Explanation	EXPLANATION FOR NON-RECOURSE SPLIT DOLLAR TRANSACTION WITH CAROL BURRELL, PRESIDENT & CEO:NGHS PROVIDES SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS THROUGH AN ALTERNATIVE FUNDING ARRANGEMENT THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REFERS TO AS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT SPLIT DOLLAR (CASD). ALTHOUGH THE IRS REQUIRES REPORTING IN THE LOAN SECTION OF SCHEDULE L, CASD IS NOT AN ACTUAL LOAN AND NO FUNDS ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE EXECUTIVE. RATHER, THE "LOAN" TREATMENT APPLIES BECAUSE, AFTER THE EXECUTIVE HAS RECEIVED RETIREMENT BENEFITS, NGHS WILL RECOVER ALL OF ITS OUTLAYS PLUS INTEREST. THE RECOVERY RIGHT IS A KEY ADVANTAGE OF CASD FOR THE ORGANIZATION. RATHER THAN PAYING RETIREMENT BENEFITS TO THE EXECUTIVE THAT WOULD NEVER BE RECOVERED, UNDER CASD NGHS WILL RECOVER NOT ONLY ITS OUTLAYS, BUT ALSO CONSIDERATION FOR THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY.CASD WORKS AS FOLLOWS. NGHS DEPOSITS FUNDS INTO A CASH VALUE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY ON THE EXECUTIVE'S LIFE. DURING LIFE, TO THE EXTENT THE EXECUTIVE FULFILLS SERVICE AND VESTING REQUIREMENTS, THE EXECUTIVE CAN BORROW AGAINST VALUES IN THE POLICY TO SUPPLEMENT RETIREMENT INCOME. POLICY PERFORMANCE IS CLOSELY MONITORED. IF POLICY PERFORMANCE LAGS, THE EXECUTIVE'S BORROWING RIGHTS ARE REDUCED TO PROTECT NGHS'S RECOVERY RIGHTS.AT THE EXECUTIVE'S DEATH, THE POLICY DEATH PROCEEDS ARE FIRST USED TO REPAY NGHS ITS DEPOSITS PLUS COMPOUNDED INTEREST (AT THE IRS LONG-TERM APPLICABLE FEDERAL RATE). THE EXECUTIVE'S BENEFICIARY THEN RECEIVES ANY PROJECTED RETIREMENT BORROWING THE EXECUTIVE DID NOT ACCESS DURING LIFE.	ExplanationTxt

JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH, AND NEWTOWN FLORIST CLUB MET TO DISCUSS COVID-19 IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. THIS PANEL SHARED CASE DATA ON COVID-19 BY RACE/ETHNICITY, ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID-19, AND DISCUSSED MYTHS ABOUT THE VIRUS AND VACCINATION. IN SEPTEMBER 2021, THE PARTNERS HOSTED A VIRTUAL PANEL IN WHICH PANELISTS DISCUSSED THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH THE VACCINE AND OTHER TOPICS RELATED TO COVID-19.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	IN 2021, NGMC HOSPITALS PROVIDED CHARITY CARE IN THE COMMUNITY AT THE COST OF AN ESTIMATED $77.7 MILLION AND RECEIVED NO LOCAL TAX REVENUE FROM HALL COUNTY, OR ANY OTHER COUNTIES, TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS OR CARE PROVIDED TO INDIGENT RESIDENTS. THE CHARITY CARE POLICY PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UP TO 300 PERCENT OF THE POVERTY LEVEL MANY HOSPITALS PROVIDE CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS ONLY TO THE LEVEL THAT MATCHES THE STATE DEFINITION OF MEDICALLY INDIGENT BUT NOT AT THE LEVEL THAT NGMC OFFERS. THE HEALTH SYSTEM SERVED MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE IN 18 COUNTIES ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA, LED BY VOLUNTEER BOARDS OF COMMUNITY LEADERS. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM, ALL REVENUE GENERATED ABOVE OPERATING EXPENSES WAS RETURNED TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH IMPROVED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS.

