Explanation	ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TO BE USED CONSISTENT WITH INTENT AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/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'S PARENT ENTITY IS THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY. AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND JUNE 30, 2018; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE SYSTEMS AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT ADDRESSES THE SYSTEM'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S ("TJU'S") ENDOWMENTS CONSIST OF 1,006 INDIVIDUAL FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF THESE GROUPS OF FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED UPON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. FROM TIME TO TIME, THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH INDIVIDUAL DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS MAY FALL BELOW THE LEVEL THAT THE DONOR REQUIRES TJU TO RETAIN AS A FUND OF PERPETUAL DURATION. SHORTFALLS OF THIS NATURE, WHICH ARE REPORTED IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS, WERE $1.3 MILLION AND $1.4 MILLION AS OF JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2018, RESPECTIVELY. THESE SHORTFALLS RESULTED FROM UNFAVORABLE MARKET FLUCTUATIONS THAT OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE INVESTMENT OF NEW PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED CONTRIBUTIONS AND CONTINUED APPROPRIATION FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS THAT WAS DEEMED PRUDENT BY TJU. THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA HAS NOT ADOPTED THE UNIFORM MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UMIFA) OR THE UNIFORM PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UPMIFA). RATHER, THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT GOVERNS THE INVESTMENT, USE AND MANAGEMENT OF TJUS ENDOWMENT FUNDS. THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT ALLOWS A NONPROFIT TO ELECT TO APPROPRIATE FOR EXPENDITURE AN INVESTMENT POLICY THAT SEEKS THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF THE REAL VALUE OF THE INVESTMENTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT, THE OBJECTIVES OF TJUS INVESTMENT POLICY IS TO PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SPENDABLE INCOME WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS OF TJU AND WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOAL OF PROTECTING THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE INVESTMENTS. THE CALCULATION OF THE SPENDABLE INCOME FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS OF TJU IS BASED ON 75% OF THE PRIOR YEAR SPENDABLE INCOME AND 25% OF THE CALCULATED TWO YEAR AVERAGE OF THE ENDOWMENT MARKET VALUE MULTIPLIED BY 4.75%; THE SUM OF WHICH IS ADJUSTED BY AN INFLATION FACTOR. THE CALCULATION OF THE SPENDABLE INCOME FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS OF ABINGTON IS BASED ON 5% OF THE CALCULATED THREE YEAR AVERAGE OF THE ENDOWMENT MARKET VALUE.	ExplanationTxt

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	AMH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE IN A CARING AND COMPASSIONATE MANNER REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENTS FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE SECTION 501(R). THE ORGANIZATIONS 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") AMH USES THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WHEN DETERMINING A PATIENTS ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: - ASSET LEVEL; - MEDICAL INDIGENCY; - INSURANCE STATUS; - UNDERINSURANCE STATUS; AND - RESIDENCY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS 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. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED UPON FINANCIAL NEED. PATIENTS THAT FALL BELOW 299% OF THE FPL, BASED ON TOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME, WITH SUFFICIENT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED, WILL RECEIVE A 100% DISCOUNT. PATIENTS AT 300% OR ABOVE, UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 600% OF THE FPL, ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED UPON A SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT. THESE DISCOUNTS ARE APPLIED AGAINST THE MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE RATES IN PLACE AT TIME OF DETERMINATION. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS ALSO DETERMINED BY THE PATIENTS OR GUARANTORS ABILITY TO PAY AFTER ALL INSURANCE HAS BEEN UTILIZED OR LIQUID RESOURCES EXHAUSTED (EXCLUDING RETIREMENT FUNDS). AMH WILL NOT CONSIDER THE PATIENTS 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 50% OFF TOTAL CHARGES FOR SERVICES RENDERED. IN ADDITION, FOR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND OBSERVATION SERVICES FOR THOSE TREATED AND RELEASED (NOT ADMITTED AS INPATIENT) THERE WILL BE A MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF $1,600. FOR LABORATORY SERVICES, THERE IS A FURTHER DISCOUNT THAT IS GENERALLY GREATER THAN 50% OFF CHARGES. A PATIENT UNABLE TO PAY THE UNINSURED RATE IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A	THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS IN A REPORT PREPARED BY ABINGTON HEALTH (EIN: 27-1243803), A RELATED TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	Worksheet 2 was used to calculate the cost to charge ratio for financial assistance and unreimbursed medicaid. All other costs were either obtained from the hospital's cost accounting, cost reporting or general ledger systems.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	Community building activities undertaken by this organization improve the medical and socioeconomic well-being of the communities in our care. This is accomplished through service on state and regional advocacy committees and boards, volunteerism with local community-based non-profit advocacy groups, and participation in conferences and other educational activities to promote understanding of the root causes of health concerns. This organization provides educational materials, conducts community health fairs and holds health education seminars and outreach sessions for its patients and for community providers. Presentations are provided by physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; LINES 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 JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2018, THE SYSTEM ADOPTED ASU 2014-09 USING A FULL RETROSPECTIVE METHOD OF APPLICATION. THE ADOPTION OF ASU 2014-09 RESULTED IN CHANGES TO THE PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF REVENUE PRIMARILY RELATED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. UNDER ASU 2014- 09, THE ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS DUE FROM THESE PATIENTS ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS THAT ARE A DIRECT REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES. FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2018, THE SYSTEM RECORDED $142.9 MILLION AND $132.8 MILLION, RESPECTIVELY OF IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AS A DIRECT REDUCTION OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF ASU 2014-09. 