SCCA PROTON THERAPY CENTER (CENTER), LOCATED ON UW MEDICINE'S NORTHWEST HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER CAMPUS, OPENED DURING 2013. AN ADVANCED FORM OF RADIATION TREATMENT, PROTON THERAPY CAN BE CALIBRATED WITH GREAT PRECISION TO SELECTIVELY KILL CANCER CELLS. THE CLINICAL BENEFITS PROTON THERAPY OFFERS OVER STANDARD X-RAY TREATMENT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF CANCER ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY WELL KNOWN. THE ACCURACY OF THE DELIVERY OF PROTON RADIATION, FOR EXAMPLE, REDUCES DAMAGE TO THE HEALTHY TISSUES AND ORGANS SURROUNDING TUMORS. OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE FEWER SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING A DECREASED RISK OF DEVELOPING SECONDARY TUMORS (CANCERS THAT RESULT FROM RADIATION TREATMENT). SINCE PROTON THERAPY WAS APPROVED BY THE US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION TO TREAT PATIENTS IN 1988, (SEE SCHEDULE O)THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY HAS CONTINUED TO CONDUCT RESEARCH ON THE USE OF PROTONS IN TREATING DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER THROUGH CLINICAL TRIALS. OVER THE YEARS, MANY PATIENTS HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO TAKE PART IN THESE CLINICAL TRIALS TO HELP FIND IMPROVEMENTS IN FIGHTING CANCER WITH PROTON THERAPY. THE CENTER, WITH OUR PARTNER THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, IS CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN MANY CLINICAL TRIALS. IN OUR QUEST TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PATIENTS WITH CANCER, OUR CENTER WILL PARTICIPATE IN CLINICAL TRIALS TO FURTHER OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE BENEFITS OF PROTON THERAPY IN MANY TUMOR TYPES. OUR DOCTORS VIEW THE NEW CENTER AS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE LEAD IN ACTIVE CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS THAT WILL HELP DEFINE THE ROLE OF PROTON THERAPY IN FUTURE CANCER TREATMENT. ONGOING STUDIES CONDUCTED BY SCCA DOCTORS WILL HELP CHART A CLEAR COURSE FOR THE USE OF PROTON RADIATION IN ACHIEVING THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOMES IN TREATING CANCER.

SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: SCCA INTENDS TO ADDRESS ALL THE ISSUES RAISED IN ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. WE RE-ORDERED THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA TO BETTER REFLECT HOW WE WILL APPROACH THE WORK AS PART OF OUR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. WORK WILL OCCUR IN FOUR MAIN PRIORITY AREAS: COMMUNITY HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE, CANCER SCREENING AND PREVENTION, ACCESS TO SERVICES, AND SURVIVORSHIP. WE WILL FOCUS ON SPECIAL POPULATIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA - SENIORS, LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS, AND RECENT IMMIGRANTS AND THOSE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY - ACROSS ALL FOUR PRIORITY AREAS.COMMUNITY HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE:IN ORDER FOR SCCA TO EFFECTIVELY EXECUTE ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PRIORITIES, WE WILL WORK TO ENSURE OUR PROGRAM OPERATES WITH A STRONG FOUNDATION, INCLUDING ROBUST STRUCTURES, PROCESSES, AND COLLABORATION TO SUPPORT THE WORK; BETTER DATA TO HELP TARGET OUTREACH INTERVENTIONS; AND STRONG PARTICIPATION IN EFFORTS TO ADVANCE THE FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE OF CANCER CARE.CANCER SCREENING AND PREVENTION:IN THE AREA OF SCREENING AND PREVENTION, WE SEEK TO BUILD ON BETTER DATA AND A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO MORE EFFECTIVELY TARGET OUR POPULATIONS IN NEED OF EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ON HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, CANCER PREVENTION, AND CANCER SCREENING. WE ALSO SEEK TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING RECOMMENDED MAMMOGRAMS AND LUNG CANCER SCREENINGS BY DIRECTLY PROVIDING THESE SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEED.ACCESS TO SERVICES:THE BENEFIT OF THE ADVANCEMENTS IN CANCER CARE DRIVEN BY SCCA AND OTHER SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS IS NOT SHARED EQUALLY AMONG ALL GROUPS. THESE HEALTH DISPARITIES ARE DUE IN PART TO BARRIERS TO ACCESS, INCLUDING LACK OF INSURANCE COVERAGE; NON-FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO ACCESS, SUCH AS LOW MEDICAL LITERACY; AND EVEN SEEMINGLY SIMPLE BARRIERS, SUCH AS LACK OF ACCESS TO RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. AS PART OF OUR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WE WILL SEEK TO MINIMIZE THESE BARRIERS TO ACCESS FOR TARGET POPULATIONS BY CONNECTING PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE COVERAGE; IMPROVING RESOURCES FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY AND IMPROVING THE CULTURAL COMPETENCY OF OUR STAFF; WORKING TO INCREASE CLINICAL TRIAL ENROLLMENT FOR LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY PATIENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY; AND OFFERING FREE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM CLINICAL SERVICES FOR THOSE IN NEED.SURVIVORSHIP:AS CANCER MORTALITY RATES IMPROVE AND MORE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY SURVIVE AND LIVE WITH CANCER OR A HISTORY OF CANCER, WE RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO ADDRESS ISSUES RELATED TO SURVIVORSHIP AND TO IMPROVE RESOURCES FOR THIS POPULATION. WE WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER A SURVIVORSHIP CLINIC FOR PATIENTS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY, AND SEEK TO GROW THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WE SERVE OVER TIME.
SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13B: RESPONSIBLE PARTIES WHOSE INCOME LEVEL EXCEEDS 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY STANDARD AS ADJUSTED FOR FAMILY SIZE BUT WHO HAVE INCURRED CATASTROPHIC ACCOUNT BALANCES AFTER ALL SOURCES OF THIRD PARTY COVERAGE AND SPONSORSHIP WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY CARE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13H: THE FOLLOWING PATIENTS MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THIS POLICY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THEY ARE NOT RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON: 1) PERSONS WHO HAVE AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION; AND 2) PERSONS WHO ARE REFUGEES, ASYLEES OR SEEKING ASYLUM AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE DOCUMENTATION. IF THE PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/CHARITY CARE IS APPARENT, SCCA MAY, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, CHOOSE TO WAIVE SOME OF THE DOCUMENTATION AND VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. EXAMPLES OF CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/CHARITY CARE MAY BE APPARENT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: 1) A PATIENT OR GUARANTOR WHO HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY AND HAS INCLUDED THE SCCA DEBT IN THE BANKRUPTCY. 2) A PATIENT OR GUARANTOR WHO DIES WITHOUT MATERIAL ASSETS. 3) A PATIENT OR GUARANTOR WHO IS DETERMINED TO BE HOMELESS. 4) ACCOUNTS RETURNED BY THE COLLECTION AGENCY AS UNCOLLECTIBLE DUE TO ANY OF THE ABOVE REASONS. SCCA STAFF DISCRETION WILL BE EXERCISED IN SITUATIONS WHERE FACTORS SUCH AS SOCIAL OR HEALTH ISSUES EXIST. SUCH ISSUES WILL BE DOCUMENTED TO SUPPORT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/CHARITY CARE CONSIDERATION.
SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20E: SCCA CONTACTED PATIENTS AND HELPED THEM COMPLETE PAPER WORK TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDICARE, MEDICAID, OR ANY OTHER POSSIBLE SOURCE OF COVERAGE.

SCCA HAS PROCEDURES IN PLACE WHEN A PATIENT ENTERS INTO AN EMERGENT CONDITION TO STABILIZE THE PATIENT AND MOVE THEM TO AN APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY FACILITY. SCCA STABILIZES THE PATIENT WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION AND ELIGIBILITY TO PAY.
SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22D: TO DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO FAP ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS, SCCA USES THE REMAINING FAP PERCENTAGE MULTIPLIED BY THE GROSS CHARGES. IF THE PATIENT IS DEEMED FAP ELIGIBLE FOR 60%, THE AMOUNT BILLED TO THE ELIGIBLE PATIENT IS 40% MULTIPLIED BY THEIR GROSS BILLED CHARGES. SCCA DOES NOT CHARGE ANY PERSON QUALIFYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ABOVE SLIDING FEE SCALE MORE THAN THE AMOUNT THAT SCCA WOULD EXPECT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE SAME SERVICES IF THE PATIENT WERE A MEDICARE BENEFICIARY. SCCA WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY PERSON QUALIFYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PAY SCCA'S GROSS CHARGES RATE. ANY REMAINING RESPONSIBILITY AFTER THE ALLOCATION OF APPROVED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS DUE 30 DAYS FROM THE STATEMENT DATE.

