| ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE | SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C | THE INCOME BASED CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY IS PER NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 10:52 SUB CHAPTERS 11, 12 AND 13, AND BASED UPON THE 2011 FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES). FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ARE INCLUDED IN THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY AND DISCOUNTED CARE. THE FACILITY USES A SLIDING SCALE METHOD TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE. |
| COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT | SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A | ANNUALLY THE ORGANIZATION PREPARES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH IS POSTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE, WWW.HACKENSACKUMC.ORG. |
| FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST | SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 | THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $73,900,721. |
| COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES | SCHEDULE H, PART II | HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("HACKENSACKUMC") ACTIVELY ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. HACKENSACKUMC CONTRIBUTED $34,170 TO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN SPONSORSHIP OF YOUTH SPORTING ACTIVITIES, JULY 4TH CELEBRATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS. IN ADDITION, HACKENSACKUMC PROVIDES AND SUBSIDIZES DAY CARE SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS COMMUNITY BUILDING OPERATION RESULTED IN A LOSS OF $237,773 IN 2011. |
| BAD DEBT EXPENSE | SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4 | BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AND SUBSIDIARIES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AND SUBSIDIARIES. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS ACCOUNTED FOR ON THE ACCRUAL BASIS IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED. THESE AMOUNTS ARE NET OF APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCES TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARGES AND REIMBURSEMENT RATES FROM THIRD PARTY PAYERS. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS REIMBURSED FROM THIRD PARTY PAYERS UNDER VARIOUS METHODOLOGIES BASED ON THE LEVEL OF CARE PROVIDED. CERTAIN NET REVENUES RECEIVED ARE SUBJECT TO AUDIT AND RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENT FOR WHICH AMOUNTS ARE ACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. THE NET POSITIVE ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS RELATING TO PRIOR YEAR ESTIMATES WERE APPROXIMATELY $1,000,000 AND $5,127,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010, RESPECTIVELY. THE PROCESS FOR ESTIMATING THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGMENTS. ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE WHEN MANAGEMENT DETERMINES IT IS PROBABLE THE RECEIVABLE WILL NOT BE RECOVERED. THE USE OF HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND PAYER REIMBURSEMENT EXPERIENCE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ESTIMATION OF RESERVES FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. REVISIONS IN RESERVE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS ESTIMATES ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. A SUMMARY OF THE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH MAJOR THIRD-PARTY PAYERS IS AS FOLLOWS: MEDICARE - INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES AND MOST OUTPATIENT SERVICES RENDERED TO MEDICARE PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE. THESE RATES VARY ACCORDING TO A PATIENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM THAT IS BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND OTHER FACTORS. INPATIENT NON-ACUTE SERVICES AND DEFINED CAPITAL AND MEDICAL EDUCATION COSTS RELATED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID BASED ON A COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS REIMBURSED FOR CERTAIN REIMBURSABLE ITEMS AT A TENTATIVE RATE WITH FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL COST REPORT BY THE MEDICAL CENTER AND AUDITS THEREOF BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CLASSIFICATION OF PATIENTS UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM AND THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THEIR ADMISSION ARE SUBJECT TO AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW BY A PEER REVIEW ORGANIZATION UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S MEDICARE COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND FINALIZED BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2004. MEDICAID - INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES RENDERED TO MEDICAID PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE. THESE RATES VARY ACCORDING TO A PATIENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM THAT IS BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND OTHER FACTORS. OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE PAID BASED UPON A COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY AND CERTAIN SERVICES ARE PAID BASED ON A MEDICAID FEE SCHEDULE. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS PAID FOR REIMBURSABLE COSTS AT A TENTATIVE RATE WITH FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL COST REPORT BY THE MEDICAL CENTER AND AUDIT THEREOF BY THE MEDICAID FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S MEDICAID COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND FINALIZED BY THE MEDICAID FISCAL INTERMEDIARY THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2006. THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS ALSO ENTERED INTO PAYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CERTAIN COMMERCIAL INSURANCE CARRIERS, HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS AND PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS. THE BASIS FOR PAYMENT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS INCLUDES PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DAY/CASE AND DISCOUNTS FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES. REVENUE FROM MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ACCOUNTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 29.6% AND 8.0%, RESPECTIVELY, OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN 2011 AND 31.0% AND 7.7%, RESPECTIVELY, OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN 2010. THE CURRENT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS ARE BASED UPON COMPLEX LAWS AND REGULATIONS. NONCOMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESULT IN FINES, PENALTIES, AND EXCLUSION FROM SUCH PROGRAMS. