      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: Any discounts provided or payments made to a particular patient account are applied to that patient account prior to any bad debt write-off and are, thus, not included in bad debt expense. The provision for uncollectible accounts is based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering historical business and economic conditions, trends in health care coverages, and other collection indicators. Periodically, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category. The results of this review are then used to make modifications to the provision for uncollectible receivables. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance, the System follows established guidelines for placing certain past due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by the system.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.</Explanation>

Ochsner Community Hospitals is part of Ochsner Health System, which comprises a total of eight hospitals (including two satellite locations) and approximately 40 health centers, when Ochsner Community Hospitals and Ochsner Clinic Foundation (an affiliated 501(c)(3) corporation) are combined.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 regions. 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. One example of this process is a school based health clinic with Jefferson parish schools. Based on the demographics for the students in the public school system, it was identified that a school based clinic was needed at Bonnabel High School in Kenner. Ochsner is the medical partner for the facility (the Bonnabel site opened in 2008).</Explanation>

Ochsner provides to the representatives daily reports of all uninsured in observation, inpatient, outpatient, emergency room and clinic status. The representatives visit with each patient and screen each patient to determine whether or not each patient meets the minimum requirements to qualify for Medicaid. If the minimum requirements are met, additional information is obtained from the patient to file a Medicaid application.If the minimum requirements are not met, the screening form is referred to a financial counselor to discuss payment options and assist the patient with the completion of a financial assistance application to determine if the patient qualifies for any other assistance programs including charity care. 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. Beginning in 2011, Ochsner began placing signs in all facilities with respect to charity care along with brochures and the charity care policy is included in every patient statement. Ochsner also offers no interest payment plan options with payment terms ranging from six to 60 months.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 5: Having a diverse representation of the community in each of its community hospital governing boards is an important part of making sure all aspects of the community Ochsner serves are being touched by the mission and vision of our organization. While Ochsner Community Hospitals is governed by a board comprised of a majority of independent community directors, 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 Board by virtue of his or her office; however, a majority of Board members 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.Both Ochsner Medical Center-Kenner, LLC and Ochsner Baptist Medical Center, LLC, disregarded entities of Ochsner Community Hospitals as the sole member, have open medical staff models, continuing the arrangement that has been in place since these two hospitals were acquired in September 2006.To help further promote the health of the community, Ochsner created the Choose Healthy initiative with a local grocery store chain which serves the same geographical region to educate shoppers. Ochsner nutritionists have identified over 500 items in the stores that meet healthy choice standards and these are marked with shelf talkers for easy identification on the aisles. The Choose Healthy initiative offers healthy cooking demonstrations, health screenings, and educational classes in the stores at no charge. There is also a website which offers shopping lists, recipes, healthy living tips and videos. All of this is available to the general public at no charge.Ochsner Health System announced a tobacco free initiative in 2010 in which all of its campuses and clinic locations became tobacco free by mid-2011. Use of all tobacco products is prohibited for all employees, patients and visitors at any Ochsner location. As a healthcare organization, Ochsner is leading by example. Ochsner Health System conducted a mental health survey on residents of areas affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010. The survey results brought attention to the need for mental health assistance for the communities that Ochsner serves.In addition to providing quality medical care to patients who visit Ochsner's hospitals and clinics, Ochsner has embraced the concept that good health doesn't begin at the doctor's office, it begins where you live, learn, work and play. Programs have been developed to promote health in our communities through education and provision of healthcare services. Some significant activities are listed below:Ochsner provides community health fairs in all its regions by organizing our own fairs and by providing staff for events being offered by other organizations. Ochsner also hosts educational forums about specific health related topics through our Hello Health programs. These are held in the community as well as on WLAE TV, a public television station in New Orleans. Ochsner staff members have also attended numerous community group meetings in order to provide health education information.Ochsner provides education and support to the Jefferson parish public school system in nutrition and physical fitness to address the childhood obesity epidemic in LA, which is ranked the 5th worst state in the nation for childhood obesity.Ochsner delivers a newsletter which highlights healthy habits to the families of 11,000 elementary school students in the fourth and fifth grades which highlights healthy habits.Ochsner sponsors and participates in multiple programs that address community economic and workforce development for the greater good. These activities support the community by offering Ochsner's expertise and resources, including sponsoring fund raising events of community organizations, and providing financial support for scholarship programs.Ochsner provides support to numerous schools, both public and parochial, throughout Southeast Louisiana, including three "adopted" schools in the New Orleans/Jefferson Parish area. In addition, Ochsner has developed a dedicated student/outreach lab as an additional resource or training lab for schools in our community.</Explanation>

