Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center-Janesville. Rock County Needs Assessment Mercyhealth Corporation conducted a Community Needs Assessment designed to identify health and quality of life issues in Rock County. MHTC (Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center) created an online community health survey using the MachForm survey tool. The survey was translated into Spanish, and both English and Spanish versions were accessible via links and QR codes. Methods for survey distribution included social media, Mercyhealth's internal newsletter, Mercyhealth's community newsletter, and flyer placement at key community locations. The survey was distributed between January 10, 2023 and February 12, 2023. MHTC received 537 survey responses. Once the survey closed, the collected data was aggregated and visualizations were created to illustrate demographics of respondents and distributions for responses to all questions. Not sure/no answer/missing data were excluded from statistical analysis. As a qualitative supplement to survey data, primary data was also collected through virtual and in-person interviews with key informants. Key informants are stakeholders who represent community organizations and, through their roles as community leaders and organizers, possess valuable insights into health issues experienced by the populations they serve. Key informants were selected with the goal of gathering information reflective of a broad cross-section of the community, particularly those populations unlikely to respond to the survey. Twelve key informant interviews were conducted between January 2023 and March 2023. MHTC participates in the Health Equity Alliance of Rock County (HEAR), a coalition supported and facilitated by the Rock County Public Health Department and comprised of health systems, community-based organizations, and government agencies. Other organizations participating in HEAR include SSM Health, Beloit Health System, Health Net, Community Health Systems, Inc., Head Start, School District of Beloit, Community Action, and Building a Safer Evansville. Together, these organizations represent medically underserved, low-income, and minority populations including uninsured and underinsured patients, children in low-income families, unhoused individuals, and at-risk youth. For Rock County, HEAR helps guide the Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), and implements strategies to meet the goals set forth in the improvement plan. Representatives from MHTC participated in HEAR throughout this analysis and obtained input from HEAR members about resources available to address health issues in Rock County. In late 2022, MHTC solicited and received input from the Rock County Department of Public Health specifically regarding survey design and key informant interviews. The Rock County Department of Public Health shared findings from focus groups and key informant interviews conducted as part of the county's 2021 CHA. For purposes of comparison with data collected for Rock County's CHA, MHTC added survey questions specifically focused on mental health and access to care, the two focus areas for Rock County's 2022 CHIP. MHTC also conducted a key informant interview with the Rock County Department of Public Health's Public Health Strategist/HEAR Coordinator.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center - Janesville. Mercy's Plan in Rock County is to improve the health of patients with mental health and substance abuse issues. Mercy will look work towards recruiting more mental health providers, increase care transition services, expand school based mental health services, and explore new services. It will continue community partnerships to ensure effective collaboration, coordination of mental health resources, education and offer support to help reduce access to opiates, and co-sponsor events related to mental health awareness. Mercy will be looking to recruit new providers to Rock County to aid in the accessibility and affordability of healthcare in the area. Mercy will be investing in facility/resources in opening the Mercyhealth Kidney Care and Dialysis Center. Increase awareness of financial assistance resources, virtual care/telehealth options, and increase access to discharge medication (free Meds-to Beds program). Maternal, Infant and child health concerns will be addressed by Mercy in Rock County, by adopting birth equity initiatives, screening OB patients for social determinants of health needs, and offering same-day pediatric appointments to those who present at Urgent Care to build connection with pediatrician.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Mercyhealth Hospital and Medical Center-Walworth. To gather primary data regarding health needs in Walworth County, MHW developed survey questions in collaboration with Advocate Aurora and the Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services. JKV Research used these questions to conduct an online survey using the Survey Monkey survey tool. The survey was accessible via links and a QR code. Methods for survey distribution included social media, Mercyhealth's internal newsletter, Mercyhealth's community newsletter, and flyer placement at key community locations. The survey was distributed between November 1, 2022 and January 26, 2023. The survey received 555 responses. Once the survey closed, the collected data was aggregated and stratified by JKV Research, LLC. Not sure/no answer/missing data are excluded from this report. As a qualitative supplement to the survey data, primary data was also collected through virtual and in-person interviews with key informants. Key informants are stakeholders who represent community organizations and, through their roles as community