The endowment funds have been contributed for specific purposes including construction, maintenance, research, clinical care, education, development, staffing, salaries, laboratory equipment and supplies, and convalescent care.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Health Ststem Corporation, the Medical Center, BMCHP, UDF, ECMF, BUAP, Faculty and the Plans, BACO, BMCICS, and BMCIC of Vermont are all nonprofit corporations that have been recognized as tax-exempt pursuant to Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The shareholders of NAB, before it was terminated, were nonprofit, tax-exempt corporations. The Health System recognizes income tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustainable based on the merits of the position. Management has concluded that there are no material uncertain tax positions that need to be recorded as of September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Health System annually assesses whether it must recognize an unrelated business income tax expense (UBIT). The amounts recognized as UBIT expense were not material to the Health System's consolidated operations or changes in net assets for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Focus Groups: Thirteen focus groups were conducted with specific populations of interest: 12 focus groups conducted specifically for the collaborative CHNA and one additional focus group conducted by work group members who submitted notes for the CHNA. Focus groups were 90-minute semi-structured conversations with approximately 8-12 participants per group and aimed to delve deeply into community's needs, strengths, and opportunities for the future. Focus groups were conducted with the following population groups, including residents of specific neighborhoods: Female low-wage workers (for example, housekeepers, child care workers, hotel service workers, etc.); Male low-wage workers (for example, janitorial staff, construction, etc.); Seniors (ages 65+) with complex, challenging issues (for example, homebound, medical complications); Residents who are housing insecure (no permanent address or close to eviction); Latino residents in East Boston (in Spanish); LGBTQ youth and young adults at risk of being homeless; Immigrant parents of school age children (5-18 years); Survivors of violence; mothers who have been affected by violence; Parents who live in public housing in Dorchester; Chinese residents living in Chinatown (in Chinese); Haitian residents living in Mattapan (in Haitian Creole); Residents in active substance use recovery; and Additional focus group with notes provided: Chinese residents living in Chinatown. A total of 104 community residents participated in focus groups, representing 13 neighborhoods across the city. Nearly half of focus group participants identified as Black or African American (45%), a third of participants identified as Hispanic or Latino (34%), and 10% identified as White. The majority of participants identified as female (57%), male 36%, and transgender or genderqueer are 7%. Fifteen community and social service organizations located throughout Boston assisted with recruiting participants and hosting focus groups. Key Informant Interviews: A total of 45 key informant interviews were completed, six of which were additional interviews submitted by work group volunteers. Interviews were 45-60-minute semi-structured discussions that engaged institutional, organizational, and community leaders and front-line staff across sectors. Discussions explored interviewees' experiences of addressing community needs and opportunities for future alignment, coordination, and expansion of services, initiatives, and policies. Sectors represented in these interviews included: public health, health care, housing and homelessness, transportation, community development, faith, education, public safety, environmental justice, government, workforce development, social services, and food insecurity, and business organizational staff who work with specific population such as youth, seniors, disabled, LGBTQ, and immigrants. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, lines 6a Boston Medical Center conducted the CHNA with the following hospital facilities: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Tufts Medical Center.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, PART I, LINE 3C For patients who fall outside Commonwealth assistance programs, patients are charged at the same levels as insurers are charged; however, they are offered a prompt-pay discount of 40% (regardless of income level, etc.) if the payments are made within the first 30 days from service. Introduction The statute that provided the authority to create Boston Medical Center (BMC) requires it to serve all populations. BMC is a private, not-for-profit, 514-bed, urban academic medical center which emphasizes community-based, accessible care. its mission is to provide consistently accessible health services to all in need of care regardless of status and ability to pay. BMC is the largest safety-net hospital in New England and provides a full spectrum of pediatric and adult care services from primary to family medicine to advanced specialty care. Driven by the recognition that certain social determinants affect health outcomes among our patients and community, the goal of our community health improvement activities, or community benefits, is to improve community health. Approximately 