Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
    Part I, Line 3c: Hospital Services for uninsured patients automatically qualify for a 45% discount in 2010, regardless of the patient's financial status.
    Part I, Line 6a: The community benefit report prepared by Ochsner Clinic Foundation is representative of the entire health system, including Ochsner Community Hospitals. The amounts reported in Schedule H are those amounts that are either directly incurred by Ochsner Community Hospitals or those that have been allocated to Ochsner Community Hospitals as a reimbursement to another organization.
    Part I, Line 7: For charity care at cost, the ratio of total patient care cost to total charges from Schedule C of the Medicare cost reports for each hospital was applied to that hospital's total charity care charges.
    Part I, Line 7, Column (f): 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 $ 17101376.
    Part II: Ochsner endeavors to promote the health of the communities of the hospitals in the system via community building activities. Ochsner Community Hospitals' community building activities promote the health of the communities the organization serves by targeting youth organizations. Ochsner partners with the Junior League of New Orleans, whose purpose includes Children's Wellbeing and Education and Healthy Families. Ochsner also partners with Junior Achievement, which educates young people about economics, business and financial literacy. This will allow them to develop into successful adults, teach them to educate themselves about their circumstances (including their health), and may lead them to join the healthcare workforce.
    Part III, Line 4: Any discounts provided or payments made to a particular patient account are applied to that patient account prior to any bad debt write-off and are thus, not included in bad debt expense. The provision for uncollectible accounts is based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering historical business and economic conditions, trends in health care coverages, and other collection indicators. Periodically, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category. The results of this review are then used to make modifications to the provision for uncollectible receivables. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance, the System follows established guidelines for placing certain past due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by the system.Bad debt expense at cost is calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges to the bad debt expense calculated using the above methodology.
    Part III, Line 8: Medicare shortfall is not considered community benefit.Total revenue from Medicare has been taken from the E Series in the Medicare Cost Reports. They do not include Medicare Advantage or payments related to Education or Research, in compliance with the instructions. Medicare Allowable Costs were aggregated from the fiscal year cost reports for all hospitals. Worksheet D under Title XVIII line 104 in column 9.01 was used for outpatient costs and Worksheet D-1 under Title XVIII Line 49 was used for inpatient costs.The cost reports used for this schedule were the cost reports for Fiscal Year 2010. The cost report for Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner (Provider No. 19-0274) covers the period 5/1/2010 - 4/30/2011. The cost report for Ochsner Baptist Medical Center (Provider No. 19-0135) covers the period 6/1/2009 - 5/31/2010.
    Part III, Line 9b: The Guarantor's Collection Process policy states that if a patient cannot pay the remaining balance in full, the collector is to utilize the payment arrangement guidelines in the charity care policy and/or the Payment Guidelines policy.
    Part VI, Line 2: Ochsner serves the needs of the community through its commitment is to exemplary patient care, medical research and education. Ochsner Community Hospitals is part of Ochsner Health System, which comprises a total of eight hospitals (including two satellite locations) and approximately 40 health centers, when Ochsner Community Hospitals and Ochsner Clinic Foundation (an affiliated 501(c)(3) corporation) are combined. In order to identify the needs of the community, Ochsner reviews local and state publicly available data regarding the health status and issues in our region. Ochsner works with community organizations that collect information on their areas of focus to identify trends and areas where we have expertise that can make an impact. Ochsner collaborate with multiple community stakeholders to identify specific community needs in our regions. Ochsner then reviews these needs and determines where it can best use its resources and expertise to affect those needs. One of Ochsner's main focuses is to develop partnerships to address root causes of issues.One example of this process is a school based health clinic with Jefferson parish schools. Based on the demographics for the students in the public school system, it was identified that a school based clinic was needed at Bonnabel High School in Kenner. Ochsner is the medical partner for the facility (the Bonnabel site opened in 2008).
    Part VI, Line 3: Ochsner partners with The Outsource Group for Medicaid enrollment. The Outsource Group have representatives on site at each of the hospitals. Ochsner provides to the representatives daily reports of all uninsured in observation, inpatient, outpatient, emergency room and clinic status. The representatives visit with each patient and screen each patient to determine whether or not each patient meets the minimum requirements to qualify for Medicaid. If the minimum requirements are met, additional information is obtained from the patient to file a Medicaid application. If the minimum requirements are not met, the screening form is referred to a financial counselor to discuss payment options and assist the patient with the completion of a financial assistance application to determine if the patient qualifies for any other assistance programs including charity care. Internal customer service departments and external partners including collection agencies provide patients with financial assistance applications if patients express concerns about the inability to payoutstanding balances. Beginning in 2011, Ochsner will be placing signs in all facilities with respect to charity care along with brochures and the charity care policy will be included in every patient statement. Ochsner also offers no interest payment plan options with payment terms ranging from six to 60 months.
