Baystate Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 1j: The CHNA report also described collaborating organizations. BMC collaborated with each of the hospital facilities that are members of the Coalition of Western Massachusetts Hospitals for its CHNA. BMC also collaborated with organizations that participated in a "Design Team" established by the Coalition. Representatives from the Collaborative for Community Health, Inc., the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and the Springfield Department of Health and Human Services participated on this Team. Many individuals provided input for this assessment. Lists of interviewees are included in the report.
Baystate Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 3: Community input was gathered through interviews, a community survey, and community listening sessions. Interviews were conducted with public health experts, representatives of health, social services, or other departments or agencies, community leaders, health care providers, and persons representing the broad interests of the community. The interviews were structured to help identify the most pressing health status and access issues in the community. BMC also sought input from the public regarding the health of the community through an online and paper-based survey. A website link to the survey (in both English and Spanish) was made available from January through February 2013. Paper copies of the survey were distributed at various local organizations and clinics in multiple languages. Efforts were made to reach those without internet access as well as vulnerable populations such as racial and ethnic minorities, low-income groups, individuals with low literacy levels, and non-English speakers. The survey was publicized via flyers, social media, human services organizations, boards of health, newspapers, email listservs, and other methods. A listening session was held during which community members reviewed and discussed preliminary findings from this assessment. Discussion at the listening session was helpful in that it validated assessment findings and contributed to the prioritization process. The survey consisted of 48 questions about a range of health status and access issues and respondent demographic characteristics. 1,321 residents from the Baystate community completed the survey. Seventy-four percent of respondents were female and 49 percent were between the ages of 45 and 64. Seventy-two percent were White and 98 percent did not identify as Hispanic (or Latino). The majority of respondents reported being in good or very good overall health (70 percent), married (50 percent), employed full time (61 percent), privately insured (67 percent), and having an undergraduate degree or higher (53 percent). The majority (83 percent) of respondents speak English in the home. Spanish was the top non-English language reported. Seven percent of respondents reported that they spoke multiple languages at home. Survey responses were received from residents of 43 of the Baystate community's 51 ZIP codes. Although the survey garnered many respondents, the sample is not representative of the community and the results are not generalizable to the community as a whole. 1,321 residents in Baystate's community responded to the community survey. Key informant interviews were conducted face-to-face and by telephone by Mark Rukavina, Principal at Community Health Advisors, LLC. The interviews were designed to gain perspective into health needs in the community served by Baystate. A total of 39 local key informants, including external and internal stakeholders (those affiliated or employed by Baystate Medical Center) were interviewed during December 2012 through February 2013. In addition, 10 staff members from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health regional office in Northampton also were interviewed as a part of this assessment. These interviews were conducted using a structured questionnaire. Informants were asked to discuss community health issues and encouraged to look broadly at the social determinants of health. Interviewees were asked about issues related to health care access, changes in community population, prevalence of chronic health conditions, and health disparities. The frequency with which community health issues was mentioned and the interviewees' perceptions of the significance of each concern were assessed.The 49 stakeholders were comprised of public health experts; individuals from health or other departments and agencies; leaders or representatives of medically underserved, low-income, and minority populations; and other community members. In addition, 18 community members participated in the CHNA listening sessions.
Baystate Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 4: Baystate Medical Center is a member of the Coalition of Western Massachusetts Hospitals, a partnership between eight (8) not-for-profit hospitals in western Massachusetts; Baystate Medical Center, Baystate Franklin Medical Center, Baystate Mary Lane Hospital, Baystate Wing Hospital, Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Holyoke Medical Center, Mercy Medical Center (a member of Sisters of Providence Health System), Shriners Hospitals for Children - Springfield, and Health New England, a local health insurer whose service areas covers the four counties of western Massachusetts. The Coalition, formed in 2012 to bring hospitals within western Massachusetts together to share resources and work in partnership to identify and address the health needs of their communites through regional community health assessments. Following feedback from key community stakeholders during the community health needs assessment process, the Coalition has taken its unique collaboration to the next level by identifying a shared health priority that it will address in partnership across the region. The shared health priority the Coalition selected was behavioral health.
