Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount For audited financial statement purposes, in 2024, the organization assessed the population of patients unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are responsible in conjunction with statistics of the local population falling below federal poverty limits. The organization believes a significant portion of the unpaid patient services would qualify for charity care if the patient were to apply in accordance with the current policy. As a result, charity care, at charges reclassified from bad debt totaled $12,000,000. The impact of this reclassification has been removed for Schedule H presentation purposes. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A FOOTNOTE ON BAD DEBT EXPENSE. WORKSHEET 2 OF THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WAS USED TO COMPUTE A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO USED TO CALCULATE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST FOR PURPOSES OF PART III, LINES 2 AND 3. THE PERCENTAGE OF FAMILIES BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL IN THE AREA SERVED IS USED TO ESTIMATE THE PERCENTAGE OF NET REVENUE EXPECTED TO BE AWARDED CHARITY CARE. THE VARIANCE WITH ACTUAL CHARITY CARE ADJUSTMENTS IS THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTED TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs THE MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE OVERALL SHORTFALL. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THE ENTIRE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT. APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PAYER MIX IS DEVOTED TO MEDICARE. Current year Medicare reimbursement includes $22.7M settlement received from Medicare for previously withheld reimbursement amounts related to drugs purchased with 340B discounts. Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance GEORGETOWN HOSPITAL SYSTEM HAS A PROCESS IN PLACE TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN UNDERSTANDING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, BEGINNING WITH SCHEDULING AND REGISTRATION. SIGNAGE AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BROCHURES ARE CLEARLY DISPLAYED THROUGHOUT THE REGISTRATION AREAS OF THE SYSTEM.

DESMOND YOUNG 270875 CONTRACTED PHYSICIAN SERVICES false Schedule L, Part II The Core Form, Part X, Line 5 and Schedule L, Part II indicates a beginning balance of loans and other receivables of $3,363,912 and an ending balance of $0. This is because the receivable will now be reported on the 990 of Georgetown Hospital System going forward. THE EO PROVIDES SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS THROUGH AN ARRANGEMENT THE IRS REFERS TO AS "COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT SPLIT DOLLAR" (CASD). ALTHOUGH THE IRS REQUIRES REPORTING IN PART II, ABOVE, FOR LOANS TO INTERESTED PERSONS, CASD IS NOT AN ACTUAL LOAN. THERE IS NEITHER A TRANSFER OF FUNDS TO THE PARTICIPANT NOR AN OBLIGATION FOR THE PARTICIPANT TO PAY THOSE FUNDS BACK. INSTEAD, THE EO RECOVERS ITS OUTLAYS PLUS INTEREST FROM THE UNDERLYING POLICY. THE RECOVERY RIGHT IS A KEY ADVANTAGE OF CASD. WITH TRADITIONAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION, THE EO PAYS THE BENEFIT FROM CORPORATE ASSETS, NEVER TO RECOVER THOSE DOLLARS. WITH CASD, THE EO RECOVERS NOT ONLY ITS OUTLAYS, BUT ALSO INTEREST THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY. IN CASD, THE EO DEPOSITS DOLLARS DIRECTLY INTO A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, WITH THE EO HOLDING A LIEN ON THE POLICY TO ENSURE REPAYMENT. AT SPECIFIED TIMES AND SUBJECT TO VESTING REQUIREMENTS, THE PARTICIPANT MAY BORROW FROM THE CASH VALUE OF THE POLICY TO SUPPLEMENT RETIREMENT INCOME (PROVIDED THERE ARE SUFFICIENT POLICY VALUES). BORROWING IS CAREFULLY MONITORED AND LIMITED TO ASSURE THAT THE POLICY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL THE PARTICIPANT'S DEATH AND WILL PAY A DEATH BENEFIT AT LEAST SUFFICIENT TO REPAY THE EO'S OUTLAYS PLUS INTEREST. ANY REMAINING DEATH PROCEEDS ARE DIVIDED BETWEEN THE EO AND THE EXECUTIVE'S BENEFICIARY AS AGREED UPON BY THE PARTIES. LOAN BALANCE THE CORE FORM, PART X, LINE 5 AND SCHEDULE L, PART II INDICATES LOANS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES OF $3,479,388. THE CUMULATIVE BALANCE DUE FROM EXECUTIVES IS $4,166,980. PLEASE NOTE THE VARIANCE BETWEEN THE TWO FIELDS IS A RESULT OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CASH VALUE OF THE LIFE INSURANCE AND THE PRINCIPAL PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST.
