        <CostingMethodUsed>Explanation of Costing methodology used: Costing methodology for inpatient and outpatient services was derived using a combination of IRS provided worksheets and Palmetto Health's Medicare Cost report. However, actual data from Palmetto Health's (audited) financial statements was used in the costing methodology for subsidized health services.</CostingMethodUsed>
        <PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>Consistent with Schedule H Instructions, for purposes of calculating total expense, bad debt expense of $191,585,419 reported in 990 Part IX, has been properly excluded when computing percentages for Column F.</PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>
        <BadDebtFootnote>Accounts Receivable and Bad-debt expense methodology: Palmetto Health's (audited) financial statements do not contain a specific footnote describing policies around accounts receivable and bad debt expense. Palmetto Health's net accounts receivable on the (audited) financial statements represents the company's best estimate at that point in time of receivables that will eventually be realized. Methodology for calculating such estimate generally includes: 1) Self Pay Accounts Receivable: a. Current Accounts (defined as less than 90 days old) are value at historical collection percentages; b. Accounts aged from 90-180 days are value at 80% of historical collection percentages; c. Accounts aged from 181-365 days are valued at 60% of historical collection percentages; d. Accounts greater than 365 days old are considered uncollectible and are valued at zero. 2) All Other Third Party Accounts Receivable: a. An estimate of 5% of the gross accounts receivable is deemed to be the patient's responsibility and is treated the same as the self pay methodology noted above. All discounts are applied to the patient accounts when accounting for bad debt. This includes third party payor discounts, as well as discounts for those who qualify for financial assistance. All uninsured and under-insured patients are interviewed during the pre-registration and registration processes. The patient is referred to a financial counselor if it is determined there is a potential need. All patients who apply for charity care but never complete the process/do not provide required documentation are notated in the system with a charity care qualifier. Such accounts are reviewed after service has been provided and are written off as bad debt if they were not previously adjusted off as charity care.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>Portion of the shortfall in Part III, Line 7 that should be considered community benefit and costing methodology: The amount within Line 7 of Part III represents the shortfall after comparing the net revenue and cost of patients classified as Medicare who were not included within the Subsidized Health Service component of Line 7G, Part I. The $44 million shortfall consists of the Medicare patients who incurred a loss but were not included within the Subsidized Health Service community benefit figure. The costs reported within Line 6, Part III were formulated using a hospital wide cost to charge ratio.</ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>
        <DebtCollectionPolicy>Debt-collection practices for Financial Assistance patients: On the front end of the debt collection process, pre-registration staff, as well as financial counselors, are proactive in explaining financial and agency assistance. Palmetto Health utilizes Department of Health and Human Services on-site workers, in addition to financial counselors, who meet with the patients or family to determine their eligibility for assistance. Palmetto Health also provides helpful information on financial assistance in the patients' handbook and as part of the billing process in both English and Spanish. There are signs posted around the campuses and information on the website for related programs available at Palmetto Health. Post discharge, a designated unit, pursues financial assistance or agency assistance for the patient, including possible discounts or payment plans. Third parties are employed to work the more difficult and time consuming supplemental security income cases. In addition, patients who do not respond to internal collection efforts are turned over to collection agencies. All third party agencies are required to review the patients' status for financial assistance.</DebtCollectionPolicy>
        <NeedsAssessment>Palmetto Health has contributed more than $29 million dollars towards community health outreach initiatives over the past twelve years. These community outreach programs benefit the community by offering services in areas of need and by supporting existing successful community health outreach initiatives. In order to assess the needs of the communities and determine what Palmetto Health's community priorities are, Palmetto Health studies disease specific research and statistics for national, state and county data. Palmetto Health also uses inpatient and emergency department trends data and focus group data to help determine what community priorities will be. In addition, Palmetto Health utilizes Healthy People 2020 (formerly known as Healthy People 2010) objectives to help drive the community needs program design.</NeedsAssessment>