Baystate Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 5d: Baystate Medical Center made its CHNA report widely available to the public via an email distribution, with links to the hospital's website, to all key informant interviewees, listening session participants and an internal communication to hospital employees.

Baystate Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 6i: For more information about Baystate Medical Center's Community Benefit Implementation Strategy, as related to the hospitals 2013 CHNA, and adopted by the hospital's Board of Trustees, please visit:http://www.baystatehealth.org/StaticFiles/Baystate/About%20Us/Community%20Programs/Community%20Health%20Planning/Community%20Benefits%20Program/BMC-Implementation-Strategy.pdf.
Baystate Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 7: No community hospital facility can address all of the health needs present in its community. BMC is committed to adhering to its mission and remaining financially healthy so that it can continue to enhance its clinical excellence and to provide a wide range of community benefits. The Strategy does not address the following community health needs identified in the 2013 CHNA due to no new funding or resources, other hospitals or community organizations within service area are already addressing the need or the need falls outside of the hospitals' mission or capacity.Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Disease Morbidity and Mortality: the hospital understands the connection between institutional racism and ethnic and racial health disparities and has committed DoN resources (see Section C and Appendix A of BMC Implementation Strategy) to fund local undoing racism education and training. Lack of Access to Dental Care: pediatric dental access is being addressed through Partners for aHealthier Community's BEST Oral Health Initiative (see Section 4b of BMC Implementation Strategy). High Rates of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Use: a variety of existing community-based non-profits and agencies are addressing these needs, including, but not limited to: Behavioral Health Net, Center for Human Development, City of Springfield Tobacco Program, Gandara, and the Mason Square Drug Free Task Force. High Rates of Unsafe Sex, Teen Pregnancy, and Chlamydia: Teen pregnancy is being addressed through the efforts of the YEAH! Network and the Springfield Pregnant and Parenting Teens Collaborative (see Section 4b of BMC Implementation Strategy) as well as the City of Springfield's Springfield Adolescent Sexual Health Advisory Committee and the Community Health Network Area #4's Springfield Adolescent Health Project. Pediatric Disability: hospital clinicians and staff co-lead and participate in the Medical Home Workgroup for Children with Special Needs. As part of its regular service line, the hospital has a new Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Department (see section 6 of BMC Implementation Strategy). High Rates of Asthma: being addressed through Partners for a Healthier Community and the Pioneer Valley Asthma Coalition (see Section 4b of BMC Implementation Strategy). Poor Built Environment and Environmental Quality: being addressed through Partners for a Healthier Community's Live Well Springfield and Healthy Environment, Healthy Springfield Initiatives (see Section 4b of BMC Implementation Strategy).

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I, Line 6a:Baystate Medical Center files an annual community benefit report electronically with the Massachusetts Attorney General's office via their website at http://www.cbsys.ago.state.ma.us/cbpublic/public/hccbindex.aspx. Baystate Medical Center's annual community benefit report is available to the public via the Massachusetts Attorney General's website (see above) and via Baystate Health's website http://www.baystatehealth.org/Baystate/Main+Nav/About+Us/Community+Programs/Community+Health+Planning/Community+Benefits+Program. Our community benefit report provides the Attorney General's Office and the general public important information about how Baystate Medical Center partners with our communities to identify and address unmet health needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable populations in support of our charitable mission.
