THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND SUBSIDIZED BY THE ORGANIZATION: IF NEBH DISCONTINUED THESE SERVICES, THEN OTHER COMMUNITY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WOULD BEAR THE ADDITIONAL BURDEN OF COVERAGE AND SERVICE. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF THE PROGRAMS (PLEASE SEE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PROGRAMS BELOW) THAT WERE SUBSIDIZED BY THE HOSPITAL IN FY 2012: DIRECT NET COMMUNITYSUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE EXPENSE OFFSETTING BENEFIT EXPENSE REVENUEORTHOPEDIC BRACES TO 340,647 - 340,647PATIENTS AT NO COSTCOMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES 413,237 (186,831) 226,406IN MISSION HILLPASTORAL & PSYCHIATRIC CARE 123,658 - 123,658COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES 536,629 (387,572) 149,057IN HYDE PARK TOTAL $1,414,171 $(574,403) $839,768ORTHOPEDIC BRACES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS AT NO COSTAS A CENTER OF ORTHOPEDIC EXCELLENCE, NEBH IS A PLACE WHERE THE CARE AND COMFORT OF OUR PATIENTS EXTENDS BEYOND THEIR HOSPITAL VISIT. THE NEBH BRACE PROGRAM PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH THE CUSTOM DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT (DME) THEY NEED AFTER SURGERY OR HOSPITAL VISIT. EACH PATIENT NEED IS DIFFERENT AND THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BEST PROTECT, SUPPORT, AND REHABILITATE PATIENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. COMMON NEEDS INCLUDE: AN ACU PATIENT NEEDING A CUSTOM CAST, WALKING BOOT, WALKER OR BRACE AFTER A FALL; A PATIENT REQUIRING A CUSTOMIZED ORTHOTIC FOR PROTECTION BEFORE GOING HOME AFTER SURGERY; OR A PATIENT CONTINUING REHABILITATION USING A CONTINUOUS PASSIVE MOTION DEVICES (CPM'S). THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW OUR PATIENTS TO SAFELY EXIT THE HOSPITAL AND SUPPORT THEM AS THEY RETURN TO THEIR DAILY ROUTINES. IN FY 2012, THE BRACE PROGRAM REQUIRED A NET SUBSIDY OF $341K.COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES ON MISSION HILL & HYDE PARKNEBH IS A REFERRAL AND APPOINTMENT BASED ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. IN FY 2012 TOTAL INPATIENT HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS WERE 7,619, OF WHICH 96% WERE FOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES - PRIMARILY HIP, KNEE, AND OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL PROCEDURES; AND OUTPATIENT ACTIVITY WERE PREDOMINANTLY APPOINTMENT SURGERIES AND RELATED ANCILLARY VISITS TO RADIOLOGY, LAB, AND PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINICS. THE ACU, AS MENTIONED ABOVE, IS DESIGNED TO MEET THE URGENT CARE NEEDS NOT MET BY OUR APPOINTMENT BASED STRUCTURE. BEYOND URGENT CARE AND APPOINTMENT SURGERIES, THOUGH, THE HOSPITAL IDENTIFIED A NEED WITHIN ITS IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY FOR CONTINUING CARE. IN FY 2009, THE HOSPITAL HIRED A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN WITH OFFICES ON MISSION HILL, DR. BILL TSIKITAS, TO PROVIDE THOSE IN THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY WITH A FIRST CONTACT FOR UNDIAGNOSED HEALTH CONCERNS OR PREVENTIVE CARE NEEDS. SIMILARLY TO THE ACU, PATIENTS WITH CONDITIONS BEST SERVED BY OTHER HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS ARE TRANSFERRED. HIS PRACTICE IS NOT DESIGNED OR MAINTAINED TO FIND AND REFER ORTHOPEDIC CASES. IN FY 2012, DR. TSIKITAS' PRACTICE REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $226K AND THE HOSPITAL EXPECTS A SIMILAR FINANCIAL LOSS IN FUTURE YEARS. BOSTON'S FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION HAS INCREASE BY ALMOST 50% OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS AND NOW MAKES UP AN ESTIMATED 28% OF THE POPULATION, WELL ABOVE THE STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGES MAKING BOSTON ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. THE ORIGIN OF THESE RECENT IMMIGRANTS IS INCREDIBLY DIVERSE: NO SINGLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN REPRESENTS MORE THAN 10% OF THIS FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE OVER 140 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN BOSTON HOMES. SETTLEMENT OF RECENT IMMIGRANTS IS SIMILARLY DIVERSE, AS EVERY BOSTON NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SEEN ITS FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION GROW AT HIGHER RATES THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION. HYDE PARK, A NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF BOSTON (APPROXIMATELY A FIFTEEN MINUTE DRIVE FROM NEBH) HAS EXPERIENCED SIMILAR GROWTH IN DIVERSITY. NEBH HAS SINCE FY 2005 SUBSIDIZED THE PRACTICE OF DR. GREGORY TALALYEVSKY, A RUSSIAN-SPEAKING PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, TO THE MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THAT COMMUNITY. DR. TALALAYEVSKY SMALL PRACTICE HAS A STEADY PATIENT BASE OF THE ELDERLY AND RUSSIAN-SPEAKING POPULATION IN HYDE PARK. THESE PATIENTS AND OTHER NON-PROFITS OR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WOULD SUFFER UNWANTED BURDENS IF HIS PRACTICE WERE TO CLOSE. IN FY 2012, DR. TALAYEVSKY'S PRACTICE REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $150K AND THE HOSPITAL EXPECTS A SIMILAR FINANCIAL LOSS IN FUTURE YEARS.
