Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds The endowment funds are held by Bethesda Hospital Foundation, Inc. The endowment funds are used to support Bethesda Hospital, Inc. in the provision of quality health care services to the surrounding community.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The organization is included in the consolidated financial statements of Bethesda Health, Inc. Below is the footnote from those financial statements. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that BHS, BPS, BHOS, BHCIS, the Foundation, and the Hospital are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) as organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). All other affiliates of BHS are for-profit entities that file a consolidated tax return. As of September 30, 2016, the consolidated for-profit entities have recorded a provision for income tax in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The System applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740 to evaluate uncertain tax positions. This guidance creates a single model to address uncertain income tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a more-likely-than-not minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Under the requirement of ASC Topic 740, tax-exempt organizations may be required to record an obligation as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items. There were no uncertain tax provisions recorded in the consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2016.

Some rates are provided as a "flat rate" which covers all hospital based services. Flat Rates may be set in a manner to remain market competitive with Acute and non Acute care settings and may or may not reflect average reimbursement. The Self Pay rates are processed through the system based on the account/patient being identified as Self pay.

We have contracts with managed care that allow for DRG reimbursement or total charges which ever is less. In these cases we are paid the total charges on the account. The same is true for the self pay rate for certain DRGs and in these cases the FAP eligible individual would have received a bill equal to the charge. However, once we have identified this we process a 79% self pay discount for In-Patient accounts and a 83% self pay discount for Out-Patient accounts. This is to try and reflect the average discounts given with the self pay rates.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation 12781198
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES FROM WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS TO OUR PATIENTS. OTHER BENEFIT COSTS WERE DETERMINED BY ESTIMATING THE TOTAL HOURS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH COMMUNITY SERVICE AND APPLYING AN AVERAGE HOURLY RATE TO THE STAFF WORKING THE EVENT. THE TOTAL DIRECT EXPENSES WERE TRACKED FOR EACH SERVICE AND ADDED TO THE LABOR COST.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS BASED ON ACTUAL WRITE-OFFS OF ZERO BALANCED ACCOUNTS IN ADDITION TO AN ESTIMATE OF UNSETTLED ACCOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL PERCENTAGES.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology OUR ORGANIZATION APPLIED A PERCENTAGE OF 11.9% TO THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF OUR ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THIS PERCENTAGE IS BASED ON EQUIFAX SCORING (PROPRIETARY CREDIT SCORING ALGORITHM) ANALYSIS OF A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT POPULATION (24,800) OF DEBTORS PLACED IN COLLECTION FROM 10/1/2015-9/30/2016. CONSUMERS WITH AN EQUIFAX SCORE OF 301-600 (ON A SCALE OF 301-900) WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY ASSISTANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH BETHESDA HOSPITAL'S POLICY IF THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND ATTESTATIONS WERE SUBMITTED.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical collection and write-off experience. Accounts receivable are turned over to collection agencies at certain aging intervals depending on the insurance payor. The Hospital does not require collateral, and losses are anticipated to be within management's expectations. The organization's financial statements contain footnotes related to accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. These footnotes are contained in pages 10-11 and 18-19 of the audited financial statements.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs The cost is based on the Hospital's FY 2016 as filed medicare cost report costing methodology. The shortfall is a community benefit as these services were not fully reimbursed. By continuing to treat patients eligible for Medicare, hospitals alleviate the federal government's burden for directly providing medical services. The IRS has acknowledged that lessening the government burden associated with providing Medicare benefits is a charitable purpose.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance AT ANY POINT IN THE COLLECTION CYCLE IF A PATIENT DECLARES THAT THEY MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, FURTHER COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE SUSPENDED PENDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE PATIENT'S DOCUMENTED ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment Our mission to provide quality health services in a caring manner as a community-based hospital system extends to the entire span of communities we serve in South and Central Palm Beach County, including seniors, families, infants and children, as well as growing Hispanic and Haitian populations. After completion of its 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment, Bethesda Hospital began a new 3-year Community Health Needs Assessment in July 2015. In partnership with many of our local constituency groups, Bethesda identified issues related to: access to health services related to language and insurance barriers, maternal/child health and preterm deliveries, behavioral health and obesity. As a result of their feedback, barriers that are being addressed include accessibility and affordability of health care coverage, education initiatives to improve awareness of resources and improved communication with clients to promote access to services. In partnership with local agencies, our Community Health Needs Assessment provides a guide to improve the health status of Palm Beach County residents; address socioeconomic factors causing a negative impact on our community's health and increase access to preventive healthcare services, especially within at-risk sub-populations. To