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS NOT AWARE OF ANY NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND IS NOT AWARE OF ANY PENDING OR THREATENED INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVING ALLEGATIONS OF POTENTIAL WRONGDOING THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON ITS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CHARITY CARE IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSE, THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES A WIDE ARRAY OF SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS, HEALTH SCREENINGS, TRAUMA SERVICES, TRAINING FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL, SOCIAL SERVICE AND SUPPORT COUNSELING FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, PASTORAL CARE, CRISIS INTERVENTION, AND TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE MEDICAL CENTER. ADDITIONALLY, A LARGE NUMBER OF HEALTH-RELATED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING HEALTH ENHANCEMENTS AND WELLNESS, CLASSES ON SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, MEDICAL EDUCATION, TELEPHONE INFORMATION SERVICES, AND PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE GENERAL STANDARDS OF THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT REDUCED COSTS TO RESIDENTS OF ITS COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S DEFINITION OF CHARITY CARE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: (A) SERVICES PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE TO THE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED AND (B) SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS EXPRESSING A WILLINGNESS TO PAY, BUT WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNABLE TO PAY BECAUSE OF SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA UNDER THE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM FOR CHARITY CARE OR TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR A NEW PROGRAM ESTABLISHED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER IN 2008. THE MEDICAL CENTER OFFERS ITS OWN CHARITY CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DID NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARGES AND THE REDUCED RATES ARE CONSIDERED THE MEDICAL CENTER'S SELF-PAY CHARITY CARE. THE MEDICAL CENTER MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. SUCH FORGONE CHARGES FOR 2011 AND 2010 ARE AS FOLLOWS (IN THOUSANDS): 2011 2010 (000'S) (000'S) ====== ====== CHARGES FORGONE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM $205,846 $165,700 MEDICAL CENTER'S SELF-PAY CHARITY CARE PROGRAM $88,131 $48,272 ------------ ------------ TOTAL CHARGES FOREGONE $293,977 $213,972 ============ ============ OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED ($1,270,991,000 AND $1,197,786,000 IN 2011 AND 2010, RESPECTIVELY), AN ESTIMATED $72,827,000 AND $52,618,000 AROSE DURING 2011 AND 2010, RESPECTIVELY, FROM PROVIDING SERVICES TO CHARITY CARE PATIENTS. THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF PROVIDING CHARITY SERVICES ARE BASED ON A CALCULATION WHICH APPLIES A RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES TO THE GROSS UNCOMPENSATED CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CARE TO CHARITY PATIENTS. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE MEDICAL CENTER'S TOTAL EXPENSES (LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE) DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEW JERSEY HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT OF 1992 PROVIDED FOR CERTAIN SUBSIDY PAYMENTS FROM THE STATE TO QUALIFIED HOSPITALS TO PARTIALLY FUND UNCOMPENSATED CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COSTS. SUBSIDY PAYMENTS RECOGNIZED AS REVENUE AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY $9,775,000 AND $8,550,000 FOR 2011 AND 2010, RESPECTIVELY, AND ARE INCLUDED IN OTHER REVENUE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS. |
| MEDICARE SHORTFALL | SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WAS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS DERIVED FROM THE 2011 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE ARE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDED WITHIN FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS). THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE INDIGENT OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT A HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (AHA) HAS OUTLINED IN A LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA BELIEVES THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. IN A MARCH 2011 REPORT TO CONGRESS, THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION (MEDPAC) REPORTED THAT THE OVERALL MEDICARE MARGIN FOR ALL HOSPITALS WAS AT A NEGATIVE 5.2% FOR FY 2009. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE INDIGENT AND ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - ALSO KNOWN AS "DUAL ELIGIBLES." DUAL ELIGIBLES ARE AMONG THE SICKEST AND POOREST INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY EITHER MEDICARE OR MEDICAID. MOST DUAL ELIGIBLES ARE VERY LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS. IN 2008, 86% OF DUAL ELIGIBLES HAD ANNUAL INCOMES BELOW 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, COMPARED TO 22% OF NON-DUAL MEDICARE BENEFICIARES. ONLY 7 PERCENT HAD ANNUAL INCOMES GREATER THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. THERE IS A VERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ANNUAL OVERALL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS MUST BE ASSUMED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND INDIGENT. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOME BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING APPLICATION FOR AND ULTIMATE APPROVAL FOR CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS.

