      <Description>NMMC-Hamilton serves Marion county Alabama and the surrounding area. In fiscal year 2013, there were 803 inpatient admissions, 8,478 emergency department visits, and 12,373 outpatient visits. NMMC-Hamilton uses Press Ganey, the largest patient satisfaction survey company in the nation, that works with more than 7,000 healthcare facilities. Randomly selected patients are asked about their experience with inpatient, outpatient, ER, and long term care services. The four-bed Intensive Care Unit offers invasive and non-invasive monitoring for medical and surgical patients. The hospital also has 10 certified swing beds for patients who need extended care. NMMC-Hamilton offers 24-hour emergency services. The Emergency Room is staffed by well-equipped, highly qualified nurses and physicians. Emergency air ambulance services are readily available for critical care transport when needed. Outpatient services include same-day surgery, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, laboratory and cardiac monitoring. Cardiac stress tests and holter monitoring are also offered. NMMC-Hamilton is the recipient of the VHA Leadership Award, honoring the hospital for meeting or exceeding national performance standards for clinical care and quality. VHA serves more than 1,400 not-for-profit hospitals and more than 24,000 non-acute health care organizations nationwide. NMMC-Hamilton was one of only 38 VHA member organizations to receive a 2009 Leadership Award for Clinical Excellence.</Description>
      <Activity2>
        <Description>One of the primary ways NMMC-Hamilton serves the community is by providing care to various populations for which it receives no compensation or receives compensation at rates significantly less than established rates. The board of directors of NMMC-Hamilton has established a policy under which the hospital provides care, without charge, to needy members of its community. The charity care policy states that NMMC-Hamilton will provide necessary hospital services to patients free of charge with household income levels based on the median income for Mississippi compared to the median income nationally. NMMC-Hamilton believes this adjustment is also appropriate for the geographic area of Alabama, where its hospital facility is located. The Mississippi Adjusted Poverty Guidelines is approximately 74% of the federal poverty rate. The policy further provides patients with household income levels above the Mississippi Adjusted Poverty Guidelines will be liable for no more than the amount that their household income exceeds the applicable federal poverty guidelines. The policy applies to individuals who reside in Marion County. Patients from outside the county may also be granted charity care based on the judgment of NMMC-Hamilton management depending on their individual circumstances. The policy also requires the patient to cooperate fully with NMMC-Hamilton's request for information with which to verify the patient's eligibility. Following that policy, the hospital maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges forgone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy. Charges forgone, based on established rates, totaled approximately $1,272,178 in fiscal year 2013. Based on the gross charges provided to charity patients compared to total hospital gross charges, 2.2% of all services in fiscal year 2013 were provided on a charity basis. The net cost of charity care provided by NMMC-Hamilton was approximately $454,000 in fiscal year 2013. The total cost estimate is based on the ratio of costs to charges for NMMC-Hamilton. All of the forgone charges mentioned above are netted against patient service revenue to arrive at net patient service revenue as reflected as program service revenue on Part VIII on Form 990 in order to be consistent with financial statement reporting and are not reported as functional expenses on the tax return.</Description>

        <Identifier>Part III, Line 4:</Identifier>
        <Explanation>Marion Regional Medical Center's financial statements do not include a footnote specifically concerning bad debt. Bad debt is shown as a separate line item on the face of the income statement. The amount of bad debt booked each year is based on a review of outstanding receivables and their age from date of service. The older the account, the higher the reserve percentage used to estimate bad debt. Accounts are considered delinquent and subsequently written off as bad debts based on individual credit evaluations and specific circumstances of the account. The amount reported in Part III, line 2 as bad debt expense matches the amount of bad debt expense reported on MRMC's audited financial statements. Marion Regional Medical Center (MRMC) follows the Catholic Health Association guidelines and does not include bad debt in any community benefit amounts. MRMC, however, believes that some portion of bad debt results from patients who could qualify for charity care but has no way of making an estimate of the amount and therefore has answered "zero" for Part III Line 3.</Explanation>

Lines 5, 6, &amp; 7 do not include certain Medicare programs and costs and thus do not reflect all of the organization's revenues and costs associated with its participation in Medicare programs. Additional revenues and costs not reported on Lines 5, 6, &amp; 7 include those associated with the organization's Medicare outpatient lab, ambulance and therapy services. Total revenues from these activities were $358,076 and total costs were $664,822 for a net shortfall of $306,746. When combined with the shortfall reported on Line 7, the net shortfall from all Medicare programs is $1,354,117.</Explanation>

The North Mississippi Health Services Community Health Assessment covers the 24 county service area including Marion County and provides information by county. In addition, the North Mississippi Health Services Community Relations Facilitator conducts routine visits with our internal and external stakeholders across the entire service area including Marion County.

        <Explanation>As noted above, Marion Regional Medical Center (MRMC) is part of North Mississippi Health Services (NMHS). NMHS operates North Mississippi Medical Center and four other community hospitals in addition to MRMC, as well as, North Mississippi Medical Clinics, which operates more than 30 medical clinics. Some of these facilities operate at an ongoing financial loss and NMHS provides operating funds in the form of working capital loans that have no set repayment date. These working capital loans have historically been converted to capital transfers in many cases, and therefore, the loans are forgiven such that the facility never makes repayment. NMHS does this in order to provide access to a variety of services across the service area and is an intentional part of its business model. The Community Health department that is part of NMMC coordinates a variety of community health activities across the service area as well.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Participant: Joe Reppert $17,023 Rodger Brown $42,861 Terms &amp; Conditions: North Mississippi Health Services, Inc. (NMHS) Adopted the management deferred annuity plan (the Plan) on October 1, 1998. Participants in the plan are designated by the compensation committee of the board of directors of NMHS. At the beginning of each plan year, NMHS shall pay a contribution, less witholding for taxes, to the participant's annuity contract, which is a deferred annuity contract selected, owned, and controlled by the participant.

A participant is terminated from the plan on the earliest of: (1) the date the board determines the employee is no longer a participant; (2) the date the participant retires; (3) the date that the participant dies; or (4) the date the participant no longer is employed by NMHS for reasons other than retirement or death.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Form 990 goes through a review process in the Accounting Department. The accountant for each facility reviews the return for reasonableness and accuracy. All totals are tied to the audit reports, and all amounts are cross-referenced to schedules or other parts of the actual return. Once the accountant reviews, the Accounting Supervisor and the Director of Accounting reviews. The Supervisor does a detailed review by checking the return for the same items that the accountant checked for. Then the Director does a more high level review, reading the return for reasonableness and comparing prior year amounts to current year amounts. Finally, the VP of Finance reviews the return for reasonableness. The returns are then sent to the Executive VP/Treasurer to be reviewed. The Treasurer signs the return and it is then sent to the IRS.</Explanation>
