WPAHS, Inc. Inclusion In The Consolidated Audit of WPAHS	Form 990, Schedule D, Part X Question 2, Part XII and XIII	West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. does not receive its own independent audit. It is a member of a regional healthcare system named West Penn Allegheny Health System. West Penn Allegheny Health System receives a consolidated audit that includes the operations of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. The following analysis represents the reconciliation between the financial statement net income and the net income as reported on Form 990, Page 1, line 19: Net income per financial statements $52,092,113 Plus: Income and expense reclassified from restricted net assets on the financial statements to unrestricted income and expense on Form 990 5,174,054 Less: Unrealized gain reflected in unrestricted income on the financial statements and reclassified to net assets on Form 990 (825,033) ___________ Net income per Form 990 $56,441,134 The following is the footnote to the audited consolidated financial statements of the West Penn Allegheny Health System for FASB ASC 740: WPAHS adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a more-likely than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. Under FASB ASC 740, tax positions will be evaluated for recognition, derecognition, and measurement using consistent criteria and will provide more information about the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabilities. Based on an analysis prepared by WPAHS, it was determined that the application of FASB ASC 740 had no material effect on the recorded assets and liabilities of WPAHS.
Intended Use of the Organization's Endowment Funds	Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4	The intended use of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. permanent and term endowments are for, but not exclusive to: capital improvements, research, education, departmental needs, operating efficiencies, and overall patient care.

IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
Bad Debt Expense Financial Statement Footnote and Costing Methodology	Schedule H, Part III, Question 4	West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. does not issue separate audited financial statements and therefore a footnote does not exist. Bad debt expense is accounted for on a charge basis in our internal financial statements. A cost to charge ratio is applied to the internal figures to convert the charge to cost. It is the opinion of West Penn Allegheny Health System management that because patients are often reluctant to complete the required charity care paperwork that an unquantifiable amount of charity care results in bad debt. Thus, it is our opinion that bad debt expense can be considered a justifiable componet of charity care.
Medicare Shortfall as a Community Benefit and Costing Methodology	Schedule H, Part III, Question 8	West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. receives overall reimbursement from Medicare less than the cost of the services provided. As such, we consider the shortfall a community benefit. The source used to determine the amount reported on Line 6 is the medicare cost report.
Collection Practices For Patients Who Qualify For Financial Assistance	Schedule H, Part III, Question 9b	Patients that qualify for charity care or financial assistance are provided with an approval letter with the effective dates for the assistance. At any time the individual presents for services within a 90 day span of approval, they show the letter and will be registered as a charity care case. Charity care cases are designated in the internal computerized systems with unique plan codes that prevent billing to the patient. Reports are run to capture the patient accounts registered with the charity care plan codes so they can be written off to charity care.
Charges For Medical Care	Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 19d	West Penn Allegheny Health System offers uninsured patients a fifty percent (50%) discount on total gross charges to all hospital charges. The intent of the discount is to standardize charging practices for covered and non covered patients. The discount is offered during patient contact for elective/ urgent (non cosmetic) procedures during the financial counseling process, as well as during the patient statement cycle process for services provided (including Emergency services.) Patient statements are clearly marked with the uninsured discount, reducing the "amount owed" of the gross charges. An uninsured discount of 50% is applied to the patient account either at the time of payment or prior to transferring the account to bad debt upon conclusion of the routine four statement cycle, for any unpaid balances. This methodology is applied consistently among the three Hospitals of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc.
Charges Equal To Gross Charges For Patient Services	Schedule H, Part V, Line 21	Each facility offers a variety of procedures. For elective and non medically emergent procedures not covered by health plans, individual fee schedules are published and communicated prior to services. Patients are contacted in advance of the procedure by financial counselors and are required to pay for services in full based on the fee schedule. The patient is required to pay the hospital fee schedule for the technical component and the physician for the professional services rendered. This methodology is applied consistently among the three Hospitals of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc.
Health Needs Assessment	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2	West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. management and staff utilize multiple strategies to continually monitor and assess the health care needs of the communities it serves. One approach to assessing needs involves surveying community members about health needs related to national and state health goals. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. also acts on expressed community needs by responding to direct community requests for health screenings, outreach events and other health-related activities and by maintaining longstanding programs that are well attended and positively evaluated by community participants. In addition, West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. gathers community input through participation in area rotaries, chambers of commerce, through partnerships with community organizations and other community engagement activities. Another means is through reviewing and taking appropriate actions on feedback gathered from the following sources: routine market assessments; patient and family satisfaction surveys; Press Ganey surveys; patient, patient family and staffs' suggestions for improving patient safety; medical staff input and physician surveys. In addition to the ongoing community health monitoring and assessment, West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is actively working towards a formal community health needs assessment (CHNA) for each Hospital that will be completed for the fiscal year end June 30, 2013. This assessment is currently being done separately for each hospital. Each hospital will have its personal needs assessment findings published and available to the general public as well as an implementation strategy adopted by the board of directors. The needs assessment will involve systematically analyzing demographic and other health-related data, considering local, state and national health goals, understanding existing community health resources and programs, as well as engaging and actively soliciting input from community partners and community members with special knowledge of public health. It is expected that the WPAHS, Inc. board of directors will approve and implement the CHNA plan prior to June 30, 2013.
Patient Education For Eligibility For Assistance	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3	Each West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. Hospital displays signage in various patient Admission, Registration and Emergency Department areas that alerts that patient to Account Assistance program availability and contact information. During the preservice process, patients are evaluated to determine financial assistance options. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. offers the "Account Assistance Program" which consists of application assistance for governmental eligibility, Charity Care application completion and submission support, as well as uninsured provisions. Account Assistance summaries are available on the West Penn Allegheny Health system website www.wpahs.org under the link titled, "Care for Uninsured" are available to the public. The Charity Care application, as well as, a Medical Assistance check list is available for patients who wish to self-apply. In addition to the documents, toll free telephone numbers regarding Account Assistance, charity and/or other financial inquiries are available. The website also contains a copy of the brochure that summarizes the Account Assistance program, as well as provides various governmental and internal numbers to patients seeking additional support. Each Hospital also provides on-site support through Financial Counselor staff who are available to work with patient walk in's. Financial Counselors work directly with the patients as well as designated agency support regarding qualifying patients for Medical Assistance. Both week day and weekend coverage is available to the patients, as well as field support needed for post discharge follow up needed for application submission. The above support is available at no charge to the patient.

These services are necessary to advance the healthcare of the communities we serve, therefore we undertake and subsidize the services with the understanding that they will result in a financial loss.
