Explanation	ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TO BE USED CONSISTENT WITH INTENT AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM'S PARENT ENTITY IS THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY. AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND JUNE 30, 2016; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE SYSTEMS AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT ADDRESSES THE SYSTEM'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY'S ("TJU'S") ENDOWMENTS CONSIST OF 874 INDIVIDUAL FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF THESE GROUPS OF FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED UPON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. FROM TIME TO TIME, THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH INDIVIDUAL DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS MAY FALL BELOW THE LEVEL THAT THE DONOR REQUIRES TJU TO RETAIN AS A FUND OF PERPETUAL DURATION. SHORTFALLS OF THIS NATURE, WHICH ARE REPORTED IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS, WERE $1.5 MILLION AND $2.4 MILLION AS OF JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016, RESPECTIVELY. THESE SHORTFALLS RESULTED FROM UNFAVORABLE MARKET FLUCTUATIONS THAT OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE INVESTMENT OF NEW PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED CONTRIBUTIONS AND CONTINUED APPROPRIATION FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS THAT WAS DEEMED PRUDENT BY TJU. THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA HAS NOT ADOPTED THE UNIFORM MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UMIFA) OR THE UNIFORM PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UPMIFA). RATHER, THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT GOVERNS THE INVESTMENT, USE AND MANAGEMENT OF TJUS ENDOWMENT FUNDS. THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT ALLOWS A NONPROFIT TO ELECT TO APPROPRIATE FOR EXPENDITURE AN INVESTMENT POLICY THAT SEEKS THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF THE REAL VALUE OF THE INVESTMENTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA ACT, THE OBJECTIVES OF TJUS INVESTMENT POLICY IS TO PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SPENDABLE INCOME WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS OF TJU AND WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOAL OF PROTECTING THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE INVESTMENTS. THE CALCULATION OF THE SPENDABLE INCOME FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS OF TJU IS BASED ON 75% OF THE PRIOR YEAR SPENDABLE INCOME AND 25% OF THE CALCULATED TWO YEAR AVERAGE OF THE ENDOWMENT MARKET VALUE MULTIPLIED BY 4.75% FOR SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS AND 7% FOR NON-SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS; THE SUM OF WHICH IS ADJUSTED BY AN INFLATION FACTOR. THE CALCULATION OF THE SPENDABLE INCOME FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS OF ABINGTON IS BASED ON 5% OF THE CALCULATED THREE YEAR AVERAGE OF THE ENDOWMENT MARKET VALUE.	ExplanationTxt

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5	For the 2016 community health needs assessment ("chna"), the department of treasury and the Internal Revenue Service ("irs") encouraged cross institution collaboration. To that end the healthcare improvement foundation, Philadelphia, pennsylvania, in partnership with the hospital and health system association of pennsylvania and the u.s. department of health and human services (region 3) convened the regions hospitals in the collaborative opportunities to advance community health ("coach") project. The goals of coach are to: gather input from public health authorities and key community stakeholders; explore growing number of health and epidemiologic data sources; and collaborate with public health and other stakeholders to prioritize needs, coordinate interventions, and establish measures for evaluating results. Additionally, the health care improvement foundation began facilitation in fy16 of a Montgomery county hospital partnership. The partnerships role, similar to coach, has an exclusive focus on Montgomery county, pennsylvania, and all hospitals, whether profit or non-profit for involvement. Abington Memorial Hospital ("amh") community health and community benefit leaders worked diligently with the Montgomery county hospital partnership and Jefferson health colleagues, as part of a newly formed organization, to conduct the 2016 chna for Abington health including AMH and Lansdale Hospital Corporation ("LHC"). Community health leaders scheduled meetings, conference calls and follow up conversations, obtained meeting venues, contacted potential participants, and encouraged attendance. Meeting participants were not compensated. Input from all participants, including county and local health department officials and public health experts, was used to further identify and prioritize unmet needs, local problems with access to care and populations with special healthcare needs. Several follow up telephone calls resulted in additional information shared between the non-profit providers and the hospital leaders as the process ensued. Information on the health status and healthcare needs of the residents of AMH's service area was also collected through interviews and meetings and guided by a set of written questions finalized by Abington, Lansdale and Jefferson colleagues in community health and community benefit. Almost 30 interviews were conducted with individuals representing healthcare and community-based organizations who have knowledge of the health and underlying social conditions that affect health of people in their neighborhood and