    Part VI, Line 4: Ochsner Community Hospitals has two multi-specialty hospitals that serve the New Orleans metropolitan area. Therefore, the patients are going to vary in age, gender, race. The population of the New Orleans region was estimated at approximately 983,000 in 2010. The New Orleans metropolitan has approximately 242,000 uninsured individuals. Overall, the state of Louisiana has the sixth highest poverty level in the nation as of 2009 estimates with a poverty level of 18.0%.Ochsner Baptist Medical Center, formerly Baptist Hospital, has a deep-rooted history in Uptown New Orleans. The population of New Orleans was estimated at approximately 357,000 in 2010. With the additions made recently, including an emergency room, an expanded ICU, and additional patient beds, Ochsner Baptist is capable of handling virtually all medical and surgical cases, with the exception of trauma, obstetrics, and open-heart and neurological surgery. Estimates for 2009 place the Orleans Parish poverty level at approximately 23.9%.Ochsner Medical Center-Kenner is an acute care community hospital located in Kenner, Louisiana. Kenner is located on the East bank of Jefferson Parish, which had an estimated population of 444,000 in 2010. Approximately 55.3% of the population of Jefferson Parish lives on the East bank (roughly north of the Mississippi River as it runs through the region). Ochsner Medical Center-Kenner encompasses most all of the services that a patient may need, including a renovated 15 bed Level II Emergency Room. Estimates for 2009 place the Jefferson Parish poverty level at approximately 13.7%.
    Part VI, Line 6: Having a diverse representation of the community in each of our community hospital governing boards is an important part of making sure all aspects of the community we serve are being touched by the mission and vision of our organization. While Ochsner Community Hospitals is governed by a board comprised of a majority of independent community directors, each community hospital is managed by a Governing Board that has anywhere from 10 to 19 Directors. The Chief Executive Officer of the hospital serves on the Board by virtue of his or her office; however, a majority of Board members are prominent multi-disciplinary business and community leaders. Their role is primarily to ensure that quality and credentialing of providers is performed in accordance with expectations and within State and Federal laws and regulations. The Chair of each Governing Board is a member of the Chairman's Council of the Ochsner Health System Board of Directors, an informal gathering of each Chair to discuss common themes and challenges in the communities surrounding the hospitals and how each can leverage from the other to meet the needs of the community as a whole.Both Ochsner Medical Center-Kenner, LLC and Ochsner Baptist Medical Center, LLC, disregarded entities of Ochsner Community Hospitals as the sole member, have open medical staff models, continuing the arrangement that has been in place since these two hospitals were acquired in September 2006.To help further promote the health of the community, Ochsner created the Choose Healthy initiative with a local grocery store chain which serves the same geographical region to educate shoppers. Ochsner nutritionists have identified over 500 items in the stores that meet healthy choice standards and these are marked with shelf talkers for easy identification on the aisles. The Choose Healthy initiative offers healthy cooking demonstrations, health screenings, educational classes in the stores at no charge. There is also a website which offers shopping lists, recipes, healthy living tips and videos. All of this is available to the general public at no charge.Ochsner Health System announced a tobacco free initiative in 2010 in which all of its campuses and clinic locations would be tobacco free by mid-2011. Use of all tobacco products is prohibited for all employees, patients and visitors at any Ochsner location. As a healthcare organization, Ochsner is leading by example. Ochsner Health System conducted a mental health survey on residents of areas affected by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010. The survey results brought attention to the need for mental health assistance for the communities that Ochsner serves.In addition to providing quality medical care to patients who visit Ochsner's hospitals and clinics, Ochsner has embraced the concept that good health doesn't begin at the doctor's office, it begins where you live, learn, work and play. Programs have been developed to promote health in our communities through education and provision of healthcare services. Some significant activities are listed below:Ochsner provides community health fairs in all its regions by organizing our own fairs and by providing staff for events being offered by other organizations. Ochsner also hosts educational forums about specific health related topics through our Hello Health programs. These are held in the community as well as on WLAE TV, a public television station in New Orleans. Ochsner staff members have also attended numerous community group meetings in order to provide health education information.Ochsner provides education and support to the Jefferson parish public school system in nutrition and physical fitness to address the childhood obesity epidemic in LA, which is ranked the 5th worst state in the nation for childhood obesity. Ochsner delivers a newsletter which highlights healthy habits to the families of 11,000 elementary school students in the fourth and fifth grades which highlights healthy habits.Ochsner sponsors and participates in multiple programs that address community economic and workforce development for the greater good. These activities support the community by offering Ochsner's expertise and resources, including sponsoring fund raising events of community organizations, and providing financial support for scholarship programs.Ochsner provides support to numerous schools, both public and parochial, throughout Southeast Louisiana, including three "adopted" schools in the New Orleans/Jefferson Parish area. In addition, Ochsner has developed a dedicated student/outreach lab as an additional resource or training lab for schools in our community.
