| GROUP A, FACILITY 1, JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 3E | DURING FY18, MSHA HOSPITALS WERE OPERATING UNDER THE CHNA APPROVED BY ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT THE END OF FY15. PRIORITIES WERE ESTABLISHED FOR ALL MSHA HOSPITALS' CHNAS AND PRIORITIES WERE DETERMINED BY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. MSHA HOSPITALS CONDUCTED THEIR THIRD CHNA THIS TAX REPORTING PERIOD WITH BOARD APPROVAL AND PUBLICATION OCCURRING AT THE END OF FY18. FOR THE NEW FY18 CHNAS, BALLAD HEALTH AND ITS HOSPITALS AND ENTITIES AGREED TO FOCUS ON AN INDEX OF 25 ACTIVE POPULATION HEALTH INDEX MEASURES (PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 31 MEASURES FOR MONITORING). THE POPULATION HEALTH INDEX ITSELF IS BASED ON THE FOCUS AREAS OUTLINED IN THE PREVIOUS (FY15 FOR MSHA'S HOSPITALS) CHNAS AND ALIGN WITH NATIONAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS, SUCH AS HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020. TO UNDERSTAND EACH COMMUNITY'S INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, BALLAD HEALTH CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) FOR EACH BALLAD HOSPITAL TO PROFILE THE HEALTH OF THE RESIDENTS WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREA. THROUGHOUT THE CHNA PROCESS, HIGH PRIORITY WAS GIVEN TO DETERMINING THE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND AVAILABLE RESOURCES WITHIN EACH COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM EACH COUNTY MET WITH BALLAD REPRESENTATIVES TO DISCUSS CURRENT HEALTH PRIORITIES AND IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS. JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER'S CHNA WAS CONDUCTED WITH FRANKLIN WOODS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (FWCH). FWCH IS LOCATED IN THE SAME SERVICE AREA AS JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER SO THE TWO HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS AND HEALTH NEEDS ARE THE SAME. JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER INCLUDES NISWONGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND WOODRIDGE HOSPITAL, A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FACILITY. THE WASHINGTON COUNTY CHNA COMMUNITY MEMBERS EVALUATED MEASURES THAT MAKE UP BALLAD HEALTH'S POPULATION HEALTH INDEX AND A FEW ADDITIONAL MEASURES RELATED TO ACCESS TO HEALTH SCREENINGS. THE JCMC/FWCH GROUP'S MEMBERS COMPLETED A SURVEY RELATIVE TO WHAT HEALTH PRIORITIES SHOULD BE A FOCUS FOR THEIR SPECIFIC COMMUNITY OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. AFTER ALL THE DETAILS AND DATA COLLECTION WAS COMPLETE AND INTERVIEWS WITH VARIOUS FOCUS GROUPS WERE COMPLETE, THE WASHINGTON COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES IDENTIFIED THE TOP FOCUS AREAS. FOUR KEY PRIORITIES WERE IDENTIFIED: -SMOKING -SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH -OBESITY -EARLY INTERVENTION: VACCINATIONS, SCREENINGS, THIRD-GRADE READING LEVEL FOR 3RD GRADERS, AND DIABETES COUNSELING |
| GROUP A, FACILITY 1, JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 5 | AS PART OF THE FY18 BALLAD HEALTH CHNA PROCESS, BALLAD CONDUCTED LOCALIZED COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS WITH ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVES SUCH AS THOSE FROM LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, SCHOOL SYSTEMS, HEALTH CLINICS, EMERGENCY SERVICES, BUSINESSES, AND PHILANTHROPIC BOARDS. THE INDIVIDUALS IN EACH COMMUNITY WERE SELECTED FOR PARTICIPATION BY THE HOSPITAL'S CEO. JCMC INCLUDES WOODRIDGE HOSPITAL, ITS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FACILITY, AND NISWONGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. BECAUSE JCMC AND FRANKLIN WOODS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SERVE THE SAME COMMUNITY, THE TWO HOSPITALS CONDUCTED THE FY18 CHNA TOGETHER. THE JCMC/FWCH FOCUS GROUP MEMBERS WERE REPRESENTED BY WASHINGTON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, JOHNSON CITY MAYOR'S OFFICE, EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, BALLAD HEALTH EMPLOYEES, MEMBERS OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY FOUNDATION BOARD, MEMBERS OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUNITY BOARD, AND MEMBERS OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY MEDICAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. LOW INCOME, MINORITY AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS WERE REPRESENTED BY WASHINGTON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY (ETSU) COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER. ETSU'S COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY FACILITY FOR THE DELIVERY OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND EDUCATION OF ETSU COLLEGE OF NURSING STUDENTS. THE HEALTH CENTER PROVIDES HEALTH CARE TO THE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED, TENNCARE ENROLLEES, A GROWING HISPANIC POPULATION AND MEDICALLY INDIGENT INDIVIDUALS. ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE JUNE 2018 ASSESSMENT TOOK PLACE FROM FALL OF 2017 THROUGH THE SPRING OF 2018. COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM EACH COUNTY MET WITH BALLAD HEALTH REPRESENTATIVES TO DISCUSS HEALTH PRIORITIES AND IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS. COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE MADE AWARE OF THE 25 MEASURES THAT MAKE UP BALLAD HEALTH'S POPULATION HEALTH INDEX PLUS 3 ADDITIONAL MEASURES RELATED TO ACCESS TO HEALTH SCREENING. PARTICIPANTS THEN COMPLETED A SURVEY TO INDICATE THEIR OPINION ON WHAT HEALTH PRIORITIES SHOULD BE A FOCUS FOR THEIR COMMUNITY. |
| GROUP A, FACILITY 1, JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 6A | EACH HOSPITAL WITHIN MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE COMPLETED A CHNA THIS FISCAL YEAR. THE HOSPITALS WITHIN THE MSHA FEIN (INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 990) INCLUDE: JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER (INCLUDES NISWONGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND WOODRIDGE HOSPITAL), FRANKLIN WOODS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, INDIAN PATH MEDICAL CENTER, JOHNSON COUNTY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, RUSSELL COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER, SYCAMORE SHOALS HOSPITAL, AND UNICOI COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. A SPEARATE FORM 990 IS FILED FOR EACH MSHA HOSPITAL THAT IS A SEPARATE FEIN ENTITY. |
