| Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds | $1,123,000 OF THE ENDOWMENT FUND BALANCE STEMS FROM A PERMANENT ENDOWMENT ADMINSTERED AND HELD BY MERCY HEALTH FOUNDATION, A RELATED ENTITY OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER. THE PURPOSE OF THE ENDOWMENT IS TO SUPPORT THE HEALTHCARE MINISTRY OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER. |
| Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote | MHS, MMC, SMI, MFC, SPPS, MHF, and MSS are not-for-profit organizations exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and are therefore not subject to federal income tax under current income tax regulations. MHS subsidiaries otherwise exempt from federal and state taxation are nonetheless subject to taxation at corporate tax rates at both the federal and state level on their unrelated business income. Current accounting standards define the threshold for recognizing uncertain income tax return positions in the financial statements as "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits, and also provide guidance on the measurement, classification and disclosure of tax return positions in the financial statements. Management believes there is no impact on MHS' accompanying consolidated financial statements related to uncertain income tax positions. |

| Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 | Facility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|
| Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 | Facility , 1 - MERCY MEDICAL CENTER. THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF MERCY'S COMMUNITY WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) which was completed and published before June 30, 2016. IN ADDITION, MERCY HAS COMPLETED AN UPDATED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IN JUNE 2018, JUNE 2021, as well as June 2024. THIS UPDATED VERSION IS AVAILABLE ON THE MERCY HEALTH SERVICES WEBSITE. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA WAS GATHERED BY MERCY IN ORDER TO UNDERTAKE THE 2024 CHNA. AS PART OF THE QUANTITATIVE DATA GATHERING PROCESS FOR THE 2018, 2021 AND 2024 CHNA, MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE MEMBERS WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND A CONSORTIUM OF BALTIMORE CITY HOSPITALS TO OBTAIN UNIFORM QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA INCLUDING DEMOGRAPHIC AND HEALTH DATA AND TO DEVELOP AND DISTRIBUTE A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY TO OBTAIN COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND INPUT FROM THOUSANDS OF THE BALTIMORE CITY RESIDENTS REGARDING COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SOCIAL CONCERNS.

FURTHER, AS PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS FOR 2013, 2016, 2018, 2021, AND 2024 MERCY REPRESENTATIVES SOUGHT INPUT REGARDING ITS PROPOSED CHNA SERVICE AREA FROM COMMUNITY LEADERS, PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES OF MINORITY, LOW INCOME, AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. THE CONSENSUS FEEDBACK FROM THESE DISCUSSIONS VALIDATES MERCY'S CHNA SERVICE AREA DEFINITION. IN ACCORDANCE WITH IRS REGULATIONS GOVERNING CHNAS, MERCY'S DEFINED CHNA COMMUNITY INCLUDES "MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW INCOME OR MINORITY POPULATIONS" ADDITIONALLY, SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW MARYLAND ALL-PAYER MODEL WHICH FOLLOWED THE COMPLETION OF MERCY'S 2013 CHNA, MERCY IS INCREASINGLY FOCUSED ON HIGH-UTILIZER PATIENTS, INCLUDING THOSE WITHIN OUR PREVIOUSLY-DEFINED CHNA COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA. AS EXPECTED, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT GEOGRAPHIC OVERLAP OF HIGH UTILIZER PATIENT ORIGIN AND OUR PREVIOUSLY-DEFINED CBSA, ESPECIALLY IN THE IMMEDIATE AREAS WHERE THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS RESIDE. THE SIMILARITY OF GEOGRAPHY PRESENTS AN ONGOING OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES AND MERCY'S FOCUSED POPULATION HEALTH INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE POTENTIALLY AVOIDABLE UTILIZATION AS IDENTIFIED IN MERCY'S HSCRC STRATEGIC HOSPITAL TRANSFORMATION PLAN. MERCY BELIEVES OUR POPULATION HEALTH STRATEGIES ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR CHNA FOCUS AREAS: -IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE AND THE FREQUENCY OF CARE FOR OUR HOMELESS NEIGHBORS. -IDENTIFYING TACTICS AND STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE BIRTH OUTCOMES AND PRE-NATAL CARE FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS. -EXPANDING ACCESS TO PREVENTATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES SUCH AS PRIMARY CARE TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES -PROVIDING SUPPORT TO VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE AND ADDICTION -PROVIDE TARGETED HEALTH EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES TO THE PUBLIC AND SUPPORT THE EDUCATION OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS, -ADVANCE PRACTICE PROVIDERS, NURSES, AND OTHER HEALTHCARE WORKERS WHO IN-TURN SERVE THE COMMUNITY. |

THE HOSPITAL FACILITY OR AN AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY DID NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OF THE COLLECTION ACTIONS NOTED IN PART V, SECTION B, LINE 19 BEFORE MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE ANY PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. IN ORDER TO HELP DETERMINE PATIENTS' ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE HOSPITAL UNDERTAKES A NUMBER OF ACTIONS, INCLUDING NOTIFYING PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ON ADMISSION, NOTIFYING PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY PROIOR TO DISCHARGE, NOTIFYING PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE PATIENTS' BILLS, AND DOCUMENTING ITS DETERMINATION OF WHETHER PATIENTS WERE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. |

| Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 | 7A. CHARITY CARE AT COST AND 7F. HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION ARE EXPLAINED IN THE FOLLOWING: MARYLAND'S REGULATORY SYSTEM CREATES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR HOSPITAL PAYMENT THAT DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF THE NATION. THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION, (HSCRC) DETERMINES PAYMENT THROUGH A RATE SETTING PROCESS ALL PAYORS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS, PAY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE SAME SERVICES DELIVERED AT THE SAME HOSPITAL. MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL PAYOR SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR REFERENCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PAYORS' RATES, WHICH DOES NOT ENABLE MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BREAKOUT ANY OFFSETTING REVENUE RELATED TO UNCOMPENSATED CARE. 7B. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID IS EXPLAINED IN THE FOLLOWING: MARYLAND'S REGULATORY SYSTEM CREATES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR HOSPITAL PAYMENT THAT DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF THE NATION. THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION, (HSCRC) DETERMINES PAYMENT THROUGH A RATE SETTING PROCESS ALL PAYORS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS, PAY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE SAME SERVICES DELIVERED AT THE SAME HOSPITAL. MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL PAYOR SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR REFERENCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PAYORS' RATES, WHICH DOES NOT ENABLE MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BREAKOUT ANY DIRECTED OFFSETTING REVENUE RELATED TO UNCOMPENSATED CARE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO MEDICAID REVENUES IN MARYLAND, AS SUCH, THE NET EFFECT IS ZERO. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE IMPACT ON THE HOSPITAL OF ITS SHARE OF THE MEDICAID ASSESSMENT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS CLOSED FISCAL GAPS IN THE STATE MEDICAID BUDGET BY ASSESSING HOSPITALS THROUGH THE RATE SETTING SYSTEM. FOR FY 2025 MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S SHARE OF THE MEDICAID ASSESSMENT WAS $1,860,865. |
| Schedule H, Part V, Section A | MERCY MEDICAL CENTER (MMC) IS A LICENCED HOSPITAL. MMC PROVIDES INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT AND EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES PRIMARILY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THE BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREA. |
| Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 21 | THE HOSPITAL FACILITY PROVIDES A DISCOUNT OF AT LEAST 10% OFF OF GROSS CHARGES FOR THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. PURSUANT TO THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC) ALL-PAYOR SYSTEM FOR HOSPITALS IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND, THE GREATEST DISCOUNT OFF OF GROSS CHARGES FOR THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE PERMITTED TO ANY COMMERCIAL INSURER OR MEDICARE IS ONLY 6%. AS A RESULT, THE HOSPITAL FACILITY WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT CHARGED TO INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS NOT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT GENERALLY BILLED TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE INSURANCE COVERING SUCH CARE. |
| Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 23 | THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT CHARGE ANY INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE GROSS CHARGES FOR ANY SERVICE. THE HOSPITAL USED THE CHARGEMASTER RATES FOR A SERVICE AS A STARTING POINT AGAINST WHICH REDUCTIONS ARE APPLIED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY BILLED TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. |
| Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c | MERCY MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT NO CHARGE OR AT REDUCED-COST BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE FOR INCOME (UP TO APPROXIMATELY 500% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES) AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT OTHER CONSIDERATIONS, AS DESCRIBED BELOW. IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, A PATIENT MUST BE A U.S. CITIZEN OR PERMANENT LEGAL RESIDENT WHO QUALIFIES UNDER AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. A PATIENT WITH FAMILY INCOME AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, WITH LESS THAN $100,000 IN HOUSEHOLD MONETARY ASSETS QUALIFIES FOR FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF FREE MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. 