    Part VI, Line 7: Ochsner Health System is the supporting organization to Ochsner Clinic Foundation and Ochsner Community Hospitals. While each of the eight hospitals within the System promote the health within the separate geographical communities that they service, many overall community health initiatives are coordinated by Ochsner Health System which is then reimbursed by the respective entities.
  Part VI, Line 7: The organization does not file a community benefit report with any state.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
  Part I, Line 4b Patrick Quinlan, M.D., Chief Executive Officer; Warner Thomas, President & Chief Operating Officer; Scott Posecai, Chief Financial Officer; and Bobby Brannon, Executive Vice President and Treasurer participate in a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) which is part of the terms and conditions of their employment contracts with Ochsner Health System and Ochsner Clinic Foundation and is based on a targeted replacement of a set percentage of their salary at age 65. The SERP is classified as a Supplemental Non-Qualified Retirement Plan. This benefit is funded in a Trust Account with Capital One Bank. The increases in actuarial value during 2010 were $129,135; $0; $18,166; and $0; respectively. Joseph Bisordi, Chief Medical Officer, participates in a Non-Qualified supplemental plan which is part of the terms and conditions of his employment contract with Ochsner Health System. The retirement calculations is a defined amount as a percent of base pay, calculated annually, and is earned at age 65, as a single vesting period. This benefit is funded in a Trust Account with Capital One Bank.
  Part I, Line 6 The Physician and Executive Compensation Committee of the Ochsner Community Hospitals Board of Directors reviews and approves all officer executive incentive plans, which include those for the Officers; the CEO, President, CFO, Treasurer, Regional Medical Directors, and Executive Vice Presidents. For the 2009 incentive plan, which was paid in 2010, there were four weighted components: a System Financial Metric which consists of Operating Margin, a Quality and Patient Satisfaction Metric, a Human Capital Metric that consists of turnover and employee engagement survey results, and a Subjective metric based on their personal performance targets. The subjective metric is assigned for the CEO by the Physician and Executive Compensation Committee and assigned for the other executives by the CEO then reviewed by the Physician and Executive Compensation Committee. Metrics other than subjective are built on percent improvement year over year. The CEO and officers did meet annual targets as set by the terms and conditions of their employment contracts and therefore the compensation committee approved the payment of the Annual Incentive Plan which was recorded as part of their compensation in 2010. Annually, the officers of Ochsner Community Hospitals review and approve executive incentive plans for the executive and physician leadership group. The plans are developed similar to the officer incentive plans; they include four weighted components: a System Financial Metric which consists of Operating Margin, a Quality and Patient Satisfaction Metric, a Human Capital Metric that consists of turnover and employee engagement survey results, and a Subjective metric based on their personal performance targets. The subjective metric is assigned by the officer responsible for the executive or physician leader as their direct report and the CEO approves all bonuses for this group of management. All bonus amounts are provided in Schedule J Part II in Column B(ii).
