SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 3I	IN RESPONSE TO SHORE MEDICAL CENTERS 2019 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA"), THE ORGANIZATION DEVELOPED AND ADOPTED AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN IN DECEMBER 2019, WHICH INCLUDES 2019, TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING HEALTH RISK FACTORS AND DISEASES IDENTIFIED AS HAVING THE GREATEST LEVEL OF PRIORITIZATION FOR THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE. THOSE AREAS ARE: - OBESITY; - HEART DISEASE; - CANCER; - DIABETES; AND - OPIOIDS. BELOW PLEASE FIND A DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNA. ADDITIONALLY, DESCRIBED BELOW IS THE IMPACT OF ALL OF THOSE ACTIONS TAKEN. OBESITY & HEART DISEASE ----------------------- SCREENING & EDUCATION: SHORE PARTICIPATED IN SEVERAL MAJOR HEALTH SCREENING EVENTS DURING THE TIME FRAME, INCLUDING THE ANNUAL BAYFEST HEALTH FAIR AND THE JCC SENIOR EXPO, WHICH EACH RESULTED IN DIRECT EDUCATION AND SCREENING OF APPROXIMATELY 500 PEOPLE. SCREENINGS INCLUDE CARDIAC RISK ASSESSMENTS, STROKE RISK ASSESSMENTS, SLEEP DISORDER ASSESSMENTS, BALANCE DISORDER ASSESSMENTS, CANCER RISK FACTOR EDUCATION, EMERGENCY MEDICINE AND FIRST AID, GLUCOSE AND CHOLESTEROL TESTING, WITH EDUCATION FROM A NURSE TO HELP THOSE WHO EXHIBIT HIGH NUMBERS REDUCE THEIR RISK FACTORS THROUGH DIET AND EXERCISE AND RECOMMENDED FOLLOW UP WITH A PHYSICIAN. EXAMPLES OF OTHER COMMUNITY EFFORTS TO IMPACT THESE HEALTH RISKS INCLUDE: - GET YOUR SKINNY ON!: GET YOUR SKINNY ON! IS A WORKSHOP THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO TARGET YOUNG ADULTS AND FAMILIES AS AN OBESITY PREVENTION PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY TO REDUCE CANCER INCIDENCE. THE TOPICS INCLUDE NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, EMOTIONAL COMPONENTS AND FOOD DEMONSTRATIONS. TWO PROGRAMS WERE HELD DURING 2019. - SENIOR SOCIALS: SENIOR SOCIALS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP SENIORS CONNECT WITH OTHERS WHILE LEARNING ABOUT A WIDE ARRAY OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS TOPICS. THE MONTHLY ONE-HOUR PROGRAMS OFTEN TOUCH ON CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, HEALTH SCREENINGS, EXERCISE AND FITNESS, AND NUTRITION. - SPEAKERS BUREAU: SHORE HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF MAINTAINING AN ACTIVE SPEAKERS BUREAU, WITH EXPERTS AVAILABLE TO PRESENT AT LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS ON A WIDE ARRAY OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS TOPICS. WE RESPOND ENTHUSIASTICALLY TO ALL REQUESTS AND DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE AUDIENCE. - SPLAC TOOL: THE SPLAC TOOL IS A SYSTEMATIC TOOL INTRODUCED IN 2014 AND DEVELOPED BY A HOSPITAL COMMITTEE TO LOWER READMISSION RATES IN THE HOSPITAL. THE PURPOSE IS TO RATE PATIENTS ON THEIR LIKELINESS ON BEING READMITTED. THE HIGHER THE TOTAL THE MORE LIKELY TO BE READMITTED. BY IDENTIFYING HIGH RISK PATIENTS THEN THIS IS COMMUNICATED IN A SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND WAY TO THEIR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, REHAB FACILITY, ETC. THE GOAL IS TO PUT INTERVENTIONS IN PLACE TO KEEP THE PATIENT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. THIS HAS DECREASED HOSPITAL READMISSION RATES, WHICH INDICATES THAT OUR EFFORTS ARE SUCCESSFUL. CANCER ------ SHORE MEDICAL CENTER HAS A DEDICATED CANCER CENTER. THE CANCER CENTER WORKS ON A VARIETY OF PROJECTS THAT FOCUS ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THIS IS DONE THROUGH OUR CANCER EDUCATION AND EARLY DETECTION ("CEED") PROGRAM, REGIONAL COALITION (CAPE ATLANTIC COALITION FOR HEALTH) AND COMMISSION ON CANCER PROGRAMS. WE OFFER A RANGE OF SPEAKERS ON SHORE MEDICAL CENTERS SPEAKERS BUREAU. OVER 2019, PARTICIPATION IN OVER 115 EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED REACHING OVER 3,800 PEOPLE ON VARIOUS CANCER AND HEALTH/WELLNESS TOPICS. THE CANCER CENTER PROVIDES GET YOUR SKINNY ON! EXAMPLES OF OTHER COMMUNITY EFFORTS TO IMPACT THESE HEALTH RISKS INCLUDE: - CEED PROGRAM: THE CEED PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE SCREENING FOR BREAST, CERVICAL, COLORECTAL, AND/OR PROSTATE CANCER IS AVAILABLE FOR UNINSURED and UNDERINSURED LOW INCOME PATIENTS. MORE THAN 1,200 SCREENINGS OCCURRED DURING 2019. - CHOOSE YOUR COVER FREE SKIN CANCER SCREENING EVENTS: OVER THE LAST YEAR 5 EVENTS OCCURRED SCREENING 174 PEOPLE. - BREAST EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: MULTIPLE WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON BREAST HEALTH INFORMATION SUCH AS SELF EXAMS, SCREENING GUIDELINES, RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER, AND SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BREAST CANCER. NINETEEN PROGRAMS WERE HELD DURING 2019.