Part I, Line 7:Line 7a (Charity Care) - community benefit expense was calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges, calculated on Worksheet 2, against total charity care gross patient charges from the audited financial statements.Line 7b (Unreimbursed Medicaid) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under Medicaid and Medicaid managed care plans.Line 7c (Other Means-Tested Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system, which takes into account all hospital inpatients, outpatients and emergency room patients for whom services were provided and covered under other means-tested government programs.Line 7f (Health Professional Education) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system.Line 7g (Subsidized Programs) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system. The expense relates to specific outpatient programs.Line 7h (Research) - community benefit expense was derived using the organization's cost accounting system. In addition to the research costs reported on line 7h, there was $1,176,633 of expenses related to Industry-sponsored grants that we believe should be treated as community benefit expense because they were incurred to promote the health and well-being of the local population and are a key component of our commitment to the community.
Part I, Line 7g:There are no costs attributable to physician clinics reported as subsidized health services in Part I, line 7g.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):In fiscal year 2013, the organization adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954), Presentation and disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities on October 1, 2012. The update changed how the provision for bad debts is reported on the audited financial statements. In prior years it was included with total operating expenses, and subtracted from total expenses reported in Part IX, Line 25, column (A) for the purpose of calculating the percentages in Part I, Line 7, column (f). Beginning in 2013, the provision for bad debts was reported as a deduction to net patient service revenue. The 2014 provision for bad debts totalled $14,768,939 and is not included in total expenses reported in Part IX, LIne 25, column (A) for the purpose of calculating the percentages in Part 1, LIne 7, column (f).
Part II, Community Building Activities:Specific to Part II Baystate Medical Center provided $100,000 to the North End Housing Initiative (NEHI) with the goal of increasing the quantity, quality and healthfulness of affordable single and duplex family housing for low income families with young children in the North End neighborhoods of Springfield, Massachusetts. A portion of the funding is also used to leverage additional funding to write grants for projects what will assist the NEHI to achieve its mission. In addition to providing additional housing in the North End, NEHI also provides homebuyer and financial literacy courses to North End households and maximizes economic opportunities for minority-owned businesses within NEHI construction projects. The NEHI improves the public health of the community by providing greater access to healthy homes, reducing the prevalence of asthma in young children, increasing housing stability and creating safer and more beautiful neighborhoods through affordable homeownership. The following description is not quantified specifically in Part II of Schedule H. Baystate Medical Center provided $100,000 as a Voluntary Contribution to the City of Springfield, specifically to fund public health initiatives under the Department of Health and Human Services. Baystate Medical Center provided $111,337.92 as a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) to the City of Springfield for our outpatient facility at 3300 Main Street, Springfield. Baystate Medical Center provided $35,753.62 as a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) to the City of Chicopee for our employee parking lot located at Center Street, Chicopee. Baystate Medical Center is a dues paying member of the Economic Development Council of Western Massachusetts (EDC) and the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield (ACCGS). BMC participates in the EDC and ACCGS as we are the largest local employer in our region. The Chamber and its membership coordinate activities toward a common purpose of sustainability and economic growth for the region. The amount paid for FY 2014 was $83,949.Baystate Medical Center is committed to creating healthier communities and understands that many state and federally mandated community benefit programs and services are not sufficient to address ethnic, racial and economic health disparities. BMC extends the traditional definition of "health" to include economic opportunity, affordable housing, quality education, safe neighborhoods, food security, arts/culture, and racism and homophobia free communities - all elements that are needed for individuals, families and communities to thrive. Baystate Medical Center provides many valuable services, resources, programs and financial support - beyond the walls of the hospital and into the communities and homes of the people we serve; including sponsorships for more than 200 non-profit community organizations and events and involvement of Baystate leadership with over 70 community boards that align with our mission.
