      <Description>North Mississippi Medical Center (NMMC) serves more than 700,000 people in 24 counties in north Mississippi, northwest Alabama and portions of Tennessee. In fiscal year 2011, there were over 24,600 inpatient admissions, over 79,200 emergency department visits, and over 271,000 outpatient visits. NMMC uses Press Ganey, the largest patient satisfaction survey company in the nation, that works with more than 7,000 healthcare facilities. Randomly selected patients are asked about their experience with NMHS inpatient, outpatient, ER, home health and long term care services. Area residents have access to a medical staff representing more than 40 medical specialties, as well as centers of excellence in cancer treatment and research, neurology, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, cardiology, pulmonology, rehabilitation, chemical dependency and neonatal programs. In addition, the NMMC Home Health Agency serves patients in 17 counties in north Mississippi and offers many complex and extremely high-tech procedures that can be performed in the home setting. NMMC is designated as a Level II trauma center by the Mississippi State Department of Health. To receive this designation, facilities must offer a full range of trauma capabilities, including an Emergency Department, a full service surgical suite, intensive care unit and diagnostic imaging, as well as make a commitment to consistently meet national guidelines or standards in caring for trauma patients. In 2006 NMMC-Tupelo received the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for innovative practices, a commitment to excellence and outstanding results. This award is a symbol of world-class performance and is the nation's highest Presidential honor for organizational performance excellence. NMMC is a participant in QUEST (Quality, Efficiency, Safety, with Transparency), a national initiative sponsored by fellow 2006 Baldrige recipient Premier. NMMC benchmarks its quality measures against the very best hospitals and health systems in the United States. This collaborative effort enables NMMC's physicians, nurses and analysts to learn from those with the best results in patient satisfaction, cost of care and appropriateness of care. QUEST is one way that NMMC is continually working to improve patient safety and quality while safely reducing health care costs.</Description>
      <Activity2>
        <Description>One of the primary ways North Mississippi Medical Center (NMMC) serves the community is by providing care to various populations for which it receives no compensation or receives compensation at rates significantly less than established rates. The Board of Directors of NMMC has established a policy under which NMMC provides care, without charge, to needy members of its community. The charity care policy states that NMMC will provide necessary hospital services to patients free of charge with household income levels based on the federal poverty guidelines adjusted based on the median income for Mississippi compared to the median income nationally. The Mississippi adjusted poverty guidelines is approximately 71% of the Federal Poverty Rate. The policy further provides patients with household income levels above the Mississippi adjusted poverty guidelines will be liable for no more than the amount that their household income exceeds the applicable federal poverty guidelines. The policy applies to individuals who reside in NMMC's 24-county service area, as defined by the policy. Patients from outside the service area may also be granted charity care based on the judgment of NMMC management depending on their individual circumstances. The policy also requires the patient to cooperate fully with NMMC's request for information with which to verify the patient's eligibility. Following that policy, NMMC maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy. Charges foregone, based on established rates, totaled approximately $72,500,000 in fiscal year 2011. Based on the gross charges provided to charity patients compared to total hospital gross charges, 5% of all services in fiscal year 2011 were provided on a charity basis. The net cost of charity care provided by NMMC was approximately $26,638,000 in fiscal year 2011. The total cost estimate is based on the ratio of costs to charges for NMMC. All of the foregone charges mentioned above are netted against patient service revenue to arrive at net patient service revenue as reflected as program service revenue on Part VIII of Form 990 in order to be consistent with financial statement reporting and are not reported as functional expenses on the tax return.</Description>

        <Explanation>North Mississippi Medical Center, Inc. does not use the Federal Poverty Guidelines to determine eligibility for discounted care. The Federal Poverty Guidelines are used only for free care. Discounted care is given to anyone regardless of income level if they do not have insurance. North Mississippi Medical Center will provide its prevalent managed care discount to any patient that meets North Mississippi Medical Center's definition of uninsured (an individual having no third party coverage by commercial third party insurer, an ERISA plan, Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, Champus or other coverage for all or part of their bill).</Explanation>

        <Explanation>North Mississippi Medical Center's community benefit information is included in the community benefit report of its parent company, North Mississippi Health Services, Inc. North Mississippi Health Services (NMHS) is a diversified regional health care organization, which serves 24 counties in north Mississippi and northwest Alabama from headquarters in Tupelo, MS. The NMHS organization covers a broad range of acute diagnostic and therapeutic services, offered through North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo; a community hospital system with locations in Eupora, Iuka, Pontotoc, West Point, MS, and Hamilton AL; North Mississippi Medical Clinics, a regional network of more than 30 primary and specialty clinics; and nursing homes.

