Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Part I, Line 7:	Costing Methodology - Charity Care:The costing methodology used to calculate Charity Care and certain other community benefit costs reported was based on an overall cost-to-charge ratio for all patient populations. The cost to charge ratio was calculated using IRS worksheet 2.
Form 990, Schedule H, Part I, Line 7(k), Column (f)	Community Benefit Expense:The total community benefit expense using Part I, Line 7, Column (c) (before direct offsetting revenue) as a percentage of total expenses is 27.24%.
Part III, Line 2:	Costing Methodology - Bad Debt Expense: Lines 2 & 3:The costing methodology used to calculate bad debt expense reported in Part III, Lines 2 and 3 was based on an overall cost-to-charge ratio for all patient populations. Discounts and payments on accounts considered as bad debt offset the total bad debt expense recorded. Process to determine amount of bad debt attributable to individuals eligible for financial assistance - The accounts that have not been paid are first reviewed under a presumptive charity policy. For those accounts that do not meet presumptive eligibility criteria, it is estimated that 3% of the balances are attributable to individuals who would qualify for financial assistance. This estimate is based on experience of patient accounting management as well as a methodical review of outstanding patient accounts.
Part III, Line 4:	Audited Financial Statements:The audited financial statements of Vanderbilt University disclose the consolidated amount of bad debt expense, the preponderant portion of which is attributable to its hospitals and clinics. This information is contained in Footnote 3, Accounts Receivable, on page 22 of the audited financial statements.
Part III, Line 8:	Costing Methodology - Medicare Allowable Costs:The methodology for determining Medicare allowable costs consisted of applying an overall hospital cost-to-charge ratio to gross Medicare charges from the hospital billing system. The resulting shortfall is entirely deemed as community benefit because the cost of providing related care consistently exceeds reimbursement from Medicare. The hospital accepts all Medicare patients with the knowledge that there may be shortfalls and operates to promote the health of the community. The organization believes the Medicare shortfall should be treated as a community benefit because Medicare does not fully compensate hospitals for the cost of providing hospital care to Medicare beneficiaries.In FY15, such shortfalls amounted to $69,382,322.
Part III, Line 9b:	Collection Practices:Although Vanderbilt University's policies do not contain provisions on the collection practices to be followed for patients who are known to qualify for financial assistance, in practice, if a patient qualifies for a 100% charity care write off, the account is closed and no further collection efforts are made. If a patient qualifies for a partial charity care write off, the account is reduced for the applicable charity discount and normal collection efforts are made. The extraordinary collection actions that may be taken, after reasonable efforts are made to ensure a patient is not eligible for financial assistance on the remaining balance, include: - A Lien - Attachment or seizure of a bank account or other personal property - Commencement of a civil action against an individual - Wage garnishment
Form 990, Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2:	Needs Assessment:Vanderbilt continually assesses the health care needs of the communities it serves. The Vanderbilt Patient and Family Advisory Council is a committee made up of community volunteers which partners with Vanderbilt's health care team and leadership to assess needs and evaluate services and programs. The Council serves as a vital link between the hospital and the community. Vanderbilt also performed an internal survey of community health related program managers regarding perceptions of community health needs for children and adults. To make use of the data and assessments, Vanderbilt formed an internal committee of program managers and hospital leaders which meets regularly. Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital have also formed an advisory committee which meets to continually assess the needs of the community and drive improvements in care and processes for the communities they serve. Vanderbilt further assesses the health care needs of the communities it serves by playing an active role in groups such as the Healthy Nashville Leadership Council, Williamson County Health Council, and the Rutherford County Wellness Council. Vanderbilt carefully reviews the many health care needs assessments published by these local groups (Alignment Nashville, Saint Thomas Health, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, Metro Social Services, Healthy Nashville, and the TN Department of Health, among others) to help gauge the needs and resources within the community. In addition, Vanderbilt has developed partnerships with the state department of health to stay abreast of important community health care needs.
