| Desc | TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE TO PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. MERCY STRIVES TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT CLINICAL SERVICES ACROSS THE LIFE SPAN WITHIN A COMMUNITY OF COMPASSIONATE CARE. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER(MMC) HAS OVER 200 LICENSED BEDS.MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA) WHICH COMPRISES 17 ZIP CODES IN BALTIMORE CITY, ACCOUNTS FOR ALMOST 60% OF ITS TOTAL ADMISSIONS. THE KEY DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PSA ARE AS FOLLOWS: 62% OF THE POPULATION IS BLACK. 71% OF PATIENTS SERVED BY MMC ARE MEMBERS OF A RACIAL OR ETHNIC MINORITY. 52% ARE WOMEN. 10% OF THE POPULATION IS 65 YEAR IN AGE AND OLDER. 41% OF BALTIMORE CITY HOUSEHOLDS REPORTED A INCOME OF LESS THAN $25,000. THE PERCENTAGE OF FAMILIES LIVING IN MERCY'S CBSA THAT HAD INCOME THAT WAS BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL WAS GREATER COMPARED TO ALL FAMILIES IN BALTIMORE CITY (23.3% VS 19.1%). WITHIN THE HOSPITAL'S 17 ZIP CODES THAT COMPRISE THE PSA 23% OF FAMILIES LIVE BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL DEFINITION. DUE TO ITS LOCATION IN CENTER CITY, MMC CARES FOR MANY OF THE AT-RISK, LOW INCOME POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT IMMEDIATELY SURROUND THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS BEST EVIDENCED BY THE LARGE PERCENTAGE OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS BY MEDICAID, UNINSURED, AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. MEDICAID COVERED AND UNISURED PATIENTS ACCOUNTED FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS. IN FY 2016, AT A DIRECT COST TO THE HOSPITAL, THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM WAS UNDERTAKEN, WHICH PROVIDED A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE COUSELING SERVICES AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE LINKAGES TO NUMEROUS PATIENTS. MMC DELIVERED MORE BABIES,THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN BALTIMORE CITY IN FY 2016. OF THESE BABIES,A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE WERE OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT OR PREMATURE. MANY OF THE PATIENTS WHO DELIVERED BABIES AT MMC WERE EITHER MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES OR UNISURED/SELF PAY. THIS POPULATION IS ESPECIALLY LINKED WITH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AND PREMATURITY DUE TO POVERTY THAT CLOSELY RELATED TO UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLES, PARTICULARLY, POOR NUTRITITION AND INADEQUATE PRENATAL CARE. | Desc |

| PART V, SECTION A: | MERCY MEDICAL CENTER (MMC) IS A LICENCED HOSPITAL. MMC PROVIDES INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT AND EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES PRIMARILY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THE BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREA. |
| MERCY MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: MERCY MEDICAL CENTER TOOK INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITY, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF OR EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH, COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND LEADERS OR REPRESENTATIVES OF LOW INCOME AND UNDERSERVED GROUPS SERVED IN THE COMMUNITY. IN PARTICULAR, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER CONDUCTED IN-PERSON INTERVIEWS WITH LEADERS OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, ELECTED OFFICIALS, CHIEF EXECUTIVES OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINICS, FOUNDATION EXECUTIVES, ADVOCATES FOR THE HOMELESS AND ELDERLY, MINISTERS OF LOCAL CHURCHES, AND PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS (SUCH AS AN EXPERT ON AGING AND OLDER ADULT SERVICES IN THE BALTIMORE REGION, AN EXPERT RELATED TO PROVIDING HEALTH CARE ACCESS TO UNINSURED, AND PHYSICIAN LEADERS). |