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Identifier>Part III, Line 4:</Identifier>
        <Explanation>North Mississippi Medical Center's financial statements do not include a footnote specifically concerning bad debt. Bad debt is shown as a separate line item on the face of the income statement. The amount of bad debt booked each year is based on a review of outstanding receivables and their age from date of service. The older the account, the higher the reserve percentage used to estimate bad debt. Accounts are considered delinquent and subsequently written off as bad debts based on individual credit evaluations and specific circumstances of the account. The bad debt expense at cost in Part III Line 2 was calculated using the cost to charge ratio from Worksheet 2. North Mississippi Medical Center (NMMC) follows the Catholic Health Association guidelines and does not include bad debt in any community benefit amounts. NMMC, however, believes that some portion of bad debt results from patients who could qualify for charity care but has no way of making an estimate of the amount and therefore has answered "zero" for Part III Line 3.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The ratio of cost to charges used in the calculation of costs for Medicare was taken from the Medicare Cost Report. Lines 5, 6, &amp; 7 do not include certain Medicare programs and costs and thus do not reflect all of the organization's revenues and costs associated with its participation in Medicare programs. Additional revenues and costs not reported on Lines 5, 6, &amp; 7 include those associated with the organization's Medicare outpatient lab, ambulance and therapy services. Total revenues from these activities were $8,339,916 and total costs were $9,969,104 for a net shortfall of $1,629,188. When combined with the surplus reported on Line 7, the net shortfall from all Medicare programs is $5,291,222.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>North Mississippi Medical Center utilizes varied but complimentary methods to assess the health care needs of the communities it serves. The North Mississippi Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment is performed every three years and provides information on health status, utilization of health services, healthy beliefs and satisfaction with health care services. In addition, the North Mississippi Medical Center Community Relations Facilitator conducts routine visits with internal and external stakeholders. The information gathered through several qualitative survey questions is used to determine community needs.</Explanation>

Financial counselors assist the patient and responsible parties with determining eligibility for government programs, primarily Medicaid, and charity care status. The patient can apply for charity care at any time from the date of service through the collection process and once qualified and approved all collection efforts are stopped.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>North Mississippi Medical Center serves more than 700,000 people in 24 counties in north Mississippi, northwest Alabama and portions of Tennessee. The most populous counties are Lee and Lowndes in MS and Colbert County in AL. The population for the service area is projected to remain essentially flat over the next five years.

Caucasians make up 71% of the service area's population while African Americans make up 25%. Median household income of $34,211 for the service area is below the overall average for Mississippi and significantly less than the nationwide average. Insurance coverage is lacking for much of the population with 19% estimated to be uninsured. Medicare covers 19% of the population, Medicaid 19% and private insurance 43%.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>North Mississippi Medical Center (NMMC) has a commitment to a wide variety of community health outreach activities, which are coordinated by the Community Health department and are staffed by employees of that department as well as by NMMC employees who volunteer their time to help with these events and activities. The Community Health department assists in educating the community on health-related issues by organizing and presenting various health fairs and seminars. These events are held at local businesses, schools and community organizations and address such issues as cancer care, heart health, bone and joint care, sinus and allergy issues, newborn and child care, and other health-related topics. In addition, the Community Health department sponsors cholesterol, blood pressure, vision, memory, and heart-risk screening events, through which tests are made available to the public for a nominal fee or at no charge with the majority of the costs incurred absorbed by NMMC. NMMC also employs registered nurses and certified health educators and provides their services to schools in its service area at no cost to the school systems. These nurses and educators provide basic healthcare and instructional services to the students in the schools they serve.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Affiliated Health Care System</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>As noted above, North Mississippi Medical Center (NMMC) is part of North Mississippi Health Services (NMHS). NMHS operates five community hospitals in addition to NMMC, as well as, North Mississippi Medical Clinics, which operates more than 30 medical clinics. Some of these facilities operate at an ongoing financial loss and NMHS provides operating funds in the form of working capital loans that have no set repayment date. These working capital loans have historically been converted to capital transfers in many cases, and therefore, the loans are forgiven such that the facility never makes repayment. NMHS does this in order to provide access to a variety of services across the service area and is an intentional part of its business model. The Community Health department that is part of NMMC coordinates a variety of community health activities across the service area as well.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Form 990 goes through a review process in the Accounting Department. The accountant for each facility reviews the returns for reasonableness and accuracy. All totals are tied to the audit reports, and all amounts are cross-referenced to schedules or other parts of the actual return. Once the accountant reviews, the Accounting Supervisor and the Director of Accounting reviews. The Supervisor does a detailed review by checking the return for the same items that the accountant checked for. Then the Director does a more high level review, reading the return for reasonableness and comparing prior year amounts to current year amounts. Finally, the VP of Finance reviews the return for reasonableness. The returns are then sent to the Executive VP/Treasurer to be reviewed. The Treasurer signs the return and it is then sent to the IRS.</Explanation>
