        <BadDebtFootnote>The Hospital provides services to patients in the Eastern Shore area of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, the majority of whom are covered by third-party health insurance. The Hospital bills the insurer directly for services provided. Insurance coverage and financial information is obtained from patients upon admission when available. The Hospital's policy is to perform in-house collection procedures for approximately 85 days. A determination is made at that time as to what additional collection efforts to pursue. A provision for uncollectible accounts is recorded for amounts not yet written off, which are expected to become uncollectible. Discounts ranging from 2% to 6% of charges are given to Medicare, Medicaid and certain approved commercial health insurance and health maintenance organization programs for regulated services. Discounts in varying percentages are given for certain unregulated services. These major payors routinely review patient billings and deny payment for certain charges as medically unnecessary or as performed without appropriate preauthorization. Discounts and denials are recorded as reductions of net patient service revenue. Accounts receivable from these third-party payors have been adjusted to reflect the difference between charges and the estimated reimbursable amounts. Approximately 36% and 36%, respectively, of accounts receivable were due from the Medicare program as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Hospital believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on the financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs. Bad Debt Methodology - Peninsula Regional Medical Center is a tax-exempt not-for-profit hospital that provides quality medical services to patients regardless of their ability to pay. By providing medical services to all community members regardless of their ability to pay, the hospital's bad debt expense qualifies as a community benefit. The bad debt expense calculated on Line 2 was calculated using the patient care cost to charges methodology.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>Medicare allowable costs were calculated using a cost to charge ratio. Peninsula Regional Medical Center provides quality medical services to all patients regardless of what insurance they have. Approximately, 49.13% of the Medical Center's revenue is attributable to Medicare patients.</ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>
        <DebtCollectionPolicy>Collection policies are the same for all patients. If a patient notifies the medical center about their inability to pay, the medical center will send them the charity care and financial assistance forms to fill out. Once the forms are complete and returned to the medical center and the patient qualifies for financial assistance, then the patient's account will be removed from collections and the account will be written off.</DebtCollectionPolicy>
        <NeedsAssessment>PART VI, LINE 2 Peninsula Regional Medical Center in cooperation with the Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset Counties, Health Departments, the Atlantic General Hospital and the Edward W. McCready Memorial Hospital, has been conducting community health surveys of the Tri-County area since 1995. These surveys, administered by Professional Research Consultants (PRC) of Omaha, Nebraska were administered in 1995, 2000, 2004 and 2009. In addition to these adult surveys, a separate adolescent survey was conducted in 2000, 2005, and 2010. Results of these surveys are used by the participants to assess community health needs and plan future services. Of particular note was the development of the Tri-County Diabetes Alliance, which is a cooperative venture between all the partners and community agencies to reduce the incidences of diabetes in the tri-county area. Other outcomes resulting from the survey findings include smoking cessation programs, other early detection and screening programs for heart and cancer, as well as health promotion and education with a focus on prevention. The PRC Community Health Assessment is a systematic, data-driven approach to determining the health status, behaviors and needs of our community residents. Survey results are shared with the community and are posted to the participants websites. This Community Health Assessment serves as a tool towards reaching the following three goals: 1. To improve residents' health status, increase their life spans, and elevate their overall quality of life. 2. Reduce the health disparities among residents by gathering demographic information along with health status and behavior data. 3. To increase accessibility to preventive services for all community residents.</NeedsAssessment>
        <PatientEducationAssistance>PART VI, LINE 3 Peninsula Regional Medical Center makes available to all patients the highest quality of medical care possible within the resources available. If a patient is unable to pay due to financial resources, all efforts will be made to help the patient obtain assistance through appropriate agencies, or, if help is not available, to provide care at reduced or zero cost. One of Peninsula Regional's overall guiding principles is that concern over a hospital bill should never prevent any individual from receiving emergency health services The Medical Center will communicate this message clearly to prospective patients and to local community service agencies and make it clear that emergency services will be provided without regard to ability to pay. The Medical Center will ensure that an emergency admission or treatment is not delayed or denied pending determination of coverage or requirement for prepayment or deposit. The Medical Center will post adequate notice of the availability of medical services, and the general obligation of the Hospital to provide charity care. Peninsula Regional's "Financial Assistance Policy" includes the required language of determination of probable eligibility within two business days. On page 2, the "Financial Assistance Policy" states that upon receipt of the financial assistance request, the Representative will review income and all documentation. The patient must be notified within two business days of their probable eligibility. In accordance with section 1, 2 and 3, Peninsula Regional provides public notice and information regarding its charity care policy in Delmarva's largest paper "The Daily Times", posted signs in the admission, business office emergency room and other major service areas of the Medical Center; additionally individual notice is provided to each person who seeks services in the Medical Center at the time of pre-admission or admission.</PatientEducationAssistance>
        <CommunityInformation>PART VI, LINE 4 Peninsula Regional is located in Salisbury, Maryland . The Hospital's service area is predominately rural and covers 6 counties located in three different states: Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. Some of the unique healthcare characteristics of these counties include a high prevalence of diabetes which is approximately twice that of the state of Maryland. There is a higher incidence of skin cancer and the incidence rate for heart disease is statistically significantly higher than Maryland. In addition, the median income is lower than that of Maryland and educational attainment lags behind the States average. The Medical Center's Primary Service Area is comprised of the majority of zip codes in Wicomico, Worcester, and Somerset Counties. As of June 30th, 2010 these counties contributed approximately 77 percent of Peninsula Regional's total discharges. The Medical Center also services Dorchester County, Maryland, the Southern portion of Sussex County, Delaware and the Northern portion of Accomack County, Virginia. These counties comprised an additional 23 percent of the Medical Center's total discharges during the same time period.