| COMMUNITY INFORMATION | SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4 | SERVICE AREA THE MEDICAL CENTER DEFINES ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA FOR INPATIENTS ("PSA") AS BERGEN COUNTY, ITS SECONDARY SERVICE AREA ("SSA") AS PASSAIC AND HUDSON COUNTIES, AND ITS TERTIARY SERVICE AREA ("TSA") AS OTHER COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY AND CERTAIN COUNTIES IN NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA. THE 2010 POPULATION OF THE PSA AND SSA WERE 905,116 AND 1,135,492, RESPECTIVELY, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2010, APPROXIMATELY 22.6% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 22.5% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 15.1% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 11.1% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE 65 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2011, APPROXIMATELY 60.9% OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S 45,171 DISCHARGES CAME FROM BERGEN COUNTY, 10.6% FROM HUDSON COUNTY AND 12.8% FROM PASSAIC COUNTY. THE MEDICAL CENTER REFERS TO BERGEN, HUDSON AND PASSAIC COUNTIES AS THE "TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA". THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO ATTRACTS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO RESIDE BEYOND THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA, AND FREQUENTLY THESE PATIENTS ARE SEEKERS OF SUB-SPECIALTY CARE. IN 2011, APPROXIMATELY 15.7% OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S DISCHARGES CAME FROM OUTSIDE OF THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA. A CONSISTENT GOAL OF THE MEDICAL CENTER OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES HAS BEEN TO REDUCE OUTMIGRATION OF PSA AND SSA PATIENTS TO HOSPITALS IN NEW YORK CITY. ALTHOUGH HACKENSACKUMC HAS EXPERIENCED A REDUCTION IN OUTMIGRATION AND INCREASED PSA AND SSA ADMISSIONS, THE CONTINUING REDUCTION OF OUTMIGRATION REMAINS A LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE. |

| COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED) | CORE FORM, PART III | THE OPENING OF A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WHICH EXPANDS FROM PROVIDING JUST EMERGENCY SERVICES TO PROVIDING INPATIENT CARE AT THE FORMER PASCACK VALLEY HOSPITAL SITE CONTINUED TO BE A PRIORITY OF THE MEDICAL CENTER. IN EARLY 2012, THE MEDICAL CENTER, WITH SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY, PUBLIC AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, LOCAL PHYSICIANS, AND THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY, RECEIVED THE FINAL APPROVAL TO RE-OPEN HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY INTO A FULL SERVICE HOSPITAL. THE NEWLY RENOVATED AND RE-OPENED HOSPITAL WILL OFFER THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: 128 ALL-PRIVATE PATIENT ROOMS, INCLUDING INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, MEDICAL / SURGICAL, STATE-OF-THE-ART OBSTETRICAL UNITS, FIVE FULL SERVICE OPERATING ROOMS, ONE SPECIAL PROCEDURE ROOM, CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LAB, RADIOLOGY AND LABORATORY. THIS INPATIENT HOSPITAL WILL ACT AS AN ANCHOR TO MANY IN-DEMAND, OUTPATIENT SERVICES SUCH AS RADIOLOGY, WOMEN'S HEALTH AND SAME-DAY SURGERY. IN JANUARY 2011 THE MEDICAL CENTER SIGNED AN AFFILIATION AGREEMENT WITH HACKETTSTOWN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, A 111-BED HOSPITAL, ESTABLISHING THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PRESENCE IN WARREN COUNTY. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS COMMITTED TO EXPANDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PHYSICIANS AND TO SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL SPECIALTY CARE PROGRAMS, BEGINNING WITH OBSTETRICS AND ONCOLOGY. HACKENSACKUMC HAS CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH SAINT CLARE'S HEALTH SYSTEM, PROVIDING HIGHER LEVELS OF CANCER DIAGNOSTICS, TREATMENT, CLINICAL TRIALS, AND CANCER MANAGEMENT TO THEIR PATIENTS THROUGH THE MEDICAL CENTER'S JOHN THEURER CANCER CENTER.

