Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility A, 1 Facility A, 1 - REPORTING GROUP A. UM Shore Regional Health (SHS) conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) which was board approved on 5/22/2019, for the five counties of Maryland's Mid-Shore: Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne's, Dorchester, and Kent. UM SRH used primary and secondary sources of data as well as quantitative and qualitative data and consulted with numerous individuals and organizations during the CHNA, including community leaders, community partners, the University of Maryland Medical System Community Health Improvement Committee, the general public, local health experts, and the Health Officers representing the five counties of the Mid-Shore. Feedback from customers includes data collected from surveys, advisory groups and from our community outreach and education sessions. Secondary data resources referenced to identify community health needs include County Health Rankings (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org) and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's State Health Improvement Process (SHIP) (http://dhmh.maryland.gov/ship, and Maryland State Health Improvement Measures as Related to Activities in Rural Communities and Workforce Development (http://www.mdruralhealth.org/wp-content/uploads). Shore Regional Health participates on the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) Community Health Improvement Committee to study demographics, assess community health disparities, inventory resources and establish community benefit goals for both UM Shore Regional Health and UMMS. UM Shore Regional Health consulted with community partners and organizations to discuss community needs related to health improvement and access to care.

Access to care 2. Preventable ER visits 3. Chronic Disease management 4. Mental health/substance abuse 5. Cancer Overarching theme for addressing health priorities: 1. Reduce barriers to care 2. Improve care coordination 3. Focus on health outreach and education Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) Rural Health Study During the 2016 Legislative Session, Senate Bill 707 Freestanding Medical Facilities- Certificate of Need, Rates and Definition (SB 707), passed into law and was signed by the Governor on May 10, 2016. The legislation established a workgroup on rural health care delivery to oversee a study of healthcare delivery in the Middle Shore region and to develop a plan for meeting the health care needs of the five counties -- Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot. The purpose of the study was to assess the health care of the residents of the five-county study area and the capacities of the health system in the region, and propose options for enhancing health and health care delivery on the Mid-Shore. The research team was asked to consider: (1) the limited availability of health care providers and services; (2) the special needs of vulnerable populations, including the frail and elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants and patients with persistent behavioral illnesses; (3) barriers to access caused by transportation limitations; and (4) the economic impact of closures, partial closures or conversions of health care facilities. The Summary Report provides highlights of findings from all components of the study and integrates them into key recommendations. Methods and findings are detailed for review at: http://mhcc.maryland.gov/mhcc/pages/home/workgroups/documents/rural_health/September%2025th%202017%20Meeting/lgsrpt_%20ExecutiveSummary_rpt_20170928.pdf The University of Maryland Medical System in partnership with UM Shore Regional Health as members of the Rural Health Care Delivery Workgroup produced a white paper, Commitment to Meeting the Health Care Needs of Our Vulnerable Rural Communities. This paper explores concerns about the unique needs of rural hospitals and communities and can be accessed at: http://mhcc.maryland.gov/mhcc/pages/home/workgroups/documents/rural_health/July%2025th%202017%20Meeting/LGSRPT_Shore_White_Paper_rpt20170523.pdf

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of Community Health Based on qualitative and quantitative data collected and analyzed -specifically related to racial, ethnic and other demographic and geographic-related health disparities during the CHNA process, UM SRH's Implementation Plan is committed to the goals and strategies identified in the CNHA and to examining what evidence-based initiatives can improve the county's health. Maryland's State Health Improvement Process (SHIP) provides a framework for continual progress toward a healthier Maryland. Maryland's State Heath Improvement Process (SHIP) began with national, state and local data being reviewed and analyzed by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) Office of Population Health as well as by the five Departments of Health (Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne's, Kent). It has three main components: accountability, local action and public engagement. SHIP includes 39 measures that provide a framework to improve the health of Maryland residents. Twenty-eight of the measures have been identified as critical racial/ethnic health disparities. Each measure has a data source and a target, and where possible, can be assessed at the county level. UM SRH's priorities are aligned with the Maryland State Health Improvement Process vision areas and those objectives outlined by the local health improvement coalition. Health Priorities FY2020-2022 The top five priorities: 1. Access to care 2. Preventable ER visits 3. Chronic Disease management 4. Mental health/substance abuse 5. Cancer