PASTORAL & PSYCHIATRIC CARE NEBH OFFERS MINISTRY SERVICES AND IS FULLY ACCREDITED THROUGH THE ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION. CHAPLAINS, LED BY DR. KEN LARSEN, PROVIDE SPIRITUAL COUNSELING UPON REQUEST. A FULL CHAPEL IS OPEN TO ALL VISITORS, PATIENTS, AND EMPLOYEES, AS WELL AS PRAYER ROOM LOCATED NEXT TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU). ADDITIONALLY, DR. LARSEN AND HIS STAFF OFFER PASTORAL AND PSYCHIATRIC CARE TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, SUPPORTING THEIR EMOTIONAL WELL BEING WHILE THEY RECOVER PHYSICALLY. NEBH STANDARD PSYCHIATRIC CARE INCLUDES EVALUATIONS DURING PRE-ADMISSION SCREENING, MONITORING OF PATIENTS DURING PRE & POST-OPERATIVE PERIODS, AND FOR CERTAIN PATIENTS, SUPPORT DURING DETOXIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF PAIN. THE HOSPITAL OFFERS THESE PASTORAL AND PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT, FOR THE WELL BEING OF ITS PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND OUR COMMUNITY. IN FY 2012, THESE SERVICES REQUIRED A SUBSIDY $124K AND THE HOSPITAL EXPECTS A SIMILAR FINANCIAL LOSS IN FUTURE YEARS.SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: PART I, LINE 7(F): HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATIONNEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL (NEBH) SERVES AS A TEACHING HOSPITAL AFFILIATED WITH THE TUFTS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND MAINTAINS RESIDENCY PROGRAMS SPECIALIZING IN ORTHOPEDICS AND RADIOLOGY.

THESE SERVICES ARE OFFERED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR COMMUNITY: IF NEBH DISCONTINUED THESE SERVICES, THEN OTHER COMMUNITY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WOULD BEAR THE ADDITIONAL BURDEN OF COVERAGE AND SERVICE. AMBULATORY CARE UNIT (ACU)ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, NEBH STILL PROVIDES CARE TO ALL WHO NEED URGENT CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. NEBH OPERATES AN AMBULATORY CARE UNIT (ACU) WHICH FUNCTIONS AS AN URGENT CARE CLINIC. TRIAGE AND ASSESSMENT OF A PATIENT'S CONDITION IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK REGARDLESS OF THE ACU'S HOURS OF OPERATION. THE ACU OPERATES TREATMENT HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK, WITH EARLY MORNING, FULL DAY AND EVENING HOURS ON ALL DAYS, TO ACCOMMODATE AS MANY PATIENTS AS POSSIBLE. WHERE A PATIENT COMES TO NEBH IN NEED OF URGENT CARE AFTER ACU HOURS, CARE IS STILL PROVIDED. NO PATIENT IS TURNED AWAY WITHOUT CARE. AFTER ACU HOURS, THE PATIENT IS SEEN AND THEIR MEDICAL CONDITION ASSESSED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY CAN BE TREATED AT NEBH OR WHETHER THEIR CONDITION WOULD REQUIRE A TRANSFER TO BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A RELATED TERTIARY CARE ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER AND ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C) (3) OF 1986, AS AMENDED, WHICH IS LOCATED JUST MILES AWAY FROM NEBH. ALL PATIENTS WHO COME TO NEBH, AND WHO CAN BE ADEQUATELY TREATED AT NEBH, ARE TREATED AND NOT TRANSFERRED, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR CARE. SINCE CARE IS NOT CONDITIONAL ON AVAILABLE BUDGET OR OTHERWISE RATIONED, THE ACU MAY RUN A DEFICIT. IN FY 2012, THE SHORTFALL WAS $1,532K.SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: PART I, LINE 7(H): RESEARCHTHE NEBH DIVISION OF RESEARCH SUPPORTS EXISTING RESEARCH GROUPS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL IN CLINICAL, TRANSACTIONAL, AND PATIENT-CENTERED RESEARCH, WITH A FOCUS ON THREE KEY AREAS: JOINT REPLACEMENT, OSTEOARTHRITIS, AND SPINE RESEARCH. EACH YEAR, THE DIVISION OF RESEARCH HOSTS A SYMPOSIUM WHERE RESEARCH PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO THE PUBLIC. NEBH RESEARCH IS PREDOMINANTLY SELF-FUNDED.SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: PART I, LINE 7(I):CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITY HEALTH RELATED INITIATIVESIN 2009, MEMBERS FROM THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE MET WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE MISSION HILL / ROXBURY DISTRICT TO DEFINE WHAT NEEDS THERE WERE IN THIS COMMUNITY. THE NEEDS EXPRESSED ALONG WITH INFORMATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH LED TO NEBH FOCUSING ON THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY HEALTH RELATED AREAS: A. MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH: OSTEOPOROSIS, ARTHRITIS & LUPUSB. MOBILITY AND ELDERLY TRANSPORTATIONC. FOOD SECURITY & HUNGERD. OBESITYA. MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTHOSTEOPOROSIS OSTEOPOROSIS, A DISEASE OF BONES THAT LEADS TO INCREASE RISK OF FRACTURES IS A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. AN ESTIMATED 10 MILLION AMERICANS ARE ESTIMATED TO ALREADY HAVE THE DISEASE AND ALMOST 34 MILLION MORE ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE LOW BONE MASS, PLACING THEM AT INCREASED RISK FOR OSTEOPOROSIS. TWENTY PERCENT OF NON-HISPANIC CAUCASIAN AND ASIAN WOMEN AGED 50 AND OLDER ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS, AND 52 PERCENT ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE LOW BONE MASS. WHILE OSTEOPOROSIS IS OFTEN THOUGHT OF AS AN OLDER PERSON'S DISEASE, IT CAN STRIKE AT ANY AGE. YET, OSTEOPOROSIS CAN BE PREVENTED THROUGH EDUCATION ABOUT AND ADOPTION OF HEALTHY BEHAVIORS AROUND NUTRITION, EXERCISE AND SUPPLEMENTS. THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (DPH) HAS IDENTIFIED OSTEOPOROSIS AS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE AND ESTABLISHED THE OSTEOPOROSIS AWARENESS PROGRAM. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OLDER ADULTS. EVEN MODEST LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, DONE EACH DAY FOR A TOTAL OF 30 MINUTES, CAN PREVENT OR CONTROL OSTEOPOROSIS AND WEIGHT GAIN. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL (NEBH OR HOSPITAL) AND ITS COMMUNITY HAVE IDENTIFIED OSTEOPOROSIS PREVENTION AS SHARED GOAL: TO BE ACHIEVED THROUGH INCREASED EDUCATION, ACTIVITY AND HOPEFULLY, BEHAVIOR CHANGE. NEBH PROVIDED FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES TO ADDRESS OSTEOPOROSIS. ONE PROGRAM IN PARTICULAR THAT WAS SELECTED WAS THE WALKING GROUP AT ROXBURY TENANTS OF HARVARD: A WALKING /EXERCISE PROGRAM HELD IN MISSION HILL, SERVING BETWEEN 20-40 WOMEN AND MEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 40 AND 80 FROM ALL ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS AT EACH SESSION. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDED FUNDING TO SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM. THE HOSPITAL ALSO OFFERS COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS STRETCHING, EATING HEALTHY, ETC. TO MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP. ARTHRITIS AND LUPUS SUPPORT GROUPTHE GOAL OF THIS INITIATIVE IS TO ADDRESS ACCESS, EDUCATION, TREATMENT, AND SUPPORT NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH ARTHRITIS AND LUPUS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE UNDER-SERVED POPULATIONS IN THE CITY OF BOSTON, TARGETING WOMEN OF COLOR. THIS GOAL WAS IDENTIFIED AFTER THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION AND THE HOSPITAL WORKED TOGETHER WITH A JOINT GOAL OF PROVIDING OUTREACH AND SERVICES INTO THE COMMUNITY OF COLOR. FOR 2012, THE GROUP ASKED FOR A CONTINUATION OF THE GUEST SPEAKER SERIES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON HEARING FROM MORE PROVIDERS. SPEAKERS COVERED A VARIETY OF ISSUES INCLUDING NEW MEDICATIONS FOR ARTHRITIS, JOINT REPLACEMENT, NEW THERAPIES AND TREATMENTS, RESOURCES FOR DISABILITIES AND HELPFUL TECHNIQUES TO MANAGE ARTHRITIS AND LUPUS. SPEAKERS AND EVENTS WERE SCHEDULED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. PARTICIPANTS THIS YEAR REMAINED DIVERSE: ABOUT 50% BLACK, 40% CAUCASIAN, AND 10% LATINA. ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION'S LET'S MOVE TOGETHER WALKTHE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION'S LET'S MOVE TOGETHER WALK ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO MOVE TO PREVENT OR TREAT ARTHRITIS. THERE ARE 27 MILLION PEOPLE WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS, THE MOST COMMON FORM OF ARTHRITIS, 1.3 MILLION PEOPLE WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE THAT CAN LEAD TO CHRONIC PAIN, LOSS OF FUNCTION AND DEFORMITY AND 300,000 CHILDREN (OR ONE IN 250) WITH JUVENILE ARTHRITIS, WHICH AFFECTS CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF INFANCY AND 17. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL (NEBH) HAS PARTNERED WITH THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION'S, GREATER BOSTON CHAPTER ON THEIR LET'S MOVE TOGETHER WALK, IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS BY RAISING AWARENESS AND REDUCING THE IMPACT OF ARTHRITIS, WHICH IS THE NATION'S LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY.
