ReturnReference	Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds	Subrecipients sign an agreement which details the subrecipient's plan and budget as well as allowable expenditures of the Federal Awards. The agreement is also approved/signed by the Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH) signing official. Each subrecipient is required to submit periodic invoices (not more than monthly) to CMH for reimbursement. All expenditures on the invoice must be according to the subrecipient's budget that was developed during the application process. Invoices received from subrecipients are certified as complete and accurate by the subrecipient and reviewed and approved by the Principal Investigator or appropriate level of authorization, who forwards them to accounts payable for processing. In addition, Research and Sponsored Projects (RaSPA) Accounting monitors these invoices to ensure proper coding to the correct award. The RaSPA accounting staff captures the amount on the budget-to-actual report to monitor the total amount spent by the subrecipient. Based on the amount budgeted to Subrecipients and normal invoiced activity, the RaSPA accounting staff questions unreasonable invoice amounts with the subrecipient. In addition, any subrecipient that received more than $750,000 in Federal funds during the fiscal year is required to obtain a Uniformed Guidance audit and send a copy of the audit report to CMH's accounting department for review. The Post Award Manager is responsible for confirming that CMH has received a Uniform Guidance audit report from all subrecipients for which it is required. CMH maintains a subrecipient monitoring spreadsheet to track Uniform Guidance audit status, DUNS number, year-to-date spending, etc. for all subrecipients.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7a	Financial assistance cost reported on this line is derived from Worksheet 1 which takes gross charges for patients who have been awarded financial assistance and then multiplies those charges by a cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 to arrive at cost of providing financial assistance.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8	Cost to charge ratio
Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c Eligibility criteria for free or discounted care	Free care eligibility is based on FPG and other factors including residency and exhausting other available payor sources. For discounted care, if a financial assistance application was denied and the decision then appealed, the case is reviewed through a multi-disciplinary committee that uses a point system rubric using indicators such as FPG, total balance due as a percentage of annual income, out of pocket responsibility for upcoming year as a percentage of annual income, annual frequency of visits for ongoing care, financial hardship indicators such as recent bankruptcy/foreclosure, and medical complexity due to health condition. Each factor, if applicable, is reviewed and assigned point value based on a preset scale, that serves as a tool for the discounted care scale.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services	In FY25, over 154,000 children were reached through clinical services classified as Subsidized Health Services. Subsidized health services included: Outpatient Burn Unit, Division of Child Adversity & Resilience, Child & Family Mental Health Services, Center for Children's Healthy Lifestyles & Nutrition, Developmental & Behavioral Health, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, General Pediatric Primary Care Clinics, Hematology & Oncology, Neonatology Follow Up Clinics, Rheumatology, and the SANE Program. The services are provided at a financial loss to Children's Mercy after removing Charity Care, unreimbursed Medicaid, private insurance shortages, contract revenues, grants and philanthropic gifts. All subsidized health services meet an identified community need and a shortage of available services would exist in the community if Children's Mercy did not provide the service.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	The cost to charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 was used for Lines 7a and 7b. Cost from the Medicare Cost Report was used for Lines 7f (Health Professions Education). Cost from our decision support system was used 7g (Subsidized Health Services).
