WPAHS, Inc. Inclusion In The Consolidated Audit of WPAHS Form 990, Schedule D, Part X Question 2, Part XII and XIII West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. does not receive its own independent audit. It is a member of a regional healthcare system named West Penn Allegheny Health System. West Penn Allegheny Health System receives a consolidated audit that includes the operations of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. The following analysis represents the reconciliation between the financial statement net income and the net income as reported on Form 990, Page 1, line 19: Net income per financial statements $109,780,880 Plus: Income and expense reclassified from restricted net assets on the financial statements to unrestricted income and expense on Form 990 2,492,141 Plus: Unrealized Loss reflected in unrestricted income on the financial statements and reclassified to net assets on Form 990 5,610,825 ___________ Net income per Form 990 $117,883,846 The following is the footnote to the audited consolidated financial statements of the West Penn Allegheny Health System for FASB ASC 740: WPAHS adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a more-likely than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. Under FASB ASC 740, tax positions will be evaluated for recognition, derecognition, and measurement using consistent criteria and will provide more information about the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabilities. Based on an analysis prepared by WPAHS, it was determined that the application of FASB ASC 740 had no material effect on the recorded assets and liabilities of WPAHS.

Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
Bad Debt Expense Financial Statement Footnote and Costing Methodology Schedule H, Part III, Question 4 West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. does not issue separate audited financial statements and therefore a footnote does not exist. Bad debt expense is accounted for on a charge basis in our internal financial statements. A cost to charge ratio is applied to the internal figures to convert the charge to cost. It is the opinion of West Penn Allegheny Health System management that because patients are often reluctant to complete the required charity care paperwork that an unquantifiable amount of charity care results in bad debt. Thus, it is our opinion that bad debt expense can be considered a justifiable componet of uncompensated care.
Medicare Costing Methodology Schedule H, Part III, Question 8 The source used to determine the amount reported on Line 6 is the medicare cost report.
Collection Practices For Patients Who Qualify For Financial Assistance Schedule H, Part III, Question 9b Patients that qualify for charity care or financial assistance are provided with an approval letter with the effective dates for the assistance. At any time the individual presents for services within a 90 day span of approval, they show the letter and will be registered as a charity care case. Charity care cases are designated in the internal computerized systems with unique plan codes that prevent billing to the patient. Reports are run to capture the patient accounts registered with the charity care plan codes so they can be written off to charity care.
Charges For Medical Care Schedule H, Part V, Line 19 West Penn Allegheny Health System offers uninsured patients a fifty percent (50%) discount on total gross charges to all hospital charges. The intent of the discount is to standardize charging practices for covered and non covered patients. The discount is offered during patient contact for elective/ urgent (non cosmetic) procedures during the financial counseling process, as well as during the patient statement cycle process for services provided (including Emergency services.) Patient statements are clearly marked with the uninsured discount, reducing the 'amount owed' of the gross charges. An uninsured discount of 50% is applied to the patient account either at the time of payment or prior to transferring the account to bad debt upon conclusion of the routine four statement cycle, for any unpaid balances. This methodology is applied consistently among the three Hospitals of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc.
Charges Equal To Gross Charges For Patient Services Schedule H, Part V, Line 21 West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. offers cosmetic procedures. Each facility offers a variety of procedures. For elective/non medically emergent procedures not covered by health plans, individual fee schedules are published and communicated prior to services. Patients are contacted in advance of the procedure by financial counselors and are required to pay for services in full based on the fee schedule. The patient is required to pay the hospital fee schedule for the technical component and the physician for the professional services rendered. This methodology is applied consistently among the three Hospitals of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc.
Health Needs Assessment Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. management and staff utilize multiple strategies to continually monitor and assess the health care needs of the communities it serves. One approach to assessing needs involves surveying community members about health needs related to national and state health goals. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. also acts on expressed community needs by responding to direct community requests for health screenings, outreach events and other health-related activities and by maintaining longstanding programs that are well attended and positively evaluated by community participants. In addition, West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. gathers community input through participation in area rotaries, chambers of commerce, through partnerships with community organizations and other community engagement activities. Another means is through reviewing and taking appropriate actions on feedback gathered from the following sources: routine market assessments; patient and family satisfaction surveys; Press Ganey surveys; patient, patient family and staffs' suggestions for improving patient safety; medical staff input and physician surveys. In addition to the ongoing community health monitoring and assessment, West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is actively working towards a formal community health needs assessment for each Hospital that will be completed in Fiscal 2013.