        <PatientEducationAssistance>Palmetto Health strives to improve the well being of the communities it serves. Quality services are made available to all members of the community regardless of an ability to pay. Palmetto Health will work with uninsured or under insured patients to seek financial assistance or charity care. Patients are educated about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state or local government programs or under Palmetto Health's charity care policy during the registration process. During pre-registration and registration, all patients are interviewed by a financial counselor to determine whether the patient has a need for financial assistance or charity care. The financial counselor reviews the financial status of the patient to determine which program(s) the patient may be eligible to participate. If it is deemed that a patient may be eligible for financial assistance, Department of Health and Human Services workers are available to assist patients and their families with completing applications. In order to make patients aware of financial assistance or charity care, Palmetto Health's Patient Bill of Rights is posted throughout its facilities with information and contact phone numbers. It is also posted in patient brochures. Patient statements contain an abbreviated version of the Patient Bill of Rights. Palmetto Health's website, www.palmettohealth.org, states Palmetto Health will work with uninsured or under insured patients to seek financial assistance or charity care. Post Discharge, patients expressing issues with being unable to pay their bill will be directed to financial counselors to assist in educating the patients about the financial assistance policy.</PatientEducationAssistance>

Palmetto Health also partners with the Columbia Oral Health Clinic to provide dental services to HIV/AIDS patients who otherwise could not afford dental care. As the only program of its kind in South Carolina, it provides high-risk patients with a source for dental care. Family Connection-Project Breathe Easy: Project Breathe Easy is an asthma education program developed by Family Connection. Palmetto Health provides funds to enhance services to asthmatic children and their families through the provision of asthma education, transportation and medical assistance to patients. Program participants have shown a reduction in missed days from school and work, fewer emergency room visits, and a reduction in the number of preventable asthma emergencies. Health Administration Scholarship: Since the Fall 1998 semester, Palmetto Health has provided scholarship funds for qualified minority students enrolled in the master's degree program in Health Administration at the University of South Carolina School of Public Health. The scholarships give students an opportunity to earn a degree in a field that lacks minority participation. The program has received a special commendation from the Accrediting Commission on Education for Health Services Administration, one of only two commendations awarded nationwide. Parish Nurse Program: Palmetto Health, in collaboration with the Columbia Housing Authority, initiated a Parish Nurse Medical Program for elderly and indigent residents of Columbia Housing Authority. Residents of these facilities were anticipated to have a diagnosis of high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, obesity and other medical problems. These residents, who often receive little or no medical care, benefit from the Parish Nurse services.</OtherInformation>

        <Explanation>Palmetto Health provides funding to a number of non-profit organizations to expand services in our community. All funded organizations enter into a funding agreement with Palmetto Health that details the scope of services to be provided. Organizations must submit monthly reports that detail the scope and type of services provided to patients/clients each month. Organizations receive payment if these reports are received in a timely manner and if all conditions of the agreement with Palmetto Health are met. In addition, according to the agreement Palmetto Health reserves the right to perform a financial audit regarding the use of funding dollars provided to the organization. Palmetto Health will alert the organization of the audit 10 business days before such audit occurs.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>On October 1, 2009, Palmetto Health transferred to a new entity all real and personal property comprising the hospital facility in Easley, South Carolina. The new entity operates the Baptist Easley Hospital (BEH) as a nonprofit entity (a hospital organization exempt under internal revenue code sections 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(1)(A)(iii)) consisting of two equal members: Palmetto Health and Greenville Health Corporation (GHC) (GHC is a hospital organization exempt under internal revenue code sections 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(1)(A)(iii)). In connection with this transaction, Palmetto Health transferred net assets (at fair market value) to the new entity and received a 50% membership interest in the new entity. Palmetto Health entered into this arrangement in order to further our mission and better serve the healthcare needs of the Easley community. As this change represents considerably less than a 25% transfer of Palmetto Health's assets, Schedule N is not required to be completed.