PART III, LINE 2: DISCOUNTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS PRIOR TO BAD DEBT STATUS: FOR A PATIENT WHO HAS INSURANCE, CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS ARE APPLIED TO THE ACCOUNT BASED ON THE INSURANCE COMPANY CONTRACT IN FORCE. THE REMAINING SELF PAY AMOUNTS ARE NOT FURTHER ADJUSTED. FOR A PATIENT WITH NO INSURANCE, A 10% DISCOUNT IS APPLIED AT TIME OF SERVICE. NO OTHER SPECIFIC DISCOUNTS ARE MADE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS. AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPRESENT THE UNPAID BALANCE AFTER INSURANCE CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENT, OR SELF PAY DISCOUNT; AND ANY PAYMENTS RECEIVED. ONCE AN ACCOUNT IS IN BAD DEBT STATUS, ANY PAYMENTS RECEIVED ON A PATIENT ACCOUNT CONTINUE TO REDUCE THE OUTSTANDING PATIENT ACCOUNT LIABILITY.ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR PATIENTS WHO 'WOULD QUALIFY' FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:THE SCCA IDENTIFIES PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND THE ACCOUNT IS DESIGNATED AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITHIN THE PATIENT ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. ALL OTHER ACCOUNTS ARE EVALUATED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME THROUGH A SERIES OF CRITERIA BEFORE DESIGNATION AS BAD DEBT. BECAUSE SCCA IS A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL TREATING CANCER PATIENTS, SCCA MAKES EVERY EFFORT IN COMMUNICATING WITH OUR PATIENTS THE PROGRAMS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES AVAILABLE TO ITS PATIENT POPULATION BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER TREATMENT IS RECEIVED.
PART III, LINE 3: PART III LINE 3 IS BLANK FOR SCCA. COMMUNITY BENEFIT: SCCA BELIEVES THAT BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE INCLUDIBLE IN THE CALCULATION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT.

PART III, LINE 4: SCCA'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTE 11(E) BAD DEBT READS AS FOLLOWS: FOR PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, SCCA RECOGNIZES REVENUE ON THE BASIS OF ITS STANDARD RATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED (OR ON THE BASIS OF DISCOUNTED RATES, IF NEGOTIATED OR PROVIDED BY POLICY). ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A PORTION OF SCCA'S PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, SCCA RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED.
PART III, LINE 8: SCCA COMPLETED PART III, LINE 6 USING ALL COSTS INCURRED FOR THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. IT INCLUDES THE AS FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT FOR FY16 PREPARED USING THE CMS PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENT MANUAL PUB 15, A CALCULATION FOR THE NON-COST REPORT FEE SCHEDULE, AND MEDICARE MANAGED CARE.THE NON-MEDICARE COST REPORT FEE SCHEDULE AND THE MANAGED CARE REVENUES REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 5 WERE BASED ON THE REIMBURSEMENT RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE. THE COSTS REPORTED ON LINE 6 WERE DERIVED USING THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES FROM THE AS FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. PART III, NON-COST REPORT SECTION B FEE SCHED. MANAGED CARE TOTAL MEDICAREMEDICARE REVENUE $93,192,703 $1,601,317 $18,819,097 $113,613,117MEDICARE EXPENSE $103,352,417 $2,633,275 $20,334,637 $126,320,329SHORTFALL ($10,159,714) ($1,031,958) ($1,515,540) ($12,707,212)SCCA CONSIDERS THE SHORTFALL ON MEDICARE SERVICES TO BE 100% COMMUNITY BENEFIT. HAD SCCA NOT DELIVERED THE SERVICES, THE SERVICES AND FINANCIAL LOSS WOULD FALL TO ANOTHER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.