GREATER BOSTON SENIOR GAMESSINCE 2001, NEBH HAS BEEN A SPONSOR OF MAYOR THOMAS M. MENINO'S GREATER BOSTON SENIOR GAMES. THE GAMES PROVIDE OLDER ADULTS (50 YEARS AND OLDER) THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ATHLETIC COMPETITIONS, PROMOTING WELLNESS, AND KEEPING THEM ACTIVE. BENEFITS INCLUDE: MAINTAINING PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL FITNESS, SOCIALIZATION, KEEPING AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE, REDUCING ISOLATION, PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES, MEETING PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT CULTURES, LANGUAGES AND CUSTOMS AND MAINTAINING ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM. DURING THE FIVE-DAY GAMES, SENIOR ATHLETES PARTICIPATE IN THEIR CHOICE OF EVENTS INCLUDING BILLIARDS, BOCCE, BOWLING, GOLF, HALF-COURT BASKETBALL, HORSESHOES, SOCCER KICK, SOFTBALL THROW, SWIMMING, TENNIS, TRACK AND A NON-COMPETITIVE WALK. JR. CELTICS PROGRAMTHE JR. CELTICS PROGRAM, PRESENTED BY NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL, CHALLENGES 3RD TO 5TH GRADERS TO DEVELOP THEIR BASKETBALL GAME THROUGH SKILLS, DRILLS AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING. THE JR. CELTICS HELD TWO PROGRAMS IN THE MISSION HILL AREA THAT BENEFITTED YOUTH IN MISSION HILL.B. MOBILITY & ELDERLY TRANSPORTATIONTHE MISSION HILL NEIGHBORHOOD IS LOCATED ON OF THE HIGHEST HILLS AND POINTS IN BOSTON. WHILE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE AT POINTS AROUND AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, MISSION HILL ITSELF LACKS SUFFICIENT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. THE COMMUNITY NEED FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT AMONG THE ELDERLY POPULATION OF THE MISSION HILL NEIGHBORHOOD. NEBH HAS PARTNERED WITH MISSION HILL LINK, INC., A LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY BUS SERVICE TO THE MISSION HILL SECTION OF BOSTON, FOR MANY YEARS. NEBH FUNDS ALMOST HALF OF THE MISSION HILL LINK BUDGET EACH YEAR. IN ADDITION, THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS IS A VOLUNTEER MEMBER OF THE MISSION HILL LINK BOARD. BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVE REGULAR FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY RIDERS OF EXPERIENCES AND NEEDS.C. FOOD SECURITY & HUNGERHUNGER IS ON THE RISE IN MASSACHUSETTS. SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE CHILDREN IN THE MISSION HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ARE ON FREE BREAKFAST / LUNCH PROGRAM. FOOD IS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN FAMILIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS, SCHOOL VACATIONS, AND WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE NOT ATTENDING SCHOOL. IN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES, FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN SUFFER FROM HUNGER FOUR TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE. NEBH IS COMMITTED TO COMBATING HUNGER IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH THE GOAL OF BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE FOOD TO THE APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY CENTERS AND SCHOOLS SO THAT NO ONE GOES HUNGRY.IN 2012, NEBH PARTNERED WITH THE ACTION FOR BOSTON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (ABCD) PARKER HILL/FENWAY NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE CENTER AND THE MISSION HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO COMBAT HUNGER. ABCD HOUSES A FOOD PANTRY FOR THE ROXBURY/MISSION HILL COMMUNITY THAT SERVES 200 FAMILIES IN THEIR HOME EACH MONTH. FAMILIES AT THE FARRAGUT SCHOOL WERE ABLE TO HAVE DINNER DURING THE THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. COMMUNITY RELATIONS STAFF MEETS REGULARLY WITH ABCD STAFF AND THE FARRAGUT SCHOOL TO MAKE SURE THERE IS FOOD FOR FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. D. OBESITYOBESITY HAS REACHED EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES AND MASSACHUSETTS. WHILE MANY EPIDEMICS CAN BE DEFEATED WITH A PILL OR A VACCINE, OBESITY REQUIRES CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR AS WELL AS ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, NUTRITIOUS FOODS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN THE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE LIVE. LOW INCOME RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE FOR A VARIETY OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC REASONS AND LOW INCOME RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, OSTEOARTHRITIS AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. NEBH HAS A LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF BOSTON RESIDENTS, WITH A FOCUS ON MISSION HILL. THE GOAL OF THIS INITIATIVE IS TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN ORDER TO COMBAT OBESITY. THE HOSPITAL HAS WORKED TOGETHER WITH THE MISSION HILL LITTLE LEAGUE, MISSION HILL SOFTBALL LEAGUE, MAURICE J. TOBIN COMMUNITY CENTER AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. WORKING WITH THESE AND OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS, WE HAVE A GOAL TO DECREASE THE NUMBER AND PERCENTAGE OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE, BY PROMOTING WELLNESS AND EXERCISE. IN 2012, NEBH PROVIDED MAINTENANCE FOR MCLAUGHLIN FIELD, A PARK AT THE TOP OF MISSION HILL COMPRISED OF TWO BALL FIELDS AND A PLAYGROUND, AND FUNDING FOR LIGHTS AT THE FIELD. NEBH ADDITIONALLY PROVIDES FUNDING SUPPORT OF THE LEAGUES AS WELL AS A SUMMER CAMP AT THE MAURICE J.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, LINE 1: PART III, SECTION B., LINE 8: MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND COSTING METHODOLOGYMEDICARE SHORTFALLTHE HOSPITAL MAY ON OCCASION REPORT A SHORTFALL RELATED TO ITS CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THIS SHORTFALL CAN BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT DUE TO ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:- IRS REV. RUL. 69-545, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD FOR NONPROFIT HOSPITALS, STATES THAT IF A HOSPITAL SERVES PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, INCLUDING MEDICARE, THEN THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS IMPLIES THAT TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.