Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3 Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hospitals Vanderbilt University Medical Center is a new hospital organization per Reg. Section 1.501(r)-3(2) as of April 30, 2016. Because VUMC is a new hospital organization during fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 (tax year 2015), it must meet the requirements of section 501(r)(3) with respect to any hospital facility it operates by the last day of the second taxable year after the date of acquisition of the hospital facilities. Accordingly, a CHNA is not required for the current tax year for Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hospitals (State license 0000000027). See Schedule O for additional details on the Transaction.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7k VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER HOSPITALS 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 36.90%.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance 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.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount 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.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote Pursuant to the transfer of assets and liabilities from Vanderbilt University to Vanderbilt University Medical Center on April 29, 2016, VUMC obtained an audited balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. VUMC did not obtain an audited income statement or statement of cash flows for the period April 30, 2016 through June 30, 2016. The Medical Center's revenue and expenses from July 1, 2015 through April 29, 2016 are included in Vanderbilt University's audited financial statements. However, VUMC will obtain an audited income statement and statement of cash flows for the 14 months ended June 30, 2017, as required under OMB Circular A-133. See Schedule O for additional details on the Transaction.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs 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 FY16, such shortfalls amounted to $12,196,368.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance Collection Practices: Although Vanderbilt University Medical Center'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: - Attachment or seizure of a bank account or other personal property - Commencement of a civil action against an individual - Wage garnishment

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment Vanderbilt University Medical Center ("VUMC") continually assesses the healthcare needs of the communities it serves. The VUMC Patient and Family Advisory Council is composed of community volunteers who collaborate with VUMC'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. VUMC and Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital have also formed the Community Health Improvement Working Group, an internal committee of program managers which meet regularly and make recommendations to the CHNA Advisory Committee. The CHNA Advisory Committee is made up of VUMC and Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital senior leaders which meet to continually assess the needs of the community and drive improvements in care and processes for the communities they serve. VUMC 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. VUMC 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, VUMC has developed partnerships with the state department of health to stay abreast of important community health care needs.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance VUMC patients are notified of potential assistance under Federal, State or local government programs or under the VUMC's charity care policy via signage posted in the patient care registration points including hospitals, emergency departments, and hospital based 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. Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital ("Stallworth") patients are notified of potential assistance under Federal, State or local government programs or under Stallworth's charity care policy via signage in the main elevator to the patient care units. In addition, pre-admitting, registration, or billing personnel may refer uninsured or low income patients to financial personnel to discuss qualifications for free or discounted care.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee The Executive Committee of the Board of the Directors consists of at least three directors, including the Board Chairperson, the CEO of VUMC and the Chancellor of Vanderbilt University. The Executive Committee is empowered to exercise all of the powers of the Board when the Board is not in session, subject to certain restrictions involving major corporate decisions.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The Form 990 is prepared by Vanderbilt University Medical Center and provided to PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University Medical Center's independent accounting firm for review. After review by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University Medical Center provides a draft copy of the Form 990 and all required schedules for review to all General Officers, which includes the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Once this review process is complete, the Audit and Compliance Committee is 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 Directors for review prior to the filing of the return.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy Vanderbilt University Medical Center requires that for any staff member disclosing a potential conflict of interest, the conflict be reviewed by the individual's manager, as well as by the Director of Conflict of Interest. For VUMC-employed Vanderbilt Faculty, the COI process is managed by the Office of Faculty Affairs. Any reported conflict will be managed, mitigated, 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 University Medical Center may have an institutional interest, those in which human subject research is performed, or those deemed unmanageable, are reviewed by the Medical Center COI Committee (VUMC-employed Vanderbilt Faculty) and the Staff COI Committee determines appropriate actions. The Medical Center COI Committee members are appointed by the CEO of VUMC. The Staff COI Committee members are selected by the General Counsel/Corporate Secretary for VUMC. The Staff COI Committee is chaired by the General Counsel/Corporate Secretary. Both committees report bi-annually to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the matters brought before the committees and the resulting actions. Members of the VUMC Board of Directors (BOD) and VUMC General Officers also must complete annual conflict of interest disclosures and management plans are developed to manage, mitigate, or eliminate any potential conflicts of interest. BOD members 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 Directors, 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 VUMC community are required to disclose potential conflicts as they arise throughout the year. The same processes noted above occur for these disclosures.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 15A & 15B - To ensure that Vanderbilt University Medical Center 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 directors, officers, or key employees, and is in compliance with the intermediate sanctions provisions with respect to the general officers, Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Board of Directors has designated a Compensation Committee made up of outside, independent, board members to review and recommend to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors 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. Each year the total compensation review and recommendations are recorded in the minutes of the Compensation Committee meetings. The full Board is informed annually of the total compensation of the general officers during private session.

Form 990, Part XII, Line 3b Reason organization did not undergo required audit VUMC was not required to undergo an audit under OMB Circular A-133 for the two months ended June 30, 2016.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 Prior to April 29, 2016, Vanderbilt University (the "University") (FEIN: 62-0476822) operated Vanderbilt University Medical Center (the "Medical Center"), an academic medical center, as an operating unit within the University. The Medical Center housed the University's clinically-related charitable, academic and health care activities and assets, including three teaching hospitals, outpatient clinics, the faculty practice plan, other health care subsidiaries and joint ventures, and clinical research and post-graduate (residency) training programs. On April 29, 2016, the University transferred clinical services operations, post-graduate training programs, and clinical department research activities, along with the related assets and liabilities, to Vanderbilt University Medical Center ("VUMC") (FEIN: 35-2528741), a newly incorporated Tennessee non-profit corporation, in exchange for consideration of $1,230 million (the "Transaction"). As a separate legal entity, VUMC is not and will not be under common governance with or controlled by Vanderbilt University nor will the University be financially responsible for VUMC indebtedness. FOLLOWING THE TRANSACTION, VUMC WILL HAVE AN ON-GOING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY EMBODIED IN A NUMBER OF WRITTEN AGREEMENTS, INCLUDING A MASTER TRANSFER AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT, AN ACADEMIC AFFILIATION AGREEMENT, A TRADEMARK LICENSING AGREEMENT AND A GROUND LEASE. IN ADDITION, SUBSEQUENT TO THE TRANSACTION VUMC AND THE UNIVERSITY WILL PROVIDE SPECIFIED SERVICES TO ONE ANOTHER FOR AGREED-UPON CONSIDERATION PURSUANT TO A RECIPROCAL MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT. Therefore, the Medical Center's revenue and expenses from July 1, 2015 through April 29, 2016 are included in Vanderbilt University's audited financial statements. As a result of the Transaction, VUMC obtained an audited balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. VUMC did not obtain an audited income statement or statement of cash flows for the period April 30, 2016 through June 30, 2016. However, VUMC will obtain an audited income statement and statement of cash flows for the 14 months ended June 30, 2017, as required under OMB Circular A-133. Likewise, the Medical Center's activities from July 1, 2015 through April 29, 2016 are included in Vanderbilt University's Form 990. VUMC's Form 990 includes VUMC's activities from April 30, 2016, when operations began, through June 30, 2016.
