PART V, LINE 7A, CHNA REPORT: THE CHNA REPORT WAS WIDELY AVAILABLE ON A WEBSITE (LIST URL):WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG/ABOUT-UNITYPOINT-HEALTH/COMMUNITY-BENEFITS/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENTS PART V, LINE 10A, IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY: THE MOST RECENTLY ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS WIDELY AVAILABLE ON A WEBSITE (LIST URL):WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG/ABOUT-UNITYPOINT-HEALTH/COMMUNITY-BENEFITS/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENTS PART V, LINE 16A, FAP WEBSITE: THE FAP WAS WIDELY AVAILABLE ON A WEBSITE (LIST URL): WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG/PATIENTS-AND-VISITORS/BILLING-AND-FINANCIAL-INFORMATION/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE PART V, LINE 16B, FAP WEBSITE: THE FAP APPLICATION FORM WAS WIDELY AVAILABLE ON A WEBSITE (LIST URL):WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG/PATIENTS-AND-VISITORS/BILLING-AND-FINANCIAL-INFORMATION/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE PART V, LINE 16C, FAP WEBSITE: A PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY OF THE FAP WAS WIDELY AVAILABLE ON A WEBSITE (LIST URL):WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG/PATIENTS-AND-VISITORS/BILLING-AND-FINANCIAL-INFORMATION/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE 4 1 - CHILD & ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY 8001 RAYMOND ROAD MADISON WI 53719 INPATIENT PSYCHIATRY SERVICES 2 - MERITER NEWSTART 1015 GAMMON LANE MADISON WI 53719 SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAM 3 - MERITER WELLNESS CENTER 501 W BELTLINE HWY SUITE 207 MADISON WI 53713 CARDIOVASCULAR & PULMONARY REHAB & NUTRITION 4 - CENTER FOR PERINATAL CARE 202 S PARK ST MADISON WI 53715 PREGNANCY CARE PART I, LINE 6A: A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS FILED ON BEHALF OF MERITER HEALTH SERVICES; MERITER HOSPITAL IS A SUBSIDIARY. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT TEXT IN THIS RETURN REPRESENTS THE HOSPITAL. PART I, LINE 7: A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO (FROM WORKSHEET 2) IS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS ON LINE 7A. THE AMOUNTS ON LINES 7B-7C (UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS) ARE OBTAINED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE SEGMENT SPECIFIC COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. THE AMOUNTS FOR LINES 7E, F, H, AND I WOULD COME FROM THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF SPECIFIC SEGMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ARE BASED ON COST. THE AMOUNTS ON 7G ARE DERIVED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: MUCH OF THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITY IS DONE IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR HEALTHCARE PARTNERS, UW HEALTH, SSM AND QUARTZ. UPH MERITER, MEMBERS OF SSM HEALTH AND UW HEALTH MEET ANNUALLY WITH FOLKS THAT WE PROVIDE SUPPORTS TO HEAR FROM THEM AS TO HOW THE FUNDING WAS BEING USED AND TO HEAR IF THERE ARE ANY GAPS IN SERVICES. THE COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS THEN TRY TO PROBLEM SOLVE THE GAPS THAT MAY EXIST IN SERVICES. THE COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS ALSO COLLABORATE ON WHETHER OR NOT WE WILL GIVE BASED ON OUR CHNA PRIORITIES AND BASED ON THE POPULATION BEING SERVED. THE GROUP NOT ONLY COLLABORATE ON WHETHER WE SHOULD GIVE OR NOT, BUT HOW MUCH WE GIVE TO THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE IN NEED. THE GROUPS TRIES TO ENSURE THAT WHAT WE GIVE WILL HAVE A MAXIMUM IMPACT. IN ADDITION, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MANAGER ALSO SOLICITS INPUT FROM STAFF ON WHAT THEY SEE ARE THE GAPS TO SERVICE PARTICULARLY WITH REGARDS TO TREATMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, STAFF REPORTED TRANSPORTATION WAS A BARRIER FOR MANY PATIENTS. THE STAFF THEN PROVIDED INFORMATION ON AN ORGANIZATION THAT TRANSPORTED MOST OF UPH MERITER'S PATIENTS. UPH DID INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING PROVIDED TO THIS TRANSPORTATION COMPANY TO HELP BUILD THEIR CAPACITY SO THAT THEY COULD BETTER SERVE OUR PATIENT POPULATION. PART III, LINE 4: THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THE HEALTH SYSTEM BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYERS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT.THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 2 WAS CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET 2 'RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES' TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL. THIS RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED AGAINST THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS USING IRS WORKSHEET A TO ARRIVE AT THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST REPORTED ON LINE 2. PART III, LINE 8: AMOUNTS ON LINE 6 WERE CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET B 'TOTAL MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS.' THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS AND THEN REDUCED BY ANY AMOUNTS ALREADY CAPTURED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE IN PART I ABOVE.THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONFERRED IN THIS AREA. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B WAS DETERMINED USING INFORMATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. HOWEVER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DISALLOWS CERTAIN ITEMS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE LEGITIMATE EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE PROCESS OF CARING FOR OUR MEDICARE PATIENTS. EXAMPLES OF THESE ITEMS INCLUDE PROVIDER BASED PHYSICIAN EXPENSE, SELF INSURANCE EXPENSE, HOME OFFICE EXPENSE AND THE SHORTFALL FROM FEE SCHEDULE PAYMENTS. IN ADDITION TO THESE ITEMS THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM DO NOT INCLUDE MEDICARE PHYSICIAN FEE SCHEDULE EXPENSE AND OFFSETTING REVENUE.THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, MORE SPECIFICALLY, AS CHARITY CARE. THE ELDERLY CONSTITUTE A CLEARLY-RECOGNIZED CHARITABLE CLASS, AND MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR AND THUS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, MEDICAID OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS. FINALLY, THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS. PART III, LINE 9B: AFTER THE PATIENT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS PARTIALLY OR ENTIRELY WRITTEN OFF, AS APPROPRIATE. ANY REMAINING BALANCE, IF ANY, WOULD BE COLLECTED UNDER THE NORMAL DEBT COLLECTION POLICY. PART VI, LINE 2: UPH MERITER PARTNERED WITH MOUNT ZION THE LARGEST BLACK CHURCH IN DANE COUNTY TO PROVIDE COVID VACCINATIONS AND FLU VACCINATIONS TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE PROVIDED A SURVEY TO COLLECT INFORMATION DURING THESE CLINICS TO GET INPUT AND FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE SEEING AS THE NEEDS. DURING THIS TIME, 88% OF PARTICIPANTS COMPLETED THE SURVEY. THE SURVEY WAS OUTSIDE OF THE CHNA WHICH PROVIDED INFORMATION ON ANY BARRIERS TO TREATMENT AND TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO WHAT WAS WORKING WELL FOR INDIVIDUALS SEEKING TREATMENT IN A VARIETY OF AREAS. PART VI, LINE 3: THE HOSPITAL COMMUNICATES THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ALL PATIENTS AND WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. COPIES OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY ARE AVAILABLE BY MAIL, ON EACH HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE, AND IN PERSON AT EACH HOSPITAL. THE CENTRAL BILLING OFFICE IS AVAILABLE BY PHONE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLICY, OR PATIENTS SHOULD GO TO THE CASHIER'S OFFICE AT THE HOSPITAL TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION. THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY IS OFFERED AS PART OF THE PATIENT INTAKE AND/OR DISCHARGE PROCESS AND INCLUDED WHEN A PATIENT IS SENT WRITTEN NOTICE THAT EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST HIM/HER. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY, AND ALL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FORMS ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND IN ANY OTHER LANGUAGE IN WHICH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) POPULATIONS CONSTITUTE THE LESSER OF 1,000 PERSONS OR MORE THAN 5% OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. THESE TRANSLATED DOCUMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY MAIL, ON EACH HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE, AND IN PERSON AT EACH HOSPITAL. PART VI, LINE 4: DANE COUNTY IS IN SOUTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND IS HOME TO MADISON, WISCONSIN'S CAPITAL AND