THEY JOIN STUDENTS TRAINING HERE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY OF NEW JERSEY. AS PART OF THIS RELATIONSHIP, HACKENSACKUMC AWARDED THE FIRST CHAIRMAN'S SCHOLARSHIP TO ST. GEORGE'S. THIS SCHOLARSHIP IS DESIGNATED FOR HACKENSACKUMC MEDICAL AND DENTAL STAFF, EMPLOYEES AND FAMILY MEMBERS. IN 2012, HACKENSACKUMC WILL STRENGTHEN ITS CORE BY FOCUSING ON THE CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE SUCH AS THE NEUROSCIENCES INSTITUTE AND THE ORTHOPAEDICS INSTITUTE. ADDITIONAL CAPACITY IN THESE TWO AREAS IS ESSENTIAL AS THE POPULATION AGES AND THE INCIDENCE OF CONDITIONS LIKE PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND ARTHRITIS INCREASES. AT THE END OF 2011, HACKENSACKUMC BECAME THE FIRST HOSPITAL ON THE EAST COAST TO USE THE CLEARPOINT NEURO INTERVENTION SYSTEM TO TREAT SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. IT ALLOWS NEUROLOGICAL PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED WITHIN A MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) SCANNER, PROVIDING SURGEONS WITH A REAL-TIME VIEW OF THE BRAIN AS THEY OPERATE. IN EARLY 2012, HACKENSACKUMC PLANS TO OPEN A GAMMA KNIFE CENTER. THE GAMMA KNIFE IS USED TO ABLATE TUMORS BY FOCUSING RADIATION WITH EXTREME PRECISION ON THE TARGETED AREA OF THE BRAIN. EMERGENCY CARE IS ANOTHER AREA IN WHICH HACKENSACKUMC PLANS TO BUILD CAPACITY. IN 2011 HACKENSACKUMC RECEIVED APPROVAL TO ALMOST DOUBLE THE SIZE OF ITS EMERGENCY SERVICES. THE EXPANSION PLANS WILL NOT ONLY UPGRADE THE EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER, BUT WILL ALSO CONSTRUCT A NEW BUILDING THAT WILL ALLOW HACKENSACKUMC TO EXPAND THE FOOTPRINT OF THE EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER, INCLUDING SHELL SPACE FOR FUTURE EXPANSION AND REDESIGNING THE EXISTING AMBULANCE DROP-OFF. THE PLANS CALL FOR THE MEDICAL CENTER TO CONVERT THE EXISTING SEMIPRIVATE CURTAINED CUBICLES INTO PRIVATE TREATMENT SUITES THAT ARE 120 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE AND ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND EQUIPMENT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A TOTAL OF 75 TREATMENT BEDS, FIVE OF WHICH WILL BE DESIGNATED FOR TRAUMA. WHILE THERE WILL BE NO INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF TREATMENT BAYS AS A RESULT OF THIS PROJECT, THE EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER WILL BE MUCH LARGER AND WILL HAVE SPECIALTY CARE AREAS FOR CARDIAC, CANCER, GERIATRICS AND TRAUMA PATIENTS. THREE TRIAGE STATIONS WILL ALSO BE CREATED. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS ALSO TAKING A NUMBER OF STEPS TO RAISE ITS PRESENCE IN SURROUNDING AREAS. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL REINFORCE ITS PARTNERSHIPS WITH SMALLER HOSPITALS IN THE REGION BY INSTITUTING MEDICAL AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES. THE NEW HELICOPTER, PUT INTO SERVICE DURING THE SPRING OF 2012, WILL ENABLE PATIENTS TO BE BROUGHT TO HACKENSACKUMC TO RECEIVE MORE SOPHISTICATED TREATMENT THAN THEY COULD RECEIVE ELSEWHERE. IN ADDITION, THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL BE EXPANDING ITS SERVICES INTO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A NEW $22 MILLION WELLNESS CENTER SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN MID-2013 IN MAYWOOD, NEW JERSEY. THE 100,000-SQUARE-FOOT SPACE WILL OFFER EVERYTHING FROM A FULL-SERVICE GYM TO MAMMOGRAMS.

SUBSIDY PAYMENTS RECOGNIZED AS REVENUE AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY $9,775,000 IN 2011; HOWEVER AS MORE FULLY OUTLINED BELOW ESTIMATED COSTS RELATING TO PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE TO INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT INSURANCE TOTALED APPROXIMATELY $69,407,474; FOR A NET DEFICIT OF APPROXIMATELY $59,632,474. BASED UPON THESE STATISTICS HACKENSACKUMC HAD APPROXIMATELY THE 11TH LARGEST CHARITY CARE PROGRAM IN THE STATE IN TERMS OF CHARITY CARE DOLLARS STATED AT MEDICAID RATES AND THE LARGEST NET LOSS OF ALL NEW JERSEY HOSPITALS FROM THE CHARITY PROGRAM IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.

THE CHA METHODOLOGY DOES NOT INCLUDE MEDICARE SHORTFALLS AND CERTAIN COSTS RELATED TO BAD DEBT. UTILIZING THE MODEL ADOPTED BY THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA"), WHICH HACKENSACKUMC BELIEVES MORE CLEARLY REPRESENTS ACTUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT, WHEN QUANTIFYING ITS ESTIMATED TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS FOR THE 2011 YEAR WOULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE.

