    PART I, LINE 7: THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IS OWNED BY A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF WHICH GW IS A MINORITY LIMITED PARTNER. GW'S STATUS AS A LIMITED PARTNER PROVIDES IT WITH ACCESS TO THE HOSPITAL FACILITIES FOR ITS MEDICAL SCHOOL EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AS DESCRIBED IN MORE DETAIL LATER IN THIS SECTION. ALL NUMBERS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H REPRESENT ONLY THE UNIVERSITY'S 20% INTEREST IN THE PARTNERSHIP THAT OWNS THE HOSPITAL AND THESE AMOUNTS ARE A RELATIVELY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE UNIVERSITY'S OVERALL ACTIVITY. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE CHARITY CARE AMOUNTS ON SCHEDULE H ARE REPORTED AT COST AND DIFFER FROM THE AMOUNTS REPORTED AS UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN OTHER PUBLIC REPORTS THAT TAKE OTHER FACTORS INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN CALCULATING UNCOMPENSATED CARE. READERS SHOULD REFER TO THE HOSPITAL'S 2011 CARING AND COMMITMENT REPORT FOR DETAILED INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY IMPACT, INCLUDING UNCOMPENSATED CARE, EDUCATION, COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES, CLINICS AND SUPPORT TO UNINSURED PATIENTS.
    PART III, LINE 4: THIS FOOTNOTE IS FROM THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC (UHS). THE GW HOSPITAL IS OWNED AND OPERATED BY A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY AND A SUBSIDIARY OF UHS."COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS AND PATIENTS IS UHS' PRIMARY SOURCE OF CASH AND IS CRITICAL TO UHS' OPERATING PERFORMANCE. UHS' PRIMARY COLLECTION RISKS RELATE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS AND THE PORTION OF THE BILL WHICH IS THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY, PRIMARILY CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES. UHS ESTIMATES PROVISIONS FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED ON GENERAL FACTORS SUCH AS PAYER MIX, THE AGING OF THE RECEIVABLES AND HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE. UHS ROUTINELY REVIEWS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BALANCES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THESE FACTORS AND OTHER ECONOMIC CONDITIONS WHICH MIGHT ULTIMATELY AFFECT THE COLLECTABILITY OF THE PATIENT ACCOUNTS AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO ALLOWANCES AS WARRANTED. AT ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS, THIRD PARTY LIABILITY ACCOUNTS ARE PURSUED UNTIL ALL PAYMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS ARE POSTED TO THE PATIENT ACCOUNT. FOR THOSE ACCOUNTS WITH A PATIENT BALANCE AFTER THIRD PARTY LIABILITY IS FINALIZED OR ACCOUNTS FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, THE PATIENT IS SENT A SERIES OF STATEMENTS AND COLLECTION LETTERS. PATIENTS THAT EXPRESS AN INABILITY TO PAY ARE REVIEWED FOR POTENTIAL SOURCES OF ASSISTANCE INCLUDING UHS' CHARITY CARE POLICY. IF THE PATIENT IS DEEMED UNWILLING TO PAY, THE ACCOUNT IS WRITTEN-OFF AS BAD DEBT AND TRANSFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY FOR ADDITIONAL COLLECTION EFFORT.UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY AS CHARITY PATIENTS ARE EXTENDED AN UNINSURED DISCOUNT OF AT LEAST 20% OF TOTAL CHARGES. DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS THE HOSPITAL ESTABLISHES A PARTIAL RESERVE IN THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR SELF-PAY BALANCES OUTSTANDING FOR GREATER THAN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DISCHARGE. ALL SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS AT THE HOSPITAL LEVEL ARE FULLY RESERVED IF THEY HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING FOR GREATER THAN 90 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DISCHARGE. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY ACCOUNTS ARE FULLY RESERVED IN THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS WHEN THE BALANCE AGES PAST 180 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DISCHARGE. POTENTIAL CHARITY ACCOUNTS ARE FULLY RESERVED WHEN IT IS DETERMINED THE PATIENT MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY.ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS, UHS MONITORS TOTAL SELF-PAY RECEIVABLES TO ENSURE THAT THE TOTAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS PROVIDES ADEQUATE COVERAGE BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE."

