Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part V, Section B The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was conducted from February to October of 2016 with the purpose of gathering information about local health needs and health behaviors. The assessment used both primary and secondary research to illustrate and compare health trends and disparities across the region. Primary research solicited input from key community stakeholders representing the broad interests of the community, including experts in public health and individuals representing medically underserved, low-income, and minority populations. Secondary research identified demographic and health trends across geographic areas and populations. The Cooper Board of Trustees met on December 21, 2016 to review the findings of the CHNA and the recommended implementation strategy. The board voted to adopt the final summary report and the implementation strategy and provide the necessary resources and support to carry out the initiatives therein. The 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment was completed in July 2019. The report and the implementation strategy are set to be approved by the Board of Directors in December 2019. Question 5: The Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Ocean County Health Departments participated in the design and completion of Cooper's Community Health Needs Assessment, including meetings to identify and prioritize health needs. Specific research methods: - A review of secondary health and socioeconomic indicators for the service area. - An analysis and comparison of hospital utilization data. - Partner forums with community representatives and leaders to identify community health priorities and facilitate population health strategy collaboration. - Focus groups with health consumers. Question 6: The Health Assessment Collaborative included the following partners: Cooper University Hospital, Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Kennedy Health System, Lourdes Health System, Virtua Health, and the Health Departments of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Ocean Counties. Question 7A & 10A: WWW.COOPERHEALTH.ORG/about-us/community-health-needs-assessment - The implementation strategy is on pages 17 & 18. Question 11: A voting system based on the criteria of scope, severity, and ability to impact was used to help participants in the assessment prioritize local health needs. The prioritized list of health needs is as follows: 1. behavioral health and chronic disease comorbidities 2. linkages to care - access 3. substance abuse Cooper is addressing the significant needs identified in the recently conducted CHNA as follows: Behavioral health/chronic disease comorbidities: -creation of an advanced care center with implementation of an innovative multidisciplinary group visit model -Patients with similar diagnoses meet together and learn best practices of care together -community education programs and support groups linkages to care - access: -partnered with a third party vendor to assist patients in completing applications for financial assistance, medicaid, etc. -trained staff as certified application counselors to assist patients in obtaining insurance -launched urgent care services in three locations -implemented dedicated schedule slots with primary care physicians to ensure available follow-up appointments for patients within two weeks after hospital discharge Substance abuse: -implemented standardized, systematic mental health screening for all patients admitted to Cooper -launched an initiative to address the gaps in behavioral health resources and identify partnership opportunities in service provision -hosted and supported many community events in collaboration with the county's addiction awareness task force Rationale for community health needs not specifically addressed: Cooper recognizes that partnerships with community agencies have the broadest reach to improve community health issues. While additional disease specific and population specific needs were identified, the group found that other resources, such as the Southern New Jersey Perinatal Cooperative and disease specific resources were available and the health systems would be more effective in utilizing the available resources in addressing the prioritized needs.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE: THE INCOME BASED CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY IS PER NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 10:52 SUB CHAPTERS 11, 12 AND 13, AND BASED UPON THE 2015 POVERTY GUIDELINES (DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES). FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (FPG) ARE INCLUDED IN THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY AND DISCOUNTED CARE.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSES: THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $58,788,394. Part I, Line 7G FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST: NO COSTS RELATING TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PHYSICIAN CLINICS.
PART II COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: THE HEALTH OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IS OF COOPER'S UTMOST CONCERN. FROM HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS, COOPER STRIVES TO BE A RESPONSIBLE, INVOLVED COMMUNITY ADVOCATE. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT.
PART III, SECTION A, LINES 2 & 4 THE HEALTH SYSTEM ADOPTED ASU 2014-09 FOLLOWING THE MODIFIED RETROSPECTIVE METHOD EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018, FOR ITS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AS A RESULT OF IMPLEMENTING ASU-2014-09, CERTAIN PATIENT ACTIVITY WHERE COLLECTION IS UNCERTAIN (REPRESENTING $58,788,394) NO LONGER MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION AND, ACCORDINGLY, REPRESENTS A REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AS AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION. PLEASE SEE PAGES 15, 16 AND 28, 29 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR A DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC. THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CARE TO THOSE WHO MEET THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY PUBLIC LAW 1992 (CHAPTER 160) CHARITY CARE CRITERIA. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED CHARGES. THE HEALTH SYSTEM MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY IS ESTIMATED USING INTERNAL COST DATA AND IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE HEALTH SYSTEMS COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THE TOTAL DIRECT AND INDIRECT AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED, DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF COST, WAS $29,708,319 AND $36,029,421 (revised since prior year return) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017, RESPECTIVELY. THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S PATIENT ACCEPTANCE POLICY IS BASED UPON ITS MISSION STATEMENT AND ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, THE HEALTH SYSTEM ACCEPTS ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THIS POLICY RESULTS IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S ASSUMPTION OF SIGNIFICANT PATIENT RECEIVABLE CREDIT RISKS. FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018, AND FOR SERVICES PROVIDED SUBSEQUENT TO THE ADOPTION OF ASU 2014-09 ON JANUARY 1, 2018, FOR PATIENTS WHO WERE DETERMINED BY THE HEALTH SYSTEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY BUT DID NOT, THE EXPECTED UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION WHICH REDUCES NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. FOR PATIENT SERVICES PROVIDED PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31, 2017, PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF ASU-2014-09, FOR PATIENTS WHO WERE DETERMIEND BY THE HEALTH SYSTEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY BUT DID NOT, THE UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS WERE CLASSIFIED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS.
PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8 Medicare costs were derived from the 2018 Medicare Cost Report. Medicare underpayments (shortfall) and bad debt are community benefit and associated costs, in our opinion, should be 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 individual's in a non-discriminatory manner without regard to race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion 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) section 501(c)(3).The organization is recognized as a tax-exempt entity and charitable organization under IRC section 501(c)(3). 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 IRC section 501(c)(3) in its generally accepted legal sense, and provides examples of charitable purposes, including the relief of the indigent 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 section 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.
PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B COLLECTION PRACTICES: THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS PAYMENT AT THE TIME THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED. OUR POLICY IS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AS WELL AS IRC SECTION 501(R). EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR PATIENTS BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED AS DEFINED IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF AGE, RACE, CREED, SEX, OR ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY MAY REQUEST A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO SERVICE OR DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. THE ORGANIZATION MAY REQUEST THE PATIENT TO APPLY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE FORWARDED FOR COLLECTION DURING THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS.
PART VI, QUESTION 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Cooper Health System (CHS) conducts a review of key factor information annually which includes: a review of healthcare utilization of its service area population by services (urology, cardiology, obstetrics, etc.) For determining increased or decreased health needs; healthcare service estimates and forecasts (both and outpatient); assessments of local demographic and socioeconomic information; review of health status/needs assessments and studies conducted by external parties, including not limited to a community health needs assessment completed and approved by Cooper Health System in December 2016 as required by IRC Section 501(r).