leaders and organizers, possess valuable insights into health issues experienced by the populations they serve. Key informants were selected with the goal of gathering information reflective of a broad cross-section of the community, particularly those populations unlikely to respond to the survey. Nineteen key informant interviews were conducted between December, 2022 and February, 2023. Interviews were conducted by representatives from MHW and Advocate Aurora. Notes from interviews were reviewed and findings summarized by JKV Research, LLC. MHW is an active participant in the Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Steering Committee, comprised of health systems, community-based organizations, and government agencies. Other organizations participating in the steering committee include Open Arms Free Clinic, New Day Women's Clinic, Tree House Child and Family Center, Fort Healthcare, Advocate Aurora, Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, Walworth County Board of Supervisors, and Community Action, Inc. Together, these organizations represent medically underserved, low-income, and minority populations including uninsured and underinsured patients, children in low-income families, unhoused individuals, and at-risk youth. For Walworth County, this committee helps to implement strategies to meet the goals set forth in the county's CHIP. Representatives from MHW participated in the CHIP Steering Committee throughout this analysis and obtained input from committee members about resources available to address health issues in Walworth County. Throughout 2022, MHW, Advocate Aurora, and representatives from the Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services held a series of meetings to create a community survey and key informant interview questions, and to develop an approach for conducting the survey and interviews. Through this process, the Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services offered valuable input on survey methodology and survey questions, particularly related to lessons learned in conducting the county's 2022 Community Health Assessment (CHA). For example, the survey conducted as part of the county's CHA included more than 50 questions, which was viewed as a potential barrier to respondents completing the survey in full. Based on this information from the county, the community survey was designed to be completed in less than 10 minutes. MHW also conducted a key informant group interview with several officials from the Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services: the Director of Health and Human Services, the Deputy Director of Health and Human Services, the Health Officer, the Behavioral Health Division Manager, and the Children and Families Manager.

Mercy's Plan in Walworth County is to address Mental Health needs by recruiting providers, expanding school-based mental health services, and exploring the provision of behavioral health services in primary care settings. Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity needs will be addressed by increasing referrals to Walworth's weight management program, and cardiac rehabilitation programs. Recruiting providers, exploring community outreach options to address child obesity, and continuation of its athletic training program. Mercy partners with multiple community-based organizations in Rock and Walworth County to accomplish successful implementation of these strategies. During the course of this Tax year 2022 (fiscal year July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023), and the prior tax years, Mercy participated in numerous community health fairs, provided free screenings at our clinics and in conjunction with community based organizations, offered screenings to free and sliding fee schedule primary care clinics, and school districts in both counties. Mercy also provides financial incentives for their employees to participate in smoking cessation programs. All of these efforts are supported through broad based marketing and advertising programs directed to audiences in both counties promoting these programs. Mercy provides extensive telemedicine services to increase virtual access for our patients. Mercy has providers on call that are available to assist EMS crews in the field with trauma-related emergencies and critical illnesses.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c Mercy hospitals offers a 25% self-pay discount to all uninsured patients on all medically necessary services. Eligibility for financial assistance is based on the following: individual or household income, individual or household assets, household size, and other sources of payment for services. The amount of assistance is based on the patient's ability to pay and the size of their outstanding balance. If patient income and household assets are less than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, then Mercy will cover 100% of their outstanding balance. If the patient's income and household assets fall between 200% and 300% of the federal poverty guidelines, then a patient's remaining balance can be reduced as much as 90% and payment arrangements can be extended for as long as twenty-four (24) months or longer if there are extenuating circumstances.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a Mercy Health System, Corp (MHS) submits an annual Community Benefit Statement to the Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA). Periodically, it publishes a pamphlet explaining the community benefits that Mercy Health System Corp, and the related organizations of MHS provide to the communities they serve. MHS has supplied supplemental community benefit statement information with its 990 tax return since Fiscal Year 2006 (Tax form 2005).
