Explanation	Item g: Amount represents the salaries and expenses of employees who engaged in lobbying activities on behalf of South Shore Hospital. Item i: $42,334 represents a percentage of the Hospital's annual apportionment of MHA/AHA dues attributable to lobbying expenses. MHA/AHA gives its members an annual percentage breakdown of member dues utilized for lobbying activities. For the year ended September 30, 2010 it was determined that 24.94% of dues was used for lobbying purposes. The remaining $15,000 represents amounts paid to an outside firm for public relations expenses. South Shore Hospital advocates for public policy that positively impacts the health and well-being of the communities we serve. The Hospital works with local, state and federal officials to advance initiatives that will enhance public safety, improve access to health services, assure appropriate health care reimbursements and stimulate economic development. We partner with state and national health care associations to develop and improve government-funded programs. We welcome elected and nonelected officials to visit our hospital to discuss health care policy issues affecting our region, the Commonwealth and the nation.	Explanation

Shortfall As Community Benefit	South Shore Hospital provides a valuable community benefit by treating all individuals within the Hospital's service area, regardless of ability to pay. One of 8 people in our area live near or below the poverty level. These individuals would have to travel out of our area or possibly forgo medical treatment without the services the Hospital provides. The Hospital uses the cost to charge ratio from the Department of Health Care Finance & Policy 403 report filed with the state.	ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection Policy	The Hospital does not bill the following categories of patients (except that the Hospital will bill patients for any applicable co-pays or deductibles required by a particular assistance program): patients enrolled in MassHealth, patients receiving governmental benefits under the Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled and Childrens Program and Healthy Start participants. Also, participants in the Children's Medical Security Plan whose family income is equal to or less than 400% of the FPL are exempt from collection action. Low income patients determined pusuant to 114.6 CMR 13.04(2) are exempt from collection action for any eligible services, except for co-payments and deductibles that are not eligible services under 114.6 CMR 12.03 (6)(b). Low income patients determined pursuant to 114.6 CMR 12.03(3)(b) within 201-400% of the FPL are exempt from collection action for the portion of the provider bill that exceeds the deductible and may be billed for co-payments and deductibles as set forth in 114.6 CMR 13.04. Providers may bill low income patients for services other than eligible services provided at the request of the patient and for which the patient has agred to be responsible if providers receive the patient's written consent to be billed for the service. The Hospital will not undertake collection action against an individual that has qualified for medical hardship with respect to the amount of the bill that exceeds the medical hardship contribution. The Hospital may initiate billing for a patient who claims to be eligible for assistance programs but fails to provide proof of eligibility. Upon receipt of satisfactory proof of eligibility, the provider shall cease all collection activities. The Hospital, or its agents, will not charge interest on an overdue balance for a low income patient or for patients who are low income based on the Hospital's own internal financial assistance program.

Needs Assessment	South Shore Hospital utilizes many sources of information to determine the needs of individuals in the communities it serves. The Hospital reviews and analyzes health trends in our patient population. The Hospital also reviews data from Massachusetts Community Health Information Profile, American Hospital Association, Massachusetts Hosptial Association, Massachusetts Health Data Consortium, Federal Centers for Disease Control, Trust for America's Health and the Kaiser Family Foundation. South Shore Hosptial is involved with three Community Health Network Areas (CHNAs), serving of 34 communities south of Boston, to address public health priorities. CHNAs were formed in 1992 by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to encourage public, non-profit and private sectors to work together to build healthier communities. South Shore Hospital is working with these CHNAs to conduct community health assessments. Data collected will help determine unmet health needs in the region.	NeedsAssessment
