PART I, LINE 3A/3B	BANNER HEALTH (BANNER/BH) USES FPG. DEDICATED TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF AGE, SEX, RACE, RELIGION, DISABILITY, VETERAN STATUS, NATIONAL ORIGIN AND/OR ABILITY TO PAY DETERMINATIONS ARE MADE BASED UPON BANNER'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. BH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE DUAL INTERESTS OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO CARE TO THOSE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO PAY (ECONOMIC INDIGENCE) AND TO OFFER A DISCOUNT FROM BILLED CHARGES FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO PAY A PORTION OF THE COSTS OF THEIR CARE (MEDICAL INDIGENCE). THIS POLICY ESTABLISHES TWO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, THE BASIC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND THE ENHANCED ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. UNDER THE BASIC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, UNINSURED PERSONS HAVING ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOMES OF $125,000 OR LESS WILL QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF DISCOUNTED PRICING COMPARABLE TO THAT AVAILABLE TO COMMERCIAL INSURANCE PAYORS WITHOUT HAVING TO APPLY FOR MEDICAID ASSISTANCE. UNDER THE ENHANCED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, UNINSURED PERSONS HAVING HOUSEHOLD INCOMES AT OR BELOW 500% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE WILL QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF SUBSTANTIAL DISCOUNTS OR FREE CARE, SUBJECT TO APPLICATION FOR MEDICAID ASSISTANCE. BH RESERVES THE RIGHT, IN ALL SITUATIONS, TO EXCLUDE PERSONS WHO HAVE SUFFICIENT NET ASSETS TO PAY THEIR OBLIGATIONS FROM RECEIVING EITHER BASIC OR ENHANCED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BH MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL EVALUATION AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE POINT IN THE REGISTRATION/COLLECTION PROCESS FOR ALL PATIENTS INDICATING AN INABILITY TO MEET THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. BANNER WILL PROVIDE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION AFTER ALL OTHER OPTIONS FOR REIMBURSEMENT HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. SEE PART VI, LINE 6 FOR INFORMATION ON HOW PATIENTS ARE MADE AWARE OF BH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART I, LINE 6A	BANNER HEALTH PREPARES AN ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE HEALTH SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. THE 2010 REPORT IS AVAILABLE ON SITE OR AT THE ORGANIZATION'S WEB SITE. TO ACCESS THE REPORT CLICK COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT OR -- HTTP://WWW.BANNERHEALTH.COM/ABOUT+US/COMMUNITY+UPDATE/ _COMMUNITY+UPDATE+HOME.HTM	FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F)	IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHANGE IN GAAP ACCOUNTING FOR 2011, TOTAL BAD DEBT WAS DEDUCTED FROM NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25. THEREFORE, IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE IT FOR SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. PART I, LINE 7G SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES REPORTED IN SECTION 7G INCLUDES AMONG OTHERS ALZHEIMER'S MEMORY DISORDER AND RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS, PALLIATIVE CARE CLINICS, TRAUMA CARE, BURN CLINICS, PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE, SENIOR ADULT DAY CARE, COMMUNITY-BASED PRENATAL PROGRAM FOR UNDER/UNINSURED MOTHERS, SCHOOL-BASED CLINIC ACTIVITIES, WOMEN'S SERVICES, AND FREE/REDUCED MAMMOGRAMS AND BONE DENSITY TESTS AND PROGRAMS FOR THE CHRONIC INEBRIATE POPULATION. OPERATED AT A LOSS, RESPECTIVE BH COMMUNITIES WOULD BE DEPRIVED OF THESE SERVICES IF NOT FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S INVOLVEMENT. PART II IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS EXEMPT MISSION, BH PROVIDES A BROAD RANGE OF BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THESE ACTIVITIES PROMOTED THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING ADVOCACY SERVICES TO ITS CONSTITUENTS THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL AND NATIONAL HEALTH CAMPAIGNS, ENHANCING COMMUNITY WORKFORCE THROUGH RECRUITMENT FOR MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS, PROVIDING LEADERS TO DEVELOP LOCAL TALENT, PROVIDING STAFF FOR COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERISM, RECOGNIZING THE EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEER BASE, PARTICIPATING IN VARIOUS COMMUNITY AWARENESS PROGRAMS, BEING INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS AND BEING A GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN. THE RESULTS OF THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: - PROVIDING VOLUNTEER LEADERSHIP TO LOCAL BOARDS AND TASK FORCES THEREBY ALLOWING THE ENTITY TO CHANNEL RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITY NEED INSTEAD OF TO SALARIES. - INCREASING COMMUNITY TEEN DRINKING/DRIVING AWARENESS AND SAFETY. - PROVIDING FEDERAL MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS WITH PHYSICIANS. - PROVIDING DISASTER TRAINING AND EDUCATION TO IMPROVE SAFETY AWARENESS FOR RESIDENTS. - PARTNERING WITH LOCAL BLOOD BANKS TO COMBAT BLOOD SHORTAGES. - PROVIDING MEETING ROOM, ELECTRONIC TELECONFERENCE TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER SPACE FOR VARIOUS COMMUNITY GROUPS. WITHOUT THESE IN-KIND DONATIONS, THESE ORGANIZATIONS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXPEND FUNDS, FUNDS NEEDED IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MISSIONS FOR SPACE RENTAL - PARTNERING WITH LOCAL UNITED WAY AGENCIES TO IMPROVE AND ENHANCE COMMUNITY INITIATIVES.
