CURRENT AND PAST FILINGS OF THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT ARE MADE PUBLIC ON BOTH THE HOSPITAL'S PUBLIC WEBSITE AND THAT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL:HTTP://WWW.NEBH.ORG/ABOUT-NEBH/OUR-COMMUNITY/HTTP://WWW.CBSYS.AGO.STATE.MA.US/HEALTHCARE/HCCBAR.ASP
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION	THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE IS TO HELP THE READER UNDERSTAND IN MORE DETAIL HOW NEBH CARES FOR ITS COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AS WELL AS COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES.

NEBH PARTNERED THE MISSION HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THE MISSION HILL LEGACY PROJECT TO COMBAT HUNGER. NEBH IS COMMITTED TO COMBATING HUNGER IN OUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS. EACH YEAR, MUCH NEEDED FOOD IS GIVEN DURING THE THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS AND DURING SCHOOL VACATIONS. FOOD IS PROVIDED TO SUPPLEMENT STUDENT AND FAMILY FOOD NEEDS, AS MEALS ARE NOT SERVED BY THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DURING VACATIONS. LUNCH IS ALSO PROVIDED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS FOR CHILDREN PARTICIPATING IN THE YMCA AND THE CHILL FOUNDATION'S SKI PROGRAM. DURING THE HOLIDAYS, FOOD IS GIVEN TO SENIORS IN NEED THROUGH THE MISSION HILL LEGACY PROGRAM. NEBH DONATED TO THE BOSTON CAN SHARE PROGRAM WHICH IS THE ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE SPONSORED BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF FOOD INITIATIVES.INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS ACCESS TO HEALTHY FRUITS AND VEGETABLESAS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA, THERE IS A NEED IN MISSION HILL FOR ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD. NEBH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD BY PARTNERING WITH THE MISSION HILL HEALTH MOVEMENT AND THE MISSION HILL FARMERS MARKET. NEBH OFFERED $2 COUPONS TO THE FARMERS MARKET EACH WEEK DURING THE SUMMER AND FALL TO MISSION HILL/ROXBURY RESIDENTS SO THAT THEY MAY PURCHASE FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AT A DISCOUNTED RATE. OVER 3,950 COUPONS WERE GIVEN OUT TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS.IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES LISTED ABOVE, NEBHENGAGES IS OTHER COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES WHICH NEBH CONSIDERS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, BUT WHICH ARE REPORTED IN THIS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H PART II AS COMMUNITY BUILDING AS REQUIRED. DETAIL RELATED TO SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES IS BELOW.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT	MEREDITH CAMERON YOUTH OPPORTUNITY INTERNSHIP NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL MADE AN IMPORTANT COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY BY CREATING THE MEREDITH CAMERON YOUTH OPPORTUNITY INTERNSHIP, NAMED AFTER A LONG SERVICE HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE WHO PASSED AWAY IN 2009.THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO OFFER TWELVE TO FIFTEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO PERMANENTLY RESIDE IN THE MISSION HILL/ROXBURY COMMUNITY AN 8 TO 10 WEEK PAID SUMMER EMPLOYMENT IN POSITIONS THAT WILL BE ENGAGING, ENRICHING AND REWARDING WHILE PROVIDING EXPOSURE TO HEALTH AND SCIENCE RELATED CAREER PATHS. THESE JOBS ARE IN CLINICAL AREAS THAT ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO OBSERVE/BECOME FAMILIAR WITH PATIENT CARE WHILE THEY PERFORM ANCILLARY FUNCTIONS OR IN DEPARTMENTS THAT SUPPORT OUR PATIENT CARE EFFORTS INVOLVING SOME EXPOSURE TO SCIENCE/HEALTH CARE CAREERS. NEBH WORKS WITH HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS THROUGH EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE ROXBURY TENANTS OF HARVARD, ABCD PARKER HILL/ FENWAY NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE CENTER AND SOCIEDAD LATINA, A YOUTH AGENCY IN MISSION HILL. IN 2015, NINE STUDENTS WERE GAINFULLY EMPLOYED FOR THE SUMMER. FOUR OF THE NINE WERE HIRED AS PERMANENT PART TIME EMPLOYEES.ABCD SUMMERWORKS PROGRAM NEBH HAS BEEN A SPONSOR OF THE SUMMERWORKS PROGRAM FOR MANY YEARS. THE PROGRAM OFFERS YOUTH LIVING IN MISSION HILL A MEANINGFUL WORK EXPERIENCE AT LOCAL NON-PROFIT, ACADEMIC, AND MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS DURING THE SUMMER. CRISTO REY BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL CORPORATE WORK STUDY THE SIGNATURE COMPONENT OF CRISTO REY BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL IS THE CORPORATE WORK STUDY PROGRAM. THE SCHOOL SERVES FAMILIES WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES. EVERY ONE OF THEIR STUDENTS WORKS FIVE FULL DAYS PER MONTH TO PAY FOR MOST OF THE COST OF THEIR EDUCATION AND TO GAIN PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE. BY WORKING, STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT THE CORPORATE WORLD, CONNECT ACADEMIC COURSEWORK TO THE WORK THEY DO AT THEIR CORPORATE PLACEMENTS, AND GAIN SKILLS THAT WILL SERVE THEM BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL. APPRENTICESHIP LEARNINGAPPRENTICE LEARNING IS A BOSTON-BASED NON-PROFIT WHICH PROVIDES 8TH GRADERS IN URBAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE FIRSTHAND THE ADULT WORLD OF WORK AS PART OF THEIR SCHOOL DAY. STUDENTS SPEND 2 HOURS PER WEEK FOR 6 WEEKS AT THE HOSPITAL WITH VARIOUS STAFF MEMBERS.ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED: THE HOSPITAL IS AN ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY-REFERRAL HOSPITAL FOR THE NEW ENGLAND REGION. IT IS NOT A FULL-SERVICE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. BECAUSE OF THIS, AND TO AVOID DUPLICATION OF SERVICES, THE HOSPITAL IDENTIFIED RESOURCES AND STRENGTHS IN ITS SPECIALTY AREAS. SIMILAR TO THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, THE HOSPITAL EVALUATED RESOURCES AND STRENGTHS OF ITS SPECIALTY AREAS AND THEN SOUGHT OUT COMMUNITY PARTNERS FOR EACH AREA TO HELP DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT PLANS AND PROJECTS ACCORDING TO COMMUNITY NEED. (FORM 990 SCHEDULE H PART V SECTION B QUESTION 11)CHRONIC DISEASE NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL IS FULLY ENGAGED THROUGH ITS AFFILIATIONS WITH OTHER HOSPITALS, CLINICS AND PHYSICIAN GROUPS WHO HAVE SIGNIFICANT EXPERTISE IN CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY ASSOCIATED WITH DIABETES, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, ETC., ARE MET. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT PROGRAMS IN NEARBY CLINICS AND HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT TO BETTER ASSESS, MONITOR AND TREAT PATIENTS WITH MOOD DISORDER, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ETC., IN OUR COMMUNITY. MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST DOES NOT PROVIDE MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH. THE COMMUNITY IS SURROUNDED BY MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS THAT OFFER THESE SERVICES.SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: PART I, LINE 7(F):HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATIONNEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL (NEBH) SERVES AS A TEACHING HOSPITAL AFFILIATED WITH THE TUFTS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND MAINTAINS RESIDENCY PROGRAMS SPECIALIZING IN ORTHOPEDICS AND RADIOLOGY. ALSO, NEBH CONDUCTS TEACHING PROGRAMS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. RESIDENTS IN THESE PROGRAMS OBTAIN EDUCATION NECESSARY TO BE LICENSED AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, AND THEIR SELECTION AND ROTATION BEYOND THE NEBH PROGRAM IS IN NO WAY RESTRICTED. IN FY 2015, NEBH HAD A TOTAL OF 41 ROTATING ORTHOPEDIC AND RADIOLOGY RESIDENTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: PART I, LINE 7(G):	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICESNEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL (NEBH) PROVIDES CERTAIN HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES WITH THE PURPOSE OF IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND SUBSIDIZED BY THE ORGANIZATION: IF NEBH DISCONTINUED THESE SERVICES, THEN OTHER COMMUNITY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WOULD BEAR THE ADDITIONAL BURDEN OF COVERAGE AND SERVICE. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF THE PROGRAMS (PLEASE SEE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PROGRAMS BELOW) THAT WERE SUBSIDIZED BY THE HOSPITAL IN FY 2015: EXPENS DIRECT NET OFFSETTING COMMUNITY REVENUE BENEFIT EXPENSEG) SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES7G) ORTHOPEDIC BRACES 439,363 - 439,363 TO PATIENTS AT NO COST7G) COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES IN MISSION HILL BY 531,357 (317,872) 213,485 DR.TSIKITAS7G) COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES BY DR.

THE NEBH BRACE PROGRAM PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH THE CUSTOM DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT (DME) THEY NEED AFTER SURGERY OR HOSPITAL VISIT. EACH PATIENT NEED IS DIFFERENT AND THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BEST PROTECT, SUPPORT, AND REHABILITATE PATIENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. COMMON NEEDS INCLUDE: AN AMBULATORY PATIENT NEEDING A CUSTOM CAST, WALKING BOOT, WALKER OR BRACE AFTER A FALL; A PATIENT REQUIRING A CUSTOMIZED ORTHOTIC FOR PROTECTION BEFORE GOING HOME AFTER SURGERY; OR A PATIENT CONTINUING REHABILITATION USING A CONTINUOUS PASSIVE MOTION DEVICES (CPM'S). THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW OUR PATIENTS TO SAFELY EXIT THE HOSPITAL AND SUPPORT THEM AS THEY RETURN TO THEIR DAILY ROUTINES. IN FY 2015, THE BRACE PROGRAM REQUIRED A NET SUBSIDY OF $439,363COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES NEBH IS A REFERRAL AND APPOINTMENT BASED ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. IN FY 2015 TOTAL INPATIENT HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS WERE 8,214, OF WHICH 99% WERE FOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES - PRIMARILY HIP, KNEE, AND OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL PROCEDURES; AND OUTPATIENT ACTIVITY WERE PREDOMINANTLY APPOINTMENT SURGERIES AND RELATED ANCILLARY VISITS TO RADIOLOGY, LAB, AND PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINICS. IN FY 2009, THE HOSPITAL HIRED A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN WITH OFFICES ON MISSION HILL, DR. BILL TSIKITAS, TO PROVIDE THOSE IN THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY WITH A PRIMARY CARE FIRST CONTACT FOR UNDIAGNOSED HEALTH CONCERNS OR PREVENTIVE CARE NEEDS THAT IS OTHERWISE NOT READILY AVAILABLE. IN FY 2015, DR. TSIKITAS' PRACTICE REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $213,485 AND THE HOSPITAL EXPECTS A SIMILAR FINANCIAL LOSS IN FUTURE YEARS. BOSTON'S FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION HAS INCREASED BY ALMOST 50% OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS AND NOW MAKES UP AN ESTIMATED 28% OF THE POPULATION, WELL ABOVE THE STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGES MAKING BOSTON ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. THE ORIGIN OF THESE RECENT IMMIGRANTS IS INCREDIBLY DIVERSE: NO SINGLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN REPRESENTS MORE THAN 10% OF THIS FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE OVER 140 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN BOSTON HOMES. SETTLEMENT OF RECENT IMMIGRANTS IS SIMILARLY DIVERSE, AS EVERY BOSTON NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SEEN ITS FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION GROW AT HIGHER RATES THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION. NEBH HAS SINCE FY 2005 SUBSIDIZED THE PRACTICE OF DR. GREGORY TALALAYEVSKY, A RUSSIAN-SPEAKING PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, TO THE MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THAT COMMUNITY. DR. TALALAYEVSKY'S SMALL PRACTICE HAS A STEADY PATIENT BASE OF THE ELDERLY AND RUSSIAN-SPEAKING POPULATION IN BOSTON. THESE PATIENTS AND OTHER NON-PROFITS OR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WOULD SUFFER UNWANTED BURDENS IF HIS PRACTICE WERE TO CLOSE. IN FY 2015, DR. TALALAYEVSKY'S PRACTICE REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $114,265 AND THE HOSPITAL EXPECTS A SIMILAR FINANCIAL LOSS IN FUTURE YEARS.IN ADDITION, HOSPITALISTS AND SURGICAL HOUSE OFFICERS OVERSEE THE CARE OF EVERY PATIENT ADMITTED REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THEY ARE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY AND SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. IN FY 2015, THE HOSPITALISTS REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $1,293,098, AND SURGICAL HOUSE OFFICER REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $447,256. THE HOSPITAL EXPECTS A SIMILAR FINANCIAL LOSS IN FUTURE YEARS.PSYCHIATRIC CARE & COUNSELINGNEBH OFFERS MINISTRY SERVICES AND IS FULLY ACCREDITED THROUGH THE ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION. CHAPLAINS, LED BY DR. KEN LARSEN, PROVIDE SPIRITUAL COUNSELING UPON REQUEST. DR. LARSEN AND HIS STAFF OFFER PSYCHIATRIC CARE AND COUNSELING TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, SUPPORTING THEIR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING WHILE THEY RECOVER PHYSICALLY, AT NO COST. NEBH STANDARD PSYCHIATRIC CARE INCLUDES EVALUATIONS DURING PRE-ADMISSION SCREENING, MONITORING OF PATIENTS DURING PRE & POST-OPERATIVE PERIODS, AND FOR CERTAIN PATIENTS, SUPPORT DURING DETOXIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF PAIN. THE HOSPITAL OFFERS THESE PSYCHIATRIC CARE AND COUNSELING FOR THE WELL-BEING OF ITS PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND OUR COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, A FULL CHAPEL IS OPEN TO ALL VISITORS, PATIENTS, AND EMPLOYEES, AS WELL AS PRAYER ROOM LOCATED NEXT TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU). IN FY 2015, THESE SERVICES REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $116,243 AND THE HOSPITAL EXPECTS A SIMILAR FINANCIAL LOSS IN FUTURE YEARS.COMMUNITY WALK-IN CLINIC/ AMBULATORY / EMERGENT CARE:A NEW PATIENT CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM WAS IMPLEMENTED IN MARCH 2016 FOR THE COORDINATION OF CARE OF AMBULATORY PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE NON-SCHEDULED MEDICAL EVALUATION OR TRANSFER TO ANOTHER FACILITY. THE GOAL OF THIS CHANGE WAS TO CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT DELIVERY MODEL WHERE PATIENTS ARE TRIAGED FOR THEIR CARE DEPENDING UPON THEIR CLINICAL PRESENTATION. AS NOTED ELSEWHERE IN THIS RETURN, NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY ROOM, BUT WILL TRIAGE AND/OR TREAT ANY PATIENT IN NEED OF CARE, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. A CLINICAL RESOURCE NURSE AND HOSPITALIST COLLABORATE TO IDENTIFY VENUE PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF PATIENT WHEN ABLE. THE HOSPITALIST WILL MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO THE BEST PATIENT DISPOSITION. CLINICAL SITUATIONS RECEIVED BY PHONE OR WALK-IN REQUIRING EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ARE DIRECTED TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, SUCH AS BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A RELATED AFFILIATE AND TERTIARY CARE ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER WHICH OPERATES A LEVEL 1 TRAUMA EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK.ALL PATIENTS WHO COME TO NEBH, AND WHO CAN BE ADEQUATELY TREATED AT NEBH, ARE TREATED AND NOT TRANSFERRED, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR CARE. IN FY 2015, THE NET COST TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO EMERGENCY CARE, EMERGENCY TRIAGE, URGENT CARE AND UNSCHEDULED COMMUNITY WALK-IN CARE WAS $1,173,477.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: PART I, LINE 7(H):	RESEARCHTHE NEBH DIVISION OF RESEARCH SUPPORTS EXISTING RESEARCH GROUPS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL IN CLINICAL, TRANSACTIONAL, AND PATIENT-CENTERED RESEARCH, WITH A FOCUS ON THREE KEY AREAS: JOINT REPLACEMENT, OSTEOARTHRITIS, AND SPINE RESEARCH. EACH YEAR, THE DIVISION OF RESEARCH HOSTS A SYMPOSIUM WHERE RESEARCH PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO THE PUBLIC. NEBH RESEARCH IS PREDOMINANTLY SELF-FUNDED.

IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION PROVIDES SERVICES THAT WERE NOT PAID BY PATIENTS AND, THEREFORE, ARE RECORDED AS BAD DEBTS. THE CORPORATION HAS REPORTED ITS GROSS OBLIGATION TO THE HSN FOR THE DELIVERY OF CHARITY CARE TO THE INDIGENT STATEWIDE AND BAD DEBTS AMOUNTING TO $1,750 AND $1,672 AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014, RESPECTIVELY, WHICH IS REFLECTED AS UNCOMPENSATED CARE EXPENSE IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, LINE 1: PART III, SECTION B., LINE 8:	MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND COSTING METHODOLOGYMEDICARE SHORTFALLTHE HOSPITAL MAY ON OCCASION REPORT A SHORTFALL RELATED TO ITS CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. ALTHOUGH NEBH CONSIDERS SUCH MEDICARE SHORTFALL PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE REASONS LISTED BELOW, AS REQUIRED BY THE FORM 990, OTHER THAN AMOUNTS RELATED TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7G, THE SHORTFALL HAS NOT BEEN QUANTIFIED IN PART I LINE 7, AND HAS BEEN SEPARATELY STATED IN PART III LINE 7 AS REQUIRED. - IRS REV. RUL. 69-545, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD FOR NONPROFIT HOSPITALS, STATES THAT IF A HOSPITAL SERVES PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, INCLUDING MEDICARE, THEN THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS IMPLIES THAT TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.- MEDICARE IS THE LARGEST PAYER FOR THE HOSPITAL AND ITS COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL MUST ACCEPT THESE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY MAKE A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT FROM PROVIDING SUCH SERVICES. IF THE MEDICARE PARTICIPATION IS PREMISED ON THIS FACT, THEN PROVIDING MEDICARE SERVICES PROMOTES ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHICH IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.- IN OUR COMMUNITY, MANY LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE MEDICARE BENEFITS.- THE ELDERLY ARE OFTEN AN UNDERSERVED POPULATION WHO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. WITHOUT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS PROVIDING MEDICARE SERVICES, CMS WOULD BEAR THE BURDEN OF DIRECTLY PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY.MEDICARE COSTING METHODOLOGYTHE HOSPITAL USES THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS COMPUTED IN ITS FY 2015 MEDICARE COST REPORT FILING FOR AMOUNTS REPORTED IN PART III, SECTION B, QUESTION 8 OF THIS TAX RETURN.