THE COUNTY SEAT. DANE COUNTY IS THE SECOND MOST DENSELY POPULATED COUNTY IN WI, AND MADISON IS THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN THE STATE. THE POPULATION GREW 12% BETWEEN 2010 AND 2019, BRINGING THE TOTAL POPULATION TO 561,504. MADISON HAS 269,840 RESIDENTS, ALMOST HALF OF THE COUNTY'S POPULATION. AND AMONG ITS RESIDENTS ARE MORE THAN 49,000 UW STUDENTS. THE RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS IN DANE COUNTY ARE CHANGING. IN 2023, BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICANS MADE UP 4.9% OF THE DANE COUNTY POPULATION; ASIANS MADE UP 5.9%; WHITE/CAUCASIANS 77.8%; AND AMERICAN INDIAN OR ALASKA NATIVE 0.5%. IN ADDITION, 7.8% OF DANE COUNTY'S POPULATION ARE OF HISPANIC OR LATINO ETHNICITY. AN OPPORTUNITY GAP EXISTS BETWEEN WHITE STUDENTS AND STUDENTS OF COLOR IN DANE COUNTY EVIDENCED BY DISPARITIES IN EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES. DANE COUNTY'S 96.2% HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE HAS IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE YEARS AND IS NOW ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 88.6%. THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION THAT HAS AT LEAST A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IS MUCH HIGHER IN DANE COUNTY COMPARED WITH WISCONSIN AND THE US OVERALL (DANE COUNTY 45.8%, WI 31.5%, US 37.7%). THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS ALSO HIGHER IN DANE COUNTY ($82,838) THAN IN WI ($79,690). THERE IS CONSIDERABLE VARIABILITY WHEN YOU DISAGGREGATE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME BY RACE AND ETHNICITY; THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR BLACK HOUSEHOLDS IS CLOSER TO $39,000 AND FOR HISPANIC OR LATINO HOUSEHOLDS IS JUST UNDER $44,000.DESPITE DANE COUNTY'S HIGH MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND LOW UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (2.5%), DANE COUNTY IS FACED WITH AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY. 10.5% OF DANE COUNTY RESIDENTS LIVE IN POVERTY, COMPARABLE TO THE STATE POVERTY RATE BUT TRENDING IN A WORSENING DIRECTION. THE DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT OF POVERTY ON COMMUNITY'S COLOR IS EVEN MORE PROFOUND WHEN LOOKING AT RATES OF CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY. OVERALL, 31.3% OF CHILDREN IN DANE COUNTY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR REDUCED-PRICE LUNCH. PART VI, LINE 5: MOST OF UPH MERITER'S GOVERNING BODY IS COMPRISED OF PERSONS WHO RESIDE IN THE DANE COUNTY AREA WHICH IS THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE NEITHER EMPLOYEES OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. THEY ARE MAINLY INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND UPH MERITER AS A WHOLE.IN ADDITION, UPH MERITER ALSO HAS A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE WHICH IS MADE UP OF COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO PROVIDE INPUT AS WELL AS FEEDBACK TO THE ORGANIZATIONS ON THE HEALTH PRIORITIES, THE CHNA, AND THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE IMPLEMENTED THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL. THE ORGANIZATION EXTENDS MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN ITS COMMUNITY FOR SOME OR ALL ITS DEPARTMENTS OR SPECIALTIES; AND THE ORGANIZATION UPH MERITER APPLIES SURPLUS FUNDS TO IMPROVEMENTS IN FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT, PATIENT CARE, MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH. PART VI, LINE 6: THIS ENTITY IS PART OF IOWA HEALTH SYSTEM (D/B/A UNITYPOINT HEALTH), THE NATION'S FIFTH LARGEST NON-DENOMINATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM WITH $4.8B IN OPERATING REVENUE AND 29,000 TEAM MEMBERS. AS AN INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, UNITYPOINT HEALTH PROVIDES CARE THROUGHOUT IOWA, WESTERN ILLINOIS AND SOUTHERN WISCONSIN IN NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS, CLINICS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE FACILITIES.

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3 - ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE IOWA HEALTH SYSTEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS ("COMMITTEE") CONDUCTS A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF ALL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THE IHS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (THE "CEO").