Part III, Line 4:The cost of bad debts reported in Part III, line 2 was calculated by applying a ratio of cost to charges (based on the organization's cost accounting system including all hospital inpatients and outpatients) against total patient bad debt net of recoveries as reported in the audited financial statements. The portion of bad debt that reasonably could be attributable to patients who may qualify for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care program (reported in Part III line 3) was calculated by applying the percentage of bad debts by zip code (for which the average household income for each zip code is less than 200% of the federal poverty level) to the total cost of bad debt reported in Part III line 2. Since this portion of bad debt is attributable to patients residing in an area where the average income is less than 200% of the Federal poverty level, it is highly likely these patients would have qualified for the organization's charity care program had they applied. For this reason, we believe the amount, totalling $2,061,315, should be treated as community benefit expense in Part I. As noted above, the organization adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-07 effective October 1, 2012, which changed the way entities report and disclose certain financial information including the provision for bad debts. See footnote #2 (Significant Accounting Policies) on page 12 of the audited financial statements under the caption "Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts" for a description of the organization's reporting of its provision for bad debts.If a patient is determined eligible for financial assistance, the appropriate adjustment is made to the patient account based on their income level. Once the necessary approvals are obtained, it then flows to the general ledger. Patients applying for a prompt payment discount will have this allowance entered after agreed upon payment is received.
Part III, Line 8:Line 6 - included all Medicare allowable costs as calculated in Worksheets D-1 Part II (inpatient and inpatient psych), D Part V (outpatient) and E Part A (organ acquisition) of the hospital's 2014 Medicare cost report, net of Medicare costs reported in Part 1, line 7g, and based on Medicare costing principles. There is no shortfall reported on line 7.
Part III, Line 9b:For patients who are known to qualify for Charity Care or Financial Assistance: The patient may have requested assistance up front at time of service with a Financial Counselor or the Patient could have asked for assistance after receiving their bill by contacting our Patient Billing Services Representatives. The Financial Counselor will assist the patient in applying for the appropriate type of assistance based on their income and circumstances. Once approved for a State Medicaid or other program, all billing and collection activity will stop (except for required co-payments or deductibles).For all other patients, our statements contain information regarding how to apply for financial assistance. Notices concerning availability for assistance are also posted at patient care sites.
Part VI, Line 2:In partnership with the Coalition of Western MA Hospitals, Baystate Medical Center conducted its most recent community health needs assessment (CHNA) in 2013 of the geographic areas served by the hospital pursuant to the requirements of the MA Attorney General's Community Benefit Guidelines and Section 501(r) of the Internal Revenue Code. The CHNA findings were made available on the hospital's website in September 2013. Per the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General, each non-profit hospital must conduct a formal community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three-years in partnership with community organizations and individuals across the hospital's service area. The aim is to identify community assets as well as the critical gaps/needs in public health resources and the weak connections between medical care and community care. This "gaps analysis" assists Baystate Health's Board of Trustees and senior managers in developing community benefit policy, which targets our charitable resources in focused areas. These areas frame existing community benefit programs, assist in transforming community service activities to comply with the IRS and MA Attorney General's criteria, and set priorities in the design of new programs. The CHNA is the basis for developing accountable community benefit programs. In an ideal situation, an effective and large scale community benefit program will demonstrate measurable community impacts on the health status and quality of life for residents - effectively closing gaps when current data is compared to initial CHNA baseline indicators. At a more practical program level, the CHNA guides a "theory of change" linking health needs to community benefit efforts to desired program and community outcomes. BMC's CHNA began by identifying the communities served by the hospital. Findings are based on various quantitative analyses regarding health-related needs in those areas, a review of health assessments conducted by other organizations in recent years, information obtained from interviews, and findings from a community