PLEASE SEE SECTION IV OF THE HOSPITAL'S CREDIT & COLLECTION POLICY, INCLUDED IN ITS ENTIRETY IN THE RESPONSE TO PART V, SECTION B, LINES 17-20. THIS SECTION DESCRIBES THE OVERALL HOSPITAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES, INCLUDING SPECIFIC GUIDANCE FOR LOW INCOME AND CHARITY CARE PATIENTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: PART V, SECTION A:	FACILITY INFORMATION: NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL IS AN ACUTE CARE MEDICAL / SURGICAL HOSPITAL AND A TEACHING AFFILIATE OF TUFTS UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL IN THE AREAS OF ORTHOPEDICS AND RADIOLOGY. ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, NEBH STILL PROVIDES CARE TO ALL WHO NEED URGENT CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINES 1 & 2, PART V, SECTION B, LINES 1-9:	NEEDS ASSESSMENTCOMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) SECTION 501(R), ENACTED AS PART OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, REQUIRES EACH HOSPITAL TO COMPLETE A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND TO FORMALLY ADOPT AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY (COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP)) PURSUANT TO FEDERAL GUIDELINES, IN ORDER MAINTAIN ITS TAX EXEMPT STATUS AS A HOSPITAL UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. AS NOTED PREVIOUSLY IN THIS FILING, NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL COMPLETED ITS MOST RECENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN JUNE 2013. THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND ACCOMPANYING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WERE APPROVED BY THE NEBH BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30, 2016. AS NOTED IN DETAIL ABOVE, THE NEBH'S PRIMARY TOOL FOR ASSESSING THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED IS THROUGH THE CHNA AND CHIP (SCHEDULE H PART VI QUESTION 2), HEREIN DESCRIBED. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - TARGETED GEOGRAPHY & POPULATION- NEBH'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA SPANS GREATER BOSTON AND BEYOND- NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA INCLUDES MISSION HILL AND PARTS OF ROXBURY AND JAMAICA PLAINCOMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - APPROACH & METHODS (SCHEDULE H PART V SECTION B QUESTION 3)NEBH IS COMMITTED TO COLLABORATING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESIDENTS FROM ACROSS BOSTON TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF SPECIAL NEED AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE REGION. NEBH WORKS WITH ALL SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION BUT IN RECOGNITION OF ITS STRONG TIES TO ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AND ITS SPECIFIC CLINICAL EXPERTISE, NEBH FOCUSES ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS ON IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE LOW INCOME, UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS LIVING IN MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY AND ON MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH. NEBH CURRENTLY OPERATES NUMEROUS EDUCATIONAL, OUTREACH, AND COMMUNITY-STRENGTHENING INITIATIVES, COLLABORATES WITH MANY OF THE COMMUNITY'S LEADING SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. THE HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTES OVER $2.5 MILLION ANNUALLY TO SUPPORT ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITMENTS AND THE MASSACHUSETTS UNCOMPENSATED CARE POOL. NEBH IS EAGER TO EXPLORE WAYS THAT IT CAN FURTHER ENGAGE AND ENRICH ITS CONNECTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.THIS REPORT AND ASSOCIATED COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS THE CULMINATION OF FOUR MONTHS OF WORK. THIS PROJECT WAS BORNE LARGELY OUT OF NEBH'S DESIRE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS OF THOSE LIVING IN ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, THE PROJECT ALSO FULFILLS LONG-STANDING REQUIREMENTS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND A NEW FEDERAL INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MANDATE THAT ALL NONPROFIT HOSPITALS CONDUCT A PERIODIC COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. THE COMMONWEALTH REQUIRES NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS TO UPDATE THEIR CHNAS EVERY YEAR AND THE IRS REQUIRES THAT A CHNA BE CONDUCTED EVERY THREE YEARS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE COMMONWEALTH AND IRS REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT NEBH ASSESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEED, ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, IDENTIFY PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES, AND CREATE A COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY THAT DESCRIBES HOW THE HOSPITAL, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WILL ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY THE ASSESSMENT.IN LIGHT OF THESE REQUIREMENTS, NEBH HIRED JOHN SNOW, INC. (JSI), A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PUBLIC HEALTH CONSULTING FIRM, TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOCUSING ON MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY, ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA WITH RESPECT TO ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO COMPILE INFORMATION FROM A RANGE OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE SOURCES TO CLARIFY THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND ASSESS THE OVERALL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE AREA'S HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEMS. ULTIMATELY, THE PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WOULD GUIDE HOW NEBH WOULD WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN MISSION AND HILL AND ROXBURY TO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY AND IMPROVE HEALTH STATUS MOVING FORWARD. THE CHNA WAS CONDUCTED IN THREE PHASES:- PHASE I: THE JSI PROJECT TEAM CONDUCTED A PRELIMINARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT RELIED HEAVILY ON QUANTITATIVE HEALTH-RELATED DATA DRAWN FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITY HEALTH INFORMATION PROFILE (MASSCHIP) SYSTEM AS WELL AS OTHER NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL SOURCES. THESE DATA ALLOWED THE JSI PROJECT TEAM TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA RESIDENTS AND IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC SEGMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY MOST AT-RISK. - PHASE II: JSI CONDUCTED A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND TWO FOCUS GROUPS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE FOCUS GROUPS HELPED THE JSI PROJECT TEAM TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR HEALTH STATUS, HEALTH-SEEKING BEHAVIORS, SERVICE GAPS, HEALTH-RELATED CHALLENGES, AND PRIORITIES. - PHASE III: CHRISTINE DWYER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS, AND BETH GREENSPAN, VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER, WORKED WITH JSI TO INTEGRATE THE CHNA'S FINDINGS, INCLUDING FEEDBACK FROM NEBH STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY, AND DEVELOPED NEBH'S COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN. IN PHASE III, JSI ALSO DEVELOPED A FINAL CHNA REPORT, OBTAINED APPROVAL FOR ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN FROM NEBH'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND DISSEMINATED THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS.THE