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5	IN THE CHNA THE ORGANIZATION TOOK INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITY. SHORE MEDICAL CENTER COMPLETED AN ONLINE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY ON HEALTH ISSUES OF CONCERN. THE SURVEY QUESTIONS WERE DEVELOPED IN A TEAM APPROACH BY BRAINSTORMING QUESTIONS AND EXAMINING SEVERAL SAMPLE SURVEYS. THE QUESTIONS WERE ADJUSTED BY STOCKTON UNIVERSITY TO PUT THE QUESTIONS IN PROPER FORMAT. THE SURVEY WAS DISPERSED THROUGH SHORE MEDICAL CENTER EMAIL BLASTS, LINKED TO THE SHORE MEDICAL CENTERS WEBSITE AND AVAILABLE IN PHYSICIAN OFFICES. APPROXIMATELY 220 PEOPLE COMPLETED THE SURVEY. THIS GROUP WAS PREDOMINATELY CAUCASIAN (89.7%), FEMALE (77.1%) AND EMPLOYED FULL TIME OR RETIRED. FIFTY-TWO PERCENT HAD A COLLEGE EDUCATION AND ONLY 1% DID NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. INSURANCE COVERAGE WAS PREDOMINATELY COMMERCIAL COVERAGE (51.4%) AND MEDICARE (36.4%) AND A MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE CONSIDERED THEMSELVES IN GOOD HEALTH OR BETTER. ADDITIONALLY, SHORE MEDICAL CENTER COMPLETED KEY REPRESENTATIVE INTERVIEWS. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM ATLANTIC COUNTY AND CAPE MAY COUNTY WERE IDENTIFIED, AS WELL AS A PUBLIC HEALTH REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY. THE QUALITATIVE DATA WAS TALLIED AND PUT TOGETHER TO FORM A PICTURE OF THE COMMUNITY. SHORE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO FORMED A CHNA INTERNAL COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS/GROUPS IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE HOSPITALS OUTREACH EFFORTS TRULY REFLECT THE CHANGING HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT IT SERVES. - ALAN BEATTY, MBA, VICE PRESIDENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES - FREDERICK CANTZ, CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER - JOSEPH JOHNSTON, MBA, CMPE, DIRECTOR OF ONCOLOGY SERVICES - BRIAN CAHILL, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING - ANGELA A.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11	THE ORGANIZATION'S IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS ADOPTED AND POSTED ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE ON DECEMBER 2, 2019. THIS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IDENTIFIES THE MEANS BY WHICH SHORE MEDICAL CENTER PLANS TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS DURING 2020 THROUGH 2022. BEYOND THE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS DETAILED IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, SHORE HAS AND CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A FULL-RANGE OF SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO OUR COMMUNITY. SHORE MEDICAL CENTERS COMMITMENT TO ITS COMMUNITY, PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS RUNS PARALLEL TO ITS NOT-FOR-PROFIT MISSION. THE FOLLOWING HEALTH ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS: OBESITY, HEART DISEASE, CANCER, DIABETES AND OPIOID ISSUES. PROJECTS WERE DEVELOPED TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS EACH OF THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS OVER THE COURSE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD. THIS STRATEGY INCLUDES PROVIDING PRIORITY ATTENTION AND PLANS TO ADDRESS THESE KEY HEALTH ISSUES THROUGH BETTER EDUCATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THROUGH THIS STRATEGY, SHORE HOPES TO IMPACT THE FOLLOWING: - CHRONIC DISEASE REDUCTION - DEATH RATE FROM HEART DISEASE DECREASE - DEATH RATE FROM CANCER DECREASE - DEATH RATE FROM DIABETES DECREASE - INCREASE ACCESS TO OPIOID ADDICTION TREATMENT BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF HOW THE ORGANIZATION PLANS TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS: OBESITY ------- POOR HEALTH STATUS CAN RESULT WHEN MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE IMPACTED BY MAJOR RISK FACTORS. ADDRESSING THESE MORE COMMON "ROOT" CAUSES OF POOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CAN SERVE TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNITYS QUALITY OF LIFE, REDUCE MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY AND PREVENT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF DISEASE. OBESITY IS LINKED TO CHRONIC DISEASE. DUE TO THE HIGH LEVEL OF OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE IN THE COMMUNITY, STRATEGIES TO REDUCE OBESITY ARE A FOCUS. STRATEGY 1: SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY FOODBANK OF NEW JERSEY (LOCAL CHAPTER) WITH A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE HOSPITAL SUCH AS FOOD DRIVES, AS WELL AS SUPPORTING THE LOCAL MOBILE FOODBANK THROUGH EDUCATION AND AID. STRATEGY 2: EDUCATE PHYSICIANS IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT TOOLS FOR PRIMARY PREVENTION OF DISEASE SUCH AS UTILIZING THE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD OR DEVELOPING SYSTEMATIC ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN THEIR PRACTICE TO PROMOTE HEALTH. CHRONIC DISEASE (HEART DISEASE, CANCER & DIABETES) ------------------------------------------------- COMMUNITY MEMBERS SUFFER FROM AND HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT HEART DISEASE, CANCER AND DIABETES. DEVELOPING AND WORKING ON THESE CHRONIC DISEASES SPECIFICALLY CAN IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISEASE. THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIES TARGET THESE AREAS DIRECTLY. STRATEGY 3: EXPANSION OF CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES BY PARTNERING WITH A TERTIARY ORGANIZATION WITH A STRONG CARDIOLOGY PROGRAM. STRATEGY 4: IMPROVE CLINICAL TRIAL ACCESS FOR COMMUNITY CANCER PATIENTS THROUGH NCI NATIONAL CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK MEMBERSHIP.