  Part I, Line 7 Subjective components of incentive plan are described in description of Part I, Line 6.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1   1a: Of the Directors included in Part VII, all were Directors at the end of 2010 except for Mr. Oliver. Mr. Oliver resigned his position on the board of directors in October of 2010. 1b: The Articles of Incorporation provide that no action of the Board may be resolved unless a majority of the independent directors present approve the matter. Thus, even in situations where there is not an absolute majority of independent directors in office, those independent directors in office control Ochsner Health System's activities.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6   Ochsner Community Hospitals is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ochsner Health System, a related 501(c)(3) organization. Ochsner Community Hospitals is organized exclusively on a membership, non-stock basis. Ochsner Health System is the sole member of Ochsner Community Hospitals.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a   All directors, other than the Chief Executive Officer, shall be elected by the Member.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b   The Articles and Bylaws specify the following actions that require the affirmative vote or written consent of the Member: (1) Election of Directors other than the Chief Executive Officer (2) Amendment to the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (3) Corporate actions (4) Removal and replacement of any Director other than the Chief Executive Officer (5) Preparation or adherence to any capital or operating budget (6) Any expense, debt, or capital expenditure that exceeds the amount budgeted (7) Any action that is anticipated to reduce revenues below the amount budgeted (8) Any purchase or sale of any real property or encumbering any such property to secure a debt, if such action was not included in the budget (9) Guaranteeing the debt or obligation of any other person or entity (10) Beginning the practice of a health care service or specialty not previously engaged in by the Corporation if it was not included in the budget. (11) Causing or permitting the Coporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to form or become the controlling member of any business entity (12) Amendment of any organizational or governing documents of any subsidiary (13) Establishment of any committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11   One or more members of senior management reviews the return. The return is also reviewed by Deloitte Tax LLP, the company's tax advisors. The Audit and Oversight Committee, which is comprised of independent directors, is then provided the return prior to the filing date and given the opportunity to review and discuss the returns with management/staff. The meeting to review the 2010 return was held on October 31, 2011. A copy of the return is then provided to each member of the Board of Directors electronically and comments are solicited from the entire Board.
  Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Officers, directors, trustees, and key employees are required to complete a conflicts of interest disclosure form annually, within 30 days of becoming an employee, or within 10 days of a change in business circumstances not previously disclosed. The Vice President of Corporate Integrity reviews disclosures and determines whether action is necessary or if the disclosure needs to be reviewed by the Conflicts of Interest Committee. In addition, employees that do not fall within the scope of the Conflict of Interest Disclosure policy annually certify through the Annual Employee Evaluation process their compliance with the Conflict of Interest policy.
  Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 All CEO and officer compensation and benefits arrangements, including salary and bonus incentive plans, are reviewed and approved by the Executive and Senior Physician Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee). No substantive change to the compensation or benefits packages is made until Committee approval is granted in accordance with Intermediate Sanctions guidelines. The Compensation Committee is without conflicts of interest and uses an independent external consultant. Appropriate data is applied to determine the comparability of fair market value pay and all actions are appropriately documented. In order to meet the requirements of the IRS Intermediate Sanctions regulations, the Compensation Committee identified the "disqualified individuals" that are in a position to exercise substantial influence over the company's operations. These individuals are the members of the Executive Officers Committee (EOC), Regional Medical Directors, physician board members and Section Heads for key departments. For disqualified individuals, the compensation review also includes the cost of benefits such as the company portion of medical and dental benefits, malpractice insurance, payments for 401K matching and pension payments. A different review process is used for Physicians. Annually, the Corporate Integrity department reviews the salary of each employed physician. This review includes a comparison of physician salaries against national survey data for their specialty. Three surveys are used for the review: McGladrey & Pullen, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) and American Medical Group Association (AMGA). The Physician Compensation department provides salary data for each physician including base salary, stipends, on-call pay, etc. If it is determined that a physician's compensation is higher than the survey data, the total work Relative Value Units (RVUs) are compared to the survey data. This review is performed to ensure their pay is comparable to the work performed. Comparable benefit survey data is obtained periodically from McGladrey & Pullen. Compensation for other non-physician key employees is reviewed by senior executives who take market value research into consideration when determining compensation levels.
  Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 All governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon written request to the Corporate Integrity Department.
Joint Venture Process Part VI, Section B, 16b When the organization evaluates its participation in a joint venture, the transactions are handled carefully to ensure that the organization's tax-exempt status is intact with regard to the arrangement. The operations of the joint venture are carefully reviewed by management and legal counsel, and the transaction is not entered into unless it is a reflection of the organization's tax-exempt purpose. A clause is inserted into the joint venture agreement that the operations of the joint venture must be performed in a manner that will not jeopardize the organization's tax-exempt status.
Number of Board Members who are Independent Part VI, Section A, 1b The Articles of Incorporation provide that no action of the Board may be resolved unless a majority of the independent directors present approve the matter. Thus, even in situations where there is not an absolute majority of independent directors in office, those independent directors in office control Ochsner Community Hospitals' activities.