57% of our patients are from underserved populations, such as the low-income and elderly, who rely on government payers such as Medicaid, the Health Safety Net and Medicare for their coverage, and 32% do not speak English as a primary language. To address the health needs of its diverse patient population, BMC provides a wide range of services beyond the traditional medical model. These programs, including patient navigation and a food pantry, help reduce barriers to gaining access to health services and eliminate disparities in health care among the various populations BMC serves. With more than 25,000 admissions and 1 million patient visits per year, BMC provides a comprehensive range of inpatient, clinical and diagnostic services in more than 70 areas of medical specialties and subspecialties. The largest 24-hour Level I trauma center in New England, BMC's Emergency Department has more than 130,000 patient visits annually. BMC serves the urban community of Greater Boston. The majority of the communities that BMC serves are Boston census tracts that are federally-designated medically underserved areas/populations. Although individuals in Massachusetts can seek care at any hospital, BMC remains the largest safety net provider in Boston and New England. The implementation of healthcare reform in massachusetts did not reduce the real number or percent of underserved communities served by BMC. An estimated 20.5% of Boston residents live below the federal poverty level. According to the Massachusetts Health Insurance Survey's 2019 research brief, an estimated 4% of residents were uninsured and 96% of Massachusetts residents had coverage during the survey of which 62.7% reported employer-sponsored insurance and 37.3% reported other (non-employer-sponsored) insurance. Still, insured residents in fair or poor health struggle to afford health care with 25% reporting challenges paying their medical bills. OF BMC'S PATIENTS IN 2019, APPROXIMATELY 2.3% WERE UNINSURED AND COVERAGE RATES FOR PRIMARY INSURANCE WERE APPROXIMATELY: 30.6% MEDICARE; 42.0% MEDICAID; 18.3% PRIVATE OR EMPLOYER-SPONSORED INSURANCE; 5.9% COMMONWEALTH CONNECTOR AND 0.9% OTHER.
Schedule H, PART I, LINE 5C The organization's charity care did not exceed budgeted amounts. The budgeted amounts are predicted charity care amounts. The organization did not have any excess funds.
Schedule H, PART I, LINE 7 FOR THE CALCULATION OF COSTS OF CHARITY CARE (LINE 7A) & MEDICAID COST (LINE 7B), AN OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED. A COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE TOTAL CHARGES FOR ALL SERVICES INTO THE TOTAL COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES. THE RATIO IS MULTIPLIED BY THE CHARGES FOR CHARITY CARE and MEDICAID TO OBTAIN THEIR RESPECTIVE COSTS. FOR THE CALCULATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES (LINE 7E) DISCRETE COSTING WAS USED. FOR THE CALCULATION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION COST (LINE 7F) THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID services (CMS) COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY (CMS FORM 2552) WAS USED. CMS FORM 2552 IS A REQUIRED ANNUAL FILING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Schedule H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE WAS $0. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2019, BMC RECOGNIZED NET FAVORABLE SETTLEMENTS FROM MEDICARE, MEDICAID, BMCHP, BLUE CROSS AND OTHER PAYORS RELATED TO PRIOR YEARS OF APPORXIMATELY $2,099,000.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN BOSTON HEALTHNET: WHILE THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES CONTINUES TO GROW, IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS TO MEET THE DEMAND. REIMBURSEMENT OFTEN DOES NOT COVER THE FULL COST OF CARING FOR THE COMPLEX NEEDS OF HEALTH CENTERS' DIVERSE PATIENT POPULATION. COMPOUNDING THIS PROBLEM, IN THE MID-LATE 1990S, MANY HEALTH CENTERS FOUND THEMSELVES OPERATING IN FACILITIES THAT WERE IN DESPERATE NEED OF RESTORATION OR EXPANSION. COSTLY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES WERE ALSO REQUIRED TO ENHANCE MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCIES AND PATIENT CARE. IN RESPONSE TO THE HEALTH CENTERS' NEEDS, BMC PROVIDED APPROXIMATELY $15.8 MILLION IN OPERATING SUPPORT TO THE BOSTON HEALTHNET HEALTH CENTERS EACH YEAR. OTHER NET SUBSIDIES INCLUDE MOSTLY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

Schedule H, PART VI, LINE 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT In 2019, BMC conducted a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in collaboration with community organizations, Boston residents, health centers, hospitals and the Boston Public Health Commission. The Boston Community Health Needs Assessment-Community Health Improvement Plan Collaborative formed to undertake the first Boston-wide CHNA and COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP). Focusing on the social determinants of health and using a health equity lens, the Collaborative employed a participatory approach that engaged the community in every step of the CHNA. This CHNA focuses on the social determinants of health using a health equity lens. The influences of race, ethnicity, income, and geography on health patterns are often intertwined. In the United States, social, economic, and political processes ascribe social status based on race and ethnicity, which may influence opportunities