Identifier	Return Reference	Explanation
FIN 48 (ASC 740) Footnote	Part X, Question 2	The organization follows the FIN 48 policy of Via Christi Health, Inc. (VCH) and the policy is provided in the VCH consolidated audited financial statements. With the exception of certain subsidiaries, all of the entities in the Health System are organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are generally exempt from payment of income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subsidiaries which are for-profit organizations are subject to federal and state income taxes. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the Health System's management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Health System and its subsidiaries and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if an uncertain position has been taken that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions by the Health System and its subsidiaries, and has concluded that as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. Tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Income tax expense or benefit is included in other nonoperating gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	PART I, Question 6a	A community benefit update is printed in the ministry's annual report which is released in various formats to the public and available from the ministry's webpage at www.viachristi.org/about-us or upon request. In addition, Via Christi makes public presentations, when invited, on the findings of the latest health needs assessment. MRHC and Wamego City Hospital's (WCH) annual report is prepared and printed in "Up Close," a magazine printed with 2,400 copies distributed to surrounding communities of Clay Center, Manhattan, and Wamego. "Up Close" is also available on MRHC's website at www.mercyregional.org.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS	PART I, Question 7	For examples of some of the community benefit programs provided by Mercy Regional Health Center, Inc. and Wamego Hospital Association, Inc. (a combined report) see the Schedule O footnote for Part III, Statement of Program Services.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	PART II	Community building activities are essential roles for health care organizations in that they address many of the underlying determinants of health. Research has consistently shown that when the socioeconomic factors influencing health are explored, health care actually plays a smaller role proportionately. A report in the Journal of American Medical Association and the Center for Disease Control suggests that the determinants impacting health are as follows: lifestyle and behaviors, 50%; environment, 20%; genetics and human biology, 20%; and health care, 10%. Community building activities help to address the other determinants outside of the role traditionally played by health care organizations. The hospital provides timely and specific resources to help community organizations through donations to fulfill their missions of improving the well-being of the community and contributing to its overall health status in ways that may differ from direct clinical services provided by the hospital. These activities are almost exclusively done in partnership with other community organizations which are better suited to address identified community needs. Listed below are just a few of the Community Building activities reported by our hospital during FY2012. This is not a complete listing but a sampling of how the hospital participates in the health of the community through its Community Building activities. Presentations made to the Chamber of Commerce meetings in Manhattan, Wamego, and other surrounding communities to update them on the results of the community health needs assessments, strategic plans of the hospital and participation in discussions regarding economic development and workforce development all benefit the communities. Actively sharing the findings of the community health needs assessments allows other Chamber members to be aware of the most up-to-date information and gives them an opportunity to partner with the hospital and other area businesses in finding solutions. The National Bioscience Agricultural Facility (NBAF) Participated in a community update forum with area universities, colleges, and nonprofit institutions to hear and learn about the opportunities being provided to the region by the NBAF. Their focus is to recruit more scientists in the area, as well as health care professionals and technicians, to conduct bioscience research, development, testing, and product commercialization activities. By participating in this event, MRHC leaders become more knowledgeable about the type of scientists and researchers being recruited and can assist in the promotion and ultimate recruitment. Through the research efforts of those recruited, health care best practices can be identified resulting in better health outcomes for all. 4-H Discovery Days - This youth conference, hosted by Kansas State University, brought 700+ youth (ages 13 - 18) together over three days to explore various careers and the required educational steps they will have to master to realize their dreams. Topics at the conference ranged from human biology to water quality and the environment. The youth also had an opportunity to tour a grain science flour mill to learn about food product safety development. The event is planned by the Kansas 4-H organization, but health care providers are a major contributor to the success of this event. MRHC's involvement gives students real hands-on access to those who are in fields of interests to stimulate student interests and participation.
Estimating Bad Debt Expense	PART III, Section A, Question 3	The organization has no suitable basis for estimating bad debt expense that would be attributable to patients eligible under the organization's charity care policy.
Audit Footnote on Bad Debt Expense	PART III, Section A, Question 4	The provision for bad debt expense is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering economic conditions, historical experience, trends in health care coverage, and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payer category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for bad debt expense to establish an appropriate allowance for uncollectible accounts. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, The Health System follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by the Health System. Accounts receivable are written off after collections efforts have been followed in accordance with the Health System's policies.
