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, 2020 and 2019.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Focus Groups: Thirteen focus groups were conducted with specific populations of interest: 12 focus groups were conducted specifically for the collaborative Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and one additional focus group was 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 (e.g. housekeepers, child care workers, hotel service workers, etc.); Male low-wage workers (e.g. janitorial staff, construction, etc.); Seniors (ages 65+) with complex, challenging issues (e.g. 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 an additional focus group in Chinese with 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. Additional data on focus group participant characteristics can be found in Appendix F. Fifteen community and social service organizations located throughout Boston assisted with recruiting participants and/or 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, food insecurity, and business organizational staff that work with specific population such as youth, seniors, disabled, LGBTQ, and immigrants. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, lines 6a Boston Medical Center (BMC) 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. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, lines 6b Boston Medical Center conducted the CHNA with the following organizations: Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, Boston Public Health Commission, Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation, Community Labor United, Fenway Community Health Center, Health Leads, Madison Park Development Corporation, Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, Upham's Corner Health Center, and Urban Edge.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 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. 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. For detailed information about each of the programs and initiatives that addressed these needs last year, please see Schedule H, Part VI, Supplemental Information, promotion of community health below.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13a 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.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13h By the definition of BMC's financial assistance policy, patients who qualify for financial assistance have applied for one of the Commonwealth's financial assistance programs (connectorcare, medicaid, or health safety net) or have been provided urgent/emergent services. In those instances, patients are viewed as unable to pay for these charges and the hospital submits the charge for reimbursement from the health safety net.

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 created Boston Medical Center (BMC) requires it to serve all populations. BMC is a private, not-for-profit, 514-bed, urban academic medical center. It emphasizes community-based, accessible care and is grounded by its mission 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 social determinants of health that impact health outcomes among our patients and community, the goal of our community health improvement activities, or community benefits, is to improve community health. Approximately 59% of our patients are from underserved populations, such as the low-income and the 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 but not limited to patient navigation and a food pantry, help reduce barriers to accessing health services and eliminate inequities in healthcare among the various populations BMC serves. With more than 25,816 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, BMCs Emergency Department has more than 139,577 patient visits annually. BMC serves the urban community of Greater Boston. The majority of the communities that BMC serves are located in Boston census tracts that are federally-designated medically underserved areas/populations. Although Massachusetts universal care enables individuals to seek care at any hospital, BMC remains the largest safety net provider in Boston and New England. An estimated 18.9% of Boston residents live below the federal poverty level. The implementation of universal care did not reduce the real number or percent of underserved communities served by BMC According to the Massachusetts Health Insurance Surveys 2019 research brief, an estimate of 2.9% of residents were uninsured and 92% of Massachusetts residents had coverage for the full year during the survey of which 64.4% reported employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) and 34.5% reported other non-ESI. Still, insured residents in fair or poor health have high rates of affordability issues with 25.5% reporting challenges paying their medical bills. Of BMCs patients in 2020, approximately 9.63% were uninsured and coverage rates for primary insurance were approximately: 18.40% Medicare; 34.06% Medicaid; 36.44% private or employer-sponsored insurance; 6% Commonwealth Connector and 1.1% 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 2020, BMC RECOGNIZED NET FAVORABLE SETTLEMENTS FROM MEDICARE, MEDICAID, BMCHP, BLUE CROSS AND OTHER PAYORS RELATED TO PRIOR YEARS OF APPORXIMATELY $946,705
Schedule H, PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: BMC CONTRIBUTES TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS PAYMENT OF LINKAGE FEES TO THE CITY OF BOSTON.

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.