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	IN ADDITION TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, THE ORGANIZATION USES OTHER FACTORS IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FREE AND DISCOUNTED CARE. AS OUTLINED IN PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 13, OTHER FACTORS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY INCLUDE: - ASSET LEVEL; - MEDICAL INDIGENCY; - INSURANCE STATUS; - UNDERINSURANCE STATUS; AND - RESIDENCY. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS OUTLINED BELOW. NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CHARITY CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ("CHARITY CARE") ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARITY CARE IS A NEW JERSEY PROGRAM IN WHICH FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE IS AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES AT ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. HOSPITAL ASSISTANCE AND REDUCED CHARGE CARE ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR NECESSARY EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. PATIENTS MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE IF THEY ARE NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS WHO: 1) HAVE NO HEALTH COVERAGE OR HAVE COVERAGE THAT PAYS ONLY PART OF THE HOSPITAL BILL (UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED); 2) ARE INELIGIBLE FOR ANY PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENTAL SPONSORED COVERAGE (SUCH AS MEDICAID); AND 3) MEET THE FOLLOWING INCOME AND ASSET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA DESCRIBED BELOW. INCOME CRITERIA: PATIENTS WITH FAMILY GROSS INCOME LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 200% OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ("FPG") ARE ELIGIBLE FOR 100% CHARITY CARE COVERAGE. PATIENTS WITH FAMILY GROSS INCOME GREATER THAN 200% AND LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 300% OF FPG ARE ELIGIBLE FOR DISCOUNTED CARE. FREE CARE OR PARTIALLY COVERED CHARGES WILL BE DETERMINED BY USE OF THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FEE SCHEDULE. IF PATIENTS ON THE 20% TO 80% SLIDING FEE SCALE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR QUALIFIED OUT-OF-POCKET PAID MEDICAL EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF 30% OF THEIR GROSS ANNUAL INCOME (I.E. BILLS UNPAID BY OTHER PARTIES), THEN THE AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF 30% IS CONSIDERED HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. ASSET CRITERIA: CHARITY CARE INCLUDES ASSET ELIGIBILITY THRESHOLDS WHICH STATES THAT INDIVIDUAL ASSETS CANNOT EXCEED $7,500 AND FAMILY ASSETS CANNOT EXCEED $15,000 AS OF THE DATE OF SERVICE. CHARITY CARE MAY BE AVAILABLE TO NON-NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS, REQUIRING IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION. NEW JERSEY UNINSURED DISCOUNT PUBLIC LAW 2008, C. 60 ("UNINSURED DISCOUNT") ---------------------------------------------------------------- THE NEW JERSEY UNINSURED DISCOUNT (NJ LAW - BILL S-1797/A-2609) IS AVAILABLE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY GROSS INCOME IS LESS THAN 500% OF FPG. ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS MUST BE NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS. HOWEVER, SMC HAS ELECTED TO APPLY THIS DISCOUNT TO ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS IRRESPECTIVE OF INCOME LEVEL OR RESIDENCY. SMC OFFERS DISCOUNTED RATES TO ALL UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, AN ELIGIBLE PATIENT WILL BE CHARGED AN AMOUNT NO GREATER THAN 115% OF THE MEDICARE FEE SCHEDULE. UNINSURED BILLING LIMITS ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH NJ P.L.2008 C60.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	NOT APPLICABLE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED FOR THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	SHORE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL D/B/A SHORE MEDICAL CENTER ("THE MEDICAL CENTER") IS PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE CALL HOME. OUR GENEROUS MEDICAL CENTER STAFF HAVE PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS EVENTS THAT SUPPORT AND EXEMPLIFY THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO CARE FOR AND RESPECT, ALL PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND EACH OTHER. ALONG WITH THE SUPERIOR CARE THAT WE DELIVER EVERY DAY, WE STRIVE TO EDUCATE AND PROMOTE WELLNESS TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE MANY OUTREACH PROGRAMS WE OFFER. MORE RECENTLY, THE MEDICAL CENTER BECAME THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN NEW JERSEY AND ONE OF LESS THAN 50 ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE TO RECEIVE PLANETREE PATIENT-CENTERED CARE DESIGNATION. THE PLANETREE MODEL OF CARE IS A PATIENT-CENTERED, HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE, PROMOTING MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL HEALING. WE HOPE TO EMPOWER OUR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION TO ULTIMATELY ENCOURAGE AND FOSTER HEALING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CAREGIVERS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 2, 3 & 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM & AFFILIATES. EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2019, THE SYSTEM ADOPTED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE (ASU) 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606) (ASU 2014-09), USING THE RETROSPECTIVE METHOD OF APPLICATION TO ALL CONTRACTS EXISTING ON JANUARY 1, 2018. THE CORE PRINCIPLE OF THE STANDARD IS THAT AN ENTITY SHOULD RECOGNIZE REVENUE TO DEPICT THE TRANSFER OF PROMISED GOODS OR SERVICES TO CUSTOMERS IN AN AMOUNT THAT REFLECTS THE CONSIDERATION TO WHICH THE ENTITY EXPECTS TO BE ENTITLED IN EXCHANGE FOR THOSE GOODS OR SERVICES. THE ADOPTION OF THE STANDARD HAD NO IMPACT ON THE SYSTEMS CURRENT OR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL POSITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR CASH FLOWS. ADDITIONALLY, MANAGEMENT DOES NOT ANTICIPATE THAT THE STANDARD WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OR TIMING OF WHEN THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES REVENUE PROSPECTIVELY. HOWEVER, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STANDARD, THE SYSTEM NOW RECOGNIZES ITS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS OF $7,534,909 FOR 2018, PRIMARILY RELATED TO ITS SELF-PAY PATIENT POPULATION, AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO REVENUES AS AN IMPLICIT PRICING CONCESSION, INSTEAD OF SEPARATELY AS A DISCRETE DEDUCTION TO ARRIVE AT PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE SYSTEMS REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE POLICIES ARE MORE FULLY DESCRIBED BELOW. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE --------------------------- PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR WHICH THE SYSTEM RECEIVES PAYMENT UNDER COST REIMBURSEMENT, PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT FORMULAS, OR NEGOTIATED RATES, WHICH COVER THE MAJORITY OF PATIENT SERVICES, ARE STATED AT THE ESTIMATED NET AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM PAYERS, WHICH ARE GENERALLY LESS THAN THE ESTABLISHED BILLING RATES OF THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES A RECEIVABLE WHEN THERE IS AN UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT TO PAYMENT, SUBJECT ONLY TO THE PASSAGE OF TIME. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, INCLUDING BILLED ACCOUNTS AND UNBILLED ACCOUNTS, WHICH HAVE THE UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT TO PAYMENT, AND ESTIMATED AMOUNTS DUE FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS FOR RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS, ARE RECORDED AS RECEIVABLES SINCE THE RIGHT TO CONSIDERATION IS UNCONDITIONAL AND ONLY THE PASSAGE OF TIME IS REQUIRED BEFORE PAYMENT OF THAT CONSIDERATION IS DUE. THE ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS THAT ARE RECORDED AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ----------------------- PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE AMOUNTS THAT REFLECT THE CONSIDERATION TO WHICH THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE ENTITLED TO IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE FOR BOTH THE MEDICAL CENTER AND ANY EMPLOYED PHYSICIANS. THESE AMOUNTS ARE DUE FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS (INCLUDING MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, I.E., MEDICARE AND MEDICAID) AND OTHERS AND THEY INCLUDED VARIABLE CONSIDERATION FOR RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO SETTLEMENT OF FUTURE AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED, AND SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN OR AS YEARS ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. GENERALLY, PATIENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORS ARE BILLED SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE SERVICES ARE PERFORMED OR SHORTLY AFTER DISCHARGE. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS RECOGNIZED IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE SATISFIED UNDER CONTRACTS BY TRANSFERRING SERVICES TO PATIENTS. PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE DETERMINED BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES REVENUES FOR PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME BASED ON ACTUAL CHARGES INCURRED IN RELATION TO TOTAL EXPECTED CHARGES. THE SYSTEM BELIEVES THAT THIS METHOD PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE DEPICTION OF THE TRANSFER OF SERVICES OVER THE TERM OF PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS BASED ON THE INPUTS NEEDED TO SATISFY THE OBLIGATIONS. GENERALLY, PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE SATISFIED OVER TIME RELATED TO PATIENTS RECEIVING INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES. THE SYSTEM MEASURES PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS FROM ADMISSION TO THE POINT WHEN THERE ARE NO FURTHER SERVICES REQUIRED FOR THE PATIENT, WHICH IS GENERALLY THE TIME OF DISCHARGE. THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES REVENUES FOR PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED AT A POINT IN TIME, WHICH GENERALLY RELATE TO PATIENTS RECEIVING OUTPATIENT SERVICES, WHEN: (1) SERVICES ARE PROVIDED; AND (2) WHEN IT IS BELIEVED THE PATIENT DOES NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SERVICES. THE SYSTEM HAS AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS THAT PROVIDE FOR PAYMENTS TO THE SYSTEM AT AMOUNTS DIFFERENT FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES. INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID PRIMARILY AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES. THESE RATES VARY ACCORDING TO PATIENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS THAT ARE BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC, AND OTHER FACTORS. CERTAIN OUTPATIENT SERVICES FOR MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID BASED ON A COST-REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. THE SYSTEM IS REIMBURSED FOR COST REIMBURSABLE AND OTHER ITEMS AT A TENTATIVE RATE, WITH FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF ANNUAL COST REPORTS BY THE SYSTEM AND AUDITS THEREOF, BY THE PROGRAMS FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. PROVISIONS FOR ESTIMATED ADJUSTMENTS RESULTING FROM AUDIT AND FINAL SETTLEMENTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ESTIMATED ADJUSTMENTS AND THE AMOUNTS SETTLED ARE RECORDED IN THE YEAR OF SETTLEMENT. THE SYSTEMS COST REPORTS HAVE NOT BEEN SETTLED BY THE FISCAL INTERMEDIARIES FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2019. IN THE OPINION OF MANAGEMENT, ADEQUATE PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE SYSTEMS COST REPORTS. FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019, NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE INCLUDES REVENUE OF APPROXIMATELY $5,698,000 RELATED TO FINAL SETTLEMENTS OF PRIOR YEAR COST REPORTS. REVENUES FROM THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS ACCOUNTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 44% AND 9% AND 39% AND 11% OF THE SYSTEMS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018, RESPECTIVELY. LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS ARE EXTREMELY COMPLEX AND SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION. AS A RESULT, THERE IS AT LEAST A REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT RECORDED ESTIMATES WILL CHANGE BY A MATERIAL AMOUNT IN THE NEAR TERM. THE SYSTEM BELIEVES THAT IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND IS NOT AWARE OF ANY PENDING OR THREATENED INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVING ALLEGATIONS OF POTENTIAL WRONGDOING THAT WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. WHILE NO SUCH REGULATORY INQUIRIES HAVE BEEN MADE, COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS CAN BE SUBJECT TO FUTURE GOVERNMENT REVIEW AND INTERPRETATIONS AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT REGULATORY ACTION INCLUDING FINES, PENALTIES, AND EXCLUSION FROM THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. THE SYSTEM HAS ALSO ENTERED INTO PAYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CERTAIN COMMERCIAL INSURANCE CARRIERS AND HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS. THE BASIS FOR PAYMENT TO THE SYSTEM UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS INCLUDES PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE, DISCOUNTS FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES, AND PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED DAILY RATES. THESE AGREEMENTS HAVE RETROSPECTIVE AUDIT CLAUSES ALLOWING THE PAYOR TO REVIEW AND ADJUST CLAIMS SUBSEQUENT TO INITIAL PAYMENT. THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR COVERAGE ON THE BASIS OF THE CONTRACTUAL RATES FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE STATE CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, THE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES REVENUE ON THE BASIS OF DISCOUNTED RATES UNDER THE UNINSURED SELF PAY PATIENT DISCOUNT POLICY. UNDER THIS POLICY, UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT ARE INELIGIBLE FOR ANY GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ARE BILLED AT REDUCED CHARGES COMPARABLE TO THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE BASED UPON THE SYSTEM-SPECIFIC MEDICARE COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE IMPACT OF THIS UNINSURED SELF PAY DISCOUNT POLICY ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS LOWER PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, AS THE DISCOUNT IS CONSIDERED A PRICING CONSTRAINT. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE FOR BOTH OF THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018, IS 98% FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS AND 2% FROM SELF-PAY BASED ON PRIMARY INSURANCE DESIGNATION. DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS UNDER THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROGRAMS WITHIN THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR AMOUNTS ABOVE ARE THE PATIENTS RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE SYST