PART III, LINE 1	BH - WRITES OFF BAD DEBT AS AN OPERATING EXPENSE (AS OPPOSED TO A REDUCTION IN ALLOWANCE) AND BAD DEBT RESERVES ARE EVALUATED MONTHLY. THIS METHODOLOGY ALLOWS THE ORGANIZATION TO ARRIVE AT THE SAME POSITION AS STATEMENT 15 DESCRIBES. WE DO NOT HOWEVER WRITE DOWN SELF PAY ACCOUNTS USING A CONTRA REVENUE ACCOUNT UNLESS WE HAVE DEEMED IT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHICH IS A VARIANCE FROM THE STATEMENT (WHICH REQUIRES A WRITE DOWN OF THE RECEIVABLE TO THE COLLECTIBLE AMOUNT USING A CONTRA REVENUE ACCOUNT).
PART III, LINE 2	THE PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES RATIO IS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO ACCOUNTS/AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINE 2. DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO REVENUE NOT BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 3	IN 2006 THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGED A THIRD PARTY TO ASSESS THE VALIDITY OF ACCOUNTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO BAD DEBT AND TO ANALYZE WHAT PERCENT OF BAD DEBT COULD BE/SHOULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE QUALIFIED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE BH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES. BASED ON THE STUDY, BH ESTIMATES THAT IN EXCESS OF 60% OF THE PATIENT ACCOUNTS COMPRISING THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT MAY HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER BH POLICIES. FOLLOWING THIS STUDY, THE ORGANIZATION ENHANCED ITS EFFORTS TO INFORM PATIENTS OF ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE ORGANIZATION'S ENHANCED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS UTILIZED ONLY BY THOSE PERSONS WHO TRULY REQUIRE SUCH ENHANCED ASSISTANCE, THE POLICY REQUIRES THAT PATIENTS MUST FIRST COMPLETE AN APPLICATION, PROVIDE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AND (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS) APPLY FOR MEDICAID. DESPITE ENCOURAGEMENT BY THE ORGANIZATION, THERE ARE MANY TIMES WHEN THE PATIENT REFUSES OR IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION TO BH, PROVIDE INFORMATION TO SUPPORT QUALIFICATION, OR APPLY FOR MEDICAID.
PART III, LINE 4	1) FOOTNOTE PER AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOOTNOTE: NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND NET PATIENT SERVICES REVENUES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED BASED ON CONTRACTUAL RATES FOR SERVICES RENDERED. THESE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS UPON REVIEW BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR EACH MAJOR PAYOR BASED UPON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE OF EACH FACILITY. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS PAYMENT DATA FOR EACH MAJOR PAYOR IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. DURING 2011, BANNER EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN SELF-PAY COVERAGE ENACTED IN 2011 BY THE ARIZONA HEALTH CARE COST CONTAINMENT PROGRAM (AHCCCS), ARIZONA'S STATE MEDICAID PROGRAM. THESE CHANGES RESULTED IN AN INCREASE TO THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS OF APPROXIMATELY $63,000,000 FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011. 2) COSTING METHODOLOGY - THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT IS REPORTED ON LINE 2. DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO REVENUE NOT TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 8	THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS THAT HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO FILE DO NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE COSTS REQUIRED TO TREAT MEDICARE PATIENTS. USING A FINANCIAL STATEMENT COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY, THE RESULT IS A MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $41.2M. THEREFORE THE AMOUNTS REFLECTED ON THE COST REPORT DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE ORGANIZATION AND DIFFER FROM THE COST REFLECTED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE, ABSENT THIS PROGRAM, MANY INDIVIDUALS WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER NEEDS-BASED PROGRAMS. BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF THE GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED AND THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS.
