Group A-Facility 1 -- The Children's Mercy Hospital Part V, Section B, line 11:	The most recently adopted implementation stragegy plan can be found on the hospital website:http://www.childrensmercy.org/library/uploadedFiles/childrensmercy.org/About_Us/About_Childrens_Mercy/Community_Health_Needs_Assessment/Main_implementation%20plan.pdfThe three priority areas for the Implementation Plan are Access with emphasis on Medical Home; Injury and Safety; and Weight, Nutrition and Physical Activity. Progress related to Access: CMH continues to work with area pediatric practices to support their transition to a medical home as well as the support of CMH Clinics to such status; CMH has adopted new scheduling practices that provide easier availability to appointments and will launch Saturday specialty clinics in the Summer of 2015. We have expanded our Pediatric Fellow program to 36 programs. A key strategy for the Injury and Safety area is the development of a collaboration between all the home visiting programs in the Kansas City area. This collaboration, named Promise 1000, is a partnership with the United Way of Greater-KC and CMH. Promise 1000 includes that 12 home visiting programs in the area and supports referrals, coordination of technical assistance, data collection and evaluation services. In addition, CMH serves as a partner agency in the Trauma Matters community program. In the Weight, Nutrition and Physical Activity area, CMH continutes to serve as the leader for a community collaboration called Weighing In that brings together a number of area groups to work on healthy eating and active lifestyle activities. CMH has also worked with lead groups across the state of Missouri to develop a policy workgroup related to Obesity care.
Group A-Facility 1 -- The Children's Mercy Hospital Part V, Section B, line 13b:	To determine financial assistance eligibility for discounted care, we review financial assistance denials that have been appealed through a multi-disciplinary committee that uses a point system rubric using indicators such as FPG, total balance due as a percentage of annual income, out of pocket responsibility for upcoming year as a percentage of annual income, annual frequency of visits for ongoing care, financial hardship indicators such as recent bankruptcy/foreclosure, and medical complexity due to health condition. Each factor, if applicable, is reviewed and assigned point value based on a preset scale, that serves as a tool for the discounted care scale.