PART III, LINE 9B: PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR 100% CHARITY ARE REMOVED FROM THE COLLECTIONS WORKFLOW SO THEIR ACCOUNTS WILL NOT BE SENT TO COLLECTIONS. PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN AWARDED PARTIAL CHARITY (40% OR 60%) MAY BE SENT TO COLLECTIONS IF THE REMAINING PATIENT BALANCES ARE NOT PAID OR ARRANGEMENTS MADE WITHIN 91 DAYS OF THE FIRST BILLING CYCLE.
PART VI, LINE 2: SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE (SCCA) IS A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL DEDICATED TO PROVIDE STATE-OF-THE-ART PATIENT AND FAMILY CENTERED CARE; SUPPORT THE CONDUCT OF CANCER CLINICAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION; ENHANCE ACCESS TO IMPROVED CANCER INTERVENTIONS AND ADVANCE THE STANDARD OF CANCER CARE, REGIONALLY AND BEYOND. IT BRINGS TOGETHER THE PHYSICIANS FROM THE FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER RESEARCH CENTER, SEATTLE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON FOCUSED ON FORMULATING AND DELIVERING THE BEST CANCER TREATMENTS AVAILABLE. OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT STRATEGY IS TO ANALYZE WHERE AND WHAT TYPE OF CANCER IS OCCURRING, DETERMINE WHERE COMPELLING SCIENCE EXISTS, AND MAKE INVESTMENTS TO GROW THESE PROGRAMS.SCCA IN CONJUNCTION WITH FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER RESEARCH CENTER, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, AND SEATTLE CHILDREN'S REVIEWS THE OCCURRENCE RATES IN THE TYPES OF CANCERS IN COMPARISON TO WHERE RESEARCH DOES NOT EXIST AND MAKES STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS TO DEVELOP SCIENCE, BREAKTHROUGHS, AND TREATMENTS IN AREAS OF CANCER NOT BEING PURSUED BY OTHERS.WITH THE COMBINED EFFORTS OF ALL THREE INSTITUTIONS, STATE OF THE ART RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED, DELIVERED TO OUR PATIENT POPULATION, AND SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY.SCCA HAS A FORMAL COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT PROCESS UNDERWAY THAT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PATIENT PROTECTION ACT AND 501(R). SCCA FOCUSED IN ON THE STATE OF WASHINGTON AND THE IMPACT OF CANCER, IDENTIFYING THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH FROM CANCER. SCCA DEFINED ITS COMMUNITY IN ITS CHNA PROCESS TO BE THE THREE SURROUNDING COUNTIES: KING, PIERCE, AND SNOHOMISH COUNTIES. A STUDY OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE THREE COUNTIES BY GENDER AND ETHNICITY AS COMPARED TO THE SCCA PATIENT POPULATION WAS ANALYZED. THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE THREE COUNTY AREAS VERSUS WASHINGTON STATE WERE REVIEWED. THIS ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED CANCER AS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH. FURTHER ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED LOOKING AT THE TYPES OF CANCER CAUSING MORTALITY. THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH IN WASHINGTON STATE AND KING, SNOHOMISH, AND PIERCE COUNTIES WAS IDENTIFIED TO BE LUNG CANCER, FOLLOWED BY, PROSTATE, BREAST, COLORECTAL, AND PANCREAS CANCERS. AS PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS, SCCA LOOKED AT PREVENTION AND SCREENING AND THE CHRONIC DISEASE RISK FACTORS. SCCA REVIEWED ITS PROGRAMS ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEED AND IDENTIFIED AREAS TO FOCUS ON TO HELP CLOSE THE GAP. SCCA IS IMPLEMENTING TARGETED OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE RESOURCE INFORMATION, EDUCATION, AND PREVENTATIVE HEALTH MESSAGES THAT ARE CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE.

THE SCCA'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS ALSO SUMMARIZED IN A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY IN ENGLISH AND 3 OTHER LANGUAGES ON THE WEBSITE AND IS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE CLINIC.
