        <ReturnReference>SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 1: REQUIRED DESCRIPTIONS</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A A REPORT ON PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS IS FOUND WITHIN PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE, INC.'S (PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL'S SOLE MEMBER) ANNUAL REPORT, WHICH IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED TO THE PUBLIC BOTH THROUGH PRINTED COPIES MADE AVAILABLE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS UPON REQUEST AND THROUGH PUBLICATION ON THE PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE'S WEBSITE. ADDITIONALLY, THE REPORT WAS MAILED TO PIEDMONT FAYETTE HOSPITAL AND PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE BOARD MEMBERS, STATE AND LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS. PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7(F) THE DENOMINATOR USED FOR THE CALCULATION OF COLUMN (F), PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE, WAS THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) OF $635,583,622, LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $36,091,557 FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 24(A). FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, CONSISTENT WITH WORKSHEET 2, WAS USED TO REPORT THE AMOUNTS IN PART I, LINES 7A-7D. FOR AMOUNTS ON LINES 7E-7K, ACTUAL EXPENSES FOR EACH COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITY ARE TRACED AND REPORTED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. BAD DEBT EXPENSE CALCULATION AND FOOTNOTE SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4 BASED ON PRIOR EXPERIENCE AND CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS AND OTHER INFORMATION OBTAINED DURING ADMISSION, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSES AT COST IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. DESPITE ITS BEST EFFORTS TO EDUCATE PATIENTS ABOUT QUALIFYING FOR ITS CHARITY CARE PROGRAM (AS DISCUSSED IN PART IV, QUESTION 3 BELOW), MANY UNINSURED PATIENTS EITHER REFUSE OR FAIL TO COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION OR PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION, DURING THEIR STAY, OR AFTER BEING DISCHARGED TO QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 3, WAS DETERMINED BY TAKING THE AVERAGE ACCEPTANCE RATE FOR ALL CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DENIALS THAT WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION. THAT TOTAL WAS THEN ADJUSTED DOWNWARD FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S USE OF PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY WHEN DETERMINING ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE FROM CONSOLIDATED, AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYER CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. PIEDMONT HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 WAS CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS AND UTILIZING THE ORGANIZATION'S ALLOWABLE MEDICARE COST AS REPORTED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT, WHICH IS BASED ON A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. HOWEVER, THE ALLOWABLE COSTS IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DO NOT REFLECT THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS SINCE THE MEDICARE COST REPORT EXCLUDES MANY DIRECT PATIENT CARE COSTS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, CERTAIN COVERAGE FEES TO PHYSICIANS, COST OF MEDICARE C AND D, AND OTHER SIMILAR DIRECT PATIENT CARE EXPENSES ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM ALLOWABLE COST IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT PIEDMONT HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7 OF SCHEDULE H, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545 PROVIDES, IN PART, THAT HOSPITALS SERVING PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH INSURANCE, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS AN INDICATION THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, MEDICARE ACCOUNTED FOR 21.6 PERCENT OF PIEDMONT HOSPITAL'S PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. PIEDMONT HOSPITAL'S POLICY IS TO TREAT MEDICARE PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH MEDICARE ACTUALLY PAYS FOR THE TREATMENT. FOR MANY SERVICES, MEDICARE'S REIMBURSEMENT IS LESS THAN THE COST OF THE CARE PROVIDED, RESULTING IN SHORTFALLS THAT ARE TO BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN HONOR OF PIEDMONT HOSPITAL'S COMMITMENT TO TREAT ELDERLY PATIENTS. MANY OF THESE PATIENTS LIVE ON A LOW, FIXED INCOME, AND WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS, ABSENT THEIR ENROLLMENT IN MEDICARE. COLLECTION PRACTICES SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9(B) INITIAL SCREENINGS OF ALL INPATIENT, EMERGENCY, AND SURGERY ENCOUNTERS, AS WELL AS MOST OUTPATIENT VISITS, ARE CONDUCTED BY FINANCIAL COUNSELORS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY AVAILABLE INSURANCE OR OTHER COVERAGE FOR EACH PATIENT. COUNSELORS CONTACT PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES DIRECTLY, EITHER IN PERSON OR BY LETTER, TO ASSIST THE FAMILY IN IDENTIFYING