address these community needs, Bethesda provides a number of services to help each of its sub- populations. Bethesda offers patients free transportation to its facilities for outpatient procedures, as well as cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and physical therapy services. In addition, the Hospital's Financial Assistance Unit works with patients to secure federal and state financial assistance, as well as offering convenient payment plans. In addition, health fairs are provided in areas of at-risk populations with healthcare professionals who speak English, Spanish and Creole. Maternity tours and baby classes are also offered in Spanish and Creole. The Hospital's family resource center also allows families to access multi-lingual computers and multi-lingual resources for prenatal, newborn, pediatric and family-centered information. All patient information is provided in English, Spanish and Creole. In working with local organizations such as the March of Dimes, Caridad Center and the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations (COBWRA), there is a tremendous need to address the numbers of low birth weight deliveries and premature births in Palm Beach County, especially among African American mothers. Based on this data, Bethesda is now working with the Health Care District of Palm Beach County and the Healthy Beginnings Program to focus greater efforts on reducing the number of pre-term/premature births through pre-natal education classes that are offered in English, Spanish and Creole. Among the senior population in Palm Beach County, diabetes continues to be on the rise. To curb this trend, Bethesda is now working to reduce the incidence of newly diagnosed cases of diabetes in the senior population by providing ongoing diabetes management patient education classes related to nutrition and exercise at Bethesda Hospital West. We also provide 340 (b) services to our patients who qualify for this Federal assistance to receive reduced-price prescription drugs. Our quality resource managers and pharmacists work with each patient to ensure they have the prescription drugs that are needed upon the patient's discharge from the Hospital for both acute care and long-term needs.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE INFORMED ABOUT BETHESDA HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNIT AT SEVERAL KEY ACCESS POINTS OF THE HOSPITAL: THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, AMBULATORY SURGERY, OUTPATIENT REGISTRATION, CENTRAL SCHEDULING AND THE ADMITTING DEPARTMENT. OUR HOSPITAL HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNIT WITH A DEDICATED TEAM OF EMPLOYEES WHO HELP PATIENTS AND FAMILIES QUALIFY FOR VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND financial assistance. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNIT INCLUDES STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE FLUENT IN ENGLISH, SPANISH AND CREOLE, SO THAT WE MAY SERVE ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION BETHESDA HOSPITAL'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES IN A CARING MANNER, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. OUR MISSION IS FOUNDED IN A STRONG SYSTEM OF VALUES THAT REFLECTS A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY AND QUALITY THAT ALWAYS EXCEEDS STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE; A COMMITMENT TO CARING THAT ENSURES A PERSONALIZED HEALING EXPERIENCE AND A COMMITMENT TO SERVICE THAT ALWAYS EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS. IN STRIVING TO BECOME A VALUE-BASED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION, WE WILL ALWAYS STRIVE FOR OUTCOMES THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR DIVERSE PATIENT POPULATION, REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, ORIENTATION OR FINANCIAL STATUS, THROUGH EVERY STAGE OF THEIR LIVES FROM PRENATAL CARE NEEDS, TO PEDIATRIC CARE AND FAMILY NEEDS, AND CONTINUING THROUGH END-OF-LIFE CARE, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO VITAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE MOST APPRORIATE SETTING.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION BETHESDA HOSPITAL, AND ITS AFFILIATES, PROVIDES THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN PALM BEACH COUNTY SERVING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH EVERY STAGE OF THEIR LIVES INCLUDING NEONATES, CHILDREN, FAMILIES, WOMEN AND SENIORS. BETHESDA'S SPECIALIZED SERVICES INCLUDE: A 31-BED, HEART HOSPITAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES AND A 24-BED ORTHOPAEDIC INSTITUTE THAT IS A JOINT COMMISSION-CERTIFIED FACILITY FOR HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENTS. BETHESDA'S 36-BED, CORNELL INSTITUTE FOR REHABILITATION MEDICINE OFFERS INPATIENT REHABILITATION FOR PATIENTS WITH NEUROLOGIC AND ORTHOPEDIC REHABILITATION NEEDS. AS SOUTH PALM BEACH COUNTY'S FIRST MATERNITY CENTER, WE PROVIDE A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES FOR MOTHER AND CHILD INCLUDING PRENATAL CARE, OBSTETRICAL TRIAGING, A LEVEL III NEONATAL CARE UNIT, A PEDIATRIC AND PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, ALL IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF FAMILY-CENTERED CARE. BETHESDA OFFERS A FULL RANGE OF GENERAL AND SPECIALIZED SURGERY, WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART ENDOVASCULAR SUITES AT BOTH HOSPITALS DEDICATED TO TREATING VASCULAR DISEASE. RECOGNIZING THAT 60% OF BETHESDA'S PATIENTS ARRIVE THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, BETHESDA HAS 24-HOUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS WITH EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN AT BOTH HOSPITALS COMPLETE WITH PEDIATRIC PHYSICIANS. COMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE BETHESDA'S ADVANCED PRIMARY STROKE CENTERS TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH STROKE. ADDITIONAL SERVICES INCLUDE BETHESDA'S WOUND CARE AND HYPERBARIC MEDICINE PROGRAM, CENTER FOR SURGICAL WEIGHT REDUCTION AND ACCREDITED CENTERS FOR CHEST PAIN AND HEART FAILURE. AS PART OF BETHESDA'S GOAL TO ENSURE THAT WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH PHYSICIANS AND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY, BETHESDA'S COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES OFFERS ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAMS IN THE FIELDS OF RADIOGRAPHY AND NURSING. IN ADDITION, BETHESDA IS PROUD TO BE AN OFFICIAL TEACHING HOSPITAL, PROVIDING RESIDENCY PROGRAMS FOR PHYSICIANS FROM THE FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY CHARLES E. SCHMIDT COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. THE FOLLOWING STATISTICS, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 20, 2016, REPRESENT THE SCOPE OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY BETHESDA HOSPITAL: 20,597 INPATIENT ADMISSIONS; 103,721 INPATIENT DAYS OF CARE; 78,935 EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS; 11,225 SURGICAL CASES; 344 HEART CASES; OVER 2,900 DELIVERIES; AND 164,178 OUTPATIENT VISITS. ADDITIONALLY, BETHESDA HOSPITAL PROVIDED APPROXIMATELY $45 MILLION OF financial assistance TO THE UNINSURED AND UNDER INSURED. BETHESDA HOSPITAL AND AFFILIATES EMPLOY MORE THAN 2,700 EMPLOYEES, MAKING BETHESDA HOSPITAL THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Community benefit information Financial Assistance As one of only three not-for-profit hospital organizations in Palm Beach County, Bethesda Hospital, Inc., is comprised of two community-owned hospitals - Bethesda Hospital East and Bethesda Hospital West - dedicated to providing quality health services in a caring manner, regardless of ability to pay. Since 1990, the Bethesda Hospital, Inc., has met the requirements under the Social Security Act (Section 1886(d)(5)(F)) to receive additional payments to hospitals that serve a significantly disproportionate number of low-income patients. Low-income patients include patients who were entitled to benefits under Medicare Part A and were entitled to Supplementary Security Income (SSI) benefits and patients who were eligible for medical assistance under a State plan approved under Title XIX. The Social Security Act defines the formula for determining the percentage to be used for this disproportionate share adjustment payment. The Hospital provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its financial assistance policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. Bethesda informs its patients about its financial assistance policy by posting this information in our Emergency Departments and Admitting areas. In addition, the Hospital has a Financial Assistance Unit (FAU) to help educate our patients on available programs. Among the services offered, Bethesda's FAU helps patients qualify for Medicaid programs and make arrangements for extended payments for services. Because the Hospital does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as financial assistance, this amount is recorded as a deduction from gross revenue reported. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, Bethesda provided $43.2 million in Indigent and Financial Assistance write-offs, representing 2.6% of the hospital's total charges. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, Bethesda provided an additional $52.56 million in discounts for uninsured patients. These discounts were primarily for services provided in the Emergency Department at Bethesda Hospital East. Community Needs Assessment In keeping with our mission to provide quality health services in a caring manner, Bethesda has tailored its community benefit programs to meet the needs of our key constituent groups identified through our community health needs assessment: seniors, women, children and families. The Hospital utilizes state and regional data, patient surveys, focus group meetings, support group meetings and one-on-one patient interviews. In addition, Bethesda uses evaluation surveys to solicit feedback from attendees of our hospital's various community events, including community health fairs and community lectures provided at the Hospital. In addition, we provide education classes for all segments of our patient population, ranging from prenatal care classes for expectant parents to orthopaedic surgery classes for patients prior to surgery, thereby, helping our patients have a better understanding of their health needs and how we can help them meet their needs. In addition, we offer free weekly community lectures at both hospitals with our physicians who address numerous health topics ranging from diabetes to stroke prevention. Bethesda also provides physicians who speak to groups at residential communities, as part of our "Be Healthy, Be Well" lecture program. We collaborate with community organizations in our service area, such as the Boynton Beach Senior Center and the Mandel Jewish Community Center, to promote additional knowledge of health services available to seniors. Similarly, we participate in local civic events, such as Delray Beach and Boynton Beach Fire Rescue, to teach families how to keep their children safe at home, on the road and in the water, because drowning remains the number one cause of death for children under the age of 4 in Palm Beach County. Through our community needs assessment, we have also identified emerging populations within our community who need improved access to healthcare services, including the growing Hispanic migrant farming population in western Boynton/Lake Worth and the Guatemalan population in Lake Worth. Bethesda works with the Caridad Center, in Boynton Beach, on an ongoing basis to address the health needs of these groups through the provision of health screenings and acute care medical services when Caridad Center seeks additional care for these patients. PROGRAMS AND SERVICES In addition to providing financial assistance, Bethesda provides an array of programs and services to help improve the quality of life in our community, as described below: AARP Safe Driving Program With seniors representing the largest segment of Bethesda's patient population, Bethesda has recognized that having safer drivers on the road means having healthier drivers in our community. Bethesda Hospital West, in collaboration with AARP, hosts a monthly safe driving program for all persons age 50 and older to keep members of our community safe on the roads. Bethesda Hospital, Inc. with AARP held 19 safe driving sessions for 475 people who took advantage of this learning opportunity for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016. Baby Line More than 35% of Bethesda's 3,000 deliveries are born to families with incomes that fall below the Federal Income Poverty Guideline. To ensure that these families get the best start in life, Bethesda helps expectant mothers get the answers they need about pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Community benefit information Community Education: Community Lecture Series Keeping our patients informed of new advancements in healthcare, treatments for a wide range of conditions, and providing direct access with a Bethesda physician to answer their questions are the goals behind Bethesda's Community Lecture Series.