- MEDICARE IS THE LARGEST PAYER FOR THE HOSPITAL AND ITS COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL MUST ACCEPT THESE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY MAKE A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT FROM PROVIDING SUCH SERVICES. IF THE MEDICARE PARTICIPATION IS PREMISED ON THIS FACT, THEN PROVIDING MEDICARE SERVICES PROMOTES ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHICH IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.- IN OUR COMMUNITY, MANY LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE MEDICARE BENEFITS.- THE ELDERLY ARE OFTEN AN UNDERSERVED POPULATION WHO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. WITHOUT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS PROVIDING MEDICARE SERVICES, CMS WOULD BEAR THE BURDEN OF DIRECTLY PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE ELDERLY.MEDICARE COSTING METHODOLOGYTHE HOSPITAL USES THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS COMPUTED IN ITS FY 2012 MEDICARE COST REPORT FILING FOR AMOUNTS REPORTED IN PART III, SECTION B OF THIS TAX RETURN.SCHEDULE H, PART VI: LINE 1: PART III, SECTION C., LINE 9B: BILLING & COLLECTION PRACTICESDOES THE ORGANIZATIONS COLLECTION POLICY CONTAIN PROVISIONS FOR PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE?YES.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHILE THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT USES DIFFERENT NAMES FOR THE POLICIES THAT HOSPITAL MUST FOLLOW TO SHOW HOW THEY ARE PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS; THE OVERALL REQUIREMENTS ARE THE SAME. AS A RESULT, THIS POLICY IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH BOTH THE STATE HEALTH SAFETY NET REGULATIONS ON "CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES" AND THE FEDERAL HEALTHCARE REFORM LAW'S "FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY" REQUIREMENTS AS RECENTLY CLARIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IN THEIR FEBRUARY 23, 2011 INSTRUCTIONS TO THE FORM 990. THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, CITIZENSHIP, ALIENAGE, RELIGION, CREED, SEX, SEXUAL PREFERENCE, AGE, OR DISABILITY IN ITS POLICIES OR IN ITS APPLICATION OF POLICIES, CONCERNING THE ACQUISITION AND VERIFICATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION, PRE-ADMISSION OR PRE-TREATMENT DEPOSITS, PAYMENT PLANS, DEFERRED OR REJECTED ADMISSIONS, LOW INCOME PATIENT STATUS AS DETERMINED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF MEDICAID, DETERMINATION THAT A PATIENT IS LOW-INCOME, OR IN ITS BILLING AND COLLECTION PRACTICES.THIS CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS DEVELOPED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE CRITERIA REQUIRED UNDER (1) THE HEALTH SAFETY NET ELIGIBLE SERVICES REGULATION (114.6 CMR 13.00), (2) THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES MEDICARE BAD DEBT REQUIREMENTS (42 CFR 413.89), (3) THE MEDICARE PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENT MANUAL (PART 1, CHAPTER 3), AND (4) THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R) AS REQUIRED UNDER THE SECTION 9007(A) OF THE FEDERAL PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (PUB.

GENERAL PRINCIPLESFINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS INTENDED TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME PATIENTS WHO DO NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THEIR HEALTH CARE SERVICES. SUCH ASSISTANCE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HIS OR HER CARE. FOR THOSE PATIENTS THAT ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED, THE HOSPITAL WILL WORK WITH THEM TO ASSIST WITH APPLYING FOR AVAILABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT MAY COVER ALL OR SOME OF THEIR UNPAID HOSPITAL BILLS. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES THIS ASSISTANCE FOR BOTH RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS OF MASSACHUSETTS; HOWEVER, THERE MAY NOT BE COVERAGE IN A STATE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR A MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITAL'S SERVICES THROUGH AN OUT-OF STATE RESIDENT. IN ORDER FOR THE HOSPITAL TO ASSIST UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS FIND THE MOST APPROPRIATE COVERAGE OPTIONS AS WELL AS DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT IS FINANCIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR ANY DISCOUNTS IN PAYMENTS, PATIENTS MUST ACTIVELY WORK WITH HOSPITALS TO VERIFY THE PATIENT'S DOCUMENTED FAMILY INCOME, OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT COULD BE USED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY.2. HOSPITAL SCREENING AND ELIGIBILITY APPROVAL PROCESSTHE HOSPITAL PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR THROUGH THE HOSPITAL'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WHICH MAY COVER ALL OR SOME OF THEIR UNPAID HOSPITAL BILL. FOR THOSE PATIENTS THAT REQUEST SUCH ASSISTANCE, THE HOSPITAL ASSISTS PATIENTS BY SCREENING THEM FOR ELIGIBILITY IN AN AVAILABLE PUBLIC PROGRAM AND ASSISTING THEM IN APPLYING FOR THE PROGRAM. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: MASSHEALTH, COMMONWEALTH CARE, CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SECURITY PLAN, HEALTHY START, AND THE HEALTH SAFETY NET. WHEN APPLICABLE, THE HOSPITAL MAY ALSO ASSIST PATIENTS IN APPLYING FOR COVERAGE OF SERVICES AS A MEDICAL HARDSHIP BASED ON THE PATIENT'S DOCUMENTED FAMILY INCOME, CURRENT AND PRIOR INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND ALLOWABLE MEDICAL EXPENSES.
