Form990 Schedule H Part VI Form990ScheduleHPartVI (18 entries)

ExplanationExplanation	IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference
Part I, Line 3c: A Payment Advisor Score (PAS) is taken into consideration during the presumptive financial assistance process; however if a patient requests financial assistance, the PAS is not considered. The PAS is provided by a third party tool.
Part I, Line 6a: The community benefit report prepared by Ochsner Clinic Foundation is representative of the entire health system, including Ochsner Community Hospitals. The amounts reported in Schedule H are those amounts that are either directly incurred by Ochsner Community Hospitals or those that have been allocated to Ochsner Community Hospitals as a reimbursement to another organization.
Part I, Line 7: OCH estimates its costs of care provided under its charity care programs by applying a ratio of direct and indirect costs to charges to gross uncompensated revenue associated with providing care to charity patients. OCH's gross charity care revenue includes only services provided to patients who are unable to pay and qualify under OCH's charity care policies. The ratio of cost to charges is calculated based on Ochsner Community Hospital's total expenses divided by gross patient revenue.
Part I, Line 7, Column (f): 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 $ 1946317.
Part II: Ochsner endeavors to promote the health of the communities it serves through community building activities. Ochsner Community Hospitals promote economic growth in these areas by partnering and supporting organizations like Greater New Orleans Inc, Jefferson Economic Development Corporation, New Orleans Chamber Foundation, local neighborhood associations and child development programs like the Girl Scouts of America. It also aims to engage and inspire high school students to pursue further education and careers in science and medicine through its STAR ("Science, Technology, Academics and Research") program, five-week summer program that provides qualified high school students with a unique opportunity to work in a student healthcare laboratory setting.
Part III, Line 4: The footnote in the organization's financial statement that describes bad debt is as follows: "OCH recognizes net patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients who have third-party payor coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services rendered. For uninsured patients that are not eligible for charity care, OCH recognizes revenue on the basis of its standard rates for services provided (or on the basis of discounted rates, if negotiated or provided by policy). Based on historical experience, a significant portion of OCH's uninsured and underinsured patients will be incapable or reluctant to pay for the services provided. Therefore, OCH records a significant provision for bad debts in the period the services are provided related to patient receivables and deductibles, copayments, or other amounts due from individual patients that have been deemed unwilling to pay. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, OCH recorded a provision for bad debt of approximately $4,344,000 and $8,565,000, respectively."Bad debt expense at cost is calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges to the bad debt expense calculated using the above methodology.
Part III, Line 8: Medicare shortfall is not considered community benefit.Total revenue from Medicare has been taken from the E Series in the Medicare Cost Reports. They do not include Medicare Advantage or payments related to Education or Research, in compliance with the instructions. Medicare Allowable Costs were aggregated from the fiscal year cost reports for all hospitals. Worksheet D Part V Line 202 Column 5 was used for outpatient costs and Worksheet D-1 Part II Line 49, and Worksheet D-1 Part III Line 86, and Worksheet E Part A Line 55 was used for inpatient costs.The cost reports used for this schedule were the cost reports for Fiscal Year 2012. The cost report for Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner (Provider No. 19-0274) covers the period 5/1/2011 - 4/30/2012. The cost report for Ochsner Baptist Medical Center (Provider No. 19-0135) covers the period 6/1/2011 - 5/31/2012.
Part III, Line 9b: Upon granting approval for 100% assistance, all collection efforts for that account will cease, the account will not be turned over to a collection agency, and Ochsner will not impose extraordinary collection efforts such as garnishments or liens.
Part V, Section B, Line 16e: Lawsuits are filed on balance after insurance / residual balances. Patients are sent a minimum of two statements, but typically three, and scored through a third party tool to obtain FPL.	Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner, LLC

Part VI, Line 2: Ochsner serves the needs of the community through its commitment is to exemplary patient care, medical research and education. Ochsner Community Hospitals is part of Ochsner Health System, which comprises a total of eight hospitals (including two satellite locations) and approximately 50 health centers throughout Southeast Louisiana.In order to identify the needs of the community, Ochsner reviews local and state publicly available data regarding the health status and issues in its region. Ochsner works with community organizations that collect information on their areas of focus to identify trends and areas where Ochsner has expertise that can make an impact. Ochsner collaborates with multiple community stakeholders to identify specific community needs in its regions. Ochsner then reviews these needs and determines where it can best use its resources and expertise to affect those needs. One of Ochsner's main focuses is to develop partnerships to address root causes of issues. Examples of Ochsner's commitment to the community can be found in Part VI, Line 5.
Part VI, Line 3: All uninsured patients are screened for Medicaid. This process takes place at the time of service, inpatient admissions, and if the patient is not screened at the time, the patient is contacted at home to determine eligibility. In 2012, Ochsner was able to obtain Medicaid coverage for approximately 7,000 patients. If the patients do not qualify for Medicaid, then they will be evaluated under the financial assistance policy.Internal customer service departments and external partners including collection agencies provide patients with financial assistance applications if patients express concerns about the inability to pay outstanding balances. Ochsner also offers zero interest payment plan options with payment terms ranging from six to 60 months.
