MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER, INC.	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION PROCESS INCLUDED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HEALTH NEEDS SURVEY THAT WAS DESIGNED, APPROVED, AND DISTRIBUTED BY THE STEERING COMMITTEE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. THE SURVEY QUESTIONS WERE DEVELOPED BASED ON THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SURVEY (BRFSS) QUESTIONS THAT ALLOWED COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS WITH DATA FROM THE MOST RECENT BRFSS INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL. IN ADDITION, FEEDBACK FROM THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION WAS OBTAINED TO HELP EXPLAIN THE PERCEIVED BARRIERS THAT PREVENT PEOPLE FROM ACCESSING HEALTH CARE SERVICES: FINANCES, TRANSPORTATION, HOURS OF OPERATION, SOCIAL NEEDS, LIMITATIONS, ETC. THE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS WRITTEN IN ENGLISH AND TRANSLATED TO SPANISH, AND WAS DISTRIBUTED BOTH ELECTRONICALLY VIA EMAIL AND WEBSITES AS WELL AS VIA WRITTEN COPIES. THE SURVEY PERIOD WAS OPEN FROM JUNE 25, 2018 - SEPTEMBER 14, 2018. A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF 1,514 WASHINGTON COUNTY ADULTS RESPONDED AND COMPLETED THE SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE. THE SURVEY PROCESS WAS DESIGNED TO OBTAIN A SAMPLE THAT MIRRORED THE CENSUS POPULATION, RACIAL/ETHNIC AND SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC MAKE-UP OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY COORDINATING THE PROMOTION OF THE SURVEY COUNTY-WIDE BY THE HEALTH SYSTEMS AND PROVIDERS INCLUDING THE FREE CLINIC, GOVERNMENT, SCHOOL SYSTEM, SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND THE LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.WHILE THE COMMUNITY SURVEY PROCESS OBTAINED AN EXCELLENT REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY, WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT INPUT WAS OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO WERE NOT WELL REPRESENTED IN THE SURVEY SAMPLE. WE FOCUSED ON THE UNDER-REPRESENTED PERCENTAGES IN THE SURVEY THAT INCLUDED MEN, AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANIC COMMUNITIES. IN AN EFFORT TO OBTAIN IN-DEPTH FEEDBACK RELATED TO THE BIGGEST HEALTH CHALLENGES AND ASSETS IN THE COMMUNITY, WE INTERVIEWED PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITAL CARE MANAGERS. FINALLY, WE FOCUSED ON POPULATIONS WITH SPECIFIC HEALTH CHALLENGES TO INCLUDE SENIORS AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE). THE SERIES OF FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED FROM AUGUST 28, 2018, TO NOVEMBER 2, 2018. FINALLY, A PUBLIC MEETING WAS HELD NOVEMBER 20, 2018 TO REVIEW THE DATA AND PRIORITIZE THE HEALTH NEEDS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER, INC.	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: THE OTHER GROUPS INVOLVED IN THE CHNA CREATION ARE BROOKLANE, HEALTHY WASHINGTON COUNTY AND WASHINGTON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER, INC.	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: AS A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, MMC PURPOSEFULLY INCORPORATES OUR COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY SERVICE INTO OUR INTERNAL MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES AS WELL AS STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL PLANS. MMC CONDUCTS A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EVERY THREE YEARS TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND SERVICE GAPS. AN ACTION PLAN OF INITIATIVES AND GOALS IS DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS THE PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS. THE ACTION PLAN IS REVIEWED BY THE MMC STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE AND APPROVED BY THE MMC BOARD. THE MOST RECENT PRIORITIZED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS FROM FY 2019 MMC CHNA INCLUDE:1. REDUCE SUBSTANCE ABUSE TO PROTECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE2. IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH PREVENTION AND BY ENSURING ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE, QUALITY MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT3. PROMOTE HEALTH AND REDUCE RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASE THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF CONSUMING A HEALTHY DIET AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY4. IMPROVE HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE AND WELL-BEING FOR PERSONS LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY, SMOKING CESSATION AND MEDICATION ADHERENCE5. IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES AND REDUCE MORTALITY6. REDUCE HEART DISEASE MORTALITY AND MANAGE HYPERTENSIONAT THE CONCLUSION OF THE CHNA DATA ASSESSMENT, IT WAS RECOGNIZED THAT MANY MORE NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED AND EXIST THAN CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY MET BY THE HOSPITALS ALONE DUE TO LIMITED, FINITE RESOURCES. THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERION AND ASSIGNED WEIGHTS ASSISTED THE COALITION TO NARROW THE FOCUS AND DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT WOULD HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT FOR IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WHEN OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE A MISSION ALIGNED TO MEET THE CHNA NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED, THE