for educational and occupational advancement and housing options, two factors that profoundly affect health. Institutional racism, economic inequality, discriminatory policies, and historical oppression of specific groups are many of the root factors that drive the health inequities we see in the U.S. today. The CHNA used a participatory, collaborative approach that engaged the community through different avenues. Over 100 Collaborative members representing health care, public health, education, community development, social service, and community-based organizations provided input throughout the CHNA process and played an integral role in data collection efforts. Data collection efforts were focused on engaging hard-to-reach populations who are not typically engaged in these processes or represented in the secondary data. Existing data were drawn from national, state, and city sources, such as the U.S. Census, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and Boston Public Health Commission, including datasets such as the Boston Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BBRFSS). For new data collection, over 91 organizations and 2,500 individuals were engaged in a CHNA community survey (N=2,404) administered online and in-person in seven languages, 13 focus groups with community residents (N=104), and 45 interviews with organizational and community leaders to gauge their perceptions of the community's needs, strengths, and opportunities. Like all data gathering efforts, there are limitations to the CHNA data. Secondary data have a time lag, and various sources may use different definitions for similar topics. Data may be aggregated across time, geographies, or population groups to provide large enough sample sizes. More granular analysis for specific neighborhoods or ethnic groups within larger racial/ethnic categories is not possible. Primary data such as the survey and focus groups use a convenience sample which may not be representative of the larger population. Thirteen focus groups were conducted with specific populations of interest: 12 focus groups conducted specifically for the collaborative CHNA and one additional focus group conducted by work group members who submitted notes for the CHNA. Focus groups were 90-minute semi-structured conversations with approximately 8-12 participants per group and aimed to delve deeply into community's needs, strengths, and opportunities for the future. Focus groups were conducted with the following population groups, including residents of specific neighborhoods: Female low-wage workers (FOR EXAMPLE, housekeepers, child care workers, hotel service workers, etc.); Male low-wage workers (FOR EXAMPLE, janitorial staff, construction, etc.); Seniors (ages 65+) with complex, challenging issues (FOR EXAMPLE, homebound, medical complications); Residents who are housing insecure (no permanent address or close to eviction); Latino residents in East Boston (in Spanish); LGBTQ youth and young adults at risk of being homeless; Immigrant parents of school age children (5-18 years); Survivors of violence; mothers who have been impacted by violence; Parents who live in public housing in Dorchester; Chinese residents living in Chinatown (in Chinese); Haitian residents living in Mattapan (in Haitian Creole); Residents in active substance use recovery; and Additional focus group with notes provided: Chinese residents living in Chinatown. A total of 104 community residents participated in focus groups, representing 13 neighborhoods across the city. Nearly half of focus group participants identified as Black or African American (45%), a third of participants identified as Hispanic or Latino (34%), and 10% identified as White. The majority of participants identified as female (57%), 36% identified as male, and 7% identified as transgender or genderqueer. Fifteen community and social service organizations located throughout Boston assisted with recruiting participants and hosting focus groups. A total of 45 key informant interviews were completed, six of which were additional interviews submitted by work group volunteers. Interviews were 45-60-minute semi-structured discussions that engaged institutional, organizational, and community leaders and front-line staff across sectors. Discussions explored interviewees' experiences of addressing community needs and opportunities for future alignment, coordination, and expansion of services, initiatives, and policies. Sectors represented in these interviews included public health, health care, housing and homelessness, transportation, community development, faith, education, public safety, environmental justice, government, workforce development, social services, AND food insecurity, AND business organizational staff WHO work with specific populationS such as youth, seniors, disabled, LGBTQ, and immigrants. Key findings that emerged from the CHNA included health care access and utilization, chronic diseases and risk factors, mental health and substance abuse, violence, housing affordability, environmental health. Unwavering in our commitment to address the health needs of our community, BMC provides a wide range of programs beyond the traditional medical model. Core to fulfilling our public health mission and consistent with the CHNA findings, the goals of our community benefits program are to improve access to health services and improve health outcomes for underserved populations in our community.