Several additional topic areas were identified by UM SRH: safe housing, transportation, and substance abuse. The unmet needs not addressed by UM SRH will continue to be addressed by key governmental agencies and existing community- based organizations. While UM SRH will focus the majority of our efforts on the identified priorities outlined in the CHNA Implementation Plan, we will review the complete set of needs identified in the CHNA for future collaboration and work. These areas, while still important to the health of the community, will be met through other health care organizations with our assistance as available. Initiative 1 Identified Need: Health Priority #1. Access to Care; Health Priority #5. Cancer How was the need identified: Identified through the CHNA process Name of hospital initiative: Shore Regional Wellness for Women Outreach and Wellness for Women Screening Describe the characteristics of the target population: Female population of five county area Outreach= age 25+ (approximately 32,000) Screenings= age 40-65, uninsured/eligible = 2,800 Age-adjusted mortality rate from cancer (per 100,000 population) in Maryland is higher than the US cancer mortality rate. Cancer impacts people across all population groups, however wide racial disparities exist. Maryland 2017 Goal 147.4 Maryland rate: 159.3 Caroline County: 173.5 Dorchester County: 195.2 Kent County: 149.7 Queen Anne's County: 160.4 Talbot County: 143 Total number of people reached by the initiative: Wellness for Women Outreach: 1,600 lives touched Screenings: 144 Primary objective of initiative: Reduce overall cancer death rate Age-adjusted mortality rate from cancer (per 100,000 population).

Blood Pressure Screenings- Free screenings offered at multiple locations every week - 275 referrals Radio Broadcasts - 200+ listeners for health show Maryland Health Matters- published 3x year, mailed to 77,300 households UM SRH operates under a unique regulatory system that caps hospital revenues and provides adjustments to allow for population health improvement investments. Under Maryland's global budget revenue model, UM SRH reports on a regular basis how it is investing in efforts to improve population health. UM SRH provides on-going services that are fundamental to addressing the identified community health needs that demonstrate the extent to which our commitment to serve our community is integrated into our care delivery model. We have a strong focus on treating patients with chronic conditions. UM Shore Regional Health works to coordinate care, ensure smooth transitions and promote disease self-management strategies at every step of a patient's journey - whether at home, in the community, or within our hospital. We operate specialized clinics to enable access to routine outpatient care. Our transitional care services help patients newly diagnosed or those that have had a recent hospitalization transition safely back to the community. Transitional nurse navigators provide patients with disease education and self-management strategies, connect them to primary care providers and specialists, and help them overcome any barriers to making follow up appointments. An urgent care center to address off hours visits and low acuity emergencies is also available. Our coudamin clinic provides anticoagulation medication management, specifically managing and monitoring warfarin (Coumadin) therapy upon physician referral. It also provides patients with ongoing monitoring of their anticoagulation therapy to ensure desired outcomes and decrease adverse events. Additionally, our behavioral health clinic provides a community access point for those in need of outpatient mental health services. Resources are embedded throughout the hospital and in the community so that every patient receives the same level of care coordination. Care managers are embedded within our emergency department and hospital, and provide in-home visits as needed. Community health workers reach out to patients who are identified as being high risk for readmission or in need of critical resources. Close relationships are maintained with skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies so that transfers from the hospital to these facilities are smooth, and the highest quality of care is constantly delivered. Strong relationships exist with local emergency medical service (EMS) providers through our mobile integrated health program, which delivers effective and efficient care to patients outside of the hospital. Nurses and community health workers function outside traditional emergency response roles, with a focus on maintaining individuals' health at their homes while also providing convenient access to care in the community. Additional care partners include primary care providers, specialists, local department of health, office on aging and other community based partners.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of Community Health We are proud to serve our community and appreciate our partners who allow us to fulfill our mission. We will always do what is right for the patient, no matter where they are in their health journey, and will always strive to have our patients receive care in the community they reside. As a part of the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) we are shaping a new paradigm in care delivery that we believe should be the future standard of care.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services SUBSIDIZED COSTS ARE NOT ATTRIBUTED TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC, BUT ANESTHESIA AND EMERGENCY HOSPITAL SERVICES.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation 8956896