PART III LINE 9A/9B	BH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES REQUIRE THAT THE ACCOUNTS OF PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BE WRITTEN OFF EITHER IN FULL OR IN PART, DEPENDING UPON THE LEVEL OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR WHICH THE PATIENT HAS QUALIFIED. IF THE ACCOUNT IS NOT WRITTEN OFF COMPLETELY, THE REDUCED BALANCE IS TREATED IN THE SAME MANNER AS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND FOR THE PORTION OF THE ACCOUNTS REMAINING AFTER APPLICATION OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR SUCH ASSISTANCE, ACCOUNT COLLECTION PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS: 1) THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR WILL RECEIVE 4 STATEMENTS PRIOR TO THE ACCOUNT BEING PLACED WITH AN OUTSIDE AGENCY. THE STATEMENT PROCESS INVOLVES 4 STATEMENT CYCLES (5 DAYS AFTER FINAL BILL, 35 DAYS AFTER FINAL BILL, 55 DAYS AFTER FINAL BILL, AND 70 DAYS AFTER FINAL BILL) AND TAKES 90 DAYS TO COMPLETE. THE ACCOUNT IS SENT TO COLLECTIONS 20 DAYS AFTER THE FINAL STATEMENT. 2) ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO VERIFY PHYSICAL LOCATION OF PATIENT AND ALSO TO DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR AHCCCS/MEDICAID COVERAGE. IN ADDITION AN ATTEMPT IS MADE VIA PHONE FOR HIGH DOLLAR ACCOUNTS. 3) ACCOUNTS ARE TURNED OVER TO AN OUTSIDE AGENCY UNDER CONTRACT WITH BH WHEN ALL EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. 4) ONCE ASSIGNED TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY, VARIOUS DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ARE UTILIZED IN DIFFERENT STATES, DEPENDING UPON LOCAL CUSTOM AND PRACTICE. IN ALMOST ALL SITUATIONS, THE COLLECTION AGENCY ATTEMPTS TO OBTAIN PAYMENT FROM THE PATIENT BY MEANS OF DIRECT TELEPHONE CONTACT. IF THIS IS UNSUCCESSFUL, FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENT UPON AN ACCOUNT RESULTS IN A REPORT TO A CREDIT AGENCY. IN CERTAIN STATES, THE COLLECTION AGENCY WILL FILE A COLLECTION LAWSUIT TO OBTAIN A JUDGMENT UPON THE UNPAID ACCOUNT, DEPENDING UPON THE ASSESSMENT OF THE AGENCY AS TO THE POTENTIAL COLLECTABILITY OF THE ACCOUNT. IN THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY STATE, ARIZONA, LAWSUITS ARE RARELY INITIATED, TYPICALLY ONLY WHEN THERE IS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE PATIENT HAS SUFFICIENT NET ASSETS TO PAY THE ACCOUNT, AND REQUIRE THE PRIOR APPROVAL OF BH.
PART V, SECTION B, LINES 15 AND 16	N/A - BANNER HEALTH MAKES REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE THE PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE FACILITY'S FAP BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTION - UP TO AND INCLUDING ANY NOTED BELOW. PART V, SECTION B, LINES 19D DURING THE TAX YEAR, FOR ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO HAVE A HOUSEHOLD ANNUAL INCOME OF LESS THAN $125,000, THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT CHARGED FOR INPATIENT SERVICES IS 150% OF THE MEDICARE DRG. FOR ARIZONA, THE MAXIMUM OUTPATIENT RATES ARE 28% OF THE LISTED CHARGES. THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT CHARGED FOR OUTPATIENT SERVICES OUTSIDE OF ARIZONA IS 50% OF LISTED.	HOSPITAL FACILITIES 1-23
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2	BH UTILIZES ITS PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUALLY IDENTIFY AREAS IN THE COMMUNITIES BH SERVES WHERE INSTITUTIONAL CLINICAL NEEDS ARE NOT BEING SATISFIED. THIS DETERMINATION IS MADE THROUGH A COMBINATION OF ANALYSIS OF POPULATION GROWTH AND CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS, HEALTHCARE SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH OTHER HOSPITAL PROVIDERS, PHYSICIAN SUPPLY IN THE BH SERVICE AREAS, NEW AND MORE EFFECTIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES THAT ARE BECOMING AVAILABLE THAT WOULD ELEVATE THE QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES PROVIDED TO BH' COMMUNITIES, AND DEMAND PRESSURES EXPERIENCED BY EXISTING BH FACILITIES AND PHYSICIANS. ON A LOCAL BASIS, HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT TEAMS REGULARLY CONSULT WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PARTNERS, LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED ADVISORY BOARDS, OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS (INCLUDING FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CLINICS) AND BUSINESSES TO IDENTIFY UNMET PHYSICIAN AND HOSPITAL NEEDS. THESE FINDINGS ARE THEN PRIORITIZED BASED ON SYSTEM CAPITAL AND OPERATING RESOURCE AVAILABILITY, FEASIBILITY, AVAILABILITY OF PHYSICIANS TO BE RECRUITED TO THE SERVICE AREA, AND SUSTAINABILITY. BASED UPON THIS