Schedule H, PART VI, LINE 5: PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH Health Care Access Birth Sisters and Centering Pregnancy: BMC has developed two programs, Birth Sisters and Centering Pregnancy, to improve health outcomes of childbearing women at risk for poor maternal and infant outcomes. Birth Sisters are women who are trained to provide social support and education to mothers from their own communities during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. The Birth Sisters program has been linked to significantly higher breastfeeding rates and fewer cesarean deliveries. Centering Pregnancy is an innovative and proven model of care that offers prenatal care in 12 two-hour group sessions using a curriculum modified to meet the complex social needs of BMC's population. At these sessions, beginning early in the second trimester, patients receive health visits, prenatal and parenting education, and peer group support all in one visit. The programs served 253 patients in FISCAL YEAR 2019. Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights: The mission of the BOSTON CENTER FOR REFUGEE HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS is to provide comprehensive health care for refugees and survivors of torture and related trauma, coordinated with legal aid and social services; to educate and train agencies and professionals who serve these communities; to advocate for the promotion of health and human rights in the United States and worldwide; and to conduct clinical, epidemiological, and legal research for the better understanding and promotion of health and quality of life for survivors of torture and related trauma. The CENTER served 484 patients in FISCAL YEAR 2019. CATALYST Clinic: In May 2016, Boston Medical Center launched the CATALYST Clinic (Center for Addiction Treatment for Adolescent/Young adults who use Substances), a program designed to treat young people aged 25 and under who are struggling with substance use, or who have experimented with drugs and alcohol and may be at risk for developing an addiction. The CATALYST Clinic team works to provide interdisciplinary, team-based care that includes physicians, a nurse, a social worker, a community outreach navigator and a program manager. The CATALYST Clinic team works together to offer assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various substance use disorders, as well as a transition from adolescent to adult care when appropriate. In Fiscal Year 2019, the CATALYST Clinic received approximately 98 referrals to the clinic; 552 have been received since the program's inception. Child Life Program: The Child Life Program assists children and families in managing the stresses associated with hospitalization and illness. The PROGRAM team members are all trained developmental specialists, aiming to support children and families through the hospital experience. The goals of the PROGRAM are to help children express their feelings through play in a safe and supportive environment; advocate for children, offering support to effectively work through pain management; offer children developmentally appropriate choices that increase feelings of independence, self-esteem, and trust; and assist with implementation of coping techniques during stressful situations. The PROGRAM currently covers the areas of inpatient Pediatrics and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Ambulatory Care Clinic, Pediatric Emergency Department, and Pediatric Otolaryngology/OR; THE PROGRAM will be adding a position for Radiology. The team remains a consult service to children of adult families as needed. Clothing Bank: BMC's social workers use the clothing bank in real time when a provider contacts Social Work about a basic clothing need (sweatpants, shirts, underwear, socks, shoes, and winter coats) for a low-income patient. The Center for the Urban Child and Healthy Family, launched in 2016, is working to implement Boston Medical Center's vision of making Boston one of the healthiest cities in the world by ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to be healthy and achieve their full potential. The Center is creating a system of pediatric health care that actively promotes health equity and eradicates disparities. As an innovation hub within the Department of Pediatrics, the Center creates and tests innovative health care delivery models, working in partnership with families, communities and other child- and family-serving sectors. The Center has set a goal that by 2028, all children cared for by BMC Pediatrics are healthy and ready to learn with adequate supports to thrive by age five. To achieve this goal, the Center co-developed a new model of pediatric primary care- the Pediatric Practice of the Future - with families and pediatric providers. This model supports whole family development with attention to factors influencing well-being and bringing together care in a systematic, equitable way to promote wellness throughout the life course. In addition, the Center is partnering with BMC HealthNet Plan, BMC's health insurance program, to test alternative payment models to ultimately redefine value in pediatric care. Elders Living at Home