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance Maryland's regulatory system creates a unique process for hospital payment that differs from the rest of the nation. The Health Services Cost Review Commission, (HSCRC) determines payment through a rate setting process and all payors, including governmental payors, pay the same amount for the same services delivered at the same hospital. Maryland's unique all payor system includes a method for referencing Uncompensated Care in each payors' rates, which does not enable Maryland hospitals to breakout any offsetting revenue related to Uncompensated Care. Community benefit expenses are equal to Medicaid revenues in Maryland, as such, the net effect is zero. Additionally, net revenues for Medicaid should reflect the full impact on the hospital of its share of the Medicaid assessment.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities Through a variety of community building activities, UM Shore Regional Health promotes health and wellness in the community it serves. These activities include: active engagement and collaboration with local Health Departments, Chambers of Commerce, and organizations that work to improve the quality of life for the residents of the Mid-Shore (Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne's, and Kent Counties) Because local action is essential to public health progress, UM Shore Regional Health works in partnership with public sector agencies, health care providers and community-based partners. In addition, a variety of clinical and non-clinical UM SRH associates serve on various coalition workgroups. The work of UM SRH and community-based partners continues on the identified priorities and objectives of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's (DHMH) State Health Improvement Process (SHIP). SHIP, launched in September 2011, focuses on improving the health of Maryland residents in six vision areas: Healthy Babies, Healthy Social Environments, Safe Physical Environments, Infectious Disease, Chronic Disease and Health Care Access. Under SHIP's umbrella, the coalition develops and implements strategies that will improve local public health. UM SRH maintains open communication with the Health Departments of Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne's, and Kent Counties, Mid-Shore Mental Health System, Choptank Community Health System, local government and schools. UM SRH's community outreach programs can be found in County schools, senior centers, community centers and churches throughout the Mid-Shore. UM SRH's director of community outreach participates in committees and advisory councils, promoting continuous dialogue between the medical center and community stakeholders. This provides opportunities for new ideas and programs to be exchanged, allowing UM SRH to maximize community outreach efforts. UM SRH seeks insight from community members attending educational programs through its outreach events. Program participants are asked to complete a brief survey evaluation, providing feedback and comments about the program they attended, as well as providing suggestions for future program topics.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC) STARTED SETTING HOSPITAL RATES IN 1974. AT THAT TIME, THE HSCRC APPROVED RATES APPLIED ONLY TO COMMERCIAL INSURERS. IN 1977, THE HSCRC NEGOTIATED A WAIVER FROM MEDICARE HOSPITAL PAYMENT RULES FOR MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BRING THE FEDERAL MEDICARE PAYMENTS UNDER HSCRC CONTROL. IN 2014, MARYLAND'S WAIVER WITH MEDICARE WAS RENEGOTIATED AND UPDATED TO REFLECT THE CURRENT HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. UNDER THIS NEW WAIVER, SEVERAL CRITERIA WERE ESTABLISHED TO MONITOR THE SUCCESS OF THE SYSTEM IN CONTROLLING HEALTHCARE COSTS AND THE CONTINUANCE OF THE WAIVER ITSELF: 1. REVENUE GROWTH PER CAPITA 2. MEDICARE HOSPITAL REVENUE PER BENEFICIARY 3. MEDICARE ALL PROVIDER REVENUE GROWTH PER BENEFICIARY 4. MEDICARE READMISSION RATES 5. HOSPITAL ACQUIRED CONDITION RATE BECAUSE OF THIS SYSTEM, THE HOSPITAL IS UNABLE TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH OF THE AMOUNT REPORTED IN LINE 2 IS ATTRIBUTED TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD APPLY UNDER THE FAP.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote THE CORPORATION RECORDS REVENUES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM PATIENTS AND THIRD-PARTY PAYORS AT THEIR ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE VALUE. REVENUE IS REDUCED FOR ANTICIPATED DISCOUNTS UNDER CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS AND FOR CHARITY CARE. AN ESTIMATED PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS RECORDED IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BASED UPON ANTICIPATED UNCOMPENSATED CARE, AND IS ADJUSTED AS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING HISTORICAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS AND TO ESTABLISH AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURERS, THE CORPORATION FOLLOWS INTERNAL GUIDELINES FOR PLACING CERTAIN PAST DUE BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE CORPORATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS, ALLOWANCE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS, PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, AND CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS OR WITH BALANCES REMAINING AFTER THE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE HAD ALREADY PAID, THE CORPORATION RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ULTIMATELY DO NOT PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DISCOUNTED RATES AND THE AMOUNTS COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs THE ORGANIZATION FILES ANNUALLY A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WITH THE STATE OF MARYLAND'S HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC). THE HSCRC, WHICH OPERATES UNDER A MEDICARE WAIVER, DOES NOT CONSIDER MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED BY THE ORGANIZATION IS A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS PAYMENT AT THE TIME THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED. OUR POLICY IS TO COMPLY WITH ALL STATE AND FEDERAL LAW AND THIRD PARTY REGULATIONS AND TO PERFORM ALL CREDIT AND COLLECTION FUNCTIONS IN A DIGNIFIED AND RESPECTFUL MANNER. 