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities	The Children's Mercy community building activities include programs and/or resources intended to make physical improvements, provide community support, advocate for community health improvements, and address community-wide workforce issues through numerous workforce development outreach initiatives. Examples include the maintenance of the Hospital Hill Park and the Sylvia Nutter Playground, the management of a community garden, advocacy activities, participation on Chamber of Commerce committees related to health improvement, and healthcare workforce development for high school students and community members.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	Audited Financial Statements Footnote 2(n), Page 13.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	Collection attempts are discontinued once charges are determined to be eligible for charity care or financial assistance; insurance collection attempts continue as appropriate.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment	The hospital has an initiative development process that brings forward new initiatives around strategic, operational, community health, and innovation based on community/market trends and needs and through consultation with community-based organizations. On a routine basis, the Strategic Planning Department monitors demographic and service trends of the region and compares this data to national benchmarks. The hospital's strategic planning process also takes into account all of the qualitative and quantitative market data to define strategies and tactics that address the community needs. In addition, Trauma Services maintains a Trauma Registry and the Promise 1000 centralizes the data collection on the health services and needs of children (0 - 3 years of age) who receive home visiting services.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance	Flyers and financial counselor business cards and copies of the Financial Assistance Plain Language Summary are available at all access points within the Hospital. Efforts are made by the financial counselors to contact self pay patients and families, either in person, or through phone call or letters to inform/assist families with charity care and Medicaid or state program eligibility . Self pay or underinsured patients can also be referred to a financial counselor by an Access Representative, Patient Care Services, Social Work, Patient Financial Services, or other staff members for screening and assistance. All billing statements refer patients to financial counseling resources; hospital website posts the financial assistance policy.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information	Children's Mercy provides care to vulnerable populations who come from across Kansas and Missouri. In Kansas, 88 counties and in Missouri, 122 counties have federally designated primary care HPSA areas. Across the two states, Children's Mercy identifies 43 counties as the Outreach Service Area, 51 counties as the Secondary Service Area; and 18 counties as the Primary Service Area. Within the Primary Service Area are six counties called the Metro Service Area. Each of the service areas include urban, suburban and rural counties. The Outreach Service Area includes more rural counties than the other service areas. The Metro Service Area includes more urban and suburban areas than rural. Within the Metro Service Area are the five counties (Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties located in Missouri and Johnson and Wyandotte counties located in Kansas) that comprise the Children's Mercy CHNA service area. Children's Mercy is the only freestanding children's hospital in the region. Limited pediatric services are available at the University of Kansas Medical Center, St. Luke's Health System, Centerpoint, Liberty Hospital, NKC Health, Research Medical Center, Advent Health, University Health, and Overland Park hospitals. During the fiscal year in which Children's Mercy initiated the CHNA, residents of Jackson, Clay, Platte, Wyandotte, and Johnson Counties contribute over 67 percent of the encounters at Children's Mercy. The Children's Mercy CHNA service area serve as the location of our physical facilities (e.g., Children's Mercy Adele Hall Campus, Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas, Children's Mercy Operation Breakthrough Clinic, Children's Mercy Northland, Children's Mercy Broadway, Children's Mercy College Boulevard, Children's Mercy Blue Valley, Children's Mercy Sports Medicine at Village West, and Children's Mercy East) and the source of a majority of our patient encounters. The five counties house a total population of 1,863,379. Of these, 447,225 or 24 percent are children. Within this region, Wyandotte County has the greatest proportion of children under 18 and Jackson County has the smallest proportion, but largest in absolute number. The overall population of children in these five counties increased between 1980 and 2020 and the overall make-up of the population shifted as well. In 1980, black, Hispanic or other ethnicities comprised 21 percent of the five counties under 18 years of age population. In 2020 36.4 percent of the region's under 18 population made up these groups. A higher percentage of children under age 18 years live in poverty than the population as a whole. The percentage of children under age 18 who live in poverty has grown in four of the five counties from 2015 to 2020. The highest percentage of children living in poverty is in Wyandotte County. Black and Hispanic children living in poverty are disproportionately represented compared to their total population in each of the five assessed counties.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health	The Children's Mercy Hospital is a nonprofit hospital operated to serve a public rather than a private interest and meeting the requirements of Revenue Ruling 69-545. Control of the Hospital rests with its Board, which is primarily composed of members of the community, in addition to a few select employees of the Hospital. The Hospital accepts patients paying with Medicaid and Medicare, and operates an active and generally accessible emergency room open to all children without regard to ability to pay. The Hospital uses any surplus funds to improve the quality of patient care, expand its facilities, and advance its medical training, education, and research programs. Children's Mercy annually provides funding and partnership to community organizations and efforts that support programs addressing the CHNA priority health needs. Children's Mercy continues to support the Kansas City Physical Activity and works with organizations across the community to improve physical infrastructures to promote healthy living and eating. Programs working to improve outcomes for children are strengthened through a community-wide strategy to organize home visiting; participation in community health fairs; support for healthy housing and schools; distribution of free gun locks & lock boxes; participation in community-wide youth suicide prevention initiatives; service on key community committees (i.e., Infant and Child Mortality review boards), and through the provision of training and education for families with children at-risk for obesity or diabetes.