broader community. These interviews were conducted by community health and community benefit leaders to gain insight about health needs and priorities, barriers to improving community health, and the community assets and efforts already in place or being planned to address these issues and concerns. In addition, interviews were conducted with health providers of Abington health to gain their perspective about the health issues of their patients and community and to identify Lansdales and others efforts to address these issues. Interviewees were asked to prioritize the needs/recommendations discussed during their interview. AMH interviews and meetings included: hospital senior leaders, emergency room nursing leadership, corporate departments, population health, women and childrens services, muller institute for senior health staff and human resources and hospitalists to name a few. Community organizations were represented from: Montgomery county health department, Montgomery county intermediate unit, north penn community health foundation leadership, north penn mosque, north penn school district, north penn united way, souderton area school district nurse coordinator, vna foundation of north penn, wissahickon school district nurse coordinator, manna on main street executive director, north penn ymca and Philadelphia freedom valley ymcas of ambler leaders. These individuals and the AMH community leaders saw significant overlap in the discussion of unmet needs and health status and provided a focus for both hospitals.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 6A & 6B	AMH participated in the coach project with LHC and jefferson health given the merger. As part of integration the community health and community benefit leaders of lansdale collaborated with jeffersons center for urban health physician and academic leaders on the chna process for 2016. Coach collaborative participating hospitals included: - abington memorial hospital, now abington hospital-jefferson health - lansdale hospital corporation, now abington-lansdale hospital-jefferson health - aria health - the children's hospital of philadelphia - delaware valley healthcare council of hap - einstein medical center philadelphia - einstein medical center elkins park - einstein medical center montgomery - health care improvement foundation - hospital and health system association of pa - hahnemann university hospital - holy redeemer health system - mercy health system of southeastern pa - mercy fitzgerald hospital - mercy philadelphia hospital - mercy suburban hospital, now prime health - montgomery county health department - temple university health system - jeanes hospital - fox chase cancer center - university of pennsylvania health system - pennsylvania hospital - penn presbyterian medical center - philadelphia department of public health - u.s. department of health and human services, region iii AMH collaborated with the above listed hospitals and health systems, working with jefferson health colleagues and the public health management corporation for household health survey to complete the march 2016 community health needs assessment.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 8	Abington health ("ah") including amh and lhc placed the final 2016 chna on the health systems website to provide access and make widely available. The chna from 2013 continues to be posted. Several requests from local nonprofit organizations seeking a copy of the document were given access via the downloadable document on the website or emailed by ah leaders. In fy16, this process remained in effect. All 2016 chna and implementation plans were shared with all key community stakeholders and participants in interviews and meetings. Teams were formed at ah to coincide with the major topic areas in spring 2016. Action plans or implementation plans were written, adopted and approved by the community benefit committee of the abington health foundation (AHF") board by june 30, 2016. A presentation was made to abingtons legacy board of trustees in april 2016 followed by a presentation to the jefferson health clinical affairs committee. The community health department continues responsibility for the chna and resultant implementation plans to meet community benefit requirements. The strategy of the implementation plans identifies the means through which the hospital plans to address needs that are consistent with the hospitals charitable mission as part of its community benefit programs from 2016 through 2019. Beyond programs discussed in the strategy, the hospital is addressing many of these needs simply by providing care to all, regardless of ability to pay. The hospital anticipates health needs and resources may change, and thus a flexible approach was adopted in the development of its strategy to address needs identified in the 2016 chna. In addition, changes may be warranted by the publication of final regulations. Themes emerged from the chna meetings and were analyzed and coded with all quantitative data. Recognition of themes were discussed and the resulting analysis in the community health needs assessment was organized into major topic or domain areas. Overall, the health of the populations served in the lhc service area is good, ranking higher than the montgomery county and pennsylvania state populations as a whole. Ah's access to care ip/action plan was reviewed immediately with several enhancements introduced. A thorough review of the policy and procedures for financial assistance took place in accordance with internal revenue code 501(r). In fy16 ah continued with a financial counseling center centralizing this function to better accommodate patients and the community. Services onsite at lansdale hospital