CHNA UTILIZED A PARTICIPATORY, COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO LOOK AT HEALTH IN ITS BROADEST CONTEXT. AS NOTED ABOVE, THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED SYNTHESIZING EXISTING DATA ON SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH INDICATORS IN THE REGION AS WELL AS INFORMATION FROM COMMUNITY DIALOGUES CONDUCTED WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, AND INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5). NEBH CONDUCTED THIS CHNA PROCESS INDEPENDENTLY AS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 6A AND 6B.COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - KEY FINDINGSTHE FOLLOWING ARE KEY FINDINGS RELATED TO COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS AND THE DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH FOR NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA. SINCE MISSION HILL IS THE DOMINANT GEOGRAPHY IN NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA, THE FOCUS OF THIS SUMMARY IS ON MISSION HILL AS COMPARED TO ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL- AGE: MISSION HILL'S POPULATION HAS LARGER PROPORTIONS OF OLDER ADULTS (65+) AND SMALLER PROPORTIONS OF CHILDREN (<18) THAN THE POPULATIONS IN ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL. WITH RESPECT TO AGE, THE MOST STRIKING FINDING IS THE EXTREMELY LARGE PROPORTION OF YOUNG ADULTS (COLLEGE STUDENTS) THAT RESIDE IN MISSION HILL COMPARED TO ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL, WHICH SKEWS THE AGE DISTRIBUTION. MORE THAN 40% (40.2%) OF MISSION HILL'S POPULATION IS BETWEEN 18 AND 24 YEARS OLD, COMPARED TO 16.4 FOR ROXBURY AND 19.0% FOR BOSTON OVERALL.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINES 1 & 2, PART V, SECTION B, LINES 1-9:	NEEDS ASSESSMENT CONTINUED- RACE/ETHNICITY, FOREIGN BORN STATUS, AND LANGUAGE: THE PROPORTION OF RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY POPULATIONS IN MISSION HILL IS HIGH RELATIVE TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OVERALL BUT MIRRORS THE PROPORTIONS IN BOTH ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL. HOWEVER, THE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY POPULATION IN MISSION HILL ARE VERY DIFFERENT. IN MISSION HILL THERE ARE MUCH LARGER PERCENTAGES OF ASIAN RESIDENTS AND SMALLER PROPORTIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC RESIDENTS COMPARED TO ROXBURY. ACROSS MISSION HILL, ROXBURY, AND BOSTON OVERALL, MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE POPULATIONS ARE FOREIGN BORN AND MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE POPULATIONS SPEAK A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH AT HOME. THERE ARE CLEAR AND WELL-RECOGNIZED HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY AND FOREIGN POPULATIONS COMPARED TO THE MAJORITY NON-HISPANIC WHITE POPULATION. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH LITERACY ISSUES AMONG RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITIES, PARTICULARLY WITH FOREIGN-BORN POPULATIONS AND FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH. - INCOME/POVERTY: LARGE PROPORTIONS OF THE POPULATIONS IN MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY LIVE IN POVERTY (< 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL - FPL) OR LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS (< 200% FPL) AND STRUGGLE TO PAY FOR FOOD AND OTHER BASIC HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. IN MISSION HILL 39% OF THE HOUSEHOLDS ARE LIVING IN POVERTY, COMPARED TO 35% IN ROXBURY, AND 21% IN BOSTON OVERALL. THE SIGNIFICANT AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF POVERTY WERE ALSO DISCUSSED IN NEARLY ALL OF INTERVIEWS AND IN EACH FOCUS GROUP. THE MISSION HILL FIGURES ARE SOMEWHAT SKEWED BY THE LARGE NUMBERS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE AREA AND DO NOT HAVE A REGULAR INCOME. IF THESE YOUNG ADULTS LIVING IN NON-FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS ARE TAKEN OUT OF THE ANALYSIS, MISSION HILL FAIRS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN ROXBURY. HOWEVER, POVERTY AND ITS IMPACTS ARE STILL MAJOR ISSUE FOR MISSION HILL'S FAMILIES AND OTHER MORE PERMANENT RESIDENTS. - EDUCATION: COMPARED TO BOSTON, RESIDENTS OF MISSION HILL ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. COMPARED TO ROXBURY, HOWEVER, MISSION HILL RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. ONCE AGAIN, THIS DATA IS SKEWED BY THE HIGH NUMBER OF TRANSIENT YOUNG ADULT RESIDENTS WHO ATTEND BOSTON'S MANY UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES AND LIVE IN MISSION HILL.- LACK OF EMPLOYMENT, THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, AND ITS IMPACTS: WHILE MISSION HILL RESIDENTS APPEAR BETTER OFF THAN RESIDENTS OF ROXBURY ON THIS ISSUE, A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE MISSION HILL POPULATION ARE EITHER UNEMPLOYED OR DO NOT CONSIDER THEMSELVES PART OF THE WORKFORCE. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN MISSION HILL FOR PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 16 YEARS OLD IS JUST 8.1%, COMPARED TO 16.5% IN ROXBURY AND 10.2% IN BOSTON OVERALL. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO GET A CLEAR PICTURE OF THIS ISSUE ONE MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE NUMBER AND PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION WHO DO NOT CONSIDER THEMSELVES PART OF THE WORKFORCE. IN MISSION HILL NEARLY 40% (5,873) OF THE 16-YEAR-OLD-AND-OVER POPULATION DOES NOT CONSIDER ITSELF TO BE PART OF LABOR FORCE, WHICH MEANS THAT 41% (5,873) OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IS NOT EMPLOYED. VIEWED IN THIS MANNER, MISSION HILL IS STILL BETTER OFF THAN ROXBURY BUT NOT NEARLY TO THE EXTENT THAT UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES ALONE SUGGEST. IN ROXBURY, 51% (17,837) OF THE POPULATION IS NOT EMPLOYED AND IN BOSTON OVERALL THE FIGURE, NOT SURPRISINGLY, IS MUCH LOWER AT 38% (199,006). UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE IMPACT THAT THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN HAS HAD ON THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST 3-5 YEARS WAS ONE OF THE DOMINANT, IF NOT THE MOST DOMINANT, THEMES IN THE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS. LACK OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MISSION HILL'S YOUTH AND ADULTS HAS GREATLY IMPACTED THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOOD AND OTHER BASIC HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, TO SAY NOTHING OF OTHER COMFORTS THAT MANY TAKE FOR GRANTED. THESE ISSUES HAVE ALSO IMPACTED PEOPLE'S EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND LED TO ISOLATION, PARTICULARLY FOR OLDER ADULTS ON LIMITED FIXED INCOMES. CERTAINLY, POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, ISOLATION, AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING ARE IMPORTANT DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS. - FOOD INSECURITY: ANOTHER DOMINANT THEME FROM THE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WAS THE LACK OF ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, HEALTHY FOODS. INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS DISCUSSED THE FACT THAT THERE ARE FEW PLACES FOR RESIDENTS OF MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY TO BUY REASONABLY PRICED FRESH VEGETABLES AND OTHER NUTRITIONAL FOODS. PARTICIPANTS ALSO SPOKE OF THE HIGH PRICES AND LACK OF FRESH VEGETABLES AT THE LARGE, LOCAL GROCERY STORES IN THE AREA AND THE LONG DISTANCES THAT THEY HAD TO TRAVEL TO ACCESS MORE AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS.- TRANSPORTATION: GIVEN THE STEEP AND HILLY LANDSCAPE OF MISSION HILL, TRANSPORTATION WAS SEEN AS A MAJOR BARRIER AND DETERMINANT OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. LACK OF TRANSPORTATION WAS A LEADING THEME FROM THE ASSESSMENT INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS, ESPECIALLY FOR OLDER ADULT AND LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS LACKING A PERSONAL VEHICLE. INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS DISCUSSED CHALLENGES RELATED TO NAVIGATING THE HILLY TERRAIN ON MISSION HILL, THE ISOLATION THAT THOSE WITHOUT A PERSONAL CAR EXPERIENCED, THE NECESSITY FOR MANY TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE MISSION HILL AREA TO FIND AFFORDABLE FOOD AND OTHER BASIC ITEMS, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MISSION LINK PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE. - ACCESS TO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES: DESPITE THE DENSITY OF THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY, ACCESS TO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND OPEN SPACES IS ONE OF MISSION HILL'S ASSETS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PARKS, RECREATIONAL AREAS, AND INDOOR COMMUNITY CENTERS. AS WILL BE DISCUSSED LATER IN THE REPORT, A HIGH PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION IS OVERWEIGHT AND DOES NOT GET REGULAR PHYSICAL EXERCISE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES OR OPEN SPACES ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY. - VIOLENCE: RATES OF HOMICIDE AND NON-FATAL GUNSHOT WOUNDS SEEN IN THE CITY'S HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER IN ROXBURY (INCLUDING MISSION HILL) THAN IN BOSTON OVERALL. WHILE THERE WAS A CLEAR CONSENSUS AMONG INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS THAT THIS ISSUE HAD IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE PAST 2 DECADES AND THAT MISSION HILL WAS CONSIDERABLY SAFER THAN ROXBURY OVERALL, THIS GROUP AGREED THAT VIOLENCE STILL HAD A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. VIOLENCE NEGATIVELY AFFECTS THE HEALTH OF THOSE DIRECTLY INVOLVED BUT ALSO HAS MAJOR NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL EFFECTS ON THOSE WHO ARE INDIRECTLY INVOLVED AND THE COMMUNITY MORE BROADLY. THESE IMPACTS INCLUDE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, ISOLATION, AND LACK OF COMMUNITY COHESION. NEARLY EVERYONE WHO WAS INTERVIEWED OR INVOLVED IN FOCUS GROUPS DISCUSSED THE IMPACTS OF VIOLENCE AND ITS ASSOCIATED TRAUMA, PARTICULARLY ON THE AREA'S YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES. NEARLY EVERYONE WE TALKED WITH SAID THAT THEY KNEW SOMEONE WHO HAD BEEN IMPACTED DIRECTLY BY VIOLENCE AND UNDERSTOOD FIRST-HAND THE TOLL IT TOOK ON THE COMMUNITY. - COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIESTHE CHNA'S APPROACH PROVIDED AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO VET THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA COMPILED DURING THE ASSESSMENT. IN ADDITION, INTERVIEW AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED WHAT THEY PERCEIVED TO BE THE LEADING COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES. ULTIMATELY, THERE WAS LITTLE DEBATE THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH-RELATED ISSUE FACING THE COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING NEBH WAS THE BROADER 1) SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS (E.G., POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, FOOD INSECURITY, VIOLENCE, TRANSPORTATION), WHICH PREVENT MANY RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY LOW INCOME, RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY, AND OLDER ADULT RESIDENTS FROM MAINTAINING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND/OR ACCESSING THE REGULAR PREVENTIVE AND ACUTE HEALTH SERVICES THEY NEED. IN ADDITION TO THIS UNDERLYING PRIORITY, 2) ISSUES RELATED OBESITY, LACK OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE, AND POOR NUTRITION AS WELL AS THE CHRONIC DISEASES THAT ARE OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FACTORS WERE SEEN AS ANOTHER PRIORITY. FINALLY, ISSUES RELATED TO 3) ELDER HEALTH (E.G., GENERAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS, FALLS PREVENTION, ISOLATION/DEPRESSION, OSTEOPOROSIS, CHRONIC DISEASE) WERE ALSO A PRIORITY. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE IF ONE PRIORITIZES THE MORE PERMANENT RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY, WHO ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY OLDER THAN THE COMMUNITY OVERALL.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COVERAGE OPTIONS: PART V, SECTION B, LINES, 22-24CREDIT & COLLECTION POLICY, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2015INTRODUCTIONNEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL (NEBH OR HOSPITAL) IS THE FRONTLINE CAREGIVER PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. THE HOSPITAL OFFERS THIS CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS THAT COME TO OUR FACILITY 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND 365 DAYS A YEAR. THE HOSPITAL ASSISTS PATIENTS IN OBTAINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND OTHER SOURCES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE. TO REMAIN VIABLE AS IT FULFILLS ITS MISSION, THE HOSPITAL MUST MEET ITS FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO APPROPRIATELY BILL AND COLLECT FOR MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHILE THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT USES DIFFERENT NAMES FOR THE POLICIES THAT HOSPITAL MUST FOLLOW TO SHOW HOW THEY ARE PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS; THE OVERALL REQUIREMENTS ARE THE SAME. AS A RESULT, NEBH'S POLICY IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH BOTH THE STATE HEALTH SAFETY NET REGULATIONS ON "CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES AND THE FEDERAL HEALTHCARE REFORM LAW'S "FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY" REQUIREMENTS. TO THAT END, NEBH HAS REVIEWED THE FINAL REGULATIONS UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R) ISSUED BY THE TREASURY ON DECEMBER 29, 2015 AND IS, OR WILL BE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THOSE REGULATIONS ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2016 AS REQUIRED. THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, CITIZENSHIP, ALIENAGE, RELIGION, CREED, SEX, SEXUAL PREFERENCE, AGE, OR DISABILITY IN ITS POLICIES OR IN ITS APPLICATION OF POLICIES, CONCERNING THE ACQUISITION AND VERIFICATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION, PRE-ADMISSION OR PRE-TREATMENT DEPOSITS, PAYMENT PLANS, DEFERRED OR REJECTED ADMISSIONS, LOW INCOME PATIENT STATUS AS DETERMINED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF MEDICAID, DETERMINATION THAT A PATIENT IS LOW-INCOME, OR IN ITS BILLING AND COLLECTION PRACTICES.THIS CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS DEVELOPED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE CRITERIA REQUIRED UNDER (1) THE HEALTH SAFETY NET ELIGIBLE SERVICES REGULATION (101 CMR 613.00), (2) THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES MEDICARE BAD DEBT REQUIREMENTS (42 CFR 413.89), (3) THE MEDICARE PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENT MANUAL (PART 1, CHAPTER 3), AND (4) THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R) AS REQUIRED UNDER THE SECTION 9007(A) OF THE FEDERAL PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (PUB.

