Established in 1970, USCs Med-COR Program, which stands for Medical Counseling Organizing and Recruiting, works with high school students of color to help prepare them for careers in the health professions. Students are provided structured academic enrichment in the areas of mathematics, science, and English as well as academic counseling, SAT assistance, and summer internships at local hospitals. The program serves students from four local schools: Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School, King-Drew Medical Magnet High School, Orthopaedic Hospital Medical Magnet High School and Van Nuys High School. Each year, the hospitals also host a Minority Outreach Enrichment day, whereby approximately a dozen directors of non-clinical fields at the hospitals shared their career paths and daily job duties with 35 students, offering mentorship and internships. Additionally, hospital leaders participated in a number of health care career awareness events to increase interest among minority and low-income youth.
PART III, LINE 2:	The determination of charity care generally should be made at the time of admission, or shortly thereafter. However, events after discharge may change the ability of the patient to pay. Designation as Charity Care will only be considered after all payment sources have been exhausted. Hospital charges for patient accounts identified as Charity Care at the time of admission or service are not recognized by the facility as net revenues or net receivables. If patient accounts are identified as Charity Care subsequent to the facility recognizing the charges as revenue, an adjustment is required to classify appropriately the revenue and any bad debt expense previously recorded. PART III, LINE 4: NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD PARTY PAYORS, GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND OTHERS IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. THE MAJORITY OF THE HOSPITALS' SERVICES ARE RENDERED TO PATIENTS WITH COMMERCIAL OR MANAGED CARE INSURANCE, OR UNDER THE FEDERAL MEDICARE AND CALIFORNIA STATE MEDICAL PROGRAMS. REIMBURSEMENT FROM THESE VARIOUS PAYORS IS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES, DISCOUNTS FROM CHARGES AND HISTORICAL COSTS. Amounts received under the Medicare program are subject to retroactive settlements based on review and final determination by program intermediaries or their agents. Provisions for contractual adjustments and retroactive settlements related to thOse payOrs are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as additional information becomes known or as final settlements are determined. The allowanceS for doubtful accounts ARE based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering historical business and economic conditions. Periodically throughout the year management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
PART III, LINE 8:	The Medicare shortfall of ($68,530,777) reported in Part III, Line 7 should be treated as a community benefit because the rates paid by Medicare do not accurately reflect the cost of care provided by the Hospitals. Accordingly, the Hospital must subsidize the cost of care provided to Medicare Beneficiaries with other revenues. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO CALCULATE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 6 WAS USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 9B:	As part of its mission, the Hospitals provide services and a broad array of benefits to the community. The Hospitals' patient acceptance policy is based on its mission statement and its community services responsibilities. Accordingly, the Hospitals accept patients in immediate need of care, regardless of their ability to pay. The Hospitals do not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care based on established policies of the Hospitals. These policies define charity services as those services for which no payment is due for all or a portion of the patient's bill from the patient. See also SCHEDULE H, Part III, Line 4.
PART VI, LINE 2:	NEEDS ASSESSMENT: FOR TAX YEAR 2012, KECK HOSPITAL OF USC AND USC NORRIS CANCER HOSPITAL UNDERTOOK A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA LAW (SB 697).

THE ASSESSMENT INCORPORATES COMPONENTS OF PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION AND SECONDARY DATA ANALYSIS THAT FOCUS ON THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF THE SERVICE AREA.

Return Reference	Explanation
Form 990, PART I, LINE 1 and Part III, Line 1	The central mission of the University of Southern California is the development of human beings and society as a whole through the cultivation and enrichment of the human mind and spirit. The principal means by which our mission is accomplished are teaching, research, artistic creation, professional practice and selected forms of public service. Our first priority as faculty and staff is the education of our students, from freshmen to postdoctorals, through a broad array of academic, professional, extracurricular and athletic programs of the first rank. The integration of liberal and professional learning is one of USC's special strengths. We strive constantly for excellence in teaching knowledge and skills to our students, while at the same time helping them to acquire wisdom and insight, love of truth and beauty, moral discernment, understanding of self, and respect and appreciation for others. Research of the highest quality by our faculty and students is fundamental to our mission. USC is one of a very small number of premier academic institutions in which research and teaching are inextricably intertwined, and on which the nation depends for a steady stream of new knowledge, art and technology. Our faculty are not simply teachers of the works of others, but active contributors to what is taught, thought and practiced throughout the world. USC is pluralistic, welcoming outstanding men and women of every race, creed and background. We are a global institution in a global center, attracting more international students over the years than any other American university. And we are private, unfettered by political control, strongly committed to academic freedom, and proud of our entrepreneurial heritage. An extraordinary closeness and willingness to help one another are evident among USC students, alumni, faculty, and staff; indeed, for those within its compass the Trojan Family is a genuinely supportive community. Alumni, trustees, volunteers and friends of USC are essential to this family tradition, providing generous financial support, participating in university governance, and assisting students at every turn. In our surrounding neighborhoods and around the globe, USC provides public leadership and public service in such diverse fields as health care, economic development, social welfare, scientific research, public policy and the arts. We also serve the public interest by being the largest private employer in the city of Los Angeles, as well as the city's largest export industry in the private sector. USC has played a major role in the development of Southern California for more than a century, and plays an increasingly important role in the development of the nation and the world. We expect to continue to play these roles for many centuries to come. Thus our planning, commitments and fiscal policies are directed toward building quality and excellence in the long term.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11(B)	The University of Southern California's Form 990 is reviewed at several levels.