PRIORITIZATION, CAPITAL AND OPERATING RESOURCES ARE THEN INTEGRATED INTO THE FACILITY AND SYSTEM BUDGETS AND PLANS. SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES EXIST TO EDUCATE OUR PATIENTS ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY AND THEY ARE PROVIDED NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION ON BANNER HEALTH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF COMMUNICATION/EDUCATION AVAILABLE TO BH PATIENTS: A) SIGNAGE AND COLLATERAL ARE POSTED PROMINENTLY IN PATIENT WAITING LOBBIES, INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS, STATING THAT BANNER HAS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE OR MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR SHARE OF THE COST OF SERVICES. B) A TOLL FREE NUMBER IS PROVIDED FOR THE PATIENT'S/FAMILY'S CONVENIENCE. C) AFTER MEDICAL SCREENING, PATIENTS ARE VISITED BY STAFF AND INFORMED OF THE FINANCIAL POLICY. STAFF ALSO ASSISTS POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE PATIENTS TO APPLY FOR ENROLLMENT FOR MEDICAID/AHCCCS. D) A BRIGHTLY COLORED INSERT IS INCLUDED IN THE FIRST BILLING STATEMENT TO PATIENTS. THE INSERT AGAIN INFORMS PATIENTS OF THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDES TOLL-FREE ACCESS. E) DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES AGAIN INFORM PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES DURING THE SELF-PAY COLLECTION PROCESS. THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, STAFF CONTINUE TO ADVISE POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE PATIENTS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ENROLLMENT IN MEDICAID/AHCCCS AND OFFER TO ASSIST IN SUCH ENROLLMENT.	NEEDS ASSESSMENT
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4	BH HAD 23 HOSPITALS (AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011), AND OPERATES OR LEASES NURSING HOMES, PHYSICIAN CLINICS, HOME HEALTH AGENCIES, AMBULATORY FACILITIES, AND DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT SERVICES IN SEVEN WESTERN STATES.

SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5	BH IS GOVERNED BY A COMMUNITY BOARD, DRAWN PRIMARILY FROM THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY BH. THIS BOARD ESTABLISHES BH' PRIORITIES AND ENSURES THAT IT OPERATES IN A MANNER THAT WILL FURTHER ITS CHARITABLE, NONPROFIT PURPOSE TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. AS A NONPROFIT ENTITY, BH EXISTS TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, NOT TO GENERATE PROFITS. TO THAT END, EVERY DOLLAR EARNED IS REINVESTED IN NEW EQUIPMENT, NEW OR EXPANDED PATIENT CARE SERVICES, NEW TECHNOLOGIES, MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES AND NEW FACILITIES TO MEET MARKET NEEDS OR TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION. FOR EVERY $1 RECEIVED IN PAYMENT FOR PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS, WE SPEND, ON AVERAGE $.95 TO PAY OUR EXPENSES. THESE EXPENSES ARE ALLOCATED AS FOLLOWS: - SALARIES AND BENEFITS (.49) - OPERATING EXPENSES SUCH AS UTILITIES, MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND INSURANCE (.16) - SUPPLIES (.16) - DEPRECIATION ON CAPITAL INVESTMENTS LIKE EQUIPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION (.05) - INTEREST AND LEASE EXPENSE (.04) - BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR PATIENTS THAT CAN'T OR WON'T PAY FOR THEIR CARE (.05). IN PARTICULAR, BANNER'S HEAVY REINVESTMENT IN CLINICAL SYSTEMS AND HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENABLES BH TO PROVIDE A UNIFORMLY HIGH QUALITY OF CARE THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING BH'S SMALL, RURAL, CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS. PHYSICIANS AND STAFF PRACTICING IN THESE SOLE COMMUNITY PROVIDERS HAVE THE SAME ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SYSTEMS AND COMPUTERIZED PHYSICIAN ORDER ENTRY AND DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS AS ARE UTILIZED IN BH'S LARGEST TEACHING HOSPITAL. IN ADDITION, BY MEANS OF REMOTE MONITORING AND TELEMEDICINE TECHNOLOGIES, THESE SMALL RURAL HOSPITALS HAVE ACCESS TO THE CLINICAL AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, THEREBY BRINGING A LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATED HEALTH CARE TO THESE COMMUNITIES THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE POSSIBLE. EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE AVAILABILITY OF CONSISTENT AND EFFICIENT PHYSICIAN SERVICES, BH UTILIZES AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF MODEL, THEREBY MAKING THE FACILITIES AVAILABLE TO LOCAL PHYSICIANS TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY HOSPITAL SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION, BH IS AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING AN INTEGRATION STRATEGY INVOLVING NETWORKS OF EMPLOYED AND INDEPENDENT PHYSICIANS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING EFFICIENT, EVIDENCE-BASED AND HIGH-QUALITY CLINICAL CARE WITHIN AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM COVERING THE FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE. THIS WILL ENABLE BH TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES WHILE LIMITING THE COSTS OF PROVIDING SUCH CARE.	PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH

BANNER HEALTH HAS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED ANNUALLY BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AND USES THIS SAME FIRM TO PREPARE ITS FORM 990 BECAUSE OF ITS EXPERTISE IN NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AND ITS SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF BANNER HEALTH'S OPERATIONS AND RETURN COMPLEXITY. THE BANNER HEALTH FINANCE DEPARTMENT ALSO EMPLOYS AN INTERNAL STAFF OF TAX SPECIALISTS.

DURING THIS STAGE, THE TAX PREPARER REVIEWS THE INFORMATION AND WORKS WITH BANNER HEALTH'S INTERNAL TAX STAFF TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, GATHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ADDRESS ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE. ONCE THE INFORMATION-GATHERING PROCESS IS COMPLETE, A FIRST DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED AND READIED FOR REVIEW. THE REVIEW PROCESS BEGINS WITH AN INITIAL REVIEW DONE BY A COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF BANNER HEALTH'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, GENERAL COUNSEL, AND OTHER MANAGEMENT MEMBERS FROM THE FINANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE OUTSIDE TAX PREPARER'S FIRM.

THE COMMITTEE: - ASSESSES ANNUALLY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CEO - RECOMMENDS TO THE BOARD APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO - REVIEWS AND DETERMINES THE EXECUTIVE TOTAL COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY OF BANNER HEALTH - ESTABLISHES THE PERMISSIBLE RANGES OF COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND DISQUALIFIED PERSONS - REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE DESIGN OF THE COMPONENTS OF COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND ANY OTHER DISQUALIFIED PERSONS AND MONITORS COMPLIANCE OF BANNER HEALTH WITH THE PHILOSOPHY AND DESIGN COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - RECEIVES THE CEO'S REPORT CONCERNING THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVES - ACTS FOR THE BOARD IN THE ENGAGEMENT AND DIRECT OVERSIGHT OF EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS ENGAGED TO PROVIDE ADVICE AND INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REASONABLENESS AND COMPETITIVENESS OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE CEO, SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND ANY OTHER DISQUALIFIED PERSONS, WHICH CONSULTANT REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE COMMITTEE IN ADDITION, THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING BEST PRACTICES WITH RESPECT TO ITS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OVERSIGHT FUNCTION: - REVIEWS ALL INCENTIVE PLANS, BENEFIT PLANS AND PROGRAMS THAT APPLY TO EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS - APPROVES THE CEO'S RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO THE COMPENSATION OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES - USES TALLY SHEETS SUMMARIZING ALL COMPONENTS OF THE CEO'S AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES' COMPENSATION, INCLUDING A THREE-YEAR EARNINGS HISTORY AND THE COST OF ALL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY DEFERRED COMPENSATION) AT THE TIME THAT ANY ACTION IS TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE CEO'S OR SENIOR EXECUTIVES' COMPENSATION IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMITTEE IS FULLY INFORMED OF THE COMPLETE COMPENSATION PACKAGE BEFORE TAKING ANY SUCH ACTION - REVIEWS THE ANNUAL FORM 990 DISCLOSURES RELATING TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TO ENSURE THE DISCLOSURES ACCURATELY RECONCILE TO THE COMPENSATION PACKAGES APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE. AS STATED, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RETAINS AN EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM TO ASSIST THE COMMITTEE. IN 2011 THE COMMITTEE ENGAGED A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM WITH SUBSTANTIAL HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE. THIS FIRM