Identifier	ReturnReference	Explanation
ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	THE INCOME BASED CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY IS PER NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 10:52 SUB CHAPTERS 11, 12 AND 13, AND BASED UPON THE 2012 FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES). FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ARE INCLUDED IN THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY AND DISCOUNTED CARE. THE FACILITY USES A SLIDING SCALE METHOD TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	ANNUALLY THE ORGANIZATION PREPARES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH IS POSTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE, WWW.HACKENSACKUMC.ORG.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II	HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("HACKENSACKUMC") ACTIVELY ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. HACKENSACKUMC CONTRIBUTED $13,543,200 TO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN SPONSORSHIP OF YOUTH SPORTING ACTIVITIES, JULY 4TH CELEBRATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS. IN ADDITION, HACKENSACKUMC PROVIDES AND SUBSIDIZES DAY CARE SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS COMMUNITY BUILDING OPERATION RESULTED IN A LOSS OF $88,382 IN 2012.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PREPARED AND ISSUED FOR HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK, WHICH INCLUDES HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS ACCOUNTED FOR ON THE ACCRUAL BASIS IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED. THESE AMOUNTS ARE NET OF APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCES TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NETWORK CHARGES AND REIMBURSEMENT RATES FROM THIRD PARTY PAYERS. THE NETWORK IS REIMBURSED FROM THIRD PARTY PAYERS UNDER VARIOUS METHODOLOGIES BASED ON THE LEVEL OF CARE PROVIDED. CERTAIN NET REVENUES RECEIVED ARE SUBJECT TO AUDIT AND RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENT FOR WHICH AMOUNTS ARE ACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. THE NET POSITIVE ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS RELATING TO PRIOR YEAR ESTIMATES WERE APPROXIMATELY $6,054,000 AND $1,000,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011, RESPECTIVELY. ADDITIONALLY, DURING 2012 THE NETWORK RECEIVED A FAVORABLE SETTLEMENT APPEAL AND RECOGNIZED NET REVENUE OF $9,774,000, NET OF CONSULTING COSTS, RELATED TO PRIOR YEARS' MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT. THE PROCESS FOR ESTIMATING THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGMENTS. ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE WHEN MANAGEMENT DETERMINES IT IS PROBABLE THE RECEIVABLE WILL NOT BE RECOVERED. THE USE OF HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND PAYER REIMBURSEMENT EXPERIENCE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ESTIMATION OF RESERVES FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. REVISIONS IN RESERVE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS ESTIMATES ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. A SUMMARY OF THE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH MAJOR THIRD-PARTY PAYERS IS AS FOLLOWS: MEDICARE - INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES AND MOST OUTPATIENT SERVICES RENDERED TO MEDICARE PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE. THESE RATES VARY ACCORDING TO A PATIENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM THAT IS BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND OTHER FACTORS. INPATIENT NON-ACUTE SERVICES AND DEFINED CAPITAL AND MEDICAL EDUCATION COSTS RELATED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID BASED ON A COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY. THE NETWORK IS REIMBURSED FOR CERTAIN REIMBURSABLE ITEMS AT A TENTATIVE RATE WITH FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL COST REPORT BY THE NETWORK AND AUDITS THEREOF BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. THE NETWORK'S CLASSIFICATION OF PATIENTS UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM AND THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THEIR ADMISSION ARE SUBJECT TO AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW BY A PEER REVIEW ORGANIZATION UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE NETWORK'S MEDICARE COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND FINALIZED BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2004. MEDICAID - INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES RENDERED TO MEDICAID PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE. THESE RATES VARY ACCORDING TO A PATIENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM THAT IS BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND OTHER FACTORS. OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE PAID BASED UPON A COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY AND CERTAIN SERVICES ARE PAID BASED ON A MEDICAID FEE SCHEDULE. THE NETWORK IS PAID FOR REIMBURSABLE COSTS AT A TENTATIVE RATE WITH FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL COST REPORT BY THE NETWORK AND AUDIT THEREOF BY THE MEDICAID FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. THE NETWORK'S MEDICAID COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND FINALIZED BY THE MEDICAID FISCAL INTERMEDIARY THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2006. THE