| MERCY MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF MERCY'S COMMUNITY WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WHICH WAS COMPLETED AND PUBLISHED BEFORE JUNE 30, 2016. PRIOR TO 2013, MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT OUTREACH WAS FOCUSED ON A LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA WITHIN BALTIMORE CITY. THE HOSPITAL PRIMARY SERVICE AREA HISTORICALLY COVERED 17 ZIP CODES IN WHICH 60% OF ALL INPATIENT ADMISSIONS ORIGINATED. 15 OF THESE 17 ZIP CODES WERE PREVIOUSLY SELECTED AS MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA ("CBSA") BASED ON THE PREVALENCE AND CONCENTRATION OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS. WHILE APPROPRIATE AND WELL INTENTIONED, THE USE OF ZIP CODES AS THE BASIS FOR MERCY'S CBSA HAS PROVED CUMBERSOME FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:- ZIP CODES ARE BY NATURE LARGE. MERCY'S PREVIOUS CBSA COVERED ALMOST 70 SQUARE MILES WITHIN THE CITY-THE TOTAL LAND AREA IN BALTIMORE IS 81 SQUARE MILES. OTHER PEER HOSPITALS HAVE DESIGNATED A MUCH SMALLER CBSA FOOTPRINT THAT TENDS TO FOCUS ON THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD(S) IN WHICH THEY RESIDE.- A CONCENTRATION OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS (OR ANY OTHER VARIABLE) MAY ONLY EXIST IN A SMALL PORTION OF A ZIP CODE. YET THE ENTIRE ZIP CODE WAS BEING ADDED INTO OUR CBSA. - ACCESSIBLE, TIMELY, AND HIGH QUALITY COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILES HAVE ALREADY BEEN CREATED BY THE BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. BUT THESE COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILES ARE ORGANIZED BY MUCH SMALLER COMMUNITY STATISTICAL AREAS (CSAS), NOT ZIP CODES.- FINALLY, ZIP CODES ARE FACELESS, IMPERSONAL DESIGNATIONS THAT DO NOT CARRY THE SAME CONNECTION AND IMPACT AS A SPECIFICALLY NAMED COMMUNITY. MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE BELIEVES THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ATTENTION ON OUR NEIGHBORS IN "MIDTOWN OR "MT. VERNON", AND NOT "21202".DURING A SERIES OF MEETINGS, MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE DISCUSSED THE SOCIOECONOMIC AND HEALTH PARAMETERS THAT SHOULD HELP DEFINE MERCY'S "COMMUNITY" FOR PURPOSES OF THIS CHNA. THE SISTERS OF MERCY WERE ORIGINALLY FOUNDED IN DUBLIN, IRELAND TO CARE FOR HOMELESS, ABUSED AND NEGLECTED WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THIS TIMELESS LEGACY INFLUENCED THE COMMITTEE TO FOCUS ATTENTION ON CERTAIN TARGET POPULATIONS, SUCH AS INFANTS, WOMEN, AND THE IMPOVERISHED. WITH A STRONG DESIRE TO BE DATA-DRIVEN AND MISSION FOCUSED, THE COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED THREE RELEVANT FACTORS TO HELP SHAPE THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH MERCY WILL FOCUS ITS LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES AS PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS: - LOW BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES BORN AT MERCY- REPEAT EMERGENCY ROOM VISITORS (10+ VISITS IN ONE YEAR)- CHARITY CARE RECIPIENTSADDITIONALLY, SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW MARYLAND ALL-PAYER MODEL WHICH FOLLOWED THE COMPLETION OF MERCY'S 2013 CHNA, MERCY IS INCREASINGLY FOCUSED ON HIGH-UTILIZER PATIENTS, INCLUDING THOSE WITHIN OUR PREVIOUSLY-DEFINED CHNA COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA. AS EXPECTED, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT GEOGRAPHIC OVERLAP OF HIGH UTILIZER PATIENT ORIGIN AND OUR PREVIOUSLY-DEFINED CBSA, ESPECIALLY IN THE IMMEDIATE AREAS WHERE THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS RESIDE. THE SIMILARITY OF GEOGRAPHY PRESENTS AN ONGOING OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES AND MERCY'S FOCUSED POPULATION HEALTH INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE POTENTIALLY AVOIDABLE UTILIZATION AS IDENTIFIED IN MERCY'S HSCRC STRATEGIC HOSPITAL TRANSFORMATION PLAN. MERCY BELIEVES OUR POPULATION HEALTH STRATEGIES ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR CHNA FOCUS AREAS:- IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE AND THE FREQUENCY OF CARE FOR OUR HOMELESS NEIGHBORS.- IDENTIFYING TACTICS AND STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE BIRTH OUTCOMES AND PRE-NATAL CARE FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS.- FACILITATING BETTER CARE COORDINATION WITH THE CITY'S FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS.- PROVIDING SUPPORT TO VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE AND ADDICTION.- PROVIDING NARROWLY TAILORED HEALTH EDUCATION TO SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. |