Part VI, Line 4: Ochsner Community Hospitals operates two multi-specialty hospitals that serve the New Orleans metropolitan area with patients that vary in age, gender, and race. The 2012 population of the New Orleans Metropolitan Standard Area, which includes eight parishes surrounding New Orleans, was approximately 1.2 million. The poverty rate in the New Orleans Metro area is 19%, 29% in New Orleans itself, and almost half of the population receives Medicaid or is uninsured. Approximately 279,000 or 28% receive Medicaid and approximately 190,000 or 19% are uninsured. Ochsner Baptist Medical Center, formerly Baptist Hospital, has a deep-rooted history in Uptown New Orleans. The facility was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Ochsner subsequently purchased the facility to revitalize it and provide badly needed healthcare to the area. With the additions made recently, including an emergency room, an expanded ICU, and additional patient beds, Ochsner Baptist is capable of handling virtually all medical and surgical cases, with the exception of trauma, obstetrics, open-heart and neurological surgery. Construction is currently underway to add Obstetrics, which is expected to open in 2013.Ochsner Medical Center-Kenner is an acute care community hospital located in Kenner, Louisiana approximately 10 miles from New Orleans. Ochsner Medical Center-Kenner encompasses most all of the services that a patient may need, including a renovated 15 bed Level II Emergency Room.
Part VI, Line 5: Having a diverse representation of the community in each of the community hospital governing boards is an important part of making sure all aspects of the community that Ochsner serves are being touched by the mission and vision of the organization. Ochsner Community Hospitals is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of a majority of independent community directors. Plus, each community hospital is managed by a Governing Board that has anywhere from 10 to 19 Directors. The Chief Executive Officer of the hospital serves on the Governing Board by virtue of his or her office. The majority of the Governing Board are prominent multi-disciplinary business and community leaders. Their role is primarily to ensure that quality and credentialing of providers is performed in accordance with expectations and within State and Federal laws and regulations. The Chair of each Governing Board is a member of the Chairman's Council of the Ochsner Health System Board of Directors, an informal gathering of each Chair to discuss common themes and challenges in the communities surrounding the hospitals and how each can leverage from the other to meet the needs of the community as a whole.Research has proven that many chronic health problems, such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension, are primarily caused by lifestyle choices. In order to reduce chronic disease in Ochsner Community Hospitals' community, society needs to change the choices and behaviors through exercise, nutrition and promotion of preventative health behaviors.Ochsner has embarked on an ambitious project to transform the health and wellness of its community, using schools as the focal point. Change the Kids, Change the Future (TM) is an overarching philosophy to alleviate the cause instead of the symptom. The goal is to teach children how to make good lifestyle choices to affect meaningful, lasting change for the health and wellness of the community. Ochsner currently provides two nurse practitioners at local high schools that staff fully functional clinics that see students through scheduled appointments and walk in visits. They also work with the schools to help educate the students about healthy choices. Ochsner is also an advocate for the health and wellness of adults. Ochsner provided various free health screenings, such as glucose, blood pressure and total cholesterol, and health information to over 2,000 people at public health fairs. Ochsner also educates people about the benefits of smart food and lifestyle choices, disease prevention and regular medical checkups through Choose Healthy!, a partnership with Rouse's grocery stores. In addition to the in-store activities, the community is able to access recipes and information on smart food choices, proper meal planning and disease-specific diet alternatives at www.choose-healthy.org. Ochsner also helps people stop smoking with its Tobacco Control & Prevention Program by attending corporate wellness events and partnering with area schools to provide educational materials and support.
Part VI, Line 6: Ochsner Health System is the supporting organization to Ochsner Clinic Foundation and Ochsner Community Hospitals. While each of the eight hospitals within the System promote the health within the separate geographical communities that they service, many overall community health initiatives are coordinated by Ochsner Health System which is then reimbursed by the respective entities.
The organization does not file a community benefit report with any state.		Part VI, Line 7:

Part I, Line 4b	Warner Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Quinlan, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Ochsner Clinic Foundation; Scott Posecai, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Bobby Brannon, Executive Vice President and Treasurer participate in a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) which is part of the terms and conditions of their employment contracts with Ochsner Health System and Ochsner Clinic Foundation and is based on a targeted replacement of a set percentage of their salary at age 65. The SERP is classified as a Supplemental Non-Qualified Retirement Plan. This benefit is funded in a Trust Account with Capital One Bank. Joseph Bisordi, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, participates in a Non-Qualified supplemental plan which is part of the terms and conditions of his employment contract with Ochsner Health System. The retirement calculation is a defined amount as a percent of base pay, calculated annually, and is earned in two vesting periods, one at age 63 March 31, 3013 at age 65 September 9, 2014 This benefit is funded in a Trust Account with Capital One Bank.
