THIS ASSESSMENT WAS IN LARGE PART A JOINT PROCESS AMONG FOUR INDIANA HEALTH SYSTEMS: COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK, IU HEALTH, ST. FRANCIS ALLIANCE, AND ST. VINCENT. COMBINED, THESE ARE THE LARGEST HEALTH SYSTEMS IN INDIANA. THROUGH THIS COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP, COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA WAS COLLECTED IN THREE WAYS: 1. SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION: DATA ON HEALTH AND WELLNESS ISSUES WAS COLLECTED. SOURCES INCLUDE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, CENSUS BUREAU DATA, VARIOUS REPORTS FROM THE INDIANA STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND OTHER NATIONAL REPORTS. INDIANA INDICATORS, COMMUNITY COMMONS, AND HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE SECONDARY DATA USED. SOURCES OF THE SECONDARY DATA ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT. 2. COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY: A CORE OF 20 MANDATORY QUESTIONS BASED ON PERCEPTION OF COMMUNITY AND PERSONAL NEEDS WERE CREATED. IN ADDITION, PROFESSIONALS ASSIGNED TO EACH COUNTY WORKED WITH ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY HEALTH COLLABORATIVES, LOCAL HOSPITALS, AND THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO CREATE 9 QUESTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE COUNTY. THIS RESULTED IN A SURVEY WITH 20 TO 29 QUESTIONS, DEPENDENT ON THE RESPONDENT'S COUNTY OF RESIDENCE. THE SURVEY WAS DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONICALLY AND ON PAPER. IN ADDITION TO THE QUANTITATIVE DATA, FREE TEXT RESPONSES WERE CODED AND CALCULATED TO PROVIDE FURTHER CLARIFICATION OF THE QUANTITATIVE DATA. 3. FOCUS GROUPS: IN ADDITION TO THE SURVEY THE PARTNERSHIP HOSTED FOCUS GROUPS THAT INCLUDED 15-60 COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH, HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, RELATED NONPROFITS, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND GRASSROOTS/NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS. IN LARGER FOCUS GROUPS, SUB-GROUPS WERE UTILIZED TO GIVE ALL PARTICIPANTS A VOICE. EACH FOCUS GROUP DETERMINED THE TOP FOUR TO SIX HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY; POTENTIAL RESOURCES OR PARTNERS; AND SOME ACTIONS/INTERVENTIONS THAT MIGHT WORK BEST. OUTSIDE OF THE COLLABORATIVE, COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK INVITED KEY PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMANTS TO PROVIDE THEIR INPUT ON COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE FOLLOWING INFORMANTS WERE INTERVIEWED: DUANE KRAMBECK-PRINCIPAL OF CHRISTIAN PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN INDIANAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS; MARY CONWAY, MSN, RN ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR FOR NURSING SERVICES IN INDIANAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS; AND RANDY MILLER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DRUG FREE MARION COUNTY. THESE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION MECHANISMS HELPED IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND SECONDARY DATA CONFIRMED THE NEEDS PERFORM BELOW STATE AVERAGES. FURTHER REVIEW OF THE HEALTH NEEDS DETERMINED THE EXTENT TO WHICH HEALTH INEQUITIES MAY EXIST AND WHICH SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION ARE MORE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED. GROUP A, FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY HOSPITAL NORTH - PART V, LINE 6A THE CHNA FOR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL NORTH WAS A JOINT PROCESS AMONG ALL OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK HOSPITALS WHICH INCLUDES: COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK, INC. (NORTH, EAST, & INDIANA HEART HOSPITAL, LLC), COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SOUTH, INC., COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OF ANDERSON AND MADISON COUNTY, INC., COMMUNITY HOWARD REGIONAL HEALTH, INC., AND INDIANAPOLIS OSTEOPATHIC HOSPITAL, INC. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL COLLABORATED WITH ST. FRANCIS ALLIANCE, IU HEALTH UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, AND ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL. GROUP A, FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY HOSPITAL NORTH - PART V, LINE 6B THE CHNA WAS ALSO CONDUCTED WITH HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE. GROUP A, FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY HOSPITAL NORTH - PART V, LINE 11 CHNW IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BASED ON INPUT PROVIDED BY COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERS, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LEADERSHIP WHO PARTICIPATED IN FOCUS GROUPS, STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS OR COMPLETED THE CHNA SURVEY THROUGHOUT THE CENTRAL INDIANA REGION. CHNA DATA WAS ANALYZED AND PRIORITIZED USING THESE KEY FACTORS: FEASIBILITY FOR OUR HOSPITALS TO IMPACT CHANGE, HEALTH SYSTEM EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD OF THE ASSESSED NEED, AND THE HOSPITALS ABILITY TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WITH THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE. THE FOUR SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ALL OUR COMMUNITIES WERE: ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE; OBESITY; PEDIATRIC ASTHMA AND COMMUNITY DRIVEN INITIATIVES. A MISSION CENTERED ON HELPING OTHERS IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING WE DO AT COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK - AND EXTENDS FROM THE CARE WE PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE THROUGH A BROAD SPECTRUM OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES OR PROGRAMS. OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT RESPONDS TO IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS AND MEETS AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: 1. IMPROVES ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES. 2. ENHANCES HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. 3. ADVANCES MEDICAL OR HEALTH KNOWLEDGE. 4. RELIEVES OR REDUCES THE BURDEN OF GOVERNMENT OR OTHER COMMUNITY EFFORTS. OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS ORGANIZED IN THREE CATEGORIES: CATEGORY 1: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE-FREE OR DISCOUNTED HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY AND WHO MEET THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS REPORTED IN TERMS OF COSTS, NOT CHARGES. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DOES NOT INCLUDE BAD DEBT. CATEGORY 2: GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED MEANS-TESTED HEALTH CARE-UNPAID COSTS OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS FOR LOW-INCOME PERSONS - THE SHORTFALL CREATED WHEN A FACILITY RECEIVES PAYMENTS THAT ARE LESS THAN THE COST OF CARING FOR PUBLIC PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES. THIS PAYMENT SHORTFALL IS NOT THE SAME AS A CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE, WHICH IS THE FULL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHARGES AND GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS. CATEGORY 3: COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES- PROGRAMS THAT RESPOND TO AN IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEED AND ARE DESIGNED TO ACCOMPLISH ONE OR MORE COMMUNITY BENEFIT OBJECTIVES; PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES DIRECTED TO OR INCLUDING AT-RISK PERSONS, SUCH AS UNDERINSURED AND UNINSURED PERSONS AND PROGRAMS OFFERED TO THE BROAD COMMUNITY (INCLUDING AT-RISK PERSONS) DESIGNED TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. HIGHLIGHTS FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES THAT ALIGN WITH THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS INCLUDES: ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE: COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK SUPPORTS THE JANE PAULEY COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER WHICH OPENED ITS DOORS IN SEPTEMBER 2009 TO PROVIDE PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES TO EASTSIDE RESIDENTS, REGARDLESS OF INCOME OR INSURANCE COVERAGE. WITH 16 LOCATIONS, THE CENTER SERVES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT OF WARREN TOWNSHIP, COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK FOUNDATION, IU SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY AND HANCOCK REGIONAL HOSPITAL. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON A DISCOUNTED BASIS BASED ON THE PATIENT'S HOUSEHOLD INCOME. EASTSIDE INDIANAPOLIS NATIVE AND FORMER NBC NEWS ANCHOR JANE PAULEY LENT HER NAME TO THE FACILITY AS AN ADVOCATE FOR ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR PEOPLE UNDERSERVED BY TRADITIONAL HEALTHCARE MODELS. THE CENTER OFFERS A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES INCLUDING PRIMARY HEALTHCARE, CASE MANAGEMENT, PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, WHILE ALSO FOCUSING ON THE MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASES. THE CENTER IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL OF THESE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK'S SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS COVER A WIDE RANGE OF NEEDS FOR YOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. ONSITE NURSES, THERAPISTS AND PHYSICIANS ADDRESS STUDENTS' NEEDS IN THE SCHOOL AND AFTER-SCHOOL SETTING, HELPING TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY IN CARE AND LESS TIME AWAY FROM THE CLASSROOM OR PLAYING FIELD. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY NURSING OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT, ARE OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE TO SCHOOLS THANKS TO COMMUNITY'S ON-GOING COMMITMENT TO ENHANCING HEALTH FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. FROM EVERYDAY SCRAPES AND BRUISES ON THE PLAYGROUND TO MANAGING CHRONIC ILLNESSES LIKE ASTHMA AND DIABETES, COMMUNITY NURSES OFFER SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AT MORE THAN 100 SCHOOLS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THEIR WORK ENSURED A 97.2 PERCENT RETURN TO CLASSROOM RATE FOR STUDENTS WHO CAME TO THEM FOR CARE IN 2017. SPECIFIC SERVICES OFFERED TO STUDENTS INCLUDE: 1. MANAGEMENT OF INJURIES REQUIRING FIRST AID; 2. MANAGEMENT OF LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGIES, ASTHMA, DIABETES AND SEIZURES; 3. MANAGEMENT OF ANY HEALTH CONCERN AND REFERRAL TO APPROPRIATE CARE WHEN NEEDED; AND 4. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO ANY HEALTH-RELATED CONCERN WITHIN THE SCHOOL BUILDING. IN ADDITION, FOR STUDENTS FACING CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND ONGOING HEALTH NEEDS, MEDICATIONS PRESCRIBED BY PHYSICIANS ARE ADMINISTERED BY COMMUNITY'S SCHOOL-BASED NURSING STAFF. IN THE INSTANCE OF OCCASIONAL MEDICATION NEEDS, PARENTS FURNISH OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS THAT ARE THEN ADMINISTERED BY NURSING STAFF. AND, FOR PREVENTATIVE CARE PURPOSES, NURSING STAFF ADMINISTER FLU VACCINES AT A NUMBER OF LOCAL CHARTER SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THE WELLNESS OF STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

THE ALLIANCE ASKED INDIANA'S STATE LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER A VARIETY OF MEASURES, INCLUDING HIGHER TOBACCO TAXES, AN INCREASE IN THE SMOKING AGE AND A REPEAL OF THE SMOKERS' BILL OF RIGHTS. COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK MADE A MAJOR INVESTMENT OF TIME AND RESOURCES INTO A COMBINED TOBACCO CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR, AND WHILE WE DID NOT GET THE TOBACCO TAX INCREASE WE SOUGHT, WE DID MOVE THE BALL FORWARD ON A TAX AND SECURE A PARTIAL VICTORY ON TOBACCO CESSATION FUNDING.

AND OTHER TAX-EXEMPT AFFILIATES OF THE NETWORK. PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS UTILIZED TO DETERMINE COSTS FOR LINES A THROUGH C IN THE TABLE. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2. LINES E THROUGH I OF THE TABLE ARE BASED ON ACTUAL INCURRED EXPENSES. PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO UTILIZED FOR PURPOSES OF REPORTING BAD DEBT COSTS WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 AND IS BASED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PART III, LINE 3 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE, PATIENTS ELIBIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS CALCULATED UTILIZING THE HISTORICAL LEVEL OF PATIENTS THAT WERE DETERMINED AS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON A PRESUMPTIVE ELIBIBILITY PROCESS AND APPLYING THIS RATIO TO THE REPORTED BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CHARITY CARE GUIDELINES, BUT WHO DID NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, IS CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES. PART III, LINE 4 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE EXPLANATION THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING TEXT WITHIN THE FOOTNOTES TO DESCRIBE BAD DEBT EXPENSE: THE NETWORK'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE NETWORK ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD PARTY COVERAGE, THE NETWORK ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS. GENERALLY, FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, INCLUDING PATIENT DEDUCTIBLES AND CO-INSURANCE, THE NETWORK RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES 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 ADJUSTED THROUGH THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. CERTAIN ACCOUNTS THAT ARE SENT TO COLLECTION COMPANIES REMAIN AS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ON THE BALANCE SHEET. THESE ACCOUNTS ARE NOT WRITTEN OFF UNLESS RETURNED FROM THE COLLECTION COMPANY. HOWEVER, THEY ARE FULLY RESERVED WITHIN THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE NETWORK RECOGNIZES PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR COVERAGE ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACTUAL RATES FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, THE NETWORK RECOGNIZES REVENUE ON THE BASIS OF ITS STANDARD RATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED OR ON THE BASIS OF DISCOUNTED RATES IF IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY. ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A PORTION OF THE NETWORK'S UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, THE NETWORK RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES AND DISCOUNTS RECOGNIZED IN THE PERIOD FROM THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES, IS AS FOLLOWS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016, RESPECTIVELY: THIRD PARTY PAYORS SELF-PAY TOTAL ALL PAYORS 2017 PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE(NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES AND DISCOUNTS) 2,297,067 69,582 2,366,649 ========== ======== ========== 2016 PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE(NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES AND DISCOUNTS) 2,100,098 80,151 2,180,249 ========== ======== ========== THE NETWORK MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THE NETWORK PROVIDES 100% CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS WHOSE INCOME LEVEL IS EQUAL TO OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. PATIENTS WITH INCOME LEVELS RANGING FROM 200% - 300% OF THE CURRENT YEAR'S FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL WILL QUALIFY FOR PARTIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINED BY A SLIDING SCALE. THE NETWORK USES COST AS THE MEASUREMENT BASIS FOR CHARITY CARE DISCLOSURE PURPOSES WITH THE COST BEING IDENTIFIED AS THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS OF PROVIDING THE CHARITY CARE. CHARITY CARE AT COST WAS 5,701000 AND 6,426000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016, RESPECTIVELY. CHARITY CARE COST WAS ESTIMATED ON THE APPLICATION OF THE ASSOCIATED COST-TO-CHARGE RATIOS. THE DECREASE IN CHARITY CARE IS THE RESULT OF MORE PATIENTS BEING COVERED UNDER HEALTH EXCHANGE PROGRAMS MANDATED BY THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT AND THE HEALTHY INDIANA PLAN 2.0. BEGINNING JUNE 2012, THE STATE OF INDIANA OFFERED VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION IN THE STATE OF INDIANA'S HOSPITAL ASSESSMENT FEE ("HAF") PROGRAM. THE STATE OF INDIANA IMPLEMENTED THIS PROGRAM TO UTILIZE SUPPLEMENTAL REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING REIMBURSEMENT TO PROVIDERS TO OFFSET A PORTION OF THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICAID AND INDIGENT PATIENTS. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED WITH INPUT FROM CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES AND IS FUNDED WITH A COMBINATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCES, INCLUDING FEES OR TAXES LEVIED ON THE PROVIDERS. THE NETWORK RECOGNIZES REVENUES AND RELATED FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE HAF PROGRAM IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH AMOUNTS ARE ESTIMABLE AND COLLECTION OF PAYMENT IS REASONABLY ASSURED. REIMBURSEMENT UNDER THE PROGRAM IS REFLECTED WITHIN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND THE FEES PAID FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE HAF PROGRAM ARE RECORDED IN SUPPLIES AND OTHER EXPENSES WITHIN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS. THE FEES AND REIMBURSEMENTS ARE SETTLED MONTHLY. REVENUE RECOGNIZED RELATED TO THE HAF PROGRAM WAS 104,425000 AND 91,018000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016, RESPECTIVELY. EXPENSE FOR FEES RELATED TO THE HAF PROGRAM WAS 53,997000 AND 40,623000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016, RESPECTIVELY. THE HAF PROGRAM RUNS ON AN ANNUAL CYCLE FROM JULY 1 TO JUNE 30 AND IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL JUNE 30, 2019. THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET INCLUDES LESS THAN ONE MONTH OF HAF ACTIVITY, OR 876000 IN ESTIMATED THIRD-PARTY PAYOR PAYABLE AT DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 3,470000 IN ESTIMATED THIRD-PARTY RECEIVABLE AT DECEMBER 31, 2016. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS ARE MADE AFTER THE NETWORK HAS ANALYZED HISTORICAL CASH COLLECTIONS AND CONSIDERED THE IMPACT OF ANY KNOWN MATERIAL EVENTS. UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN-OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AFTER EXHAUSTING COLLECTION EFFORTS. ANY SUBSEQUENT RECOVERIES ARE RECORDED AGAINST THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION PER THE 990 INSTRUCTIONS, THE MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL. HOWEVER, THE MEDICARE COST REPORT IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MEDICARE PROGRAMS SUCH AS PHYSICIAN SERVICES AND SERVICES BILLED VIA FREE STANDING CLINICS. FURTHER, THE MEDICARE COST REPORT EXCLUDES REVENUES AND COSTS OF MEDICARE PARTS C AND D. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL ATTRIBUTED TO THOSE AREAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT IS 40,469,726. AS SUCH, THE TOTAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL FOR ALL MEDICARE PROGRAMS IS 57,723,235. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE MEDICARE REPRESENTS 43.51% OF THE OVERALL PAYER MIX FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK, INC.