corporation include a financial counselor to help determine eligibility for government-sponsored programs, and offer assistance with the health insurance exchange and other insurance coverage. A printed financial assistance brochure was created and distributed at ah access points, including clinics, outpatient areas, emergency department at lansdale hospital corporation and primary care offices. Overview of implementation strategy includes: Prioritization was placed into the chna to maximize the resources available to the hospital using domains. The strategy will focus on the priority health needs that are most important in the domain of access to care: mental health services, access to care and healthy lifestyle behaviors especially for social and healthcare needs of older adults and health education, social services and regular source of care. In the chronic disease management domain, most important was obesity followed by diabetes, heart disease and hypertension, stroke and asthma. Healthy lifestyle behaviors and community environment domain includes alcohol/substance abuse and womens cancer. The domain of health screening and early detection includes colon cancer. AMH will continue collaboration regionally with other hospitals and health systems within bucks and montgomery counties through partnerships, cooperation, and coordination on public health issues.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11	The most recent, required chna was completed in march 2016. To address the needs identified in the 2016 chna process, the health system convened 7 community benefit action teams consisting of key community stakeholders and ah administrative and clinical leaders to develop and implement goals and action plans or implementation plans. Leaders of these teams will report on progress quarterly through reports shared with the community benefit committee of the ahf board. The health system will not directly focus on youth health behaviors, medication access, community safety, transportation, or the built and natural environment needs identified as "important or less important" in the 2016 chna. Those priorities are beyond the scope of ah and are being addressed by other community based and government organizations. Ah will collaborate with groups of experts in these areas to foster appropriate and safe referrals and identify opportunities for partnership and inclusion in community benefit initiatives. Hospitals are not required to, nor can they meet all unmet needs in the community. Any unmet needs not addressed by the approved implementation plans are already being addressed in the service area by the hospital, other healthcare providers, government, and local non-profit organizations. Our priority unmet needs in the implementation plans are integral to our community benefit strategy. Abington health leaders continue to monitor new program development and services with collaborative partners, including coach and the montgomery county hospital partnership.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	Income based criteria used to determine eligibility for charity care. Household income up to 299% of fpg will receive a 100% discount. Discounted care is a sliding scale starting at household income above 300% up to a maximum of 600% of the fpg.
SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A	The organization's community benefit report is in a report prepared by abington health (ein: 27-1243803), a related tax exempt organization.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	Worksheet 2 was used to calculate the cost to charge ratio for financial assistance and unreimbursed medicaid. All other costs were either obtained from the hospital's cost accounting, cost reporting or general ledger systems.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	Community building activities undertaken by this organization improve the medical and socioeconomic well-being of the communities in our care. This is accomplished through service on state and regional advocacy committees and boards, volunteerism with local community-based non-profit advocacy groups, and participation in conferences and other educational activities to promote understanding of the root causes of health concerns. This organization provides educational materials, conducts community health fairs and holds health education seminars and outreach sessions for its patients and for community providers. Presentations are provided by physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; LINES 2, 3 & 4	Bad debt expense was calculated using the providers' bad debt expense from its financial statements. The organization and its affiliates prepare and issue audited consolidated financial statements. The system's allowance for doubtful accounts (bad debt expense) methodology and financial assistance policies are consistently applied across all hospital affiliates. The attached text was obtained from the footnotes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the organization and its affiliates. Charitable medical care provided Tju provides medically necessary services to all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Some patients qualify for charity care based on policies established by tju and are therefore not responsible for payment for all or a part of their healthcare services. These policies allow for the provision of free or discounted care in circumstances where requiring payment would impose financial hardship on the patient. Charges for services rendered to patients who meet tjus guidelines for charity care are not separately recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Tju maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care provided. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished. Such amounts have been excluded from net patient service revenue. Management estimates that the cost of charity care provided by tju was $28.6 million and $21.8 million for the years ended june 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts are not included the provision for bad debts of $124.8 million and $102.7 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are reflected as deductions in net patient service revenue. The estimated costs of providing charity services are based on a calculation which applies a ratio of costs to charges to the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing care to charity patients. The ratio of cost to charges is calculated based on the tju total expenses divided by gross patient service revenue. Net patient service revenue Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payers and others for services rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under reimbursement agreements with third-party payers. Retroactive adjustments are considered in the recognition of revenue on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Revenue from the medicare and medicaid fee-for-service programs accounted for approximately 23.5% and 3.0%, respectively, and 24.1% and 3.3%, respectively of net patient service revenue in 2017 and 2016, respectively. Most payments to tju from the medicare and pennsylvania medicaid programs for inpatient hospital services are made on a prospective basis. Under these programs, payments are made at a pre-determined specific rate for each discharge based on a patients diagnosis. Additional payments are made to tju as a teaching and disproportionate share hospitals, as well as for cases that have an extremely long length-of-stay or unusually high costs. Laws governing the medicare and medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Services billed to the medicare program are subject to external review for both medical necessity and billing compliance. Medicare cost reports for all years, except 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2017 have been audited and final settled as of june 30, 2017. No significant adjustments are expected. In addition, tju received funds from the philadelphia hospital assessment program and the medical assistance modernization act-quality care assessment program in the amount of $125.3 million and $93.5 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are recorded in net patient service revenue. Tju paid taxes in respect to these programs amounting to $95.29 million and $78.9 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are recorded in other operating expenses. Both programs were designed to provide supplemental funding for licensed acute care hospitals with the philadelphia hospital assessment program specifically designated for hospital emergency services. Tju has also entered into agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations. The basis for payment to tju under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per discharge, discounts from established charges, prospectively determined daily rates and capitated rates. Revenue from blue cross and aetna ushc amounted to 30.0% and 9.1%, respectively, and 30.9% and 9.4%, respectively, of tjus net patient service revenue in 2017 and 2016, respectively.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; LINE 8	Financial information listed on schedule h part iii lines 5, 6 & 7 were derived from the hospital's cost accounting system and not the 2016 filed Medicare cost report. Using the cost report would result in an decrease to the amount on line 5 of $17,322,181 and a decrease to line 6 of $23,105,882. Medicare underpayments and bad debt are community benefit and associated costs are includable on the form 990, schedule h, part i. The organization believes that medicare underpayments (shortfall) and bad debt are community benefit and associated costs are includable on the form 990, schedule h, part i. As outlined more fully below the organization believes that these services and related costs promote the health of the community as a whole and are rendered in conjunction with the organization's charitable tax-exempt purposes and mission in providing medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, status as an individual with a handicap/disability or ability to pay and consistent with the community benefit standard promulgated by the irs. The community benefit standard is the current standard for a hospital for recognition as a tax-exempt and charitable organization under internal revenue code ("irc") 501(c)(3). The organization is recognized as a tax-exempt entity and charitable organization under 501(c)(3) of the irc. Although there is no definition in the tax code for the term "charitable" a regulation promulgated by the department of the treasury provides some guidance and states that "the term charitable is used in section 501(c)(3) in its generally accepted legal sense,provides examples of charitable purposes, including the relief of the poor or unprivileged; the promotion of social welfare; and the advancement of education, religion, and science. Note it does not explicitly address the activities of hospitals. In the absence of explicit statutory or regulatory requirements applying the term "charitable" to hospitals, it has been left to the irs to determine the criteria hospitals must meet to qualify as irc 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. The original standard was known as the charity care standard. This standard was replaced by the irs with the community benefit standard which is the current standard. Charity care standard In 1956, the irs issued revenue ruling 56-185, which addressed