Between 2009 and 2014, the Medical Center's Primary Service Area (Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset Counties, Maryland) is expected to grow 5.3 percent or slightly more than 1 percent per year. Much of this growth will be experienced in Wicomico County at a rate of 6.8 percent followed by Worcester County at 3.4 percent and Somerset County at 3.3 percent. In the Medical Center's secondary service area (Dorchester County, Maryland, Sussex County, Delaware, and Accomack County, Virginia) the population is expected to grow 8 percent or 1.6 percent per year over the same time period. Most of this growth (10.2 percent) is expected to occur in Sussex County, Delaware.</CommunityInformation>
        <CommunityBuildingActivities>PART VI, LINE 5 Peninsula Regional Medical Center is committed to the health of the rural communities it serves. In FY 2010, the Hospital's charity care increased 20% ($11,506,723 to $13,865,063) from the previous year. In addition, combined charity and bad debt for FY2010 was $31,842,050. The Health of the Community is the Hospital's mission providing quality healthcare and ease of access for a rural population. To that end ,the Hospital has established 9 Primary Care Physician satellite offices located strategically throughout the service area. These satellite locations address the specific diseases that are indigent to these rural areas. Based on the information gathered through the most recent Community Health Assessment and the guidelines set forth in Healthy People 2010, the following "health priorities" represent a significant opportunity for health improvement which are being addressed by the Hospital, Physician Satellite Offices and the County Health Departments: - Diabetes (As a result of the Community Health Assessment Survey, a Tri-County Diabetes Alliance was established to help educate, create awareness, and improve the health of people with diabetes and those at risk for developing diabetes) www.tridiabetes.org - Heart Disease &amp; Stroke - Nutrition - Access to Health Care Services In addition to these areas, there are multiple other priorities and contributing factors that each partner assessed in conjunction with this survey. In identifying priorities for community action and designing strategies for implementation, a number of criteria were applied to the consideration process, including: Impact: The degree to which the issue affects or exacerbates other quality of life and health-related issues. Magnitude: The number of persons affected, also taking into Account variance from benchmark data and year 2010 targets. Seriousness: The degree to which the problem leads to death, disability or impairs one's quality of life. Feasibility: The ability of organizations to reasonably impact the issue, given available resources. Consequences of inaction: The risk of exacerbating the problem by not addressing at the earliest opportunity. Each partner was responsible for engaging in activities specific to the geography within which they operate. Each partner used the results of the survey to plan screenings and/or interventions tailored to the needs of their population. Partners shared plans and collaborated where possible. In addition to the programs already presented, a number of other initiatives from the community health survey have been started including: - Under the priority area of access to care, access to dental services - particularly for children was identified. As a result, grants and gifts were received to expand dental programs at the local Health Department. - For heart disease, a state grant supplied the money to do work site wellness programs including screenings. - For cancer, money from the cigarette restitution fund was used to provide colorectal screenings including prevention, education, diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, funds were obtained from a grant to provide mammograms for low income women. - In terms of obesity, a three year federal grant provided funds targeted at African-American families to participate in a program to make lifestyle changes, quit smoking, control their blood pressure, exercise (through a walking program) and meetings with a nutritionist to modify their eating behavior. - For substance abuse, a new suboxone (a heroin alternative) clinic was established with great success. This is the only such clinic on the Eastern Shore - And finally, for mental health care, a new clinic which is co-located in a primary care site expands care for mental health patients without the stigma of being seen in a Mental Health Clinic.</CommunityBuildingActivities>
