PART III, LINE 4: FOOTNOTE 11 ("CHARITY CARE") TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND AFFILIATES (INCLUDING FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL) FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010 CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE: "THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CHARITY CARE POLICY CRITERIA WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ESTABLISHED RATES." "IF A PATIENT IS INELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR CARE AT REDUCED RATES BECAUSE THE PATIENT'S INCOME EXCEEDS THE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES, SERVICES RENDERED ARE RECORDED AT ESTABLISHED RATES AND ANY UNPAID ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE BALANCE IS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS AFTER A REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE."THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS REPORTED ON LINE 2, PART III WAS CALCULATED USING THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES AS COMPUTED USING WORKSHEET 2 IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. NO BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY HAS BEEN REPORTED ON LINE 3, PART III BECAUSE ALL GROSS PATIENT CHARGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THESE PATIENTS THAT WERE NOT PAID FROM UNCOMPENSATED CARE POOLS OR PROGRAMS WERE WRITTEN OFF AS "FREE CARE" EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 8: THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6, PART III WAS DETERMINED USING THE COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY USED FOR THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS.
PART III, LINE 9B: THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS AND PATIENT POPULATIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM ANY COLLECTION OR BILLING PROCEDURES PURSUANT TO STATE REGULATIONS: A. PATIENTS ENROLLED IN A STATE HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MASSHEALTH, EMERGENCY AID TO THE ELDERLY, DISABLED AND CHILDREN, HEALTHY START, CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SECURITY PLAN, "LOW INCOME PATIENTS" AS DETERMINED BY THE OFFICE OF MEDICAID. PLEASE NOTE THAT FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL (FVH) MAY SEEK COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST ANY PATIENT ENROLLED IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROGRAMS FOR THEIR REQUIRED CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES THAT ARE SET FORTH BY EACH SPECIFIC PROGRAM. FVH MAY ALSO INITIATE BILLING OR COLLECTION FOR A PATIENT WHO ALLEGES THAT HE OR SHE IS A PARTICIPANT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT COVERS THE COSTS OF THE HOSPITAL SERVICES, BUT FAILS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF SUCH PARTICIPATION. UPON RECEIPT OF SATISFACTORY PROOF THAT A PATIENT IS A PARTICIPANT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (INCLUDING RECEIPT OR VERIFICATION OF SIGNED APPLICATION), FVH SHALL CEASE ITS BILLING OR COLLECTION ACTIVITIES. FVH MAY CONTINUE COLLECTION ACTION ON ANY LOW INCOME PATIENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED PRIOR TO THE LOW INCOME PATIENT DETERMINATION, PROVIDED THAT THE CURRENT LOW INCOME PATIENT STATUS HAS BEEN TERMINATED OR EXPIRED. HOWEVER, ONCE A PATIENT IS DETERMINED ELIGIBLE AND ENROLLED IN THE HEALTH SAFETY NET, MASSHEALTH, OR CERTAIN COMMONWEALTH CARE PROGRAMS, FVH WILL CEASE COLLECTION ACTIVITY FOR SERVICES, PREVIOUSLY BILLED, THAT NOW FALL INTO THE ELIGIBILITY PERIOD. FVH MAY SEEK COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST ANY OF THE PATIENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAMS LISTED ABOVE FOR NON-COVERED SERVICES THAT THE PATIENT HAS AGREED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, PROVIDED THAT THE HOSPITAL OBTAINED THE PATIENT'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT TO BE BILLED FOR THE SERVICE. FVH WILL NOT UNDERTAKE COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR MEDICAL HARDSHIP UNDER THE MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH SAFETY NET PROGRAM WITH RESPECT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE BILL THAT EXCEEDS THE MEDICAL HARDSHIP CONTRIBUTION. B. FVH WILL NOT GARNISH A LOW INCOME PATIENT'S (AS DETERMINED BY THE OFFICE OF MEDICAID) OR THE PATIENT'S GUARANTOR'S WAGES OR EXECUTE A LIEN ON THE LOW INCOME PATIENT'S OR THE PATIENT'S GUARANTOR'S PERSONAL RESIDENCE OR MOTOR VEHICLE UNLESS: (1) THE HOSPITAL CAN SHOW THAT THE PATIENT OR THE PATIENT'S GUARANTOR HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY, (2) THE PATIENT DID NOT RESPOND TO HOSPITAL REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION OR THE PATIENT REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH THE HOSPITAL TO SEEK AN AVAILABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, OR (3) FOR PURPOSES OF THE LIEN, IT WAS APPROVED BY THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON AN INDIVIDUAL CASE BY CASE BASIS.