the requirements hospitals needed to meet in order to qualify for irc 501(c)(3) status. One of these requirements is known as the "charity care standard." under the standard, a hospital had to provide, to the extent of its financial ability, free or reduced-cost care to patients unable to pay for it. A hospital that expected full payment did not, according to the ruling, provide charity care based on the fact that some patients ultimately failed to pay. The ruling emphasized that a low level of charity care did not necessarily mean that a hospital had failed to meet the requirement since that level could reflect its financial ability to provide such care. The ruling also noted that publicly supported community hospitals would normally qualify as charitable organizations because they serve the entire community and a low level of charity care would not affect a hospital's exempt status if it was due to the surrounding community's lack of charitable demands. Community benefit standard In 1969, the irs issued revenue ruling 69-545, which "remove(d)" from revenue ruling 56-185 "the requirements relating to caring for patients without charge or at rates below cost." under the standard developed in revenue ruling 69-545, which is known as the "community benefit standard," hospitals are judged on whether they promote the health of a broad class of individuals in the community. The ruling involved a hospital that only admitted individuals who could pay for the services (by themselves, private insurance, or public programs such as medicare), but operated a full-time emergency room that was open to everyone. The irs ruled that the hospital qualified as a charitable organization because it promoted the health of people in its community. The irs reasoned that because the promotion of health was a charitable purpose according to the general law of charity, it fell within the "generally accepted legal sense" of the term "charitable," as required by treas. Reg. 1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(2). The irs ruling stated that the promotion of health, like the relief of poverty and the advancement of education and religion, is one of the purposes in the general law of charity that is deemed beneficial to the community as a whole even though the class of beneficiaries eligible to receive a direct benefit from its activities does not include all members of the community, such as indigent members of the community, provided that the class is not so small that its relief is not of benefit to the community. The irs concluded that the hospital was "promoting the health of a class of persons that is broad enough to benefit the community" because its emergency room was open to all and it provided care to everyone who could pay, whether directly or through third-party reimbursement. Other characteristics of the hospital that the irs highlighted included the following: its surplus funds were used to improve patient care, expand hospital facilities, and advance medical training, education, and research; it was controlled by a board of trustees that consisted of independent civic leaders; and hospital medical staff privileges were available to all qualified physicians. The american hospital association ("aha") believes that medicare underpayments (shortfall) and bad debt are community benefit and thus includable on the form 990, schedule h, part i. This organization agrees with the aha position. As outlined in the aha letter to the irs dated august 21, 2007 with respect to the first published draft of the new form 990 and schedule h, the aha felt that the irs should incorporate the full value of the community benefit that hospitals provide by counting medicare underpayments (shortfall) as quantifiable community benefit for the following reasons: - providing care for the elderly and serving medicare patients is an essential part of the community benefit standard. - medicare, like medicaid, does not pay the full cost of care. Recently, medicare reimburses hospitals only 92 cents for every dollar they spend to take care of medicare patients. The medicare payment advisory commission ("medpac") in its march 2007 report to congress cautioned that underpayment will get even worse, with margins reaching a 10-year low at negative 5.4 percent. - many medicare beneficiaries, like their medicaid counterparts, are poor. More than 46 percent of medicare spending is for beneficiaries whose income is below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Many of those medicare beneficiaries are also eligible for medicaid -- so called eligibles." There is every compelling public policy reason to treat medicare and medicaid underpayments similarly for purposes of a hospital's community benefit and include these costs on form 990, schedule h, part i. Medicare underpayment must be shouldered by the hospital in order to continue treating the community's elderly and poor. These underpayments represent a real cost of serving the community and should count as a quantifiable community benefit. Both the aha and this organization also feel that patient bad debt is a community benefit and thus includable on the form 990, schedule h, part i. Like medicare underpayment (shortfalls), there also are compelling reasons that patient bad debt should be counted as quantifiable community benefit as follows: - a significant majority of bad debt is attributable to low-income patients, who, for many reasons, decline to complete the forms required to establish eligibility for hospitals' charity care or financial assistance programs. A 2006 congressional budget office ("cbo") report, nonprofit hospitals and the provision of community benefits, cited two studies indicating that "the great majority of bad debt was attributable to patients with incomes below 200% of the federal poverty line." - the report also noted that a substantial portion of bad debt is pending charity care. Unlike bad debt in other industries, hospital bad debt is complicated by the fact that hospitals follow their mission to the community and treat every patient that comes through their emergency department, regardless of ability to pay. Patients who have outstanding bills are not turned away, unlike other industries. Bad debt is further complicated by the auditing industry's standards on reporting charity care. Many patients cannot or do not provide the necessary, extensive documentation required to be deemed charity care by auditors. As a result, roughly 40% of bad debt is pending charity care. - the cbo