Program: The goal of THE ELDERS LIVING AT HOME PROGRAM is to help older adults who are homeless or at risk for homelessness secure and maintain a permanent residence and live as independently as possible. THE PROGRAM served 262 clients during the 2019 fiscal year. Of this number, 128 received housing search and placement services; 101 received housing stabilization services; 72 received homelessness prevention assistance; 38 received nutritional assistance; and 75 clients were served through the Living Well at Home Project, a community-based complex care management pilot designed to improve health outcomes for frail residents of an elderly/disabled housing complex in Roxbury. Some clients received more than one type of service. All clients suffer from at least one chronic illness, and 252 suffer from two or more disabling medical conditions. Remarkably, all of the program clients who were placed in housing and all who received stabilization services have remained safely housed during this period. Of those clients who received homelessness prevention services, all but one case was successfully resolved. One client was too far along in the eviction process for us to intervene successfully; however, we were able to assist her in relocating to Maine to live with her daughter. Over the last ten years, the success rate of THE PROGRAM'S stabilization services is 98%. Grow Clinic: The Grow Clinic was founded in 1984 within BMC's Pediatrics DEPARTMENT. The primary goal of the Grow Clinic is to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary medical, nutritional, social services and developmental support to children from the Greater Boston area diagnosed with Failure to Thrive. Children with FAILURE TO THRIVE have significant difficulty growing because of malnutrition associated with illness, poverty, and other family stressors. The effects of FAILURE TO THRIVE include shortened attention spans, emotional problems, delayed cognitive development, lasting growth failure, and frequent serious illness, which can result in hospitalization. The Grow Clinic provides medical treatment, nutritional assessment, home health education, social service advocacy, developmental referrals, access to BMC's PREVENTATIVE food pantry, nutritional supplements, children's clothes, diapers, books and educational toys. THE GROW CLINIC TREATS approximately 200 children EACH YEAR. In FISCAL YEAR 2019 there were 90 new patients. Twenty-three percent (23%) of clinic patients were 12 months of age or younger; the average age at referral was 32 months; and the average length of treatment was 24 months. There were 1,010 total clinic visits during this period. Approximately 6% of patient families were homeless and living in shelters. Clinicians made 523 home visits in FISCAL YEAR 2019. All patients demonstrated improved growth, and 80% demonstrated significant weight improvement. Immigrant and Refugee Health Program: The Immigrant & Refugee Health Program provides comprehensive primary care services to immigrant and refugee patients. The team of clinicians takes care of general healthcare needs through regular check-ups, immunizations, and screenings, as well as through providing care for illnesses and injuries. If needed, the team will coordinate patient care with a specialist for a more serious health issue. Foreign and sign language interpreters are available to help patients communicate with the staff. The practice provides on-site interpreters and over the phone interpreters for more than 250 languages. The program also offers access to psychiatric and case management support to provide care for the wide range of patient needs. Boston Medical Center's Immigrant and Refugee Health Program sees over 400 new immigrant, refugee, and asylum seeker patients per year and has an overall long-term primary care patient population of about 2,200. Integrative Medicine: Started in 2004, the
Schedule H, PART VI, LINE 6 BMC HealthNet Plan BMC HealthNet Plan is a non-profit health plan that provides health insurance coverage to Massachusetts residents, including low income, underserved, disabled and elderly populations. It was established in 1997 by Boston Medical Center, the largest safety net hospital in New England, and has more than 20 years of experience delivering accessible care to complex populations. BMC HealthNet Plan also provides health coverage to Medicaid members in New Hampshire, where it operates as Well Sense Health Plan. BMC HealthNet Plan serves over 330,000 members across Massachusetts. Boston HealthNet (BHN) Established in 1995, Boston HealthNet is an integrated health care delivery system comprised of BMC, the Boston University School of Medicine, and 14 community health centers. The partnership has become a national model for community health care networks. Physicians who practice at HealthNet locations provide a wide range of comprehensive health care services to adult and pediatric patients, with a focus on disease prevention and health education. All physicians working in the health centers must be credentialed as members of BMC medical staff. Patients receiving primary care at HealthNet sites have access to highly trained specialists and cutting-edge