2. A PATIENT NOT OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID OR CHIP WHO IS A BENEFICIARY/RECIPIENT OF A MEANS-TESTED SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT NECESSARILY LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS, IS DEEMED ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF FREE MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE, PROVIDED THAT THE PATIENT SUBMITS PROOF OF ENROLLMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS UNLESS THE PATIENT OR THE PATIENT'S REPRESENTATIVE REQUESTS AN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS: A) HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN IN THE FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM B) SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) C) LOW-INCOME-HOUSEHOLD ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM D) PRIMARY ADULT CARE PROGRAM (PAC), UNTIL SUCH TIME AS INPATIENT BENEFITS ARE ADDED TO THE PAC BENEFIT PACKAGE E) WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN (WIC). 3. A PATIENT WITH FAMILY INCOME AT OR BELOW 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, WITH LESS THAN $100,000 IN HOUSEHOLD MONETARY ASSETS QUALIFIES FOR PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS CASE IS BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE OF INCOME AND SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED TABLE AND OTHER FACTORS. 4. A PATIENT WITH: (I) FAMILY INCOME AT OR BELOW 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL; (II) WITH MEDICAL DEBT INCURRED WITHIN THE 12 MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO APPLICATION THAT EXCEEDS 25% OF FAMILY INCOME FOR THE SAME PERIOD; AND (III) WITH LESS THAN $100,000 IN HOUSEHOLD MONETARY ASSETS WILL QUALIFY FOR PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS CASE IS BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE OF INCOME, AMOUNT OF MEDICAL DEBT, AND OTHER FACTORS. A) AN ELIGIBLE PATIENT OR ANY IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER OF THE PATIENT LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD SHALL REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE WHEN SEEKING SUBSEQUENT CARE AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER DURING THE 12-MONTH PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE DATE ON WHICH THE REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE WAS INITIALLY RECEIVED. B) TO AVOID AN UNNECESSARY DUPLICATION OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S DETERMINATIONS OF ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A PATIENT ELIGIBLE FOR CARE UNDER PARAGRAPH 4.A SHALL INFORM THE HOSPTIAL OF HIS OR HER ELIGIBILITY FOR THE REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. 5. AN UNINSURED PATIENT WITH FAMILY INCOME BETWEEN 200% AND 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL WHO REQUESTS ASSISTANCE QUALIFIES FOR A PAYMENT PLAN. 6. A HOMELESS PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 7. A DECEASED PATIENT, WITH NO PERSON DESIGNATED AS DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL AFFAIRS, OR NO ESTATE NUMBER ON FILE AT THE APPLICABLE REGISTRARS OF WILLS DEPARTMENT, QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 8. A MEDICAID PATIENT WHO HAS A REMAINING BALANCE AFTER RECEIVING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 9. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER MAY ELECT TO GRANT PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS BASED ON INFORMATION GATHERED DURING A DEBT COLLECTION PROCESS. FACTORS INCLUDE PROPENSITY TO PAY SCORING, ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION IN OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAMS, AND OTHER RELEVENT INFORMATION. 10. A PATIENT WHO DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE PRECEDING CATEGORIES MAY STILL APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND MERCY MEDICAL CENTER WILL REVIEW THE APPLICATION AND MAKE A DETERMINATION ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS AS TO ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FACTORS THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED INCLUDE: A) FIXED INCOME SUCH AS SOCIAL SECURITY, RETIREMENT OR DISABILITY WITH NO ADDITIONAL INCOME SOURCES AVAILABLE B) MEDICAL EXPENSES AND/OR C) EXPENSES RELATED TO NECESSITIES OF LIFE COMPARED TO INCOME. FOR ALL PURPOSES OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, "HOUSEHOLD MONETARY ASSETS" MEANS ASSETS THAT ARE CONVERTIBLE TO CASH. IN DETERMINING A PATIENT'S MONETARY ASSETS FOR PURPOSES OF MAKING AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION UNDER THIS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE FOLLOWING ASSETS ARE EXCLUDED; (1) THE FIRST $10,000 OF MONETARY ASSETS; (2) EQUITY OF $150,000 IN A PRIMARY RESIDENCE; AND (3) RETIREMENT ASSETS TO WHICH THE IRS HAS GRANTED PREFERENTIAL TAX TREATMENT AS A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, QUALIFIED AND NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS. |
| Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services | THERE ARE NO COSTS REPORTED THAT ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC. |
| Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO CALCULATE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN LINE 7 WAS A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote | THE AMOUNT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON PART III, LINE 2 WAS DETERMINED USING ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS LESS RECOVERIES RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR AND AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BALANCE SHEET RESERVE. WRITE OFFS WERE AT CHARGE LEVEL. THE ORGANIZATION HAS NOT ESTIMATED ANY AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBE THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE ACTUAL TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE HAS NOT BEEN USED BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION IS A MEMBER OF A GROUP WITH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES AND ALLOWANCES NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED. THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARGES ARE BASED ON RATES ESTABLISHED BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION; ACCORDINGLY, REVENUE REFLECTS ACTUAL CHARGES TO PATIENTS BASED ON RATES IN EFFECT DURING THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE SERVICES ARE RENDERED. CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMOUNTS BILLED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND AMOUNTS ALLOWED BY THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, AND ARE ACCRUED IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED. THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS. THIS ESTIMATE CONSIDERS BUSINESS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON ITS REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND COLLECTIONS TO DATE. OTHER FACTORS, SUCH AS PAYER MIX, ACCOUNT AGING, APPROVED DISCOUNTS, DENIAL RATES, AND PAYMENT CYCLES ARE CONSIDERED WHEN ESTIMATING THE ALLOWANCES. THE RESULTS OF THESE ASSESSMENTS ARE USED TO DETERMINE THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS AND TO ESTIMATE AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING ITS SELF-PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WITH AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. AFTER COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE EXHAUSTED, THE UNCOLLECTED BALANCES ARE RETURNED TO BE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, NOR DID IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE OFFS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs | THE COSTING SOURCE IS THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND THE METHODOLOGY IS MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COST TO MEDICARE REVENUES RECEIVED. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance | ONCE THE COLLECTION PROCESS HAS BEGUN, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO MONITOR WHETHER THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. IF THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES THAT A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, INCLUDING ONCE THE COLLECTION PROCESS HAS BEGUN, THE ORGANIZATION WILL APPROVE THE PATIENT FOR CHARITY CARE. ONCE CHARITY CARE HAS BEEN APPROVED, THERE IS NO FURTHER ATTEMPT MADE BY THE ORGNANIZATION TO COLLECT. COLLECTION EFFORTS WILL BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. FURTHERMORE, A PATIENT'S PATIENT'S FINANCIAL SITUATION CHANGES AT ANY POINT DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS, THE PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT SUCH POINT. PATIENTS DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF SERVICE MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND OF PAYMENTS MADE IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE PATIENT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND OF PAYMENTS MADE IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE PATIENT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. |

| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment | MERCY MEDICAL CENTER GENERALLY EMPLOYS A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH IN IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THESE APPROACHES ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. AS PART OF THE QUANTITATIVE DATA GATHERING PROCESS FOR THE 2024 CHNA, MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE MEMBERS WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE BALTIMORE NEIGHBORHOOD INDICATORS ALLIANCE-JACOB FRANCE INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE (BNIA-JFI). BNIA-JFI IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE CORE MISSION IS TO PROVIDE OPEN ACCESS TO MEANINGFUL, RELIABLE, AND ACTIONABLE DATA ABOUT, AND FOR, THE CITY OF BALTIMORE AND ITS COMMUNITIES. BNIA-JFI BUILDS ON AND COORDINATES THE RELATED WORK OF CITYWIDE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, CITY AND STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, NEIGHBORHOODS, FOUNDATIONS, BUSINESSES, AND UNIVERSITIES TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE PRINCIPLE AND PRACTICE OF WELL INFORMED DECISION MAKING FOR CHANGE TOWARD STRONG NEIGHBORHOODS, IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE, AND A THRIVING CITY. BNIA-JFI IS ALSO A PARTNER MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD INDICATORS PARTNERSHIP OF THE URBAN INSTITUTE (NNIP). NNIP IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BY THE URBAN INSTITUTE AND NEARLY 40 LOCAL PARTNERS TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF NEIGHBORHOOD-LEVEL INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN LOCAL POLICYMAKING AND COMMUNITY BUILDING. BNIA-JFI PROVIDED TO MERCY' COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE A BROAD ARRAY OF NEIGHBORHOOD DATA INDICATORS THAT PROVIDE ALL OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES PRESENT IN MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA INCLUDING BARRIERS TO ACCESSING CARE, TO PREVENT ILLNESS, TO ENSURE ADEQUATE NUTRITION, OR TO ADDRESS SOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY. INCORPORATED INTO BNIA-JFI'S NEIGHBORHOOD-LEVEL SOCIOECONOMIC DATASETS ARE INDIVIDUAL NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH PROFILES COMPLETED BY THE BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND UPDATED IN MARCH 2012.

| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information | LOCATED IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER DRAWS PATIENTS FROM THE GREATER BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREA FOR ITS LONGSTANDING TRADITION OF COMPASSIONATE CARE, COMMITMENT TO QUALIFY AND PATIENT SAFETY, AS WELL AS ITS PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALIST PHYSICIANS. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA ("PSA") WHICH COMPRISES 16 ZIP CODES IN BALTIMORE CITY, ACCOUNTS FOR 46.7% OF ITS TOTAL ADMISSIONS. KEY DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PSA ARE AS FOLLOWS: POPULATION 1. THE CHNA SERVICE AREA (CBSA) POPULATION IS 176,389, REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 30% OF BALTIMORE CITY'S TOTAL POPULATION. 2. THE PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLDS LIVING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE IS DRAMATICALLY HIGHER THAN THE CITYWIDE PERCENTAGE (20.1% VS 14.5%). ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE FAR MORE CHILDREN LIVING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE WITHIN MERCY'S CHNA SERVICE AREA THAN CITYWIDE (32.7% VS 25.8%). 3. UNEMPLOYMENT WITHIN BALTIMORE CITY IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN STATEWIDE (3.8% VS 2.6%). PERHAPS MORE THAN ANY OTHER DATASET INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT, THIS DEMONSTRATES MERCY'S LONG-STANDING SPECIAL COMMITMENT TO SERVE THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED. ETHNICITY AND AGE 1. 56.0% BLACK; 31.6% CAUCASIAN IN CBSA. 2. APPROXIMATELY 54.0% OF PATIENTS SERVED BY MERCY MEDICAL CENTER ARE MEMBERS OF A RACIAL OR ETHNIC MINIORITIES; 66.2% ARE WOMEN 3. 29.5% OF THE POPULATION IS 65 YEARS IN AGE OR OLDER INCOME 1. 22.7% OF CBSA HOUSEHOLDS REPORTED LIVING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE. 2. THE PERCENTAGE OF FAMILIES LIVING IN MERCY'S CBSA THAT HAD INCOME THAT WAS BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL WAS GREATER COMPARED TO ALL FAMILIES IN BALTIMORE CITY (22.7% VS 15.3%). MORTALITY OF NOTE, THE MAJOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN PART VI, QUESTION 5 "PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH" DIRECTLY ADDRESS KEY HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION IN MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA. 1. % OF POTENTIALLY AVERTABLE DEATHS: 46.6 VS BALTIMORE RATE OF 36.2 2. TEEN BIRTH RATE PER 1,000: 26.8 VS BALTIMORE RATE OF 21.5 3. LOW BIRTH WEIGHT: 12.0% VS BALTIMORE RATE OF 11.7% AS SHOWN BY THESE SELECT INDICATORS, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH STATUS DISPARITY BETWEEN MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA (CBSA) AND BALTIMORE CITY'S RESIDENTS. DUE TO ITS LOCATION IN CENTER CITY, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER CARES FOR MANY OF THE AT-RISK, LOW INCOME POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT IMMEDIATELY SURROUND THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS BEST EVIDENCED BY THE LARGE PERCENTAGE OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS BY THE MEDICAID, UNINSURED AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. MEDICAID COVERED AND UNINSURED PATIENTS ACCOUNTED FOR MORE THAN 54.8% OF THE FY25 EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS. THERE ARE A COUPLE NOTABLE REASONS FOR SUCH A HIGH MEDICAID AND UNINSURED PATIENT POPULATION VISITING THE EMERGENCY ROOM: 1. BALTIMORE CITY'S LARGEST HOMELESS SHELTER AT GUILFORD AVENUE IS WITHIN THREE BLOCKS OF THE HOSPITAL. 2. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES ALL OF THE MEDICAL STAFF (PHYSICIANS AND NURSING PERSONNEL) FOR HEALTHCARE FOR THE HOMELESS (HCH), A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, WHICH DELIVERS OUTPATIENT CARE TO A LARGE NUMBER OF HOMELESS PERSONS IN BALTIMORE CITY. THE HCH CLINIC IS LOCATED THREE BLOCKS FROM THE HOSPITAL. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health | MERCY FAMILY VIOLENCE RESPONSE PROGRAM THE MERCY FAMILY VIOLENCE RESPONSE PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY STAFF TASK FORCE AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER TO PROVIDE CRISIS INTERVENTION AND SAFETY PLANNING FOR VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE, ELDER AND VULNERABLE ADULT ABUSE) AND SEXUAL ASSAULT WHO COME TO MERCY MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS PHYSICIANS FOR TREATMENT. THIS PROGRAM IMPROVES BALTIMORE'S COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE, AND CREATES AN ALERT WORKFORCE AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER, SKILLED AT IDENTIFYING AND RESPONDING TO VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE. DUE TO ITS LOCATION WITHIN THREE BLOCKS OF THE CITY'S LARGEST HOMELSS SHELTER AT GUILFORD AVENUE AND CLOSE PROXIMITY TO HCH, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S ER RECEIVES MANY VISITS FROM HOMELESS PERSONS. WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN PROVIDING EMERGENCY AND URGENT CARE TO POOR AND HOMELESS POPULATIONS, THE HOSPITAL HAS ESTABLISHED KEY SERVICES FOR THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: A FULL TIME SOCIAL WORKER IS A PART OF THE ER TEAM TO COORDINATE CARE AND OTHER SERVICES FOR HOMELESS PATIENTS WHO ARRIVE AT THE ER. ER PHYSICIANS AND NURSES MAKE VISITS TO BALTIMORE CITY SHELTERS TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: 1. ADMINISTRATION OF FLU VACCINATIONS TO RESIDENTS 2. PRESENTATIONS ON PARASITES AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE 3. INFECTIOUS DISEASE PREVENTION THE FORENSIC NURSE EXAMINER PROGRAM (FNE) IS HOUSED AT THE HOSPITAL'S ER AND PROVIDES 24/7 CARE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL, DOMESTIC, CHILD, ELDER AND INSTITUTIONAL VIOLENCE. FORENSIC NURSES PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE FORENSIC MEDICAL INTERVIEWS, MEDICAL ASSESSMENTS, EVIDENCE COLLECTION, AND ASSURE CRISIS INTERVENTION TO AN EVER INCREASING VOLUME OF UNDERSERVED PATIENTS. DURING FY 2025, THE FNE PROGRAM CONDUCTED 423 EXAMINATIONS AND IS THE DESIGNATED SITE FOR PATIENTS IN BALTIMORE CITY. LOW BIRTH WEIGHT PROGRAM - DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS MERCY MEDICAL CENTER DELIVERED 2,745 BABIES IN BALTIMORE CITY IN FY 2025. LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AND PREMATURITY ARE INTERTWINED AND CORRELATED. AS CITED IN QUESTION #2, LOW BIRTH WEIGHT IS A KEY HEALTH STATUS INDICATOR THAT IS MEASURED AND TRACKED BY BALTIMORE CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH THAT MUST BE DECREASED IN INCIDENCE. THE HOSPITAL HAS TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE THROUGH ITS ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN "B'MORE FOR HEALTHLY BABIES", A LONG TERM INITIATIVE LED BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND MANAGED BY BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO REDUCE THE INCIDENTS OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. DR ROBERT ATLAS, CHAIRMAN OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, HAS A LEADERSHIP ROLE WITHIN THIS WORKGROUP. THE GOALS OF "B'MORE FOR HEALTHY BABIES" ARE REDUCTION IN THE FOLLOWING: 1. RATE OF PRE-TERM BIRTHS BY AT LEAST 10% 2. RATE OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS BY AT LEAST 10% 3. THE NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM UNSAFE SLEEP BY AT LEAST 10% OF NOTE 67.0% OF THE BABIES CARED FOR IN MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT WERE EITHER MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES OR UNINSURED/SELF PAY. THIS POPULATION IS ESPECIALLY LINKED WITH LOW BIRTH RATE AND PREMATURITY DUE TO POVERTY THAT CLOSELY RELATES TO UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLES, PARTICULARLY POOR NUTRITION AND INADEQUATE PRENATAL CARE. IN ORDER TO ENSURE 24/7 COVERAGE FOR ITS OBSTETRICAL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDED $1,074,563 IN PHYSICIAN SUBSIDY FOR THIS SPECIALTY. DETERMINING THE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY TO BE ADDRESSED SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING TO HSCRC, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER HAS CONSISTENTLY RANKED AMOUNG THE TOP QUARTILE OF HOSPITALS IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND IN TERMS