Supplemental Information
Provide the following information.
1 Required descriptions. Provide the descriptions required for Part I, lines 3c, 6a, and 7; Part II and Part III, lines 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9b.
2 Needs assessment. Describe how the organization assesses the health care needs of the communities it serves, in addition to any CHNAs reported in Part V, Section B.
3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance. Describe how the organization informs and educates patients and persons who may be billed for patient care about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state, or local government programs or under the organization’s financial assistance policy.
4 Community information. Describe the community the organization serves, taking into account the geographic area and demographic constituents it serves.
5 Promotion of community health. Provide any other information important to describing how the organization’s hospital facilities or other health care facilities further its exempt purpose by promoting the health of the community (e.g., open medical staff, community board, use of surplus funds, etc.).
6 Affiliated health care system. If the organization is part of an affiliated health care system, describe the respective roles of the organization and its affiliates in promoting the health of the communities served.
7 State filing of community benefit report. If applicable, identify all states with which the organization, or a related organization, files a community benefit report.
Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c NOT APPLICABLE AS THE ORGANIZATION DOES FOLLOW FPG TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR PROVIDING FEE CARE TO LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE ACCESSED AT: http://www.nebraskamed.com/about-us/community/community-benefit-report
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7G PHYSICIAN CLINICS WERE INCLUDED IN THE SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES CALCULATION RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE OF $2,142,226.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7, Column F The denominator used to calculate the percentage in column(f) is Form 990, Part IX, Line 25(a).
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 THESE NUMBERS ARE COMPUTED IN A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES A COST FOR EVERY SERVICE THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES. RELATIVE VALUE UNITS, FOR SEVEN CATEGORIES OF EXPENSE, ARE UPDATED ANNUALLY FOR EACH PATIENT SERVICE WHICH KEEPS THE COST ACCOUNTING CURRENT. THESE COSTS PER UNIT VALUES ARE APPLIED TO THE PATIENT UTILIZATION TO COMPUTE THE TOTAL COST. THE COST ACCOUNTED TOTAL IS TIED BACK TO THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO ENSURE SYSTEM INTEGRITY.
Schedule H, Part II COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH PROBLEMS. POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS ALL CONTRIBUTE TO POOR HEALTH. THE TYPES OF PROGRAMS INCLUDED IN THIS CATEGORY SUPPORT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS TRAINING, JOB SHADOWING FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED IN HEALTH CAREERS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT GRANTS TO HELP REVITALIZE LOW-INCOME AREAS AND BUSINESSES.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 & 4 THE ORGANIZATION'S FOOTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN A FOOTNOTE SPECIFICALLY COVERING BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THOUGH PATIENT INCOME MAY QUALIFY THEM FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE PATIENT HAS OBLIGATIONS AS WELL TO COMPLETE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FORMS AND TO SUBMIT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION TO QUALIFY. PATIENTS WHO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION AND QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE WOULD NEVER GO TO BAD DEBT. THEREFORE, IT IS REASONABLE TO STATE THAT OUR BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS FOR THOSE UNWILLING TO PAY OR UNWILLING TO WORK WITH US TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF AVAILABLE. IF AN ACCOUNT IS COMPLETELY WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT, THE TOTAL COST VIA THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IS APPLIED. IF ONLY A PORTION OF THE ACCOUNT WAS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT, THEN BAD DEBT AS A PERCENTAGE OF CHARGE IS THEN APPLIED TO THE TOTAL COST FOR THE ENCOUNTER TO ESTIMATE THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE BAD DEBT. THE AMOUNT THAT GOES TO COLLECTIONS IS PATIENT LIABILITY. NOT COLLECTING THESE DOLLARS IS A DIRECT EXPENSE TO THE ORGANIZATION. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION, IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP ANYONE WHO PRESENTS THEMSELVES WITH A HEALTH ISSUE; AS SUCH WE HAVE LESS CONTROL OVER WHAT GETS RECOGNIZED AS BAD DEBT. TO COMPUTE BAD DEBT AT COST, MANAGEMENT USED ALL DISCHARGED CASES IN PRIOR FISCAL YEAR WITH BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF. THE WRITE-OFF WAS COMPUTED AS A PERCENTAGE OF CHARGE AND THEN MULTIPLIED BY THE TOTAL COST (DETERMINED BY A DETAILED COST ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGY) TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF BAD DEBT.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 OVERALL MEDICARE PATIENTS PRODUCE A NEGATIVE 7% MARGIN ON GROSS CHARGES. THIS IS SPREAD ACROSS MOST OF OUR PRODUCT LINES. OUR HEAVIEST LOSSES ARE FROM THE INPATIENT NEUROLOGY, ONCOLOGY AND CARDIAC PRODUCT LINES AND FROM ONCOLOGY AND SURGERY ON THE OUTPATIENT SIDE. IN GENERAL, MEDICARE INPATIENTS DO COVER THE DIRECT COSTS OF PROVIDING THEIR CARE. HOWEVER, THE INDIRECT COSTS TO SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR AND TURNS THE MARGIN NEGATIVE.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d SOLID ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION SERVICE LINE THE CORPORATION OPERATES ONE OF THE BUSIEST SOLID ORGAN TRANSPLANT PROGRAMS IN THE WORLD. IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015, THE CORPORATION PERFORMED 263 SOLID ORGAN TRANSPLANTS INCLUDING LIVER, KIDNEY, HEART, PANCREAS AND SMALL BOWEL. THE SUCCESS OF THE CORPORATION'S SOLID ORGAN TRANSPLANT PROGRAM IS HEIGHTENED BY RESEARCH DONE ON THE CORPORATION/UNMC CAMPUS. PATIENTS HAVE COME TO THE CORPORATION FOR SINGLE-OR MULTIPLE-ORGAN TRANSPLANT FROM ALL 50 STATES AND FIVE CONTINENTS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2015, THE SOLID ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION SERVICE LINE INCURRED OVER 41,858 CASES AND 23,589 PATIENT DAYS. APPROXIMATELY 81% OF THE REVENUE WAS DERIVED FROM INPATIENT CASES. ALL OTHER HOSPITAL SERVICES WITH A HISTORY DATING BACK TO 1869, THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER WAS FORMED WITH THE MERGING OF BISHOP CLARKSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND CONTINUES TO ATTRACT PATIENTS FROM THE REGION AND AROUND THE WORLD. THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER IS A TERTIARY/QUATERNARY ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER. THE CORPORATION IS THE LARGEST HEALTH CARE FACILITY IN THE STATE WITH MORE THAN 7,300 EMPLOYEES AND OVER 900 PHYSICIANS ON STAFF PRACTICING IN ALL MAJOR SPECIALTIES AND SUB-SPECIALTIES. BESIDES SEVERAL KEY SERVICES IN CARDIOLOGY, ONCOLOGY, TRANSPLANT AND NEUROLOGY, THE HOSPITAL OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE CARE IN WOMEN'S SERVICES FOR OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, AS WELL AS PEDIATRIC SERVICES, ORTHOPEDICS, RHEUMATOLOGY, AND PULMONARY CARE. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION HAS ONE OF THE REGION'S LARGEST HYPERBARIC MEDICINE PROGRAMS. THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO HAS ONE OF THE FEW BIOCONTAINMENT UNITS IN THE UNITED STATES EQUIPPED TO SAFELY CARE FOR THOSE EXPOSED TO HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS, DANGEROUS DISEASES. In September, October, and November of 2014, the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit was activated to provide care for three Americans who contracted the Ebola Virus during the West Africa outbreak. This response resulted in Nebraska Medical Center and UNMC becoming one of three designated Ebola Treatment and Education Centers in the United States. Biocontainment Unit staff have continued to educated public health and infectious disease teams from around the world about safe protocols and responses to infectious diseases. Nebraska Medical Center also became a regional leader in trauma care with the establishment of its 24/7 Trauma Program in August of 2014. This change resulted in a 48% increase in trauma patients and admits to the hospital. ITS DIABETES CENTER IS A RECOGNIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM BY THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION AND HAS EARNED THE JOINT COMMISSION'S GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL FOR ADVANCED INPATIENT DIABETES CARE. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH UNMC, THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER CONTINUED CONSTRUCTION OF THE FRED & PAMELA BUFFETT CANCER CENTER, THE LARGEST SINGLE PROJECT EVER ON CAMPUS. THE PROJECT WILL BE COMPLETED IN 2016 AND SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN EARLY 2017.