NEED WAS SCORED AS A LOWER PRIORITY FOR MMC, AVOIDING THE DUPLICATION OF EXISTING COMMUNITY SERVICES AND PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY TO COORDINATE THE LINKAGE OF PATIENTS TO ALTERNATIVE SERVICES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE. OUR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS ARE USING THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA TO HELP TARGET THESE UNMET NEEDS BASED ON STRENGTHS, EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES OF INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND WHERE INTERESTS ARE SHARED, NEW COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE FORMED. OTHER IDENTIFIED CHNA NEEDS NOT ADDRESSEDAT THE CONCLUSION OF THE CHNA HEALTH NEEDS RANKING, IT WAS RECOGNIZED THAT MANY MORE NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED AND EXIST THAN THE TOP SIX IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS ALONE. SOME OF THE HEALTH NEEDS THAT WERE NOT IDENTIFIED AS THE HIGHEST RANKED PRIORITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY INCLUDE CANCER, ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE, TEEN PREGNANCY, SENIOR NEEDS, HOMELESSNESS, AND POVERTY AMONG OTHERS. OUR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS ARE USING THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA TO HELP TARGET THESE UNMET NEEDS BASED ON THE STRENGTHS, EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES OF INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND WHEN INTERESTS ARE SHARED, NEW COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS CAN BE FORMED. FINDINGS FROM THE FY2019 CHNA MAY BE USED TO SUPPORT GRANT PROCUREMENT, DONATIONS AND GIFTS TO FUND NEW PROGRAM SERVICES.THE LOCAL WASHINGTON COUNTY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION IS USING THE CHNA TO ADDRESS ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE ISSUES AND A LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE BY PROVIDING LOCATIONS FOR THE MD HEALTH EXCHANGE NAVIGATORS TO REACH UNINSURED PERSONS. MMC HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY FOR PERSONS DEEMED UNABLE TO AFFORD THE COST OF CARE. THE COUNTY IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE TWO FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS LOCATED IN HANCOCK AND HAGERSTOWN, MD, BOTH OF WHICH ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES ON A SLIDING-SCALE BASIS. THE COMMUNITY FREE CLINIC LOCATED IN HAGERSTOWN PROVIDES QUALITY, COMPREHENSIVE OUTPATIENT HEALTH CARE SERVICES, FREE OF COST, TO ALL WASHINGTON COUNTY RESIDENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED.
MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER, INC.

MERITUS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO GRANT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITHOUT FORMAL APPLICATION BEING MADE BY PATIENTS. THESE PATIENTS MAY INCLUDE THE HOMELESS OR INDIVIDUALS WITH RETURNED MAIL AND NO FORWARDING ADDRESS. PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED, INELIGIBLE FOR A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM OR OTHERWISE UNABLE TO PAY FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR MERITUS' FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.PART V, QUESTION 16 A, B & CHTTPS://WWW.MERITUSHEALTH.COM/PATIENTS-VISITORS/

PART I, LINE 6A:	MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER (MMC) PREPARES A COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT THROUGH THE MARYLAND HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC), AND IT IS AVAILABLE VIA THEIR WEBSITE. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT PREPARED BY MMC IN ACCORDANCE WITH IRC SECTION 501(R).
PART I, LINE 7:	THE DIRECT COST WAS CALCULATED BY USING THE EXPENSE CATEGORIES FOR SALARIES AND WAGES, BENEFITS, EXPENDABLE SUPPLIES, PURCHASED SERVICES, REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE AND DEPRECIATION. THE INDIRECT COST WAS CALCULATED USING THE APPROVED METHODOLOGY ON THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES FOR MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:(1) HOSPITAL OWNED PRACTICES(2) THE MEDICATION ASSISTANCE CENTER(3) MMG PHYSICIAN PRACTICES(4) LEVEL III TRAUMA PROGRAM(5) ON-CALL FEES FOR EMERGENCY SPECIALISTS(6) VOLUNTARY WRITE-OFFS ON INPATIENT HOSPICE ACCOUNTS (HOSPICE OF WASHINGTON COUNTY)(7) MEDICAL URGENT CARE(8) HOSPITALIST SUBSIDY(9) COMMUNITY HEALTH (COMMUNITY HEALTH, EMPLOYEE WELLNESS, PARISH NURSING)(10) FAMILY PRACTICE RESIDENCY PROGRAM(11) HEALTH @ WORK
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F:	MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER (MMC) IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO MEET THE ASSOCIATED FINANCIAL OBLIGATION AND WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION ON THE GROUNDS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR CREED. IT IS THE POLICY OF MMC TO ENSURE THAT ALL APPROPRIATE AND REASONABLE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE PRIOR TO REFERRING AN ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT, A COLLECTION AGENCY OR OUTSIDE ATTORNEY. IN ADDITION, A SATISFACTORY LEVEL OF CONTROL IS MAINTAINED OVER BAD DEBTS AND LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT ARE INVOLVED IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS PRIOR TO WRITE-OFF AND/OR ASSIGNMENT OF BAD DEBT. THE PERCENTAGES IN COLUMN F ARE BASED ON COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL EXPENSE LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $16,918,801.
