ExplanationExplanation	IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference
PART I, LINE 7: COST IS DERIVED FROM THE ACTUAL EXPENSE DATA ACCUMULATED WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. ("UHS") GENERAL LEDGER WHICH ADDRESSES ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS (INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, EMERGENCY ROOM, PRIVATE INSURANCE, MEDICAID, MEDICARE, UNINSURED, AND SELF-PAY). UHS ALLOCATES THOSE EXPENSES TO ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS AT THE PROCEDURE LEVEL BASED ON A COST TO CHARGE RATIO AND AGGREGATES THE EXPENSES AT THE PATIENT LEVEL.
PART I, L7 COL(F): BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 24, COLUMN (A) IS $61,230,109. UHS EXCLUDED THE FULL AMOUNT, $61,230,109, FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN COLUMN (F), ON PART I, LINE 7.
PART II: THE ACTIVITIES REPORTED IN PART II SEEK TO ACHIEVE SPECIFIED OBJECTIVES, INCLUDING: IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, ENHANCING PUBLIC HEALTH, AND RELIEF OF GOVERNMENT BURDEN. THE ACTIVITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FOCUSING ON LOW-INCOME CONSUMERS.
PART III, LINE 4: TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN PART III, LINES 2 AND 3, UHS USES ACTUAL EXPENSE DATA ACCUMULATED BY PATIENT WITHIN THE TRENDSTAR SYSTEM BASED ON A COST TO CHARGE RATIO.THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER UHS'S CHARITY CARE POLICY CONSISTS OF ALL BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS WHEREBY THE PATIENTS: 1. DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE APPROPRIATE TNCARE OR CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS (IF THEY FOLLOWED THROUGH CHARITY WOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED). 2. HAD TNCARE COVERAGE BUT NOT AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. (A MAJORITY WERE PATIENTS DISENROLLED BY THE TNCARE PROGRAM. THESE PATIENTS NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH REAPPLYING FOR TNCARE OR CHARITY CARE.) 3. LIABILITY AMOUNTS REMAINED UNPAID AFTER THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PAID AND THEY NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH CHARITY APPLICATION.THE TEXT OF THE UHS AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS READS: "NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED AND INCLUDES ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO FUTURE AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED, AND SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN OR AS YEARS ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF UHS' UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THEREFORE, UHS RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS. THIS PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS PRESENTED ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AS A COMPONENT OF NET PATIENT REVENUE."UHS PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. UHS DOES NOT REPORT AS REVENUE THE CHARGES THAT QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE BECAUSE UHS DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF THOSE AMOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 8: THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COST REPORTED IN THE UHS MEDICARE COST REPORT, AS REFLECTED IN THE AMOUNT REPORTED IN PART III, LINE 6, IS DERIVED FROM THE ACTUAL EXPENSE DATA FROM THE UHS GENERAL LEDGER. UHS ALLOCATES THOSE EXPENSES TO PATIENTS AT THE PROCEDURE LEVEL BASED ON A COST TO CHARGE RATIO.THE SHORTFALL OF $5,577,081 AS REPORTED IN PART III, LINE 7, SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE, ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS. IRS REVENUE RULING 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. ALSO, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS, AND THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS.
PART III, LINE 9B: IT IS THE POLICY OF UHS TO PURSUE COLLECTION OF PATIENT BALANCES FROM PATIENTS WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES. IF ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE IS APPROVED, THE PATIENT ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE WILL SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE PATIENT TO INFORM HIM/HER OF APPROVAL OR PROVIDE OTHER INSTRUCTIONS. IF APPROVED FOR AN ADJUSTMENT, THE PATIENT ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE WILL SUBMIT THE INFORMATION TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS, WHO WILL PROCESS THE WRITE-OFF OR OTHER DISCOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT APPLY TO ALL PATIENTS, CHARITY CARE AND NON-CHARITY CARE PATIENTS, CONSISTENTLY AND FAIRLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE STATUS. THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE MEDICAL CENTER ("MEDICAL CENTER"), AS A TRAUMA CENTER, OFTEN TREATS PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD AN UNPLANNED CATASTROPHIC HEALTHCARE OCCURRENCE. PATIENTS MAY HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY ONLY A PORTION OF THE ENTIRE COST. ALLOWANCES ARE MADE TO ADJUST THEIR HIGH BALANCES TO A MORE MANAGEABLE PAYOFF AMOUNT. WE UTILIZE AN INCOME CRITERION TO ADJUST A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE BALANCE AS A CHARITY DISCOUNT. PATIENT ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVES DILIGENTLY WORK WITH PATIENTS AND EVALUATE NEW INFORMATION LEARNED DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS TO DETERMINE IF COLLECTION ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE CEASED OR IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20D: THE STATE OF TENNESSEE ALLOWS A HOSPITAL TO CHARGE NO MORE THAN 185% OF THE MOST RECENTLY SETTLED COST TO CHARGE RATIO IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. UHS AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDS A 45% DISCOUNT TO SELF-PAYING PATIENTS. THIS 45% DISCOUNT COMPLIES WITH STATE REGULATIONS.	UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.
