      <Desc>EL PASO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS THE ONLY SEPARATELY LICENSED, NON-TAXING, INDEPENDENT, 501(C)(3) NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHILDRENS HOSPITAL IN THE EL PASO, TEXAS REGION AND THE ONLY DEDICATED PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL WITHIN A 200-MILE RADIUS. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES PEDIATRIC INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT AND EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES TO CHILDREN FROM BIRTH THROUGH ADOLESCENCE. IT OPENED FEBRUARY 14, 2012, RECEIVED THE JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATION ON MARCH 9, 2012, AND ITS MEDICAID PROVIDER NUMBER IN JUNE 2012. THROUGH THE HOSPITAL'S AFFILIATION WITH TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER, THE HOSPITAL CONDUCTS PEDIATRIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION, AND SERVES AS A TEACHING HOSPITAL FOR THE TEXAS TECH RESIDENCY PROGRAM. THE HOSPITAL HAS FOUR FULL-TIME TEXAS MEDICAID HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIP (TMHP) PERSONNEL LOCATED IN THE BUILDING TO ENSURE THAT EVERY ELIGIBLE PATIENT IS ENROLLED IN CHIP-TEXAS WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY LEGISLATED TO PROVIDE MEDICAID-LIKE COVERAGE TO CHILDREN EVEN IF THEIR PARENTS DO NOT QUALIFY. AS A RESULT, THE FEDERALLY DEFINED AND REPORTED 1.8% OF TOTAL EXPENSE ON FORM 990 FOR TEXAS BASED PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS IS GENERALLY LOW. THIS INDICATES THAT THE LARGE MAJORITY OF CHILDREN CAN BE ENROLLED IN SOME TYPE OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. AS A RESULT, ONLY A VERY FEW CASES REMAIN IN THE TRADITIONAL CATEGORY OF CHARITY. THOSE PATIENTS REMAINING IN A CHARITY CLASSIFICATION ARE PROVIDED FREE OR REDUCED CHARGES PER WRITTEN EL PASO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL POLICY. MORE CHARITY CARE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON PAGES 10-11 OF THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SEE ATTACHED.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>HOSPITAL FACILITY ACQUISITION: EL PASO CHILDRENS HOSPITAL (EPCH) WAS FORMED IN 2008 AS A NON-MEMBER ENTITY EXEMPT UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C(3) AS A HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL OPERATED AS A SINGLE ENTITY UNTIL IT NEEDED TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY IN MAY 2015. AFTER FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY, THE HOSPITAL WENT THROUGH A REORGANIZATION WHERE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER (UMC) BECAME THE HOSPITALS SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER ON JANUARY 1, 2016. THIS REORGANIZATION INCLUDED THE APPOINTMENT OF A BRAND NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE APPLICATION OF FRESH-START ACCOUNTING. UMC, A DUAL STATUS GOVERNMENTAL HOSPITAL, BEGAN CONSOLIDATING EPCH INTO ITS FINANCIALS AND OPERATIONS AT THE TIME OF ACQUISITION. DUE TO THE ACQUISITION, UNDER THE FINAL REGULATION SECTION 1.501(R)-3(D)(1), EPCH WAS NOT REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT UNTIL THE LAST DAY OF ITS SECOND TAX YEAR AFTER THE ACQUISITION, SEPTEMBER 30, 2018. BEFORE THE ACQUISITION OCCURRED, EPCH WAS COMPLIANT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER 1.501(R)-3 FOR COMPLETING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. CURRENTLY, EPCH HAS COMPLETED THE MOST RECENT CHNA AND PLANS TO HAVE IT APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN AUGUST 2018. IT WILL BE ADDED TO THE EPCH WEBSITE SHORTLY AFTER APPROVAL.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>BAD DEBT FOOTNOTE: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYERS 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 HOSPITAL RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS 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. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED OR PROVIDED BY POLICY) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>COMMUNITY INFORMATION: THE CITY OF EL PASO IS LOCATED IN FAR WEST TEXAS, ALONG THE US/MEXICO BORDER. ON THE MEXICAN SIDE OF THE BORDER, THE POPULATION OF THE CIUDAD JUAREZ EXCEEDS THAT OF EL PASO, TEXAS. MOST OF EL PASO COUNTY'S POPULATION IS CENTERED AROUND THE CITY OF EL PASO. THE EL PASO CITY AND COUNTY UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN JUNE 2014 WERE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND NATIONAL AVERAGE. THE MEDIAN AGE OF PEOPLE IN THE EL PASO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COMMUNITY IS VARIED, WITH SOME AREAS IN THE COMMUNITY BELOW 21.0 AND OTHER AREAS AS HIGH AS 40.7. THIS LIKELY TRANSLATES TO A BROAD VARIETY OF HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY, BASED ON AGE POPULATION, AND PROPORTIONATELY MORE CHILDREN IN CERTAIN ZIP CODES OVER OTHERS. AS A COMPARISON, THE MEDIAN AGE IN TEXAS IS 33.6 YEARS, AND THE NATIONAL MEDIAN AGE IS 36.8 YEARS. THE RACIAL MAKEUP OF THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY IS PREDOMINATELY WHITE, AND AFRICAN AMERICAN AS A VERY DISTANT SECOND. EL PASO COUNTY IS LESS RACIALLY DIVERSE THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS OVERALL. AT 81 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY, THE HISPANIC POPULATION IN EL PASO COUNTY IS VERY LARGE, RELATIVE TO 38 PERCENT IN TEXAS. EL PASO COUNTY HAS A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS. NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE POVERTY LEVEL IN EL PASO COUNTY IS ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THAT OF TEXAS. THE CHILD POVERTY RATE IN EL PASO COUNTY IS ALSO HIGHER THAN THE TEXAS STATE AVERAGE. SEVERAL OF THE ZIP CODES IN THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HAVE PARTICULARLY HIGH CHILD POVERTY RATES. ZIP CODES 79901, 79916, AND 79838 ARE NEARLY TWICE THE RATE OF EL PASO COUNTY AND THREE TIMES THAT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. IN THE 2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR, 68.8% OF EL PASO COUNTY CHILDREN WERE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR REDUCED PRICE SCHOOL LUNCHES, COMPARED TO 50.1% OF CHILDREN IN TEXAS. SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5 PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH: EL PASO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ELEVATES THE QUALITY AND SCOPE OF MEDICAL CARE IN THE EL PASO REGION BY PROVIDING UNMATCHED EXCELLENCE IN SPECIALIZED PEDIATRIC PATIENT CARE AS WELL AS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES.