Medicare Shortfall	PART III, Section B, Question 8	MRHC follows the CHA guidelines regarding Medicare and does not include it as community benefit. The methodology described in the instructions to Schedule H, Part III, Section B, Line 7 for reporting Medicare shortfall does not take into account all costs incurred by the Hospital and does not represent the total Medicare shortfall. The Medicare shortfall reported on Schedule H, Part III, Section B, Line 7 was determined using information from the organization's Medicare cost report (using the Medicare Cost report step-down methodology of allocating costs). The most common reason for a difference between the Medicare shortfall reported on Schedule H and the actual shortfall reported above include inclusion of Medicare Advantage revenue and expenses, inclusion of Medicare Part B Revenue and Expenses, inclusion of other fee schedule revenue, other timing issues, and costs that are considered unallowable on the Medicare cost report that are, in fact, related to Medicare patient care.
Debt Collection Policy	Part III, Section C, Question 9b	It is the policy of MRHC to promote socially just practices for billing and collections for all patients receiving care. The policy is intended to further the MRHC mission by requiring ethical conduct in billing and collecting self-pay balances from patient/guarantor's regardless of ability to pay. The policy ensures that prior to turning an account over to a Third Party Collection Agent (Agent) for collection activity, MRHC will perform a reasonable review of each account to verify that the patient/guarantor is not potentially eligible for any government assistance program (e.g., Medicaid, Medicare, etc.) and would likely not qualify for charity care. MRHC will direct its staff and Agents to periodically assess each patient/guarantor's ability to pay or to determine eligibility for charity care. The review and assessment should include but may not be limited to the following: a. Ensure the patient/guarantor has been notified of VCH's financial assistance policy; b. Ensure the patient/guarantor was offered a financial assistance application; c. Ensure documentation of any known extraordinary financial circumstances of the patient/guarantor or if they are medically indigent.
Financial Assistance Policy	Part V, Question 13g	The full policy is not posted in each of these areas; however, reference to the policy is posted and the policy is immediately available to anyone who requests it.
Needs Assessment	PART VI, Question 2	Ministry representatives are involved with numerous coalitions that periodically assess community needs (e.g. Flint Hills Community Clinic, Kansas Health Care Collaborative, United Way of Riley County, Shepherds' Crossing and others) and in 2011 conducted their own health assessment. Secondary data, other community assessments and one-on-one interviews with community leaders, social service providers, health care providers, and government representatives are used to conduct the assessments.
Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance	Part VI, Question 3	VCH financial assistance staff is trained on how to qualify patients for Medicaid, SCHIP, and other such income-based programs. During the patient's registration, admissions, and discharge processes, VCH attempts to identify patients who may be eligible for charity or discounted care through the charity care policy. In addition, VCH uses a percentage of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) to determine free and discounted care.
Community Information	Part VI, Question 4	The primary counties for Manhattan ministries include Riley, Geary, and Pottawatomie. Riley County has a land area of 610 square miles with a 2011 estimated population of 72,997. Pottawatomie County has a land area of 841 square miles with a 2011 estimated population of 21,920. Geary County has a land area of 385 square miles with a 2011 estimated population of 35,323. Riley County's population demographic includes: 85.0% white, 6.6% Black, 0.7% American Indian, 4.2% Asian and 7.0% persons of Hispanic or Latino origin. The diversity of the population in Riley County is greater than for Pottawatomie County. Racial breakout for Pottawatomie County includes: 94.6% white, 1.3% Black, 0.9% American Indian, 0.8% Asian persons, and 4.7% persons of Hispanic or Latino origin. The demographic distribution for Geary County includes: 70.2% white, 18.4% Black, 1.2% American Indian, 3.4% Asian and 13.1% Hispanic or Latino origin. Geary County has the highest diversity rates primarily due to Fort Riley, an Army base and Home of the 1st Infantry Division.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY	PART VI, SECTION B, QUESTION 12C	THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY IS MONITORED AS PART OF THE SYSTEM-WIDE PROCEDURES AND NOT AT THE ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL. THE SYSTEM-WIDE PROCEDURES ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1) AT TIME OF APPOINTMENT AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER, ALL INTERESTED PERSONS, INCLUDING BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS, COMPLETE A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT WHICH ADDRESSES ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST; 2) THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS DONE ELECTRONICALLY AND THE RETURN OF THE COMPLETED STATEMENT IS A CONDITION OF CONTINUED APPOINTMENT, EMPLOYMENT, OR PARTICIPATION WITH THE ORGANIZATION; 3) ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARE REVIEWED, INVESTIGATED, AND RESOLVED BY THE CHIEF GOVERNANCE OFFICER AND THE CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY OFFICER, WITH THE RESULTS SHARED WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE ORGANIZATION; and 4) PERIODIC REVIEWS ARE CONDUCTED BY GOVERNANCE, COMPLIANCE, AND INTERNAL AUDIT TO ENSURE THE ORGANZIATION IS OPERATING CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY AND ENFORCING THE POLICY'S TERMS.
