INFORMATION ON THE HEALTH STATUS AND HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA WAS ALSO COLLECTED THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND MEETINGS AND GUIDED BY A SET OF WRITTEN QUESTIONS FINALIZED BY ABINGTON, LANSDALE AND JEFFERSON COLLEAGUES IN COMMUNITY HEALTH AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT. ALMOST 30 INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING HEALTHCARE AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEALTH AND UNDERLYING SOCIAL CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND BROADER COMMUNITY. THESE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BY COMMUNITY HEALTH AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT LEADERS TO GAIN INSIGHT ABOUT HEALTH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, BARRIERS TO IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH, AND THE COMMUNITY ASSETS AND EFFORTS ALREADY IN PLACE OR BEING PLANNED TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND CONCERNS.

THE CHNA FROM 2013 CONTINUES TO BE POSTED. SEVERAL REQUESTS FROM LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING A COPY OF THE DOCUMENT WERE GIVEN ACCESS VIA THE DOWNLOADABLE DOCUMENT ON THE WEBSITE OR EMAILED BY AH LEADERS. IN FY16, THIS PROCESS REMAINED IN EFFECT. ALL 2016 CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS WERE SHARED WITH ALL KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTICIPANTS IN INTERVIEWS AND MEETINGS. TEAMS WERE FORMED AT AH TO COINCIDE WITH THE MAJOR TOPIC AREAS IN SPRING 2016. ACTION PLANS OR IMPLEMENTATION PLANS WERE WRITTEN, ADOPTED AND APPROVED BY THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE OF THE ABINGTON HEALTH FOUNDATION BOARD BY JUNE 30, 2016. A PRESENTATION WAS MADE TO ABINGTONS LEGACY BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN APRIL 2016 FOLLOWED BY A PRESENTATION TO THE JEFFERSON HEALTH CLINICAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.

THE STRATEGY OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS IDENTIFIES THE MEANS THROUGH WHICH THE HOSPITAL PLANS TO ADDRESS NEEDS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE HOSPITALS CHARITABLE MISSION AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS FROM 2016 THROUGH 2019. BEYOND PROGRAMS DISCUSSED IN THE STRATEGY, THE HOSPITAL IS ADDRESSING MANY OF THESE NEEDS SIMPLY BY PROVIDING CARE TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. THE HOSPITAL ANTICIPATES HEALTH NEEDS AND RESOURCES MAY CHANGE, AND THUS A FLEXIBLE APPROACH WAS ADOPTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS STRATEGY TO ADDRESS NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2016 CHNA. IN ADDITION, CHANGES MAY BE WARRANTED BY THE PUBLICATION OF THE FINAL REGULATIONS. THEMES EMERGED FROM THE CHNA MEETINGS AND WERE ANALYZED AND CODED WITH ALL QUANTITATIVE DATA.

OVERALL THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATIONS SERVED IN THE ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA IS GOOD, RANKING HIGHER THAN THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND PENNSYLVANIA STATE POPULATIONS AS A WHOLE. ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITALS ACCESS TO CARE IP/ACTION PLAN WAS REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY WITH SEVERAL ENHANCEMENTS INTRODUCED. A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TOOK PLACE IN ACCORDINANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(R). IN FY16, ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL CONTINUED WITH A FINANCIAL COUNSELING CENTER CENTRALIZING THIS FUNCTION TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE PATIETNS AND THE COMMUNITY. SERVICES INCLUDE A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR TO HELP DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED PROGRAMS, AND OFFER ASSISTANCE WITH THE HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE AND OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE. A PRINTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BROCHURE WAS CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED AT ABINGTON ACCESS POINTS, INCLUDING CLINICS, OUTPATIENT AREAS, AND THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA CENTER AT ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND PRIMARY CARE OFFICES. OVERVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY INCLUDES: PRIORITIZATION WAS PLACED INTO THE CHNA TO MAXIMIZE THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THE HOSPITAL USING DOMAINS. THE STRATEGY WILL FOCUS ON THE PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT IN THE DOMAIN OF ACCESS TO CARE; MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, ACCESS TO CARE AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BEHAVIORS ESPECIALLY FOR SOCIAL AND HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF OLDER ADULTS AND HEALTH EDUCATION, SOCIAL SERVICES AND REGULAR SOURCE OF CARE. IN THE CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT DOMAIN, MOST IMPORTANT WAS OBESITY FOLLOWED BY DIABETES, HEART DISEASE AND HYPERTENSION, STROKE AND ASTHMA. HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BEHAVIORS AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT DOMAIN INCLUDES ALCOHOL/SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND WOMENS CANCER. THE DOMAIN OF HEALTH SCREENING AND EARLY DETECTION INCLUDES COLON CANCER. ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WILL CONTINUE COLLABORATION REGIONALLY WITH OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS WITHIN BUCKS AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS, COOPERATION, AND COORDINATION ON PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11	THE MOST RECENT REQUIRED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT ("CHNA") WAS COMPLETED IN MARCH 2016. TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2016 CHNA PROCESS, THE HEALTH SYSTEM CONVENED 7 COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTION TEAMS CONSISTING OF KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH") ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLINICAL EADERS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT GOALS AND ACTION PLANS OR IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. LEADERS OF THESE TEAMS WILL REPORT ON PROGRESS QUARTERLY THROUGH REPORTS SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE OF THE AH FOUNDATION BOARD. THE HEALTH SYSTEM WILL NOT DIRECTLY FOCUS ON YOUTH HEALTH BEHAVIORS, MEDICATION ACCESS, COMMUNITY SAFETY, TRANSPORTATION, OR THE BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT NEEDS IDENTIFIED AS "IMPORTANT OR LESS IMPORTANT" IN THE 2016 CHNA. THOSE PRIORITIES ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF AH AND ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY OTHER COMMUNITY BASED AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS. AH WILL COLLABORATE WITH GROUPS OF EXPERTS IN THESE AREAS TO FOSTER APPROPRIATE AND SAFE REFERRALS AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERSHIP AND INCLUSION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES. HOSPITALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO, NOR CAN THEY MEET ALL UNMET NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. ANY UNMET NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE APPROVED IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED IN THE SERVICE AREA BY THE HOSPITAL, OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENT, AND LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. OUR PRIORITY UNMET NEEDS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT STRATEGY. ABINGTON HEALTH LEADERS CONTINUE TO MONITOR NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES WITH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS INCLUDING COACH AND THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HOSPITAL PARTNERSHIP.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	INCOME BASED CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE. HOUSEHOLD INCOME UP TO 299% OF FPG WILL RECEIVE A 100% DISCOUNT. DISCOUNTED CARE IS A SLIDING SCALE STARTING AT HOUSEHOLD INCOME ABOVE 300% UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 600% OF THE FPG.
SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A	THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS IN A REPORT PREPARED BY ABINGTON HEALTH (EIN: 27-1243803), A RELATED TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID. ALL OTHER COSTS WERE EITHER OBTAINED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING, COST REPORTING OR GENERAL LEDGER SYSTEMS.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THIS ORGANIZATION IMPROVE THE MEDICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES IN OUR CARE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; LINES 2, 3 & 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL HOSPITAL AFFILIATES. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES. CHARITABLE MEDICAL CARE PROVIDED TJU PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. SOME PATIENTS QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE BASED ON POLICIES ESTABLISHED BY TJU AND ARE THEREFORE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT FOR ALL OR A PART OF THEIR HEALTHCARE SERVICES. THESE POLICIES ALLOW FOR THE PROVISION OF FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE REQUIRING PAYMENT WOULD IMPOSE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON THE PATIENT. CHARGES FOR SERVICES RENDERED TO PATIENTS WHO MEET TJU'S GUIDELINES FOR CHARITY CARE ARE NOT SEPARATELY RECORDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. TJU MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED. THESE RECORDS INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOREGONE FOR SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED. SUCH AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES THAT THE COST OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED BY TJU WAS $21.8 MILLION FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016. THESE AMOUNTS DO NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS OF $102.7 MILLION IN 2016 WHICH ARE REFLECTED AS DEDUCTIONS IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF PROVIDING CHARITY SERVICES ARE BASED ON A CALCULATION WHICH APPLIES A RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES TO THE GROSS UNCOMPENSATED CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CARE TO CHARITY PATIENTS. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE TJU TOTAL EXPENSES DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYERS AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYERS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. Revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid fee-for-service programs accounted for approximately 24.1% and 3.3%, respectively, of net patient service revenue in 2016. Most payments to TJU from the Medicare and Pennsylvania Medicaid programs for inpatient hospital services are made on a prospective basis. Under these programs, payments are made at a pre-determined specific rate for each discharge based on a patients diagnosis. Additional payments are made to TJU as a teaching and disproportionate share hospital, as well as for cases that have an extremely long length-of-stay or unusually high costs. Laws governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Services billed to the Medicare program are subject to external review for both medical necessity and billing compliance. Medicare cost reports for all years, except 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2016 have been audited and final settled as of June 30, 2016. No significant adjustments are expected. In addition, TJU received funds from the Philadelphia Hospital Assessment program and the Medical Assistance Modernization Act-Quality Care Assessment program in the amount of $93.5 million in 2016 and are recorded in net patient service revenue. TJU paid taxes in respect to these programs amounting to $78.9 million in 2016 and are recorded in other operating expenses. Both programs were designed to provide supplemental funding for licensed acute care hospitals with the Philadelphia Hospital Assessment program specifically designated for hospital emergency services. TJU has also entered into agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations. The basis for payment to TJU under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per discharge, discounts from established charges, prospectively determined daily rates and capitated rates. Revenue from Blue Cross and Aetna USHC amounted to 30.9% and 9.4% of TJU net patient service revenue in 2016.