PART VI, LINE 4: SCCA IS LOCATED IN SEATTLE, WA. THE PATIENT POPULATION UTILIZING THE SERVICES OF SCCA ARE PRIMARILY LOCATED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST; HOWEVER, SCCA HAS PATIENTS FROM ALL OVER WORLD. SCCA REPRESENTS A UNION OF PATIENTS AND DOCTORS, PHYSICIANS AND RESEARCHERS, CARE AND CURES IN THE PURSUIT OF BETTER, LONGER, RICHER LIVES FOR OUR PATIENTS. ABOVE ALL, WE EXIST TO MOVE PATIENTS FORWARD, PAST BOUNDARIES AND TOWARD HOPE, BEYOND FEAR AND CLOSER TO DISCOVERY. SCCA IS THE INTERSECTION OF COMPASSION AND HARD SCIENCE. WHERE A REAL DIFFERENCE CAN BE MADE TODAY AND TRUE PROGRESS HAPPENS TOMORROW. THIS UNIQUELY BOLD AND INVENTIVE APPROACH TRULY SETS US APART. WE TREAT CARE DIFFERENTLY. AND, BECAUSE OF THAT, WE SEE PATIENTS DIFFERENTLY, TOO. OUR CARE COMBINES POWERFUL SCIENCE WITH DEVOTED COLLABORATION, WHERE BOUNDARY-PUSHING DISCOVERY HAPPENS - CARE AND SCIENCE WORKING TOGETHER.IT IS OUR FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF THAT WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR PATIENTS IS ESSENTIAL TO WHO WE ARE TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE.WITH OUR DEVOTION TO THE INTERSECTION OF COMPASSION AND HARD SCIENCE, SCCA STRIVES TO REACH THE REGIONAL POPULATION OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST (WA, OR, ID, MT, HI, AK), WHICH ACCORDING TO THE US CENSUS BUREAU FOR 2015 REPRESENTS 16,057,242.SCCA IS PRIMARILY LOCATED IN SEATTLE, WA, HOWEVER, THROUGH THE SCCA NETWORK PROGRAM OF AFFILIATIONS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY CANCER CENTERS, SCCA IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO RESOURCES AND THERAPIES TO ALL OF THE NETWORK MEMBER PATIENT POPULATIONS. ALL OF OUR NETWORK MEMBERS HAVE DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS, MUA, WITHIN THEIR OPERATING LOCALITY. THE MUA PATIENT POPULATION RECEIVES THE BENEFIT OF SCCA'S EXPERTISE WITHOUT NEEDING TO LEAVE HOME. SCCA'S NETWORK PROGRAM SPANS FOURTEEN COMMUNITY CANCER CENTER AFFILIATES IN WASHINGTON, ALASKA, IDAHO, OREGON, HAWAII AND MONTANA.THE LOCAL GEOGRAPHICAL AREA SCCA RESIDES IN CONSISTS OF KING, SNOHOMISH, AND PIERCE COUNTIES. THE METROPOLITAN AREA 2015 POPULATION ESTIMATE ACCORDING TO THE US CENSUS BUREAU IS 3,733,580.KING, SNOHOMISH, AND PIERCE COUNTIES ALL HAVE FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.KING COUNTY HAS 22 PROVIDERS DESIGNATED AS FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS, FQHC, WITH 46 OPERATING MEDICAL SERVICES SITES; SNOHOMISH COUNTY HAS 1 FQHC DESIGNATED PROVIDER WITH 3 OPERATING MEDICAL SERVICES SITES, AND PIERCE COUNTY HAS 2 FQHC DESIGNATED PROVIDERS WITH 8 OPERATING MEDICAL SERVICES SITES.

THE PURPOSE OF BCCHP IS TO REDUCE MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY FROM BREAST, CERVICAL, AND COLON CANCERS BY THE EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER THROUGH FREE SCREENINGS. SCCA IS CONTRACTED WITH BCCHP TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PATIENTS IN KING, KITSAP, JEFFERSON, AND CLALLAM COUNTIES. SCCA CONTRACTED SERVICES ARE FOR BREAST CANCER SCREENING THROUGH REGULAR MAMMOGRAMS. SCCA ACCEPTS REFERRALS FROM PHSKC WHEN THE PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN HAS DETECTED SOMETHING OF INTEREST. SCCA PERFORMS DIAGNOSTICS, AND IF THE PATIENTS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE CANCER, SCCA WILL TREAT THESE PATIENTS.SCCA ALSO HAS THE UNIQUE ABILITY TO HELP ENROLL PATIENTS INTO THE BCCHP PROGRAM. ONCE IDENTIFIED BY SCCA, THEY ARE FAST TRACKED AT THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES INTO BCCHP. PATIENTS WHO COME TO SCCA DIRECTLY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETED AND CANCER IS FOUND, CAN BE ENROLLED DIRECTLY BY THE SCCA INTO THE BCCHP. ENROLLMENT INTO BCCHP IS DEPENDENT ON ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. BCCHP IS FUNDED BY THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, WASHINGTON STATE, AND SUSAN G. KOMEN (PUGET SOUND, EASTERN WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND/SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AFFILIATES).SEA MAR COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER IS A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY, COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH, HUMAN, AND HOUSING SERVICES TO DIVERSE COMMUNITIES, SPECIALIZING IN SERVICE TO LATINOS. SEA MAR'S MEDICAL CLINICS ARE LOCATED IN EIGHT COUNTIES IN WASHINGTON STATE.

ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE SEA MAR RELATIONSHIP IS TO FOSTER CONTINUITY OF CARE FOR SEA MAR PATIENTS WHO ARE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER BETWEEN SEA MAR, SCCA, AND SCCA'S NETWORK MEMBERS.
PART VI, LINE 5: SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE IS ONE OF A SMALL HANDFUL OF CANCER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE HAVING A POWERFUL IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN OUR STATE AND REGION, WHILE, AT THE SAME TIME, HAVING A DIRECT EFFECT ON HOW A WIDE RANGE OF CANCERS ARE UNDERSTOOD, PREVENTED, DIAGNOSED, AND TREATED AROUND THE WORLD. OUR CONTRIBUTION IS DEEP, BECAUSE SCCA BRINGS TOGETHER THE BEST TALENT OF THREE WORLD-RENOWNED MEDICAL CENTERS-FRED HUTCH, UW MEDICINE, AND SEATTLE CHILDREN'S-TO PIONEER NEW RESEARCH, AND THEN RAPIDLY APPLY OUR FINDINGS IN A CLINICAL SETTING. WE ARE ONE TEAM DEDICATED TO PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR PATIENTS. OUR CONTRIBUTION IS BROAD, BECAUSE WE HAVE UNPARALLELED RESOURCES TO SHARE WHAT WE KNOW THROUGH THE EDUCATION OF DOCTORS, NURSES, AND SCIENTISTS, PUBLICATION IN LEADING MEDICAL JOURNALS, AND SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND SYMPOSIA FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. WE ARE PROUD TO BE A HUB FOR CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME) IN OUR REGION.WITH THAT BACKGROUND AS CONTEXT, THERE ARE FOUR KEY AREAS IN WHICH SCCA HAS MADE A PARTICULARLY STRONG CONTRIBUTION TO OUR COMMUNITY SINCE OUR LAST FILING: GROUND BREAKING RESEARCH- WE ARE MAKING INCREDIBLE PROGRESS IN OUR EFFORT TO LEAD THE WORLD IN TRANSLATING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY INTO THE PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, AND CURE OF CANCER. THIS YEAR SCCA HAS MORE THAN 200 ACTIVE CLINICAL TRIALS OPEN FOR PATIENTS. IN FACT, SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE IS THE ONLY NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE-DESIGNATED COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER IN THE NORTHWEST-A DISTINCTION RESERVED ONLY FOR CENTERS WITH THE MOST IN-DEPTH RESEARCH PROGRAMS. AND, AS A RESEARCH HUB, WE ARE ABLE TO ATTRACT THE BEST AND MOST EXPERIENCED DOCTORS, NURSES, AND SPECIALISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.UNPRECEDENTED SURVIVAL RATES- THE FRED HUTCH BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT PROGRAM AT SCCA PIONEERED THE CLINICAL USE OF BONE MARROW AND STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION MORE THAN 40 YEARS AGO, AND HAS PERFORMED MORE THAN 14,000 BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS - MORE THAN ANY OTHER INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD. FOR CONSECUTIVE YEARS, OUR TRANSPLANT PROGRAM PROVIDED OUR PATIENTS WITH A HIGHER CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AS COMPARED TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF TRANSPLANT CENTERS NATIONWIDE. SCCA'S SUCCESS IN HELPING PATIENTS SURVIVE A WIDE RANGE OF CANCERS CONTINUES TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY NATIONAL CANCER DATA BASE RANKINGS. SCCA HAS RANKED AT THE TOP OF THESE PATIENT SURVIVAL RANKINGS SINCE 2002. ADDITIONALLY, SCCA IS RANKED AMONG THE TOP TEN BEST HOSPITALS IN THE NATION FOR ADULT CANCER TREATMENT BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT. A STUDY COMMISSIONED BY MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER (MSKCC) DOCUMENTED THAT SEEKING TREATMENT AT SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE, ALONG WITH TEN OTHER NATIONALLY DESIGNATED NCI CENTERS PROVIDES A 10% INCREASE IN SURVIVABILITY FOR PATIENTS LIVING WITH CANCER. EXTENSION OF OUR NETWORK TO PROVIDE MORE COMMUNITY-BASED CARE- WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR NETWORK TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY-BASED CARE THROUGHOUT THE NORTHWEST AND BEYOND. IN ADDITION TO OUR THREE ORIGINAL TREATMENT SITES AT SOUTH LAKE UNION, UW MEDICAL CENTER, AND SEATTLE CHILDREN'S, SCCA HAS ADDED A MEDICAL ONCOLOGY CLINIC AT EVERGREEN HEALTH IN KIRKLAND, WASHINGTON; MEDICAL AND RADIATION ONCOLOGY CLINIC AT UW MEDICINE'S NORTHWEST HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON; NEW NETWORK AFFILIATIONS WITH HOSPITALS IN WASHINGTON, OREGON, IDAHO, MONTANA, HAWAII, AND ALASKA, AND WE HAVE A CLINICAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH A PROTON THERAPY CENTER THAT FACILITATES MEDICAL OVERSIGHT OF THE CENTER.

IN ADDITION, SCCA HAS A LONG AND PROUD REPUTATION OF COLLABORATION WITH OTHER HEALTHCARE, GOVERNMENTAL, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAMS, WELLNESS INITIATIVES, AND AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS. BUT WE ARE NOT JUST ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY'S LARGER EMPLOYERS, AND MORE EFFECTIVE COLLABORATORS-WE ARE ALSO COMMUNITY SERVANTS IN THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE WORD. SCCA IS GOVERNED BY AN 18-MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS, COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SCCA LEADERSHIP TEAM, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM OUR ALLIANCE OWNERS AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS: UW, SEATTLE CHILDREN'S, AND FRED HUTCH.SCCA IS WHERE THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST PHYSICIANS, SCIENTISTS, AND CAREGIVERS FROM FRED HUTCH, UW MEDICINE, AND SEATTLE CHILDREN'S COME TOGETHER TO OFFER OUR COMMUNITY AN APPROACH TO TREATMENT OF CANCER THAT IS TRULY UNIQUE AND RARE.

WE ARE A PROUD CITIZEN OF THE NORTHWEST-DEVOTED TO PROVIDING THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE, AND COMMITTED TO LIVING UP TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF OUR REGION, AS WE SERVE PEOPLE FROM COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD.

Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 1A SCCA LEADERSHIP TEAM HAS MEMBERSHIPS AT LOCAL CLUBS TO ENABLE MEETINGS AND RECRUITMENT TO TAKE PLACE. JONATHAN TINGSTAD AND F. MARC STEWART RECEIVED THESE BENEFITS. SCCA HAS A DETAILED EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY FOR TRAVEL AND ENTERTAINMENT. THE HEALTH/SOCIAL CLUB DUES ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THE WRITTEN POLICY. SCCA REIMBURSES FOR THESE EXPENSES SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE OVERALL POLICY. ANY PAYMENTS WHICH ARE A TAXABLE FRINGE BENEFIT ARE INCLUDED IN THE TAXABLE INCOME REPORTABLE ON FORM W-2 FOR THE RECIPIENT. ALL RELATED CORPORATE EXPENSES ARE MONITORED BY THE ACCOUNTING SUPERVISOR FOR PERSONAL/BUSINESS USE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACCOUNTABLE PLAN AND REIMBURSEMENT POLICY.