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 7 Additional Information MHSC FILES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WITH IN WI WITH THE WISCONSIN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services Diabetes education/clinic was included in this line: expenses in column c totaled $480,138 and column E had $238,767 of net expenses.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation 25131588
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance A cost-to-charge ratio methodology was used to determine costs associated with charity care, unreimbursed Medicaid, and other means tested government programs. The cost-to-charge ratio was derived from IRS worksheet 2: ratio of patient care cost-to charge. The cost of the other benefits referenced in the table of line 7 (community health improvement services and community benefit operations; health professions education; subsidized health services; cash and in-kind contributions) were determined using actual department/service specific data and /or cost accounting derived data.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount The cost of bad debt on line 2, Part III, was determined by applying the cost-to-charge ratio to those charges estimated and expensed as uncollectible.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology The estimate of bad debt dollars that may have been covered through Mercy Health System Corp.'s Financial Assistance/Charity Care Policy (had the proper paperwork been completed by the individual needing assistance) is estimated at 16.31%. This figure was based on the percent of bad debt account dollars that are reclassified for charity and/or bankruptcy purposes.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote Bad debt expense is accounted for in the following manner (as detailed in Note 1 of the audited financial statements of Mercy Health Corporation): Generally, patients who are covered by third-party payors are responsible for related deductibles and coinsurance, which vary in amount. The Corporation also provides services to uninsured patients, and offers those uninsured patients a discount, either by policy or law, from standard charges. The Corporation estimates the transaction price for patients with deductibles and coinsurance and for those who are uninsured based on historical experience and current market conditions. The initial estimate of the transaction price is determined by reducing the standard charge by any contractual adjustments, discounts, and implicit price concessions. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price are generally recorded as adjustments to patient service revenue in the period of the change. Subsequent changes that are determined to be the result of an adverse change in the patient's ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense. Bad debt expense for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was not significant. Consistent with the Corporation's mission, care is provided to patients regardless of their ability to pay. Therefore, the Corporation has determined it has provided implicit price concessions to uninsured patients and patients with other uninsured balances (for example, copays and deductibles). The implicit price concessions included in estimating the transaction price represent the difference between amounts billed to patients and the amounts the Corporation expects to collect based on its collection history with those patients. The Corporation's policy is to provide a discount from established charges to uninsured patients. This policy did not change in 2023 and 2022.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs DATA FOR LINES 5 & 6 OF PART III AND THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS BASED ON MERCY HEALTH SYSTEM CORP'S TWO MEDICARE COST REPORTS (MERCY HOSPITAL AND TRAUMA CENTER-JANESVILLE, AND MERCY WALWORTH HOSPITAL).
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance PATIENTS WHO ARE SELF-PAY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY QUALIFY FOR MERCY HEALTH SYSTEM'S (MHS) COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM, WILL RECEIVE A 25% DISCOUNT FROM MHS'S STANDARD FEE SCHEDULE. ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS MEET WITH PATIENT FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AND DISCUSS PAYMENT OPTIONS INCLUDING MHS'S COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM. PATIENTS MUST APPLY FOR COMMUNITY CARE AND SUPPLY MERCY WITH THE NECESSARY FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED. PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR COMMUNITY CARE BENEFITS WILL RECEIVE A REDUCTION IN THE BALANCE OWED, EXTENDED PAYMENT TERMS, OR BOTH. THE AMOUNT OF THE COMMUNITY CARE BENEFIT WILL BE BASED ON THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY AND THE SIZE OF THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE.

Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation THE CEO IS PAID FROM A RELATED ORGANIZATION, MERCY HEALTH SYSTEM CORPORATION (MHSC). MHSC USES THE FOLLOWING TO ESTABLISH THE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO: COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, FORM 990 OF OTHER ORGANIZATION, WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, COMPENSATION SURVEY OR STUDY AND APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE MERCY COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF MHSC IS COMPRISED OF THE BOARD CHAIRPERSON, VICE CHAIR AND SECRETARY/TREASURER. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IS ASSISTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL AND AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT MEET THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ANNUALLY. THIS PROCESS WAS COMPLETED FOR 2022.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a Severance or change-of-control payment James Davis received 26 weeks severance pay $119,025 in 2022.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan INCENTIVE PLAN DISTRIBUTION: JAVON R. BEA - $4,953,609 Todd Anderson, Joanna Benning, and E. Patrick Cranley participated in the 457(f) plan during Calendar year 2022. However, they did not receive a payout during calendar year 2022.
Schedule J, Part II JAVON R. BEA - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PAYMENT MR. BEA HAS BEEN EMPLOYED BY MHSC AS PRESIDENT AND CEO OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS. DURING THIS TIME, MR. BEA HAS LED AN INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION TAKING A SMALL, SINGLE, STAND-ALONE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AND CREATING A VERTICALLY INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM WITH 85 FACILITIES IN 50 COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS, INCREASING GROSS REVENUE FROM $33 MILLION TO OVER $3.6 BILLION IN FY2023. THIS HAS ALLOWED THE HEALTH SYSTEM TO GO FROM SERVING 89,000 PATIENTS IN 1989 TO OVER 1.8 MILLION PATIENTS TODAY WORKING TOGETHER WITH OVER 7,500+ PARTNERS IN HEALTH CARE. TODAY, MHSC HAS BECOME THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THIS GROWTH CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO MR. BEA'S VISIONARY LEADERSHIP. LEADERSHIP THAT HAS LED TO MHSC RECEIVING NUMEROUS NATIONAL RECOGNIZED AWARDS INCLUDING BEING NAMED THE FIRST FULLY INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM TO RECEIVE THE MALCOLM BALDRIGE NATIONAL QUALITY AWARD, THE MAGNET RECOGNITION AWARD, BEING RANKED #1 AND #2 ON AARP'S TOP 100 BEST PLACES TO WORK FOR WORKERS OVER 50, AND BEING RANKED IN THE TOP 25 ON THE TOP 100 INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE NETWORKS LIST BY MODERN HEALTHCARE FOR OVER 12 STRAIGHT YEARS. THE TURNAROUND OF THE MHSC IMPLEMENTED BY MR. BEA IS UNPARALLELED. BY PIONEERING A "PARTNERSHIP MODEL" OF COMPENSATION AND DESIGNING A CUSTOM CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE, MR. BEA IS VITAL TO THE DECADES-LONG AND CONTINUING GROWTH AT MHSC. THIS SUCCESS HAS MADE MR. BEA A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER SPEAKER AND CONSULTANT AS HE IS NOW WELL-RENOWNED FOR HIS INNOVATIONS IN THE AREAS OF INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE AND PHYSICIAN PARTNERSHIP MODELS. THE TREMENDOUS SUCCESS OF MHSC UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MR. BEA HAS ALLOWED HIM TO RECEIVE PAYOUTS FROM A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PACKAGE WHICH MHSC HAS BEEN PAYING INTO OVER MANY YEARS. THESE PAYMENTS ONLY BECAME PAYABLE IF MHSC ATTAINED CERTAIN DEFINED FINANCIAL AND STRATEGIC GOALS AND THE AMOUNTS ARE AT RISK EVERY SINGLE YEAR. AS INDICATED ABOVE, MANY OF THESE GOALS WERE ACHIEVED WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS RESULTING IN A RELEASE OF THESE DEFERRED PAYMENTS WHICH IMPACTED MR. BEA'S COMPENSATION REPORTING. THE SETTING OF THESE GOALS WERE LAID OUT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN COOPERATION WITH NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION ATTORNEYS AND CONSULTANTS TO MAKE SURE ALL FACTORS WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. MR. BEA'S COMPENSATION HAS ALSO BEEN SCRUTINIZED BY NUMEROUS OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE; AND HAS PASSED INSPECTION IN EACH CASE. TOTAL COMPENSATION IS APPROVED ANNUALLY BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MHSC.