About 47.5 percent of its inpatients are of minority race/ethnicity. In addition, approximately 9.23 percent of its patients are of underinsured and uninsured payer categories.
PART VI, QUESTION 3 PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE: It is the policy of Cooper University Hospital to assist uninsured and underinsured patients with hospital and physician bills by providing discounts and payment plan options when eligibility for Medicaid or Charity Care have been exhausted due to excess income or resources. 1. Patients are screened for all potential third party liability resources, including Cooper related grants. 2. Referrals directed to uninsured patient coordinator originate from accounts receivable management and data services, physician offices, clinics and any other Cooper Hospital, off campus, facilities and can be made prior to or after a specified date of service(s). 3. Uninsured patient coordinator contacts physician departments to inform them of patient need for discount, secures discounted rates, and forwards to patient. 4. Patients are quoted prices by the uninsured patient coordinator that corresponds to Medicare expected reimbursement rates for outpatient procedures and Medicare base diagnosis-related group rate for hospitalizations. 5. All discounted rates are presented to the patient as well as payment plan options using the pricing estimate software tool that stores and prints standard estimates for patients. 6. Uninsured discount plan insurance and adjustments are posted to Hospital and Professional billing system when appropriate. 7.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part VI Disclosures Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 A family relationship exists between George E. Norcross, III and Philip A. Norcross, ESQ. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b 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 other senior management members 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 senior management members for their review. The organization's finance personnel and other senior management members reviewed the draft Federal Form 990 and discussed questions and comment 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 other senior management members for further review and approval. The Form 990 is then presented to and reviewed by the members of the Cooper Health System Audit/Ethics & Compliance Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Bylaws of the Board of Trustees provide that this Committee of the Board review the annual Federal Tax Return prior to its filing. Once that Committee's review and approval process has concluded, the completed Form 990 is shared with the entire Board prior to its filing with the IRS.

The selected outside consulting firm prepares a written, detailed report reviewing compensation for more than 20 senior executives, which documents relevant market comparability data, as well as the methodology, job matches, and survey sources used for the executive compensation review, and includes the firm's opinion that the executives' compensation falls within a reasonable range of competitive market practice applicable to like positions among like organizations under like circumstances, for purposes of compliance with Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code; 3. The Executive Committee of the Board is the required internal approval agent for executive compensation. In that role the Committee reviews and considers all recommendations made by the Audit/Ethics & Compliance Committee, reviews and approves the report of the outside consulting firm, approves compensation for the affected executives based upon the report and recommendations, and where applicable, recommends to the full Board any actions which the Committee deems necessary in response to the outside consulting firm's report; 4.

This year's topics included anesthesiology, various cancers, gynecologic oncology, cancer survivorship, orthopaedics, hypnosis, cardiovascular disease, rheumatology, pediatric emergencies, and clinical research. All areas of interest are covered in our in-house series and joint-sponsorship series. 2. Graduate Medical Education - Cooper's GME programs train approximately 260 residents and fellows per year. Cooper Medical School of Rowan University In October 2009, Cooper and Rowan University announced a landmark partnership to establish a medical school - the first four-year allopathic medical school ever in Southern New Jersey and the first new medical school in 35 years in the state. Key to the partnership has been the collaboration between the institutions. Representatives from both Rowan and Cooper worked together to forge a founding philosophy for the school, explore partnerships in research areas, and create committees to work toward Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accreditation of the school. Cooper Medical School of Rowan University is located in Camden, NJ, at Broadway and Benson Streets. The six-floor, 200,000 square-foot school graduated its inaugural class in May 2016. 3.

