        <Explanation>Board-designated (Quasi-Endowment) funds are assets set aside by the Board for future unspecified uses and to support education and other programs over which the Board retains control and may, at its discretion, subsequently use for other purposes. Permanent Endowment funds are assets received with the donor stipulation that the principal be invested in perpetuity and that only the income earned thereon is available for specific or general services, such as free bed funds and support of Hospital operations. Temporarily restricted Endowment funds are assets restricted by the donor either as to purpose and/or as to time of expenditure, such as education, health services and capital purchases.

        <Identifier>Q1 - Part I, line 3c: In general, Middlesex Hospital ("the Hospital")</Identifier>
        <Explanation>uses FPG to determine eligibility. There are, however, special circumstances (such as a catastrophic event) which may affect a patient's ability to pay. In this case, the Hospital evaluates the application with consideration given to the patient's current situation. With special circumstances the FPG threshold may be ignored and the Hospital may use the patient's assets and/or tax return itemized deductions to determine the amount of financial assistance. Q1 - Part I, line 7, column (f): The percent of total expense in Part 1, Line 7, Column (f) is calculated by dividing column (e), net community benefit expense, by total expense. The bad debt expense of $12,199,395 was subtracted from the total expense value used to calculate the percentages in Part 1, Line 7, Column (f). Q1 - Part I, line 7: For Part 1, Line 7 sections (a) financial assistance at cost, (b) Medicaid, (c) costs of other means-tested government programs, portions of (f) health professions education, and (g) subsidized health services, the costing methodology used is a hybrid cost accounting/Medicare Cost-to-Charge Ratio calculation. The percentages are derived from the most current Medicare Cost Report and applied by charge line appropriately. Indirect costs were applied to subsidized health services. The Medicare Cost Report does not address all areas of the Hospital in the same detail, but does accurately address inpatient and outpatient, Homecare and to an extent physician services. Sections (e) community health improvement; portions of (f) health professions education, (h) research, and (i) cash and in-kind contributions to community groups are comprised (except for cash donations and in-kind material donations) of 1) supply expenses; 2) purchased services; and 3) the direct salary costs for Hospital staff whose time was compensated by the Hospital for time spent participating in activities that qualify as community benefits plus the current fiscal year fringe benefit rate. Indirect costs were applied to subsidized services and to a small selection of salaries and services under community health improvement, research, and community benefit operations, but not broadly across all community benefit activity entries. Q1 - Part II: Middlesex Hospital's participation in Community Building activities has a vital role in continuing to promote health, well-being and safety for residents in its service area and, in some cases, the international community. The Hospital offers its resources and expertise to support and strengthen community assets in a variety of programs that fall under the scope of community building. Staff members are highly participative in community partnerships and coalitions, the success of which are greatly enhanced by Hospital collaboration - many community initiatives would not be as effective without the Hospital's administrative and clinical staff in-kind involvement, support and expertise. As Community Building participation is focused on having a direct impact on improving the health of the community, it meets the criteria for inclusion in community benefit aggregate totals. In FY12 the Hospital's Community Building Activities totaled $303,591 and served 1,647 individuals. Examples include (but are not limited to): " Opportunity Knocks (OK): a multidisciplinary community coalition that includes 70+ collaborators comprised of local health and social service agencies, early care and education providers and parents. The goals are to ensure that children enter kindergarten physically and emotionally healthy and ready to succeed. Since its inception in 2003, OK has served approximately 7,922 children ages 0-5. Middlesex Hospital provides: funding; the program planner, a physician champion, grant-writing support, fiscal administration for the funding sources and participation from multiple departmental staff members. " The Middlesex Hospital-Sayaxche Community Partnership: extends the Hospital's involvement in community health to the global community. The goal of the project is to establish a long-term, collaborative, mutually beneficial and ethically sound partnership between Middlesex Hospital and the Middletown, CT community with the healthcare infrastructure of the Peten region in Guatemala. Middlesex Hospital annually funds and hosts a site-visit for a delegation from Guatemala for teaching and educational purposes. The Hospital contributes in-kind staff hours and donated supplies. " Disaster Readiness: For disaster readiness, the Hospital plays a pivotal role by working in collaboration with key community partners to ensure the safety of the community at large during a potential disaster. To prepare for disasters, the Hospital participates in school safety committees; community flu preparation committees; statewide/regional emergency management committees; regular collaborative community education and drills; and hosts yearly radiation drills for the staff of a local nuclear power plant. In addition, the Hospital purchases and stock-piles large quantities of extensive pandemic supplies to be used should a community-wide disaster occur. Included in this stock-pile are medications for infectious disease and chemical exposure curatives. The majority of the value of the supplies, space utilization and costs associated to monitor and replenish pandemic products (within expiration dates) are absorbed by the Hospital. Q1 - Part III, line 4: The Bad