PART VI, LINE 2: UHS SUPPORTS AND STRENGTHENS OUR KEY COMMUNITIES THROUGH DELIVERING NEEDED SERVICES BY LEADING AND PARTNERING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO POSITIVELY IMPACT HIGH PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ("CHAC") ANALYZES MULTIPLE SOURCES OF HEALTH STATUS, DEMOGRAPHIC, AND SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION TO IDENTIFY KEY COMMUNITIES, PRIORITIZE SPECIFIC POPULATION NEEDS, AND DETERMINE THE FOCUS FOR UHS INVOLVEMENT. THE CHAC REVIEWS AND FORMULATES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ORGANIZATIONAL INVOLVEMENT FOR IDENTIFIED NEEDS. THE CHAC TEAM LEVERAGES OUR CORE COMPETENCIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND ACTION PLANS TO ADDRESS THESE PRIORITIES. THE CHAC MONITORS PROGRESS THROUGH ACTION PLANS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND REPORTS RESULTS QUARTERLY TO SENIOR LEADERS AND TO THE CHAC. IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR LOCAL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROGRAMS, A COLLABORATION WAS FORMED TO BRING TOGETHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAKE UP OUR LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM AND SERVES TO GUIDE OUR COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND TAKE ACTION ON PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES. TOGETHER! HEALTHY KNOX PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR LOCAL PROGRAMMATIC AND FISCAL DECISION-MAKING AND INFORMS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIC COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN COOPERATION WITH MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH PARTNERS. UHS UTILIZES DATA OBTAINED DURING THIS ASSESSMENT INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE DELIVERY OF SELECT SERVICES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. UHS' IMPACT OF SUPPORT IS DETERMINED THROUGH A COMMUNITY BENEFIT DATABASE ANALYSIS OF DISBURSEMENTS AND ANNUAL PROCESS REVIEW.
PART VI, LINE 3: TO COMMUNICATE THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL POLICY TO THE PATIENT, THE "UNDERSTANDING YOUR HOSPITAL BILL" BROCHURE IS MADE AVAILABLE AT ALL POINTS OF REGISTRATION (INTAKE, PROCESS AND DISCHARGE) AND FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ALONG WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS SPECIFIC CASES. THE BROCHURE INSTRUCTS THE PATIENT TO CONTACT THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR OR PATIENT ACCOUNTS FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CHARITY AND OTHER APPLICABLE DISCOUNTS.

	EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA SERVICES THE MEDICAL CENTER IS THE ONLY LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER IN THE REGION FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN AND SERVES AS THE TERTIARY REFERRAL CENTER FOR MEDICAL CARE IN EAST TENNESSEE, SERVING KNOX COUNTY AND TWENTY SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THE HEALTHCARE EXPERTS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TREAT MORE THAN 80,000 PATIENTS IN A YEAR WITH A COMMITMENT TO INDIVIDUALIZED PATIENT AND FAMILY CENTERED CARE AND TEAMWORK. WHETHER ARRIVING BY AMBULANCE, AEROMEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICE, OR PRIVATE VEHICLE, PATIENTS RECEIVE A FULL RANGE OF MEDICAL CARE. THE FACILITY IS COMPRISED OF FOUR AREAS: A CRITICAL RESUSCITATION BAY FOR THE MOST SERIOUSLY INJURED OR ILL PATIENTS; AN EMERGENT TREATMENT AREA FOR THOSE WITH A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM; A RAPID EVALUATION AND TREATMENT AREA FOR THE LESS ILL AND INJURED, AND A FAST-TRACK AREA FOR THOSE WITH MINOR INJURY OR ILLNESS. TO HOLD A LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER DESIGNATION, UT MEDICAL CENTER, PROVIDES A TEAM OF SPECIALLY TRAINED PERSONNEL TO MEET THE EMERGENT AS WELL AS ON-GOING AND CHANGING NEEDS OF THE TRAUMA PATIENTS FROM ADMISSION TO DISCHARGE. THE HEAD OF THIS TEAM IS THE TRAUMA SURGEON WHO SUPERVISES AND COORDINATES PATIENT CARE. VARIOUS SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS SUCH AS A NEUROSURGEONS, ORTHOPEDIC SURGEONS, OR MAXILLOFACIAL OR PLASTIC SURGEONS ARE READILY AVAILABLE AND ARE CONSULTED AS NEEDED. AFTER EVALUATION IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CRITICAL TRAUMA PATIENTS THEN ARE TRANSPORTED TO THE 23-BED TRAUMA SURGICAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (TSICU). IN THE TRAUMA SURGICAL ICU, THE PATIENT IS FURTHER EVALUATED AND ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES ARE COMPLETED SUCH AS FOLLOW UP X-RAYS, SUTURING, SPLINTING AND OBSERVATION. CRITICALLY INJURED PATIENTS ARE COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING. THEY OFTEN REQUIRE MASSIVE