PART VI, LINE 2: FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL PLACES A PRIORITY ON MAINTAINING CLOSE ALLIANCES WITH ALL SOCIAL, HEALTH, SAFETY, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WELFARE AGENCIES IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY. OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, AS WELL AS CIVIC AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS KEEP FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL ABREAST OF THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES. FAIRVIEW ENGAGES A BROAD RANGE OF OUR CONSTITUENTS (INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, TOWN LEADERS, HEALTH OFFICIALS, SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES) TO RECEIVE DIRECT FEEDBACK AND INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY MEMBERS SERVE ON MANY HOSPITAL COMMITTEES, INCLUDING OUR PATIENT FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCIL WHICH PROVIDES FEEDBACK ON HOW FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL CAN BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.STATISTICAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTS OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT. FAIRVIEW UTILIZES IN-PATIENT, EMERGENCY AND MAJOR DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORIES DATA AND ONGOING POST-STAY SURVEYS. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REPORTING ALERTS FAIRVIEW TO IMPORTANT TRENDS AND IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS THAT ARE ABOVE THE STATE NORM.FAIRVIEW PARTICIPATES WITH THE WORK OF OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND UTILIZES MANY ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE MADE AVAILABLE ON BEHALF OF SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES. AMONG THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE PROVIDED SURVEY DATA ARE THE BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT 2011 SURVEY, SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE YOUTH COALITION YOUTH SURVEY, UNITED WAY COMMUNITY IMPACT (FY2010) BASELINE REPORT, 2011 MASSACHUSETTS PREVENTION NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY, CROSS-CULTURAL ACTION NETWORK, SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATIVE, 2010 MASSACHUSETTS COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS (UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN POPULATION HEALTH INSTITUTE), MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND HEALTH REGIONALIZATION STATUS REPORTS, BERKSHIRE HILLS REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BMI REPORTS 2008/2009, AND BERKSHIRE COUNTY BOARDS OF HEALTH ASSOCIATION 2010 BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT.
PART VI, LINE 3: FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL HELPS PATIENTS ACCESS COVERAGE AND CONSISTENTLY PROMOTES ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL. THE ADVOCACY FOR ACCESS OFFICE, EASILY ACCESSIBLE AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL, FACILITATES ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO NEED IMMEDIATE CARE AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED. THE ADVOCACY TEAM HAS TRAINED STAFF AT ENTRY POINTS AS WELL AS CAREGIVERS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE IMPORTANT ROLE THEY CAN PROVIDE TO PATIENTS. THE ADVOCACY TEAM REGULARLY VISITS PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THE PATIENTS MAY HAVE AS WELL AS FACILITATING ENROLLMENT IN THE APPROPRIATE PLAN. IN ADDITION, A FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS AVAILABLE DURING BUSINESS HOURS TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN EXPLAINING BILLING ISSUES AND CREATING FLEXIBLE BILLING ARRANGEMENTS TO MEET THE PATIENTS' NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 4: FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL SERVES A RURAL, GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED AREA OF THE TWELVE TOWNS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF MASSACHUSETTS AND NEARBY COMMUNITIES IN NEW YORK STATE AND CONNECTICUT. PRIMARY RESIDENTS OF THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES FACE THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES OF RURAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION. THESE ARE SOME OF THE STATE'S REMOTEST COMMUNITIES. THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE COMMUNITY IS PREDOMINATELY CAUCASIAN WITH A GROWING MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY. TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF FAMILIES ARE LIVING BELOW 200% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL (MORE THAN 3% OVER STATE AVERAGES) AND THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA INCOME IS $3,297 LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. OVER 25% OF THE STUDENTS IN THE LOCAL DISTRICT ARE ON FREE OR REDUCED PRICED LUNCHES.THE ELDER POPULATION IN THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES IS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE THE STATE POPULATION, REACHING OVER 20% IN SOME COMMUNITIES (MASSACHUSETTS RATES ARE 13%) WITH MANY ELDERS LIVING ALONE. THERE ARE TWO SENIOR HOUSING UNITS AND THREE NURSING HOMES IN THE AREA, AND SENIOR CENTERS IN MOST AREA TOWNS. BECAUSE THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES IS A MAJOR TOURIST DESTINATION FOR THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA, IN MANY COMMUNITIES MORE THAN HALF THE HOMES ARE OWNED BY PART-TIME RESIDENTS. PART-TIME SERVICE JOBS ARE A MAJOR SOURCE OF INCOME FOR PRIMARY RESIDENTS. HOWEVER, THE HOUSING MARKET REFLECTS THE SECONDARY MARKET WITH HIGHER VALUES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN REACH OF THE INCOME OF MOST LOCAL FAMILIES. RURAL HOMELESSNESS IS A HIDDEN, BUT PERVASIVE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUE. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS LIMITED AND NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE. AS A RESULT, TRANSPORTATION IS AN OBSTACLE FOR CARE FOR MANY, PARTICULARLY AMONG THE ELDERLY. A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AGENCY RUNS A LIMITED BUS ROUTE WITH LIMITED HOURS. ADDITIONAL ELDERLY TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE BUT LIMITED. PEOPLE WHO NEED TO ACCESS HEALTHCARE MUST RELY ON FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO GET TO MEDICAL CARE. SPECIALTY CARE IS A PARTICULAR CHALLENGE TO OBTAIN. FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH AREA ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP MAKE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS AVAILABLE. HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION ARE THE PRIMARY EMPLOYMENT SECTORS. THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE ECONOMY'S PRIMARY ECONOMIC ENGINE IS TOURISM, WITH A HIGH NUMBER OF HOTELS, BED AND BREAKFASTS, RESTAURANTS, AND RETAIL SHOPS AND SERVICES CATERING TO THE TOURIST COMMUNITY. THE LOCAL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WAS SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. ALTHOUGH THESE ARE OFTEN SEASONAL AND SERVICE BASED JOBS, THEY ARE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE ECONOMY.
