| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X | THE SYSTEM IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C) (3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES ON RELATED INCOME PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(A) OF THE CODE. ON SUCH A BASIS, THE EXEMPT ENTITIES DO NOT INCUR LIABILITY FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE SYSTEM EVALUATES UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS USING A TWO-STEP APPROACH FOR RECOGNIZING AND MEASURING TAX BENEFITS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN AN UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITY TAX RETURN AND DISCLOSURES REGARDING UNCERTAINTIES IN TAX POSITIONS. NO ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE REQUIRED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVALUATION. ON DECEMBER 22, 2017 THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO LAW H.R. 1, ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT. THE NEW LAW INCLUDES SEVERAL PROVISIONS THAT RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO THE TAX TREATMENT OF TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR DONORS. THE SYSTEM HAS REVIEWED THESE PROVISIONS AND THE POTENTIAL IMPACT AND CONCLUDED THE ENACTMENT OF H.R. 1 DID NOT HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE OPERATIONS OF THE SYSTEM. |

WHEN A DONOR RESTRICTION EXPIRES, THAT IS, WHEN A STIPULATED TIME RESTRICTION ENDS OR PURPOSE RESTRICTION IS ACCOMPLISHED, TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS ARE RECLASSIFIED AS UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS AND REPORTED IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AS NET ASSETS RELEASED FROM RESTRICTIONS. DONOR RESTRICTED DONATIONS WHOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE MET WITHIN THE SAME YEAR AS RECEIVED ARE REPORTED AS UNRESTRICTED DONATIONS IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS. |

| FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 3E | (1) OBESITY (2) MENTAL HEALTH (3) ADDICTION (4) ACCESS TO CARE PART V, SECTION B, 3I THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN 2016 INDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY: OBESITY, MENTAL HEALTH, ADDICTION AND ACCESS TO CARE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN WERE AS FOLLOWS: (1)OBESITY - MORE THAN 200,000 RESIDENTS ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. READING HOSPITAL INCREASED THE NUMBER OF F.I.T.T. (FUN ACTIVE HEALTHY YOUTH) PROGRAM SESSIONS FROM ONCE TO TWICE PER YEAR. THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN PARTICIPATION WITH THE ADDITION OF THESE SESSIONS FROM 1 SESSION WITH 10 PARTICIPANTS DURING FY2017 TO 4 SESSIONS WITH 39 PARTICIPANTS AND 4 SESSIONS WITH 33 PARTICIPANTS FOR FY2018 AND FY2019, RESPECTIVELY. THE BE WELL BERKS GRANT PROGRAM WAS CREATED AS A MEANS TO INVEST DOLLARS INTO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING TO ADDRESS AND REDUCE OBESITY AMONG RESIDENTS. TWO PROGRAMS THAT WERE FUNDED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM WERE THE ANTIETAM SCHOOL DISTRICT - ANTIETAM FIT PROGRAM (20,855.52 AWARD) AND NEW JOURNEY COMMUNITY OUTREACH, INC. - FIGHTING POVERTY. FEEDING HOPE. PROJECT (20,000.00 AWARD). READING HOSPITAL ALSO PARTNERED WITH ZAGSTER, INC. TO IMPLEMENT A BIKE SHARE PROGRAM FOR ITS STAFF. MEMBERSHIP HAS STEADILY INCREASED FROM FY2017 (86 MEMBERS) TO 105 MEMBERS DURING FY2018 AND 160 MEMBERS IN FY2019. (2)MENTAL HEALTH - MORE THAN 175,000 RESIDENTS SUFFER FROM ANXIETY OR DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, READING HOSPITAL HAS EMBEDDED 8 INTEGRATED CARE CLINICIANS WHO PROVIDE SERVICES AT 8 SITES TO PROVIDE BRIEF SUPPORTIVE THERAPY TO ASSIST WITH CURRENT CRISES, INTERMITTENT CONTACTS TO ASSIST WITH ONGOING MAINTENANCE OF GAINS, AND REFERRALS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AS NEEDED. AT THE ORIGINAL 2 PRACTICES, 75% OF TOTAL PATIENTS (13,840) WERE SCREENED. OF THOSE, 1,591 WERE MODERATELY DEPRESSED, AND 2,215 OF THE SCREENED PATIENTS LIVE IN THE 19601 ZIP CODE. READING HOSPITAL ALSO PARTNERED WITH SCREENING FOR MENTAL HEALTH, INC. TO IMPLEMENT A MINDKARE KIOSK, WHICH WAS LAUNCHED IN DECEMBER 2017, AIMED AT REDUCING MENTAL HEALTH STIGMA. MENTAL HEALTH SCREENINGS INCREASED FROM 39 KIOSK SCREENINGS AND 579 ONLINE SCREENINGS IN FY2018 TO 43 KIOSK SCREENINGS AND 644 ONLINE SCREENINGS (AS OF APRIL 2019). THE BE WELL BERKS GRANT PROGRAM ALSO AWARDED 34,030.48 IN FUNDING TO BERKS COUNSELING CENTER TO TRAIN PEERS IN WHOLE HEALTH ACTION MANAGEMENT (WHAM) AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) TRAINING. 