survey. Preliminary assessment findings were discussed with community stakeholders during a series of "listening sessions" and feedback from participants helped validate findings. Finally, Verite applied a ranking methodology to help prioritize the community health needs identified by the assessment. Including multiple data sources and stakeholder views is important when assessing the level of consensus that exists regarding priority community health needs. If alternative data sources including interviews support similar conclusions, then confidence is increased regarding the most problematic health needs in a community. Further information about the analytic methods and prioritization process and criteria can be found in the hospitals 2013 CHNA report. The list that follows describes the health needs identified throughout the assessment as priorities in the community served by Baystate Medical Center. These needs are presented in alphabetical order, by category. The prioritized list identifies the 15 most problematic community health needs found by this assessment. Needs were determined by synthesizing findings from multiple data sources.Access to Care: Lack of Affordable and Accessible Medical CareNeed for Care Coordination and Culturally Sensitive Care Dental Health:Lack of Access to Dental Care Health Behaviors:High Rates of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Use High Rates of Unsafe Sex, Teen Pregnancy, and Chlamydia Maternal and Child Health:Prevalent Infant Health Risk Factors (e.g., smoking during pregnancy, lack of prenatal care) Pediatric DisabilityMental Health:Lack of Access to Mental Health Services and Poor Mental Health Status Use Morbidity and Mortality:High Rates of Diet and Exercise-Related Diseases and Mortality High Rates of Asthma Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Disease Morbidity and Mortality Physical Environment:Poor Community Safety (e.g., homicide and other violent crimes) Poor Built Environment and Environmental Quality (e.g., air quality, presence of food deserts) Social and Economic Factors:Basic Needs Insecurity: Financial Hardship, Housing, and Food Access Low Educational Achievement Baystate Health's Board of Trustees is actively involved in overseeing community benefit programs and expenditures. In July 2010, the Baystate Health Board of Trustees assigned oversight of community benefits to the Board's Governance Committee. Through its regular board meetings, internal hospital meetings and leadership activities, Baystate Health is actively involved in shaping community benefits provided by the system. For FY 2014 the systems Vice President for Government and Community Relations and Public Affairs, under the direction of the Sr. Vice President for Strategy & External Relations, supervised the Director of Community Health Planning and Manager of Community Relations and Community Benefit. In addition, the Director and Manager work collaboratively with the Regional Director of Public Affairs & Communications for Baystate Health Northern Region and the Public Relations & Community Relations Specialist at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital to oversee the hospitals' community benefit planning, community health needs assessments, annual program data collection, and state and federal reporting of community benefit. The Baystate Health Board Governance Committee meets two times per year and is charged with advocating for community benefits at the Board level and throughout the health system; integrating three (3) hospital-specific community benefit plans into the health system's strategic plan; periodic review of community health needs assessment data; approval of a community benefit mission statement and health priorities; review impact of community benefit programs in promoting health of the community; and ensure community benefits programs are in compliance with guidelines established by the MA Attorney General and IRS. Bi-annually, Baystate Health's Vice President for Government and Community Relations and Public Affairs and the Director of Community Health Planning or Community Benefit Manager present a system-wide community benefit update to the full Board of Trustees. Baystate Medical Center is in the planning phase of kicking-off a formal Community Benefit Advisory Council (CBAC). A CBAC brings a community lens and filter for interpreting findings of a community health needs assessment and priority setting process. The CBAC provides a community perspective on how to increase wellness and resilience opportunities for optimal health for an entire population; guidance in matching Baystate Medical Center resources to community resources, thus making the most of what is possible with the goal to improve health status and quality of life; and policy advocacy to assure and restore health equity by targeting resources for residents. Participants on a CBAC for Baystate Medical Center will represent employees, community benefit program managers and Hampden county constituencies and communities that the hospital serves. CBAC members will be responsible for reviewing community needs assessment data and use this analysis as a foundation for providing the hospital with input on its community benefit planning process.