        <OtherInformation>PART VI, LINE 6 Community Flu Shots The mission of the Medical Center is to "Improve the health of the communities we serve." In fiscal year 2010, the Medical Center provided over 5,000 flu shots (below cost, we did ask for a donation) through a 3 day drive - thru flu campaign. The Medical Center gave over 750 free flu shots to the residents in Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset and Sussex counties. Atlantic United Methodist Church/Diakonia/Phillips Restaurant -100 Lower Shore Enterprises - 59 Salisbury Substance Abuse Center - 30 Laurel King's Methodist Church - 40 New Macedonia Baptist Church - 30 Homeless Community - 280 Village of Hope Clinic - 85 Three Lower Counties (TLC) - 58 Seton Center - 68 *Due to the national shortage, PRMC was not able to give out as many flu shots, as in 2010 Peninsula Partners Peninsula Partners is designed for individuals 55 and older and is a special program provided as a service to our community absolutely free. Peninsula Partners members will learn tips on healthy living, attend seminars and participate in health screenings. This program provides: - Monthly Lifestyle Newsletter - featuring healthy tips, in depth health articles, etc. - Safe Driving Classes - Health Screenings - Social Events - Inpatient Visits - Safety Classes - Seminars on Various Health Topics In FY2010, Peninsula Partners had over 9,500 members and over 901 inpatient visits were made. Wagner Wellness Van Peninsula Regional's Wagner Wellness Van delivers health care assessments and education to rural locations within the Hospitals service area. The van has multiple uses and many venues. It is on site at local community outdoor festivals with staff providing the following screenings: blood pressure, pulse oximetry, body fat analysis, grip strength, and vision. During FY 10 we screened 415 members of the community with varied "at risk" levels. (This only represents our van presence at major community initiatives, and does not represent the multitude of community appearances made by other Medical Center departments at health fairs on the Delmarva Peninsula.) In October 2008, in an effort to expand our mobile service to the at-risk and underserved populations, Peninsula Regional Medical Center formed a partnership with the Wicomico Health Department to offer diabetes, stroke and hypertension education and screenings to these populations (sites recommended by the health department). This program continues today. Other Initiatives The Hospital and its employees also participate on an annual basis in many charitable causes that promote a healthy lifestyle and overall well -being of those in the community. In CY2010, Hospital employees contributed over $156,000 to the United Way campaign, in addition to having over 100 employees walk and participate in the March of Dimes. Hospital employees and physicians also participated in the 2010 Wicomico County Relay for Life. This cancer survivor's reception hosted over 600 cancer survivors and brings hope to those suffering. Every year Hospital Employees are engaged in Community Outreach which are volunteer type services provided "outside the realm of normal hospital patient care." The Hospital encourages volunteerism in the following areas: - Health Screenings - Health Education - Support Groups - Program Support - Research - Financial Contributions In FY2010, over 62,500 hours were given by employees. As an example, the Hospital is a community partner with "The Wellness Community of Delmarva." This is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free emotional support, education and hope for people affected by cancer and their loved ones. The Hospital's employees voluntarily give of their time and talents to support this terrific program . The Hospital also participates in the "Healthiest Maryland" initiative a recent program launched by Lt. Governor Brown, the Administration and Secretary Colmers. This is a statewide movement to create a culture of wellness - an environment where the healthiest choice is easy. Maryland Rural HealthCare Association is another agency that promotes the delivery of rural health care, their mission statement is to: Enhance the health and well being of rural populations in Maryland through leadership, education, advocacy and collaboration. The Hospital is represented on this committee and is committed to finding solutions to providing the most efficient and effective healthcare delivery to an underserved rural population. There exist geographic pockets in Peninsula Regional's service area which are Federally listed as being underserved by healthcare providers. In an effort to address the rural populations need for providers, the Hospital has partnered in developing healthcare programs with local colleges and universities. For example, the Hospital has collaborated with UMES (University of Maryland Eastern Shore) and has made a 5 year $250,000 dollar investment in their Physician Assistant Program. This investment will expand the healthcare educational opportunities, and in the future provide health care professionals available to care for residents in our region. There continues to be ongoing collaborations with Wor-Wic Community College and Salisbury University to further develop healthcare programs and providers to meet the challenges of 21st century healthcare.