OF THE PERCENTAGE OF OPERATING EXPENSE DEVOTED TO COMMUNITY NEEDS PROGRAMS. ACCESS TO CARE FOR AT-RISK, UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS HAS LONG BEEN A CORNERSTONE MISSION FOR MERCY MEDICAL CENTER. MAJOR PROGRAMS TO SERVE THIS NEED INCLUDE OUR FUNDING OF DIRECT PHYSICIAN CHARITY CARE ACROSS ALL SPECIALTIES AND THE PHARMACY CHARITY FUND TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED AND UNABLE TO PAY. IN ADDITION, MERCY PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED SUPPORT TO ADULT AND PEDIATRIC PHYSICIAN OFFICES LOCATED ON THE MERCY CAMPUS THAT PROVIDES COST EFFICIENT AND ACCESSIBLE HELATH CARE REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE STATUS AND ARRANGES FOR SLIDING SCALE FEES TO ASSIST THE UNINSURED WITH PHYSICIAN AND OTHER EXPENSES. BASED UPON PRIOR NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER IDENTIFIED THREE KEY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR "MISSION DRIVEN HEALTH SERVICES" IN FY 2025: THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS: HOMELESSNESS: THE NEED TO RESPOND TO AND ACTIVELY SUPPORT THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL NEEDS OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE THE HOMELESS POPULATION OF BALTIMORE. EMERGENCY SERVICES: AS PROVIDED THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, GIVEN THE LARGE PERCENTAGE OF POOR AND UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO ACCESS THIS SERVICE. LOW BIRTH WEIGHT: MERCY MEDICAL CENTER DELIVERS MORE BABIES TO WOMEN AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LINE THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN BALTIMORE. A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE (>10%) OF THESE BIRTHS ARE PREMATURE AND OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE INTERTWINED AS THEY SHARE A COMMON THREAD IN THAT ALL UNDERSERVED AND POOR POPULATIONS OF BALTIMORE ARE THE PRIMARY RECIPIENTS OF MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY MERCY MEDICAL CENTER ON AND OFF ITS CAMPUS. HOMELESSNESS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAS GROWN STEADILY OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS IN BALTIMORE AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NATION. THIS NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO RISE GIVEN THE DETERIORATING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY THAT CAUSE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, LOSS OF HOMES, REDUCED FEDERAL ASSISTANCE TO MEDICAID AND OTHER SAFETY NET PROGRAMS. BALTIMORE'S HOMELESS POPULATION EXTENDS GREATLY BEYOND THOSE WHO CAN FIND BEDS IN CITY AND OTHER NONPROFIT RUN SHELTERS. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE HOMELESS POPULATION THROUGH THREE AREAS. HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS (HCH) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1985 AND PROVIDES ADULT, PEDIATRIC, AND GERIATRIC MEDICAL CARE, DENTAL CARE, MENTAL HEALTH, HIV SERVICES, SOCIAL WORK AND CASE MANAGEMENT, ADDICTION TREATMENT, OUTREACH, PRISON RE-ENTRY, SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, AND ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1985, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER HAS DIRECTLY EMPLOYED AND PROVIDED ALL OF THE PHYSICIAN AND NURSING STAFF TO HCH FOR MEDICAL SERVICES. WHILE THE HOSPITAL IS REIMBURSED FOR THE DIRECT COSTS OF ITS EMPLOYED CLINICIANS BY HCH, INDIRECT AND OTHER COSTS CONTRIBUTED TO HCH WERE $6,900 IN FY 2025. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER, THROUGH ITS SOLE MEMBER, MHS, IS GOVERNED BY A COMMUNITY BOARD COMPRISED OF CIVIC LEADERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO AND REPRESENT THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER EXTENDS MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS FOR ALL OF ITS DEPARTMENTS. ALL FINANCIAL SURPLUSES MERCY MEDICAL CENTER GENERATES ARE USED EXCLUSIVELY TO FURTHER THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION. COMMUNITY BOARD COMPRISED OF CIVIC LEADERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO AND REPRESENT THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. |
