SHOULD ANY SUCH PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE INCURRED, THEY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS OPERATING EXPENSES. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF MANAGEMENT'S EVALUATION, NO LIABILITY IS RECOGNIZED IN THE ACCOMPANYING BALANCE SHEET FOR UNRECOGNIZED INCOME TAX POSITIONS. FURTHER, NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES HAVE BEEN ACCRUED OR CHARGED TO EXPENSE AS OF JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014 OR FOR THE YEARS THEN ENDED.

RECOGNIZING THAT MOST OF THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH EXIST OUTSIDE THE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE OF THE HEALTH SECTOR, TANNER REACHED OUT TO MUTUALLY SUPPORTIVE EFFORTS TO OBTAIN A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE POLICIES, ENVIRONMENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE REGION TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS IDENTIFIED BARRIERS TO HEALTH. WITH THIS INFORMATION, TANNER ESTABLISHED GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL IN 2012, A MULTI-SECTOR COALITION (WITH 24 TASK FORCES CONSISTING OF MORE THAN 550 COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS AND MORE THAN 160 LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL PARTNERS) THAT IS ENGAGING PEOPLE, IDEAS AND RESOURCES ACROSS MULTIPLE SETTINGS (COMMUNITY, EARLY CHILDCARE, FAITH- BASED, HEALTHCARE, SCHOOL AND WORK SITE) TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A VARIETY OF EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE CHRONIC DISEASE RISKS FOR THE 151,000 RESIDENTS OF CARROLL, HARALSON AND HEARD COUNTIES BY DECREASING HEALTH DISPARITIES, REDUCING OBESITY RATES, ELIMINATING TOBACCO USE, INCREASING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND IMPROVING NUTRITION.

TO SOLIDIFY THESE EFFORTS, TANNER ESTABLISHED A NEW COMMUNITY BENEFIT DEPARTMENT WITH A STAFF OF DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE WORKING WITH GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL'S NETWORK OF ESTABLISHED TASK FORCES AND VOLUNTEERS TO IDENTIFY ONGOING NEEDS AND DEVELOP SERVICES TO REACH THE TOTAL POPULATION. FOR ITS EXEMPLARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, TANNER HEALTH SYSTEM RECEIVED THE GEORGIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AWARD IN JULY 2014, ALONG WITH RECEIVING THE GEORGIA ALLIANCE OF COMMUNITY HOSPITAL'S LARGE HOSPITAL OF THE YEAR AWARD IN OCTOBER 2014.

GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL LED A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS IN WEST GEORGIA DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015. THE COALITION CONTINUED TO WORK WITH ITS WEST GEORGIA REGIONAL FOOD SYSTEM COLLABORATIVE TO WORK ON UNDERSTANDING THE SYSTEMIC INFRASTRUCTURE, POLICY ISSUES AND ECONOMIC CONCERNS THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED TO MAKE HEALTHY FOOD MORE VIABLE IN WEST GEORGIA. THE GROUP INCLUDES MORE THAN 30 REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING LOCAL FARMERS, BUSINESS AND RESTAURANT OWNERS, CHEFS, SCHOOL NUTRITION DIRECTORS, MASTER GARDENERS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015, ITS TASK FORCES HAVE CONDUCTED STUDIES ON FOOD INSECURITY FOR RURAL RESIDENTS, DEVELOPED A LOCAL FARM AND FOOD RESOURCE GUIDE, DEVELOPED EDUCATIONAL POINT OF PURCHASE MATERIALS TO IMPROVE THE INTAKE AND PURCHASE OF HEALTHY FOOD/MENU ITEMS IN LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND CONVENIENCE STORES, WORKED WITH THREE LOCAL SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE THE AVAILABILITY OF AND CONSUMPTION OF HEALTHY LUNCHES, AND OFFERED TRAININGS TO AREA NUTRITION DIRECTORS/MANAGERS TO FACILITATE SUCCESSFUL POLICY IMPLEMENTATION OF IMPROVED NUTRITION STANDARDS THROUGH THE HEALTHY, HUNGER FREE KIDS ACT AND SMART SNACK GUIDELINES. THE COLLABORATIVE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN DOUBLE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) BENEFITS AT TWO AREA FARMERS' MARKETS. GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL ALSO SUPPORTED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POWER OF PRODUCE (POP) CLUBS AT TWO AREA FARMERS MARKETS TO EMPOWER KIDS TO MAKE HEALTHIER FOOD CHOICES (EVERY TIME KIDS AGES 4 TO 12 COME TO THE FARMERS MARKET AND PARTICIPATE IN A FUN ACTIVITY, THEY RECEIVE 2 TO SPEND ON FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES). SIX POP CLUB PROGRAMS IMPLEMENTED DURING MAY AND JUNE 2015 GARNERED 156 VISITS BY PARTICIPANTS. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL AND ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS PLANTED 16 NEW GARDEN BEDS (FOUR GARDENS) AT FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN WEST GEORGIA. SINCE 2013, GET HEALTHY, LIVE WELL HAS PLANTED A TOTAL OF 66 GARDEN BEDS (16 GARDENS) THROUGHOUT CARROLL, HARALSON AND HEARD COUNTIES, WITH GARDENS BEING PLANTED AT CHURCHES WITH PRIMARILY LOW-INCOME MEMBERS, AT LOCAL SCHOOLS AND PARKS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES AND AT YOUTH CENTERS SERVING ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED KIDS AND TEENS. EACH GROUP HAS RECEIVED ASSISTANCE WITH GARDEN PLANNING, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY PLANS.

PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES AT TANNER, EFFORTS TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES GO BEYOND PROVIDING HEALTH SERVICES. TANNER TAKES A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND THE UNDERLYING ROOT CAUSES OF POOR HEALTH, SUPPORTING THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S DEFINITION OF HEALTH AS A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING AND NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE OR INFIRMITY. TANNER PROVIDES A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES TO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY'S CAPACITY TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF WELL-BEING OF ITS RESIDENTS. REPRESENTING SOME OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, TANNER'S HOSPITALS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN AND CONTRIBUTE TO LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS AIMED AT ENSURING THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH AND STABILITY OF THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. TANNER PARTICIPATES IN AND SUPPORTS YOUTH PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS, ENHANCE ACADEMIC SUCCESS, IMPROVE HEALTH, CULTIVATE COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY AND OFFER CAREER EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES. TANNER ACTIVELY ENGAGES IN HEALTH CAREER MENTORING PROGRAMS, SUCH AS THE TANNER CONNECTIONS AND TEENS IN ACTION PROGRAMS, A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN TANNER AND LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS THAT PROVIDE UNPAID INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES THAT GIVE AREA STUDENTS A LOOK INSIDE HEALTHCARE CAREERS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, WHILE EARNING HIGH SCHOOL COURSE CREDIT. DURING THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, 42 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN TANNER CONNECTIONS AND TEENS IN ACTION PROGRAMS. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS SUCH AS KEEP CARROLL BEAUTIFUL, THERE ARE ONGOING EFFORTS BY TANNER TO REDUCE COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS IN THE AIR, WATER AND GROUND, AS WELL AS THE SAFE REMOVAL OF OTHER TOXIC WASTE PRODUCTS. TANNER PROVIDES SUPPORT TO SEVERAL LOCAL ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROMOTE THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH AND SAFETY.

THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA'S NURSING PROGRAM, WHICH IS NAMED THE TANNER HEALTH SYSTEM SCHOOL OF NURSING, IS USING AN INVESTMENT FROM TANNER TO ENHANCE ITS FACILITIES WHILE OFFERING SCHOLARSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE IN WEST GEORGIA AND EAST ALABAMA INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN NURSING. PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY AMOUNTS INCLUDED ON PART III LINE 2 REPRESENT THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES CONSIDERED UNCOLLECTIBLE AFTER REASONABLE ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT, AND WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE MEDICAL CENTER RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE MEDICAL CENTERS ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS WAS 97.8% AND 97.5% FOR FISCAL YEARS 2015 AND 2014, RESPECTIVELY. IN ADDITION, THE MEDICAL CENTERS SELFPAY WRITE-OFFS INCREASED APPROXIMATELY 2,000,000 FROM 50,000,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 TO 52,000,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015. THE INCREASE WAS A RESULT OF AN OVERALL INCREASE IN REVENUES FOR FY 2015, WHICH INCLUDED UNINSURED SELF-PAY PATIENTS. THE MEDICAL CENTER DID NOT CHANGE ITS CHARITY CARE OR UNINSURED DISCOUNT POLICIES DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015. THE MEDICAL CENTER DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, NOR DID IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE-OFFS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE COMPUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH COST REPORTING METHODOLOGIES UTILIZED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH RELATED REGULATIONS. INDIRECT COSTS ARE ALLOCATED TO DIRECT SERVICE AREAS USING THE MOST APPROPRIATE STATISTICAL BASIS. PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY FOR A CHARITY WRITE OFF ARE ONLY HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PORTION REMAINING AFTER WRITE OFF. PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY AS INDIGENT RECEIVE A 100% WRITE OFF AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PORTION OF THEIR BILL. PATIENTS APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RECEIVE A LETTER OF NOTIFICATION AND WALLET CARD THAT IS GOOD FOR ONE YEAR FROM THE DETERMINATION DATE. INTEREST FREE INSTALLMENT PLANS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL PATIENTS AND PAYMENT AMOUNTS ARE DETERMINED BY THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT TANNER MEDICAL CENTER, INC. (TMC) ASSESSES THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. THIS INFORMATION IS UTILIZED IN DEVELOPING A STRATEGY TO ADDRESS PRIORITIZED NEEDS AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY TMC SERVES.

THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS, TMC HAS IDENTIFIED THE GREATEST HEALTH NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY, ENABLING TMC TO ENSURE ITS RESOURCES ARE APPROPRIATELY DIRECTED TOWARDS OUTREACH, PREVENTION, EDUCATION AND WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES, WHERE THE GREATEST IMPACT CAN BE REALIZED. IN SELECTING PRIORITIES, TMC CONSIDERED THE DEGREE OF COMMUNITY NEED FOR ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, THE CAPACITY OF OTHER AGENCIES TO MEET THE NEED AND THE SUITABILITY OF TMC'S EXPERTISE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IN PARTICULAR, TMC LOOKED FOR HEALTH NEEDS THAT REQUIRE A COORDINATED RESPONSE ACROSS A RANGE OF HEALTHCARE AND COMMUNITY SECTORS. RESPONDING TO KEY CHNA FINDINGS, THE PRIORITY AREAS TO BE ADDRESSED DURING FISCAL YEARS 2014-2016 BY TMC INCLUDED: (1) ACCESS TO CARE; (2) CHRONIC DISEASE EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT; AND (3) MENTAL HEALTH. PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE TMC PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY/INDIGENT PROGRAM AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION AND ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE.

PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA FOR MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY ARE REFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE VENDOR FOR ASSISTANCE. A PATIENT WITH FAMILY INCOME UP TO 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (FPG) BASED ON FAMILY SIZE RECEIVES A 100% DISCOUNT FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. PATIENTS WITH LARGE, MEDICALLY NECESSARY MEDICAL BILLS, WHICH HAVE CREATED A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, ARE CONSIDERED FOR A SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT. THE LOWER THE PATIENT'S DISCRETIONARY INCOME AND THE HIGHER THE HEALTHCARE BILLS ALLOWS FOR MORE CHARITY ALLOWANCE.