Among those who conduct the review of the final Form 990 at the University include MANAGEMENT, external counsel and the AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. The review of Form 990 is conducted prior to it being filed and A FINAL COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS provided to each member of the governing board before it is filed.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12	THE UNIVERSITY MAINTAINS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS PRACTICES POLICY AND PROCEDURE WHICH COVERS ALL COVERED EMPLOYEES AND THEIR CLOSE RELATIONS. A "COVERED EMPLOYEE" MEANS ALL FACULTY MEMBERS (INCLUDING PART-TIME AND VISITING FACULTY), STAFF AND OTHER EMPLOYEES (SUCH AS POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLARS), AND STUDENTS (INCLUDING POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS) EMPLOYED OR OTHERWISE ENGAGED BY THE UNIVERSITY. THIS POLICY CONTINUES TO APPLY TO COVERED EMPLOYEES WHILE ON SABBATICAL OR OTHER LEAVES OR ON VACATION, WHILE VISITING OTHER INSTITUTIONS, AND WHILE CONSULTING WITH EXTERNAL ENTITIES. A "CLOSE RELATION" MEANS SPOUSES, DOMESTIC PARTNERS, AND PARENTS, CHILDREN, SIBLINGS AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SPOUSES OR DOMESTIC PARTNERS. EACH COVERED EMPLOYEE OWES PROFESSIONAL LOYALTY TO THE UNIVERSITY AND WILL BE ALERT TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT OUTSIDE OBLIGATIONS, FINANCIAL INTERESTS, EMPLOYMENT, AND CERTAIN FAMILY OR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS CAN AFFECT THAT COMMITMENT. THEREFORE, ALL COVERED EMPLOYEES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THEY, OR THEIR CLOSE RELATIONS, HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR COMMITMENT COVERED BY THIS POLICY. BECAUSE NO POLICY CAN ANTICIPATE THE FULL RANGE OF OUTSIDE RELATIONSHIPS AND ACTIVITIES THAT MAY GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OR COMMITMENT, COVERED EMPLOYEES MUST DISCLOSE ANY OUTSIDE RELATIONSHIP OR ACTIVITY THAT MAY GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT AS SOON AS FEASIBLE AFTER DISCOVERY OF THE CONFLICT. THE UNIVERSITY MUST DETERMINE WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND/OR COMMITMENT IS MANAGEABLE BEFORE A COVERED EMPLOYEE MAY UNDERTAKE THE ACTIVITY GIVING RISE TO THE CONFLICT. THE COVERED EMPLOYEE MUST COMPLY WITH ALL MEASURES PUT IN PLACE TO MANAGE, REDUCE, OR ELIMINATE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THIS INCLUDES ANY REQUIREMENT THAT THE COVERED EMPLOYEE PROVIDE A FOLLOW-UP DISCLOSURE AT A REASONABLE TIME INTERVAL AFTER HIS OR HER INITIAL DISCLOSURE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR COMMITMENT, AND THE COVERED EMPLOYEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH THE MEASURES PUT IN PLACE TO MANAGE IT. ALL DISCLOSURES AS WELL AS DECISIONS ON HOW TO MANAGE THE CONFLICT SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED AND MAINTAINED BY THE PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO WHOM DISCLOSURE IS MADE, AS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS POLICY. THIS POLICY DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, PROVOST OR DEAN, AS APPROPRIATE, FROM REQUIRING A COVERED EMPLOYEE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR COMMITMENT INFORMATION OR TO DO SO ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS (E.G., BI-ANNUALLY). IF A COVERED EMPLOYEE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER AN OUTSIDE ACTIVITY MUST BE DISCLOSED, THE COVERED EMPLOYEE SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER SUPERVISOR, OR CONTACT THE OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE FOR GUIDANCE. SUPERVISORS WHO BECOME AWARE THAT COVERED EMPLOYEES UNDER THEIR SUPERVISION HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OR COMMITMENT COVERED BY THIS POLICY ARE OBLIGATED TO ENSURE THAT THE CONFLICT IS APPROPRIATELY DISCLOSED. In addition to the procedures set forth in the universitys Conflict of Interest in Professional and Business Practices Policy, USCs Procurement Services department may identify actual or potential conflicts of interest or commitment in the course of performing its duties. In the event that Procurement Services identifies an actual or potential conflict of interest or commitment, it requires the covered employee to make a disclosure under the Conflict of Interest in Professional and Business Practices Policy, and verifies that all actual conflicts are managed before proceeding with a transaction where a conflict has been identified. Depending upon the potential magnitude of the issue, Procurement Services may also refer the issue