COMPENSATION REVIEW	PART VI, SECTION B, QUESTIONs 15A & 15B	Mercy Regional Health Center, Inc. uses the policies established by Via Christi Health, Inc. (VCH). VCH has established a common philosophy, strategy, and processes for executive compensation. Through the oversight of the VCH Executive Compensation Committee, executive compensation is competitively positioned at its stated market position when compared to the compensation paid by relevant organizations (comparably-sized health systems, hospitals, and long-term care providers). VCH recognizes its responsibility to ensure that its executive compensation program is appropriate in view of its mission and tax-exempt status and that its compensation levels and expenditures are reasonable and not excessive. To ensure these ends, the VCH Executive Compensation Committee has established and approved the executive compensation philosophy for VCH and all related entities. It will also approve all changes in the compensation package for VCH executives in advance. On an annual basis, the Committee conducts a comprehensive review of total compensation for all executives. It also reviews and approves "off-cycle" compensation transactions as needed. In their review, the Committee considers the following factors: * Market data from independent compensation surveys and sources that reflect comparable positions in organizations of similar size and scope; * Difficulties in recruiting and retaining executives; * Skills, experience, and performance history of individual executives; * Critical business or strategic issues that the organization may face; and * Market position for total compensation. The adequacy, competitiveness, and cost of the VCH total executive compensation program are reviewed on an ongoing basis and changes are made as the Committee determines appropriate. The executive compensation program will be maintained such that it will fall within the safe harbor guidelines established by the Intermediate Sanctions regulations. The Committee also employs the services of an independent compensation consultant to prepare market analysis to aid and support the Committee's actions, provide documentation of market trends for budget setting purposes, review annual compensation changes to ensure "reasonableness" and provide attestation, and provide consultation on all executive compensation issues. The Committee also relies on third-party validation of performance measures used in the determination of compensation.

Statement of Program Services	PART III	Mercy Regional Health Center, Inc. (MRHC) is a member of Via Christi Health, Inc. (VCH). As a Catholic health system, VCH has its origins in faith-based responses to health needs of our communities, with a particular concern for those living in poverty and who are vulnerable. In addition to typical inpatient and outpatient services, VCH operates primary care clinics, a low income neighborhood outreach clinic, specialty hospitals and centers, home medical services, therapy centers, and long-term care villages. The obligation to reach out to those in need and to improve community health flows directly from VCH's identity as a faith-based healing ministry. VCH continues its tradition in providing community benefit because we are committed to: * Promoting and defending human dignity; * Caring for persons living in poverty and other vulnerable populations; * Promoting the common good; and * Stewarding resources responsibly. According to the VCH mission statement, "As a part of Via Christi Health, we share this Mission: Inspired by the Gospel and our Catholic tradition, we serve as a healing presence with special concern for our neighbors who are vulnerable." The financial information in this report was prepared in accordance with the Catholic Health Association's (CHA) A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit Guidelines. Per these Guidelines, we report the net expense for community benefit services, i.e., the total community benefit expense minus any associated revenue from patients, residents, payers, and other external sources. The CHA Guidelines reflect a conservative approach to reporting quantifiable community benefit. The goal of the Guidelines is to produce community benefit financial reports that reflect true costs and that describe community benefit activities that increase access to health care and improve community health for all. The following are MRHC definitions for quantifiable community benefits reports. Charity Care: Free or discounted health services provided to persons who cannot afford to pay and who meet VCH's criteria for financial assistance. Charity care is reported in terms of costs, not charges. Charity care does not include bad debt. Government Sponsored Means-Tested Health Care: Includes unpaid costs of public programs for low-income persons - the shortfall created when VCH receives payments that are less than