THESE COSTS ARE THEN AGGREGATED AT THE PATIENT LEVEL AND TABULATED BY PAYOR TYPE. NO COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE USED IN THE CALCULATIONS.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	43,014,968 BAD DEBT EXPENSE REMOVED FROM TOTAL EXPENSES PRIOR TO CALCULATING PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE.
PART I, LINE 6A:	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT: THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC CONTAINS COMMUNITY BENEFITS FOR ALL RELATED ORGANIZATIONS TO THE HOSPITAL.
PART I, LINE 7H:	RESEARCH ACTIVITIES: CAROMONT HEALTH IS INVOLVED IN APPROXIMATELY 75 RESEARCH STUDIES, APPROXIMATELY FORTY PERCENT OF WHICH ARE CLINICAL TRIALS COOPERATIVE GROUP PROGRAM STUDIES SPONSORED BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI). CAROMONT HEALTH ALSO PARTICIPATES IN DRUG AND DEVICE STUDIES SPONSORED BY VARIOUS PHARMACEUTICAL, BIOTECHNOLOGY, AND DEVICE COMPANIES, AS WELL AS UNFUNDED NURSING AND PHARMACY RESEARCH STUDIES.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT - CAROMONT HEALTH'S RECRUITMENT OF PHYSICIANS INTO THE FIVE COUNTIES THE SYSTEM SERVES IS DRIVEN BY THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF HEALTHCARE REFORM. THE SYSTEM RECRUITS BASED ON A MEDICAL STAFF DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT IDENTIFIES COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE NEEDS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE SYSTEM'S GOAL IS TO BE PRO-ACTIVE AND ANTICIPATORY SO THAT THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE MET IN A QUALITY DRIVEN AND CONVENIENT MANNER.
PART III, LINE 4:	LINE 2: TOTAL CHARGES AND THE CHARGES WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WERE TABULATED AT THE PATIENT LEVEL AND ARE REPORTED AT THE AMOUNT CHARGED TO PATIENTS. ACCOUNTS ARE RESERVED AS BAD DEBT BASED ON AN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AGING METHODOLOGY. WHEN ACCOUNTS ARE SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY, THEY ARE WRITTEN OFF THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SYSTEM. ANY SUBSEQUENT COLLECTIONS ON THE ACCOUNTS ARE POSTED AS RECOVERIES AND REDUCE THE EXPENSE. ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS RECEIVE A DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILL, WHICH IS RECORDED AS A CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENT. THE AMOUNT OF THE UNINSURED DISCOUNTS ARE EXCLUDED FROM BAD DEBT EXPENSE. LINE 3: CHARGES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ARE EVALUATED FOR CHARITY BASED ON MEANS TESTING. CHARGES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED ELSEWHERE IN THE HOSPITAL ARE EVALUATED FOR CHARITY BASED ON MEANS TESTING AND/OR APPLICATIONS FILED BY THE PATIENTS. IF NO MEANS TESTING IS DONE AND NO APPLICATION IS FILED, THE UNPAID AMOUNT IS WRITTEN-OFF TO BAD DEBT. THE % OF PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WAS APPLIED TO THE REMAINDER OF THE HOSPITAL TO DETERMINE THE % OF BAD DEBT PATIENTS WHO COULD HAVE BEEN CHARITY.LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN A FOOTNOTE ON BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED AS A DEDUCTION FROM PATIENT REVENUE.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE MEDICARE COST REPORT STANDARD COSTING METHODOLOGY WAS FOLLOWED WHEN FILING THE COST REPORT. THIS IS A STEP DOWN METHODOLOGY THAT APPLIES THE AVERAGE PATIENT COST TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE COST REPORT ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW HOSPITALS TO REPORT ALL OPERATING COSTS. BECAUSE OF THESE TWO ISSUES, THE MEDICARE COST REPORT METHODOLOGY UNDERSTATES THE TRUE COST OF TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS. USING TOTAL COSTS FROM MEDICARE PATIENTS, THE HOSPITAL HAD AN ACTUAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $13.4 MILLION.
PART III, LINE 9B:	THE POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BELOW IS VERBIAGE FROM THE CHARITY POLICY:CAROMONT REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER OFFERS MEDICAL SERVICES FREE OR AT A REDUCED RATE THROUGH THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM. DETERMINATION OF FULL OR PARTIAL CHARITY CARE WILL BE BASED ON THE PATIENT'S INCOME, FAMILY SIZE, AND ASSETS. POTENTIAL ELIGIBILITY EXISTS ONLY AFTER REIMBURSEMENT EFFORTS FROM ALL OTHER THIRD PARTY RESOURCES, FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED.