NETWORK HAS ALSO ENTERED INTO PAYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CERTAIN COMMERCIAL INSURANCE CARRIERS, HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS AND PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS. THE BASIS FOR PAYMENT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS INCLUDES PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DAY/CASE AND DISCOUNTS FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES. REVENUE FROM MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ACCOUNTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30% AND 9%, RESPECTIVELY, OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN 2012 AND 30% AND 8%, RESPECTIVELY, OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN 2011. THE CURRENT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS ARE BASED UPON COMPLEX LAWS AND REGULATIONS. NONCOMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESULT IN FINES, PENALTIES, AND EXCLUSION FROM SUCH PROGRAMS. THE NETWORK IS NOT AWARE OF ANY NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND IS NOT AWARE OF ANY PENDING OR THREATENED INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVING ALLEGATIONS OF POTENTIAL WRONGDOING THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON ITS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CHARITY CARE IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSE, THE NETWORK PROVIDES A WIDE ARRAY OF SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS, HEALTH SCREENINGS, TRAUMA SERVICES, TRAINING FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL, SOCIAL SERVICE AND SUPPORT COUNSELING FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, PASTORAL CARE, CRISIS INTERVENTION, AND TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE NETWORK. ADDITIONALLY, A LARGE NUMBER OF HEALTH-RELATED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING HEALTH ENHANCEMENTS AND WELLNESS, CLASSES ON SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, MEDICAL EDUCATION, TELEPHONE INFORMATION SERVICES, AND PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE GENERAL STANDARDS OF THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THE NETWORK PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT REDUCED COSTS TO RESIDENTS OF ITS COMMUNITY. THE NETWORK'S DEFINITION OF CHARITY CARE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: (A) SERVICES PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE TO THE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED AND (B) SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS EXPRESSING A WILLINGNESS TO PAY, BUT WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNABLE TO PAY BECAUSE OF SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA UNDER THE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM FOR CHARITY CARE OR TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR A NEW PROGRAM ESTABLISHED BY THE NETWORK IN 2008. THE NETWORK OFFERS ITS OWN CHARITY CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DID NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NETWORK'S CHARGES AND THE REDUCED RATES ARE CONSIDERED THE NETWORK'S SELF-PAY CHARITY CARE. THE NETWORK MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. SUCH FORGONE CHARGES FOR 2012 AND 2011 ARE AS FOLLOWS (IN THOUSANDS): 2012 2011 (000'S) (000'S) ====== ====== CHARGES FORGONE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM $216,926 $205,846 MEDICAL CENTER'S SELF-PAY CHARITY CARE PROGRAM $ 90,582 $ 88,131 ------------ ------------ TOTAL CHARGES FOREGONE $307,508 $293,977 ============ =========== OF THE NETWORK'S TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED IN 2012 AND 2011, AN ESTIMATED $73,550,000 AND $68,663,000 AROSE DURING 2012 AND 2011, RESPECTIVELY, FROM PROVIDING SERVICES TO CHARITY CARE PATIENTS. THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF PROVIDING CHARITY SERVICES ARE BASED ON A CALCULATION WHICH APPLIES A RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES TO THE GROSS UNCOMPENSATED CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CARE TO CHARITY PATIENTS. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE MEDICAL CENTER'S TOTAL EXPENSES (LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSE) DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEW JERSEY HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT OF 1992 PROVIDED FOR CERTAIN SUBSIDY PAYMENTS FROM THE STATE TO QUALIFIED HOSPITALS TO PARTIALLY FUND UNCOMPENSATED CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COSTS. SUBSIDY PAYMENTS RECOGNIZED AS REVENUE AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY $9,154,000 AND $9,775,000 FOR 2012 AND 2011, RESPECTIVELY, AND ARE INCLUDED IN OTHER REVENUE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WAS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS DERIVED FROM THE 2012 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE ARE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDED WITHIN FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS). THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE INDIGENT OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT A HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (AHA) HAS OUTLINED IN A LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA BELIEVES THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE INDIGENT AND ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - ALSO KNOWN AS "DUAL ELIGIBLES." DUAL ELIGIBLES ARE AMONG THE SICKEST AND POOREST INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY EITHER MEDICARE OR MEDICAID. MOST DUAL ELIGIBLES ARE VERY LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS. IN 2008, 86% OF DUAL ELIGIBLES HAD ANNUAL INCOMES BELOW 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, COMPARED TO 22% OF NON-DUAL MEDICARE BENEFICIARES. ONLY 7 PERCENT HAD ANNUAL INCOMES GREATER THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. THERE IS A VERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ANNUAL OVERALL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS MUST BE ASSUMED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND INDIGENT. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOME BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING APPLICATION FOR AND ULTIMATE APPROVAL FOR CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITALS' BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF

THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID SPECIALIST ALSO ANSWERS ALL INCOMING CALLS AND MAILS OUT THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE BROCHURES UPON REQUEST. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID RECEPTIONIST WILL PROCESS ALL REQUESTS FOR CHARITY CARE FROM PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS AND SECURE THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION THAT FOLLOWS THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE APPROVED BASED ON INCOME/ASSET GUIDELINES, THEY WILL PREPARE A DETERMINATION OF CHARITY CARE NOTICE BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE CALCULATIONS AND SEND IT TO THE PATIENT.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4	SERVICE AREA THE MEDICAL CENTER DEFINES ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA FOR INPATIENTS ("PSA") AS BERGEN COUNTY, ITS SECONDARY SERVICE AREA ("SSA") AS PASSAIC AND HUDSON COUNTIES, AND ITS TERTIARY SERVICE AREA ("TSA") AS OTHER COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY AND CERTAIN COUNTIES IN NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA. THE 2010 POPULATION OF THE PSA AND SSA WERE 905,116 AND 1,135,492, RESPECTIVELY, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2010, APPROXIMATELY 22.6% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 22.5% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 15.1% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 11.1% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE 65 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2012, APPROXIMATELY 60.4% OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S 44,847 DISCHARGES CAME FROM BERGEN COUNTY, 11.3% FROM HUDSON COUNTY AND 12.8% FROM PASSAIC COUNTY. THE MEDICAL CENTER REFERS TO BERGEN, HUDSON AND PASSAIC COUNTIES AS THE "TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA". THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO ATTRACTS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO RESIDE BEYOND THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA, AND FREQUENTLY THESE PATIENTS ARE SEEKERS OF SUB-SPECIALTY CARE. IN 2012, APPROXIMATELY 15.4% OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S DISCHARGES CAME FROM OUTSIDE OF THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA. A CONSISTENT GOAL OF THE MEDICAL CENTER OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES HAS BEEN TO REDUCE OUTMIGRATION OF PSA AND SSA PATIENTS TO HOSPITALS IN NEW YORK CITY. ALTHOUGH HACKENSACKUMC HAS EXPERIENCED A REDUCTION IN OUTMIGRATION AND INCREASED PSA AND SSA ADMISSIONS, THE CONTINUING REDUCTION OF OUTMIGRATION REMAINS A LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE.
PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 5	THIS ORGANIZATION OPERATES CONSISTENTLY WITH THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA OUTLINED IN IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545: 1. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, SELF-PAY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS; 2. THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES AN ACTIVE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR ALL PERSONS; WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS PER YEAR; 3.

THE HEART CENTER IS AN OUTPATIENT CARDIAC DEPARTMENT THAT OFFERS STRESS TESTING, ECHOCARDIOGRAMS, HALTER MONITOR SERVICES, A PACEMAKER CENTER, ELECTRON-BEAM TOMOGRAPHY, ENHANCED EXTERNAL COUNTER PULSATION, AND OUTPATIENT DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES. A NEW PICTURE ARCHIVING COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND REPORT-GENERATING SYSTEM HAS BEEN RECENTLY INSTALLED. THE NEW HEART AND VASCULAR HOSPITAL IS CHARTING THE FUTURE OF CARDIOVASCULAR CARE IN NEW JERSEY. HACKENSACKUMC HAS EMBARKED ON A MISSION TO RECRUIT THE VERY BEST CARDIOLOGISTS IN THE COMMUNITY TO ENHANCE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT SERVICES OFFERED AT THE NEW, CUTTING-EDGE HEART & VASCULAR HOSPITAL. THIS "HOSPITAL WITHIN A HOSPITAL" PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SPACE, SUPERIOR PATIENT CARE, AND ACCESS TO LEADING TECHNOLOGY. CANCER CARE ----------- THE JOHN THEURER CANCER CENTER AT HACKENSACKUMC ("THE CANCER CENTER") IS NEW JERSEY'S LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE CENTER DEDICATED TO THE DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, MANAGEMENT, RESEARCH, SCREENINGS AND PREVENTIVE CARE OF PATIENTS WITH ALL TYPES OF CANCER, AND IS AMONG