The earnings off of the permanent amount are expendable, based on the specific use of the fund.
Inclusion In The Consolidated Audit of Highmark Health West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. (WPAHS) does not issue independent audited financial statements. WPAHS is a component of the Highmark Health consolidated audited financial statements. 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: financial statements $125,399,891 Add: Net loss from LLC (222,887) Plus: Income and expense reclassified from restricted net assets on the financial statements to unrestricted income and expense on Form 990 18,474,852 Less: Unrealized gains reflected in unrestricted income on the financial statements and reclassified to net assets on Form 990 (1,128,015) ___________ Net income per Form 990 $142,523,841 Highmark Health records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by defining criteria that a tax position on an individual matter must meet before that position is recognized. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and accounting in interim periods. The following is the footnote to the audited consolidated financial statements of Highmark Health for FASB ASC 740: At December 31, 2014 and 2013, gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) were $150,575,000 and 147,685,000, respectively, and, if recognized, would have impacted the effective tax rate.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Line 5 Input From Persons Who Represent the Community For the Community Health Needs Assessment, WPAHS, Inc. formed steering committees that consisted of: community leaders representing the broad interests of the community as well as underserved constituencies, individuals with expertise in public health, hospital board members, physicians and internal system and hospital leaders and managers. The hospital took into account input from individuals by interviews and focus groups that captured personal perspectives from community members, providers and leaders with insight and expertise. To assist with the CHNA process, WPAHS, Inc. retained a planning and research firm. Schedule H, Part V, Line 11 Addressing the Needs Identified In the CHNA The hospital is addressing the significant needs identified in the most recent CHNA by community education, outreach and health screening, physician and Emergency Medical Services outreach and training and programs to help patients navigate the continuum of care. Some needs identified in the most recently conducted Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) are not addressed by implementation strategy programs because existing hospital and community resources work to address these needs. West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. evaluated all top priority needs and put forth plans to address the needs we felt we were best positioned to make a positive impact for the betterment of the health of the communities we serve. Various needs outlined in the CHNA will not be addressed through these planning efforts. These needs will not be addressed as a result of prioritization efforts, which included individuals with expertise in public health and representatives of underserved populations, the need was ranked low for any one or more of the following reasons: 1) the hospital was not identified as the accountable entity; 2) the need falls outside of the hospital area of expertise; 3) the issue is already being addressed by existing community assets; or 4) necessary internal resources to meet the need are lacking. Schedule H, Part V, Line 13h West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. is part of the integrated delivery system named Allegheny Health Network. In 2014, West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. adopted the Allegheny Health Network Financial Assistance Policy. During 2014, Allegheny Health Network enhanced its Financial Assistance Policy with a Presumptive eligibility program that enables AHN to make an informed decision on the financial need of patients utilizing the best estimates available in the absence of information provided directly by the patient. The Health system utilizes a healthcare industry-recognized model that is based on public record databases. This predictive model incorporates public record data to calculate a socio-economic and financial capacity score that includes estimates for income, assets and liquidity. The electronic technology is designed to assess each patient to the same standards and is calibrated against historical approvals for AHN financial assistance under the traditional application process. The electronic technology is deployed prior to bad debt assignment after all other eligibility and payment sources have been exhausted. This allows AHN to screen all patients for financial assistance prior to pursuing any extraordinary collection actions. The data returned from this electronic eligibility review will constitute adequate documentation of financial need under our policy. When electronic enrollment is used as the basis for presumptive eligibility, the highest discount of full free care is granted for eligible services for retrospective dates of service only.
Schedule H, Part V, Line 22d Charges For Medical Care 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.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 3 All uninsured patients qualify for discounted care. There is no income or asset test to qualify. Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 and Line 4 Bad Debt Expense Financial Statement Footnote and Costing Methodology 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.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 and Line 9b Collection Practices For Patients Who Qualify For Financial Assistance 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. Medicare Shortfall as a Community Benefit and Costing Methodology West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. receives overall reimbursement from Medicare less than the cost of the services provided. As such, we consider the shortfall a community benefit. The source used to determine the amount reported on Line 6 is the medicare cost report.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Health Needs Assessment 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. has completed a formal community health needs assessment (CHNA) for each Hospital in 2012. This assessment was done separately for each hospital. Each Hospital had a CHNA steering committee assigned that consisted of: community leaders, individuals with expertise in public health, hospital board members, physicians and internal hospital leaders and managers. The steering committees met between July 2012 and April 2013 to provide guidance on various components of the CHNA. The CHNA involved systematically analyzing demographic and other health-related data, considering local, state and national health goals, and understanding existing community health resources and programs. The West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. - Allegheny General Hospital (WPAHS, Inc. - AGH) addressed the following community health needs: heart disease and high blood pressure, diabetes, breast, lung and colon cancers. Early screening is incorporated into all implementation strategy programs and WPAHS, Inc.- AGH engages in early screening through existing community outreach and health screening efforts. The areas of mental health service access and flu and pneumonia were not addressed by implementation strategy programs because existing hospital and community resources work to address these needs. WPAHS, Inc. - AGH evaluated all top priority needs and put forth plans to address the needs we felt we were best positioned to make a positive impact for the betterment of the health of the communities we serve. The West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. - Western Pennsylvania Hospital (WPAHS, Inc. - WPH) addressed the following community health needs: cardiovascular disease, diabetes and breast cancer. Early screening is incorporated into all implementation strategy programs and WPAHS, Inc.- WPH engages in early screening through existing community outreach and health screening efforts. The area of flu and pneumonia were not addressed by its implementation strategy programs because existing hospital and/or community resources work to address these needs. WPAHS, Inc. - WPH evaluated all top priority needs and put forth plans to address the needs we felt we were best positioned to make a positive impact for the betterment of the health of the communities we serve. The West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. - Forbes Regional Hospital (WPAHS, Inc. - FRH) addressed the community health need of diabetes. Early screening is incorporated into the implementation strategy program and WPAHS, Inc.- FRH engages in early screening through existing community outreach and health screening efforts. The areas of mental health services, flu and pneumonia, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, obesity, breast cancer and bronchus/ lung cancer were not addressed by implementation strategy programs because existing hospital and community resources work to address these needs. WPAHS, Inc. - FRH evaluated all top priority needs and put forth plans to address the needs we felt we were best positioned to make a positive impact for the betterment of the health of the communities we serve. The WPAHS, Inc. board of directors approved and implemented the CHNA plans on October 31, 2013. All WPAHS, Inc. Community Health Needs Assessments can be viewed at: www.ahn.org.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient Education For Eligibility For Assistance 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. During the preservice process, patients are evaluated to determine financial assistance options.

The above support is available at no charge to the patient.