Part VI, Line 3:Baystate Medical Center (BMC) is committed to ensuring that patients in its community have access to quality health care services with fairness and respect without regard to the patients' ability to pay. BMC recognizes that the cost of necessary health care services can impose a significant financial burden on patients who are uninsured or underinsured and acts affirmatively to lessen that burden by offering patients in need the opportunity to apply for free or reduced cost services. BMC not only offers free and reduced cost care to the financially needy as required by law, but has also voluntarily established discount and financial assistance programs that provide additional free and reduced cost care to more patients residing within the communities served by BMC.Baystate Medical Center recognizes that the billing and collection process can be bewildering and burdensome for patients and has implemented procedures to make the process understandable for patients; to inform patients about discount and financial assistance options; and to ensure that patients are not subject to aggressive collection activities. Consistent with its patient commitment BMC is required to maintain a credit and collection policy that reflects its patient billing and collection procedures and complies with applicable state and federal laws and regulations.Baystate Medical Center has Financial Counselors available to help patients apply for financial assistance programs that may cover unpaid hospital bills, including a variety of federal and state programs as well as financial assistance through Baystate Medical Center. BMC Financial Counselors have all been trained and certified by the state as Certified Account Counselors to assist patients in applying for available state and federal programs. BMC is committed to ensuring that patients or prospective patients in the community are aware of financial assistance programs. For uninsured or underinsured patients, BMC will assist in applying for available financial assistance programs. BMC notifies patients of the availability of assistance in both the initial bill sent to patients as well as in general notices posted throughout the hospital.When applicable, BMC also assists patients in applying for coverage of services as a Medical Hardship based on the patient's documented income and allowable medical expenses. BMC provides, upon request, specific information about the eligibility process to be a Low Income Patient under either the Massachusetts Health Safety Net Program or additional assistance for patients who are low income through BMC's own internal financial assistance program. BMC also notifies patients about available payment plans based on their family size and income. Signs about the availability of financial assistance programs at Baystate Medical Center are translated into Spanish, because Spanish is primarily spoken by 10% or more of the residents in the hospital's service area. Signs are large enough to be clearly visible. Baystate Medical Center's sign is 8-1/2 x 11 inches and the header print font is 24 pts. Notice of availability of Financial Assistance Programs are posted in the following locations; inpatient, clinic, emergency department admissions and/or registration areas, central admission/registration area, patient financial counselor areas and business office areas that are open to patients.Our Credit and Collection Policy is posted on the baystatehealth.org website. The goal of posting the Credit and Collection Policy is to ensure that patients or prospective patients in our community are aware of our financial assistance programs. Baystate Medical Center's Credit and Collection Policy was developed in partnership with Health Care For All, a Massachusetts non-profit organization dedicated to making adequate and affordable health care accessible to everyone, regardless of income, social or economic status.
Part VI, Line 4:Baystate Medical Center, located in Springfield, Massachusetts, is an academic, research, and teaching hospital that serves as the western campus of Tufts University School of Medicine. The Hospital is a 716-bed facility with 57 bassinets and is the only Level 1 trauma center in western Massachusetts, treating the most critical and urgent cases in the region. The hospital is also home to the second-busiest emergency department in Massachusetts. The primary community served by the hospital is defined based on the geographic origins of the hospital's discharges. The hospital's primary community is comprised of 51 ZIP codes in 21 cities and towns: Agawam, Blandford, Brimfield, Chester, Chicopee, East Longmeadow, Granville, Hampden, Holland, Holyoke, Longmeadow, Ludlow, Monson, Palmer, Russell, Southwick, Springfield, Wales, West Springfield, Westfield, and Wilbraham. The 51 ZIP codes collectively and essentially are equivalent to Hampden County. Hampden County has a total population of 464,416.In 2012, the community served by the hospital was comprised of 76% White residents, 9.1% African American residents, 21.8 % Latino residents and 2.1% Asian residents. The Latino community of Hampden County is concentrated in the cities of Holyoke and Springfield, while the African-American community is concentrated in Springfield. In all, 81% of all Latino residents of Hampden County live in either Springfield or Holyoke. Non-White populations are expected to grow faster