THE NATION'S TOP 10 IN PATIENT VOLUME. THE CANCER CENTER HAS RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 53,000 ACTIVE TREATMENTS DURING 2012. EACH WEEK, APPROXIMATELY 150 NEW PATIENTS SEEK OUT HUMC'S SERVICES. ITS ADULT BLOOD AND MARROW STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION PROGRAM, NOW ONE OF THE TOP 10 IN THE UNITED STATES, TREATS MORE THAN 200 PATIENTS A YEAR. HOUSED WITHIN HACKENSACKUMC, THE CANCER CENTER PROVIDES STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, COMPASSIONATE CARE, RESEARCH INNOVATIONS, MEDICAL EXPERTISE, AND A FULL RANGE OF AFTER CARE SERVICES THAT DISTINGUISH THE CANCER CENTER FROM OTHER FACILITIES. THE CANCER CENTER IS COMPOSED OF 14 SPECIALIZED ON-SITE TEAMS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL CARE OF THEIR PATIENTS AND LOVED ONES. EACH OF THE 14 DIVISIONS FEATURES TEAMS OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, TECHNOLOGISTS, AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH CLINICAL AND RESEARCH EXPERTISE IN A SPECIFIC TYPE OF CANCER (SUCH AS LEUKEMIA OR BREAST CANCER) OR SPECIFIC SERVICE (SUCH AS SUPPORTIVE CARE AND PAIN MANAGEMENT). THIS APPROACH, WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER A CLOSE-KNIT TEAM OF MEDICAL, RESEARCH, NURSING, AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE, TRANSLATES INTO MORE ADVANCED, FOCUSED CARE FOR PATIENTS.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III	THE CANCER CENTER HAS EXPERIENCED STEADY GROWTH IN ITS CANCER CARE PROGRAMS. IT OFFERS PATIENTS ACCESS TO ONE OF FOURTEEN SPECIALIZED DIVISIONS: BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION, BREAST, GASTROINTESTINAL, GENITOURINARY, GYNECOLOGICAL, HEAD AND NECK, LEUKEMIA, LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE, MULTIPLE MYELOMA, NEURO-ONCOLOGY, SKIN AND SARCOMA, SUPPLEMENTARY CARE AND PAIN MANAGEMENT, THORACIC, AND RESEARCH. IN ADDITION, IT IS ONE OF ONLY 50 PROGRAMS IN THE NATION DESIGNATED AS A COMMUNITY CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM (CCOP) BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI) OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. A CCOP IS A GROUP OF COMMUNITY HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS FUNDED BY A PEER-REVIEWED COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN NCI-SPONSORED CANCER TREATMENT, PREVENTION, AND CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIALS. THE CANCER CENTER ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE RANGE OF ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CAPABILITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ONLY AT MAJOR HOSPITALS SUCH AS HACKENSACKUMC. THESE INCLUDE ALL TYPES OF IMAGING STUDIES, INCLUDING PET SCANNING, MRI, CT SCANNING, AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE; ADVANCED MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL DIAGNOSTICS, SUCH AS STEREOTACTIC BIOPSIES AND SENTINEL LYMPH NODE MAPPING; ROBOTIC AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURES; STATE-OF-THE-ART RADIATION THERAPY, INCLUDING INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY (IMRT), TOMOTHERAPY, IMPLANT AND HIGH-DOSE-RATE BRACHYTHERAPY, AND STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY; NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS, INCLUDING RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION; ADVANCED CHEMOTHERAPY USING NEW MEDICATIONS AND COMBINATIONS; HORMONAL THERAPY; STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION; AND HIGHLY PROMISING IMMUNOTHERAPY USING VACCINES TO DESTROY CANCER CELLS. HOWEVER, AT THE CANCER CENTER, HACKENSACKUMC IS NOT SATISFIED TO PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANCED, STATE-OF-THE-ART SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TODAY. NOR IS IT SATISFIED TO PROVIDE CUTTING-EDGE BASIC RESEARCH, CLINICAL TRIALS, AND INNOVATIVE TREATMENT METHODS THAT ARE NOT FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE IN NEW JERSEY. WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING PEOPLE FACE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF THEIR LIVES - A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER - HACKENSACKUMC REACHES BEYOND ITS FACILITIES, ITS EQUIPMENT, AND ITS TREATMENTS AND OFFERS PATIENTS THE BEST OF HACKENSACKUMC, THE CANCER CARE TEAM OF DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS. NO TREATMENT CAN WORK WITHOUT THE SKILLS, EXPERTISE, AND COMPASSION OF HACKENSACKUMC'S EXTRAORDINARY TEAM OF CANCER CARE EXPERTS. ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE EXTRAORDINARY CARE STARTS WITH EACH MEMBER OF ITS TEAM. HACKENSACKUMC PLEDGES TO PARTNER WITH PATIENTS IN THE FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES, AND TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SUPPORT THEM DURING THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH HACKENSACKUMC. PATIENTS ARE NOT A NUMBER TO HACKENSACKUMC, BUT A MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, AUNT, OR UNCLE. HACKENSACKUMC CARES FOR PATIENTS WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT AS HACKENSACKUMC MAKES THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER WITH PATIENTS. THE CANCER CENTER WORKS CLOSELY WITH SEVERAL CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE THAT OFFER DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CAPABILITIES THAT ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE AT OTHER CANCER FACILITIES IN NEW JERSEY. THESE INCLUDE