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2019 MEDICARE COST REPORT. 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 2017, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 87 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. - 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 THOSE WHO DO NOT PAY ALL, OR A PORTION OF THE ALREADY DISCOUNTED BILLED AMOUNTS UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. 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 CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. SHORE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES A FULL-RANGE OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. WE RECOGNIZE THAT A CRITICAL PART OF PROVIDING HEALTHCARE SERVICES INCLUDES MITIGATING CONCERNS OUR PATIENTS MAY HAVE RELATED TO BILLING MATTERS. THIS BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY IS OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY, PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WE SERVE. THIS COMMITMENT RUNS PARALLEL TO OUR NOT FOR PROFIT MISSION AND IS EVIDENCED BY THE FOLLOWING PROACTIVE MEASURES TAKEN BY SHORE MEDICAL CENTER TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO OUR PATIENTS. SHORE MEDICAL CENTER HAS A DISCOUNT PROGRAM TO ASSIST PATIENTS WHO ARE LEAST ABLE TO PAY. THE POLICY IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL RELIEF TO OUR SELF-PAY POPULATION BY REDUCING THE HOSPITAL'S STANDARD CHARGE FOR SERVICES RENDERED. AT THE TIME OF BILLING THE PATIENT, THE CHARGES ARE REDUCED TO AN ESTIMATED COST OF SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL ALSO ENSURES THAT ALL PATIENTS RECEIVE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE STATE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM FOR THE UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED. TO INQUIRE ABOUT SHORE'S SELF-PAY BILLING AND DISCOUNT POLICY, CHARITY CARE OR PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS, PATIENTS MAY CONTACT THE PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES CREDIT AND COLLECTIONS OFFICE. SHORE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO OFFERS FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND SCREENING FOR PATIENTS TO ENSURE THAT ANY POTENTIAL THIRD PARTY COVERAGE UNDER OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, SUCH AS MEDICAID, CAN BE IDENTIFIED. THIS SERVICE IS PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE PATIENT. BILLING & COLLECTIONS --------------------- THE ORGANIZATION ABIDES BY PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE PROVISIONS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: THE HOSPITAL APPROVES PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR OUR PATIENTS WHO CANNOT PAY THEIR BILLS IN FULL. THESE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE TAILORED TO THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF THE PATIENT. WE DO NOT CHARGE ADDITIONAL FEES IN THE FORM OF INTEREST FOR CARRYING THE BALANCES BEING PAID UNDER THESE ARRANGEMENTS. THE ACCOUNTS OF PATIENTS FOR WHICH THERE IS NO IDENTIFIED THIRD PARTY INSURANCE WILL FOLLOW A PREDEFINED SELF-PAY COLLECTION CYCLE. ANY REMAINING UNPAID ACCOUNTS THAT ARE NOT IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AFTER A DEFINED SELF-PAY COLLECTION CYCLE OF 120 DAYS WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO A THIRD PARTY AGENCY FOR COLLECTION. THE ACCOUNT WILL REMAIN WITH THIS AGENCY FOR 180 DAYS. AFTER THIS TIME PERIOD, WITHOUT ANY AGREED UPON PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS TO SATISFY THE UNPAID BALANCE, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER THIRDS PARTY COLLECTION AGENCY. AT THIS TIME, THE UNPAID BALANCE MAY BE REPORTED TO A CREDIT AGENCY, AND AS SUCH, APPEAR ON THE ACCOUNT GUARANTOR'S CREDIT REPORT. SHORE MEDICAL CENTER PURSUES COLLECTION OF BALANCES RIGHTFULLY OWED BY PATIENTS FOR SERVICES RENDERED AND CONTRACTS WITH THIRD PARTY COLLECTION AGENCIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING DELINQUENT ACCOUNT BALANCES. THE COLLECTION AGENCIES OPERATE UNDER THE FEDERAL FAIR DEBT, CREDIT AND COLLECTION GUIDELINES. COLLECTION AGENCY ACTIVITY IS CLOSELY MONITORED BY THE HOSPITAL TO ENSURE THAT PATIENT COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE APPROPRIATE AND IN-LINE WITH OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE PHILOSOPHY. ALL PATIENT COMPLAINTS REGARDING DISSATISFACTION WITH SERVICES RENDERED OR BILLING ISSUES ARE HANDLED PROMPTLY AND IN A COURTEOUS MANNER TO ENSURE THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE REMAINS THE FOCUS OF ANY PATIENT CONCERN. ALL COMPLAINTS ARE CONSIDERED VALID AND PATIENT FEEDBACK IS WELCOME WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTED MATTERS. THE HOSPITAL ABSORBS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT ANNUALLY (BALANCES DUE BY PATIENTS THAT ARE INTENTIONALLY NOT PAID), OR ARE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES, BANKRUPTCY FILINGS AND OTHER COLLECTION MATTERS.