the cost of caring for public program beneficiaries. This payment shortfall is not the same as a contractual allowance, which is the full difference between charges and government payments. Health Professions Education: Helping to prepare future health care professionals is a distinguishing characteristic of not-for-profit health care and constitutes a significant community benefit. This category includes programs and financial assistance for physicians and medical students, nurses and nursing students, interns, and other health professionals. For fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 Community Benefit (MRHC and Subsidiaries): 1. Charity care - at cost $2.4 million 2. Government sponsored health care, net expense $1.8 million Unpaid cost of public indigent care programs (includes Medicaid, SCHIP, other safety net programs; does not include Medicare shortfall) 3. Community Benefit Programs - net expense $1.4 million 4. Total Quantifiable Community Benefit $5.6 million Listed below are just a few of the community benefit programs offered by MRHC and Wamego City Hospital (WCH) during FY2012. This is not a complete listing but a sampling of how the hospital gives back to the community while meeting current needs; additional information is provided on Schedule H. Flint Hills Community Clinic - In partnership with area physicians, MRHC oversees uninsured and underinsured individuals by providing staff support, as well as free diagnostic testing (e.g. lab, x-rays, etc) for the clinic. In FY2012, over 1,500 persons were served through this clinic. MRHC also donated time and SurgiStain to reprocess some of the clinics old instruments. SANE/SART is a program in response to all victims of sexual assault who present themselves to MRHC hospital. MRHC hospital staff provided them with immediate medical care and WOULD follow up with them through advocacy and criminal justice services, if appropriate. In FY2012, 62 individuals were assisted by the SANE/SART team through evidence exams, consults, and/or follow-up services. Community Boards/Committees/Coalitions - MRHC staff serve on various not-for-profit boards, committees, or coalitions to keep informed about community needs and to share MRHC resources and expertise with various groups as they work to achieve their missions. In FY2012, MRHC served with these groups: Homecare and Hospice Board; Healthy Little Apple Coalition; Sound Beginnings Advisory Committee; Flint Hills Community Clinic Board; Ministerial Alliance; American Cancer Society Camp Hope; Local Emergency Preparedness Committee; NE KS Regional Homeland Security Council; Sound Beginnings Advisory Committee, and Raising Riley Board. Emergency Medical Services - MRHC's EMS provides standby care for various community activities to ensure quick response of medical care should accidents occur during an event. In FY2012, MRHC provided assistance for the Riley County Rodeo; Thunder Over Manhattan; July 4th Celebrations; Juneteenth Celebrations; Alert Road Race; Job Corp Safety Day; 4-H Discover Days; St Patrick's Day Road Race; Aggieville New Years Eve Celebration; KState Football; and Spooktacular. One Community Campaign - MRHC's staff annually volunteer to coordinate the internal campaign which benefits United Way of Riley County. Staff serve as department ambassadors assisting with presentations, pledge card distribution and collection, hosting team meetings, and learning about the various programs funded through the local United Way. Free Car Seat Safety Checks - MRHC's Emergency Medical Services Staff offer a MONTHLY safety seat check for children's car seats. During FY2012, over 160 car seats were inspected and parents/grandparents were trained on how to ensure seats are installed correctly and the importance of regularly checking that straps are secure. School Safety Expo Fair - MRHC's Emergency Medical Services Staff participated in the Manhattan Town Center expo fair. While there, they promoted the use of bicycle helmets, showing parents how to correctly measure and adjust to fit childrens' heads. Bicycle helmets were available for purchase and additional safety infoRMATION was distributed to children alerting them to maintaining their safety to and from school. Safety/Wellness Fair for Seniors - MRHC's staff participated in the Meadowlark Wellness Fair aimed at providing senior residents with information on community resources and, in partnership with the National Alzheimer's Foundation and Riley County Senior Services Center, staff conducted memory screenings for people concerned about dementia. Staff also provided speakers on memory issues and hosted an educational booth on senior related issues. Overall, MRHC and Wamego City Hospital combined community benefit programs (not counting unpaid reimbursement of Medicare or bad debt) accounted for $5.9 million to the geographical area of Manhattan and Wamego, Kansas for FY2012.