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Palmetto Health is central South Carolina's largest and most comprehensive not-for-profit health system. In our progressive environment, the latest technology and treatment protocols go hand-in-hand with quality patient care. Palmetto Health is a South Carolina nonprofit public benefit corporation recognized as an IRC section 501(c) (3) charity, which consists of the outstanding hospitals - Palmetto Health Richland and Palmetto Health Baptist, Children's Hospital and Palmetto Health Heart Hospital in Columbia. Palmetto Health also jointly owns Baptist Easley Hospital in Easley, SC. The 1,247-bed system is a JCAHO-accredited institution and has more than 8,500 employees and 1,300 physicians. Being the largest private employer in the Midlands and the third largest in SC is an important economic development driver for our region, but also having the best employees is a recognition for which the system is very proud. For the last three years, Palmetto Health was named one of the Top 100 Places to Work in Healthcare, after a survey of US healthcare organizations by Modern Healthcare magazine, last year placing 29th in the nation. The SC Chamber of Commerce named Palmetto Health one of the top 20 places to work in SC for the second year. Four years in a row, Palmetto Health has been named one of the top places in the country to work in Information Technology by ComputerWorld magazine. In keeping with Palmetto Health's vision: to be remembered by each patient as providing the care and compassion we want for our families and ourselves, the system focuses on putting patients at the center of all we do. Each year, our hospitals treat nearly a half million patients, welcome more than 6,700 babies into the world, treat more than 80,000 pediatric patients and 3,000 cancer patients, accommodate more than 149,000 emergency department visits, perform more than 50,000 mammograms, and make more than 32,000 home care visits. We proudly offer services that are available nowhere else in the region. Among those are the largest private behavioral health services, the only Level I trauma center in the region, the only two Level III neonatal intensive care units in the region providing the highest level of care for premature infants, pediatric intensive care unit, children's emergency room, robotic assisted surgery, gamma knife and many others. Many of our programs and services have been uniquely accredited for excellence, such as the state's first accredited chest pain center and accredited breast center by the American College of Surgeons' National Accreditation Program. The Joint Commission recently accredited Palmetto Health's Heart Failure program and accreditation as a Primary Stroke Center is pending. Blue Cross has designated centers for cardiac care and total joint replacement for their Blue Distinction designation. Palmetto Health provides health care for nearly 70 percent of the residents of Richland County and almost 55 percent of the health care for the combined Richland/Lexington County area. Patients are rendered services without distinction due to race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender, age, veteran's status and disability. Palmetto Health provides the local community with more low or no cost services than any other health provider. We do this under local ownership, local management and local accountability. Our goal is to provide the best for our community, in the best equipped facilities in the state while working with others to achieve our mission. Palmetto Health has pledged 10 percent of its annual bottom line for 35 years to fund community health care initiatives in cancer education and prevention, and maternal and child health services and many others. In the last decade, Palmetto Health has spent $29 million in this special effort alone. This tithe is a contribution over and above the care provide provided in our hospitals for services to patients in need. During 2010, Palmetto Health conducted a community benefits assessment of free services provided by our system to the communities we served during the previous year. The total included $73 million in care to patients who were unable to pay, as well as $38 million associated with Medicare and Medicaid programs. Palmetto Health is proud to have focused on quality and patient safety improvement initiatives and set about creating the structure, culture and accountability to achieve it. These efforts allowed our hospitals to achieve significant progress in decreasing mortality and increasing the performance in appropriate care measures for nationally benchmarked standards of care for six high-volume procedures. This ambitious and concerted quality goal of eliminating all preventable errors and deaths continues to be a focus of all at Palmetto Health while attention has increased on reducing "harm events" such as infections, falls and the like, and on reducing unnecessary readmissions. In addition to the healthcare outreach efforts in which Palmetto Health engages, the system accepts a key role in community support through investment by its employees in the United Way and our own Palmetto Health Foundation. Additionally, the organization and its employees participate and invest in community agencies such as the Heart Association, March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, and a myriad of other health and human services organizations. With key leaders taking significant leadership roles in organizations like the Chambers of Commerce, City Center Partnership, Central Carolina Economic Development Alliance and a host of others, Palmetto Health is making its presence known and essential in the community.</Explanation>