than White populations in the community. The Asian, American Indian, Black, and Other are expected to have the fastest growth. The growing diversity of the community is important to recognize, given the presence of health disparities. Located in Hampden County along the Connecticut River, Springfield is 27 miles north of Hartford CT, while Boston and New York City are 80 and 134 miles away, respectively. The Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in New England and the county's contiguous urban nuclei is comprised of the central city of Springfield, with a population of 152,998, and the cities of Chicopee (55,453), and Holyoke (40,073). Much of BMC's service area has Medically Underserved Area or Population (MUA/P) designation from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) while the major towns have Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designation. Within Hampden County, Springfield and the surrounding community, especially Holyoke, have many community risk factors that contribute to poor health, including substance abuse, child abuse and neglect, poverty and unemployment, crime and domestic violence, decreased informal social support networks, and overburdened public schools.For FY 2014 BMC's ethnic mix of inpatient & outpatient patients included 48.6% White; 35.8% Hispanic; 11.7% Black; 1.4% Asian, 0.1% Native American, 2.5% Other. BMC's payer mix of patients included 41.45% Medicare; 29.19% Medicaid; 25.64% Managed Care; 1.35% Non-Managed Care; 2.38% Other. In FY 2014 BMC had 39,317 inpatient discharges and 80,059 emergency service visits. Payer mix for ED visits included 22.14% Medicaid; 2.01% Free Care; 23.14% Healthnet; 1.35% Commonwealth Care; 51.36% Other.BMC is committed to reducing health disparities in Springfield. Our commitment is demonstrated by our investment of significant resources in our three community health centers and pediatric clinic located in Springfield's low-income neighborhoods that have both HPSA and MUA/MUP designation. BMC health centers are primary care first-contact sites for thousands of underserved, low-income people. These community training sites for our Residency Program provide continuity of care for over 130,000 patients annually, most of who reside in an MUA/MUP. BMC provides primary care to a medically-underserved population in Springfield comprised of primarily Latinos and African-Americans. Springfield's black and Latino families fare poorly in comparison to their peers across the state on a myriad of sensitive indicators (e.g., infant deaths per 1,000 live births, low birth weight, births to adolescent mothers, adequacy of prenatal care). Springfield has one of the highest concentrations of MassHealth eligible populations. This low income population has a special health risk and a specific location in the Mason Square and North End neighborhoods with child poverty rates well above 30% and as high as 70% in some small areas.
Part VI, Line 5:Baystate Medical Center has a responsibility to respond to health care needs unsupported by government programs. In exchange for this responsibility, BMC qualifies for tax-exempt status under 501(c)(3). However, providing hospital care alone is not enough to qualify for tax-exempt status. Hospitals also must operate in the public interest and provide programs that benefit the community. Baystate Medical Center is fully committed to its role in the community and serves with pride and compassion for people in need.The charitable mission of Baystate Medical Center, a member hospital of Baystate Health (BH), is to improve the health of the people in our communities every day, with quality and compassion. Baystate Medical Center's Community Benefits Mission is to reduce health disparities, promote community wellness and improve access to care for vulnerable populations. BMC is committed to meeting the identified health and wellness needs of constituencies and communities served through the combined efforts of Baystate Health's member organizations, affiliated providers, and community partners.Baystate Medical Center meets all of the factors required of medical facilities in order to maintain tax exemption, as first described in Revenue Ruling 69-545. In support of patient care and the medical needs of the communities served by Baystate Medical Center, medical staff membership and privileges are extended to all qualified physicians and practitioners in western Massachusetts who meet the requirements for credentialing and clinical privileges, whether employed by a related Baystate entity or community-based. Baystate Medical Center's emergency department is open to all in need of care and services; no one requiring emergency care is denied treatment. In addition, surplus funds from operations are generally applied, as permitted, to the following; improvements in patient care, expansion and renovation of existing facilities, purchase and replacement of equipment, debt service, expenses associated with training of physicians and other health care professionals, professional development of medical and other clinical staff, and the support of scientific, translational, and clinical research.Baystate Health's volunteer Board of Trustees, the governing body of the organization and its affiliates, is comprised of the President and Chief Executive Officer of Baystate Health and up to twenty-two (22) other elected Trustees who