Form 990, Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3, Facility 1:	Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance:Patients are notified of potential assistance under Federal, State or local government programs or under the organization's charity care policy via signage posted in the patient care registration points including hospitals, emergency departments, and clinics; brochures available at registration points; and language included on all statements mailed to patients advising them we have a financial assistance program if they need help paying their medical bills. Pre-Admitting, Registration, or Billing personnel may refer uninsured or low income patients to financial counseling personnel to discuss qualifications for free or discounted care.Form 990, Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Facility 2:Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance:A summary of the Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital policy is posted in the main elevator to the patient care units.
Form 990, Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4, Facility 1:	Community Information:The Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), located in Nashville, Tennessee, serves Tennessee, northern Alabama and southern Kentucky.

Explanation

Part I, Line 2:

Subrecipient grants - Vanderbilt University maintains a formal policy defining its procedures for monitoring the use of sponsored funds by subrecipients who are performing a portion of a sponsored project externally awarded to Vanderbilt. The policy provides guidance to ensure that subrecipients conduct their portions of sponsored projects in compliance with laws, regulations, terms and conditions of awards and subawards, and that reimbursed costs incurred by subrecipients are allowed. The policy addresses the roles and responsibilities of central offices and academic departments of the University and describes the monitoring procedures for each area. The full text of Vanderbilt's subrecipient policy is available online at the following web address: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/ocga/vupolicies/subrecipient /SubrecipientMonitoringGuidelinesfinal.pdf Other Assistance - Assistance offered from institutional funds by Vanderbilt to our students is awarded on the basis of merit and/or financial need. Such assistance helps students and their families support the cost of attendance which includes tuition, mandatory fees, room & board, books, other course materials/supplies, and allowances for personal/miscellaneous and travel expenses. Merit-based awards are competitively awarded in recognition of academic achievement, leadership, commitment to community service, contributions to society, and other forms of accomplishment. Need-based assistance is awarded on the basis of documented financial need, resulting from a need analysis evaluation accomplished in accordance with relevant and applicable federal, state, and/or institutional programs, policies, and eligibility requirements. Financial Aid - The units responsible for administering student financial aid at Vanderbilt regularly initiate system-generated reviews, as well as other cross-checks on an ad hoc basis. Results from these reviews, along with recurring management reports, are regularly evaluated. Subsequently, follow-up corrective actions are taken when appropriate and potentially include award revisions or cancellations. These provisions are designed to help ensure that student assistance funds are awarded to eligible recipients, in accordance with applicable federal, state, institutional, and other program legislation, as well as relevant internal University policies and operational guidelines/criteria.

Return Reference	Explanation
Part I, Line 1a	Vanderbilt excludes the benefits from taxable income when a documented business purpose is served. First-class or charter travel - Travelers should fly via commercial airline and work to obtain the lowest fare possible. If an airline provides business class or first class seating and the length of an individual flight segment is more than four hours, the traveler may petition his/her vice Chancellor and with this written approval purchase a business or first class ticket. In cases where it is not possible to fly commercial due to scheduling commitments, and the travel is of the highest importance, travelers may request that the Chancellor approve a charter flight, after weighing the benefits of the trip against the cost of the charter. The Board of trust has approved the first class travel or charter for the Chancellor when necessitated by his schedule. Per Vanderbilt's athletics travel policy, the Vice Chancellor for University Affairs and Athletics can approve non-student travel on team charter flights, when there are extra seats, without requiring reimbursement to the university since the charter fee is not determined by the number of actual passengers. Five officers, two highest compensated employees and one trustee received first-class or charter travel benefits that were not included in taxable compensation. Travel for companion - One officer and one highest compensated employee received travel for companion benefits that were not included in taxable compensation. One officer received travel for companion benefits that were included in taxable compensation. Tax indemnification and gross-up payments - Two former officers and one highest compensated employee received tax indemnification and/or gross-up payment benefits that were included in taxable income. Housing allowance or residence for personal use - One highest compensated employee received a housing allowance or a residence for personal use that was included in taxable compensation. Health or social club dues or initiaion fees - One highest compensated employee, one key employee and two officers received health or social club dues or initiation fees benefits that were included in taxable compensation. One officer and one key employee received health or social club dues or initiation fees benefits that were not included in taxable compensation.
