        <ExplanationTxt>The Hospital belongs to certain organizations that engage in lobbying activities on behalf of their hospital members. Since this is a nonallowable expense, these organizations inform their members the portion of their dues that should be considered applicable to lobbying expenses so that the appropriate adjustment can be made. In an effort to determine which dues include lobbying expenses, the Hospital reviewed the invoices for all dues payments in excess of $10,000 and scheduled all other payments we were made aware of through various inquiry.</ExplanationTxt>

Stakeholders from both the primary and secondary service area were invited to participate in an online survery to identify health needs for childrens in Alabama. Responding parties included school nurses, administrators, pediatricians, family practice physicians, community advocates and the community at large. In addition to the online survery tool, face-to-face and telephone interviews were conducted in 2016 with Alabama's public health leaders and community and nonprofit advocates. COA's community health needs assessment findings were released on December 31, 2016. For 2018, data continued to be analyzed to identify the greatest health needs for childrens, public health trends and pediatric health challenges and planning began for the 2019 assessment.</ExplanationTxt>

Thousands of cumulative hours of workforce development and training were reported on a quarterly basis by Hospital divisions training health professionals through annual and seasonal internships. Hospital employees continued their participation in community coalitions including the United Way of Central Alabama's bold goals, local and regional roundtables on mental health, statewide coalitions to address child hunger, access to care, and numerous child safety-related coalitions. The Hospital hosted statewide and local leadership groups in 2018, (i.e. Leadership Birmingham and Leadership Alabama). Our human resource department continued to participate in job and career fairs and marketing campaigns to recruit a broad spectrum of health professionals. Hospital executives served on a variety of community boards, organizations, and professional organizations at a national, state, and local level.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Receivables from patients, insurance companies and third-party contractual agencies are stated at net realizable value. The Hospital evaluates the collectability of its patient accounts receivable based on the length of time the receivable is outstanding, historical collection experience, review of large balance accounts and trends in health care insurance programs to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients with third-party insurers, the Hospital estimates contractual allowances based on the terms of third-party insured contracts and estimates an additional allowance for doubtful accounts on patient responsible balances after third-party payments. For receivables associated with self-pay patients, the hospital records a significant provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible. These allowances are recorded on an estimated basis and adjusted as needed in future periods. Doubtful accounts are written off against the allowance after adequate collection effort is exhausted and recorded as recoveries of bad debts if subsequently collected.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Bad debts attributable to patients eligible for charity care were calculated based on the outstanding patient balance in excess of a reasonable amount the average person could pay without creating a medical hardship. For 2018 this amount is $24,600, which approximates the income limit for a family of 4 in the federal poverty guidelines. Charity care determinations are based on completing the required application and meeting defined criteria of the hospital. Many times patients fail to complete paperwork required despite efforts to educate and inform patients of this option. However based on socio-economic and other known factors, it is highly likely that these patients would meet established charity care criteria if the application process was completed.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Corporate Compliance Officer is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Conflict of Interest Policy. Annual disclosure requests are sent and followed up on to ensure that all are returned.

        <ExplanationTxt>The Hospital maintains oversight concerning all executive compensation action. This process is led by the Hospital board of trustees compensation committee, which is involved annually, and throughout the year as needed, in providing oversight of all executive compensation. Total compensation (i.e., base salary, incentive compensation, and executive benefits) of officers, key employees, and other vice-presidents is approved by the compensation committee prior to such compensation being paid. The total compensation that is presented for approval is determined by evaluation of market data comparisons on executive total compensation. This independent, objective market data is provided by the hospital's independent executive compensation consulting firm, Sullivan Cotter. All compensation committee proceedings, decisions, and actions are documented in committee minutes that are maintained by the Hospital.</ExplanationTxt>