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, EVEN IN EXCESS OF 240 DAYS FOLLOWING THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT. 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 OR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS. NO EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS (ECAS) WILL OCCUR EARLIER THAN 120 DAYS FROM SUBMISSION OF FIRST BILL TO THE PATIENT AND WILL BE PRECEDED BY NOTICE 30 DAYS PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE ACTION. AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE COMMUNICATED TO THE PATIENT AND A PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY REVIEW WILL OCCUR PRIOR TO ANY ACTION BEING TAKEN. IF A PATIENT IS DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AFTER AN ECA IS INITIATED, THE ORGANIZATION WILL TAKE REASONABLE MEASURES TO REVERSE THE ECAS AGAINST THE PATIENT ACCOUNT.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment UM Shore Regional Health (SHS) conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) which was board approved on 5/22/2019, for the five counties of Maryland's Mid-Shore: Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne's, Dorchester, and Kent. UM SRH used primary and secondary sources of data as well as quantitative and qualitative data and consulted with numerous individuals and organizations during the CHNA, including community leaders, community partners, the University of Maryland Medical System Community Health Improvement Committee, the general public, local health experts, and the Health Officers representing the five counties of the Mid-Shore. Feedback from customers includes data collected from surveys, advisory groups and from our community outreach and education sessions. Secondary data resources referenced to identify community health needs include County Health Rankings (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org) and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's State Health Improvement Process (SHIP) (http://dhmh.maryland.gov/ship, and Maryland State Health Improvement Measures as Related to Activities in Rural Communities and Workforce Development (http://www.mdruralhealth.org/wp-content/uploads). Shore Regional Health participates on the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) Community Health Improvement Committee to study demographics, assess community health disparities, inventory resources and establish community benefit goals for both UM Shore Regional Health and UMMS. UM Shore Regional Health consulted with community partners and organizations to discuss community needs related to health improvement and access to care.

Access to care 2. Preventable ER visits 3. Chronic Disease management 4. Mental health/substance abuse 5. Cancer Overarching theme for addressing health priorities: 1. Reduce barriers to care 2. Improve care coordination 3. Focus on health outreach and education Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) Rural Health Study During the 2016 Legislative Session, Senate Bill 707 Freestanding Medical Facilities- Certificate of Need, Rates and Definition (SB 707), passed into law and was signed by the Governor on May 10, 2016. The legislation established a workgroup on rural health care delivery to oversee a study of healthcare delivery in the Middle Shore region and to develop a plan for meeting the health care needs of the five counties -- Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot. The purpose of the study was to assess the health care of the residents of the five-county study area and the capacities of the health system in the region, and propose options for enhancing health and health care delivery on the Mid-Shore. The research team was asked to consider: (1) the limited availability of health care providers and services; (2) the special needs of vulnerable populations, including the frail and elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants and patients with persistent behavioral illnesses; (3) barriers to access caused by transportation limitations; and (4) the economic impact of closures, partial closures or conversions of health care facilities. The Summary Report provides highlights of findings from all components of the study and integrates them into key recommendations. Methods and findings are detailed for review at: http://mhcc.maryland.gov/mhcc/pages/home/workgroups/documents/rural_health/September%2025th%202017%20Meeting/lgsrpt_%20ExecutiveSummary_rpt_20170928.pdf The University of Maryland Medical System in partnership with UM Shore Regional Health as members of the Rural Health Care Delivery Workgroup produced a white paper, Commitment to Meeting the Health Care Needs of Our Vulnerable Rural Communities. This paper explores concerns about the unique needs of rural hospitals and communities and can be accessed at: http://mhcc.maryland.gov/mhcc/pages/home/workgroups/documents/rural_health/July%2025th%202017%20Meeting/LGSRPT_Shore_White_Paper_rpt20170523.pdf