GENERAL PRINCIPLESFINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS INTENDED TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME PATIENTS WHO DO NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THEIR HEALTH CARE SERVICES. SUCH ASSISTANCE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HIS OR HER CARE. FOR THOSE PATIENTS THAT ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED, THE HOSPITAL WILL WORK WITH THEM TO ASSIST WITH APPLYING FOR AVAILABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT MAY COVER ALL OR SOME OF THEIR UNPAID HOSPITAL BILLS. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES THIS ASSISTANCE FOR BOTH RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS OF MASSACHUSETTS; HOWEVER, THERE MAY NOT BE COVERAGE IN A STATE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR A MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITAL'S SERVICES THROUGH AN OUT-OF STATE RESIDENT. IN ORDER FOR THE HOSPITAL TO ASSIST UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS FIND THE MOST APPROPRIATE COVERAGE OPTIONS AS WELL AS DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT IS FINANCIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR ANY DISCOUNTS IN PAYMENTS, PATIENTS MUST ACTIVELY WORK WITH HOSPITALS TO VERIFY THE PATIENT'S DOCUMENTED FAMILY INCOME, OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT COULD BE USED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY. 2. ENROLLMENT IN A PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMHOSPITALS HAVE NO ROLE IN SPECIFICALLY DETERMINING THE ELIGIBILITY FOR ENROLLMENT WITHIN A PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. IN MASSACHUSETTS, INDIVIDUALS APPLY FOR COVERAGE IN MASSHEALTH, THE PREMIUM ASSISTANCE PAYMENT PROGRAM OFFERED THROUGH THE HEALTH CONNECTOR (INCLUDING CONNECTORCARE), HEALTH SAFETY NET, THE CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SECURITY PROGRAM, OR MEDICAL HARDSHIP MUST DO SO THROUGH A SINGLE UNIFORM APPLICATION THAT IS SUBMITTED THROUGH THE STATE'S NEW ENROLLMENT SYSTEM CALLED THE HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE (HIX). THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THE INDIVIDUAL CAN SUBMIT AN APPLICATION THROUGH AN ONLINE WEBSITE (WHICH IS CENTRALLY LOCATED ON THE STATE'S HEALTH CONNECTOR WEBSITE), A PAPER APPLICATION, OR OVER THE PHONE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE LOCATED AT EITHER MASSHEALTH OR THE CONNECTOR. INDIVIDUALS MAY ALSO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL COUNSELORS (CAC -"CERTIFIED APPLICATION COUNSELOR") WITH SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION EITHER ON THE WEBSITE OR THROUGH A PAPER APPLICATION. IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR COVERAGE, THE FOLLOWING PROCESS OCCURS:1. AN INDIVIDUAL IS REQUESTED TO DEVELOP AN ONLINE ACCOUNT FOR USE BY THE STATE TO CONDUCT AN IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL. ONCE THIS IS COMPLETED, THE INDIVIDUAL IS THEN ABLE TO SUBMIT A COMPLETED APPLICATION THROUGH THE HCENTIVE SYSTEM ON THE CONNECTOR WEBSITE. IF THE INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE ONLINE IDENTITY VERIFICATION SYSTEM, THEY CAN SUBMIT A PAPER APPLICATION. OTHER VERIFICATION MAY STILL BE NEEDED, INCLUDING PROOF OF INCOME, RESIDENCY, AND CITIZENSHIP. 2. ONCE THE APPLICATION IS RECEIVED, THE STATE WILL VERIFY THE ELIGIBILITY BY COMPARING THE INDIVIDUALS FINANCIAL AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION TO A FEDERAL DATA SITE AS WELL AS CONDUCTING AN INCOME REVIEW USING A MODIFIED ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME REVIEW. IF NECESSARY, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL ALSO SUBMIT ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION AS REQUESTED BY THE SYSTEM. ONCE THIS OCCURS, THE INDIVIDUAL IS DEEMED:A. ELIGIBLE FOR MASSHEALTH COVERAGE, UPON WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOTIFIED BY MAIL FROM MASSHEALTH, WHICH INCLUDES ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION INCLUDING START DATE AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION; ORB. IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS ELIGIBLE FOR A QUALIFIED HEALTH PLAN THROUGH THE HEALTH CONNECTOR PROGRAM, THEY ARE NOTIFIED OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY AND DIRECTED TO TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS.

A COPY OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES THAT ARE USED BY THE STATE IS ATTACHED TO THE NEBH POLICY.HOSPITALS HAVE NO ROLE IN THE DETERMINATION OF PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY MADE BY THE STATE, BUT AT THE PATIENT'S REQUEST MAY TAKE A DIRECT ROLE IN APPEALING OR SEEKING INFORMATION RELATED TO THE COVERAGE DECISIONS. IT IS STILL THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM THE HOSPITAL OF ALL COVERAGE DECISIONS MADE BY THE STATE TO ENSURE ACCURATE AND TIMELY ADJUDICATION OF ALL HOSPITAL BILLS.