PART I, LINE 4B THE SCCA OPERATES A MAKE-WHOLE SERP PLAN THAT WAS DESIGNED TO REPLACE THE BENEFITS THE PARTICIPANTS LOST DUE TO THE COMPENSATION LIMITS IMPOSED BY LAW UPON OUR QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN. IN THE MANNER REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE IRS RULES, THE DESIGN OF THIS ARRANGEMENT WAS APPROVED AS REASONABLE, IN ADVANCE, BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, WHICH BASED ITS DECISION ON THE DATA PROVIDED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. PARTICIPANTS' INTERESTS UNDER THESE ARRANGEMENTS (457(B) AND 457(F)) ARE NOT GUARANTEED OR SECURED IN ANY WAY AND AT ALL TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CLAIMS OF EMPLOYER'S BANKRUPTCY/INSOLVENCY CREDITORS. FURTHERMORE, ANY NON-VESTED BENEFIT UNDER THE 457(F) PORTION OF THIS PLAN IS FORFEITED IF A PARTICIPANT VOLUNTARILY TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT, OR IS TERMINATED BY THE EMPLOYER FOR CAUSE PRIOR TO THE APPLICABLE VESTING DATE OF THE PLAN. IN ADDITION, UNDER CURRENT LAW, INTERESTS UNDER THE 457(F) PLAN IS REPORTABLE AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION WHEN THEY BECOME VESTED, EVEN IF THOSE AMOUNTS ARE NOT YET PAYABLE TO THE PARTICIPANT (AND EVEN IF THOSE AMOUNTS ARE NEVER PAID TO THE PARTICIPANT). IN COMBINATION WITH THE OTHER RETIREMENT PROGRAMS OF THE EMPLOYER, THE MAKE-WHOLE SERP PLAN IS DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE A REASONABLE RETIREMENT BENEFIT LEVEL FOR EACH PARTICIPANT. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN THE MAKE-WHOLE SERP PLAN: HUBBARD, NORMAN E $37,571 TINGSTAD, JONATHAN M $10,912 GENTZEN, DEBORAH K $5,553 BEGINNING IN 2015, SCCA COMMENCED A CATCH-UP BENEFIT PLAN. THE BENEFITS ARE INTENDED AS A RETENTION INCENTIVE AND WILL BE ADMINISTERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH 457(F). THE BENEFIT IS BASED ON THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCUMULATED IF A SERP HAD BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE LATER OF 1998 OR THE DATE THAT THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED A SERP CONTRIBUTION. SUCH AMOUNT WILL BE CREDITED WITH INTEREST ANNUALLY AT THE PRIME RATE IN A BOOKKEEPING ACCOUNT. THE EXECUTIVE WILL RECEIVE A PORTION OF THE AMOUNT AS IT VESTS ON EACH VESTING DATE. UPON THE EXECUTIVE'S TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR ANY REASON, ANY UNVESTED PORTION REMAINING IN THE BOOKKEEPING ACCOUNT WILL BE FORFEITED. ON THE VESTING DATE IN 2015 THE FOLLOWING RECEIVED A PORTION OF THE CATCH-UP AMOUNT: HUBBARD, NORMAN E $61,003 TINGSTAD, JONATHAN M $31,011 GENTZEN, DEBORAH K $23,237 ACKERSON, DAVID $15,697

PART III, LINE 4, COLUMN B THE PERCENTAGE REPORTED ON LINE 4 REPRESENTS THE PERCENTAGE OF RESEARCH REVENUE FROM BOTH GOVERNMENTAL AND INDUSTRY SPONSORED RESEARCH. GOVERNMENT SPONSORED RESEARCH FALLS INTO A PRIVATE BUSINESS USE SAFE HARBOR, INDUSTRY SPONSORED DOES NOT. BECAUSE THE COMBINED REVENUE FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATELY SPONSORED RESEARCH IS LESS THAN THE APPLICABLE THRESHOLD, SCCA HAS ELECTED NOT TO DEVOTE THE RESOURCES REQUIRED TO ALLOCATE THE AGGREGATE RESEARCH REVENUE BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATELY SPONSORED RESEARCH. AS SUCH, PRIVATE BUSINESS USE DUE TO RESEARCH IS OVERSTATED. SCCA DOES NOT HAVE DIRECT CONTRACTS WITH INDUSTRY SPONSORED CORPORATIONS. SCCA PERFORMS SERVICES PRIMARILY FOR UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, AND FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER RESEARCH CENTER, A 501(C)(3) ENTITY. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AND FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER RESEARCH CENTER ARE CONDUCTING THE RESEARCH AND HAVE THE DIRECT CONTRACTS WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY SPONSORED RESEARCH.