ANY PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT/SERVICE MAY QUALIFY (INCLUDING MEDICAID, STATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM ("SCHIP"), PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENT INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND CHARITY ASSISTANCE). IF THE FAMILY CANNOT BE TIMELY LOCATED OR IS UNCOOPERATIVE, RELATED ACCOUNTS ARE TRANSFERRED TO AN INTERNAL COLLECTION DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN PAYMENT OR, IF THE PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE, TO SECURE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ORGANIZATION'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND PROCEDURES PROHIBIT ANY COLLECTION EFFORTS FOR THE PORTION OF A PATIENT ACCOUNT BALANCE THAT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>PIEDMONT HEALTHCARE UNDERSTANDS THAT NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY THEIR HOSPITAL BILL DUE TO THEIR INSURANCE STATUS OR A LIMITED INCOME, AND BECAUSE OF THIS, PIEDMONT HOSPITAL OFFERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO QUALIFYING PATIENTS. INFORMATION ABOUT AND CONTACT NUMBERS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE PROVIDED IN NOTICES INSERTED IN PATIENT BILLS AND POSTED IN EMERGENCY ROOMS, IN THE CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION FORM, AT ADMITTING AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENTS, AT HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICES, AT PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFICES THAT ARE LOCATED ON FACILITY CAMPUSES, AND AT OTHER PUBLIC PLACES THE HOSPITAL MAY ELECT, INCLUDING LOCAL LOW-COST CLINICS PRIMARILY TREATING UNINSURED POPULATIONS. PIEDMONT HOSPITAL WILL ALSO PUBLISH AND WIDELY PUBLICIZE A SUMMARY OF THIS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CARE POLICY ON ITS FACILITY WEBSITE, WHICH WILL INCLUDE A LINK TO THE FULL POLICY. REFERRAL OF PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE MADE BY ANY STAFF OR MEDICAL STAFF MEMBER AT THE HOSPITAL, INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, NURSES, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS, SOCIAL WORKERS, CASE MANAGERS, CHAPLAINS AND RELIGIOUS SPONSORS. A REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE MADE BY THE PATIENT OR A FAMILY MEMBER, CLOSE FRIEND, OR ASSOCIATE OF THE PATIENT, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE PRIVACY LAWS.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4: COMMUNITY INFORMATION</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>PIEDMONT HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN FULTON COUNTY, AND ITS PRIMARY SERVICE COMMUNITIES ARE FULTON COUNTY AND NEARBY DEKALB COUNTY. IN 2010, APPROXIMATELY 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE LIVED IN FULTON AND DEKALB COUNTIES, WITH THE MAJORITY RESIDING IN FULTON. BOTH ARE URBAN COMMUNITIES, AND TOGETHER COMPRISE THE CITY OF ATLANTA. IN BOTH COUNTIES, ABOUT 27 PERCENT OF ADULTS WERE UNINSURED IN 2012, AND OF THOSE INSURED, ABOUT ONE-THIRD RELY ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. OF THE PRIVATELY INSURED, AN ESTIMATED ONE-THIRD IS UNDERINSURED. APPROXIMATELY 14 PERCENT OF THE OVERALL ADULT POPULATION IN BOTH COUNTIES REPORTED THEY WERE UNABLE TO SEE A DOCTOR IN 2011 DUE TO COST AND, THAT YEAR, 13 PERCENT REPORTED THEY WERE IN POOR OR FAIR HEALTH, A FIGURE HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL BENCHMARK OF 10 PERCENT REPORTING THAT LOW LEVEL OF HEALTH. SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF ADULT RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES, AN AMOUNT ON PAR WITH GEORGIA'S AVERAGE OF 10 PERCENT. VIOLENCE IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE IN BOTH FULTON AND DEKALB COUNTIES, WITH RATES THAT THAT SOAR ABOVE BOTH STATE AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKS. IN DEKALB COUNTY, THERE WERE ABOUT 746 VIOLENT CRIME INCIDENTS PER EVERY 100,000 RESIDENTS IN 2011. THAT SAME YEAR, IN FULTON COUNTY, THERE WERE 953 VIOLENT CRIME INCIDENTS PER EVERY 100,000 RESIDENTS, A FIGURE MORE THAN DOUBLE THE STATE AVERAGE AND MORE THAN 13 TIMES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. THE TEEN BIRTH RATE IN FULTON AND DEKALB COUNTIES IS 47 BIRTHS PER 1,000 TEENAGED WOMEN AND 48 BIRTHS PER 1,000 TEENAGED WOMEN, RESPECTIVELY. COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF ONLY 21 BIRTHS PER 1,000 TEENAGED WOMEN, THIS FIGURE IS EXTREMELY HIGH FOR BOTH COUNTIES. ONE IN FIVE ADULTS ARE NOTABLY PHYSICALLY INACTIVE IN BOTH COUNTIES, AND ONE IN FOUR IS OBESE. ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS COULD BE AN ISSUE AS ABOUT 7 PERCENT OF FULTON COUNTY'S POPULATION DOES NOT LIVE WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF A GROCERY STORE THAT SELLS FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES, AND APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE COUNTY'S RESTAURANTS ARE FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>THE ORGANIZATION IS PART OF AN INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM") SERVING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF NORTH GEORGIA AND, SPECIFICALLY, THE METROPOLITAN ATLANTA AREA.