Patient Education For Eligibility For Assistance Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Each West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. Hospital displays signage in various patient Admission, Registration and Emergency Department areas that alerts that patient to Account Assistance program availability and contact information. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. offers the "Account Assistance Program" which consists of application assistance for governmental eligibility, Charity Care application completion and submission support, as well as uninsured provisions. Account Assistance summaries are available on the West Penn Allegheny Health system website www.wpahs.org under the link titled Care for Uninsured are available to the public. The Charity Care application, as well as, a Medical Assistance check list is available for patients who wish to self-apply. In addition to the documents, toll free telephone numbers regarding Account Assistance, charity and/or other financial inquiries are available. The website also contains a copy of the brochure that summarizes the Account Assistance program, as well as provides various governmental and internal numbers to patients seeking additional support. Each Hospital also provides on-site support through Financial Counselor staff who are available to work with patient walk in's. Financial Counselors work directly with the patients as well as designated agency support regarding qualifying patients for Medical Assistance. Both week day and weekend coverage is available to the patient, as well as field support needed for post discharge follow up needed for application submission. The above support is available at no charge to the patient.
Community Served Information Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. consists of three Hospital Campus locations. Two campus locations are in the City of Pittsburgh, located in the North Side and Bloomfield and the third location is in the Municipality of Monroeville. Collectively, we provide health care services to the residents of Pittsburgh and Monroeville.

Allegheny County consists of approximately 1,224,000 residents living in a land area of approximately 730 square miles. The median housing value in Allegheny County is $115,200.
Promotion of Community Health Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. promotes the health of the communities we service through the provision of a 24 hour emergency department located at every hospital available 7 days a week for everyone regardless of their ability to pay. Allegheny General Hospital's lifeflight provides regional emergency helicopter and critical care ground transportation services for critically ill and injured individuals who need immediate specialized care. Lifeflight is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation has designated Allegheny General Hospital as a Level I regional resource trauma center. The Trauma center has capabilities in patient care, research and education of future medical professions. A trauma surgeon is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond to patient needs. We specialize in many forms of highly skilled and technical medical treatment. These services are necessary to advance the healthcare of the communities we serve, therefore we undertake and subsidize the services with the understanding that they will result in a financial loss. The Board of Directors of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is comprised of a majority of independent community members. Further, we apply all surplus funds into the advancement of healthcare for the communities we serve.

Subsequent Event - Proposed Affiliation Form 990 - General Information West Penn Allegheny Health System, of which West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is an affiliate, is pursuing a formal corporate affiliation with UPE, a recently formed tax-exempt organization, and Highmark Inc., a non-profit corporation with substantial health insurance operations throughout Western Pennsylvania. UPE has made filings with the applicable regulatory authorities to acquire control of Highmark. Following the anticipated affiliation, UPE also will assume control of West Penn Allegheny Health System. West Penn Allegheny Health System approved the affiliation in 2011 in order to restore financial viability to the System and ensure its long term survival as a provider of quality healthcare services to the communities it has served for several generations. Among other advantages to the transaction, the affiliation will create a regional integrated health care services delivery and financing system that will better position West Penn Allegheny Health System given the competitive pressures in the Western Pennsylvania market. An affiliation agreement was signed by the parties in October, 2011. As of the date of this filing the regulatory agencies that must approve the transaction have either given their approval or are in the process of undertaking their review. We are optimistic that all approvals will be granted by the end of the 2012 calendar year and possibly sooner.