are representative of the broad range of interests which exist in the communities served by Baystate Health and its affiliates. The Governance Committee oversees the nomination of Trustees and submits recommendations to the Board of Trustees for membership on the various Board committees. In considering nominations or recommendations for trustees, directors, committee members or officers the Governance Committee select nominees who are representative of the various and diverse constituencies served by Baystate Health and its affiliates. In particular the Committee nominates persons who are representative of the community consumer interests of the various neighborhoods and localities which are served by Baystate Health and its affiliates in the carrying out of and pursuant to the charitable mission of the Baystate Health and its affiliates.Baystate Medical Center's Patient and Family Advisory Council facilitate patients and families to share information and advise the hospital regarding policies and programs. Information from the Council provides hospital leadership with an enhanced understanding of how to improve quality, program development, service excellence, communications, patient safety, facility design, patient and family education, patient and family satisfaction, and loyalty.Please refer to the section above in line 2 for additional examples of Baystate Medical Center's responsiveness to the community and opportunities for community involvement; including the Board of Trustees' Governance Committee, Community Benefits Advisory Council, and Community Health Needs Assessment. Baystate Medical Center is recognized as a leading academic medical center. As the Western Campus of Tufts University School of Medicine since 1974, BMC offers clinical training and undergraduate and graduate medical student education across all specialties. Baystate Medical Center serves as a safety-net hospital due to the high level of Medicaid and charity care provided. In addition, BMC offers unique, specialized services including Level 1 Trauma, Children's Hospital, Invasive heart and vascular services, Cardiac surgery, Kidney transplantation, Level III Neonatal ICU, Specialized ICU's for children, adults and heart and vascular patients and the D'Amour Center for Cancer Care. Baystate Health encourages all of its affiliates, hospital and non-hospital to align their charity care and collections standards with Baystate Health's Credit and Collection Policy. While some of the rules and regulations are hospital specific, the guidelines stated in the Baystate Health Credit and Collection Policy concern all affiliates.Baystate Medical Center built a visionary new facility which opened in March 2012 that will meet our community's needs today, while laying the foundation for future growth. Hundreds of people, from patients to care providers to the community at large, have shared ideas and experiences to design the 641,000 sq. foot facility that includes a dedicated heart and vascular center, new patient care units with spacious private rooms, new emergency department and shell space for future growth. A major part of the public health commitment of Baystate Medical Center's Hospital of the Future project is the delivery of $9.6 million in new aid to community health initiatives in Springfield. Baystate Medical Center made an additional investment of $2 million in new community health initiative funding tied to the new Emergency Department. The $11.6 million, to be distributed over a period of seven years, addresses public health priorities such as nutrition, teen pregnancy, violence prevention, oral health and asthma, as well broader issues such as education, homelessness and employment. Specific to FY14 BMC awarded $1,516,748 to these community health initiatives.Baystate Medical Center participates in advocacy activities on behalf of health care coverage for all persons and for improved public health. Baystate Health leaders serve on the community boards for Health Care For All, a Massachusetts non-profit organization dedicated to making adequate and affordable health care accessible to everyone, regardless of income, social or economic status and the Massachusetts Public Health Association, a non-profit organization that promotes laws, policies, and programs that protect the health of our families, communities, and workplaces. In addition, Baystate Medical Center provides annual funding to Partners for a Healthier Community, a local leader in public health policy advocacy, building collaborations and leadership capacity to address various public health issues.For additional information, please see Line 6 below.

The HEFA indebtedness listed is a pool loan therefore the issue price, Parts I, II, III, IV (Lines 5-7) are being answered with respect to the Baystate Medical Center loan alone rather than with respect to proceeds loaned to other conduit borrowers. The actual date of issue of the MHEFA Series M2 Bonds was 5/30/2002, and the CUSIP number shown on Form 8038 was 57585KA57.

Part III, Lines 4 and 5, Column D: As the refunded bonds were issued prior to January 1, 2003, this question is being answered solely with respect to the new money portion of the bonds. Part III, Lines 4 and 5, Column G: As these bonds refunded debt issued prior to January 1, 2003, the organization is availing itself of the Part III reporting exemption available for such bonds.