THE CANCER CENTER HAS RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 53,000 ACTIVE TREATMENTS DURING 2011. EACH WEEK, APPROXIMATELY 150 NEW PATIENTS SEEK OUT HUMC'S SERVICES. ITS ADULT BLOOD AND MARROW STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION PROGRAM, NOW ONE OF THE TOP 10 IN THE UNITED STATES, TREATS MORE THAN 200 PATIENTS A YEAR. HOUSED WITHIN HACKENSACKUMC, THE CANCER CENTER PROVIDES STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, COMPASSIONATE CARE, RESEARCH INNOVATIONS, MEDICAL EXPERTISE, AND A FULL RANGE OF AFTER CARE SERVICES THAT DISTINGUISH THE CANCER CENTER FROM OTHER FACILITIES. THE CANCER CENTER IS COMPOSED OF 14 SPECIALIZED ON-SITE TEAMS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL CARE OF THEIR PATIENTS AND LOVED ONES. EACH OF THE 14 DIVISIONS FEATURES TEAMS OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, TECHNOLOGISTS, AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH CLINICAL AND RESEARCH EXPERTISE IN A SPECIFIC TYPE OF CANCER (SUCH AS LEUKEMIA OR BREAST CANCER) OR SPECIFIC SERVICE (SUCH AS SUPPORTIVE CARE AND PAIN MANAGEMENT). THIS APPROACH, WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER A CLOSE-KNIT TEAM OF MEDICAL, RESEARCH, NURSING, AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE, TRANSLATES INTO MORE ADVANCED, FOCUSED CARE FOR PATIENTS. THE CANCER CENTER HAS EXPERIENCED STEADY GROWTH IN ITS CANCER CARE PROGRAMS. IT OFFERS PATIENTS ACCESS TO ONE OF FOURTEEN SPECIALIZED DIVISIONS: BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION, BREAST, GASTROINTESTINAL, GENITOURINARY, GYNECOLOGICAL, HEAD AND NECK, LEUKEMIA, LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE, MULTIPLE MYELOMA, NEURO-ONCOLOGY, SKIN AND SARCOMA, SUPPLEMENTARY CARE AND PAIN MANAGEMENT, THORACIC, AND RESEARCH. IN ADDITION, IT IS ONE OF ONLY 50 PROGRAMS IN THE NATION DESIGNATED AS A COMMUNITY CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM (CCOP) BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI) OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. A CCOP IS A GROUP OF COMMUNITY HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS FUNDED BY A PEER-REVIEWED COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN NCI-SPONSORED CANCER TREATMENT, PREVENTION, AND CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIALS. THE CANCER CENTER ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE RANGE OF ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CAPABILITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ONLY AT MAJOR HOSPITALS SUCH AS HACKENSACKUMC. THESE INCLUDE ALL TYPES OF IMAGING STUDIES, INCLUDING PET SCANNING, MRI, CT SCANNING, AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE; ADVANCED MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL DIAGNOSTICS, SUCH AS STEREOTACTIC BIOPSIES AND SENTINEL LYMPH NODE MAPPING; ROBOTIC AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURES; STATE-OF-THE-ART RADIATION THERAPY, INCLUDING INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY (IMRT), TOMOTHERAPY, IMPLANT AND HIGH-DOSE-RATE BRACHYTHERAPY, AND STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY; NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS, INCLUDING RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION; ADVANCED CHEMOTHERAPY USING NEW MEDICATIONS AND COMBINATIONS; HORMONAL THERAPY; STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION; AND HIGHLY PROMISING IMMUNOTHERAPY USING VACCINES TO DESTROY CANCER CELLS. HOWEVER, AT THE CANCER CENTER, HACKENSACKUMC IS NOT SATISFIED TO PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANCED, STATE-OF-THE-ART SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TODAY. NOR IS IT SATISFIED TO PROVIDE CUTTING-EDGE BASIC RESEARCH, CLINICAL TRIALS, AND INNOVATIVE TREATMENT METHODS THAT ARE NOT FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE IN NEW JERSEY. WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING PEOPLE FACE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF THEIR LIVES - A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER - HACKENSACKUMC REACHES BEYOND ITS FACILITIES, ITS EQUIPMENT, AND ITS TREATMENTS AND OFFERS PATIENTS THE BEST OF HACKENSACKUMC, THE CANCER CARE TEAM OF DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS. NO TREATMENT CAN WORK WITHOUT THE SKILLS, EXPERTISE, AND COMPASSION OF HACKENSACKUMC'S EXTRAORDINARY TEAM OF CANCER CARE EXPERTS. ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE EXTRAORDINARY CARE STARTS WITH EACH MEMBER OF ITS TEAM. HACKENSACKUMC PLEDGES TO PARTNER WITH PATIENTS IN THE FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES, AND TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SUPPORT THEM DURING THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH HACKENSACKUMC. PATIENTS ARE NOT A NUMBER TO HACKENSACKUMC, BUT A MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, AUNT, OR UNCLE. HACKENSACKUMC CARES FOR PATIENTS WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT AS HACKENSACKUMC MAKES THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER WITH PATIENTS. THE CANCER CENTER WORKS CLOSELY WITH SEVERAL CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE THAT OFFER DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CAPABILITIES THAT ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE AT OTHER CANCER FACILITIES IN NEW JERSEY. THESE INCLUDE THE WORLD-RENOWNED ADULT BLOOD AND MARROW STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION PROGRAM; THE PROSTATE CANCER INSTITUTE OF NEW JERSEY; THE BETTY TORRICELLI INSTITUTE FOR BREAST CARE; THE INSTITUTE FOR RADIOSURGERY; THE COLON CANCER PREVENTION CENTER; AND THE DEPARTMENT OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY. THE CANCER CENTER IS THE FIRST CANCER CENTER IN NEW JERSEY TO ACQUIRE A NEW, CUTTING EDGE RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES A RADICALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO TREATING CANCER WITH IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY (IGRT) KNOWN AS THE TRUEBEAM SYSTEM. THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM ALLOWS THE JOHN THEURER CANCER CENTER TO OFFER EVEN FASTER TREATMENTS, ENHANCED ACCURACY, AND QUICKER IMAGING AT LOWER DOSES. BASIC RESEARCH -------------- BASIC RESEARCH STUDIES AT THE CANCER CENTER AND HACKENSACKUMC'S ON-SITE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO THE ORIGINS OF CANCER AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL, HOW AND WHY CELLS PROGRESS INTO CANCER, AND THE BASIC BIOLOGY OF GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE, A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY FATAL SIDE EFFECT OF STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION. STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION IS USED TO TREAT HEMATOLOGICAL (BLOOD) CANCERS, SUCH AS LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA; CANCERS THAT INVOLVE SOLID TUMORS, SUCH AS BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCER; SERIOUS BLOOD DISORDERS; AND IMMUNE SYSTEM DEFICIENCIES. CLINICAL TRIALS OFFER INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS ------------------------------------------- AS A WORLD-CLASS FACILITY AND ACADEMIC HOSPITAL, THE CANCER CENTER IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN CLINICAL TRIALS THAT BRING RESEARCH ADVANCES DIRECTLY TO PATIENTS. THE CANCER CENTER PARTICIPATES IN MORE THAN 100 INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL CANCER CLINICAL TRIALS THAT GIVE PATIENTS ACCESS TO PROMISING INVESTIGATIONAL MEDICATIONS, TREATMENT PROTOCOLS, AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUES THAT ARE OFTEN NOT AVAILABLE AT OTHER FACILITIES IN NEW JERSEY. KEY AREAS OF CANCER RESEARCH THAT ARE CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE INCLUDE TARGETED THERAPIES THAT PINPOINT CANCER CELLS AND SPARE NORMAL CELLS, GENE THERAPY TO MUTATE CANCER, ADVANCES IN STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION, NEW COMBINATIONS OF CHEMOTHERAPY, NEW RADIATION ONCOLOGY CANCER CELLS AND SAFE VIRUSES TO MAKE VACCINES THAT COMBAT CANCER. |

THE MEDICAL CENTER IS A REGIONAL DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CENTER FOR ABUSED CHILDREN, AND IS ONE OF THREE SUCH CENTERS IN THE STATE. THIS CENTER IS HOUSED IN ITS OWN FACILITY, KNOWN AS AUDREY HEPBURN CHILDREN'S HOUSE, LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER. WHILE AT AUDREY HEPBURN CHILDREN'S HOUSE, CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WHO ARE SUSPECTED VICTIMS OF ABUSE AND/OR NEGLECT RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC SERVICES, AND UNDERGO EVALUATION BY A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM IN A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT RATHER THAN UNDERGOING A TRAUMATIC PROCESS OF MULTIPLE EVALUATIONS IN A HOSPITAL SETTING. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S OTHER ASSOCIATED/SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR CHILDREN INCLUDE THE CJ FOUNDATION FOR SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME ("SIDA") AND THE NEW JERSEY SIDS CENTER, DEDICATED TO FUNDING RESEARCH INTO AND COUNSELING FAMILIES STRICKEN BY SIDS; THE MOLLY FOUNDATION FOR DIABETES RESEARCH, WHICH FUNDS RESEARCH IN THE TREATMENT AND POSSIBLE CURE FOR JUVENILE DIABETES; THE STEVEN AND RICHARD BADER IMMUNOLOGICAL CENTER, WHICH PROVIDES A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO THE DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN WITH SUSPECTED OR PROVEN DIFFICULTIES IN FIGHTING INFECTION BECAUSE OF IMMUNE DEFICIENCY DISORDERS; AND THE JUDY CENTER FOR DOWN'S SYNDROME, WHICH PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH THIS GENETIC DISORDER GERIATRIC CARE -------------- ALMOST 40 PERCENT OF THE BED-DAYS AT THE MEDICAL CENTER ARE COVERED BY MEDICARE. GIVEN THE NEED TO PROVIDE PERSON-SPECIFIC RATHER THAN SITE-SPECIFIC CARE, THE GERIATRIC SERVICE CARES FOR ELDERS AT THE GERIATRIC CENTER, IN THE HOSPITAL, IN POST-ACUTE CARE AND LONG TERM CARE SETTINGS AND AT ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES. ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION --------------------- THE MEDICAL CENTER PERFORMS ADULT KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS, PEDIATRIC KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS AND PANCREAS TRANSPLANTS (IN CONJUNCTION WITH KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS). THE KIDNEY AND PANCREAS TRANSPLANT PROGRAMS AT THE MEDICAL CENTER ARE THE ONLY SUCH PROGRAMS IN BERGEN, PASSAIC OR HUDSON COUNTY.