Statement of Program Service Accomplishments Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4a INTRODUCTION TO WEST PENN ALLEGHENY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. (WPAHS, Inc.) is part of the West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS). Organized in 2000, WPAHS (www.wpahs.org) is comprised of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. (WPAHS, Inc.), Alle-Kiski Medical Center (AKMC), Canonsburg General Hospital (CGH), Allegheny Medical Practice Network (AMPN), Allegheny Specialty Practice Network (ASPN), Allegheny-Singer Research Institute (ASRI), West Penn Physician Practice Network (WPPPN), West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network (WPAON) Canonsburg General Hospital Ambulance Service, Inc. (CGH Ambulance), Alle-Kiski Medical Center Trust (AKMC Trust), Forbes Health Foundation (FHF) and The Western Pennsylvania Hospital Foundation (WPHF). This affiliation ensures that WPAHS, Inc. area residents have access to a complete continuum of health care services. Through appropriate integration across the System both clinically and operationally, our Hospitals are able to remain a high quality, low-cost provider with linkages to the latest medical research and advanced technology. WPAHS, Inc. was created on January 1, 2008 as a result of the merger of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc., EIN: 25-1848306 and Allegheny General Hospital, EIN: 25-1322626 with and into The Western Pennsylvania Hospital, EIN: 25-0969492. Immediately following the merger the Western Pennsylvania Hospital changed its name to West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. consists of the following three hospital campuses: Allegheny General Hospital (WPAHS, Inc. - AGH), The Western Pennsylvania Hospital - Forbes Regional Campus (WPAHS, Inc. - FRH) and the Western Pennsylvania Hospital (WPAHS, Inc. - WPH). Because each hospital does numerous charitable activities for the communities we serve, we feel best served by presenting the Statement of Program Service Accomplishments for each hospital separately. In total, we will present the Statement of Program Service Accomplishments for WPAHS, Inc. - AGH, WPAHS, Inc. - WPH and WPAHS, Inc. - FRH. PURPOSE AND MISSION West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is an organization defined by our talented people. We are an organization committed to excellence; an organization with one purpose and one mission. Our purpose is to improve the health of the people in the Western Pennsylvania region. Our mission is to practice medicine, educate and conduct research as an integrated team of physicians, nurses and support professionals who are committed to improving the health of our patients. SUPPORT OF RESEARCH The Hospitals of WPAHS, Inc., through its research arm, an affiliated organization named Allegheny Singer Research Institute (ASRI), EIN: 25-1320493, are extremely dedicated to providing financial support in medical research activities. Approximately $6,336,000 was underwritten by WPAHS, Inc. and ASRI in Fiscal 2011 in support of research and education. ASRI has a distinguished history of pioneering biomedical research, and its accomplishments are described in greater detail in the filing of its own Statement of Program Service Accomplishments. SUPPORT OF EDUCATION The hospitals of WPAHS, Inc., are extremely dedicated to providing financial support for the education of healthcare professionals. During Fiscal 2011, approximately $36,960,000 was underwritten by WPAHS, Inc. in support of education. Among the activities supported were the training of medical interns and residents, the operation of two nursing schools and training programs for students enrolled in the schools of respiratory, radiology and pharmacy. WPAHS, Inc. also upholds an affiliation with both Temple University and the Drexel University College of Medicine in an effort to ensure the solid education of our healthcare professionals of the future. UNCOMPENSATED CARE To enhance the health status of the community in which it operates and consistent with its tax-exempt status, WPAHS, Inc. provides needed health care services to individuals regardless of their ability to pay for all or part of the services rendered. These services include both inpatient and outpatient services as well as an emergency room that is available 24 hours a day. Consistent with the filing of Schedule H, the components of uncompensated care include charity care at cost and unreimbursed Medicaid. WPAHS, Inc. provided uncompensated care at an approximate cost of $25,345,000 in Fiscal 2011. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES Subsidized health services represent those programs provided to the community by WPAHS, Inc. despite the fact the Hospitals incur a financial loss to do so. WPAHS, Inc. recognizes the need of its community and voluntarily subsidizes these programs in support of its charitable mission.

Investment of Tax Exempt Bond Proceeds Beyond a Temporary Period Exception Form 990, Page 4, Part IV, Line 24b On June 19, 2007, the System's Series 2007 Project Fund was funded with proceeds from a tax-exempt bond issue. The President and Chief Executive Officer of the System resigned shortly thereafter. Since that time, the System has employed three different individuals as President and Chief Executive Officer. Because of this turnover in the leadership of the System there was a delay in the capital spending until each new President and Chief Executive Officer began to implement the capital spending which he or she deemed to be necessary. This delay caused the Series 2007 Project Fund to be spent down in a time period extending beyond the temporary period exception. We anticipate these proceeds to be spent by the end of calendar year 2012. It should be noted that the System timely completes arbitrage calculations on all tax-exempt borrowings. The first calculation was performed for the Series 2007 Project Fund in November 2011. This calculation did not produce any positive arbitrage based on the yield on investments in the Series 2007 Project Fund.
Form 990 Review Process Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Section B, Line 11a Form 990 is prepared internally by an employee of the West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. (Health System) Tax Department who is a certified public accountant. The document is then reviewed internally by top management officials of the Health System. A detailed external review is conducted by Health System external tax advisors, who sign the return as preparer. The Chair of the organization's Board of Directors, or another Board Member otherwise designated by the Chair, along with members of the Audit and Compliance committee of the Health System Board review the Form 990 and recommend changes or accept the document as presented. A copy of the Form 990 is made available to every board member for review prior to filing the document with the Internal Revenue Service.