Disaster Preparedness and Medical Coordination Center - The mission of the Division of EMS and Disaster Medicine is to maintain the integrity of the health care continuum as it relates to the response for a mass casualty incident involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, traumatic, and natural events through clinical care, education, training, and research. The goals for the Division are to provide subject matter expertise related to disaster medicine (emergency medical services, emergency medicine, trauma, toxicology, pediatrics, infectious diseases, environmental safety, radiation safety, and industrial hygiene); to provide education and training for all audiences involved in disaster preparedness through the National Disaster Life Support Regional Training Center; to participate in research initiatives to maintain the highest level of preparedness and pre-hospital care through evidence based medicine; to support a highly trained medical strike team that can respond to large chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and traumatic mass casualty events; and to collaborate with local, state, regional, and federal partners to assist in effective disaster planning. The Medical Coordination Center (MCC) serves as the regional hub for healthcare related emergency planning, training and response. The MCC located at CUH provides situational awareness, resource management, and information management for the healthcare continuum as it relates to emergency preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery. The primary area of responsibility for the CUH MCC is the entire Southern Region of New Jersey which consists of the seven Southern most counties as well as integration with Southeastern Pennsylvania (including the City of Philadelphia) and the State of Delaware (including the City of Wilmington). The MCC utilizes the expertise provided by the Division of EMS and Disaster Medicine, regional law enforcement, fire departments, emergency medical services, CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive) teams, technical rescue teams, etc., to assist the healthcare continuum in meeting their mission. 4.

Community benefit statement continued 6. Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers - Cooper provides significant support to this organization which was created as an opportunity for providers to network and discuss the common issues they face in running medical practices in Camden and providing care in a poor, urban environment. Camden Citywide Care Management Project In September 2007, the Coalition began implementation of a Citywide Care Management Project to reach out to high utilizers of city emergency rooms and hospitals. A part-time nurse practitioner, community health worker, and a full-time social worker staff the project. Patients are enrolled to the project by referral from emergency department physicians, inpatient physicians, and social workers. The project provides transitional primary care with a goal of moving the patients into a primary care setting that can meet their needs. With over sixty patients enrolled in our project; we are visiting them in homeless shelters, abandoned homes, hospital rooms, ED gurneys, and street corners. Practice Capacity Building Project The Coalition's philosophy is that by increasing capacity within local primary care offices we can help them achieve higher patient satisfaction, improved economic viability, and better health outcomes. Monthly roundtable meetings and seminars have been held for local office managers and providers to encourage peer-to-peer linkages, increase skills and knowledge of modern medical office management techniques and educate in specific practice management topics. Participation in this group leads to on-site consultation for individual offices, focusing on process flows, operations management, analyzing cycle times, and information management. Expansion of Access to Mental Health Care Psychiatry services are extremely difficult to access in underserved communities. The Coalition is developing a system of joint primary care/psychiatry appointments to increase a primary care provider's capacity to provide mental health care. The psychiatrist will provide mentoring, coaching and consultation to the primary provider. 7. Palliative Care Program The Palliative Care Program is designed to be integrated as part of a patient's care plan at any time, to manage symptoms related to treatment such as chemotherapy, or for symptoms that linger or appear after treatment is complete. Palliative care is the comprehensive treatment of the discomfort, symptoms and stress of serious illness. It does not replace a patient's primary treatment, but works together with treatment at any point in a patient's care. Palliative care also addresses psychological, social and spiritual concerns - all to achieve the best quality of life possible for each patient. At Cooper, the Palliative Care Program can help patients manage the common side effects of illness such as: pain, fatigue, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, depression and anxiety, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite and weight loss, weakness, sleep problems, confusion and end-of-life care. (D) Research-clinical and community health The Cooper Research Institute, established in January 2003, coordinates clinical trials and supports researchers at Cooper. Through basic and clinical research, faculty at Cooper is bringing scientific discoveries to life and providing thousands of patients in South Jersey with access to cutting-edge treatments in fields such as cancer, cardiology, critical care, diabetes, and gene therapy.Cooper faculty members currently conduct approximately 340 NIH and industry-sponsored clinical trials each year. Many of these studies are only available in South Jersey at Cooper. By participating in a clinical trial, an individual may have the first chance to benefit from improved treatment methods and the opportunity to make an important contribution to medical science. Past research by Cooper faculty has led to new standards of care and novel therapies in fields such as cancer, cardiology, surgery, and orthopedics. For example, Cooper faculty members have conducted studies that led to: new cancer treatments such as Rituxan for lymphoma, Iressa for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, Tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer, and Cisplatin plus radiation therapy for cervical cancer.