THE WORLD-RENOWNED ADULT BLOOD AND MARROW STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION PROGRAM; THE PROSTATE CANCER INSTITUTE OF NEW JERSEY; THE BETTY TORRICELLI INSTITUTE FOR BREAST CARE; THE INSTITUTE FOR RADIOSURGERY; THE COLON CANCER PREVENTION CENTER; AND THE DEPARTMENT OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY. THE CANCER CENTER IS THE FIRST CANCER CENTER IN NEW JERSEY TO ACQUIRE A NEW, CUTTING EDGE RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES A RADICALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO TREATING CANCER WITH IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY (IGRT) KNOWN AS THE TRUEBEAM SYSTEM. THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM ALLOWS THE JOHN THEURER CANCER CENTER TO OFFER EVEN FASTER TREATMENTS, ENHANCED ACCURACY, AND QUICKER IMAGING AT LOWER DOSES. BASIC RESEARCH -------------- BASIC RESEARCH STUDIES AT THE CANCER CENTER AND HACKENSACKUMC'S ON-SITE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO THE ORIGINS OF CANCER AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL, HOW AND WHY CELLS PROGRESS INTO CANCER, AND THE BASIC BIOLOGY OF GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE, A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY FATAL SIDE EFFECT OF STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION. STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION IS USED TO TREAT HEMATOLOGICAL (BLOOD) CANCERS, SUCH AS LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA; CANCERS THAT INVOLVE SOLID TUMORS, SUCH AS BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCER; SERIOUS BLOOD DISORDERS; AND IMMUNE SYSTEM DEFICIENCIES. CLINICAL TRIALS OFFER INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS ------------------------------------------- AS A WORLD-CLASS FACILITY AND ACADEMIC HOSPITAL, THE CANCER CENTER IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN CLINICAL TRIALS THAT BRING RESEARCH ADVANCES DIRECTLY TO PATIENTS.

EMERGENCY SERVICES / TRAUMA --------------------------- THE JEFFREY M. CREAMER EMERGENCY/TRAUMA DEPARTMENT ("ETD") IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND TREATS ALL AGES AND ALL MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IN 2012, 86,489 PATIENTS VISITED THE ETD (INCLUDING THE ETD AT HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY) WHICH RESULTED IN 20,205 ADMISSIONS. THERE IS ALSO A SEPARATE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM THAT SAW 37,080 VISITS (INCLUDING THE PEDIATRIC ETD AT HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY) IN 2012, WHICH RESULTED IN 2,676 ADMISSIONS. THE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM IS STAFFED BY PHYSICIANS AND NURSES SPECIALTY-TRAINED IN PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE. THE TAKE-A-BREAK PROGRAM NOW SEEMS LIKE AN OBVIOUS IDEA. THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ACCOMPANY THEIR LOVED ONES TO EMERGENCY ROOMS CAN ALMOST ALWAYS BENEFIT FROM A SHORT BREAK - WHETHER TO PICK KIDS UP AT SCHOOL, MAKE A FEW PHONE CALLS OR JUST GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE. WHEN THE PROPOSAL WAS FIRST MADE TO SET UP A NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS WHO COULD SUPPORT FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND REPRESENT THEM IN THEIR ABSENCE, THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE IT ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. TODAY 50 VOLUNTEERS COVER EACH OF THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA DEPARTMENT'S THREE SHIFTS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. EMERGENCY SERVICES OPENED A SATELLITE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT HACKENSACKUMC NORTH IN OCTOBER 2008.

DISCLOSURE INFORMATION	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS AT LEAST ANNUALLY OVER SEVERAL MEETINGS, AND APPROVES ONLY "TOTAL COMPENSATION" THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS CONCLUDED DOES NOT EXCEED WHAT THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS TO BE REASONABLE COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEE STRUCTURES AND CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS SO AS TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW. THIS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS APPLIES TO ALL FORMS OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, EACH OF WHOM IS "DISINTERESTED" AS DEFINED BY THE IRS IN ITS REGULATIONS DESCRIBING THIS STANDARD. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEW OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS DETAILED STUDY USES COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA FOR TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS OF A SIMILAR LEVEL OF NET ANNUAL OPERATING REVENUE IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHIC REGION. NO DATA FROM ANY FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES IS USED. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS USED BY THE COMMITTEE, INCLUDING ALL ACTIONS DESIGNED TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS, IS APPLIED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED 'DISQUALIFIED PERSONS' UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES. IN ADDITION TO RELYING ON MARKET DATA, THE COMMITTEE APPLIES A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESS JUDGMENT FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION FACTORS, AND THE UNIQUE DEMANDS OF PARTICULAR POSITIONS.