FORM 990, PART I & III:	ORGANIZATION'S MISSION HTTP://WWW.NEBH.ORG/ABOUT-NEBH/MISSION/ NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL WILL TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF THOSE WE SERVE BY PROMOTING WELLNESS, RESTORING FUNCTION, LESSENING DISABILITY, ALLEVIATING PAIN, AND ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE IN MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASES AND RELATED DISORDERS.
FORM 990, PART III LINE 4A-D:	EXEMPT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENTS NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL'S (NEBH OR HOSPITAL) PRIMARY PURPOSE IS THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AN ACUTE CARE, ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL AND PROVISION OF ALL SERVICES RELATED THERETO FOR THE BENEFIT OF PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL OPERATES AS AN ADULT MEDICAL / SURGICAL HOSPITAL WITH A NATIONAL REPUTATION IN ORTHOPEDIC CARE. PATIENTS ARE OFFERED A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES IN ORTHOPEDICS AND RHEUMATOLOGY, JOINT REPLACEMENT, SPINE CARE, FOOT AND ANKLE CARE, HAND SURGERY, OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE AND SPORTS MEDICINE. WE PROVIDE A NUMBER OF QUALITY CLINICAL SERVICES. THESE CLINICAL SERVICES ARE DIVIDED INTO CARE CENTERS. WE HAVE AN ORTHOPEDIC CARE CENTER, AS WELL AS CARE CENTERS FOR MEDICAL, SURGICAL, DIAGNOSTICS AND SUPPORT SERVICES, REHABILITATION SERVICES AND PATIENT CARE. THROUGH OUR CARE CENTERS, OUR PATIENTS RECEIVE NOT ONLY THE FINEST ORTHOPEDIC SERVICES, BUT ALSO DIAGNOSTIC, SURGICAL, MEDICAL AND REHABILITATIVE TREATMENT THAT'S BEYOND COMPARE. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL STRIVES TO PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANCED METHODS OF HEALTH CARE COMBINED WITH COMPASSIONATE, HIGHLY SKILLED AND WELL TRAINED PROVIDERS OF CARE. OUR NURSES AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE FOCUSED ON OUR PATIENTS AND MEETING OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS. THE CARE AND COMFORT OF OUR PATIENTS IS OUR HIGHEST MISSION. CARE TO ALL PATIENTS NEBH IS THE FRONTLINE CAREGIVER PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, THE HOSPITAL OFFERS CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS THAT COME TO OUR FACILITY 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND 365 DAYS A YEAR. NEBH ASSISTS PATIENTS IN OBTAINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND OTHER SOURCES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE. I. MEDICARE: MEDICARE IS THE FEDERALLY SPONSORED HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR ELDERLY OR DISABLED PATIENTS AND NEBH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, 36.9% OR 60,672 OF NEBH'S PATIENT VISITS WERE WITH MEDICARE PATIENTS. THIS TRANSLATED TO $ 67,082,814 IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, HOWEVER, BECAUSE PAYMENTS TO HOSPITALS THROUGH THIS GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PROGRAM HAVE NOT KEPT PACE WITH INFLATION, REVENUE COLLECTED WAS LESS THAN THE COST OF SERVICES BY $16,938,495. ALTHOUGH NEBH CONSIDERS THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, THE ADDITIONAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $16,938,495 IS NOT QUANTIFIED ON PAGE 1 OF THE SCHEDULE H, PER THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS. RATHER IT HAS BEEN SEPARATELY REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H PART III AS REQUIRED. IF NEBH HAD INCLUDED THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN THE CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT CALCULATION, THE PERCENTAGE ON SCHEDULE H WOULD HAVE INCREASED TO 5.10%. II. INPATIENT CARE: NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL CARES FOR ITS PATIENTS IN ITS 118 LICENSED BEDS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015, NEBH ADMITTED 8,214 PATIENTS, INCLUDING: 8,097 SURGICAL ADMISSIONS AND 117 MEDICAL ADMISSIONS; TOTAL DISCHARGES WERE 8,186 PATIENTS; AND TOTAL PATIENT DAYS WERE 24,829. NET INPATIENT REVENUE, NOT INCLUDED IN PART I, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 WAS $ 114,660,708 III. COMMUNITY WALK-IN CLINIC/ AMBULATORY / EMERGENT CARE: ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, NEBH STILL PROVIDES CARE TO ALL WHO NEED URGENT CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. A NEW PATIENT CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM WAS IMPLEMENTED IN MARCH 2016 FOR THE COORDINATION OF CARE OF AMBULATORY PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE NON-SCHEDULED MEDICAL EVALUATION OR TRANSFER TO ANOTHER FACILITY. THE GOAL OF THIS CHANGE WAS TO CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT DELIVERY MODEL WHERE PATIENTS ARE TRIAGED TO THE APPROPRIATE VENUE FOR THEIR CARE DEPENDING UPON THEIR CLINICAL PRESENTATION. CLINICAL RESOURCE NURSE AND HOSPITALIST COLLABORATE TO IDENTIFY VENUE PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF PATIENT WHEN ABLE. THE HOSPITALIST WILL MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO THE BEST PATIENT DISPOSITION. CLINICAL SITUATIONS RECEIVED BY PHONE OR WALK-IN REQUIRING EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ARE DIRECTED TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, SUCH AS BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A RELATED AFFILIATE AND TERTIARY CARE ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER WHICH OPERATES A LEVEL 1 TRAUMA EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK. ALL PATIENTS WHO COME TO NEBH, AND WHO CAN BE ADEQUATELY TREATED AT NEBH, ARE TREATED AND NOT TRANSFERRED, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR CARE. OUTPATIENT STATISTICS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS: PATIENT VISITS TO NEBH'S OUTPATIENT CLINICS AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS TOTALED OVER 132,000 DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015. THIS INCLUDES VISITS TO NEBH'S OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE, SPINE CLINIC, PAIN CLINIC, AMBULATORY, RADIOLOGY, LAB, PHYSICAL THERAPY AND OTHER ANCILLARY DEPARTMENTS.