        <ExplanationTxt>CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY: EL PASO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (EPCH) LEADERS AND MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL STAFF SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ANNUALLY, CERTIFYING THAT THEY RECEIVED, READ, AND UNDERSTOOD THIS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH IT. THE LEADERS OBTAIN THE CERTIFICATION FORM FROM THE COMPLIANCE OFFICE. ANNUALLY, THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER PROVIDES NOTIFICATION TO EPCH LEADERS TO COMPLETE THE FORM. IT IS THE EPCH LEADERS' RESPONSIBILITY TO RETURN THE SIGNED FORM TO THE COMPLIANCE OFFICE NO LATER THAN THE SEVENTH BUSINESS DAY UPON NOTIFICATION FROM THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER. AS STATED ABOVE, FAILURE TO RETURN THE FORM TO THE COMPLIANCE OFFICE SHALL CAUSE THE EPCH LEADER TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THIS POLICY. MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL STAFF OBTAIN THE CERTIFICATION FORM FROM MEDICAL STAFF SERVICES AT THE TIME OF INITIAL CREDENTIALING AND RECREDENTIALING. IT IS THE MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERS RESPONSIBILITY TO RETURN THE SIGNED FORM TO MEDICAL STAFF SERVICES IN A TIMELY MANNER. MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERS WILL NOT BE (RE)CREDENTIALED IN THE ABSENCE OF A SIGNED CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. EACH TIME A PROCUREMENT PROCESS IS INITIATED AND A COMMITTEE IS INVOLVED IN MAKING A DECISION OR RECOMMENDATION ON A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, A CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION STATEMENT MUST BE COMPLETED BY THOSE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED THE ANNUAL CERTIFICATION. THE COMPLIANCE OFFICE MAINTAINS THE FILE OF THE ANNUAL CERTIFICATION FORMS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF, AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS CONCERNING HIS OR HER FINANCIAL/PERSONAL INTEREST TO THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER WITHIN SEVEN BUSINESS DAYS OF IDENTIFYING THE ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT. SUCH DISCLOSURE WILL BE MADE IN WRITING BY SUBMITTING A HOSPITAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FORM. OUTSIDE INTERESTS SHALL BE DISCLOSED AS A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN EPCH LEADERS RECEIVE MONIES FOR DUTIES PERFORMED AT ENTITIES WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR SERVICE OFFERED AND IN A GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION SERVING THE SAME COMMUNITY. THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER REVIEWS WITH THE CEO AND GENERAL COUNSEL ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION FORMS THAT IDENTIFY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS. THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER MAY ASK THE INTERESTED PERSON TO DISCUSS THE TRANSACTION IN ORDER TO OBTAIN FURTHER DETAILS. THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER MAY, IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO ANY TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT AND DETERMINES WHETHER THE HOSPITAL CAN OBTAIN A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS FROM A PERSON OR ENTITY THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER PROVIDES QUARTERLY REPORTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETAILING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND HOW THEY WERE ADDRESSED WITH RESPECT TO RESEARCH. EPCH REQUIRES THAT A RESEARCH INVESTIGATOR DISCLOSE TO EPCH OUTSIDE FINANCIAL INTERESTS ABOVE SPECIFIED THRESHOLDS WHEN RESEARCH WOULD LIKELY BE AFFECTED BY THOSE INTERESTS. EPCH REVIEWS THE DISCLOSURES, DETERMINES WHETHER THERE IS A CONFLICT AND, IF SO, MANAGES, REDUCES, OR ELIMINATES IT, BEFORE ALLOWING PARTICIPATION IN THE PROPOSED RESEARCH PROJECT. UPON DISCOVERY OF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT HAS NOT BEEN DISCLOSED, THE EPCH LEADERS' MEDICAL STAFF MEMBER IS NOTIFIED BY THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER AND AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE IF, AFTER REVIEWING THE RESPONSE AND MAKING SUCH FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS APPROPRIATE THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER SHALL INFORM THE CEO OF THE DETERMINATION WHETHER THE EPCH LEADER/MEDICAL STAFF MEMBER FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. ANY VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY MAY BE GROUNDS FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION INCLUDING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR HOSPITAL CREDENTIALS, AND FOR CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.</ExplanationTxt>