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 (the CHNA-CHIP Collaborative) formed to undertake the first Boston-wide CHNA and 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 communitys 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 communitys 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 (e.g. housekeepers, child care workers, hotel service workers, etc.); Male low-wage workers (e.g. janitorial staff, construction, etc.); Seniors (ages 65+) with complex, challenging issues (e.g. homebound, medical complications); Residents who are housing insecure (no permanent address or close to eviction); Latino residents living 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 living 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 an additional focus group with 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. Additional data on focus group participant characteristics can be found in Appendix F. Fifteen community and social service organizations located throughout Boston assisted with recruiting participants and/or 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, food insecurity, business organizational staff that work with specific population 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, and 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 to address these social determinants of health. 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: Between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020, we adapted our CenteringPregnancy program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, in-person Centering sessions were suspended to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Due to changes in access to services and recommendations around physical distancing, patients have reduced access to childbirth education resources, social support, and are at increased risk for social isolation and stress due to COVID-19. Therefore, we decided to trial a Centering telehealth option for our patients. By offering a telehealth model of CenteringPregnancy, we hope to provide patients with continued opportunities to gain valuable prenatal education and social connection. We formally started offering Centering telehealth on Zoom in July 2020. Patients join 1-2 hour group Zoom sessions with their midwife and group members every 2-4 weeks for a total of 9-11 group sessions. Additionally, they attend routine in-person visits based on the COVID-19 prenatal care guidelines. We had 62 patients fully participate in our in-person CenteringPregnancy program from October 1, 2019 until it was disrupted by COVID. We had 13 patients who participated in our Zoom telehealth CenteringPregnancy program between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020. 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, two social workers, a recovery support 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 facilitates the transition from adolescent to adult care when appropriate. In Fiscal Year 2020, the CATALYST Clinic received approximately 78 referrals to the clinic; 630 referrals have been received since the programs inception. Child Life Program (CLP): The Child Life Program assists children and families in managing the stresses associated with hospitalization and illness. All CLP team members are trained developmental specialists, aiming to support children and families through the hospital experience. The goals of the CLP 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 CLP currently covers the areas of Inpatient Pediatrics and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Ambulatory Care Clinic including Specialty Clinics, Pediatric Emergency Department, Pediatric Otolaryngology Clinic and Operating areas for pediatric surgery. The team remains a consult service for pediatric cases in the NICU, Radiology, Trauma services, and OBYGN as well as for bereavement support working with children of adult families. Child Passenger Safety Program: BMC recognizes and uses the Center for Disease Control and Preventions Child Passenger Safety recommendations. Massachusetts state law requires that all children under age 8 and less than 57 inches tall be properly fastened and secured in a federally approved car seat or booster seat. BMC requires all newborns leaving the hospital have an appropriate car seat prior to discharge home. The Division of Trauma partners with the Public Safety Office to provide child safety seat installation and inspection free of charge. Public Safety officers are trained Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) who have been certified in correct installation of child safety seats and are re-certified every 2 years. BMCs CPSTs are responsible for and capable of: securing children in appropriate child restraint systems; installing child restraint systems in multiple types of vehicles; educating others on how to correctly install child restraint systems in vehicles and how to properly restrain children in motor vehicles; and organizing, coordinating or assisting at inspection stations and checkup events. In FY20, the Child Passenger Safety Program installed or provided education on approximately 100 car seats. Clothing Bank: BMCs social workers access 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 (the Center): The Center, launched in 2016, is catalyzing BMCs 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. As such, 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 will be 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. The Center is piloting the new model aimed at families with newborns, and is collecting data to understand its impact. The pilot launched in January 2020 and has enrolled 95 of the target 100 families. Ultimately, a financially sustainable model will be scaled to the larger primary care practice. In addition, the Center is partnering with BMC HealthNet Plan, BMCs health insurance program, to test alternative payment models to ultimately redefine value in pediatric care. Cribs for Kids: BMC partners with the national Cribs for Kids program, where its mission is to provide cribs to babies whose mothers could not afford them otherwise and educate mothers about the dangers of unsafe sleep environments. BMC provides free pack-and-plays and cribs to families who do not otherwise have a safe space for their baby to sleep. This program is funded through the Injury Prevention Trauma Development fund. In FY20, the Cribs for Kids program at BMC provided pack and plays to approximately 50 families. Elders Living at Home Program (ELAHP): The goal of ELAHP 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. ELAHP served 269 clients during Fiscal Year 2020. Of the 269 clients, 79 received housing search and placement services; 66 received housing stabilization services; and 49 received homelessness prevention assistance. Some clients received more than one type of service. All clients suffer from at least one chronic illness, and 96% suffer from two or more disabling medical conditions. (These totals reflect a slight decline from previous years, mostly due to the pandemic.) Over the last 11 years, the success rate of ELAHPs stabilization services is 98%. An additional 119 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 and another in Cambridge. In late March, BMC opened a COVID Recovery Unit (CRU) for patients who tested positive but were not sick enough to require hospitalization, yet still contagious and too sick to return to emergency shelter or unstable housing. Many of these individuals were older adults, and ELAHP stepped in to provide housing assessment and search services for these patients. Most of this work took place after patients were discharged from the CRU. Grow Clinic: The Grow Clinic was founded in 1984 within BMCs Department of Pediatrics. 