PHYSICIANS CAN LOG INTO THE PACS REMOTELY TO VIEW IMAGING STUDIES ANYWHERE THERE IS INTERNET ACCESS. THE STAFF PERFORMS COMPLEX ADVANCED PROCEDURES SUCH AS CARDIAC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY, CARDIAC MRI, AND ADVANCED PET/CT APPLICATIONS. ALL RADIOLOGISTS ARE FELLOWSHIP TRAINED IN VARIOUS SUBSPECIALTIES AND AN ATTENDING RADIOLOGIST (NOT A RESIDENT IN TRAINING) IS ON SITE AT ALL TIMES FOR INTERPRETATION AND CONSULTATION, PRODUCING VERY RAPID REPORT TURN-AROUND TIMES. EMERGENCY SERVICES / TRAUMA --------------------------- THE JEFFREY M. CREAMER EMERGENCY/TRAUMA DEPARTMENT ("ETD") IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND TREATS ALL AGES AND ALL MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IN 2011, 76,818 PATIENTS VISITED THE ETD WHICH RESULTED IN 19,649 ADMISSIONS. THERE IS ALSO A SEPARATE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM THAT SAW 33,666 VISITS IN 2011, WHICH RESULTED IN 2,767 ADMISSIONS. THE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM IS STAFFED BY PHYSICIANS AND NURSES SPECIALTY-TRAINED IN PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE. THE TAKE-A-BREAK PROGRAM NOW SEEMS LIKE AN OBVIOUS IDEA. THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ACCOMPANY THEIR LOVED ONES TO EMERGENCY ROOMS CAN ALMOST ALWAYS BENEFIT FROM A SHORT BREAK - WHETHER TO PICK KIDS UP AT SCHOOL, MAKE A FEW PHONE CALLS OR JUST GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE. WHEN THE PROPOSAL WAS FIRST MADE TO SET UP A NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS WHO COULD SUPPORT FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND REPRESENT THEM IN THEIR ABSENCE, THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE IT ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. TODAY 50 VOLUNTEERS COVER EACH OF THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA DEPARTMENT'S THREE SHIFTS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. EMERGENCY SERVICES OPENED A SATELLITE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT HACKENSACKUMC NORTH IN OCTOBER 2008. SEE "HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY" HEREIN. IN 2011, THIS SITE HAD 10,668 VISITS, WITH 369 ADMISSIONS SENT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA DEPARTMENT (ETD) IS DESIGNATED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AS A LEVEL II TRAUMA CENTER. THE ETD IS ALSO CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS AND IS AN ACCREDITED CHEST PAIN CENTER AS PER THE SOCIETY OF CHEST PAIN CENTERS. SINCE 2006, THE ETD HAS RECEIVED $14.6 MILLION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM THAT WILL ENHANCE THE LEVEL OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE MOBILE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROTOTYPE PRODUCED ENCOMPASSES TWO 7-BED MOBILE EMERGENCY TRAUMA UNITS, A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS VEHICLE AND A BIOLOGICAL INCIDENT RESPONSE VEHICLE.