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; LINE 8	FINANCIAL INFORMATION LISTED ON SCHEDULE H PART III LINES 5, 6 & 7 WERE DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND NOT THE 2015 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. USING THE COST REPORT WOULD RESULT IN AN DECREASE TO THE AMOUNT ON LINE 5 OF $8,526,154 AND A DECREASE TO LINE 6 OF $24,363,332. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY OR EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AGE, STATUS AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A HANDICAP/DISABILITY OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE, PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE(D)" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B	FOR THE ABINGTON HEALTH COMMUNITY, EVERY ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS HAVING AN INABILITY TO PAY IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE PATIENT FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM EITHER OUTSIDE RESOURCES (E.G., MA, CHIP, ETC.) OR VIA THE HOSPITAL POLICY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE ONE (1) HOSPITAL GENERATED STATEMENT INDICATING THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND PAYMENT DUE DATES. THE STATEMENTS INCLUDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF, IN THE COURSE OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE PATIENT, THERE IS AN INDICATION THAT THE PATIENT CAN NOT PAY THE BALANCE, THE PATIENT IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN, AND WHERE APPROPRIATE, INFORMATION RELATED TO AVAILABLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ANYWHERE ALONG THE CONTINUUM OF COLLECTIONS, WHETHER IT BE VIA INTERNAL STAFF OR EXTENDED OUTSOURCED AGENCIES, PATIENTS ARE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR THE UNINSURED: AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION, ABINGTON HEALTH FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF WILL DETERMINE THAT THE PATIENT IS UNINSURED. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, AN ASSESSMENT WILL BE DONE REGARDING ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AND/OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PATIENTS WITH THE DESIGNATION OF UNINSURED CAN AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ANYTIME A HARDSHIP IN PAYING THE DISCOUNT AMOUNT IS IDENTIFIED. IF ASSISTANCE IS APPROVED, THE PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT WILL BE APPLIED TO THE MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE RATES IN PLACE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE ABINGTON HEALTH SYSTEM BUSINESS OFFICE, AND ALL ITS HOSPITAL AFFILIATES, TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. FOR ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE "SELF-PAYOR ACCOUNTS WITH BALANCES AFTER PRIMARY INSURANCE PAYMENTS, THE COLLECTION POLICY REQUIRES: SENDING ONE STATEMENT, THEN REFERRAL TO AN OUTSIDE EXTENDED BUSINESS OFFICE AGENCY WHO PERFORMS FOLLOW UP VIA STATEMENTS AND TELEPHONE CONTACT FOR 90 DAYS. THE FACILITY ALSO HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY TO ASSURE PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE DETERMINED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. IT IS THE POLICY TO INFORM ALL PATIENTS DEEMED SELF-PAY OF THE APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE. PATIENTS APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY SCREENED BY A RESOURCE ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY ACCORDING TO STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND WILL BE INFORMED OF DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION. PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE AND/OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY COUNSELED FOR ALL OTHER OPTIONS. QUALIFIED PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES OR PROGRAMS TO MEET OTHER FINANCIAL NEEDS. AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT VISIT AND PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AT THE FACILITY, THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS: - A copy of the Plain Language Summary is offered to the patient for their reference; - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING MEDICAID AND SSI; - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND, - FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING: 1. CASH/CREDIT CARD (AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER, VISA, MASTERCARD), 2. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT PLANS. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE OPTIONS, THE FACILITY HAS ESTABLISHED A SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR OUR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID OR THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTIONS 6 & 7	ABINGTON HEALTH ("AH")IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATION. THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY ("TJU") IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF AH. TJU HAS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY AND RIGHT TO ELECT THE MEMBERS OF THIS ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND HAS CERTAIN RESERVED POWERS AS DEFINED IN THIS ORGANIZATION'S BYLAWS.