  PART I, LINE 7 GW OFFERED AN ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR CERTAIN SENIOR OFFICIALS. THE ANNUAL AWARD OPPORTUNITY IS CAPPED AT A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR SALARY. THE PLAN INCLUDES PROGRAMMATIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE YEAR THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THEIR DEPARTMENT OR DIVISION, AS WELL AS THE UNIVERSITY, BUT ARE NON-REVENUE RELATED GOALS. THE PLAN IS APPROVED ANNUALLY BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' COMMITTEE ON GOVERNANCE, COMPENSATION AND NOMINATIONS (THE "COMMITTEE"). PRIOR TO THE PAYOUT, THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF SENIOR OFFICIALS ON THEIR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND AWARDS THE INCENTIVE PAYMENTS BASED ON COMPARABLE MARKET DATA. THE UNIVERSITY ALSO ENGAGES ITS INTERNAL AUDITORS TO PERFORM SPECIFIC PROCEDURES TO DETERMINE WHETHER: (1) MANAGEMENT'S REVIEW OF THE COMPENSATION PROCESS FOLLOWED INTERNAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES; AND (2) CALCULATIONS AND SOURCE DATA USED TO DETERMINE THE INCENTIVE PAYMENTS COMPLY WITH THE PLAN BEFORE THE DATA IS PROVIDED TO THE COMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION.
  PART I, LINE 8 ONE PERSON HAD AN INITIAL CONTRACT COVERING HIS BASE SALARY AND ALL BUT $13,000 OF HIS COMPENSATION DURING 2010. THE INCREMENTAL $13,000 AMOUNT WAS A TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT WHICH WAS IN EFFECT ONLY WHILE HE HELD THE INTERIM POSITION, AFTER WHICH HE RETURNED TO HIS NORMAL SALARY.

DURING 2010, THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE TIMING BY WHICH BONUSES ARE PAID FOR OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES AND DECIDED TO CHANGE TIMING OF BONUS PAYMENTS TO NOVEMBER OF EACH YEAR. BECAUSE THE ANNUAL BONUS PERFORMANCE PERIOD COVERS THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING 6/30, THE INTENT WAS TO ALIGN THE TIMING OF THE BONUS MORE CLOSELY WITH THE PERIOD FOR WHICH THE PERFORMANCE RELATES. THIS RESULTED IN TWO BONUS PAYMENTS IN CALENDAR YEAR 2010 FOR CERTAIN OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, ONE COVERING THE PERIOD 7/1/2008 - 6/30/2009 AND THE SECOND COVERING THE PERIOD 7/1/2009 - 6/30/2010.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11   FORMS 990 AND 990-T WERE PREPARED IN-HOUSE BY THE UNIVERSITY'S TAX DEPARTMENT. THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF INFORMATION WAS THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOT ONLY SERVED AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION BUT ALSO RECONCILED WITH THE COMPLETED 990. THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE FORM 990 WAS THE PRESENTATION FORMAT AND SPECIAL GROUPINGS OF INCOME, EXPENSES, AND BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS REQUIRED ON THE FORM 990. SECONDARY INFORMATION USED TO PREPARE THE FORMS CAME FROM THE OFFICES THAT HAVE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN ACTIVITY, INCLUDING THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE (FINANCIAL REPORTING, GRANTS AND CONTRACTS ACCOUNTING SERVICES, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE), PAYROLL SERVICES, OFFICE OF THE SENIOR VP AND GENERAL COUNSEL, OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE AND PRIVACY, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICE, BUDGET, ATHLETICS, AND INVESTMENT REAL ESTATE, ALONG WITH OTHER OFFICES AND DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSITY.

THESE PLANS ARE MONITORED AND ENFORCED THROUGH ONGOING OVERSIGHT, COORDINATED BY THE OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE AND PRIVACY, INCLUDING A THOROUGH REVIEW OF UNIVERSITY PAYMENT REQUESTS THAT MAY CREATE A CONFLICT.
  FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNANCE, COMPENSATION AND NOMINATIONS (THE "COMMITTEE") OF THE UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES WAS DELEGATED THE AUTHORITY BY THE BOARD TO SET EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEE, SERVING AS THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, ANNUALLY REVIEWS AND DETERMINES THE COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT, AND REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION RECOMMENDED BY THE PRESIDENT FOR THE OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. IN MAKING ITS ASSESSMENTS, THE COMMITTEE OBTAINS COMPENSATION INFORMATION PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM THAT INCLUDES MARKET DATA FROM COMPARABLE UNIVERSITIES FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS. IN DETERMINING THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION, THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS THE CONSULTANT'S REPORT AND MARKET DATA IN ADDITION TO THE TERMS OF HIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. THE COMMITTEE ALSO TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AS WELL AS GOALS FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR. WHEN REVIEWING THE REASONABLENESS OF THE SENIOR OFFICIALS' COMPENSATION, IN ADDITION TO CONSIDERING THE CONSULTANT'S REPORT AND MARKET DATA, THE COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWS SENIOR OFFICIALS' PERFORMANCE, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE PRESIDENT'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION AS IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE FROM TIME TO TIME, SUCH AS GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, LENGTH OF SERVICE AND PRIOR SALARY HISTORY. IF ANY SENIOR OFFICIAL'S COMPENSATION IS ABOVE MARKET DATA, THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS ALL RELEVANT FACTORS AND, IF IT APPROVES THE COMPENSATION, EXPLAINS ITS RATIONALE AND INCLUDES ITS EXPLANATION IN THE MINUTES. THE COMMITTEE KEEPS MINUTES OF ALL FINAL ACTIONS AT EACH MEETING.