| GROUP A, FACILITY 1, JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 11 | DURING THE YEAR, JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON ITS CHNA PRIORITIES AS IDENTIFIED IN ITS FY15 REPORT. JCMC'S PRIMARY AREAS OF FOCUS INCLUDED: DIABETES, OBESITY/PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, HEART DISEASE AND SUBSTANCE/DRUG ABUSE. MANY ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY NEEDS EXIST IN OUR REGION. IT IS FISCALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A HOSPITAL TO ADDRESS EVERY HEALTH NEED IN A COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHY THE CHNA PROCESS IS USED TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE AREAS OF FOCUS. A THOUGHTFUL CHNA EVALUATES OVERALL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS TO DETERMINE WHICH ONES THE HOSPITAL CAN BEST INFLUENCE IN A POSITIVE WAY. CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE HOSPITAL'S GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAT ALREADY OFFER SERVICES ADDRESSING SPECIFIC HEALTH NEEDS. IN SOME CASES, IT IS BEST TO SIMPLY SUPPORT AN IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED THROUGH A FINANCIAL DONATION TO ANOTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION SKILLED IN CERTAIN AREAS: TEEN PREGNANCY, DENTAL HEALTH, FIGHTING HOMELESSNESS, ETC. THE HOSPITAL AND MSHA'S CORPORATE DEPARTMENTS ALSO LEND SUPPORT TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS BY SERVING ON THEIR BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND ASSISTING WITH FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER, ALONG WITH MSHA'S OTHER HOSPITALS, HAS BEEN DILIGENT IN ITS GOAL TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE PRESCRIBING OF OPIOIDS AND A REDUCTION IN OPIOIDS IN OUR REGION. THE RESULT IS A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN PRESCRIBING RATES. OPIOID DOSES ADMINISTERED AT MSHA'S HOSPITALS WERE REDUCED BY MORE THAN 40 PERCENT. OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PRESCRIBING RATES ARE NOW 26 PERCENT BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. JCMC'S NISWONGER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL LAUNCHED FAMILIES THRIVE THIS YEAR. THIS NEW PROGRAM IS PART OF OUR NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME (NAS) PROGRAM FOR BABIES WHO ARE EXPOSED TO ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCES BEFORE BIRTH. THE FAMILY THRIVE PROGRAM PROVIDED COUNSELING FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY, TOOLS FOR PARENTING SKILLS AND CONNECTIONS TO OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICES THAT CAN ASSIST FAMILIES AFTER THE BABY LEAVES THE HOSPITAL. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE ADDICTED MOTHERS WITH TREATMENT PLANS FOR NARCOTIC RECOVERY IF THEY ARE NOT IN A PROGRAM ALREADY. NEARLY 30 PERCENT OF THE BABIES IN OUR NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT SUFFER FROM NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME. JCMC OPENED A NEW CDU (CLINICAL DECISION UNIT) THIS YEAR. THE CDU IS AN EXTENSION OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO SERVE PATIENTS NEEDING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE. SOME OF THESE PATIENTS MAY BE TRANSITIONED TO INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC CARE WHILE OTHERS WILL BE DISCHARGED TO OUTPATIENT SERVICE ONCE STABILIZED. JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER'S HEALTH RESOURCES CENTER (HRC) PROVIDES NUMEROUS HEALTH SCREENINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, A WIDE RANGE OF FREE HEALTH EDUCATION CLASSES, MOST OF WHICH TARGET HEALTH NEED PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S CHNA. FOR EXAMPLE, MANY CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON HEALTHY EATING, OBESITY, HEART HEALTH AND DIABETES, ALL DIRECTLY RELATED TO OUR FY15 CHNA. THIS YEAR, THE HRC PROVIDED INDIVIDUAL NUTRITION EDUCATION SESSIONS AND OUTREACH SERVICES THAT CONNECTED TO ALMOST 8,000 RESIDENTS. IN ADDITION, THE HRC HAD MORE THAN 12,000 VISITS TO ITS OFFICE DURING FY18. JCMC OFFERS NUMEROUS SUPPORT GROUPS FOR VARIOUS CHRONIC CONDITIONS. OUR PARISH NURSE PROGRAM OFFERS HEALTH EDUCATION WITHIN PLACES OF WORSHIP. THE NURSES ALSO CONDUCT HEALTH SCREENINGS THAT DETECT HEALTH ISSUES THAT NEED ATTENTION. OUR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL PROVIDES MANY ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL SUPPORTS MORNING MILE, A PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO OFFER EXERCISE IN THE MORNINGS BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN. HEART DISEASE WAS A PRIORITY STATED IN THE FY15 CHNA. JCMC OPERATES A FREE CONGESTIVE HEALTH FAILURE CLINIC TO HELP PATIENTS MANAGE THEIR DISEASE. THE CLINIC IS STAFFED BY A NURSE PRACTITIONER WORKING WITH CARDIOLOGISTS TO EVALUATE AND PROVIDE EDUCATION TO HELP PATIENTS IMPROVE THEIR CARDIAC FUNCTION AND LESSEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF ACUTE EPISODES OF HEART FAILURE. PATIENTS WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE HEART FAILURE CLINIC HAVE A LOWER HOSPITAL READMISSION RATE. JCMC MADE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING COMMUNITY SERVICES THAT SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL'S CHNA. JCMC CONTRIBUTIONS BENEFITED AN ORGANIZATION THAT FOCUSED ON HEALTHY EATING FOR CHILDREN, AN ORGANIZATION WORKING TO UNDERSTAND LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME, DONATIONS TO FUND PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AT A LOCAL FAIR, A DONATION TO A FOOD PANTRY THAT PROVIDES FOOD FOR KIDS DURING THE SUMMER, AND A SIGNIFICANT DONATION TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR LOW INCOME RESIDENTS IN APPALACHIA. THE MSHA ENTITY INCLUDES THE HOSPITALS REPORTED IN THIS FORM 990, A HOME HEALTH AGENCY AND ITS CORPORATE DEPARTMENTS. MOST OF THE CHARITABLE DONATIONS MADE DURING THE YEAR ARE REPORTED IN A CORPORATE DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN BY ONE OF THE HOSPITALS. MORE DETAIL OF MSHA'S TOTAL CHARITABLE DONATIONS DURING THE YEAR IS REPORTED IN THE CORE FORM OF THE FORM 990 - PART III PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. FREE MEDICATIONS WERE PROVIDED TO SOME LOW-INCOME PATIENTS AT THE TIME OF THEIR DISCHARGE. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDED FREE LAB SERVICES TO A NONPROFIT CLINIC THAT PROVIDES PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND ENGAGES IN MANY OUTREACH CONTACTS EACH YEAR TO INDIVIDUALS ON THE STREET, IN SHELTERS AND IN FARM WORKER CAMPS. |

THE IPMC GROUP'S MEMBERS COMPLETED A SURVEY RELATIVE TO WHAT HEALTH PRIORITIES SHOULD BE A FOCUS FOR THEIR SPECIFIC COMMUNITY OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. AFTER THE INITIAL FOCUS GROUP, THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BOARD WAS INVOLVED TO DISCUSS THE SELECTED HEALTH PRIORITIES AND TO GIVE INPUT ON ANY ADDITIONAL PRIORITIES. AFTER ALL THE DETAILS AND DATA COLLECTION WAS COMPLETE, THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BOARD VOTED TO APPROVE THE SELECTED PRIORITIES. FOUR KEY PRIORITIES WERE IDENTIFIED: - SMOKING - SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH - OBESITY - EARLY INTERVENTION: VACCINATIONS AND THIRD-GRADE READING LEVEL FOR 3RD GRADERS |
| GROUP A, FACILITY 2, INDIAN PATH MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 5 | AS PART OF THE BALLAD HEALTH FY18 CHNA PROCESS, BALLAD CONDUCTED LOCALIZED COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS WITH ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVES SUCH AS THOSE FROM LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, SCHOOL SYSTEMS, HEALTH CLINICS, EMERGENCY SERVICES, BUSINESSES, AND PHILANTHROPIC BOARDS. THE INDIVIDUALS IN EACH COMMUNITY WERE SELECTED FOR PARTICIPATION BY THE HOSPITAL'S CEO. INDIAN PATH MEDICAL CENTER'S FOCUS GROUP MEMBERS WERE REPRESENTED BY SULLIVAN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, HEALTHY KINGSPORT, HEALTH RESOURCES CENTER - KINGSPORT, SULLIVAN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, KINGSPORT BOARD OF MAYOR & ALDERMAN, KINGSPORT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, UNITED WAY, GIRLS INC., MEMBERS OF IPMC FOUNDATION BOARD, AND MEMBERS OF IPMC COMMUNITY BOARD. THE HEALTH RESOURCES CENTER, SULLIVAN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UNITED WAY OF KINGSPORT, AND GIRLS INC. OF KINGSPORT REPRESENTED LOW-INCOME, MINORITY AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. ALSO, BETWEEN THE FOUNDATION BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY BOARD, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT SIT ON EACH OF THESE BOARDS THAT REPRESENT LOW INCOME, MINORITY POPULATIONS, AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED.