Part I, Line 6	The Physician and Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Ochsner Health System, a related 501(c)(3) organization and sole member of Ochsner Community Hospitals, reviews and approves all officer executive incentive plans, which include those for the Officers: the President & CEO, COO, CFO, Treasurer, Regional Medical Directors, and Executive Vice Presidents. For the 2011 incentive plan, which was paid in 2012, there were seven weighted components: a System Financial Metric, which consists of Operating Margin, a Human Capital Metric consisting of turnover results, a Patient Satisfaction Metric, three Quality Metrics based on provision of all recommended care and mortality and complication indexes, and a Subjective metric based on their personal performance targets. The subjective metric is assigned for the CEO by the Physician and Executive Compensation Committee and assigned for the other executives by the CEO then reviewed by the Physician and Executive Compensation Committee. Metrics other than subjective are built on percent improvement year over year. The CEO and officers did meet annual targets as set by the terms and conditions of their employment contracts and therefore the compensation committee approved the payment of the Annual Incentive Plan which was recorded as part of their compensation in 2012. All the incentive payouts are audited by the Board Internal Audit Committee. Annually, the officers of Ochsner Health System review and approve executive incentive plans for the executive and physician leadership group. The plans are developed similar to the officer incentive plans with weighted components, including a subjective metric. The subjective metric is assigned by the officer responsible for the executive or physician leader as their direct report and the CEO approves all bonuses for this group of management. All bonus amounts are provided in Schedule J Part II in Column B(ii).
Part I, Line 7	Subjective components of incentive plan are described in description of Part I, Line 6.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a	All directors, other than the Chief Executive Officer, shall be elected by the Member.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b	The Articles and Bylaws specify the following actions that require the affirmative vote or written consent of the Member: (1) Election of Directors other than the Chief Executive Officer (2) Amendment to the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (3) Corporate actions (4) Removal and replacement of any Director other than the Chief Executive Officer (5) Preparation or adherence to any capital or operating budget (6) Any expense, debt, or capital expenditure that exceeds the amount budgeted (7) Any action that is anticipated to reduce revenues below the amount budgeted (8) Any purchase or sale of any real property or encumbering any such property to secure a debt, if such action was not included in the budget (9) Guaranteeing the debt or obligation of any other person or entity (10) Beginning the practice of a health care service or specialty not previously engaged in by the Corporation if it was not included in the budget.

The Audit and Oversight Committee, which is comprised of independent directors, is then provided the return prior to the filing date and given the opportunity to review and discuss the returns with management/staff. The meeting to review the 2012 return was held on October 28, 2013. A copy of the return is then provided to each member of the Board of Directors electronically and comments are solicited from the entire Board.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	Officers, directors, trustees, and key employees are required to complete a conflicts of interest disclosure form annually, within 30 days of becoming an employee, or within 10 days of a change in business circumstances not previously disclosed. The Vice President of Corporate Integrity reviews disclosures and determines whether action is necessary or if the disclosure needs to be reviewed by the Conflicts of Interest Committee. In addition, employees that do not fall within the scope of the Conflict of Interest Disclosure policy annually certify through the Annual Employee Evaluation process their compliance with the Conflict of Interest policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	All CEO and officer compensation and benefits arrangements, including salary and bonus incentive plans, are reviewed and approved by the Executive and Senior Physician Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee). No substantive change to the compensation or benefits packages is made until Committee approval is granted in accordance with Intermediate Sanctions guidelines. The Compensation Committee is without conflicts of interest and uses an independent external consultant. Appropriate data is applied to determine the comparability of fair market value pay and all actions are appropriately documented. In order to meet the requirements of the IRS Intermediate Sanctions regulations, the Compensation Committee identified the "disqualified individuals" that are in a position to exercise substantial influence over the company's operations. These individuals are the members of the Executive Officers Committee (EOC), Regional Medical Directors, physician board members and Section Heads for key departments. For disqualified individuals, the compensation review also includes the cost of benefits such as the company portion of medical and dental benefits, malpractice insurance, payments for 401K matching and pension payments. A different review process is used for Physicians. Annually, the Corporate Integrity department reviews the salary of each employed physician. This review includes a comparison of physician salaries against national survey data for their specialty. Three surveys are used for the review: McGladrey & Pullen, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) and American Medical Group Association (AMGA). The Physician Compensation department provides salary data for each physician including base salary, stipends, on-call pay, etc. If it is determined that a physician's compensation is higher than the survey data, the total work Relative Value Units (RVUs) are compared to the survey data. This review is performed to ensure their pay is comparable to the work performed. Comparable benefit survey data is obtained periodically from McGladrey & Pullen. Compensation for other non-physician key employees is reviewed by senior executives who take market value research into consideration when determining compensation levels.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19	All governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon written request to the Corporate Integrity Department.
Part VI, Section B, 16b	When the organization evaluates its participation in a joint venture, the transactions are handled carefully to ensure that the organization's tax-exempt status is intact with regard to the arrangement. The operations of the joint venture are carefully reviewed by management and legal counsel, and the transaction is not entered into unless it is a reflection of the organization's tax-exempt purpose. A clause is inserted into the joint venture agreement that the operations of the joint venture must be performed in a manner that will not jeopardize the organization's tax-exempt status.	Joint Venture Process
Part VI, Section A, 1b	The Articles of Incorporation provide that no action of the Board may be resolved unless a majority of the independent directors present approve the matter.