PART VI, LINE 6: FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL VALUES THE COMMUNITY'S VITAL ROLE AS STEWARDS OF THEIR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.

Explanation	SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION INFORMATION IN REFERENCE TO SCHEDULE J PART II, NO COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE FILING ENTITY TO ANY OFFICER OR TRUSTEE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BRIAN T. BURKE, MD, WHOSE COMPENSATION RELATES SOLELY TO SERVICES RENDERED FOR TAX EXEMPT PURPOSES AND NOT TO HIS ROLE AS TRUSTEE. A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE COMPENSATION AMOUNT PAID TO OFFICERS IS ALLOCATED INTERNALLY TO THE FILING ENTITY FOR ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT PURPOSES (SEE BELOW). COMPENSATION IS PAID TO OFFICERS OF THE FILING ENTITY BY BHS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO THE FILING ENTITY AND 26 OTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT, TAX-EXEMPT HEALTHCARE SERVICE ENTITIES. COMPENSATION FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS IS REVIEWED AND ESTABLISHED AT LEAST BIANNUALLY BY AN INDEPENDENT VOLUNTEER GOVERNING BODY, BASED ON PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND COMPARISON TO INDEPENDENT, REGIONALLY APPROPRIATE BENCHMARKS FOR SIMILAR POSITIONS IN SIMILARLY SIZED ORGANIZATIONS, AS VERIFIED BY INDEPENDENT, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS. THE GOVERNING BODY TARGETS TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES AT THE 50TH PERCENTILE OF APPROPRIATE BENCHMARKS. FOR MOST OF MR. PHELPS' 20 YEAR TENURE AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE, A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS AND MR. PHELPS HAS CALLED FOR BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS TO FUND A RETIREMENT PROGRAM THAT, WHEN ADDED TO HIS BASE COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS, WAS INTENDED TO BRING HIS TOTAL COMPENSATION CLOSE TO THE 50TH PERCENTILE RANGE OF TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR COMPARABLE HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES IN COMPARABLE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, AS DETERMINED BY INDEPENDENT, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED THIRD PARTY REVIEWERS. FOR MANY YEARS, A KEY ELEMENT OF THAT RETIREMENT PROGRAM WAS A CERTAIN LIFE INSURANCE POLICY IN WHICH BOTH BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS AND MR. PHELPS HAD OWNERSHIP INTERESTS. IN 2010, BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS AND MR. PHELPS AGREED TO REORGANIZE HIS RETIREMENT PROGRAM, SURRENDER HIS LIFE INSURANCE POLICY WHICH WAS, BY THEN, NO LONGER MEETING ITS GOALS AND OTHERWISE SIMPLIFY MR. PHELPS' RETIREMENT BENEFIT. AS PART OF THAT REORGANIZATION AND COMPROMISE, MR. PHELPS RECEIVED THE CASH VALUE OF THE SURRENDERED THE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY THAT HAD ACCUMULATED THROUGH HIS TENURE IN HIS CURRENT ROLE. BERKSHIRE HEALTH SYSTEMS' RETIREMENT FUNDING OBLIGATION WAS CORRESPONDINGLY REDUCED BY THAT AMOUNT. THE CASH VALUE OF THE SURRENDERED LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A, COLUMN E AND ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, LINE 5(II), COLUMN B(III), IS REFLECTED BELOW, AS IS THE PORTION OF COMPENSATION ALLOCABLE TO EACH OF THE SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS.