| GROUP A, FACILITY 2, INDIAN PATH MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 11 | DURING THE YEAR, INDIAN PATH MEDICAL CENTER CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON ITS CHNA PRIORITIES AS IDENTIFIED IN ITS FY15 REPORT. IPMC'S PRIMARY AREAS OF FOCUS INCLUDED: DIABETES, OBESITY, CANCER, HEART DISEASE AND SUBSTANCE/NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME. MANY ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY NEEDS EXIST IN OUR REGION.

THE HOSPITAL ALSO LENDS SUPPORT TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS BY SERVING ON THEIR BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND ASSISTING WITH FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. TO BETTER MANAGE CERTAIN HEART DISEASE PATIENTS, THE HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTED DISEASE MANAGERS AND A TRANSITIONAL CARE CLINIC. BOTH PROGRAMS FACILITATE CARE FOR PATIENTS THAT MAY LACK THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO PROPERLY TREAT THEIR CONDITIONS. IN RECOGNITION OF THE SIGNIFICANT ROLE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS PLAY IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE, THE HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM HAVE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS TO REDUCE OPIATE PRESCRIBING. THE CHNA CONTINUES TO ENCOURAGE PROGRAMMATIC INVESTMENTS MADE BY THE HOSPITAL SUCH AS THE INTRODUCTION OF LOW-DOSE CT LUNG SCREENING FOR CANCER TO DETECT CANCER EARLIER. 579 FREE LUNG SCREENING SCANS WERE PROVIDED DURING FY18. INDIAN PATH'S HEALTH RESOURCES CENTER (HRC) PROVIDES NUMEROUS HEALTH SCREENINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, A WIDE RANGE OF FREE HEALTH EDUCATION CLASSES, MOST OF WHICH TARGET HEALTH NEED PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S CHNA. THIS YEAR, THE HRC PROVIDED INDIVIDUAL NUTRITION EDUCATION SESSIONS AND OUTREACH SERVICES THAT CONNECTED TO MORE THAN 15,000 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION, THE HRC HAD ALMOST 12,000 VISITS TO ITS OFFICE DURING FY18. IPMC ALSO OFFERS NUMEROUS SUPPORT GROUPS FOR VARIOUS CHRONIC CONDITIONS. ONE EXAMPLE IS OUR BETTER BREATHERS CLUB THAT MEETS MONTHLY. THE HOSPITAL'S LAB DEPARTMENT PROVIDED FREE LAB TESTING FOR TWO LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. ONE NONPROFIT SERVES TWO RURAL IMPOVERISHED COUNTIES IN EAST TENNESSEE BY PROVIDING FOOD, HEALTH SCREENINGS, A DENTAL CLINIC, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL SERVICES. THE OTHER NONPROFIT OFFERS MEDICAL CARE TO PERSONS WITH INCOMES 150% OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. INDIAN PATH IS VERY ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY. ONE EXAMPLE OF THAT IS THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED ANNUAL 9-DAY FUN FEST FESTIVAL IN KINGSPORT. EVERY YEAR, INDIAN PATH IS VERY INVOLVED IN THE FESTIVAL, OFFERING MANY ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN THAT INVOLVE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. OVER 1,000 CHILDREN PARTICIPATED IN OUR FUN FEST ACTIVITIES THIS YEAR DESPITE NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES. INDIAN PATH PROVIDED FREE MEDICATIONS TO SOME LOW-INCOME PATIENTS AT THEIR TIME OF DISCHARGE. |

SSH'S PRIMARY AREAS OF FOCUS INCLUDED: DIABETES, OBESITY, SMOKING, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. MANY ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY NEEDS EXIST IN OUR REGION. IT IS FISCALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A HOSPITAL TO ADDRESS EVERY HEALTH NEED IN A COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHY THE CHNA PROCESS IS USED TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE AREAS OF FOCUS. A THOUGHTFUL CHNA EVALUATES OVERALL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS TO DETERMINE WHICH ONES THE HOSPITAL CAN BEST INFLUENCE IN A POSITIVE WAY. CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE HOSPITAL'S GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAT ALREADY OFFER SERVICES ADDRESSING SPECIFIC HEALTH NEEDS. IN SOME CASES, IT IS BEST TO SIMPLY SUPPORT AN IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED THROUGH A FINANCIAL DONATION TO ANOTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION SKILLED IN CERTAIN AREAS: TEEN PREGNANCY, DENTAL HEALTH, FIGHTING HOMELESSNESS, ETC. THE HOSPITAL ALSO LENDS SUPPORT TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS BY SERVING ON THEIR BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND ASSISTING WITH FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. SYCAMORE SHOALS HOSPITAL, ALONG WITH MSHA'S OTHER HOSPITALS, HAS BEEN DILIGENT IN ITS GOAL TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE PRESCRIBING OF OPIOIDS AND A REDUCTION IN OPIOIDS IN OUR REGION. THE RESULT IS A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN PRESCRIBING RATES. OPIOID DOSES ADMINISTERED AT MSHA'S HOSPITALS WERE REDUCED BY MORE THAN 40 PERCENT. OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PRESCRIBING RATES ARE NOW 26 PERCENT BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. OUR HOSPITAL PROVIDED AN RN TO WORK WITH AND ROLE MODEL PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIORS AND LIFE SKILLS TO YOUNG WOMEN IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE IN RECOVERY FROM DRUG AND/OR ALCOHOL ABUSE.