technology at BMC while maintaining individualized and culturally sensitive care in their neighborhoods. Now in its TWENTY-FIFTH year, BOSTON HEALTHNET and its COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER partners have extended BMC's presence into Boston-area neighborhoods, significantly IMPROVING the health of their residents. The accomplishments of the network are evidenced by the high volume of COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER admissions to BMC; the collaborative development of quality improvement initiatives, clinical protocols, and standards of practice; increased access to specialty services; and the significant coordination of BOSTON HEALTHNET'S information technology programs and services. In 2015 and in collaboration with BMC, nine of the BOSTON HEALTHNET COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS began the process of implementing a new ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD and practice management system. The implementation of the new ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD system, OCHIN EPIC, greatly enhanced the care coordination efforts between Boston HealthNet COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS and the specialty clinics at Boston Medical Center. Grants: Boston HealthNet partners with the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers to participate in a federal Health Center Controlled Network grant, a $900,000 three year grant (2019 - 2022) that supports quality improvement, data quality, reporting, and clinical EMR training. Research: A BOSTON HEALTHNET Research Subcommittee was set up in 2005 to review research projects that are proposed at the health centers with over 250 projects reviewed to-date. Increasing Patient Access: Community Access to BMC is enhanced through a free shuttle bus service and the UBER Health program. One shuttle bus is provided to East Boston Neighborhood Health Center that circulates twice an hour and the UBER program is to allow patients greater access to appointments for patients at 10 other health centers. On average, the shuttle bus transports over 210,000 patients and their families between BMC and EAST BOSTON EACH YEAR. The UBER Health program, implemented to SERVE 10 Boston HealthNet Health Centers, transports about 2,200 patients to BMC each year. Advancing Medical Education: A number of Boston HealthNet community health centers also serve as the primary community-based training sites for Boston University School of Medicine pediatric, family medicine, psychiatry and general medicine residents. Boston HealthNet COORDINATES community health center engagement with nearly 240 Boston University School of Medicine students to provide community-based education programs. BUSM students and physician assistants round at community health centers to supplement their training with direct patient contact. Community health center participation in the BMC residency training program has placed 80 residents at community health centers in the 2020 academic year. Boston Accountable Care Organization: Currently, nine Boston HealthNet community health centers participate in BOSTON ACO. BOSTON ACO enters into risk arrangements with government programs and commercial insurers and the BOSTON ACO participants are collectively accountable for the quality and cost of the care they provide. BOSTON ACO's most significant risk arrangement is with the MassHealth ACO program. With its participation in the MassHealth ACO program BOSTON ACO became clinically and financially integrated with BMC Health System - which includes Boston Medical Center, Boston University Medical Group, and BMC HealthNet Plan - and the parties engage in joint decision making over all substantive decisions regarding participation in the program.

Part II, Line 4: Debt service reserve fund was funded by proceeds of the prior bonds. Part II, Line 13: Since the proceeds of the 2012 bonds were used for refunding purposes, the year of substantial completion is not applicable. Part III: Because proceeds of the bonds were used to refund bonds issued before January 1, 2003, the issuer is not required to complete Part III. Part IV, Line 1: Boston Medical Center remitted an arbitrage rebate payment, along with Form 8038-T, to the IRS on or before August 13, 2017 (within 60 days of the fifth bond year). COLUMN B Part II, Line 3: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOTAL PROCEEDS IN PART II, LINE 3 AND THE ISSUE PRICE OF THE BOND ISSUE IS DUE TO INTEREST EARNED ON BOND PROCEEDS.

PART I(F): THE BORROWER'S PORTION OF THE BONDS REFINANCED THE PORTION OF THE ISSUER'S SERIES M3-B (2005) BONDS (ISSUES ON OCTOBER 3, 2005) ALLOCABLE TO THE BORROWER. PART II, LINE 4: THE RESERVE HAS BEEN FUNDED BY THE PROCEEDS OF THE PRIOR BONDS. PART II, LINE 13: SINCE THE PROCEEDS OF THE BONDS WERE USED FOR REFUNDING PURPOSES, THE YEAR OF SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION IS NOT APPLICABLE. PART IV, LINE 2(B): BOND PROCEEDS WERE EXPENDED TO FINANCE A CURRENT REFUNDING, WHICH HAS MET AN EXCEPTION TO THE REBATE REQUIREMENT. THE BOND PROCEEDS WERE SPENT WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF THE ISSUE DATE.
