than the state and national averages. Although heart disease is the leading cause of death in the county, cancer remains a critical issue within the community. The average cancer incidence rate for Bibb County each year between 2016 and 2020 was about 467 incidences per every 100,000 people, which equates to an average diagnosis rate of 845 new cases each year. In 2021, 12 percent of adults aged 20 and older had diabetes, which is greater than the state and national averages of 10 and 9, respectively. Diabetes is a prevalent problem in the US, often indicating an unhealthy lifestyle, and it puts individuals at risk for further health issues. Diabetes itself is usually a killer and is the leading cause of death for minorities, mainly Hispanic/Latino populations. In 2021, approximately four percent of the county's population had a diagnosis of kidney disease, a rate slightly higher than the state and national averages. In 2021, 36 percent of the total population age 18 and older reported having high cholesterol. Too much cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death within the county.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Piedmont actively promotes the health of its community through clinic-hospital partnerships, community-based health screenings, educational activities, community-building activities, the operation of a 24-hour emergency department available to the community as a whole, the operation of an emergency room open to all members of the community without regard to ability to pay, a governance board composed of community members, use of surplus revenue for facilities improvement, patient care, and medical training, education, and research, the provision of inpatient hospital care for all persons in the community able to pay, including those covered by Medicare and Medicaid, and an open medical staff with privileges available to all qualifying physicians. In FY24, Piedmont Macon Medical Center provided care to low-income patients at a cost of $11.2 million. Of that amount, Piedmont Macon provided $10.2 million in direct financial assistance and covered $1 million in shortfalls from providing care to patients with Medicaid coverage. Piedmont Macon also trained future healthcare professionals for $5.5 million, which included more than two dozen specialties within the hospital, such as physical therapy and pharmacy technician training. Piedmont further built the Empowering You platform to connect community members and patients with resources to address social determinants of health issues. Powered by FindHelp.org, Piedmont clinicians and case managers can search and refer patients to supporting organizations, including referrals to local food banks and housing resources. Please note that Piedmont Macon Medical Center conducts all community activities in partnership with Piedmont Macon North Hospital. In FY24, Piedmont Macon prioritized increasing access points for affordable health care by providing free-of-charge physician support and funding to partner clinic Community Health Care Systems, a nonprofit charitable clinic serving low-income, vulnerable populations in the community. In total, the hospital provided $365,510 to the clinic. Piedmont Macon Behavioral Health partnered with Al-Anon to provide a bi-monthly support group for aftercare after addiction. Piedmont invested $5,400 in the group, which impacted 50 community members. Piedmont Macon provides psychiatry support to the residents of Daybreak. This shelter offers Macon's homeless population health care, food, showers, laundry, and a safe place to sleep when the temperature is below freezing.