Debt Expense amount in Part III, line 2 is based on charges and tied to the Hospital's audited financial statements. The Hospital accounts for discounts and payments on patient accounts in determining bad debt expense by reducing bad debt by recoveries on the Hospital's financials. For Part III, line 3, the Hospital estimates that 10% of its Bad Debt expense is attributable to patients eligible under the organization's financial assistance policy. The Hospital has a well-established process with its third party agencies to capture as many patients eligible for financial assistance as possible and awards financial assistance to those patients in collections who are known to qualify. Once in collections, there are two methods which enable patients to receive financial assistance awards: 1) patients either complete a financial assistance application, meet eligibility criteria and are approved; or 2) the third party organizations that work on behalf of the Hospital to collect balances screen for financial assistance eligibility. In order to ensure that all patients in collections are aware of financial assistance availability, the Hospital requires third party organizations to follow the Hospital's policies regarding patient notification about the Hospital's financial assistance program. Within the policy there is a provision whereby collection agencies, using guidelines set forth by the Hospital, assist the Hospital in identifying patients who do not have a means to pay for services and therefore qualify for the Hospital's financial assistance program - while these patients have not gone through the formal application process, they meet the eligibility guidelines for financial assistance as defined by the Hospital. These patients are then transferred and included under the Hospital's financial assistance umbrella. While this process captures the majority of those who are eligible for charity care, the Hospital recognizes it will still have a population of patients who could potentially qualify for charity care and do not receive awards - those who are uncooperative, unresponsive or have moved away. Middlesex Hospital does not provide text in the footnote to its financial statements that describes bad debt expense. The Hospital estimates a reserve for uncollectible accounts against its patient accounts receivables. When bad debts are identified, they are accounted for as a component of the operating expense provision for bad debts net of recoveries. Bad debt dollars are not included in any of the Hospital's programmatic community benefit values and, while noted, are not included in the Hospital's community benefit totals in any Hospital community benefit publication. Q1 - Part III, line 8: The Medicare Cost Report is the costing methodology system used to determine the amount reported on Part III, Lines 5 and 6. The Hospital utilizes Worksheet 6 found in the Form 990 Instructions for Schedule H to calculate its subsidized services. The instructions state that "the financial loss is measured after removing losses, measured by cost, associated with bad debt, charity care, Medicaid and other means-tested government programs". Given that the instructions don't suggest removing losses associated with Medicare, a portion of Medicare is included in the Hospital's subsidized service calculations. So as not to double count Medicare values in Part III, Section B, Lines 5 and 6, the portion of Medicare Shortfall included in our subsidized services calculations has been subtracted from the Medicare revenue and costs der</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Identifier>Middlesex Hospital conducts research in the domains of clinical and</Identifier>
        <Explanation>community health. Clinical examples include national trials by the Hospital's Cancer Center for breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, among others. For FY12, the Hospital's associated costs for all research projects totaled $432,797 and served 68 individuals. Financial and In-Kind Contributions: Middlesex Hospital supports the community in the form of financial and in-kind contributions. The Hospital's in-kind contributions include equipment, food, linens and medical supplies that are donated both locally and globally. Other in-kind donations include cafeteria discounts for YMCA residents and staff coordination of community support drives. The Hospital's main campus and satellite locations make meeting space available, free-of-charge and on an on-going basis, for many community groups that would otherwise struggle to pay for space. In addition, each year the Hospital makes substantial cash donations to carefully selected mission-driven community organizations throughout its service area. The Hospital's FY12 support for financial and in-kind contributions totaled $417,391, serving 6,659 individuals. Community Benefit Operations: Community Benefit Operations include activities and costs associated with community benefit strategic planning, administration, annual goal attainment, and community health needs assessment production and implementation. Middlesex Hospital has a dedicated manager of community benefit, along with a community benefit steering committee (comprised of hospital leadership) that oversees community benefit planning and operations. Outside of on-going community benefit activities, the main goals of the Hospital's community benefit program in FY12 continued to focus on the health assessment priority areas and collaborating with community partners. The Hospital's FY12 Community Benefit Operations expense totaled $353,550. Q6 - Affiliated Health System: N/A. Middlesex Hospital is not part of an affiliated health care system. Q7 - Community Benefit Report Filing: Under the Connecticut General Statutes 19a-127k, hospitals that have a community benefit program in place, as specified by the statute, are required to report biennially to the State of CT. This biennial community benefit reporting is currently under the auspices of the State of Connecticut's Office of the Healthcare Advocate. As Middlesex Hospital meets the statute as having a community benefit program in place, it reports biennially to the State of CT's Office of the Healthcare Advocate.</Explanation>