KIDS ENGAGED WITH MORNING MILE ARE ABLE TO EXERCISE BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN WHICH HAS SHOWN TO REDUCE STRESS AND IMPROVE MOOD. PARTNERSHIPS ARE FORMED WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND LITTLE LEAGUE WITH THE SAME GOAL OF INCREASING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. SUPPORTING OUR CHNA, A FOCUS ON CANCER RATES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY LED TO OUR CANCER NAVIGATOR PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS NEEDING TRANSPORTATION TO DOCTOR VISITS AND TREATMENTS AS WELL AS PRESCRIPTION NEEDS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDED FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO A LOCAL NONPROFIT THAT BENEFITS CANCER PATIENTS. WE CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH LOCAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. UNICOI COUNTY FAR EXCEEDS THE STATE AVERAGE IN DRUG DEATHS. |
| GROUP A, FACILITY 7, UNICOI COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 13H | BALLAD HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ALLOWS FOR SOME EXCEPTIONS TO STRICTLY ADHERING TO FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WHEN AWARDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE WEIGHED AND ASSESSED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONSIDERATION ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. ALSO, THERE ARE SOME SERVICES WHERE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE PROVIDED OUTSIDE OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. THESE ARE NOTED IN BALLAD HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. |

| PART I, LINE 3C - OTHER INCOME BASED CRITERIA FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE | FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPROVAL CAN APPLY TO AN ASSORTMENT OF PATIENTS SUCH AS THOSE WHO HAVE EXHAUSTED THEIR TENNCARE/MEDICAID BENEFITS, THOSE WHO QUALIFIED FOR TENNCARE/MEDICAID AFTER THE DATE OF SERVICE, DECEASED PATIENTS WITH NO ESTATE OR ASSETS, UNINSURED PATIENTS, AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. WHILE BALLAD HEALTH'S QUALIFICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED ON FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, ASSET VALUES MAY ALSO BE USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE ASSESSED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. CHARITY APPROVAL COVERS ALL DATES OF SERVICE FOR THE PATIENT WHEN THEY ARE APPROVED AND THERE IS NO LIMITATION OR CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY THAT A PATIENT MAY RECEIVE. BALLAD HEALTH HOSPITALS DO NOT STOP APPROVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR PATIENT ACCOUNTS IF A HOSPITAL'S CHARITY WRITE-OFFS EXCEED THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY BUDGET. OUR HOSPITALS' CHARITY WRITE-OFFS EXCEEDED BUDGET BY 8,735,103 THIS YEAR. ALL BALLAD HEALTH HOSPITALS PROVIDE AN UNINSURED DISCOUNT; THE CURRENT UNINSURED DISCOUNT IS 80% WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS THAT PROVIDE 58%. IN ADDITION TO THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT, MANY PATIENTS WILL FURTHER QUALIFY FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALL PATIENTS SEEKING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MUST SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SUBMIT DOCUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE INFORMATION ON THE APPLICATION, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED ACCORDING TO OUR POLICY GUIDELINES. MEDICAID ELIGIBLE PATIENTS WILL QUALIFY FOR 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND NOT BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION WHEN: A) MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS ARE MET AFTER THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED, B) NON- COVERED CHARGES OCCUR ON A MEDICAID ELIGIBLE ENCOUNTER, OR C) BENEFITS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. DECEASED PATIENTS WITH NO ESTATE ALSO QUALIFY FOR 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATIONS MAY BE RETROACTIVE FOR ALL OUTSTANDING BALANCES. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS WITH SPECIAL DISCOUNTS SUCH AS LACTATION CONSULTATION SERVICES; ONCOLOGY TREATMENT REGIMENS; ENROLLMENT IN VARIOUS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FILLED POST-DISCHARGE. |
| PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION | THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO (WORKSHEET 2 "RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES") WAS USED TO CALCULATE LINE 7A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CHARITY CARE) COST. OUR COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE LOSSES FROM TENNCARE AND MEDICAID REPORTED ON LINE 7B, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HOME HEALTH, A SMALL PHYSICIAN CLINIC AND UCMH - WE USED THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR THEIR DATA BECAUSE THESE ARE SMALLER DIVISIONS NOT AVAILABLE IN OUR COST ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE. LINE 7E COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT INCLUDES COSTS THAT ARE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM DEPARTMENTAL OPERATING REPORTS OR EXPENSES SPECIFIC TO A COMMUNITY HEALTH EVENT, WITH NO ADDITIONAL OVERHEAD INCLUDED IN THE COST. LINE 7F HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION IS COMPRISED OF INTERNSHIPS (PRIMARILY INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENTS, NURSING, PHARMACY, AND THERAPY STUDENTS) WITH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES, ALLOWING THEIR HEALTH PROFESSION STUDENTS TO GET HANDS-ON TRAINING IN A HOSPITAL SETTING. OUR MEDICARE-APPROVED PROGRAMS INCLUDE MEDICAL RESIDENTS, PHARMACY AND PASTORAL CARE AT JCMC AND IPMC AND A CERTIFIED NURSE ASSISTANT PROGRAM AT UCMH. FOR THESE PROGRAMS, MEDICARE-APPROVED COSTS AND MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT COMES FROM FILED MEDICARE COST REPORTS. OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (OD) MAINTAINS RECORDS FOR THE NON-MEDICARE PROGRAMS. OD KEEPS RECORDS OF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS RECEIVING TRAINING AT OUR HOSPITALS AND THE AMOUNT OF HOURS THE STUDENTS SPEND AT OUR HOSPITALS. HOURS MAY DIFFER BASED ON THE SCHOOL AND THE TYPE OF PROGRAM (RN, RADIOLOGY, LAB, ETC.). THE NUMBER OF TEAM MEMBERS THAT PROVIDE TRAINING TO STUDENTS WILL ALSO VARY BASED ON WHERE THE STUDENT IS TRAINING. FOR EXAMPLE, AN RN TRAINER ON A MEDICAL FLOOR MAY HAVE 3 OR 4 STUDENTS UNDER HER/HIS DIRECTION, WHILE AN RN TRAINER IN A SPECIALTY AREA SUCH AS ICU OR THE ER MAY BE TRAINING ONE-ON-ONE WITH A SINGLE STUDENT. WE ONLY INCLUDE LABOR COSTS FOR OUR HOSPITAL TEAM MEMBERS THAT PROVIDE TRAINING (I.E. NO OVERHEAD IS APPLIED) AND WE ONLY ATTRIBUTE A PERCENTAGE OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS' TIME TO ACTUAL TRAINING. FOR LINE 7G SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE SERVICES, WE USE OUR COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM BECAUSE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED, STANDARD COSTING REPORTS FOR THESE SERVICES. THERE ARE THREE EXCEPTIONS WHERE WE DO NOT USE OUR COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. WE HAVE A SMALL CLINIC INSIDE JCCH, A FEDERALLY DESIGNATED CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL. JCCH SUBSIDIZES THE CLINIC AND WE USE THE CLINIC'S DEPARTMENTAL OPERATING REPORT TO COMPUTE THE CLINIC'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT (21,070). THE SECOND EXCEPTION IS A PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM. FOR THIS PROGRAM, WE USE THE DEPARTMENT'S OPERATING REPORT. THE THIRD EXCEPTION RELATES TO LOW-DOSE CT SCANS FOR LUNG CANCER. PATIENT CHARGES FOR THIS SCREENING EVENT WERE WRITTEN-OFF AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT (NOT AS CHARITY). WE USED THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO DETERMINE THE COST OF THE FREE SCANS. THE SCANS WERE PERFORMED IN SUPPORT OF OUR CANCER CHNA PRIORITY. WE ARE CAREFUL TO ENSURE NO DOUBLE COUNTING OF COST (FOR EXAMPLE, WE DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY OR TENNCARE/MEDICAID ALREADY REPORTED ON LINES 7A AND 7B). AND, PURSUANT TO IRS INSTRUCTIONS, WE DO NOT INCLUDE BAD DEBT LOSSES. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE MANY SERVICE LINES WITHIN OUR HOSPITALS THAT LOSE MONEY, WE DO NOT REPORT SERVICES THAT HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED BY STATE LICENSURE TO PROVIDE, ROUTINE SERVICES, OR ANCILLARY SERVICES. LINE 7H RESEARCH IS REPORTED USING THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT'S ACTUAL EXPENSES AND NO OVERHEAD PROVISION IS INCLUDED. LINE 7I CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS INCLUDE CASH DISBURSEMENTS AND IN-KIND DONATIONS OF MEDICATIONS TO LOCAL NONPROFIT RESCUE SQUADS AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. IN-KIND DONATIONS OF MEDICATIONS ARE BASED ON OUR ACTUAL COST FOR THESE ITEMS. |
| PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES | MSHA LEADERS SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE ALL TEAM MEMBERS TO VOLUNTEER TIME, MONEY AND SKILLS TO COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. SENIOR LEADERS AND BOARD MEMBERS SET A POSITIVE EXAMPLE FOR MSHA TEAM MEMBERS, SERVING VOLUNTARILY ON COMMITTEES AND BOARDS OF LOCAL SERVICE AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. SOME ALSO SERVE AS MEMBERS AND CONSULTANTS ON PROFESSIONAL COMMITTEES AND TASK FORCES THAT AFFECT REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION. WE DO NOT CAPTURE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH TEAM MEMBERS THAT SERVE ON OTHER NONPROFIT BOARDS OR PROVIDE SERVICES TO OTHER NONPROFITS. COMMUNITY BUILDING REPORTED ON THIS RETURN INCLUDES CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO NONPROFITS DIRECTED TO PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES, MENTORING PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN, TUTORING FOR ADULTS TO IMPROVE LITERACY SKILLS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, AND OTHER PROGRAMS SPECIFIC TO CHILDREN. MSHA, IN COLLABORATION WITH AREA HEALTH AGENCIES AND PROVIDERS, MAY OFFER ASSISTANCE WITH COORDINATION, ADVOCACY, PROVIDE SPACE, OR CONTRIBUTE SUPPLIES TO SUPPORT GROUPS FOR THEIR PROGRAM ACTIVITIES THAT SERVE TO ASSIST SPECIAL POPULATIONS WITHIN OUR AREA. MOST OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS WORK TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT HAVE LIMITED, OR NO, FINANCIAL RESOURCES. |
| PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY | SELF-PAY BALANCES INCLUDE ACCOUNTS AFTER PAYMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS (DISCOUNTS) HAVE BEEN APPLIED FROM ALL THIRD-PARTY PAYERS SUCH AS MEDICARE, TENNCARE, COMMERCIAL INSURERS, AND OTHERS - GENERALLY LEAVING THE PATIENT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REMAINING DEDUCTIBLE AND/OR CO-PAYMENT. OTHER SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS ARE FROM PATIENTS WITH NO INSURANCE OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE. UNDER BALLAD HEALTH'S SELF-PAY POLICY, ANY PATIENT WHO HAS NO INSURANCE AND IS INELIGIBLE FOR ANY GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RECEIVED A 71% DISCOUNT UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2018, AT WHICH TIME THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT INCREASED TO 80%. MANY SELF-PAY PATIENTS WILL FURTHER QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS CHARITY CARE) IF THEY PROVIDE THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION WE NEED TO DEEM THEM ELIGIBLE. AFTER THE NORMAL COLLECTION PROCESS HAS INDICATED AN ACCOUNT IS UNCOLLECTIBLE, MSHA WRITES THE ACCOUNT OFF TO BAD DEBT. THE HOSPITAL'S OVERALL SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BALANCE IS EVALUATED ON AN ONGOING BASIS TO EVALUATE THE AGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, HISTORICAL WRITE-OFFS AND RECOVERIES AND ANY UNUSUAL INSTANCES (SUCH AS LOCAL, REGIONAL OR NATIONAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS) WHICH AFFECT THE COLLECTIVITY OF RECEIVABLES. |
| PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE | OUR PRIMARY EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY ESTIMATES THAT 38% OF MSHA'S BAD DEBT WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF PATIENTS HAD PROVIDED OUR HOSPITALS WITH A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION. THE AGENCY BASED THEIR LIKELY ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY ASSUMPTION ON INDIVIDUALS WITH A LOW SCORE. AN INDIVIDUAL'S SCORE IS BASED ON AN ALGORITHM THAT INCLUDES DATA POINTS SUCH AS FICO CREDIT SCORE, PROPERTY VALUE, YEARS AT CURRENT RESIDENCE, NUMBER OF TIMES AN INDIVIDUAL HAS MOVED AND AN INDIVIDUAL'S PROPENSITY TO PAY SCORE. JUST UNDER 83% OF COMPLETED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS PROCESSED DURING FY18 RECEIVED A FULL DISCOUNT (COMPLETE WRITE-OFF). AN ADDITIONAL 12% RECEIVED A PARTIAL DISCOUNT, RESULTING IN AN OVERALL APPROVAL RATE OF 95% FOR COMPLETED APPLICATIONS. THEREFORE, ONLY 5% OF COMPLETED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS WERE DENIED. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY PATIENTS EITHER DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR DO NOT PROVIDE A COMPLETE APPLICATION. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS ARE RETURNED TO PATIENTS ALONG WITH A NOTICE OF MISSING INFORMATION. THE NOTICE ALSO PROVIDES A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER PATIENTS MAY CALL FOR ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING THE APPLICATION. ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS RECEIVE FOLLOW UP CALLS EVERY 21 DAYS FROM A COMPANY MSHA PAYS TO PROCESS CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS AND TO OFFER PATIENTS ENROLLMENT ASSISTANCE IN TENNCARE (TN) OR MEDICAID (VA). OUR FINANCIAL COUNSELORS FOLLOW UP WITH PATIENTS THAT HAVE A BALANCE AFTER INSURANCE HAS PAID. WE HAVE MANY INSTANCES OF PATIENTS WITH LARGE ACCOUNT BALANCES AND NO HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE THAT WE BELIEVE WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALTHOUGH PATIENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE, MANY WILL NOT DO SO. MSHA WOULD PREFER FOR PATIENTS TO SUBMIT COMPLETED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS GIVEN THAT HISTORICAL DATA CLEARLY INDICATES THAT MOST UNINSURED PATIENTS AND MANY UNDERINSURED WILL QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR PROGRAM. WITHOUT A COMPLETED APPLICATION, WE HAVE NO CHOICE OTHER THAN TO RECORD AN UNPAID ACCOUNT AS BAD DEBT INSTEAD OF CHARITY CARE. |
| BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | BALLAD HEALTH'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE A FOOTNOTE ON PAGES 13-14 THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT. MSHA IS INCLUDED IN THE JUNE 30, 2018 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BALLAD HEALTH. THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE FOR THE FIVE MONTHS ENDING AFTER THE FEBRUARY 1, 2018 MERGER OF MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE AND WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM (ATTACHED). |
| PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION | MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE REPORTED USING MSHA'S FILED MEDICARE COST REPORTS (C/R). THE C/R USES A COST TO CHARGE RATIO BASED ON A STEP-DOWN ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY. IN CARING FOR THE PATIENT, THERE ARE SEVERAL SERVICES THAT ARE CONSIDERED NON-ALLOWABLE SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION OF A PATIENT AND COMFORT ITEMS THAT INCLUDE A TELEVISION AND A TELEPHONE. THE RECRUITMENT OF PHYSICIANS ARE NON-ALLOWED COSTS BY THE MEDICARE PROGRAM EVEN THOUGH PHYSICIANS ARE RECRUITED BASED ON DOCUMENTED COMMUNITY NEED AND TO FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS. A PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CARE OF THE PATIENT IS NOT AN ALLOWED COST BY MEDICARE, LEAVING THE HOSPITAL TO ABSORB THE LOSS. MEDICARE LOSSES, INCLUDING SOME NON-ALLOWABLE COSTS SUCH AS THOSE NOTED ABOVE, SHOULD BE COUNTED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS THIS IS THE COST OF CARE FOR SERVING THE AGING POPULATION. WHILE WE AGREE THAT COSTS SUCH AS MARKETING TO ATTRACT PATIENTS AND LOBBYING ARE REASONABLE TO EXCLUDE, IT DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE TO EXCLUDE RECRUITMENT OF PHYSICIANS AND BASIC ITEMS SUCH AS A TELEVISION AND PHONE IN PATIENT ROOMS. WE BELIEVE MEDICARE LOSSES SHOULD BE ALLOWED AS A REPORTABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT, SIMILAR TO GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAID. AS A PARTICIPATING PROVIDER IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE FULL REGIMEN OF CARE FOR THE MEDICARE POPULATION. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CARE REGIMENS THAT ARE COMPENSATED BY THE MEDICARE PROGRAM AT LEVELS BELOW COST. THEREFORE, IT IS ONLY LOGICAL TO ALLOW HOSPITALS TO REPORT THESE UNCOMPENSATED SERVICES AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BY MAKING THIS CHANGE, NONPROFIT PROVIDERS WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE IMPORTANT CARE DELIVERY MODELS FOR OUR AGING POPULATION IN SPITE OF THE FACT IT MAY BE ECONOMICALLY INJURIOUS. PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION REQUESTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE EVALUATED USING ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES, WHILE ALLOWING FOR UNIQUE FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES - FOR EXAMPLE, MEDICALLY INDIGENT PATIENTS WITH CATASTROPHIC MEDICAL COSTS THAT WOULD THREATEN THE PATIENT'S HOUSEHOLD FINANCIAL VIABILITY. WHEN A PATIENT REQUESTS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR WHEN AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED, THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT IS PLACED IN A HOLD STATUS TO PREVENT FURTHER COLLECTION ACTIVITIES UNTIL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED. ALL BALLAD HEALTH HOSPITALS COMPLY WITH IRS 501(R) REGULATORY GUIDELINES. OUR COLLECTION POLICY CLEARLY STATES THAT ALL PATIENTS ARE TREATED EQUALLY - WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT. WE ENSURE THAT OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCIES USED BY OUR HOSPITALS ADHERE TO OUR BILLING AND COLLECTION GUIDELINES. OUR HOSPITALS' COLLECTION PROGRAM INCLUDES COMMUNICATING EXPECTED FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PRIOR TO SERVICE. OUR HOSPITALS PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO HELP UNDERINSURED AND UNINSURED PATIENTS DETERMINE SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR MEDICAL BILLS AND TO HELP PATIENTS DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR PROGRAMS SUCH AS TENNCARE OR MEDICAID. AFTER INSURANCE BENEFIT VERIFICATION, OUR HOSPITALS BILL INSURANCE CARRIERS. IF THE INSURANCE CARRIER DENIES PAYMENT OF THE SERVICE/PROCEDURE AS NON-COVERED OR THE PATIENT HAS EXCEEDED THEIR MAXIMUM BENEFITS, THE SERVICE/PROCEDURE WILL QUALIFY FOR THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT. FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. OUR HOSPITALS PROVIDE A NUMBER OF PAYMENT OPTIONS: - A PRE-SERVICE DISCOUNT MAY BE OFFERED - A DISCOUNT IN EXCESS OF ESTABLISHED DISCOUNTING RATES MAY BE GRANTED FOR CATASTROPHIC HIGH DOLLAR ACCOUNTS - OUR HOSPITALS ACCEPT ALL NON-CONTRACTED AND OUT-OF-NETWORK PAYERS AND WILL MAKE ATTEMPTS TO WORK WITH THESE PAYERS REGARDING APPROPRIATE REIMBURSEMENT AND BILLING TO THEIR MEMBERS - PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE SO LONG AS THE ACCOUNT IS NOT WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY REASONABLE EFFORTS ARE MADE TO DETERMINE IF A PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE - SEE SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3 FOR INFORMATION ON HOW PATIENTS ARE INFORMED ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. |
| PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT | FOCUSING ON 25 ACTIVE POPULATION HEALTH INDEX MEASURES ALLOWS BALLAD HEALTH TO FURTHER ENGAGE THE EFFORTS OF ITS HOSPITALS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITIES IN OUR SERVICE AREAS. IT HAS HELPED BALLAD TO BETTER IDENTIFY HEALTH DISPARITIES THAT APPEAR ACROSS THE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITIES AND HAS HELPED BALLAD TO PRIORITIZE ISSUES THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT IN EACH HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY. ENGAGING LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WILL EXPAND PARTNERSHIPS SO THAT ORGANIZATIONS WORK TOGETHER MORE TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. BALLAD HEALTH DEVELOPED A COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS TO GATHER INPUT FOR AND DRAFT A POPULATION HEALTH PLAN DURING FY18. AN EXECUTIVE STEERING TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED, AIDED BY NATIONAL EXPERTS WITH EXPERIENCE IN LARGE-SCALE POPULATION HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. BECAUSE OUR HOSPITALS ARE LOCATED IN A REGION WITH MANY CHRONIC DISEASE CHALLENGES, BALLAD HEALTH'S GOAL IS TO TARGET POPULATION HEALTH ISSUES TO MAKE LASTING IMPROVEMENTS. BALLAD CONDUCTED APPROXIMATELY 150 INTERVIEWS AND HELD 40 MEETINGS WITH EXTERNAL GROUPS, INCLUDING THE REGIONAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, UNITED WAY AGENCIES, CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, THE REGIONAL ACCOUNTABLE CARE COMMUNITY STEERING COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS INTERNAL GROUPS SUCH AS OUR POPULATION HEALTH AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY COMMITTEE OF THE BALLAD HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE BALLAD HEALTH POPULATION HEALTH CLINICAL COMMITTEE, AND OUR HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BOARDS. |
| PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE | BALLAD HEALTH COMMUNICATES WITH AND PROVIDES EDUCATION TO OUR PATIENTS THROUGH VARIOUS AVENUES REGARDING GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL AND APPLICATION DOCUMENTS RELATED TO OBTAINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE AND ALL DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE BALLAD HEALTH WEBSITE. PRINTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS ARE PART OF EACH REGISTRATION PACKET AND POSTERS ARE DISPLAYED IN HIGHLY VISIBLE AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL. OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND ADMITTING AREAS. WE ARE ALSO HAPPY TO MAIL ALL DOCUMENTS TO PATIENTS. WE OFFER A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY AND ALL OF OUR DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE DURING PRE-REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION AND/OR DURING FINANCIAL COUNSELING. WE OFFER GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY REPRESENTATIVES TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN SECURING ELIGIBILITY FOR TENNCARE OR MEDICAID, FEDERAL DISABILITY AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. ADDITIONALLY, IF A PATIENT OR COMMUNITY RESIDENT EXPRESSES AN INTEREST IN THE ACA-HEALTHCARE EXCHANGE, OUR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE TO ASSIST THEM THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS. OUR FINANCIAL COUNSELORS OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS TO PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR SOME OR ALL OF THEIR HEALTHCARE. ALL PATIENT BILLING STATEMENTS HAVE VERBIAGE DISCUSSING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ALONG WITH CONTACT INFORMATION. OUR LAST LETTER TO THE PATIENT DISPLAYS THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY. IN ALL ORAL CORRESPONDENCES WITH A PATIENT, IF IT IS IDENTIFIED THE PATIENT CANNOT MEET PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS ON THEIR ACCOUNT, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS DISCUSSED AS AN OPTION. APPLICANTS ARE NOTIFIED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATION IN WRITING. |
| PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION | MSHA SERVES THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF 29 APPALACHIAN COUNTIES IN TENNESSEE, SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, AND NORTH CAROLINA. ALL OF THE COUNTIES MSHA SERVES ARE FEDERALLY DESIGNATED AS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS. MSHA'S LARGEST HOSPITAL, JOHNSON CITY MEDICAL CENTER, IS A TERTIARY REFERRAL CENTER AND LEVEL ONE TRAUMA CENTER. ALL OF MSHA'S WHOLLY OWNED HOSPITALS ARE LOCATED IN FEDERALLY DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS. OUR HOSPITALS' INPATIENT DISCHARGES DURING FY18, TRACKED BY ZIP CODE, INDICATE A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED RANGE FROM 89.2% (RUSSELL COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER) TO 100% (JOHNSON COUNTY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL). MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS ARE DESIGNATED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. SHORTAGE AREAS ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH ANALYSIS OF PHYSICIAN TO POPULATION RATIOS DEPENDING ON WHETHER AN AREA IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE A HIGH NEED. CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE HIGH NEED ARE POVERTY RATES, THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION OVER AGE 65, INFANT MORTALITY RATES AND FERTILITY RATES. MSHA OPERATES 2 CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS: WHOLLY-OWNED JOHNSON COUNTY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (JCCH) IN TENNESSEE AND MAJORITY-OWNED DICKENSON COUNTY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IN VIRGINIA. MANY RURAL RESIDENTS MUST TRAVEL A GREATER DISTANCE TO ACCESS DIFFERENT POINTS OF THE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC DISTANCE, SOMETIMES EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS, LACK OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND CHALLENGING ROADS, RURAL RESIDENTS MAY BE LIMITED, AND IN SOME INSTANCES, EVEN PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING HEALTH CARE SERVICES. ALTHOUGH 19% OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S. LIVE IN RURAL AREAS AND 30% OF THE VECHICLE MILES TRAVELED OCCUR IN RURAL AREAS, ALMOST HALF OF CRASH DEATHS OCCUR THERE. WITHIN OUR COUNTIES IN MSHA'S SERVICE AREA, UNINTENTIONAL INJURY DEATHS ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN THE STATEWIDE RATES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN TENNESSEE, THE UNICOI COUNTY RATE IS 23% HIGHER AND JOHNSON COUNTY RATE IS 15% HIGHER. IN VIRGINIA, RUSSELL COUNTY'S RATE IS 54% HIGHER THAN THE STATEWIDE RATE. A CDC (CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION) STUDY DEMONSTRATED THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN HEALTH BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN AMERICANS. THE CDC NOTED THAT DEMOGRAPHIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL FACTORS MAY PUT RURAL RESIDENTS AT HIGHER RISK OF DEATH. RESIDENTS IN RURAL AREAS TEND TO BE OLDER AND SICKER THAN THEIR URBAN COUNTERPARTS. THEY HAVE HIGHER RATES OF CIGARETTE SMOKING, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND OBESITY. RURAL RESIDENTS ALSO REPORT LESS LEISURE-TIME PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND LOWER SEATBELT USE. THEY HAVE HIGHER RATES OF POVERTY, LESS ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, AND ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. THE CDC STUDY FOUND THAT UNINTENTIONAL INJURY DEATHS WERE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER IN RURAL AREAS, PARTLY DUE TO A GREATER RISK OF MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES AND OPIOID OVERDOSES. THE CDC BELIEVES THE GAPS IN HEALTH BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN CAN BE ADDRESSED BY: -SCREENING PATIENTS FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE -INCREASING CANCER PREVENTION AND EARLY DETECTION -ENCOURAGING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTHY EATING -PROMOTING SMOKING CESSATION - CIGARETTE SMOKING IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF PREVENTABLE DISEASE DEATH IN THE U.S. -PROMOTING MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY -ENGAGING PROVIDERS IN SAFER PRESCRIBING OF OPIOIDS FOR PAIN AND EDUCATING CITIZENS ON THE RISKS OF OPIOIDS WHILE OUR AREA HAS GENERALLY UNFAVORABLE HEALTH STATISTICS, THERE ARE FAR FEWER PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS PER RESIDENT IN SOME OF OUR COUNTIES THAN THE STATE'S AVERAGE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN CARTER COUNTY, OUR RATIO OF POPULATION TO PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS IS 79% HIGHER THAN THE STATE'S AVERAGE AND UNICOI'S RATIO IS 85% HIGHER. BOTH OF THESE COUNTIES ARE MORE THAN DOUBLE THE RATIO OF U.S. TOP PERFORMERS ACCORDING TO THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION'S COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS. RECRUITING PHYSICIANS TO RURAL AREAS IS OFTEN CHALLENGING DUE TO A MYRIAD OF FACTORS, SUCH AS GEOGRAPHY, ECONOMICS, CULTURE AND EDUCATION. GEOGRAPHICALLY, RURAL COMMUNITIES ARE OFTEN FAR REMOVED FROM SUBURBAN AND URBAN CENTERS THAT PROVIDE ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. THESE LIMITATIONS INFLUENCE THE RELOCATION DECISION OF THE PHYSICIAN CANDIDATE AND HIS/HER SPOUSE/CHILDREN TO LOCATE TO A RURAL AREA. A NUMBER OF FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO A UNIQUE AND CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT THAT INFLUENCE THE OVERALL HEALTH STANDING FOR COUNTIES INCLUDED IN THE MSHA SERVICE AREA. OBESITY INCREASES THE RISK FOR MANY HEALTH CONDITIONS SUCH AS CORONARY HEART DISEASE, TYPE 2 DIABETES, HYPERTENSION, STROKE, CANCER, SLEEP APNEA AND RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, AND OSTEOARTHRITIS. EVIDENCE INDICATES PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, INDEPENDENT OF ITS EFFECT ON WEIGHT, HAS SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS FOR HEALTH. RELATIVE TO OBESITY AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS, MANY OF OUR COUNTIES HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF OBESITY COMBINED WITH HIGH LEVELS OF PHYSICAL INACTIVITY AS SHOWN BELOW. -THE PERCENTAGES OF ADULT OBESITY: JOHNSON COUNTY 30%, UNICOI COUNTY 35%, CARTER COUNTY 35%, SULLIVAN COUNTY 32% AND RUSSELL COUNTY 30%. THE ADULT OBESITY RATE FOR U.S. TOP PERFORMERS IS 26% ACCORDING TO THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION'S COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS. -THE PERCENTAGES