Part I, Line 3c:	To determine financial assistance eligibility for discounted care, we review financial assistance denials that have been appealed through a multi-disciplinary committee that uses a point system rubric using indicators such as FPG, total balance due as a percentage of annual income, out of pocket responsibility for upcoming year as a percentage of annual income, annual frequency of visits for ongoing care, financial hardship indicators such as recent bankruptcy/foreclosure, and medical complexity due to health condition. Each factor, if applicable, is reviewed and assigned point value based on a preset scale, that serves as a tool for the discounted care scale.
Part I, Line 7:	Cost-to-charge ratios were calculated as appropriate and applied to charges.
Part I, Line 7g:	The Children's Mercy Hospital operates subsidized health services that span across primary care clinics, specialty care clinics, and in the community. The organization also operates a clinics at an urban child care center that serves 400 children and a 1,000 student charter school in Kansas City, MO. Subsidized health services also include the Child Abuse and Neglect Clinic (serving 168 children), Developmental Medicine at the South Campus (3,427 children), a Home Care program (421 children) and Hearing and Speech Services (750 children). Additionally, CMH physicians and nurses provide outreach specialty clinics in communities throughout our region, making this specialized care more easily accessible to families so they don't have to travel long distances to receive care in Kansas City. In an attempt to further improve access, CMH provides telemedicine services that will allow the organization to reach a broader patient population.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):	The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), which is subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column, is $54,834,445.
Part II, Community Building Activities:	The Children's Mercy Hospital conducts a variety of community building activities that allow the organization to connect with the community and promote healthy living. In addition to several longstanding programs such as Weighing In that works to bring together community organizations to change policy and environments to support healthy lifestyles and active living, The Children's Mercy Hospital also offers community oriented programs and/or resources intended to make physical improvements, provide community support, build coalitions, advocate for community health improvements and address community-wide workforce issues. Some examples include, the maintenance of our Hospital Hill Park, Environmental Health Community Trainings and housing assessments, Equity and Diversity programs, and numerous advocacy activities.
Part III, Line 2:	The provision for bad debt is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections on aged accounts and patient responsibility balances. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third party coverage, the Hospital provides a provision for bad debt for balances greater than 365 days or patient responsibility balances that have met criteria for bad debt prior to 365 days. For receivables associated with self-pay patients, the Hospital records a provision of bad debt in the period of service on the basis of its past experience at an amount that approximates cost.
Part III, Line 4:	Refer to footnote '(o) Net Patient Service Revenue and Other Revenue' on page 10 of the attached audited financial statements. This footnote discusses both bad debt expense as well as the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Part III, Line 8:	The Children's Mercy Hospital follows the regulations governing the preparation of the Medicare Cost Report. In doing so, the Medicare allowable costs are based on the Hospital's audited financial statement amounts adjusted for those costs not allowable, such as costs related to physician and nurse practitioner services, marketing, and physician referrals. Other revenue sources such as for the cafeteria, vending machines, medical records fees, and various miscellaneous operating revenues are offset from total costs to determine allowable costs. Total costs per functional area, or Cost Report line/category, are divided by charges to determine cost-to-charge ratios for each area.
Part III, Line 9b:	Collection attempts are discontinued once charges are determined to be eligible for charity care or financial assistance; insurance collection attempts continue as appropriate.
Part VI, Line 2:	In fiscal year 2013, The Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH) completed a child and adolescent Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) of the CMH service area. Several needs were identified and three were deemed priority based on their significance, magnitude (e.g. # of persons affected) and impact (e.g. quality of life): 1.) Access, Including the Importance of a Medical Home, 2.) Injury and Safety, and 3.) Nutrition, Physical Activity and Weight Status. The CHNA was directed by CMH with research support from Professional Research Consultants, Inc. based in Omaha, NE. The assessment incorporates data from quantitative and qualitative sources. Quantitative data sources include primary research (the 2013 PRC Child and Adolescent Health Survey-surveyed 1000 families across the region) and secondary data (vital statistics and health-related data from local, state and national sources). Qualitative data included input from five Focus Groups, which included representatives from community health care providers, public health professionals, social service representatives, and community leaders.
Part VI, Line 3:	Flyers and business cards are available at all access points within the Hospital. Efforts are made by the financial counselors to contact self pay patients and families, either in person, or through phone call or letters. Self pay or underinsured patients can also be referred to a financial counselor by an Access Representative, Patient Care Services, Social Work, Patient Financial Services, or other staff members for screening and assistance.
Part VI, Line 4:	The Children's Mercy Hospital service area is comprised of counties located in both Missouri and Kansas. The CMH Primary Service Area is defined as the 18 counties immediately surrounding the Kansas City MSA, while the Secondary Service Area is comprised of the 50 surrounding counties. Children's Mercy Hospital is the only pediatric hospital within the tertiary service area and provides a number of unique services not available anywhere within a 200-mile radius of Kansas City. In addition, a minority of the pediatric primary care providers in the service area accept Medicaid, so our primary care and dental services see a disproportionate share of uninsured and underinsured patients. The hospital is located in an area designated by HRSA as medically underserved and as a primary care and dental health provider.For purposes of the Community Health Needs Assessment, Children's Mercy Hospital defined a 4 county "community" based on patient utilization data. This area is comprised of 2 counties in Missouri (Jackson and Clay) and 2 counties in Kansas (Johnson and Wyandotte) and encompasses rural, suburban and urban populations. The four counties house a total population of 1,652,781 residents of which 25% is comprised of children under 18 years of age. Of this group, 36% are minorities and 17.8% of the population of children live in poverty. These counties serve as the location of our physical facilities (e.g. Main Campus, Children's Mercy South, Children's Mercy West, Children's Mercy Northland, Children's Mercy Broadway Clinics and Children's Mercy East) and the source of a majority of our patient encounters. During the fiscal year in which Children's Mercy Hospital initiated the Community Health Needs Assessment, approximately 74% of the total number of patients we encounter resided in these 4 counties alone.
Part VI, Line 5:	The Children's Mercy Hospital is a nonprofit hospital operated to serve a public rather than a private interest and meeting the requirements of Revenue Ruling 69-545. Control of the Hospital rests with its Board, which is primarily composed of members of the community, in addition to a few select employees of the Hospital. The Hospital accepts patients paying with Medicaid and Medicare, and operates an active and generally accessible emergency room open to all children without regard to ability to pay. The Hospital uses any surplus funds to improve the quality of patient care, expand its facilities, and advance its medical training, education, and research programs.The Children's Mercy Hospital promotes children's health in the Kansas City region in numerous ways. Highlights of these programs include providing direct funding support to community organizations with like missions (i.e. Reach Out and Read, the Ronald McDonald House), training community members on assessing and managing child abuse (i.e. SCAN Outreach Services), the coordination of a community-wide strategy to organize home visiting, participating in community health fairs, serving on key community commitities (i.e., Infant and Child Mortality review boards, health department planning committees) and providing training and education for families with children at-risk for obesity or diabetes (i.e. Zoom to Health, PHIT Kids, etc.).
Part VI, Line 6:	The Children's Mercy Hospital is not part of an affiliated health care system.

Form 990, Part III, line 2	Pediatric Heart Transplant and Heart Failure Program The development of a pediatric heart transplant and heart failure program allowed the Ward Family Heart Center team to conduct the very first pediatric heart transplant in February of 2015 at Children's Mercy. The Children's Mercy heart transplant program is the only program in the region between St. Louis and Denver. In addition, the Ward Family Heart Center is now able to support heart failure patients with the use of Ventricular Assist Devices or VADs. Cardiac High Acuity Monitoring Program (CHAMP) The Ward Family Heart Center team developed an innovative tablet-based app that directly connects single ventricle heart defect patients to their doctors, dramatically improving their monitoring and, ultimately, patient outcomes. CHAMP replaces the previous paper-based monitoring system, which put the burden on parents and created inaccuracies, to an automated and simplified way to deliver accurate information in real-time. Athletic Training Program The Center for Sports Medicine at Children's Mercy continued to expand its presence in the community by starting an Athletic Training Program. Within its first few months of launch, the program entered into contractual relationships with Brookside Soccer Club and Kansas City, MO School District.

All Outside Professional and Commercial Interests Forms and Conflict of Interest Questionnaires are reviewed by the Corporate Compliance Manager.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for approving the compensation of the CEO, which they document in an Employment Agreement between the Board of Directors and the CEO. The Compensation Committee also approves the compensation of the EVP/CFO, the EVP/Chief Medical Officer, two persons with the title EVP/co-Chief Operating Officer, all officers of the Hospital, and the Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, who is a key employee. The Compensation Committee is composed of independent outside directors who receive no compensation for their participation on the Board. The Compensation Committee engages an outside consulting firm, whose practice includes the analysis of compensation for not-for-profit hospitals, to advise the Committee with regard to market data and analysis, which was used to establish compensation. A letter from the compensation consultant opining on the reasonableness of the compensation was provided to the Committee and documentation of the Committee's deliberations and decision are in existence.