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; LINE 8	FINANCIAL INFORMATION LISTED ON SCHEDULE H PART III LINES 5, 6 & 7 WERE DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND NOT THE 2017 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. USING THE COST REPORT WOULD RESULT IN A DECREASE TO THE AMOUNT ON LINE 5 OF $14,571,751 AND A DECREASE TO LINE 6 OF $21,127,010. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS 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, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AGE, STATUS AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A HANDICAP/DISABILITY 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 HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. 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 "REMOVE(D)" 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 TREAS. 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") BELIEVES 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 POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA 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. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 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 ELIGIBLES." 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 CBO CO
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B	AMH 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, AMH 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. AMH 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, AMH 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 organizations plain language summary will accompany the 30 day eca initiation notice. If the patient submits a financial assistance application, AMH will suspend any ecas until the patients 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 AMHs financial assistance policy in relation to its collection efforts. No external collection agency are permitted to engage in ecas unless authorized by AMH. After the above-described steps have been taken, AMH 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. AMHs general counsel is required to approve all lawsuits prior to the eca commencing. Final authority for determining that AMH has made adequate attempts to inform a patient of the financial assistance policy, and thus may initiate the use ecas, rests with the organizations vice president director of revenue cycle operations.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	AS A NON-PROFIT INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH") HAS A STRONG MISSION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND OUTREACH. THE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS FOR AH INCLUDING ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND LANSDALE HOSPITAL CORPORATION BEGAN IN THE FALL 2018. RECOGNIZING THAT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS OFTEN MUTUALLY SERVE THE SAME COMMUNITIES, A GROUP OF LOCAL HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS CONVENED TO DEVELOP THIS FIRST-EVER SOUTHEASTERN PA (SEPA) REGIONAL CHNA, WITH SPECIFIC FOCUS ON BUCKS, CHESTER, MONTGOMERY AND PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES. THIS COLLABORATIVE CHNA OFFERED: INCREASED COLLABORATION AMONG LOCAL HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS SERVING THIS REGION; REDUCED DUPLICATION OF ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY BURDEN FROM PARTICIPATION IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITY MEETINGS; REDUCED HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEM COSTS IN CHNA REPORT DEVELOPMENT; OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED LEARNING; ESTABLISHMENT OF A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR COORDINATED EFFORTS TO ADDRESS HIGHEST PRIORITY COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH: HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS AND SUPPORTING PARTNERS COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOPED THE CHNA THAT OUTLINES HEALTH PRIORITIES FOR THE REGION. THE HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS WILL PRODUCE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS THAT MAY INVOLVE FURTHER COLLABORATION TO ADDRESS SHARED PRIORITIES. FROM OCTOBER 2018 TO JUNE 2019, THE PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (PDPH) LED COLLECTION OF A VARIETY OF QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES AND FACTORS INFLUENCING HEALTH FROM A VARIETY OF DATA SOURCES. DATA COLLECTION INCLUDED PDPH SYNTHESIZED FINDINGS OF HIGH PRIORITY AREAS; PRIORITIES WERE RANKED USING A MODIFIED HANLON METHOD. AT THE SAME TIME, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER INPUT PROCESS EVOLVED: COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE COORDINATED BY HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT FOUNDATION (HCIF) AND PHILADELPHIA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS (PACDC) AND FACILITATED BY QUALITATIVE EXPERTS FROM PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS. STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED BY HCIF. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS FROM ALH, CONDUCTED INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INTERVIEWS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM PARTNERING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, THE PDPH AND HCIF DEVELOPED A COLLABORATIVE, COMMUNITY-ENGAGED APPROACH THAT INVOLVED COLLECTING AND ANALYZING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA AND AGGREGATING DATA FROM A VARIETY OF SECONDARY SOURCES TO COMPREHENSIVELY ASSESS THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE REGION. THE ASSESSMENT RESULTED IN A LIST OF PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT WILL BE USED BY THE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OUTLINING HOW THEY WILL ADDRESS THESE NEEDS INDIVIDUALLY AND IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER PARTNERS. SEPA REGIONAL CHNA STEERING COMMITTEE: CONSENSUS-DRIVEN GOVERNANCE TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND DIRECTION; MET ONCE OR TWICE MONTHLY TO REVIEW FINDINGS AND SET PRIORITIES. PDPH LED THE COLLECTION OF QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS OF HEALTH FOR THE REGION WITH THE SUPPORT FROM CHESTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND MONTOGMERY COUNTY OFFICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH. DATA WERE ACQRUIRED FROM LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL SOURCES AND FOCUSED ON INDICATORS THAT WERE UNIFORMLY AVAILABLE AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL ACROSS THE REGION. PDPH PARTNERED WITH HEALTHSHARE EXCHANGE, THE LOCAL HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE, TO ANALYZE KEY HOSPITAL-BASED INDICATORS OF HEALTH. HCIF COORDINATED THE QUALITATIVE COMPONENTS OF THE ASSESSMENT WHICH INCLUDED: 19 COMMUNITY MEETINGS, 9 KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, 12 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS AND ADDITIONAL KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. ALL DATA WERE SYNTHESIZED BY PDPH STAFF AND A LIST OF 16 COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WAS PRESENTED TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE. USING A MODIFIED HANLON RANKING METHOD, EACH PARTICIPATING HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM RATED THE PRIORITIES. AN AVERAGE RATING WAS CALCULATED AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES WERE ORGANIZED IN PRIORITY ORDER BASED ON: SIZE OF HEALTH PROBLEM, IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY, CAPACITY OF HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS, ALIGNMENT WITH MISSION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND AVAILABILITY OF EXISTING COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR EACH OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, BASED ON FINDINGS FROM THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, WERE ALSO INCLUDED. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WORKING UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE ABINGTON HEALTH FOUNDATION COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE [NOW KNOWN AS THE REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND DIVERSITY COMMITTEE] IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOCUSING ON PRIORITY ISSUES AND MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH NEEDS. IN ADDITION, THIS ORGANIZATION WORKS WITH LOCAL PROVIDERS TO PLAN AND DISCUSS HEALTH NEEDS OF THE POPULATION. AMH CONTINUES TO ATTEND LOCAL AND REGIONAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION MEETINGS AND COUNTY COLLABORATIVES FOR THE GREATER ABINGTON AREA. REGIONAL COUNTY COLLABORATIVES INCLUDE THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WITH REPRESENTATION FROM LOCAL POLITICIANS, LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, EMERGENCY HEALTH PROVIDERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS. AMH WORKED WITH AREA HOSPITALS AND NON-PROFITS TO FORM THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH ALLIANCE WHICH RECEIVED PA STATE DESIGNATION OF SHIP STATUS (STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN). IN ADDITION, DURING THE CHNA PROCESS, ABINGTON HEALTH CONTINUED TO PARTICIPATE IN COACH AND THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HOSPITAL PARTNERSHIP WHICH FOCUSED ON FOOD INSECURITY, FUTURE CHNA AND MENTAL HEALTH.

CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/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 RESPONDENTS 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 BOARDS 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 JEFFERSON/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 ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT ITS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM ADHERES TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND BEST PRACTICES IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.

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 INSTITUTIONS 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.

CORE FORM, PART X; LINES 27-29	In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities: Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for Profit Entities, which eliminates the requirement for not-for-profits (NFPs) to classify net assets as unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted. Instead, NFPs are required to classify net assets as net assets with donor restrictions or without donor restrictions. Among other things, the guidance also modifies required disclosures and reporting related to net assets, investment expenses and qualitative information regarding liquidity. NFPs are also required to report all expenses by both functional and natural classification in one location. The provisions of ASU 2016-14 are effective for the Institution for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods thereafter. As such, the Institution adopted ASU 2016-14 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The effects of the adoption of ASU 2016-14 were applied retrospectively. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-14, the net asset categories have been updated as described above. Additionally, the addition of quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to the analysis of expenses by both natural and functional classifications and liquidity and availability of resources can be found in Notes 4 and 14. The adoption of ASU 2016-14 had no impact on the total net assets previously reported by the Institution as of December 31, 2017.
CORE FORM, PART XI; QUESTION 9	OTHER CHANGES IN NET ASSETS OR FUND BALANCE INCLUDE: - CHANGE IN PENSION LIABILITY; ($65,108,000); - NET ASSETS RELEASED FROM RESTRICTIONS USED FOR CAPITAL; $26,430,336; - INCREASE IN VALUE OF SPLIT INTEREST AGREEMENTS AND PERPETUAL TRUSTS; $500,974; AND - DONOR RESTRICTED NET ASSETS RELEASED FROM RESTRICTION; ($2,450,538).