OF PHYSICAL INACTIVITY: CARTER COUNTY 33%, SULLIVAN COUNTY 31%, UNICOI COUNTY 30%, JOHNSON COUNTY 35%, AND RUSSELL COUNTY 29%. THE PHYSICAL INACTIVITY RATE FOR U.S. TOP PERFORMERS IS 20% ACCORDING TO THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION'S COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS. THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE POPULATION IN MSHA'S SERVICE AREA IS GENERALLY POOR. OUR SERVICE AREA EXTENDS TO SOME OF THE POOREST RURAL COUNTIES IN THE REGION WITH A POVERTY RATE OF ALMOST 30% IN SOME AREAS. THE CENSUS BUREAU ESTIMATES COUNTY MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES ARE: JOHNSON COUNTY - 32,994; CARTER COUNTY - 34,625 AND UNICOI COUNTY - 36,576, AVERAGING APPROXIMATELY 29% BELOW THE STATE OF TENNESSEE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME. SOME OF THE MOST WELL-OFF COUNTIES IN MSHA'S SERVICE AREA STILL HAVE A MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. FOR INSTANCE, WASHINGTON COUNTY'S MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS 10.3% BELOW THE STATE OF TENNESSEE'S AND SULLIVAN COUNTY'S IS 15.3% BELOW. CHILDREN IN POVERTY IN SOME AREAS EXCEEDS 30%. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY IN JOHNSON COUNTY IS 33%, CARTER COUNTY IS 30%, UNICOI COUNTY IS 27% AND RUSSELL COUNTY IS 24%. THE LATEST CENSUS BUREAU DATA ESTIMATES THE MEDIAN AGE OF RESIDENTS OF UNICOI COUNTY IS 45.9, JOHNSON COUNTY IS 45.7, AND CARTER COUNTY IS 44.4, ALL SIGNIFICANTLY OLDER THAN THE MEDIAN AGE OF 38.6 IN TENNESSEE. ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE A LARGE ELDERLY POPULATION, FAR EXCEEDING THAT OF THE COUNTRY. PERSONS 65 YEARS AND OLDER IN THE COUNTIES MSHA'S HOSPITALS ARE LOCATED IN RANGE FROM 17.6% TO 22.7% COMPARED TO 15.4% FOR THE U.S. |
| PART VI, LINE 5 - PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH | MSHA IS DEDICATED TO OPERATING EFFICIENTLY SO THAT WASTE IS MINIMIZED. MSHA'S LEADERSHIP REMAINS MINDFUL OF MANAGING THE ALLIANCE'S LIMITED RESOURCES SO THAT ADEQUATE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE CARE OF OUR PATIENTS. SURPLUS FUNDS ARE INVESTED INTO IMPROVING TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR OUR PATIENTS THROUGH NEW TECHNOLOGIES, RECRUITING PHYSICIANS AND TRAINED STAFF IN SHORTAGE AREAS, AND IMPROVING OUR FACILITIES. VARIOUS CHECKS AND BALANCES ARE ESTABLISHED TO ENSURE THAT EXPENDITURES FOR OPERATING EXPENSES AND CAPITAL COSTS ARE REASONABLE AND NECESSARY. MSHA HAS SEVERAL HOSPITALS WITH MEDICARE-APPROVED HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, OUR HOSPITALS SERVE AS TRAINING SITES FOR MANY TYPES OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS: NURSING, PHARMACY, PSYCHOLOGY, LAB, RESPIRATORY THERAPY, EMT, PUBLIC HEALTH, ETC. STUDENTS FROM NUMEROUS COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, AND PROGRAMS RECEIVE TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE IN OUR HOSPITALS. WE DEVOTE RESOURCES TO HEALTH CONFERENCES FOR LOCAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, OPERATE TWO HEALTH RESOURCE CENTERS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED IN A SHOPPING MALL AND OUR WELLNESS CENTER; PROVIDE FOR MEDIA COVERAGE TO EDUCATE OUR RESIDENTS ON HEALTH ISSUES; OFFER EVENTS TO THE PUBLIC THAT COMBINE FUN ACTIVITIES WITH HEALTH EDUCATION; AND MANY OTHER PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF OUR RESIDENTS. WHILE WE OPERATE HOSPITALS IN PREDOMINANTLY LOW-INCOME, RURAL AND ISOLATED AREAS, WE CONTINUE TO OFFER SERVICES THAT OPERATE AT A LOSS TO MSHA BECAUSE RESIDENTS WOULD OTHERWISE NEED TO LEAVE THEIR HOME TOWN OR COUNTY TO RECEIVE NEEDED CARE. MOUNTAIN STATES MERGED WITH WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM IN FEBRUARY 2018 TO FORM BALLAD HEALTH HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, BALLAD HEALTH'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS ASSUMED BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES FOR BOTH MOUNTAIN STATES AND WELLMONT. MOUNTAIN STATES AND WELLMONT STILL EXIST AS LEGAL ENTITIES AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE MULTIPLE HOSPITALS. MSHA'S GOVERNING BODY IS COMPRISED OF PERSONS WHO RESIDE IN THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREAS. PHYSICIANS THAT REQUEST PRIVILEGES WHO ARE QUALIFIED AND CREDENTIALED ARE EXTENDED PRIVILEGES BY MSHA. |
| PART VI, LINE 6 - AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM | AS NOTED EARLIER, MSHA MERGED WITH WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM (WHS) TO FORM BALLAD HEALTH. BALLAD HEALTH IS THE PARENT COMPANY, SOLE MEMBER OF BOTH MSHA AND WHS. FOLLOWING THE MERGER, MSHA AND WHS CONTINUE TO EXIST AS SEPARATE LEGAL ENTITIES, EACH OPERATING MULTIPLE HOSPITALS. MOUNTAIN STATE'S MERGER WITH WELLMONT OPENS UP MANY OPPORTUNITIES NOT PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE TO TWO COMPETING HEALTH SYSTEMS. COLLABORATION STARTED POST-MERGER AND WE EXPECT TO SEE FUTURE PROGRESS TOWARDS IMPROVING EFFICIENCIES WITHIN OUR NEW HEALTH SYSTEM, ACTIVITIES CONSISTENT WITH BALLAD HEALTH'S POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVE, SHARING BEST PRACTICE QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS, AND OTHER BENEFITS RELATED TO OPERATING AS ONE RATHER THAN OPERATING IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT. A NEW CLINICAL COUNCIL WAS FORMED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE MERGER. THE COUNCIL INCLUDES PHYSICIANS NOMINATED FROM THE LEADERSHIP OF ALL BALLAD HOSPITALS. NEAR THE END OF FY18, THE COUNCIL EMBARKED ON A CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE HOSPITAL ACQUIRED C. DIFF BY 30%, WITH AN ULTIMATE GOAL OF ZERO C. DIFF INFECTIONS.

COMMENT ON PART I, LINE A. IN 2012, WHEN THE BONDS REFERENCED IN SCHEDULE K WERE ISSUED, MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE OWNED AND/OR OPERATED HOSPITALS IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LOCATIONS BOTH IN TENNESSEE AND IN VIRGINIA. AS A RESULT, MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE UTILIZED CONDUIT GOVERNMENTAL BOND ISSUERS IN MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS IN ORDER TO FINANCE IMPROVEMENTS TO ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES. IN 2012, MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE WAS THE CONDUIT BORROWER OF TAX-EXEMPT BONDS ISSUED BY MULTIPLE ISSUERS IN TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA. FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES, EVEN THOUGH DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT ISSUERS WERE INVOLVED, THESE MULTIPLE ISSUES IN EACH YEAR WERE REQUIRED TO BE TREATED, AND WERE TREATED, AS A SINGLE "ISSUE" BECAUSE THEY MET THE SINGLE "ISSUE" TEST UNDER THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL TAX REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, MULTIPLE ISSUERS ARE LISTED UNDER LINE A BECAUSE THE BONDS THAT WERE ISSUED WERE PART OF A SINGLE "ISSUE" FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES.

LINE 3 FOR THE LISTED BOND ISSUES DOES NOT MATCH THE APPLICABLE ISSUE PRICE FOR SUCH BOND ISSUE BECAUSE OF INTEREST EARNINGS EARNED ON THE PROCEEDS OF SUCH BONDS. 3. SCHEDULE K, PART II, LINES 10-12. THE USES OF PROCEEDS LISTED IN LINES 10-12 OF PART II ARE NOT EQUAL TO THE TOTAL PROCEEDS OF THE ISSUE LISTED IN PART II, LINE 3 BECAUSE A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE LISTED BOND ISSUE BECAME TRANSFERRED PROCEEDS OF A CURRENT REFUNDING ISSUE OF THE LISTED BOND ISSUE (AND THEREFORE WERE NO LONGER WERE PROCEEDS OF THE LISTED BOND ISSUE). THEREFORE, SUCH TRANSFERRED PROCEEDS WERE NOT SPENT WHILE CONSIDERED PROCEEDS OF THE BONDS, AND ARE THEREFORE NOT INCLUDED ON LINES 10-12. |