REVIEWED AND OPINED AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO, SENIOR EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, AND OTHER EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMITTEE AS POTENTIAL DISQUALIFIED PERSONS. THE COMMITTEE PERIODICALLY REVIEWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BANNER HEALTH AND EACH CONSULTANT TO ENSURE THE CONSULTANT'S INDEPENDENCE. IN CONNECTION WITH EACH SUCH EVALUATION, THE COMMITTEE REQUESTS A WRITTEN CERTIFICATION FROM EACH CONSULTANT THAT: - INCLUDES AN INDEPENDENCE ATTESTATION AFFIRMING THAT THE CONSULTANT HAS CONDUCTED ITS OWN INTERNAL ASSESSMENT AND, BASED ON SUCH ASSESSMENT AND ITS INTERNAL CONTROLS, CONCLUDED THAT IT HAS PERFORMED ITS SERVICES FOR THE COMMITTEE IN AN INDEPENDENT MANNER AND IS INDEPENDENT AS DEFINED IN THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTION REGULATIONS UNDER CODE SECTION 4958 - CONFIRMS THAT THE CONSULTANT REPORTS TO THE COMMITTEE THROUGH THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE AND THAT ALL CONSULTING ACTIVITY FOR BANNER HEALTH CONDUCTED BY SUCH CONSULTANT DURING THE PRECEDING YEAR WAS CONDUCTED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT OF THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE - DETAILS THE AMOUNTS PAID BY BANNER HEALTH TO THE CONSULTANT IN ITS CAPACITY AS AN EXTERNAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO THE COMMITTEE, AND THE AMOUNTS PAID BY BANNER HEALTH, IF ANY, TO THE CONSULTANT AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY OTHER ENGAGEMENTS. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ANNUALLY REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO, AND RECOMMENDS ADJUSTMENTS TO HIS BASE SALARY AS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BASED UPON THE REVIEW, SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION FROM THE CONSULTANT (WHO ATTENDS SUCH MEETING) THAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS APPROPRIATE AND WILL NOT RESULT IN THE OVERALL COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO BECOMING UNREASONABLE. THE RECOMMENDATION IS THEN PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH THEN VOTES UPON THE RECOMMENDATION (WITH THE PRESIDENT/CEO ABSENT FROM THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING). IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPENSATION DECISION IS SUBJECT TO THE ACTION OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, THE BOARD MAY NOT APPROVE A SALARY ACTION DIFFERENT FROM THAT RECOMMENDED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WITHOUT THE CONCURRENCE OF THE COMMITTEE. THE PRESIDENT/CEO ESTABLISHES THE BASE SALARY OF THE EXECUTIVES WHO DIRECTLY REPORT TO HIM, AND THOSE EXECUTIVES IN TURN ESTABLISH THE BASE SALARY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO REPORT TO THEM. ALL BASE SALARIES ARE, HOWEVER, BASED UPON RANGES FOR THE POSITIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE BANNER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT. THESE RANGES ARE ESTABLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY THAT IS ESTABLISHED, AND PERIODICALLY REVIEWED, BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. IN ADDITION, EXECUTIVES AND THOSE WHO REPORT TO THEM MAY NOT RECEIVE ANNUAL INCREASES GREATER THAN THOSE ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND WITHIN OVERALL BUDGET TARGETS, WHICH ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL EXEMPT EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT BANNER. PERIODIC EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE MADE UPON APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT BASED UPON SPECIFIC MARKET DATA. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RECEIVES AN ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT SHOWING THAT BASE SALARIES ARE BEING MAINTAINED CONSISTENT WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE. AS STATED IN THE REPONSE TO SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7, THE SIGNIFICANT NON-FIXED COMPONENTS OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO AND OTHER SENIOR MANAGEMENT ARE ESTABLISHED AND MONITORED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT AND ARE INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REASONABLENESS OPINION RENDERED BY THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. CONTEMPORANEOUS MINUTES ARE KEPT OF ALL MEETINGS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND OF THE ACTIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF PRESIDENT/CEO AND REVIEWING AND MONITORING THE COMPENSATION FOR ALL OTHER SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND TOP MANAGEMENT.