For the 2010 incentive plan, which was paid in 2011, there were four weighted components: a System Financial Metric which consists of Operating Margin, a Quality and Patient Satisfaction Metric, a Human Capital Metric that consists of turnover and employee engagement survey results, 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 2011. The Chief Medical Officer also makes recommendations and the committee approves any physician leader incentive plans which also include the same type of metrics regarding financial performance, human capital metrics, patient satisfaction and personal performance evaluation. All the incentive payouts are audited by the Board Internal Audit Committee. Annually, the officers of Ochsner Health System and Ochsner Clinic Foundation review and approve executive incentive plans for the executive and physician leadership group. The plans are developed similar to the officer incentive plans; they include four weighted components: a System Financial Metric which consists of Operating Margin, a Quality and Patient Satisfaction Metric, a Human Capital Metric that consists of turnover and employee engagement survey results, and a Subjective metric based on their personal performance targets. 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).</Explanation>

        <Explanation>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 &amp; 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 &amp; Pullen. Compensation for other non-physician key employees is reviewed by senior executives who take market value research into consideration when determining compensation levels.</Explanation>

      <Explanation>Statement Regarding Hurricane Isaac The taxpayer's tax records and its tax professional/practitioner's office were located in New Orleans, LA during and after the devastation caused by Hurricane Isaac. The IRS granted special tax relief in Issue Number IR 2012-70 dated September 5, 2012 by postponing taxpayer filing and payment deadlines until January 11, 2013 for affected taxpayers hit hardest by Hurricane Isaac. Pursuant to Notice 2012-70 dated September 5, 2012 taxpayers who reside in or have a business located in the following parishes qualify for the relief: Ascension, Assumption, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville, Jefferson, Lafourche, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, Washington and West Feliciana. The Louisiana parishes listed above constitute a covered disaster area for purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 301.7508A-1(d)(2) and are entitled to the relief detailed below.Taxpayers considered to be affected taxpayers eligible for the postponement of time to file returns, pay taxes and perform other time-sensitive acts are those taxpayers listed in Treas. Reg. Section 301.7508A-1(d)(1), and include individuals who live, and businesses whose principal place of business is located, in the covered disaster area. Taxpayers not in the covered disaster area, but whose books, records, or tax professionals' offices are in the covered disaster area, are also entitled to relief. Under section 7508A, the IRS gives affected taxpayers until January 11, 2013 to file most tax returns (including individual, corporate, and estate and trust income tax returns; partnership returns, S corporation returns, and trust returns; estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax returns; and employment and certain excise tax returns) or to make tax payments, including estimated tax payments, that have either an original or extended due date occurring on or after August 26, 2012 and on or before January 11, 2013. The taxpayer respectfully requests that any interest and/or penalties that may be due as a result of the taxpayer filing its tax returns and paying its taxes after the normal extended due dates be waived. The late filing of the returns and payment of taxes after the normal extended due dates for the returns was not due to negligence or willful disregard for the law. The taxpayer has always filed its tax returns and paid its taxes by the due dates. However, due to circumstances beyond its control, the taxpayer was unable to meet the normal due dates for the returns and payments.</Explanation>