12 PEER SPECIALISTS FROM 7 COMMUNITY AGENCIES PARTICIPATED IN WHAM TRAINING, AND 4 BERKS COUNSELING CENTER STAFF BECAME CERTIFIED MHFA TRAINERS. THREE MHFA TRAININGS HAVE BEEN HELD TO DATE FOR OVER 60 PARTICIPANTS. ADDITIONAL TRAININGS ARE BEING SCHEDULED. (3)ADDICTION - RESIDENTS LACK ACCESS TO COORDINATED, COMMUNITY-BASED TREATMENT. READING HOSPITAL WAS THE RECIPIENT OF A 500,000 GRANT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES AND WAS DESIGNATED AN OPIOID USE DISORDER CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (COE). THE COE RESPONDED TO MORE THAN 1,200 REFERRALS FOR ADDICTION TREATMENT - 522 REFERRALS WERE MADE IN CY2017, 541 REFERRALS WERE MADE IN CY2018, AND 221 REFERRALS WERE MADE IN CY2019 (AS OF APRIL 2019). THE COE ALSO PROVIDED COORDINATED, COMMUNITY-BASED CASE MANAGEMENT TO MORE THAN 700 PATIENTS - 325 UNDUPLICATED PATIENTS IN CY2017, 282 UNDUPLICATED PATIENTS IN CY2018, AND 109 UNDUPLICATED PATIENTS IN CY2019 (AS OF APRIL 2019). THE HOSPITAL INSTITUTED A 24/7 WARM HANDOFF AND CREATED CARE TEAMS CONSISTING OF THERAPISTS, NURSES, PROVIDERS, AND CARE COORDINATORS TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE CARE THAT ADDRESSES PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND BEHAVIORAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION. (4)ACCESS - UNMET SOCIAL NEEDS AND LACK OF CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE CREATES BARRIERS. READING HOSPITAL RECEIVED A 4.5M GRANT FROM CENTER FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES TO IMPLEMENT THE ACCOUNTABLE HEALTH COMMUNITIES MODEL, KNOWN AT THE HOSPITAL AS THE COMMUNITY CONNECTION PROJECT (CCP), TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS UNMET SOCIAL NEEDS WITHIN THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENT POPULATIONS. IN FY2019 (AS OF APRIL 2019), THE CCP SCREENED 27,455 SCREENINGS FOR 17,057 PATIENTS. AS A RESULT OF THOSE SCREENINGS, 7,394 COMMUNITY REFERRAL SUMMARIES WERE DISTRIBUTED, AND NAVIGATION SERVICES WERE OFFERED TO 2,019 PATIENT CASES. TOWER HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP'S STREET MEDICINE PROGRAM PROVIDES PRIMARY CARE TO HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS IN SOUP KITCHENS, HOMELESS SHELTERS, AND TENT SITES. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED CARE TO OVER 900 UNIQUE PATIENTS. IN FY2017, 563 VISITS WERE CONDUCTED WITH 205 UNIQUE PATIENTS. IN FY2018, 810 VISITS WERE CONDUCTED WITH 407 UNIQUE PATIENTS. AND IN FY2019 (AS OF APRIL 2019), 716 VISITS WERE CONDUCTED WITH 320 UNIQUE PATIENTS. MIDPENN LEGAL SERVICES WAS AWARDED 85,024.00 IN FUNDING FROM THE BE WELL BERKS GRANT PROGRAM TO IMPLEMENT A MEDICAL LEGAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM BEGAN PRACTICE IN NOVEMBER 2018, AND AS OF APRIL 2019, 109 REFERRALS WERE MADE IN THE AREAS OF HOUSING AND INCOME. TO IMPROVE CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE, READING HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTED CULTURAL COMPETENCY TRAINING FOR STAFF. AS OF APRIL 2019, 4 OF 9 COHORTS WERE CONDUCTED, TRAINING 111 STAFF. A TENTH TRAINING SESSION IS PLANNED AS A TRAIN-THE-TRAINER STYLE COURSE. A NUMBER OF WORKPLACE AND VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE OPPORTUNITIES ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TO ENCOURAGE SELECTION OF HEALTHCARE AS A CAREER PATH. IN FY2017, 312 STUDENTS ENGAGED IN THE PATHWAYS TO HEALTHCARE CAREERS PROGRAMS (MEDICAL EXPLORERS - 209 STUDENTS, JOB SHADOWING - 14 STUDENTS, HIGH SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM - 8 STUDENTS). IN FY2018, 368 STUDENTS WERE ENGAGED (MEDICAL EXPLORERS - 184 STUDENTS, JOB SHADOWING - 83 STUDENTS, ADVENTURES IN HEALTH SCIENCE AND MEDICINE (AHSM) PROGRAM - 92 STUDENTS, HIGH SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM - 9 STUDENTS). IN FY2019 (AS OF APRIL 2019), 381 STUDENTS WERE ENGAGED (MEDICAL EXPLORERS - 130 STUDENTS, JOB SHADOWING - 127 STUDENTS, AHSM PROGRAM - 116 STUDENTS, HIGH SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM - 8 STUDENTS). PART V, SECTION B, 4 THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN MARCH 2019 BUT WAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL 7/1/19. READING HOSPITAL HAS PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO HAVE FUTURE CHNA'S TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON 6/30. |
| FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 5 | THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS WERE CONDUCTED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY: (1) STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS (2) FOCUS GROUPS (3) SENIOR LEADERSHIP FORUM (4) KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS (5) INTERCEPT SURVEYS (6) COMMUNITY TELEPHONE SURVEY INDIVIDUALS WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN A COMMUNITY DATA WALK TO ASSIST WITH PRIORTIZING THE DATA. |

| FACILITY 1, READING HOSPITAL - PART V, LINE 11 | READING HOSPITAL DEVELOPED A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THE IMPLEMENTATIN PLAN, WHICH COVERS A THREE YEAR SPAN, OUTLINES SPECIFIC STRATEGIES FOR EACH PRIORITY AREA THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED THROUGH A VARIETY OF METHODS INCLUDING INPUT FROM EXPERT PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AND COLLABORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. AN OVERVIEW OF EACH PRIORITY FOLLOWS: ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE: THE GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE COMMUNITY'S ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES, PARTICULARLY THOSE COMMUNITY MEMBERS CONSIDERED VULNERABLE AND/OR LIVING IN UNDERSERVED AREAS. READING HOSPITAL WILL UTILIZE GSI TECHNOLOGY TO IDENTIFY SUBPOPULATIONS WHO ARE AT RISK FOR HIGHER READMISSION RATES AND CHRONIC CONDITIONS OR DISEASES AND OVERLAY THIS WITH DATA SETS TO HELP SUPPORT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, PLACEMENT OF SERVICES, AND MESSAGING. THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THIS RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT OF CURRENT PROGRAMS THAT DELIVER CARE TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS (I.E. STREET MEDICINE, COMMUNITY PARAMEDICINE, AND REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING PROGRAMS), AS WELL AS TO DEVELOP PLANS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO SPECIALTY CARE THROUGH VIRTUAL OFFICE VISITS, TELECART, MOBILE APPS, AND TELEMEDICINE. BY STREAMLINING AN ADVANCED ACCESS CENTER WILL PROVIDE EASE OF ACCESS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS SEEKING TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS WITH AMBULATORY AND SPECIALTY CARE SERVICE LINES. READING HOSPITAL WILL WORK TO IMPROVE CULTURAL SENSITIVITY OF STAFF BY CONDUCTING CULTURAL AWARENESS TRAININGS AND CREATING A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COUNCIL FOR PROVIDERS AND OTHER CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL STAFF TO PARTICIPATE. READING HOSPITAL WILL ALSO WORK TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO EDUCATION STUDENTS ABOUT CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE - MEDICAL EXPLORERS, JOB SHADOWING, HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS, AND ADVENTURES IN HEALTH SCIENCE AND MEDICINE - THROUGH PROGRAM PROMOTION. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH: THE GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH). READING HOSPITAL WILL SEEK TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL IN THE CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT BY SCREENING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS IN IDENTIFIED CLINICAL AREAS, IDENTIFYING NEEDS, CONNECTING PATIENTS TO APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY RESOURCES, AND PROVIDING NAVIGATION SERVICES TO PATIENTS IDENTIFIED AS HIGH-RISK. THROUGH THE MEDICAL LEGAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, READING HOSPITAL WILL UTILIZE AN IN-HOUSE ATTORNEY TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH LEGAL ISSUES THAT HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON HEALTH (I.E. HOUSING, INCOME STABILITY, ETC.) TO HELP REDUCE TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS, READING HOSPITAL WILL IMPLEMENT THE RIDE HEALTH PROGRAM. READING HOSPITAL WILL ALSO IMPLEMENT COMMUNITY-BASED INTERVENTION INITIATIVES, SPECIFICALLY A COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER PROGRAM TO WORK WITH PEDIATRIC ASTHMA PATIENTS, THEN SEEK TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM TO ADDITIONAL POPULATIONS. DISEASE PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT: THIS GOAL IS TO IMPLEMENT CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, SPECIFICALLY TARGETING VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. READING HOSPITAL WILL CONDUCT MULTIPLE CANCER SCREENING EVENTS FOR THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING CERVICAL CANCER, BREAST CANCER, ORAL CANCER, AND SKIN CANCER SCREENINGS. READING HOSPITAL WILL IMPLEMENT SHORT AND LONG-TERM WELLNESS INITIATIVES THROUGH TOWER WELLNESS PROGRAMS, ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN BERKS TRAIL CHALLENGE, INCREASE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH EATING HABITS AMONG SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH THROUGH THE F.I.T.T. PROGRAM, AND ENCOURAGE STAFF TO UTILIZE THE BIKE SHARE PROGRAM AS A FORM OF EXERCISE. READING HOSPITAL WILL PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD. ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES: THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO SCREENING, ASSESSMENT, TREATMENT, AND SUPPORT FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. READING HOSPITAL'S CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (COE) WILL SCREEN PATIENTS FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) AND DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF CARE VIA STANDARDIZED PROCESSES (SBIRT) AND TOOLS (ASAM PLACEMENT CRITERIA). TOWER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, A JOINT VENTURE WITH ACADIA, WILL BUILD A NEW 144-BED IMPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FACILITY. MINDKARE'S KIOSK AND ONLINE FREE, ANONYMOUS, CONFIDENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING TOOL WILL BE PROMOTED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. READING HOSPITAL'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTEGRATION PROGRAM WILL INTEGRATE THERAPISTS INTO PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES WHERE PATIENTS WILL BE SCREENED FOR DEPRESSION, AND THOSE WHO SCREENED POSITIVE WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE EMBEDDED THERAPIST FOR ASSISTANCE. READING HOSPITAL WILL ALSO SEEK TO DECREASE THE STIGMA RELATED TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BY PARTNERING WITH BERKS COUNSELING CENTER TO CONDUCT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAININGS FOR STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY. LIST OF HEALTH NEEDS THE FACILITY DOES NOT PLAN TO ADDRESS: READING HOSPITAL DOES NOT INTEND TO ADDRESS DIABETES AS A STAND-ALONE CONDITION. RATHER IT WILL BE CATEGORIZED AS A CHRONIC DISEASE AND WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY. DENTAL HEALTH, TOBACCO AND STDS WILL BE ADDRESSED THROUGH ONGOING HEALTH SYSTEM INITIATIVES AND/OR IN COLLABORATION WITH ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. |

| PART I, LINE 3C - OTHER INCOME BASED CRITERIA FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE | PATIENTS WILL BE ASKED TO PROVIDE VERIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME ALONG WITH THE NAMES OF PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE HOUSEHOLD, AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE INFORMATION IS UTILIZED IN DETERMINING WHERE THE HOUSEHOLD FALLS IN THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL GUIDELINE (FPL). THE FPL CATEGORY WILL DETERMINE THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT TOWARD THEIR MEDICAL BILL. |
| PART I, LINE 7G - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXPLANATION | READING HOSPITAL UTILIZES THE IRS GUIDELINES IN DETERMINING THE RATIO OF PATIENT COST TO CHARGES TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF EACH SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE. THIS CALCULATION DOES NOT REFLECT READING HOSPITAL'S OPERATIONAL LOSS. CURRENTLY THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY ON A SUBSIDIZED BASIS AS THESE SERVICES REFLECT AN OPERATIONAL LOSS. READING HOSPITAL IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE CENTER PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE ACUTE CARE, POST-ACUTE CARE REHABILITATION, BEHAVIORAL, AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF BERKS AND ADJOINING COUNTIES. READING HOSPITAL LIES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY OF READING, WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 79,181, IN 2019. 