RESUSCITATION, INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE AND PARTIAL BRAIN TISSUE OXYGENATION MONITORING, MECHANICAL VENTILATION, CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY, AS WELL AS MANY OTHER SPECIALIZED TREATMENTS AND PROCEDURES. THE TSICU IS STAFFED WITH EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS SUCH AS CRITICAL CARE NURSES, RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, CASE MANAGERS AND CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANTS. AS AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER, EXISTING CLINICAL RESEARCH IS EVALUATED, NEW RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED AND CARE PATHS ARE EVIDENCED BASED ALLOWING PATIENTS THE MOST UP-TO-DATE CARE AVAILABLE. MULTIDISCIPLINARY DAILY ROUNDS ARE MADE BY THE TRAUMA TEAM CONSISTING OF RESIDENT PHYSICIANS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS, RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, AND STUDENTS LED BY ATTENDING PHYSICIANS WHO DISCUSS THE CARE AND PROGRESS OF TRAUMA PATIENTS AND ESTABLISH THE DAILY PATIENT GOALS WHILE ENSURING HIGH QUALITY COMPREHENSIVE CARE PLANNING. FAMILIES ARE ASKED AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND THESE ROUNDS INCLUDING THEM AS PART OF THE TEAM CARING FOR THEIR LOVED ONE. THE STAFF OF THE TRAUMA CENTER UTILIZE THE PATIENT AND FAMILY CENTERED MODEL OF CARE. EVIDENCE OF THIS INCLUSIVE MODEL IS DEMONSTRATED BY OUR OPEN VISITATION HOURS, FAMILY PRESENCE AT ROUNDS, REFERRALS TO CASE MANAGEMENT, PASTORAL CARE AND IN THE ONGOING COMMUNICATION WITH THE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. HEART LUNG VASCULAR INSTITUTE THE HEART LUNG VASCULAR INSTITUTE ("HLVI") WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2000 TO HELP MEET THE INCREASING NEED FOR CARDIOVASCULAR AND LUNG DISEASE CARE. HEART DISEASE, STROKE AND PULMONARY DISEASE ARE AMONG THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES. IN ADDITION, TENNESSEE IS ONE OF THE WORST FIVE STATES FOR SMOKING, OBESITY, AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE ALL OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEART AND LUNG DISEASE. QUALITY AND SAFETY IN PATIENT CARE HAVE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR MISSION AT THE HLVI. THIS LED TO THE BUILDING OF A DEDICATED HEART HOSPITAL WITH A STATE OF THE ART CARDIOVASCULAR INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (CVICU). MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS, INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS, RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, AND OTHERS, USE EVIDENCE-BASED CARE PLANS TO IMPLEMENT A PATIENT-FAMILY CENTERED MODEL OF CARE. FACILITY DESIGN, TECHNOLOGY, AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS ALSO SUPPORT OUR GOAL OF EXCELLENCE. THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE MEDICAL CENTER IS THE AREA'S ONLY ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER, AND RESEARCH INTO THE CAUSE AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE IS PART OF OUR MISSION. THE OTHER ROLE OF ACADEMICS INVOLVES PHYSICIAN EDUCATION; THE UT GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE CURRENTLY OFFERS FELLOWSHIPS IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE, VASCULAR SURGERY AND PULMONARY MEDICINE. THE GOALS OF THE HEART LUNG VASCULAR INSTITUTE ARE TO ATTAIN EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE, PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, REHABILITATION SERVICES, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE MEANS OFFERING THE BEST DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT PLANS USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN A COMPASSIONATE MANNER AND KEEPING THE PATIENT AND FAMILY INFORMED AND COMFORTABLE, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. PREVENTIVE MEDICINE INVOLVES EDUCATION ABOUT CARDIOVASCULAR AND LUNG DISEASE PROCESSES AND RISK REDUCTION THROUGH COMMUNITY SEMINARS AND SCREENINGS SUCH AS THE HEARTWISE PROGRAM. REHABILITATION SERVICES HELP PATIENTS RECOVERING FROM HEART ATTACKS, HEART FAILURE, HEART AND LUNG SURGERY, AND CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE. THE HEART LUNG VASCULAR INSTITUTE SUPPORTS THE MEDICAL CENTERS' VISION TO BE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE, MEDICAL EDUCATION AND BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. CENTER FOR WOMEN & CHILDREN'S HEALTH THE CENTER FOR WOMEN & CHILDREN'S HEALTH IS A HUB FOR SUPPORTING WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S INDIVIDUAL HEALTHCARE NEEDS.

THESE SERVICES SHOULD BE DELIVERED IN A WAY THAT MAINTAINS INDIVIDUAL DIGNITY AND ENHANCES THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE PERSONS SERVED.