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B	For the abington health community, every attempt will be made to identify patients having an inability to pay in order to assess the patient for financial assistance from either outside resources (e.g., ma, chip, etc.) Or via the hospital policy for financial assistance. Patients will receive one (1) hospital generated statement indicating their responsibilities and payment due dates. The statements include information regarding the availability of financial assistance. If, in the course of communication with the patient, there is an indication that the patient cannot pay the balance, the patient is given the opportunity to set up a payment plan, and where appropriate, information related to available financial assistance. Anywhere along the continuum of collections, whether it be via internal staff or extended outsourced agencies, patients are offered the opportunity to apply for financial assistance. For the uninsured: at the time of registration, abington health financial counseling staff will determine that the patient is uninsured. Whenever possible, an assessment will be done regarding eligibility for medical assistance and/or financial assistance. Patients with the designation of uninsured can and should be encouraged to apply for the financial assistance program anytime a hardship in paying the discount amount is identified. If assistance is approved, the percentage discount will be applied to the medicare fee-for-service rates in place at the time of service. Accounts considered to be charity care are not included in the bad debt expense, but rather, accounted for as an allowance. It is the policy of the abington health system business office, and all its hospital affiliates, to treat all patients equally regardless of insurance and their ability to pay. For accounts determined to be "self-payor accounts with balances after primary insurance payments, the collection policy requires: sending one statement, then referral to an outside extended business office agency who performs follow up via statements and telephone contact for 90 days. The facility also has a financial assistance policy to assure patients are provided with charity care assistance determined by state and federal regulations. It is the policy to inform all patients deemed self-pay of the appropriate assistance programs available. Patients applying for financial assistance will be financially screened by a resource advisor to determine eligibility according to state and federal guidelines and will be informed of documentation needed to complete a charity care application. Patients not eligible for charity care and/or financial assistance will be financially counseled for all other options. Qualified patients will be referred to all appropriate agencies or programs to meet other financial needs. At the time of the patient visit and part of the registration process at the facility, the following options are made available to patients: - a copy of the plain language summary is offered to the patient for their reference; - financial counseling for possible eligibility for medical assistance including medicaid and ssi; - financial counseling for possible eligibility for the hospital's financial assistance program; and, - financial arrangements including: 1. Cash/credit card (american express, discover, visa, mastercard), 2. Flexible payment plans. In addition to the above options, the facility has established a self-pay assistance program for our uninsured patients that do not qualify for medicaid or the hospital's financial assistance program.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	As a non-profit internal revenue code 501(c)(3) organization, abington health ("ah") has a strong mission of community service and outreach. The collaborative process for ah including abington memorial hospital and lansdale hospital corporation began in may 2015 when ah leaders reached out to our new jefferson colleagues at the center for urban health to begin a dialogue for the 2016 chna process. The enterprise team was formed with meetings, conference calls and discussions immediately following. Together a new chna model was created and together we agreed to continue with public health management corporation ("phmc") household health survey for data and quantitative information. Numerous secondary data and literature sources, and internal experts and external representatives of healthcare and community based organizations who have knowledge of health and social conditions of these communities were represented in key interviews and small group meetings during the chna process. The community health needs assessment provides a definition of the community, the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the residents, and the existing healthcare resources. Immediately following were the needs assessments process and methods; findings; identification of unmet needs and asset