34.94% OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY LIVE BELOW FEDERAL POVERTY LEVELS. THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS TRACK CLOSELY TO THE HIGH POVERTY RATE IN THE CITY. THE ADULT PREVALENCE OF DIABETES, THE PROPORTION OF ADULTS WITH DIAGNOSED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, THE PERCENT OF WOMEN WHO RECEIVE NO PRENATAL CARE IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER, THE PEDIATRIC AND ADULT ASTHMA HOSPITAL ADMISSION RATES, AND THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE PNEUMONIA DEATH RATE ALL EXCEED THE NATIONAL BENCHMARKS FOR THESE INDICATORS. THE MISSION OF READING HOSPITAL IS TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY, COST EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY; TO PROMOTE HEALTH; TO EDUCATE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS; AND TO PARTICIPATE IN APPROPRIATE CLINICAL RESEARCH. READING HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, EVEN WHEN THE NEEDED SERVICES CAUSE A DRAIN ON CAPITAL RESOURCES. READING HOSPITAL IS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL PROVIDES APPROXIMATELY ONE-THIRD OF ALL INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES USED BY THE RESIDENTS OF BERKS COUNTY AND 28% AMONG PATIENTS AGE 60+. ANOTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER, HAVEN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, HAS RECENTLY ESTABLISHED A TREATMENT FACILITY IN THE CITY OF READING OFFERING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL TREATS NEARLY 55% OF BERKS COUNTY PATIENTS REQUIRING INPATIENT SERVICES FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE. THE OTHER NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL IN THE AREA SERVES ONLY 4% OF THESE PATIENTS. READING HOSPITAL HAS EXPANDED AND RELOCATED ITS INPATIENT DETOXIFICATION CENTER TO MEET THE GROWING NEED FOR THESE SERVICES. IF READING HOSPITAL CEASED TO PROVIDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES, PATIENTS WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE AREA FOR TREATMENT BECAUSE LOCAL PROVIDERS WOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MEET THE NEED. READING HOSPITAL PERENNIALLY RANKS AMONG THE TOP FOUR PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITALS IN OUTPATIENT SERVICES. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH POVERTY RATE AND THE HIGH NUMBER OF UNINSURED AND MEDICAID/CHIP RESIDENTS, OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE OFTEN PROVIDED WITHOUT ADEQUATE COMPENSATION. |
| PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION | IN THE CHARITY CARE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SECTION OF LINE 7 A COST TO CHARGE RATIO DEVELOPED FROM OUR MEDICARE COST REPORT IS UTILIZED. |
| PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS 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 (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE SYSTEM RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES, IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. |
| PART III, LINE 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE | IN PRIOR YEARS, THE HOSPITAL UTILIZED A PRODUCT THROUGH THE ADVISORY BOARD TO PROJECT THE PERCENTAGE OF PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY. THE HOSPITAL ENDED THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ADVISORY BOARD, BUT LEVERAGED THE METHODOLOGY USED BY THE ADVISORY BOARD TO ESTIMATE THE CURRENT YEAR AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. |

ASK SOMEONE TO DEFINE A HOSPITAL'S ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND MOST OFTEN YOU HEAR ABOUT SERVICES AND DEPARTMENTS, OR ABOUT DOCTORS, NURSES AND OTHER CAREGIVERS. IN ADDITION TO ITS PRIMARY ROLE AS A PROVIDER OF DIRECT CARE, READING HOSPITAL ADDRESSES ISSUES OUTSIDE THAT REALM THAT IMPACT HEALTH AND WELLNESS. IN FACT, A KEY PART OF OUR MISSION MEANS THE REINVESTMENT OF OUR RESOURCES INTO THESE EFFORTS, WHICH ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. WE ARE PROUD TO REPORT THAT IN OUR LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE COMMITTED MORE THAN 192 MILLION TO THIS CAUSE. OUR CAREGIVERS AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH EDUCATION, FREE SCREENINGS, AND IMMUNIZATIONS. THEY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS OR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, ADVANCE SELF-CARE BY INCREASING HEALTHCARE KNOWLEDGE, AND ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH AN ARRAY OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL, SERVICE AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHY THESE PROGRAMS REPRESENT THE BEST OF ALL OF US, WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.