Part I, Line 4b	Certain individuals listed in Form 990, Schedule J, Part II, participate in nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Amounts contributed to the plans include fixed %s of annual bonus payments, and fixed dollar amounts. Contributions to the plan vest when individuals complete their contract term or continue employment to a designated date. Current year accruals of compensation associated with these plans are included in the amounts reported for such individuals in Schedule J, Part II, Column (C). The payout of these amounts in future years will be included in the amounts reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column (B)(iii) for such individuals. Amounts accrued in prior years and previously reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column (C) will be reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column (F). Four payouts were made under these plans to participating individuals in 2014. - Jeff Balser - $1,300,000 - John Manning - $ 500,000 - Charles W. Pinson - $ 900,000 - Kevin Stallings - $1,073,245
Part I, Line 7	Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos achieved various incentive goals where judgment was determined by the Board of Trust. Total incentive compensation earned from these measures was $70,125 and is included in his 2014 W-2. The following individuals achieved various incentive goals where judgment was determined by the Chancellor or the Board of Trust. Total incentive compensation earned from these measures during 2014 for each individual follows, and is included in their respective 2014 W-2s. Former Vice-Chancellor for Administration - Jerry Fife - $2,604; Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and Current Professor of Psychology - Richard C. McCarty - $14,591; Vice Chancellor for Finance and Chief Financial Officer - Brett C. Sweet - $56,808; Vice Chancellor for Athletics and University Affairs and Athletics Director - David Williams, II - $20,744;

Form 990, Schedule K, Part I, Column (f)	Description of Purpose: 1st group (Series 2012D&E, 2012A,B&C, 2009A&B & 2008A&B) Row A - To refund a portion of series 2000A bonds (issued on January 20, 2005); a portion of the series 2005A bonds (issued on January 20, 2005); and a portion of tax-exempt commercial paper. Row B - To refund series 2000B bonds (issued on May 16, 2000); series 2003A bonds (issued on May 29, 2003); a portion of the series 2005A bonds (issued on January 20, 2005); and the series 2001A&B bonds (both issued January 1, 2001). Row C - To refund tax-exempt commercial paper (issued on June 28, 2007) used to finance various capital projects; refund series 2005 B-1 & B-2 bonds (both issued on January 20, 2005); finance various capital improvements; to pay for costs associated with issuance of bonds. Row D - To refund tax-exempt commercial paper (issued on June 28, 2007) used to finance capital projects of the University and Hospitals; to pay for costs associated with issuance of bonds. 2nd group (CP Program 5) Row A - To refund series 2005B bonds (issued on January 20, 2005 and June 28, 2007); to finance various capital projects and improvements.
Form 990, Schedule K, Part II, Line 3,	Proceeds: Differences between Part I, Column (e) and Part II, Line 3 is investment earnings.
Form 990, Schedule K, Part III, Lines 4, 5, & 6	Private Business Use: Vanderbilt University is reporting private business use percentages on a net basis. Reporting on a net basis means that private business use has been allocated to the equity portion of any debt-financed buildings and equipment where private business use has occurred. In Vanderbilt's case, equity has substantially exceeded relatively minor private business use, resulting in zero reported amounts on a net basis.
Form 990, Schedule K, Part III, Line 8a - 8c	Sale or Disposition of Bond-Financed Property: Vanderbilt University calculates the percentage of sale or disposition of bond-financed property by using all disposed property in the numerator without considering if the property was sold to a private organization or disposed of in the regular course of business. This provides for a more conservative calculation. The assets that have been disposed of consist of small equipment. No bond-financed buildings or large equipment have been sold. It is not Vanderbilt's policy to sell any bond-financed assets to a nongovernmental person other than a 501(c)(3) organization.
Form 990, Schedule K, Part III, Line 8b	Percentage of Bond-Financed Property: 1st group (Series 2012D&E, 2012A,B&C, 2009A&B) Column A - Since a portion of series 2012D&E bonds refinanced series 2005A&B bonds, the portion of series 2005A&B bonds that have been disposed of is allocated to series 2012D&E bonds. Column B - Since a portion of series 2012A,B&C bonds refinanced series 2005A&B bonds, the portion of series 2005A&B bonds that have been disposed of is allocated to series 2012A,B&C bonds. Column C - Since a portion of series 2009A&B bonds refinanced series 2005A&B bonds, the portion of series 2005A&B bonds that have been disposed of is allocated to series 2009A&B bonds. 2nd group (CP Program 5) Column A - Since a portion of the CP Program 5 bonds refinanced the series 2005A&B bonds, the portion of series 2005A&B bonds that have been disposed of is allocated to the CP Program 5 bonds.