THE UNIT ALSO HAD A NINE-PATIENT NOCTURNAL HEMODIALYSIS PROGRAM WHERE THE PATIENTS RECEIVED LONGER TREATMENTS AT THE MEDICAL CENTER THREE NIGHTS A WEEK WHILE THEY SLEPT. THE MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WERE FROM BERGEN COUNTY, WITH A PORTION FROM PASSAIC AND HUDSON COUNTIES. THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDED 37,880 HEMODIALYSIS OUTPATIENT TREATMENTS, 4,365 INPATIENT TREATMENTS, 119 PHERESIS TREATMENTS AND 3,208 PERITONEAL TREATMENTS IN 2011. RESEARCH -------- RESEARCH IS WHAT DISTINGUISHES HACKENSACKUMC FROM OTHER AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITALS. RESEARCH GIVES HACKENSACKUMC'S STAFF THE ABILITY TO EXPLORE THE NEWEST AND MOST PROMISING MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL AND SUPPORT SERVICES. THIS PURSUIT GIVES HACKENSACKUMC AND OTHER ALLIED STAFF THE EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY TO EXPLORE NEW AND BETTER APPROACHES TO MEDICINE - TO UNCOVER AND DELIVER NOVEL TREATMENT BREAKTHROUGHS. RESEARCH CENTERS ATTRACT GIFTED PHYSICIANS AND SCIENTISTS WHO COLLABORATE WITH LEADING INVESTIGATORS IN THEIR FIELD. THIS IS TRUE OF RESEARCHERS AT HACKENSACKUMC. THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROW'S CHILDREN IS A FIVE-STORY, 55,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING WHICH HOUSES THE DAVID AND ALICE JURIST INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH. THE RESEARCH CENTER CONSOLIDATES ALL OF HACKENSACKUMC'S ONGOING RESEARCH ACTIVITIES INTO ONE LOCATION. THE FACILITY ENHANCES THE TIRELESS WORK THAT THE HACKENSACKUMC'S SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIAN-INVESTIGATORS ARE PURSUING AS PARTNERS IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL MULTI-CENTER TRIALS. HACKENSACKUMC PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI DIABETES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING CENTERS FOR RESEARCH ON THE DISEASE. HACKENSACKUMC PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1, OR JUVENILE DIABETES WILL TAKE PART IN A TRIAL IN WHICH INSULIN-PRODUCING ISLET CELLS ARE TRANSPLANTED TO THEIR ABDOMENS. THIS TRIAL HAS THE PROMISE OF BEING AN IMPORTANT STEP ON THE WAY TO A CURE FOR THIS DISEASE. THE RESEARCH CENTER IS ALSO HOME TO THE DEIRDRE IMUS ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER FOR PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY. THE JURIST INSTITUTE IS NAMED FOR DAVID JOSEPH JURIST, CO-PRESIDENT OF THE TOMORROWS CHILDREN'S FUND FOR PEDIATRIC CANCER AND THE FATHER OF EILEEN JURIST, WHO WAS TREATED FOR HODGKIN'S DISEASE AT HACKENSACKUMC'S TOMORROW'S CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE FOR CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS. MR. JURIST AND HIS WIFE, ALICE, ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN ALL OF THE TOMORROWS CHILDREN'S FUND INITIATIVES. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN INCLUDE LABORATORIES FOR BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH; ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES; A "VIVARIUM"; STATE-OF-THE-ART OPERATING ROOMS; AND A LECTURE HALL EQUIPPED WITH AUDIO-VISUAL TECHNOLOGY AND A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM. SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIANS AT HACKENSACKUMC FREQUENTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DISEASES, MEDICAL CONDITIONS, TREATMENT ADVANCES, TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS, QUALITY-OF-LIFE ISSUES, AND OTHER PERTINENT RESEARCH ISSUES THROUGH PUBLICATION OF RESEARCH FINDINGS, ABSTRACTS, BOOK CHAPTERS, AND OTHER WRITTEN MATERIALS. SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE HACKENSACKUMC'S MISSION AND A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE WORLD-CLASS CARE AVAILABLE AT HACKENSACKUMC. HACKENSACKUMC'S CLINICAL, TRANSLATIONAL, AND BASIC SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAMS HAVE GROWN TREMENDOUSLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE OPENING IN 2000 OF THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN. RESEARCH STUDIES GREW FROM 75 IN 1987 TO TODAY'S 475 OPEN PROTOCOLS. HACKENSACKUMC PROTOCOLS ARE SUPPORTED BY SOME OF THE NATION'S TOP FUNDING SOURCES, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AND FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS SUCH AS PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANIES. IN 2011, $2,569,314 WAS RECEIVED FOR RESEARCH STUDIES. |

| DISCLOSURE INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 | THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS AT LEAST ANNUALLY OVER SEVERAL MEETINGS, AND APPROVES ONLY "TOTAL COMPENSATION" THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS CONCLUDED DOES NOT EXCEED WHAT THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS TO BE REASONABLE COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEE STRUCTURES AND CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS SO AS TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW. THIS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS APPLIES TO ALL FORMS OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, EACH OF WHOM IS "DISINTERESTED" AS DEFINED BY THE IRS IN ITS REGULATIONS DESCRIBING THIS STANDARD. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEW OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS DETAILED STUDY USES COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA FOR TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS OF A SIMILAR LEVEL OF NET ANNUAL OPERATING REVENUE IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHIC REGION. NO DATA FROM ANY FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES IS USED. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS USED BY THE COMMITTEE, INCLUDING ALL ACTIONS DESIGNED TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS, IS APPLIED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED 'DISQUALIFIED PERSONS' UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES. IN ADDITION TO RELYING ON MARKET DATA, THE COMMITTEE APPLIES A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESS JUDGMENT FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION FACTORS, AND THE UNIQUE DEMANDS OF PARTICULAR POSITIONS. |