PART I, LINES 7A & 7B, COLUMNS (C) THROUGH (F):	MARYLAND'S REGULATORY SYSTEM CREATES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR HOSPITAL PAYMENT THAT DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF THE NATION. THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC) DETERMINES PAYMENT THROUGH A RATE-SETTING PROCESS AND ALL PAYORS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS, PAY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE SAME SERVICES DELIVERED AT THE SAME HOSPITAL. MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL-PAYOR SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR REFERENCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PAYORS' RATES, WHICH DOES NOT ENABLE MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BREAKOUT ANY DIRECT OFFSETTING REVENUE RELATED TO UNCOMPENSATED CARE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO MEDICAID REVENUES IN MARYLAND, AS SUCH, THE NET EFFECT IS ZERO. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE IMPACT ON THE HOSPITAL OF ITS SHARE OF THE MEDICAID ASSESSMENT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS CLOSED FISCAL GAPS IN THE STATE MEDICAID BUDGET BY ASSESSING HOSPITALS THROUGH THE RATE-SETTING SYSTEM. THE LEGAL ENTITIES REFLECTED ON THIS FORM 990 INCLUDE MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES THAT ARE DISREGARDED ENTITIES STRUCTURED IN THE FORM OF LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES. MERITUS ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSIONS TO PROVIDE CARE TO PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS THROUGHOUT ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES.

THESE AMOUNTS ARE IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROVIDED BY THE MERITUS MEDICAL CENTER AS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY, MMC WAS INVOLVED IN MANY COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES. MMC SPENT $15,290 ON LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING BY LEADERSHIP WASHINGTON COUNTY FOR SEVERAL MMC EMPLOYEES. MMC PROVIDED $11,313 TOWARDS PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS AND HOUSING WITH VOLUNTEERED SERVICES DURING THE ANNUAL DAY OF CARING EVENT.

MMC ALSO PROVIDED TEACHING TO UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE NURSING PROGRAMS. LASTLY, MMC GAVE $3,865 TOWARD COMMUNITY SUPPORT.
PART III, LINE 2:	MMC USES HISTORICAL REIMBURSEMENT TRENDS IN DETERMINING BAD DEBT EXPENSE AND ADJUSTS THE ACCOUNTING BASED ON KNOWN VARIANCES OR ADJUSTMENTS. MMC UTILIZES HFMA STATEMENT #15 TO REPORT BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED AT THE UNDISCOUNTED RATE WHICH MATCHES THE REPORTING OF BAD DEBT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 3:	THE COSTS FOR PATIENTS ACCEPTED UNDER MMC'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ARE INCLUDED IN CHARITY CARE AND ARE NOT A PART OF MMC'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE. MMC IS USING AN ESTIMATION PROCESS TO CALCULATE MMC'S BAD DEBT EXPENSES. MMC TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE NUMBER OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE DENIED. MMC HAS DETERMINED THERE IS HISTORICALLY A DENIAL RATE THAT EQUATES TO APPROXIMATELY 15% OF TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THESE DENIED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICANTS NORMALLY PRESENT AS FUTURE BAD DEBT CASES THAT ARE WRITTEN OFF. THERE IS NO BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 4:	SUBSEQUENT CHANGES TO THE ESTIMATE OF THE TRANSACTION PRICE ARE GENERALLY RECORDED AS ADJUSTMENTS TO NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN THE PERIOD OF THE CHANGE. SUBSEQUENT CHANGES THAT ARE DETERMINED TO BE THE RESULT OF AN ADVERSE CHANGE IN THE PAYOR'S OR PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY ARE RECORDED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020 WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8:	MMC USES THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE RELATED TO TOTAL REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE. MMC DID NOT REPORT A SHORTFALL IN MEDICARE REVENUE RECEIVED THAT WOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 9B:	1. MERITUS EXPECTS PATIENT PAYMENT AT THE TIME SERVICE IS PROVIDED OR WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE FIRST BILLING TO PATIENT FOR SERVICES NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.2. MERITUS MUST TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION TO MAINTAIN TIMELY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TURNOVER AND ENSURE THAT THE VALUE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE IS ACCURATELY STATED.