THIS THIRD PARTY MEETS WITH INPATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND WALK IN PATIENTS TO PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY GUIDANCE FOR THE PATIENT FINANCIAL NEEDS. IN ADDITION THEY ALSO MAKE HOUSE CALLS FOR THOSE THAT NEED FURTHER ASSISTANCE AND HELP IN GETTING TO THE AGENCIES NECESSARY TO COMPLETE STATE APPLICATIONS. THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO HAS AN ADDITIONAL 4 INDIVIDUALS THAT HELP PATIENTS COMPLETE THESE FORMS IN THE BUSINESS OFFICE, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4	SHORE MEDICAL CENTER IS LOCATED IN SOMERS POINT, ATLANTIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES SOUTH OF ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY. THE MEDICAL CENTER SERVES THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF BOTH THE YEAR ROUND AND SUMMER RESIDENTS OF ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTIES AS WELL AS SEASONAL VISITORS FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES AND STATES. THE FOLLOWING DEMOGRAPHICS WERE CITED IN THE ORGANIZATIONS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT: - ATLANTIC COUNTYS POPULATION IN 2000 WAS 252,552. IT INCREASED TO 274,549 IN 2010 WHICH RESULTED IN AN 8.7% INCREASE TO THE TOTAL POPULATION. CAPE MAY COUNTYS POPULATION WAS 102,326 IN 2000 AND DECREASED TO 97,265 IN 2010 WHICH RESULTED IN A 4.9% DECREASE TO THE TOTAL POPULATION. INDIVIDUAL MUNICIPALITIES FLUCTUATE BETWEEN INCREASES AND DECREASES OF POPULATION. BUENA, EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, HAMILTON TOWNSHIP AND WEYMOUTH TOWNSHIP HAD AN INCREASE OF 18% OR HIGHER WHILE BRIGANTINE, MARGATE, VENTNOR AND OCEAN CITY HAD A DECREASE OF 17% OR MORE. - THE MEDIAN AGE IN ATLANTIC COUNTY WAS 37.0 IN 2000 AND 39.9 IN 2010. CAPE MAY COUNTY MEDIAN AGE IS WAS 40.7 IN 2000 AND 47.1 IN 2010. THE POPULATION IS GROWING OLDER. ATLANTIC COUNTYS TOTAL POPULATION IN 2010 CONSISTED OF 133,175 MEN AND 141,374 WOMEN REPRESENTING 48.5% AND 51.5% OF THE POPULATION RESPECTIVELY. AS THE POPULATION GROWS OLDER, THE COMPOSITION OF THE POPULATION CHANGES TO A HIGHER FEMALE BASED POPULATION. 51.3% OF THE POPULATION UNDER 19 IS MALE WITH 48.7% BEING FEMALE. IN THE AGE CATEGORY OF 80 AND OVER 35.7% OF THE POPULATION IS MALE AND 64.3% IS FEMALE. ADDITIONALLY, GENERATIONAL FLUCTUATIONS CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS THE 30-34 AND 35-39 AGE GROUPS ARE IN A DECREASE BETWEEN 2000 AND 2010 AND THE 55-59 AND 60-64 AGE GROUPS ARE IN AN INCREASE BETWEEN 2000 AND 2010. THE 85-89 AGE GROUP ALSO HAD A LARGE INCREASE. THESE POPULATION SHIFTS ILLUSTRATE THE POTENTIAL CHANGES NEEDED IN MEDICAL CARE SERVICES. IN 2010, ATLANTIC COUNTY HAD 38,902 CITIZENS 65 YEARS OLD OR OLDER WHICH IS 14.2% OF ITS POPULATION. 11 OUT OF 23 MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF SENIOR CITIZENS COMPARED TO THE COUNTY OVERALL AVERAGE.

OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS THE PUERTO RICAN POPULATION INCREASED 24.6% WHILE THE MEXICAN POPULATION DOUBLED AT AN INCREASE OF 118.8%. - THE 2010 CENSUS INFORMATION WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR INCOME; THEREFORE THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY CONDUCTED BY THE CENSUS BUREAU WAS USED TO ESTIMATE INCOME NUMBERS. THE ATLANTIC COUNTY 5 YEAR ESTIMATE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,645 HOUSEHOLDS. HOUSEHOLDS ARE DEFINED AS EVERYONE LIVING IN A HOUSING UNIT AS THEIR USUAL RESIDENCE. THE ATLANTIC COUNTY MEDIAN INCOME WAS $54,766 AND THE MEAN INCOME WAS $71,086. CAPE MAY COUNTY HAD 45,420 HOUSEHOLDS WITH A MEDIAN INCOME OF $54,292 AND A MEAN INCOME OF $74,630.

CAPE MAY COUNTY HAS A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION THAT SPEAKS ONLY ENGLISH CONSISTING OF 90.9% OF THE POPULATION. THE HIGHEST SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION THAT SPEAKS ANOTHER LANGUAGE IS SPANISH OR SPANISH CREOLE. THIS IS ALSO THE CASE WITH NEW JERSEY AS A WHOLE (14.6%). - APPROXIMATELY 8.8% OF ATLANTIC COUNTY AND 13.4% OF CAPE MAY COUNTY ARE VETERANS. VIETNAM VETERANS MAKE UP THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF VETERANS AS SEEN IN TABLE 9-1. IN BOTH ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTY MOST VETERANS ARE MEN (94.7% AND 95.0% RESPECTIVELY) AND WHITE (79.9% AND 93.7%) OR AFRICAN AMERICAN (14.1% AND 4.1%). AGE GROUPS VARY WITH MOST VETERANS 35 AND OVER. - AMERICANS WHO DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE ARE LESS LIKELY TO RECEIVE ANNUAL PREVENTIVE CARE SUCH AS ROUTINE EXAMS AND SCREENINGS FOR CHRONIC DISEASE, ACCESS TO MEDICATION AND OFTEN RECEIVE DELAYED TREATMENT AND PREMATURE MORTALITY. APPROXIMATELY 35,000 PEOPLE IN ATLANTIC COUNTY AND 10,000 PEOPLE IN CAPE MAY COUNTY DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. THERE ARE MORE MEN WHO DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE THAN WOMEN. - ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTY HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST SMOKING PERCENTAGES IN NEW JERSEY.