mapping. Quantitative information from the u.s. census, pennsylvania department of health vital statistics and phmc's southeastern pa household health survey was analyzed for the hospital's service area using the statistical program for social sciences ("spss"). The unmet healthcare needs for this service area were identified and prioritized by comparing the health status, access to care, health behaviors, and utilization of services for residents of the service area to results for the county and state and the healthy people 2020 goals for the nation. In addition, for household health survey measures, tests of significance were conducted to identify and prioritize. This organization conducts a review of key factor information annually which includes: a review of healthcare utilization of its service area population by services (urology, cardiology, obstetrics, etc.) For determining increased or decreased health needs; healthcare service estimates and forecasts (both inpatient and outpatient); assessments of local demographic and socioeconomic information; and, a review of health status/needs assessments and studies conducted by external parties including phmc household health survey data; healthy people 2020; pa department of health, bureau of health statistics and research; behavioral risks of pa adults; minority health disparities in pennsylvania; death rates in pa, montgomery county and southeastern pennsylvania; county health rankings; national organization websites, i.e., american diabetes association, american heart association and american stroke association. Using the quantitative and qualitative data presented in the chna and a prioritization process, ah identified the most important priority health needs for the population of AMH'S community benefit areas which include: mental health services; social and healthcare needs of the older adults; obesity; alcohol/substance abuse; womens cancer; chronic disease management (diabetes, heart disease and hypertension, stroke, asthma); health education, social services and regular source of care. The community health department, working under the guidance of the abington health foundation community benefit committee is responsible for developing implementation plans focusing on priority issues and most important health needs. In addition, this organization works with local providers to plan and discuss health needs of the population. AMH continues to attend local and regional community organization meetings and county collaboratives for the greater abington area. Regional county collaboratives include the healthcare system with representation from local politicians, local community health centers, emergency health providers and other community health leaders. AMH worked with area hospitals and nonprofits to form the montgomery county health alliance which received pa state designation of ship status (state health improvement plan). In addition, during the chna process, abington health joined coach and the montgomery county hospital partnership.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3	Charity care signs are posted throughout the facility, mainly in patient registration areas. Signs are posted in both english and spanish. Abington health ("ah") has continued the financial counseling center to assist all members of the community with access, navigation, information and registration to ah's financial assistance program, assistance with the healthcare exchanges and other resources. In fy16, staff was designated to abington memorial hospital. All patients deemed self-pay or uninsured are screened for available government programs and financial assistance by a financial counselor, part of the financial counseling center of ah. Counselors reference the federal poverty guidelines for inclusion in ah's financial assistance program. Ah anticipated the regulatory landscape of internal revenue code ("irc") 501(r) and updated clinic brochures including translation in several languages during fy16. In addition, ah created and displayed the financial assistance brochure in all patient registration areas, access areas and the emergency department of amh. In addition, community contacts and hospital departments and leaders received the information. All financial assistance information is included and posted to the hospital's website and in fy16 all website pages were updated with new irc 501(r) regulatory requirements. Ah engages an outside agency to assist patients in obtaining government assistance.

CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTIONS 6 & 7	ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATION. THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY ("TJU") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF AH. TJU HAS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY AND RIGHT TO ELECT THE MEMBERS OF THIS ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND HAS CERTAIN RESERVED POWERS AS DEFINED IN THIS ORGANIZATION'S BYLAWS.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 11B	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO AND MADE AVAILABLE TO EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY PRIOR TO FILING OF THE FORM 990 WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). AS PART OF THE TAX RETURN PREPARATION PROCESS THE ORGANIZATION HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING ("CPA") FIRM WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN BOTH HEALTHCARE AND NOT FOR-PROFIT TAX RETURN PREPARATION TO PREPARE THE FEDERAL FORM 990. THE CPA FIRM'S TAX PROFESSIONALS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THE SYSTEM TO OBTAIN THE INFORMATION NEEDED IN ORDER TO PREPARE A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE TAX RETURN.

CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE. THE SYSTEM HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WITH WHICH ALL AFFILIATES REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY GOVERNS CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE AND MONITORING OF ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN EVALUATING ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTS OR TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BENEFIT THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF A TRUSTEE, THEIR FAMILY MEMBER(S), A MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE THAT EXERCISES BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS OF THE UNIVERSITY, OR SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE POLICY IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT BUT NOT REPLACE APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS GOVERNING NONPROFIT CHARITABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST COMPLETE, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCESS INCLUDES DISTRIBUTION OF AN ELECTRONIC DISCLOSURE TO ALL PERSONS WHO SERVED AS VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE DISCLOSURE FORM ELICITS INFORMATION RELATED TO THE RESPONDENTS ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY ENGAGED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE PROCESS ALSO REQUIRES COVERED PERSONS TO DISCLOSE SUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION TO ATTESTING TO THE VERACITY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE DISCLOSURE, THE VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST CERTIFY THAT HE OR SHE WILL ABIDE BY THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES AND WILL DISCLOSE ALL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEIR ONGOING SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED AS KEY EMPLOYEES RECEIVE DISCLOSURE QUESTIONS REQUIRED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL PERSONS COVERED UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND EMPLOYEE-RELATED CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES MAINTAIN A CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE ALL CHANGES IN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS ALL ORIGINAL DISCLOSURE FORMS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RECORD RETENTION POLICY. THE SYSTEM ALSO COMPILES AND ISSUES A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT OF ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES REPORTED DURING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THEREAFTER, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ITSELF OR THROUGH DELEGATION TO THE AUDIT, RISK AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE, EVALUATES ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO DETERMINE WHETHER ACTIVITIES OR ARRANGEMENTS REQUIRE MANAGEMENT, REDUCTION, OR ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES OR RELATIONSHIPS. WHEN MANAGEMENT OF THE IDENTIFIED CONFLICT IS REQUIRED, THE AFFECTED PERSON(S), MEMBERS OF THE BOARDS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN. AFFECTED PERSONS ARE EXPECTED TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO, RECUSAL FROM DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING WHEN APPROPRIATE. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE-OUTLINED INTERNAL REPORTING AND EVALUATION OF ACTIVITIES, TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS, ALL REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE'S REGULATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE REPORTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN JEFFERSON/JEFFERSON HEALTH; A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY AND TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WITH A TRIPARTITE MISSION OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE WHICH INCLUDES ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ("AMH"). TJU HAS A COMPENSATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, PRESIDENT OF ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH") HOSPITALS, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF LEGAL AFFAIRS/GENERAL COUNSEL AND CHIEF OF STAFF. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION IS REASONABLE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM, INCLUDING THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, PRESIDENT OF AH HOSPITALS, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF LEGAL AFFAIRS/GENERAL COUNSEL AND CHIEF OF STAFF. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY, THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THE PEER GROUP CHOSEN FOR COMPARISON SHOULD REFLECT THE FACT THAT ABINGTON HEALTH IS A MULTI HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. THE PEER GROUP WILL CONTAIN NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS COMPARABLE IN SIZE AND COMPLEXITY TO ABINGTON HEALTH. THE PEER GROUP WOULD CONSIST OF INDEPENDENT, SINGLE AND MULTI-HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS THAT HAVE AN EMPHASIS ON TEACHING AND RANGE IN SIZE FROM HALF AS LARGE TO UP TO TWICE AS LARGE AS ABINGTON HEALTH. ALTHOUGH THIS PEER GROUP WILL CONTAIN ORGANIZATIONS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE U.S., ABINGTON HEALTH WILL ALSO EXAMINE REGIONAL (MID-ATLANTIC) AND LOCAL (PHILADELPHIA) PAY LEVELS. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, PRESIDENT OF AH HOSPITALS, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF LEGAL AFFAIRS/GENERAL COUNSEL AND CHIEF OF STAFF. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990 ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S JOB PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR AND IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE ORGANIZATION. OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS INCLUDE MARKET SURVEY DATA FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS, INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, PERSONNEL REVIEWS, EVALUATIONS, SELF-EVALUATIONS AND PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK MEETINGS.