Lectures are advertised through Bethesda Life magazine, and local newspapers including: The Palm Beach Post, Sun-Sentinel, The Boynton Forum, The Delray Forum and The Jewish Journal. Bethesda presented 95 free lecture programs, with 6,560 attendees for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016.

In addition, Bethesda provides individual websites for each of its employed physicians through the Bethesda Health Physician Group website (BethesdaHealthPhysicianGroup.org). Community Meeting Rooms Recognizing the shortage of public space for civic groups to meet in our community, Bethesda provides use of its meeting rooms for outside organizations for educational purposes. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, Bethesda provided meeting room opportunities to serve the needs of the community to serve groups including: Al-Anon, American Heart Association, Boynton Beach Fire Department, Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations (COBWRA), ECHO Society, Florida Department of Health Immunization Coalition, Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce and Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, Hospice of Palm Beach County, La Leche League of Boynton Beach, March of Dimes, Macular Degeneration of South Palm Beach County, Nicotine Anonymous and University of Miami/FAU Medical School.

Complimentary Transportation Service Access to health services remains a common need that has been identified among our constituent groups. To this end, Bethesda provides complimentary, door-to-door transportation service to assist our community's residents for both inpatients and outpatients who have no other means for accessing healthcare services. Bethesda has three courtesy cars that provided transportation during this past fiscal year to 3,352 patients, with 50% of those patients needing transportation to a Bethesda hospital for outpatient services; 10% of the patients needing transportation to the Bethesda's rehab services at the DeVos-Blum Family YMCA; 10% for rehab services at the Bethesda Professional Building; and 30% of those patients needing transportation to Bethesda Health City, an outpatient medical mall located in western Boynton Beach.

To assist our families, patient information is provided in English, Spanish and Creole. Graduate Medical Education Program In planning for our community's future growth and medical needs, Bethesda is actively engaged in training physicians for the future.

Bethesda provided 21 community health fairs, reaching over 3,700 people in various locations throughout South Palm Beach County, including residential and civic centers for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016. Helping Hands Program Just as Bethesda's mission is to serve the community, Bethesda recognizes that it cannot care for the community without a strong employee workforce. To this end, employees at Bethesda Hospital East and Bethesda Hospital West have established a fund to help fellow employees facing financial hardships. This on-going program provides toys for children during the holidays; financial assistance for utility bills and assistance during times of personal loss. Hispanic Outreach Program Through our community needs assessment, Bethesda has identified emerging populations within our community who need improved access to healthcare services, including the growing Hispanic migrant farming population in western Boynton/Lake Worth and the Guatemalan population in Lake Worth. Bethesda works with the Caridad Center on an ongoing basis, in Boynton Beach, to address the health needs of these groups through the provision of health screenings and acute care medical services when Caridad Center seeks additional care for these patients. Hospice Care Caring for patients and families through every stage of their lives is why Bethesda is proud to work with Trust Bridge, Inc. to provide a hospice unit at Bethesda Hospital East and a unit at Bethesda Hospital West.