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 11B	The organization is an affiliate of thomas jefferson university ("tju") and its subsidiaries; a tax-exempt tripartite mission of education, research and patient care. The organization's federal form 990 was provided to and made available to each voting member of the organization's governing body prior to filing of the form 990 with the internal revenue service ("irs"). As part of the tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional cpa firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals of the organization and the system to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's finance personnel and other individuals for their review. The organization's finance personnel and other individuals reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization's finance personnel and various other individuals for final review. Thereafter, the cpa firm gave a form 990 summary presentation to the tju audit and compliance committee and thereafter a complete copy of the form 990 was made available to this organization's board of trustees prior to filing.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12	The organization is an affiliate of thomas jefferson university ("tju") and its subsidiaries; a tax-exempt tripartite mission of education, research and patient care which includes abington memorial hospital ("amh"). The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually all members of the board of trustees, officers and management personnel are required to review the existing conflict of interest policy and complete a questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are returned to the system's director of compliance for review. Thereafter the director of compliance prepares a summary of the completed questionnaires which contains information disclosed on an individual by individual basis and reviews this summary with amh's svp of legal affairs/general counsel. This summary is then given to a sub-committee of amh for review. Thereafter, the amh president signs off on the summary and the sub committee reviews and makes decisions on how to handle conflicts of interest and associated mitigating behavior to be taken by the organization if applicable.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	The organization is an affiliate of thomas jefferson university ("tju") and its subsidiaries; a tax-exempt tripartite mission of education, research and patient care which includes abington memorial hospital ("amh"). Tju has a compensation and human resources committee ("committee"). The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves of the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management, including the chief executive officer, president of abington health ("ah") hospitals, senior vice president of finance/chief financial officer, senior vice president of legal affairs/general counsel and chief of staff. The committee reviews the "total compensation" of the individuals which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review is done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of senior management of the organization is reasonable. The actions taken by the committee enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of certain members of the senior management team, including the chief executive officer, president of ah hospitals, senior vice president of finance/chief financial officer, senior vice president of legal affairs/general counsel and chief of staff. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness are the following: 1. The compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an "authorized body" of the applicable tax-exempt organization which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a "conflict of interest" with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2. The authorized body obtained and relied upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and 3. The authorized body "adequately documented the basis for its determination" concurrently with making that determination. The committee is comprised of members of the board of trustees each of who are independent and are free from any conflicts of interest. The committee relied upon appropriate comparable data; specifically, the committee obtained a written compensation study from an independent firm which specializes in the reviewing of hospital and healthcare system executive compensation and benefits throughout the united states. The peer group chosen for comparison should reflect the fact that abington health is a multi hospital healthcare system. The peer group will contain not-for-profit healthcare organizations comparable in size and complexity to abington health. The peer group would consist of independent, single and multi-hospital healthcare systems that have an emphasis on teaching and range in size from half as large to up to twice as large as abington health. Although this peer group will contain organizations from all parts of the u.s., abington health will also examine regional (mid-atlantic) and local (philadelphia) pay levels. The committee adequately documented its basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of the compensation committee meetings during which the executive compensation and benefits was reviewed and subsequently approved. The actions outlined above with respect to the committee and the establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness only applies to certain senior management personnel, including but not limited to the chief executive officer, president of ah hospitals, senior vice president of finance/chief financial officer, senior vice president of legal affairs/general counsel and chief of staff. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in this form 990 are reviewed annually by the chief executive officer with assistance from the organization's human resources department in conjunction with the individual's job performance during the year and is based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that reasonable and fair market value compensation is paid by the organization. Other objective factors include market survey data for comparable positions, individual goals and objectives, personnel reviews, evaluations, self-evaluations and performance feedback meetings.
