COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	NOT APPLICABLE
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $5,973,085.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II	AT BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE CARE WE PROVIDE THROUGH OUR HOSPITAL REACHES FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR FACILITY. OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS AT THE HEART OF OUR CHARITABLE ROOTS. IN THIS NEW ERA OF HEALTH CARE REFORM, COMMUNITY BASED PREVENTION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN KEEPING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES HEALTHY AND KEEPING HEALTH CARE COSTS DOWN. BAYSHORE REMAINS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING ITS MISSION AND IN 2010 DEVOTED MORE THAN $250,000 IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS. THE SUCCESS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF BAYSHORE'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE EFFORTS OF ITS COMMITTED STAFF OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, HEALTHCARE SPECIALISTS AND COMMUNITY EDUCATORS ALONG WITH DEDICATED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HELP IDENTIFY, DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES THAT POSITIVELY IMPACT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENT, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL HOSPITAL AFFILIATES. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE RESULT FROM HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR WHICH THE COMPANY RECEIVES PAYMENT UNDER COST REIMBURSEMENT, PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT FORMULAE OR NEGOTIATED RATES, WHICH COVER THE MAJORITY OF PATIENT SERVICES, AND ARE STATED AT THE ESTIMATED NET AMOUNT RECEIVABLE FROM PAYORS, WHICH ARE GENERALLY LESS THAN THE ESTABLISHED BILLING RATES. THE AMOUNT OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS BASED ON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED COLLECTIONS, BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. ADDITIONS TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLES RESULT FROM THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE ARE DEDUCTED FROM THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLES. CHARITY CARE THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA DEFINED BY THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES (DHSS) WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ESTABLISHED RATES. THE HOSPITAL'S RECORDS IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES AND INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FORGONE FOR SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO EITHER DO NOT MEET THE DHSS CRITERIA OR FOR WHOM THE HOSPITAL WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION TO MAKE A CHARITY CARE DETERMINATION AND, ACCORDINGLY, THESE AMOUNTS ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. THE CURRENT DHSS CHARITY CARE GUIDELINES REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION FROM THE PATIENT IN ORDER TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A CHARITY CARE ACCOUNT. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THE PRESENT CHARITY CARE GUIDELINES CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE AMOUNTS AND AN OVERSTATEMENT OF THE BAD DEBTS REPORTED BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTIES WITH OBTAINING PATIENT COOPERATION. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES DISCOUNTS TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE, BASING THESE DISCOUNTS ON RATES PAID BY MEDICARE OR OTHER PAYORS FOR IDENTICAL SERVICES. THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010, BASED ON THE CORPORATION'S ESTABLISHED CHARGES, WAS APPROXIMATELY $25,487,452.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2010 MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITALS' BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL INVESTS SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN SYSTEMS AND STAFF TRAINING TO ASSIST PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICE, AND ALL ITS HOSPITAL AFFILIATES, TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. FOR ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE 'SELF-PAY" AND/OR ACCOUNTS WITH BALANCE AFTER PRIMARY INSURANCE PAYMENTS, THE COLLECTION POLICY REQUIRES: SENDING THREE STATEMENTS, A MINIMUM OF ONE PRE-COLLECTION LETTER, TELEPHONE CONTACT FOR ANY ACCOUNT OVER $200 OR AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AND/OR SUPERVISOR. THE FACILITY ALSO HAS A CHARITY CARE ACCESS POLICY TO ASSURE PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE DETERMINED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. IT IS THE POLICY TO INFORM ALL PATIENTS DEEMED SELF-PAY OF THE APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE. PATIENTS APPLYING FOR CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY SCREENED BY A RESOURCE ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY ACCORDING TO STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND WILL BE INFORMED OF DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION. PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE WILL BE FINANCIALLY COUNSELED FOR ALL OTHER OPTIONS. QUALIFIED PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES OR PROGRAMS TO MEET OTHER FINANCIAL NEEDS. AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT VISIT AND PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AT THE FACILITY, THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS: - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING MEDICAID AND SSI; - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR THE BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND, - FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING: 1. CASH/CREDIT CARD (AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER, VISA, MASTERCARD), 2. LOW INTEREST LOAN PROGRAM, OR 3. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT PLANS. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE OPTIONS, THE FACILITY HAS ESTABLISHED A SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR OUR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID OR THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RATES ARE REFLECTIVE OF MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT, AS REFERRED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY FOR THOSE PATEINTS UNDER 500% OF FPG, AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL COMPASSIONATE CARE DISCOUNTS FOR ALL OTHERS.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	ASSESSING THE LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS -------------------------------- IN 2010, BAYSHORE PARTICIPATED IN THE MERIDIAN LED PROCESS OF STRATEGICALLY REASSESSING THE AREA'S HEALTHCARE NEEDS. AN INTERNAL COMMUNITY HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS AND THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF SENIOR LEADERS FROM EACH MERIDIAN HOSPITAL, PARTNER COMPANIES AND OTHER CORPORATE DEPARTMENTS AND EXISTS FOR CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT, PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE COMMITTEE CONVENES ON A REGULAR BASIS, HAS DEVELOPED A WORK PLAN TO ENSURE GOALS AND DELIVERABLES ARE ACHIEVED, AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS WITH REGARD TO COMMUNITY BENEFITS. USING A NATIONALLY RENOWNED RESEARCH FIRM, MERIDIAN SURVEYED 1,000 HOUSEHOLDS VIA TELEPHONE IN MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES TO GATHER LOCAL RESIDENTS' VIEWS OF THEIR COMMUNITY'S MOST CRITICAL HEALTH NEEDS. THIS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT, A FOLLOW-UP TO A SIMILAR STUDY CONDUCTED IN 2006, IS A SYSTEMATIC, DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE HEALTH STATUS, BEHAVIORS AND NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS AND WILL SERVE AS A TOOL TO REACHING THREE BASIC GOALS: TO IMPROVE RESIDENTS' HEALTH STATUS, AND ELEVATE THEIR OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE, TO REDUCE THE HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RESIDENTS AND TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO PREVENTIVE SERVICES FOR ALL RESIDENTS. THE SURVEY INSTRUMENT USED FOR THE STUDY IS LARGELY BASED ON THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION'S BEHAVIORAL RISK SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEYS AND CUSTOMIZED QUESTIONS ADDRESSING GAPS IN INDICATOR DATA RELATIVE TO HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION AS WELL AS OTHER RECOGNIZED HEALTH ISSUES. THE SAMPLE DESIGN FOR THIS EFFORT CONSISTED OF A STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLE OF 1,054 INDIVIDUALS AGE 18 AND OLDER AND WAS CONSTRUCTED TO INCLUDE MINIMUM SAMPLE THRESHOLDS FOR EACH HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA AS WELL AS AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINO RESPONDENTS. IN ADDITION, FIVE FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A TOTAL OF 32 KEY PERSONS IN THE COMMUNITY INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS. THESE FINDINGS REPRESENT QUALITATIVE RATHER THAN QUANTITATIVE DATA. THE GROUPS WERE DESIGNED TO GATHER INPUT FROM PARTICIPANTS REGARDING THEIR OPINIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE HEALTH OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA. A VARIETY OF SECONDARY DATA SOURCES WERE ALSO CONSULTED TO COMPLEMENT THE SURVEY AND FOCUS GROUP DATA AND INCLUDES; STATE OF NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES, NEW JERSEY UNIFORM CRIME REPORT, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL & PREVENTION, ESRI BIS DEMOGRAPHIC PORTFOLIO (PROJECTIONS BASED ON US CENSUS) AND NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS. THESE SOURCES HAVE DATA AND INFORMATION ON PRIMARY AND CHRONIC DISEASE NEEDS AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES OF THE UNINSURED, LOW INCOME AND MINORITY GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, THESE AND OTHER SECONDARY SOURCES WERE USED TO DEVELOP A LIST OF EXISTING RESOURCES OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES AT MERIDIAN AS WELL AS OTHER PROVIDERS IN THE AREA. MERIDIAN HAS IDENTIFIED FOUR SOURCES OF BENCHMARKING DATA THAT IT WILL USE THROUGHOUT THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND INCLUDES, TRENDING DATA FROM THE SIMILAR SURVEY CONDUCTED IN 2006, NEW JERSEY RISK FACTOR DATA FROM SECONDARY SOURCES LISTED PREVIOUSLY, NATIONWIDE RISK FACTOR DATA, ALSO FROM SECONDARY SOURCES AND FINALLY, HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TARGETS.

DISCLOSURE INFORMATION	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	FOR ALL OF THE 2010 YEAR, PRIOR TO THE STATUTORY MERGER OF BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES, INC. INTO MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2010, BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ("HOSPITAL") WAS A TAX-EXEMPT AFFILIATE OF BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES, INC., A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE HOSPITAL'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE HOSPITAL'S PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT IS REASONABLE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE HOSPITAL TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM, INCLUDING THE HOSPITAL'S PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SIMILAR SIZED HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE HOSPITAL'S PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990, ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE SYSTEM'S PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE SYSTEM'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S JOB PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR AND IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE ORGANIZATION. OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS INCLUDE MARKET SURVEY DATA FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS, INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, PERSONNEL REVIEWS, EVALUATIONS, SELF-EVALUATIONS AND PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK MEETINGS.
