("KUH") TOOK INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITIES. THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH PARTNERSHIP ("SJHC") - CONSISTING OF HOSPITALS, HEALTH SYSTEMS, AND HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WITHIN BURLINGTON, CAMDEN, AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES - CAME TOGETHER TO UNDERTAKE A COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH PARTNERSHIP INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING PARTNERS: COOPER UNIVERSITY HEALTH CARE, JEFFERSON HEALTH, LOURDES HEALTH SYSTEM, VIRTUA HEALTH, AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS OF BURLINGTON, CAMDEN, AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES. THE CHNA EMPLOYED A MIXED-METHODS ITERATIVE STRATEGY OF DATA COLLECTION THAT COMBINED QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY DATA COLLECTED FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS, WITH QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY DATA. THE TWO FUNDAMENTALS TO THE APPROACH ARE RIGOROUS DATA ANALYSIS AND COMMUNITY VOICE. TO THAT END, A VARIETY OF METHODS AND TOOLS WERE USED TO ANALYZE THE DATA COLLECTED BOTH FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OTHER SOURCES IDENTIFIED THROUGH CONSULTATION WITH TRUSTED COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN EACH COUNTY. STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS ---------------------- INTERVIEWS WITH FIVE KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COUNTIES WHO WERE IDENTIFIED BY SJHC WERE HELD. THE INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED USING A SEMI-STRUCTURED RESEARCH INSTRUMENT, AND THE GOALS OF THE INTERVIEW WERE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE FOCUS GROUPS. THE PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT WAS EXPLAINED TO POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS AND INFORMED CONSENT WAS OBTAINED PRIOR TO THE DATA COLLECTION PROCESS, FOLLOWING THE APPROVED IRB PROTOCOL. INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED IN A PRIVATE SETTING. RESEARCH TEAM MEMBERS TOOK NOTES, AND SOME INTERVIEWS WERE ALSO AUDIO-RECORDED. INTERVIEW PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO THINK ABOUT AND SHARE THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON ACCESS TO CARE, HEALTH EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION, AS WELL AS THE BARRIERS RESIDENTS FACE IN OBTAINING CARE. OTHER AREAS OF INQUIRY INCLUDED THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, AS WELL POTENTIAL AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT. BOTH THE RESEARCH INSTRUMENT AND THE PROTOCOL FOR THE INTERVIEW WERE DEVELOPED BASED ON THE GROUNDED THEORY APPROACH WITHIN THE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH FRAMEWORK. COMMUNITY MEMBER FOCUS GROUPS AND STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS -------------------------------------------------------- A TOTAL OF 23 FOCUS GROUPS ACROSS BURLINGTON, CAMDEN, AND GLOUCESTER COUNTIES WERE HELD. OF THESE, 11 WERE WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND 12 WERE WITH STAKEHOLDERS (LEADERS AND STAFF OF RELEVANT ORGANIZATIONS). OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE WAS TO GATHER THE THOUGHTS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS ON HEALTH ISSUES (SUCH AS ACCESS TO CARE, HEALTH EDUCATION, AND COMMUNICATION), AND ANY BARRIERS RESIDENTS MAY CONFRONT IN OBTAINING CARE. ADDITIONAL AREAS OF INQUIRY INCLUDED THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, AS WELL POTENTIAL AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT. THE FOCUS GROUP FORMAT ALLOWED PARTICIPANTS TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN A CONFIDENTIAL FORMAT. BECAUSE THEY LIVE AND WORK WITHIN THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH COLLABORATIVE (SJHC) SERVICE AREA, COMMUNITY MEMBER AND STAKEHOLDER INPUT WAS CRUCIAL TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS. SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 6A & 6B THE 2019 CHNA WAS CONDUCTED BY THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH PARTNERSHIP ("SJHP"), WITHIN THREE SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY COUNTIES: BURLINGTON, CAMDEN, AND GLOUCESTER.

THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ("FAP") EXISTS TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO BOTH UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS BASED UPON THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE GRANTING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AGE, GENDER, RACE, SOCIAL STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. PATIENTS SEEKING EMERGENCY CARE SHALL BE TREATED WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY FOR SUCH CARE. AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 13, IN ADDITION TO FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ("FPG") KUH USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WHEN DETERMINING A PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: - ASSET LEVEL; - MEDICAL INDIGENCY; - INSURANCE STATUS; - UNDERINSURANCE STATUS; AND - RESIDENCY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FAP, A PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR DISCOUNTS ON MEDICAL CARE IF THERE IS NO HEALTH INSURANCE AVAILABLE, OR HAS HEALTH INSURANCE, BUT THAT INSURANCE DOES NOT FULLY COVER THE MEDICAL CARE NEEDED, SUCH AS EXHAUSTED BENEFITS, AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY: - THE PATIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS; - THE PATIENT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY; AND - THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND COMPLETES NECESSARY PAPERWORK.

PATIENTS WITH FAMILY GROSS INCOME GREATER THAN 200% BUT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL ("FPL") ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PARTIAL COMPASSIONATE CARE (DISCOUNTED CARE). ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ALSO DETERMINED BY THE PATIENT'S OR GUARANTOR'S ABILITY TO PAY AFTER ALL INSURANCE HAS BEEN UTILIZED OR LIQUID RESOURCES EXHAUSTED (EXCLUDING RETIREMENT FUNDS). KUH WILL NOT CONSIDER THE PATIENT'S HOUSE, CAR, RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, AND OTHER "NON-LIQUID" ASSETS. HOWEVER, IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS A SMALL PERCENT OF THE UNINSURED PATIENT POPULATION THAT HAS SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS AND COULD EASILY AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, BUT WHOM, BECAUSE OF HAVING TAX-EXEMPT INCOME, WILL NOT HAVE INCOME REFLECTED ON A TAX RETURN. SUCH INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC INITIAL DISCOUNT WHICH SHALL EQUATE TO AN AMOUNT NO GREATER THAN 115% OF THE MEDICARE FEE SCHEDULE. A PATIENT UNABLE TO PAY THE UNINSURED RATE IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A NOT APPLICABLE. SCHEDULE H, PART II NOT APPLICABLE. SCHEDULE H, PART III, QUESTION 2, 3 & 4 BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS INTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. PLEASE REFER TO THE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE SECTION WITHIN FOOTNOTE 1 (PAGES 9 & 10) OF THE SYSTEM'S CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC AND THE REPORTING OF THE NETWORK'S REVENUE RECOGNITION. SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8 MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE CONSIDERED TO BE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL), BAD DEBT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL MUST PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS WHO CANNOT PAY FOR SUCH SERVICES. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA'S POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA'S LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. FROM THE LATEST DATA PROVIDED BY THE AHA, AS OF 2012, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 86 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC"), IN ITS MARCH 2013 REPORT TO CONGRESS, STATES THAT BENEFICIARIES WILL GROW NOTABLY FASTER IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS THAN IN THE PAST DECADE AS THE BABY-BOOM GENERATION AGES INTO THE PROGRAM. IN ADDITION, THE POPULATION AGING INTO THE MEDICARE PROGRAM WILL PRESENT A NEW SET OF CHALLENGES SINCE RISING OBESITY LEVELS PUT THIS POPULATION AT A GREATER RISK THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS FOR CHRONIC DISEASE. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 42 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLE." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. THE SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B KUH PROVIDES INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES WITHOUT REGARD TO A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY CARE TO ALL PATIENTS IT SERVES, KUH MUST ALSO ENSURE ITS OWN FINANCIAL VIABILITY. IN ORDER TO SECURE REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (MA), CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) OR OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, OR CITY CARE COVERAGE SOURCES. KUH PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY BASED UPON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA INCLUDED IN THEIR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. BILLING & COLLECTION EFFORTS ---------------------------- WHILE QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS IDEALLY DETERMINED PRIOR TO, OR AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, KUH CONTINUES TO REVIEW SUCH DETERMINATIONS AS OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE DISCOVERED DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. AFTER AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS REDUCED TO THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT OR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT RATE, WHICHEVER IS APPLICABLE, THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF ANY OUTSTANDING PATIENT BALANCES. PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE AN INITIAL STATEMENT INDICATING THEIR BALANCE DUE ALONG WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WHO TO CONTACT. SELF-PAY BALANCES GO THROUGH A PRE-COLLECTION AGENCY PLACEMENT PROCESS THAT MAY ENTAIL THE MAILING OF STATEMENTS OR LETTERS AND/OR PHONE CALLS IN ORDER TO COLLECT PAYMENT ON OPEN BALANCES. ONCE OPEN BALANCE ACCOUNTS COMPLETE THE PRE-COLLECTION DUNNING CYCLE, (120 DAYS OR MORE) WITH NO PAYMENT OR PROOF OF ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER PROGRAMS, THE ACCOUNTS WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO A PROFESSIONAL COLLECTION AGENCY. IF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND APPROPRIATE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND A DECISION IS PENDING, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE HELD FROM AGENCY PLACEMENT. IN SOME CASES, A PATIENT ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED PRIOR TO SENDING THE ACCOUNT TO AN EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY. EACH AGENCY WILL BE MADE AWARE OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND WILL WORK WITH THE PROVIDER TO ASCERTAIN PATIENT ELIGIBILITY. EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ("ECAS") WILL NOT BE UNDERTAKEN DURING THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION PERIOD OF THE 120 DAYS FROM THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT AND UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A 30 DAY INITIATION OF ECA NOTICE HAS BEEN SENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL. THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE WILL CONTAIN THE ECA ACTION THAT THE PROVIDER INTENDS TO UNDERTAKE AND THE DATE AT WHICH TIME THIS WOULD OCCUR. A COPY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY WILL ACCOMPANY THE 30 DAY ECA INITIATION NOTICE. IF THE PATIENT SUBMITS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, KUH WILL SUSPEND ANY ECAS UNTIL THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED AND THE PATIENT IS INFORMED OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY. IF A PATIENT ACCOUNT IS REFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE AGENCY, THAT AGENCY MUST FIRST AGREE TO ABIDE BY KUH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN RELATION TO ITS COLLECTION EFFORTS. NO EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY ARE PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN ECAS UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY KUH. AFTER THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN, KUH MAY USE ECAS WITH THE RESPECT TO THE PATIENT ACCOUNT OF AN UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED AND MAY FURTHER CONSIDER CREDIT BUREAU REPORTING AND/OR LEGAL ACTION AS APPROPRIATE. THE SYSTEM'S GENERAL COUNSEL IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE ALL LAWSUITS PRIOR TO THE ECA COMMENCING. FINAL AUTHORITY FOR DETERMINING THAT KUH HAS MADE ADEQUATE ATTEMPTS TO INFORM A PATIENT OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND THUS MAY INITIATE THE USE ECAS, RESTS WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S VICE PRESIDENT DIRECTOR OF REVENUE CYCLE OPERATIONS. SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2 IN ADDITION TO THE CHNA PROCESS OUTLINED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 1-12 AND THE NARRATIVE RESPONSE TO SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5 INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION C, THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA ASSESSED THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES BY INCORPORATING DATA FROM SECONDARY SOURCES (VITAL STATISTICS AND OTHER EXISTING HEALTH-RELATED DATA).