IT IS THE PATIENT'S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THE HOSPITAL WITH ACCURATE AND TIMELY INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR FULL NAME, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (IF AVAILABLE), CURRENT HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE OPTIONS (INCLUDING ANY OTHER INSURANCE OR COVERAGE OPTIONS (LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE POLICY OR WORKER'S COMPENSATION POLICY) THAT CAN COVER THE COST OF THE CARE RECEIVED), ANY OTHER APPLICABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES, AND CITIZENSHIP AND RESIDENCY INFORMATION. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE COVERAGE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE PATIENT. IF THERE IS NO SPECIFIC COVERAGE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED, THE HOSPITAL WILL USE THE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE IF THE SERVICES MAY BE COVERED BY AN APPLICABLE PROGRAM THAT WILL COVER CERTAIN SERVICES DEEMED BAD DEBT.

GENERAL PRINCIPLESFINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS INTENDED TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME PATIENTS WHO DO NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THEIR HEALTH CARE SERVICES. SUCH ASSISTANCE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HIS OR HER CARE. FOR THOSE PATIENTS THAT ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED, THE HOSPITAL WILL WORK WITH THEM TO ASSIST WITH APPLYING FOR AVAILABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT MAY COVER ALL OR SOME OF THEIR UNPAID HOSPITAL BILLS. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES THIS ASSISTANCE FOR BOTH RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS OF MASSACHUSETTS; HOWEVER, THERE MAY NOT BE COVERAGE IN A STATE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR A MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITAL'S SERVICES THROUGH AN OUT-OF STATE RESIDENT. IN ORDER FOR THE HOSPITAL TO ASSIST UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS FIND THE MOST APPROPRIATE COVERAGE OPTIONS AS WELL AS DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT IS FINANCIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR ANY DISCOUNTS IN PAYMENTS, PATIENTS MUST ACTIVELY WORK WITH HOSPITALS TO VERIFY THE PATIENT'S DOCUMENTED FAMILY INCOME, OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT COULD BE USED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY. 2. HOSPITAL SCREENING AND ELIGIBILITY APPROVAL PROCESSTHE HOSPITAL PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR THROUGH THE HOSPITAL'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WHICH MAY COVER ALL OR SOME OF THEIR UNPAID HOSPITAL BILL. FOR THOSE PATIENTS THAT REQUEST SUCH ASSISTANCE, THE HOSPITAL ASSISTS PATIENTS BY SCREENING THEM FOR ELIGIBILITY IN AN AVAILABLE PUBLIC PROGRAM AND ASSISTING THEM IN APPLYING FOR THE PROGRAM. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: MASSHEALTH, COMMONWEALTH CARE, CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SECURITY PLAN, HEALTHY START, AND THE HEALTH SAFETY NET. WHEN APPLICABLE, THE HOSPITAL MAY ALSO ASSIST PATIENTS IN APPLYING FOR COVERAGE OF SERVICES AS A MEDICAL HARDSHIP BASED ON THE PATIENT'S DOCUMENTED FAMILY INCOME, CURRENT AND PRIOR INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND ALLOWABLE MEDICAL EXPENSES. IT IS THE PATIENT'S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THE HOSPITAL WITH ACCURATE AND TIMELY INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR FULL NAME, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (IF AVAILABLE), CURRENT HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE OPTIONS (INCLUDING ANY OTHER INSURANCE OR COVERAGE OPTIONS (LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE POLICY OR WORKER'S COMPENSATION POLICY) THAT CAN COVER THE COST OF THE CARE RECEIVED), ANY OTHER APPLICABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES, AND CITIZENSHIP AND RESIDENCY INFORMATION. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE COVERAGE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE PATIENT. IF THERE IS NO SPECIFIC COVERAGE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED, THE HOSPITAL WILL USE THE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE IF THE SERVICES MAY BE COVERED BY AN APPLICABLE PROGRAM THAT WILL COVER CERTAIN SERVICES DEEMED BAD DEBT. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL WILL USE THIS INFORMATION TO DISCUSS ELIGIBILITY FOR CERTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMS. IF THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION, THE HOSPITAL MAY (AT THE PATIENT'S REQUEST) MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO OBTAIN ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES. THIS WILL OCCUR WHEN THE PATIENT IS SCHEDULING THEIR SERVICES, DURING PRE-REGISTRATION, WHILE THE PATIENT IS ADMITTED IN THE HOSPITAL, UPON DISCHARGE, OR FOR A REASONABLE TIME FOLLOWING DISCHARGE FROM THE HOSPITAL.

FOLLOWING THIS THREE DAY PERIOD, THE PATIENT AND THE PROVIDER MUST WORK WITH THE MASSHEALTH ENROLLMENT CENTERS TO SECURE THE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION NEEDED FOR ENROLLMENT IN THE APPLICABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ALL VIRTUAL GATEWAY AND PAPER APPLICATIONS ARE REVIEWED AND PROCESSED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF MEDICAID, WHICH USES THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, ASSET INFORMATION, AS WELL AS THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION LISTED ABOVE AS THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR STATE SPONSORED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. THE ELIGIBILITY FOR ENROLLMENT INTO THE HEALTH SAFETY NET PROGRAM FOR FULL OR PARTIAL HEALTH SAFETY NET COVERAGE IS ALSO DETERMINED THROUGH THE VIRTUAL GATEWAY.