Explanation

Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds

Children's Mercy provides charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations which share a common mission to improve the health and well-being of children. The contributions are restricted to meet a community identified need and community benefit requirements. Children's Mercy documents the appropriate use of our funds by sending a restricted contribution letter; attending annual events; reviewing web-based annual reports; and meeting with agency grant recipients to ascertain the outcomes of their work. Subrecipients sign an agreement which details the subrecipient's plan and budget as well as allowable expenditures of the Federal Awards. The agreement is also approved/signed by the Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH) signing official. Each subrecipient is required to submit periodic invoices (not more than monthly) to CMH for reimbursement. All expenditures on the invoice must be according to the subrecipient's budget that was developed during the application process. Invoices received from subrecipients are certified as complete and accurate by the subrecipient and reviewed and approved by the Principal Investigator or appropriate level of authorization, who forwards them to accounts payable for processing. In addition, Research and Sponsored Projects (RaSPA) Accounting monitors these invoices to ensure proper coding to the correct award. The RaSPA accounting staff captures the amount on the budget-to-actual report to monitor the total amount spent by the subrecipient. Based on the amount budgeted to subrecipients and normal invoiced activity, the RaSPA accounting staff questions unreasonable invoice amounts with the subrecipient. In addition, any subrecipient that received more than $750,000 in Federal funds during the fiscal year is required to obtain a Uniformed Guidance audit and send a copy of the audit report to CMH's accounting department for review. The Post Award Manager is responsible for confirming that CMH has received a Uniform Guidance audit report from all subrecipients for which it is required. CMH maintains a subrecipient monitoring spreadsheet to track Uniform Guidance audit status, DUNS number, year-to-date spending, etc. for all subrecipients.

4b	(Code: ) (Expenses $ 107,436,459 including grants of $ 4,262,324 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
	Children's Mercy Hospital (CM) is dedicated to becoming a leader in pediatric translational research. A strategic planning initiative established the Children's Mercy Research Institute (CMRI) to focus on research and research infrastructure. Through the generosity of two philanthropic gifts totaling $150 million, the Hospital has built a nine story, 375,000 square foot facility enabling research scientists to gain access to state-of-the-art research technology as well as dry lab and wet lab space to support that research. The building includes an auditorium for presentations to train medical school students and inform the public about pediatric healthcare innovations that are being developed and created by research scientists and physicians here in collaboration with others throughout the nation and world. In addition these generous gifts will help support funding for scientific programs and recruitment. Research conducted today at CM includes basic science and clinical research in numerous areas including pharmacology, cancer, cardiology, genetic diseases and health outcomes. Areas of research strength include Precision Therapeutics, Genomics Medicine, Population Health, Emerging Infections and Health Care Innovation. During the year ended June 30, 2025 there were more than 823 active sponsored research projects. The Children's Mercy Research Institute occupies about 16% of the space on the main campus and 7% of the total annual operating budget. Children's Mercy spent $107 million in the year ended June 30, 2025 on research and per information from the NIH Reporter received more than $12.4 Million in NIH funding in this same time period. More than 700+ publications were accepted and/or published. The Children's Mercy Research Institute provides seed funding to investigators with internal competitive grant programs such as the Midwest Cancer Alliance and the Katherine Berry Richardson (KBR) Fund, with expectations that this funding will lead to applications for externally funded grant programs in the future.