DURING FY20, MANY STRATEGIC ADMINISTRATIVE, MERGER/ACQUISITIONS AND CHANGES WERE GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF A NOVEL CORONAVIRUS WAS A CALL TO ACTION, A SUMMONS TO DO WHAT WE WERE BORN FOR: TO HELP, TO HEAL, TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. DURING THE PEAK OF THE SURGE, JEFFERSON HEALTH HAD 7,000 DISCHARGES OF NON-COVID PATIENTS WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF VIRUS TRANSMISSION. THAT'S HOW SAFE WE WERE. AMONG OUR 15,000 CLINICAL EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS, WE HAD LESS THAN 1 PERCENT CONTRACT THE VIRUS. THAT'S SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN ANY OTHER FRONTLINE SYSTEM. OUR HOSPITALS WERE AMONG THE FEW TO LET LOVED ONES BE PRESENT FOR BIRTHS, AND FOR DEATHS, ALLOWING FAMILIES TO BE AT THE BEDSIDE OF EVEN COVID-POSITIVE PATIENTS. THE PARTNERSHIP STRENGTHENS THE ENTERPRISE'S ABILITY TO CARE FOR THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. IN ADDITION, JEFFERSON'S UNIQUE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE CONTINUES AS A COMBINED BOARD WITH EQUAL REPRESENTATION FROM JEFFERSON, ABINGTON, JEFFERSON HEALTH - NORTHEAST AND KENNEDY. ADDITIONALLY, IN FY20, JEFFERSON HEALTH CONTINUED IN ITS COMMITMENT TO PURSUE ITS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT WITH EINSTEIN HEALTHCARE NETWORK ("EHN") OF PHILADELPHIA AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. THE PROPOSED MERGER TO CREATE AN 18 HOSPITAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS AWAITING STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVALS. WHILE, THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY, JEFFERSON HEALTH, TEMPLE UNIVERSITY AND TEMPLE HEALTH ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO CONDUCT DUE DILIGENCE AND NEGOTIATE THE SALE OF FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER TO JEFFERSON AND TEMPLE'S INTEREST IN HEALTH PARTNERS PLAN (HPP) THE ACQUISITION DID NOT MOVE FORWARD AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC. A DIFFERENT YEAR ---------------- COMING TOGETHER: OUR COVID RESPONSE INCLUDED PLANNING AND PREPARATION - EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST POSITIVE CASES OF COVID-19 SURFACED IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, ABINGTON HOSPITAL WAS ALREADY EXECUTING A DETAILED PLAN FOR COVID TESTING, PATIENT SERVICES, AND EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT. THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED BY JEFFERSON, WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. AS OUR NUMBER OF CASES GREW, A STRATEGIC ADVISORY TEAM OF TOP LEADERS AT THE HOSPITAL LAUNCHED NUMEROUS STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, INCLUDING: ESTABLISHING THE FIRST COVID TESTING SITE IN THE DELAWARE VALLEY; POSTPONING ALL ELECTIVE PROCEDURES, REPURPOSING BEDS FOR ADDITIONAL ICU CAPACITY, SETTING PROTOCOLS FOR ISOLATING DIFFERENT PATIENT POPULATIONS, CREATING TRANSITION PLANS FOR NON-COVID PATIENTS AND SHIFTING NON-COVID APPOINTMENTS TO TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY WHEN POSSIBLE; SETTING UP A TRIAGE PHONE LINE FOR PATIENTS AND STAFF, AND CREATING STANDARD GUIDELINES FOR STAFF WHO ARE TRIAGING PATIENTS; SOURCING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) DONATIONS, SUPPLIES AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING VENTILATORS AND ALTERNATIVES; PROVIDING REAL-TIME EDUCATION ABOUT CHANGING CDC GUIDELINES; REDEPLOYING STAFF TO THE MOST CRITICAL UNITS; PROVIDING TRAINING TO UPSKILL REGISTERED NURSES (RNS) TO WORK IN THE ICU; ORGANIZING CHILDCARE FOR STAFF AND DEVELOPING PLANS TO FEED AND HOUSE STAFF AS NEEDED. IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN FY20 THAT JEFFERSON HEALTH HAD CARED FOR MORE COVID-19 PATIENTS THAN ANY OTHER SYSTEM IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA. DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED TIMES, OUR COMMUNITY DONATED GENEROUS FUNDS AND MATERIALS: OUR COMMUNITY STEPPED UP WITH CHARITABLE SUPPORT, AND SHOWED GREAT GENEROSITY IN DONATING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND PPE. THESE INCLUDED MASKS, GOGGLES, HAND SANITIZER, AND OTHER MEDICAL SUPPLIES. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF THESE MATERIALS, OUR SUPPLY-CHAIN MANAGEMENT TEAM SET UP A DONATION DROP-OFF SITE TO COORDINATE THE RECEIPT AND EVALUATION OF THESE GENEROUS DONATIONS.

CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12 THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WITH WHICH ALL AFFILIATES REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY GOVERNS CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE AND MONITORING OF ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN EVALUATING ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTS OR TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BENEFIT THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF A TRUSTEE, THEIR FAMILY MEMBER(S), A MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE THAT EXERCISES BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS OF THE UNIVERSITY, OR SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE POLICY IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT BUT NOT REPLACE APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS GOVERNING NONPROFIT CHARITABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST COMPLETE, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCESS INCLUDES DISTRIBUTION OF AN ELECTRONIC DISCLOSURE TO ALL PERSONS WHO SERVED AS VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE DISCLOSURE FORM ELICITS INFORMATION RELATED TO THE RESPONDENT'S ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY ENGAGED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE PROCESS ALSO REQUIRES COVERED PERSONS TO DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION TO ATTESTING TO THE VERACITY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE DISCLOSURE, THE VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST CERTIFY THAT THEY WILL ABIDE BY THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES AND WILL DISCLOSE ALL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEIR ONGOING SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED AS KEY EMPLOYEES RECEIVE DISCLOSURE QUESTIONS REQUIRED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL PERSONS COVERED UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND EMPLOYEE-RELATED CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES MAINTAIN A CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE ALL CHANGES IN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS ALL ORIGINAL DISCLOSURE FORMS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RECORD RETENTION POLICY. THE SYSTEM ALSO COMPILES AND ISSUES A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT OF ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES REPORTED DURING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THEREAFTER, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ITSELF OR THROUGH DELEGATION TO THE AUDIT, RISK AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE, EVALUATES ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO DETERMINE WHETHER ACTIVITIES OR ARRANGEMENTS REQUIRE MANAGEMENT, REDUCTION, OR ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES OR RELATIONSHIPS. WHEN MANAGEMENT OF THE IDENTIFIED CONFLICT IS REQUIRED, THE AFFECTED PERSON(S), MEMBERS OF THE BOARD'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN. AFFECTED PERSONS ARE EXPECTED TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO, RECUSAL FROM DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING WHEN APPROPRIATE. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE-OUTLINED INTERNAL REPORTING AND EVALUATION OF ACTIVITIES, TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS, ALL REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE'S REGULATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE REPORTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990. CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM IS COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT ITS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM ADHERES TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND BEST PRACTICES IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS A COMPENSATION AND HUMAN CAPITAL COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE SYSTEM'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, INCLUDING ARRANGEMENTS COVERING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES (INCLUDING CLINICAL DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND SELECT FACULTY). THE COMMITTEE MEETS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE YEAR AND IS COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND DO NOT HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH REGARD TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS THAT FALL WITHIN ITS PURVIEW. THE COMMITTEE'S PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO SATISFY THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS THAT IS AVAILABLE UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS LAW, AND INCLUDES THE REVIEW OF COMPARABILITY DATA AND THE CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION OF ITS DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS. THE COMMITTEE'S DECISIONS ARE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SYSTEM'S COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY, WHICH SUPPORTS THE OBJECTIVE OF ATTRACTING, RETAINING AND MOTIVATING TALENTED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS TO ACHIEVE THE INSTITUTION'S OBJECTIVES. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS APPROPRIATE COMPARABILITY DATA FOR SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS THAT REFLECT THE MISSION, SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS CONSTITUENT ENTITIES. THE COMMITTEE ENGAGES QUALIFIED, INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS AS NEEDED TO PROVIDE ADVICE ON COMPENSATION MATTERS AND TO PREPARE THE COMPARABILITY DATA, WHICH ARE REVIEWED BY THE COMMITTEE IN ADVANCE OF MAKING ITS DECISIONS. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS AND APPROVES COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND OTHER SENIOR EXECUTIVES BASED ON MARKET PRACTICES, AN ASSESSMENT OF PERFORMANCE AND OTHER BUSINESS JUDGMENT FACTORS. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION INCLUDES INCENTIVE PAY, PURSUANT TO WHICH EXECUTIVES ARE REWARDED BASED ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM, ENTITY AND INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE GOALS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED IN ADVANCE OF THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD. THESE GOALS ARE LINKED TO SYSTEM'S MISSION, STRATEGIC AND OPERATING OBJECTIVES, AND HAVE PREDETERMINED WEIGHTS. AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THE COMMITTEE APPROVES THE RESULTING AWARDS BASED ON A REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENTS RELATIVE TO THE GOALS; IN APPROPRIATE CIRCUMSTANCES, OTHER DISCRETIONARY FACTORS MAY BE CONSIDERED WHEN INCENTIVES ARE DETERMINED. THE COMMITTEE MAKES A DETERMINATION OF THE REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION AND MAINTAINS MINUTES THAT DOCUMENT ITS DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS.