WHILE BOTH COUNTIES HAVE A HIGHER HEART DISEASE RATE THAN NEW JERSEY, ATLANTIC COUNTYS RATE IS 27.6% HIGHER THAN THE STATES RATE. CANCER IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN ALL THREE AREAS. ATLANTIC COUNTYS CANCER MORTALITY RATE IS 9.6% HIGHER WHILE CAPE MAY COUNTYS CANCER MORTALITY RATE IS 12.4% HIGHER THAN NEW JERSEY. HEART DISEASE AND CANCER ATTRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST NUMBER OF DEATHS. CDC CALCULATES THAT HEART DISEASE AND CANCER CONTRIBUTE TO NEARLY 48% OF ALL DEATHS.

MOREOVER, THE MEDICAL CENTER OPERATES CONSISTENTLY WITH THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA OUTLINED IN IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545: 1) THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, SELF-PAY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS; 2) THE MEDICAL CENTER OPERATES AN ACTIVE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR ALL PERSONS; WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS PER YEAR; 3) THE MEDICAL CENTER MAINTAINS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF, WITH PRIVILEGES AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS; 4) CONTROL OF THE MEDICAL CENTER RESTS WITH ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES; WHICH IS COMPRISED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS AND OTHER PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY; AND 5) SURPLUS FUNDS ARE USED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE, EXPAND AND RENOVATE FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL CARE; PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. THE OPERATIONS OF THE MEDICAL CENTER, AS SHOWN THROUGH THE FACTORS OUTLINED ABOVE AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THAT THE USE AND CONTROL OF SHORE IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC AND THAT NO PART OF THE INCOME OR NET EARNINGS OF THE ORGANIZATION INURES TO THE BENEFIT OF ANY PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL NOR IS ANY PRIVATE INTEREST BEING SERVED OTHER THAN INCIDENTALLY. MISSION STATEMENT ================= WE CARE FOR AND RESPECT ALL PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND EACH OTHER. ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW ===================== THE MEDICAL CENTER IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE RESOURCE THAT HAS SERVED SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY FOR MORE THAN 75 YEARS. IN THAT TIME, THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS BECOME KNOWN FOR PROVIDING A COMPASSIONATE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT GOES HAND IN HAND WITH ITS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND MODERN MEDICAL FACILITIES. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS A 199 BED, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ACUTE CARE MEDICAL CENTER LOCATED IN SOMERS POINT, ATLANTIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES SOUTH OF ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS LICENSED AND APPROVED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY TO OPERATE AS A GENERAL ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL PROVIDING BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS UNDERGONE MORE THAN FOURTEEN MAJOR CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION PROJECTS SINCE 1940 TO PROVIDE NECESSARY FACILITIES AND SERVICES FOR ITS EXPANDING PATIENT POPULATION. IN 2013, THE MEDICAL CENTER UNVEILED A NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART MEDICAL ONCOLOGY SUITE ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF ITS FREESTANDING CANCER CENTER. THE 3,600 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION FEATURES EIGHT SPACIOUS INFUSION THERAPY BAYS, THREE EXAM ROOMS, A FAMILY WAITING ROOM, NUTRITION CENTER AND A FULLY EQUIPPED AND STOCKED PHARMACY WITH A FULL-TIME ONCOLOGY PHARMACIST. THE MEDICAL CENTER ENGAGES THE TALENTS AND TEAMWORK OF THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY.

IN ADDITION TO ITS COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS, THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE TO THOSE LEAST ABLE TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES. IN KEEPING WITH ITS MISSION TO CARE FOR PATIENTS, THE MEDICAL CENTER SERVES ALL WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. IN 2019, THE MEDICAL CENTER SPENT APPROXIMATELY $1.3M AT COST FOR MEDICAL SERVICES DELIVERED TO THESE PATIENTS. THE MEDICAL CENTER ONLY RECEIVED A STATE SUBSIDY OF APPROXIMATELY $158,000 TO OFFSET THIS AMOUNT. THE MEDICAL CENTER RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY IMPOSED ON THE SELF-PAY PATIENT WHO IS LEAST ABLE TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHEN BILLED AT THE MEDICAL CENTER'S STANDARD CHARGES. THEREFORE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ESTABLISHED AN INNOVATIVE POLICY TO ADDRESS THE DISPARITY BETWEEN HOSPITAL-BILLED CHARGES AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THE SELF-PAY PATIENT OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENT. THE METHOD ADOPTED IS BASED UPON SOUND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS USING A KNOWN STANDARD DEVELOPED FOR THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE POLICY IS TO APPLY THE MOST CURRENT HOSPITAL SPECIFIC MEDICARE COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO THE SELF-PAY PATIENT'S TOTAL CHARGE BALANCE AND ADJUST THE BILL TO COST. THIS ADJUSTMENT IS LIMITED ONLY TO THOSE PATIENTS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. THIS RATIO IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS DETERMINED BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY THE COST ADJUSTED BILL IN FULL ARE PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO A HOSPITAL-APPROVED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE DETERMINED BASED UPON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PATIENT AND PAID OVER TIME USING OUR EXISTING PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT METHODOLOGY. AS A NON-PROFIT HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, IT IS THE MEDICAL CENTER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS COMMITTED TO THE COMMUNITY THAT IT SERVES. THE CHALLENGE OF MEETING THE HIGH COSTS OF PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DEDICATION OF PHYSICIANS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS.