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 (FTT). Children with FTT have significant difficulty growing because of malnutrition associated with illness, poverty, and other family stressors. The effects of FTT include shortened attention sp
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 BMC and has more than 20 years of experience delivering accessible care to complex populations. BMC HealthNet Plan serves over 313,777 members across Massachusetts. IT also provides health coverage to Medicaid members in New Hampshire, where it operates as Well Sense Health Plan. Boston HealthNet (BHN) Established in 1995, Boston HealthNet (BHN) is an integrated health care delivery system comprised of BMC, the Boston University School of Medicine, and 12 community health centers (CHCs). 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 26th year, BHN and its CHC partners have extended BMCs presence into Boston-area neighborhoods, significantly impacting the health of their residents. The accomplishments of the network are evidenced by: the high volume of CHC 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 BHNs information technology programs and services. In 2015 and in collaboration with BMC, 9 of the BHN CHCs began the process of implementing a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) and practice management system that facilitates CHC and BMC provider access to mutual patients EHRs. The implementation of the new EHR, OCHIN, greatly enhanced the care coordination efforts between Boston HealthNet CHCs and the specialty clinics at BMC. 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 BHN Research Subcommittee was established in 2005 to review research projects that are proposed at the health centers, and has reviewed over 255 projects reviewed to-date. 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 (BUSM) pediatric, family medicine, psychiatry and general medicine residents. Boston HealthNet facilitates community health center engagement with nearly 240 BUSM 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 is high; 80 residents have been placed at community health centers during the 2020 academic year. Boston Accountable Care Organization (BACO): Currently, eight Boston HealthNet community health centers participate in BACO. BACO enters into risk arrangements with government programs and commercial insurers and the BACO participants are collectively accountable for the quality and cost of the care they provide. BACOs most significant risk arrangement is with the MassHealth ACO program. With its participation in the MassHealth ACO program BACO became clinically and financially integrated with BMC Health System - which includes BMC, 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. COVID-19 Initiatives: During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Boston HealthNet community health centers collaborated with BMC, Mass League of CHCs and MA Department of Public Health-led COVID-19 initiatives and assisted in creating protocols for testing, triage, clinical practice re-configuration. "re-opening" planning, in addition to impementing an ongoing telehealth strategy. Current initiatives include strategizing and planning around COVID-19 vaccinations, creating a prioritization framework, planning logistics around supply, developing workflows, and staff training.

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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7B BMC Health System has the right to take certain actions including, but not limited to, the approval of budgets, mergers, acquisitions, and indebtedness.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B Boston Medical Center's Form 990 is prepared by KPMG LLP and Reviewed by BMC's internal management. Following that review, BMC'S internal management and KPMG present the Form 990 to the audit AND COMPLIANCE committee for review and comment. The completed Form 990 is provided to all members of the board of trustees prior to the Form being filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C Conflict of interest questionnaires for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020 were distributed by BMC's corporate compliance department. The Chief Compliance Officer of BMC or the Chief Compliance Officer's designee queries trustees, officers, and directors on at least an annual basis regarding relationships that may create potential conflicts of interest. The Chief Compliance Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer's designee reviews all disclosures and determines whether there are actual or potential conflicts of interest. The Chief Compliance Officer or the Chief Compliance Officer's designee informs the Chief Legal Counsel of any actual or potential conflicts of interest. The Chief Legal Counsel advises the board of trustees and officers of the corporation accordingly.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 An independent committee, formed of individuals whose compensation is not in issue, determines the compensation of officers, key employees, and the highest compensated employees. The committee members are not under the control or direction of any BMC executive seeking compensation. The compensation plan is supported by comparable data, which includes compensation paid for comparable positions by similarly situated organizations, both taxable and tax-exempt, compensation surveys compiled independently, and actual written offers from similar institutions competing for the services of the BMC executive. The independent committee's assessment of these considerations are contained in the minutes of the committee meeting. The review process includes - and minutes indicate - discussions and evaluations of each executive's prior performance, qualification, and experience. Executives are not present for the independent committee's discussions and vote on compensation. The minutes reflect the fact that no executive was present.