Monitoring and Enforcement of the Conflict of Interest Policy Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is a member of the West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS). WPAHS has a corporate compliance department that monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy of all organizations in the health system. The following describes the manner in which the corporate compliance department monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy for West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. as well as the other WPAHS affiliates: Conflict of Interest disclosure forms are completed on an annual basis by all board members, officers, employees who have a title of Manager and above, physicians in leadership roles, Pharmacy and Therapeutic Committee members, all employees of the System's Compliance and Internal Audit Departments as well as personnel involved with contracting in the Corporate Purchasing Department. Upon completion of the above disclosure statement by all applicable individuals, a report is generated listing all individuals that have reported a conflict. The System Compliance Officer and General Counsel review the conflicts disclosed. Those that require additional information or clarification receive a letter from the Compliance Officer requesting such. Once received, all additional information is added to the report and again reviewed by the Compliance Officer and General Counsel. Those conflicts that require a mitigation plan are sent to the respective organization's senior management for development of the mitigation plan. The organization's senior management is responsible to discuss the mitigation plan with the individual as needed and monitor compliance with the mitigation plan. Once mitigation is received, a final report is reviewed with the System Compliance Executive Committee and finally the Audit & Compliance Committee of the Board. In addition, all WPAHS board members, officers and key employees complete an annual independence disclosure statement which assists the System's Compliance Officer and Internal Audit Department to determine and monitor the levels of independence in each of the System's tax exempt affiliates as well as to determine the level of Form 990, Schedule L reporting.
Process Used To Determine Executive Compensation Form 990, Page 6, Part XI, Section B, Line 15b The West Penn Allegheny Health System process for determining compensation for executive positions (including officers, key employees and other management positions) within West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. (WPAHS) and its affiliates is covered by the WPAHS Executive Compensation Policy. This policy was approved by the WPAHS Board of Directors. It is the policy of WPAHS and its Board of Directors to compensate its executives in accordance with the market and in relation to the experience, service and accomplishments of the individual both prior to and during their service with WPAHS. The Compensation Committee of the WPAHS Board of Directors approves the compensation for WPAHS senior executives. The Compensation Committee approves the initial compensation for newly hired senior executives, which includes all compensation components, including without limitation, base compensation, incentive compensation, deferred compensation, fringe and other benefits, as well as the total compensation. It also approves all base compensation adjustments and all incentive compensation awards, as well as material changes to deferred compensation, fringe, or other benefits. The Compensation Committee uses comparability data provided by the System Human Resources Department, which may include industry surveys, expert compensation studies, documented compensation of persons holding similar positions, or other comparable data in approving any executive compensation. The Compensation Committee periodically retains the services of an independent compensation consultant to provide an expert opinion report as to the reasonableness of total compensation of WPAHS and its affiliates officers and key employees. Each Compensation Committee member voting on a senior executive's compensation arrangement ensures that he or she has no conflict of interest, including that he or she (a) does not economically benefit from the proposed employment; (b) does not receive compensation subject to the approval of the proposed employee; and (c) has no material financial interest affected by the transaction. The Compensation Committee consists of five independent Board Members of WPAHS. All decisions of the Compensation Committee regarding executive compensation matters are documented.

Officer, Director and Key Employee Hour Allocation Form 990, Page 7, Part VII, Section A, Column B West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. allocates hours to officers, directors and key employees employed by West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. or a related organization on the basis of a 40 hour work week. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is a member of an integrated healthcare delivery system consisting of 13 different organizations. Many individuals are Health System executives who serve prominent roles on various organizations. Every employed individual who serves as an officer, director or key employee of any related organization as well as West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. will be allocated time served out of the 40 hour work week for each separate related organization. Thus, the cumulative total for each individual spread out between West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. and the 12 related organizations will equal 40 hours. Directors of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. serving on a volunteer basis are allocated one hour of service per week to West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. If the director also volunteers time to one of the 12 related organizations in the capacity of a director for that related organization, one hour per week is reflected as devoted to each related organization served. The time and efforts of the volunteer directors of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. may vary upon the needs of the organization. The one hour per week reported in Part VII is an estimate of the average time spent per week by the West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. volunteer directors when viewed on an annual basis.