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance It is the policy of UM Shore Regional Health to work with our patients to identify available resources to pay for their care. All patients presenting as self pay and requesting charity relief from their bill will be screened at all points of entry, for possible coverage through state programs and a probable determination for coverage for either Medical Assistance or Financial Assistance (charity care) from the hospital is immediately given to the patient. The process is resource intensive and time consuming for patients and the hospital; however, if patients qualify for one of these programs, then they will have health benefits that they will carry with them beyond their current hospital bills, and allow them to access preventive care services as well. UM Shore Regional Health works with a business partner who will work with our patients to assist them with the state assistance programs, which is free to our patients. If a patient does not qualify for Medicaid or another program, UM Shore Regional Health offers our financial assistance program. UM Shore Regional Health posts notices of our policy in conspicuous places throughout the hospitals- including the emergency department, has information within our hospital billing brochure, educates all new employees thoroughly on the process during orientation, and does a yearly re- education to all existing staff. All staff have copies of the financial assistance application, both in English and Spanish, to supply to patients who, after screening, have a need for assistance. UM Shore Regional Health has a dedicated Financial Assistance Liaison to work with our patients to assist them with this process and expedite the decision process. Shore Health notifies patients of the availability of financial assistance funds prior to service during our calls to patients, through signage at all of our registration locations, through our patient billing brochure and through our discussions with patients during registration. In addition, the patient information sheet is mailed to patients with all statements and/or handed to them if needed. * Shore Health prepares its Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) in a culturally sensitive manner, at a reading comprehension level appropriate to the CBSA's population, and in Spanish. * Shore Health posts its FAP and financial assistance contact information in admissions areas, emergency rooms, and other areas of our facilities in which eligible patients are likely to present; * Shore Health provides a copy of the FAP and financial assistance contact information to patients or their families as part of the intake process; * Shore Health provides a copy of the FAP and financial assistance contact information to patients with discharge materials. * A copy of Shore Health's FAP along with financial assistance contact information, is provided in patient bills; and/or * Shore Health discusses with patients or their families the availability of various government benefits, such as Medicaid or state programs, and assists patients with qualification for such programs, where applicable. * An abbreviated statement advising of Shore Health's financial assistance policy, including a phone number to call for more information, is run annually in the local newspaper (Star Democrat)
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information Situated on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Shore Regional Health's three hospitals, University of Maryland Medical Center at Easton (UMC at Easton), University of Maryland Medical Center at Dorchester (UMC at Dorchester), University of Maryland Medical Center at Chestertown (UMC at Chestertown) are not- for-profit hospitals offering a complete range of inpatient and outpatient services to over 170,000 people throughout the Mid-Shore of Maryland. Shore Regional Health's service area is defined as the Maryland counties of Caroline, Dorchester, Talbot, Queen Anne's and Kent. UMC at Easton is situated at the center of the mid-shore area and thus serves a large rural geographical area (all five counties of the mid-shore). UMC at Dorchester is located approximately 18 miles from Easton and primarily serves Dorchester County and portions of Caroline County. UMC at Chestertown located in Chestertown, in Kent County merged with Shore Regional Health in July 2013. UMC at Chestertown serves the residents of Kent County, portions of Queen Anne's and Caroline Counties and the surrounding areas. The five counties of the Mid-Shore comprise 20% of the landmass of the State of Maryland and 2% of the population. The entire region has over 4,400 employers with nearly 45,000 workers. Only 50 of those employers employ 100 or more workers. The economic condition varies significantly throughout the region, especially for Caroline, Dorchester, and Kent Counties. It should be noted that Talbot County appears to have a significantly higher median income than Caroline and Dorchester; however, a large percentage of the population has incomes in line with those of Caroline and Dorchester. The figures for Talbot are somewhat skewed due to large incomes of a few individual families and high net worth individuals. Shore Regional Health's service area has a higher percentage of population aged 65 and older as compared to Maryland overall. Talbot County has a 27.2% rate for this age group and Kent County has 25.3% of its residents age 65 years or older. These rates are 65% higher than Maryland's average percentages, and higher than other rural areas in the state by almost a quarter. Today, more than two-thirds of all health care costs are for treating chronic illnesses. Among health care costs for older Americans, 95% are for chronic diseases. The cost of providing health care for one person aged 65 or older is three to five times higher than the cost for someone younger than 65.