ITS PRIMARY COMMUNITY SERVICE AREA IS THE BOSTON NEIGHBORHOOD OF MISSION HILL; HOWEVER, THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT BASE AND SERVICES EXTEND TO OTHER BOSTON NEIGHBORHOODS AND SURROUNDING TOWNS.
PRIMARY COMMUNITY SERVICE AREA: MISSION HILL, BOSTONMISSION HILL IS A ONE SQUARE MILE NEIGHBORHOOD LOCATED APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE FROM BOSTON'S DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT. APPROXIMATELY THREE QUARTERS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS RESIDENTIAL MADE-UP OF PRIVATELY OWNED ONE TO THREE FAMILY BUILDINGS AND A NUMBER OF MULTI-FAMILY BUILDINGS. MISSION HILL'S POPULATION OF 18,722 PEOPLE IS RACIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY DIVERSE. THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS NAMED IN MARCH 2008 AS ONE OF 25 "BEST ZIP CODES IN MASSACHUSETTS" BY THE BOSTON GLOBE, CITING INCREASED VALUE IN SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, PLENTIFUL RESTAURANTS AND SHOPPING, A MARKED RACIAL DIVERSITY AND THAT 65% OF RESIDENTS WALK, BIKE OR TAKE TRANSIT TO WORK. ATOP THE HILL IS NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL AND MCLAUGHLIN PLAYGROUND, WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE HOSPITAL GROUNDS DOWN PARKER HILL AVENUE. MCLAUGHLIN PLAYGROUND, IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST POINTS IN THE CITY WHERE YOU CAN OBSERVE A PANORAMIC VIEW OF DOWNTOWN BOSTON, BOSTON HARBOR, AND THE BLUE HILLS.THE LONGWOOD MEDICAL AREA (LMA) MAKES UP THE OTHER ONE QUARTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WITHIN THE LMA ARE 21 INSTITUTIONS FOCUSING ON HEALTH CARE, RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES. THESE INSTITUTIONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF JOBS IN CITY OF BOSTON OUTSIDE OF THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT EMPLOYING 37,000 PEOPLE WITH MORE THAN 52,000 PEOPLE WORKING OR STUDYING IN THE LMA ON A TYPICAL WEEKDAY.

ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE TRENDS WAS THE GROWTH AND DIVERSITY OF BOSTON'S FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION: IT HAS INCREASED BY ALMOST 50% OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS AND NOW REPRESENTS AN ESTIMATED 28% OF THE POPULATION. NEARLY 1/3RD OF THIS POPULATION ARE RECENT IMMIGRANTS, ARRIVING WITHIN THE LAST TEN YEARS. THESE AVERAGES AND TOTALS ARE WELL ABOVE THE STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGE MAKING BOSTON ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. FURTHER, THE FOREIGN-BORN ARE INCREDIBLY DIVERSE, AS NO SINGLE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN REPRESENTS MORE THAN 10% OF THE POPULATION. IN FACT, ESTIMATES BY THE CITY OF BOSTON REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IDENTIFY OVER 140 LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN BOSTON HOMES. SETTLEMENT OF RECENT IMMIGRANTS IS SIMILARLY DIVERSE, AS EVERY BOSTON NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SEEN ITS FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION GROW AT HIGHER RATES THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION.AGINGAN OVERALL TREND IN MASSACHUSETTS AND THE UNITED STATES, AND ONE THAT DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT AND COMMUNITY BASE IS THE RAPID GROWTH IN ITS OLDER POPULATION. AMERICANS AGED 65 AND OLDER IS EXPECTED TO MORE THAN DOUBLE IN THE NEXT FORTY YEARS, A GROWTH RATE MUCH GREATER THAN THAT OF THE GENERAL POPULATION.

ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	HTTP://WWW.NEBH.ORG/HOME/ABOUT-US/MISSION/DEFAULT.ASPX NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF THOSE WE SERVE BY PROMOTING WELLNESS, RESTORING FUNCTION, LESSENING DISABILITY, ALLEVIATING PAIN, AND ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE IN MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASES AND RELATED DISORDERS. OUR MISSION IS DELIVERED ON A FOUNDATION OF RESPECT, OWNERSHIP, SUPERIOR SERVICE AND EXCELLENCE IN ALL THAT WE DO.
PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL'S (NEBH OR HOSPITAL) PRIMARY PURPOSE IS THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AN ACUTE CARE, ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL AND PROVISION OF ALL SERVICES RELATED THERETO FOR THE BENEFIT OF PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL OPERATES AS AN ADULT MEDICAL / SURGICAL HOSPITAL WITH A NATIONAL REPUTATION IN ORTHOPEDIC CARE. PATIENTS ARE OFFERED A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES IN ORTHOPEDICS AND RHEUMATOLOGY, JOINT REPLACEMENT, SPINE CARE, FOOT AND ANKLE CARE, HAND SURGERY, OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE AND SPORTS MEDICINE. WE PROVIDE A NUMBER OF QUALITY CLINICAL SERVICES. THESE CLINICAL SERVICES ARE DIVIDED INTO CARE CENTERS. WE HAVE AN ORTHOPEDIC CARE CENTER, AS WELL AS CARE CENTERS FOR MEDICAL, SURGICAL, DIAGNOSTICS AND SUPPORT SERVICES, REHABILITATION SERVICES AND PATIENT CARE. THROUGH OUR CARE CENTERS, OUR PATIENTS RECEIVE NOT ONLY THE FINEST ORTHOPEDIC SERVICES, BUT ALSO DIAGNOSTIC, SURGICAL, MEDICAL AND REHABILITATIVE TREATMENT THAT'S BEYOND COMPARE. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL STRIVES TO PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANCED METHODS OF HEALTH CARE COMBINED WITH COMPASSIONATE, HIGHLY SKILLED AND WELL TRAINED PROVIDERS OF CARE. OUR NURSES AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE FOCUSED ON OUR PATIENTS AND MEETING OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS. THE CARE AND COMFORT OF OUR PATIENTS IS OUR HIGHEST MISSION. CARE TO ALL PATIENTS NEBH IS THE FRONTLINE CAREGIVER PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, THE HOSPITAL OFFERS CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS THAT COME TO OUR FACILITY 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND 365 DAYS A YEAR. NEBH ASSISTS PATIENTS IN OBTAINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND OTHER SOURCES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE. I. MEDICAID & MEDICARE: MEDICAID NEBH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT LOW INCOME FAMILIES, INCLUDING PARTICULARLY THE MEDICAID PROGRAM, WHICH IS JOINTLY FUNDED BY FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS. THE MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH REFORM LAW PROVIDED AN INITIATIVE FOR EXPANSION OF MEDICAID COVERAGE TO GREATER POPULATIONS AND FOR ENROLLMENT OF UNINSURED PATIENTS IN OTHER INSURANCE PROGRAMS. PAYMENTS FROM MEDICAID AND OTHER PROGRAMS WHICH INSURE LOW INCOME POPULATIONS DO NOT COVER THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED. IN AGGREGATE, THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED BY THE NEBH FOR SUCH SERVICES EXCEEDED REIMBURSEMENT BY $958,167 FOR THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, 1.65% OR 2,387 OF NEBH'S PATIENT ENCOUNTERS WERE WITH MEDICAID PATIENTS. THIS TRANSLATED TO $944,112 IN MEDICAID REVENUE WHICH WAS LESS THAN THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED BY NEBH FOR SUCH SERVICES BY $958,167, AS REPORTED WITHIN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7B. NEBH ALSO MADE PAYMENTS TO THE HEALTH SAFETY NET TRUST (HSN) TO SUPPORT THE DELIVERY OF CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS THROUGHOUT MASSACHUSETTS. THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL PAYMENTS TO THE HSN WERE $1,624,509 FOR THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING AND QUANTIFIED AS PART OF CHARITY CARE REPORTED IN THIS SCHEDULE H, PART I LINE 1A. THIS AMOUNT IS ALSO REPORTED AS A COMPONENT OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE EXPENSE IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS. MEDICARE MEDICARE IS THE FEDERALLY SPONSORED HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR ELDERLY OR DISABLED PATIENTS AND NEBH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, 33% OR 47,751 OF NEBH'S PATIENT ENCOUNTERS WERE WITH MEDICARE PATIENTS. THIS TRANSLATED TO $60,767,698 IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE; HOWEVER, BECAUSE PAYMENTS TO HOSPITALS THROUGH THIS GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PROGRAM HAVE NOT KEPT PACE WITH INFLATION, REVENUE COLLECTED WAS LESS THAN THE COST OF SERVICES BY $4,954,499. ALTHOUGH NEBH CONSIDERS THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, THE ADDITIONAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $4,954,499 IS NOT QUANTIFIED ON PAGE 1 OF THE SCHEDULE H, PER THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS. RATHER IT HAS BEEN SEPARATELY REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H PART III AS REQUIRED. IF NEBH HAD INCLUDED THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN THE CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT CALCULATION, THE PERCENTAGE ON SCHEDULE H WOULD HAVE INCREASED TO 3.76%.

NEBH OPERATES A COMMUNITY WALK-IN CLINIC (CWC) WHICH FUNCTIONS AS AN URGENT CARE CLINIC. TRIAGE AND ASSESSMENT OF A PATIENT'S CONDITION IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK REGARDLESS OF THE CWC'S HOURS OF OPERATION. THE CWC OPERATES TREATMENT HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK, WITH EARLY MORNING, FULL DAY AND EVENING HOURS ON ALL DAYS, IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE AS MANY PATIENTS AS POSSIBLE. WHERE A PATIENT COMES TO NEBH IN NEED OF URGENT CARE AFTER CWC HOURS, CARE IS STILL PROVIDED. NO PATIENT IS TURNED AWAY WITHOUT CARE. AFTER CWC HOURS, THE PATIENT IS SEEN AND THEIR MEDICAL CONDITION ASSESSED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY CAN BE TREATED AT NEBH OR WHETHER THEIR CONDITION WOULD REQUIRE A TRANSFER TO BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A RELATED TERTIARY CARE ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER AND ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3) OF 1986, AS AMENDED, WHICH IS LOCATED JUST MILES AWAY FROM NEBH.