to the senior vice president for administration or his or her designee, for resolution. PURCHASING SERVICES MAY SUSPEND ANY FURTHER ACTION ON THE REQUEST THAT INITIATED THE DISCLOSURE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE CONFLICT IS MANAGED. IN ADDITION TO THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE, A UNIVERSITY FACULTY MEMBER OR NON-FACULTY EMPLOYEE IS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN THE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE PROVOST AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS OR SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADMINISTRATION BEFORE HE OR SHE MAY ENDORSE OR AUTHORIZE ENDORSEMENT OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY. ASSISTANCE IN MANAGING POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST FOR NON-FACULTY EMPLOYEES IS AVAILABLE FROM THE MANAGER OF PERSONNEL SERVICES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ON THE UNIVERSITY PARK CAMPUS; OR, FOR NON-FACULTY EMPLOYEES ON THE HEALTH SCIENCES CAMPUS, THE DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL SERVICES. FOR FACULTY, ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FROM THE VICE PROVOST FOR FACULTY AFFAIRS. THE OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL OR THE OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE ALSO MAY BE CONSULTED FOR ASSISTANCE. FAILURE TO DISCLOSE AND MANAGE ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST UNDER THIS POLICY, INCLUDING THE EXPECTATIONS DETAILED ABOVE ABOUT WHAT AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO, MAY BE CAUSE FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION, WHICH MAY RESULT IN TERMINATION. FOR FACULTY, SUCH ACTION SHALL OBSERVE ALL PROVISIONS OF THE POLICIES PUBLISHED IN THE FACULTY HANDBOOK. ANY DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST A FACULTY MEMBER OR NON-FACULTY EMPLOYEE UNDER THIS POLICY MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SCALE OF THE OFFENSE, THE INDIVIDUAL'S INTENT, AND THE DEGREE OF WRONGDOING. THE UNIVERSITY MAINTAINS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IN GENERAL, THE POLICY REQUIRES THAT A TRUSTEE MUST AVOID USING HIS OR HER POSITION FOR PERSONAL GAIN OR ADVANTAGE, OR TO OBTAIN A FAVORED STATUS FOR ANY SPECIAL GROUP, BUSINESS OR FAMILY ENTITY WITH WHICH THE TRUSTEE IS AFFILIATED. THE POLICY APPLIES TO ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. A TRUSTEE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE POLICY FOR FIVE YEARS AFTER LEAVING THE BOARD. IF A TRUSTEE BECOMES AWARE OF A FINANCIAL INTEREST THAT MAY BE MATERIAL, HE OR SHE IS REQUIRED TO IMMEDIATELY DISCLOSE THAT FINANCIAL INTEREST TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. SUCH DISCLOSURE IS IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIRED ANNUAL DISCLOSURES. - AFTER CONDUCTING A REASONABLE INVESTIGATION UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, WHICH SHOULD INCLUDE AN ANALYSIS OF COMPARABLE ARRANGEMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS OR THE RECEIPT OF AN OPINION FROM AN EXPERT IN THE RELEVANT FIELD, THE BOARD SHOULD DETERMINE IN GOOD FAITH WHETHER USC COULD OBTAIN A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT OR TRANSACTION WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS FROM A PERSON OR ENTITY THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. - IN ADDITION, THE BOARD SHOULD DETERMINE BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED MEMBERS, WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE MATERIAL FACTS CONCERNING THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT OR TRANSACTION AND THE TRUSTEE'S FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE ARRANGEMENT OR TRANSACTION, WHETHER THE ARRANGEMENT OR TRANSACTION IS IN USC'S BEST INTEREST, FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT AND IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO USC. THE BOARD SHOULD MAKE ITS DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THE ARRANGEMENT OR TRANSACTION IN CONFORMITY WITH SUCH DETERMINATION. - SHOULD THE BOARD APPROVE THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT OR TRANSACTION IN QUESTION, THE TRUSTEE WHO HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WILL BE REQUIRED TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH AND WITH FAIRNESS, AND TO REFRAIN FROM EXERTING UNDUE PRESSURE OR INFLUENCE. IN THE BOARD'S DISCRETION, IT MAY ALSO REQUIRE SUCH TRUSTEE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE OVERSIGHT OF A DISINTERESTED TRUSTEE. THIS POLICY HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD.