NGMC WAS THE PRIMARY HOSPITAL FOR LOW-INCOME PATIENTS IN GAINESVILLE-HALL COUNTY AND THROUGHOUT THE REGION IN COUNTIES SUCH AS BANKS, LUMPKIN, RABUN, UNION, AND WHITE, WHERE MANY KEY MEDICAL SPECIALTIES ARE UNAVAILABLE. NGMC TAX FUNDING: SINCE 2000, NGMC GAINESVILLE HAS PROVIDED NEARLY THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF INDIGENT AND CHARITY CARE OUTLINED IN REQUIREMENTS BY THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH TO PASS A CERTIFICATE OF NEED FOR NEW SERVICES SUCCESSFULLY. UNLIKE MANY GEORGIA NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS HELD TO THE SAME REQUIREMENTS, NGMC DOES NOT RECEIVE TAX FUNDING FROM ITS LOCAL COUNTY TO HELP FUND INDIGENT CARE FOR AREA RESIDENTS. NGMC GAINESVILLE WAS SIXTH IN THE TOP HOSPITALS FOR NET UNCOMPENSATED CARE ($73.4 M) PROVIDED IN GEORGIA BASED ON STATE FISCAL YEAR (SFY) 2020 INDIGENT CARE TRUST FUND (ICTF) TOTAL HOSPITAL SPECIFIC DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL (DSH) LIMITS; MANY OF THE HOSPITALS ON THE LIST RECEIVED LOCAL TAX DOLLARS, WHILE NGMC DID NOT, (SFY RUNS FROM JULY 1- JUNE 30).

IN FY21, NGMC'S PAYOR MIX AT GAINESVILLE AND BRASELTON WAS 60 PERCENT MEDICARE/MEDICAID, 31 PERCENT COMMERCIAL/OTHER INSURANCE AND 9 PERCENT SELF-PAY. - IN FY21, NGMC'S PAYOR MIX AT BARROW WAS 55 PERCENT FOR MEDICARE/ MEDICAID, 30 PERCENT FOR COMMERCIAL/OTHER INSURANCE AND 15 PERCENT FOR SELF-PAY. - IN FY21, NGMC'S PAYOR MIX AT LUMPKIN WAS 50 PERCENT FOR MEDICARE/ MEDICAID, 34 PERCENT FOR COMMERCIAL/OTHER INSURANCE AND 16 PERCENT FOR SELF-PAY.

CREATE A GOVERNING BOARD THAT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES; - MORE THAN 90 COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN GOVERNANCE THROUGH NORTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM, NGMC AND OTHER SUBSIDIARY BOARDS AND COMMITTEES. REINVESTMENT OF SURPLUS FUNDS IN OPERATIONS: AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, THE REVENUE GENERATED BY NGMC AND ITS PARENT ORGANIZATION NORTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM, ABOVE OPERATING EXPENSES, IS REINVESTED INTO THE COMMUNITY. EXAMPLES INCLUDE INVESTMENTS IN ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEMS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART RADIATION THERAPY EQUIPMENT, A LEVEL 2 TRAUMA CENTER'S DEVELOPMENT, AND BARROW, THE ONLY FACILITY TO OFFER 3D MAMMOGRAPHY IN THAT COUNTY.

IN ADDITION, NGMC RECEIVED $3.7 MILLION IN NET FUNDS ALLOCATED THROUGH THE MEDICAID UPL PROGRAM TO ADJUST MEDICAID PAYMENTS UPWARD TO MATCH MEDICARE PAYMENT LEVELS. THE INDIGENT CARE TRUST FUND IS A PROGRAM THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1990, WHICH EXPANDS MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY AND SERVICES. IT SUPPORTS RURAL HEALTHCARE FACILITIES THAT SERVE THE MEDICALLY INDIGENT AND FUNDS PRIMARY HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS FOR MEDICALLY INDIGENT GEORGIANS. GEORGIA'S DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL (DSH) PROGRAM IS FUNDED THROUGH THE ICTF. IT ASSISTS HOSPITALS AND OTHER HEALTH PROVIDERS THAT CARE FOR HIGH PROPORTIONS OF MEDICAID, UNINSURED, AND/OR LOW-INCOME PATIENTS.