Return Reference	Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1	-Number of Voting Members of the Governing Body: John D. Arnold resigned from the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust in November 2014. As such, a discrepancy exists between the number of voting members listed on Part VI, Line 1a, 33, from the number of trustees listed on Part VII, Column A, 34.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4	- Modified the composition of the Audit Committee and language relating to Audit Committee procedures; - Modified language relating to Compensation Committee procedures and modified responsibilities; - Modified the composition of the Executive Committee; and - Modified the composition and responsibilities of the Governance and Board Affairs Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11	- Complete Copy of Form 990 to Governing Body: The Form 990 is prepared by Vanderbilt University and provided to PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University's independent accounting firm for review. After review by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University provides a draft copy of the Form 990 and all required schedules for review to all General Officers, which includes the Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer. Once this review process is complete, all trustees are provided electronic access to the draft Form 990 and all required schedules for review. The final Form 990 and all required schedules are made available to the full Board of Trust for review via Boardbooks prior to the filing of the return.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	- Conflict of Interest: Vanderbilt University requires that for any faculty or staff member disclosing a potential conflict of interest, the conflict be reviewed by the individual's manager, as well as by the conflict of interest and commitment management office or Vanderbilt University Medical Center faculty affairs office, and the reported conflict be managed, reduced, or eliminated. The manager is required to respond that any recommended management plan has been implemented or that the reported conflict no longer exists. For those conflicts in which Vanderbilt may have an institutional interest, those in which human subject research is performed, or those deemed unmanageable, the University Conflicts Committee reviews and determines appropriate actions. The University Conflicts Committee members are appointed by the chancellor and are made up of a faculty member representing each of the university schools, the vice chancellor for administration, the director of technology transfer, the director of the institutional review board, the assistant vice chancellor of internal audit, and the heads of research for both the university and medical center. The University Conflicts Committee is chaired by the vice chancellor for university affairs and athletics, general counsel, and secretary of the university. The University Conflicts Committee reports bi-annually to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trust the matters brought before the committee and the resulting actions. Board of Trust members and senior executive management of the university also must complete annual conflict of interest disclosures and management plans are developed to manage, reduce, or eliminate any potential conflicts of interest. Trustees are notified of their plans and the plans are thoroughly discussed with them to ensure compliance. Those with disclosed potential conflict of interest are presented to the Audit Committee of the board of trust, along with their respective management action plans, where applicable. Management plans may include restrictions on members such as recusing themselves during deliberations and decisions in which a potential conflict may exist, with the minutes of the meeting reflecting their recusal. Additionally, all members of the Vanderbilt community are required to disclose potential conflicts as they arise throughout the year. The same process noted above occurs for these disclosures.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	- Determining Compensation: To ensure that Vanderbilt is paying reasonable total compensation, is not violating the private inurement prohibition, which requires that none of the organization's income or assets unreasonably benefit any of its trustees, officers, or key employees, and is in compliance with the intermediate sanctions provisions with respect to the general officers, Vanderbilt's Board of Trust has designated a Compensation Committee made up of outside, independent, board members to review and recommend to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trust the total compensation annually for the general officers. The committee utilizes an outside consulting firm to provide expert information regarding industry-wide compensation norms and compliance with all Internal Revenue Service rules concerning executive compensation, including the Internal Revenue Code provision related to intermediate sanctions, deferred compensation, and private inurement. The Compensation Committee reviews the executive compensation philosophy and affirms that it is in line with the Board's expectation. The compensation of the general officers is disclosed in the annual Form 990, which is available to the public in accordance with regulations sections 301.6104(d)-1 through 3. Each year the total compensation review and recommendations are recorded in the minutes of the Compensation Committee meetings. The approval of the recommendations is recorded in the Executive Committee meetings. The full Board is informed annually of the total compensation of the general officers during private session.