PART VI, LINE 2:	CAROMONT HEALTH ESTABLISHES COMMUNITY PRIORITIES THROUGH A NUMBER OF MECHANISMS:- LEADERSHIP OPINIONS ARE SOUGHT TO HELP IDENTIFY NEEDED SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY VIA PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE GASTON COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES, LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND OTHER HEALTH-FOCUSED ENTITIES.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: CAROMONT HEALTH IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM HEADQUARTERED IN GASTONIA, NC THAT PROVIDES INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT MEDICAL SERVICES WITHIN FIVE COUNTIES AND TWO STATES. CAROMONT HEALTH EMPLOYS NEARLY 4,000 HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WITH A MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERSHIP OF MORE THAN 450. CAROMONT REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, A MAGNET DESIGNATED 435-BED ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL, IS THE ANCHOR OF CAROMONT HEALTH AND FEATURES A STATE-OF-THE-ART CANCER CENTER, BIRTHPLACE AND NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, AS WELL AS A LEVEL III TRAUMA CENTER AND A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM OF CARE. AS AN INNOVATIVE LEADER IN HEALTH CARE, CAROMONT HEALTH HAS BEEN AWARDED MANY TOP HONORS IN 2014. SOME KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2014 INCLUDE BEING NAMED A 100 TOP HOSPITAL BY BECKER'S HOSPITAL REVIEW AND A BEST REGIONAL HOSPITAL BY THE U. S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT. ADDITIONALLY, CAROMONT HEALTH WAS RECOGNIZED BY PREVENTION PARTNERS FOR OUR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE WELLNESS PROGRAMS TO OUR EMPLOYEES, EARNING US THE HEALTHCARE IN EXCELLENCE AWARD. CAROMONT HEALTH'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, AND WE STRIVE TO FULFILL THAT MISSION EVERY DAY. THIS REPORT IS INTENDED TO SHARE SOME OF THE MANY WAYS THAT CAROMONT HEALTH GIVES BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY. INTERNAL PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY CARE CAROMONT HEALTH HAS PROVIDED HEALTH CARE TO RESIDENTS OF GASTONIA, GASTON COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS. WHETHER IT IS THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, CARE MODEL OR WELLNESS INITIATIVE, CAROMONT HEALTH IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE AND PROVIDE OUR COMMUNITY THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. RESEARCH PROGRAMS CAROMONT HEALTH PARTICIPATED IN A NUMBER OF NATIONAL RESEARCH TRIALS AND PROGRAMS IN 2014. CAROMONT INVESTED $1.5 MILLION, $809,000 OF WHICH WAS UNREIMBURSED, IN THESE PROGRAMS FOR TREATMENTS, PROCEDURES, MEDICATIONS AND STAFF TIME. RESEARCH PROGRAMS ARE THE KEY TO INNOVATION AND ADVANCEMENT IN HEALTH CARE AND CAROMONT HEALTH IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING OUR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS IN THE PURSUIT OF NEW TREATMENTS. PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT & RETENTION CAROMONT BOASTS A ROBUST AND TALENTED MEDICAL STAFF OF MORE THAN 450 PHYSICIANS. MANY CAROMONT HEALTH PHYSICIANS, FROM A NUMBER OF DISCIPLINES, ARE RECOGNIZED REGIONALLY AND NATIONALLY FOR THEIR WORK AND ACHIEVEMENTS. CAROMONT HEALTH CONSISTENTLY SEEKS TO RECRUIT LEADERS IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE AND INVESTS IN THE MEDICAL STAFF IN A NUMBER OF WAYS, INCLUDING ATTENDANCE AT INDUSTRY CONFERENCES AND OFFERING CONTINUING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2014, CAROMONT INVESTED $804,374 TO RECRUIT, TRAIN AND RETAIN HIGHLY-SKILLED PHYSICIANS TO PROVIDE NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED, HIGH-QUALITY CARE. UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF CARE IN 2014, CAROMONT HEALTH HAD $67.8 MILLION IN UNREIMBURSED HEALTH CARE COSTS. THIS AMOUNT COVERS ALL FORMS OF UNREIMBURSED CARE, INCLUDING MORE THAN $11.7 MILLION IN CHARITY CARE, $37.6 MILLION IN MEDICARE AND MEDICAID LOSSES, AND $18.5 IN BAD DEBT. CAROMONT PROVIDES CARE TO ALL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE CHARITY CARE AND BAD DEBT TOTALS REFLECT THE AMOUNT THAT IS NOT REIMBURSED, EITHER BY THE INABILITY OR CHOICE NOT TO PAY. THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID LOSSES REFLECT THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED THAT WAS NOT PAID FOR BY EITHER THE APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM OR THE PATIENT. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES & INVESTMENTS CAROMONT HEALTH IS ACTIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY IN A NUMBER OF WAYS INCLUDING DONATIONS, INVESTMENTS AND VOLUNTEERISM. IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, CAROMONT INVESTED MORE THAN $3 MILLION IN OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES, COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS, DONATIONS, AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS OF GOODS AND SERVICES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2014, CAROMONT PROVIDED $300,000 TO GASTON FAMILY HEALTH SERVICES, A LOCAL FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE CLINIC THAT PROVIDES HEALTHCARE, HEALTH EDUCATION, AND PREVENTIVE CARE SERVICES TO PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARDS TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. STUDENT EDUCATION CAROMONT HEALTH ALSO INVESTS HEAVILY IN THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE BY INVESTING IN THE EDUCATION OF LOCAL HEALTH CARE STUDENTS. IN 2014, CAROMONT INVESTED $3.8 MILLION TO COVER THE COSTS OF STUDENT ROTATIONS AND EDUCATION. THIS INCLUDES THE USE OF EQUIPMENT, STAFF AND INSTRUCTOR TIME, AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE CURRICULA. SPONSORSHIPS & PARTNERSHIPS CAROMONT HEALTH IS ALWAYS SEEKING ACTIVE PARTNERS IN OUR JOURNEY TOWARD ACHIEVING BETTER COMMUNITY HEALTH. ONE OF THE WAYS WE IDENTIFY THESE PARTNERS IS THROUGH THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM. IN 2014 WE WERE PROUD TO PARTNER WITH SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING: BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF GREATER GASTON, COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GASTON COUNTY, HEART SOCIETY OF GASTON COUNTY, HOLY ANGELS AND OTHERS. IN ADDITION TO THESE SPONSORED EVENTS, OUR WELLNESS DEPARTMENT IS ACTIVE WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COUNTY. THESE ACTIVITIES TAKE THE FORM OF HEALTH FAIRS, LUNCH AND LEARNS, FAITH AND HEALTH MINISTRY, PHYSICIAN PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNITY WELLNESS CHALLENGES. PATIENT ADVOCACY - ENROLLMENT ASSISTANCE CAROMONT REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER HAS DEVELOPED A PROGRAM TO ASSIST UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH ENROLLMENT IN PUBLIC PROGRAMS. SEVERAL EMPLOYEES ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WITH ENROLLMENT IN MEDICAID, MEDICARE, NC HEALTH CHOICE, CRIME VICTIMS PROGRAMS, FOOD STAMPS, VOCATIONAL REHAB, PUBLIC HOUSING, PRESCRIPTION PROGRAMS, MEALS ON WHEELS AND ADULT SERVICES THROUGH DSS. THE TOTAL COST TO CAROMONT HEALTH FOR THIS PROGRAM IS $381,120. EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT & SUPPORT CAROMONT HEALTH EMPLOYEES ARE ALSO AMBASSADORS FOR OUR MESSAGE OF WELLNESS AND GOODWILL. IN 2014, OUR EMPLOYEES WERE A DRIVING FORCE IN RAISING FUNDS AND DONATIONS FOR SEVERAL CAUSES, INCLUDING: 2014 CAROMONT HEART WALK ON MAY 1, MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED WALKERS GATHERED ON THE FRONT LAWN OF CAROMONT REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER FOR THE 11TH ANNUAL HEART WALK.

SEVERAL MEMBERS OF OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM SERVE ON LOCAL BOARDS AND WORK CLOSELY WITH PARTNER GROUPS, SUCH AS GASTON TOGETHER AND HEALTHNET GASTON, TO BETTER THE HEALTH OF GASTON COUNTY. THESE TIES TO THE COMMUNITY HELP US PAINT A CLEARER PICTURE OF THE RESIDENTS NEEDS, ALLOWING US TO TAILOR OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO BEST MEET THOSE NEEDS.