JAMA. 1996;276(18):1473-1479 While progress is being made, the Mid-Shore economy still faces myriad of challenges that include limited access to affordable high speed broadband services, a shortage of affordable housing, an inadequate supply of skilled workers, low per capita income, and more layoffs in the manufacturing sector. (Source: Mid Shore Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy CEDS) County Health Rankings for the Mid-Shore counties also reveal the large disparities between counties for health outcomes in the service area. Overall, Queen Anne's County ranks 7th; Talbot County ranks 9th; Dorchester ranks 22nd; Caroline ranks 21st, Kent ranks 14th (out of 24 counties including Baltimore City) in health outcomes that indicate the overall health of the county (Source:http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/maryland/ 2019).

Services include medical and senior citizen demand services and fixed route county and regional service. While most of the region is served by the fixed routes, there are gaps in coverage in the less populated areas of the counties. The regional system, Maryland Upper Shore Transit (MUST), provides low cost service for the general public from Kent Island to Ocean City with convenient free transfer points at key locations on the shore. MUST is a coordinated effort of several Upper Shore agencies and governments to provide a regional transit system for Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline, and Dorchester Counties. Transit services are provided by Queen Anne's County Ride (operated by the county) and Delmarva Community Transit (DCT), a private company under contract to the counties. The system also includes Shore Transit, which provides scheduled routes on the lower shore. The MTA and the Maryland Department of Human Resources have provided funding. Overall management of the regional system is the responsibility of the Transportation Advisory Group (TAG). The County Commissioners of the five Upper Shore counties appoint the members of the TAG.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The University of Maryland Medical System ("UMMS") prepares the IRS Form 990 for UMMS and its affiliates. Information needed to complete the return is gathered by accounting personnel in the Finance Shared Services department under the supervision of the UMMS Tax Director. Draft returns are prepared using IRS-approved tax software. Once a draft return is prepared, it undergoes multiple levels of review both internally by UMMS tax & finance personnel, and externally by Ernst & Young LLP. Following any necessary changes to the return, a final draft is reviewed by each affiliate's vice president of finance and/or CFO. Prior to filing the IRS Form 990, the organization's board chairman, treasurer, governance committee, finance committee or other member(s) of the board with similar authority will review the IRS Form 990. All board members are provided with a copy of the final IRS Form 990 before filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The filing organization follows the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) Conflicts of Interest Policy, which requires that all Covered Persons disclose conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest between their personal interests and the interests of the organization, or any entity controlled by or owned in substantial part by the organization. Covered Persons means any member of the organization's Board of Directors, a member of a committee of the Board, an officer, or an employee of organization (including subsidiaries) at the VP level or above. The organization (or its sole member) is responsible for administering and enforcing the Conflicts of Interest Policy (Policy). The Governance Committee (or other Board committee having similar authority) reviews any and all conflicts, shall report annually to the full Board on the administration, infractions, and enforcement of the Policy and shall report at the earliest opportunity all matters of concern to the full Board in executive session while interested parties are recused. The organization or its sole member's Compliance Officer is the responsible administrative authority to assist the Board in administering and enforcing the Conflicts of Interest Policy and bringing concerns to the oversight committee. A questionnaire which discloses potential conflicts of interest is distributed annually to Covered Persons. The Chief Compliance Officer of the University of Maryland Medical System Corporation (UMMS) distributes and collects the responses for UMMS and other affiliates, and may be called for consult when potential conflicts are disclosed. If the oversight Committee determines that a Conflict of Interest exists, the Committee shall notify the Covered Person and the organization's Board Chair, and further will notify the full Board at its next meeting. Furthermore, in the event the Committee determines that an actual or perceived Conflict of Interest exists, the Committee shall decide how to address the Conflict of Interest. If the Committee determines that a Conflict of Interest exists but that the organization may enter into the subject transaction or arrangement, the interested Covered Person shall be recused from all deliberations and decisions concerning said transaction or arrangement, any arrangements with that entity, and compensation or benefits for officers, directors, and trustees. Furthermore, the Chair of the Board and the Chairs of the oversight Committee and the Audit and Compliance Committee shall not have any Business Transactions with UMMS, nor shall their Family Members. If the oversight Committee determines that a Covered Person has used their position to accrue Excess Benefits or to knowingly assist others in accruing Excess Benefits in any way at the expense of the organization, the Committee shall recommend to the Executive Committee appropriate corrective action to be taken.