| MERCY MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20E: THE HOSPITAL FACILITY OR AN AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY DID NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OF THE COLLECTION ACTIONS NOTED IN PART V, SECTION B, LINE 19 BEFORE MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE ANY PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. IN ORDER TO HELP DETERMINE PATIENTS' ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE HOSPITAL UNDERTAKES A NUMBER OF ACTIONS, INCLUDING NOTIFYING PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ON ADMISSION, NOTIFYING PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY PROIOR TO DISCHARGE, NOTIFYING PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE PATIENTS' BILLS, AND DOCUMENTING ITS DETERMINATION OF WHETHER PATIENTS WERE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. |
| MERCY MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 21D: THE HOSPITAL FACILITY PROVIDES A DISCOUNT OF AT LEAST 10% OFF OF GROSS CHARGES FOR THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. PURSUANT TO THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC) ALL-PAYOR SYSTEM FOR HOSPITALS IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND, THE GREATEST DISCOUNT OFF OF GROSS CHARGES FOR THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE PERMITTED TO ANY COMMERCIAL INSURER OR MEDICARE IS ONLY 6%. AS A RESULT, THE HOSPITAL FACILITY WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT CHARGED TO INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL FACILITY'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS NOT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT GENERALLY BILLED TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE INSURANCE COVERING SUCH CARE. |
| MERCY MEDICAL CENTER | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 23: THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT CHARGE ANY INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE GROSS CHARGES FOR ANY SERVICE. THE HOSPITAL USED THE CHARGEMASTER RATES FOR A SERVICE AS A STARTING POINT AGAINST WHICH REDUCTIONS ARE APPLIED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY BILLED TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. |

THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS CASE IS BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE OF INCOME AND SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED TABLE AND OTHER FACTORS. 4. A PATIENT WITH: (I) FAMILY INCOME AT OR BELOW 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL; (II) WITH MEDICAL DEBT INCURRED WITHIN THE 12 MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO APPLICATION THAT EXCEEDS 25% OF FAMILY INCOME FOR THE SAME PERIOD; AND (III) WITH LESS THAN $10,000 IN HOUSEHOLD MONETARY ASSETS WILL QUALIFY FOR PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS CASE IS BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE OF INCOME, AMOUNT OF MEDICAL DEBT, AND OTHER FACTORS. A) AN ELIGIBLE PATIENT OR ANY IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER OF THE PATIENT LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD SHALL REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE WHEN SEEKING SUBSEQUENT CARE AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER DURING THE 12-MONTH PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE DATE ON WHICH THE REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE WAS INITIALLY RECEIVED. B) TO AVOID AN UNNECESSARY DUPLICATION OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S DETERMINATIONS OF ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A PATIENT ELIGIBLE FOR CARE UNDER PARAGRAPH 4.A SHALL INFORM THE HOSPTIAL OF HIS OR HER ELIGIBILITY FOR THE REDUCED-COST MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. 5. AN UNINSURED PATIENT WITH FAMILY INCOME BETWEEN 200% AND 500% OF FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL WHO REQUESTS ASSISTANCE QUALIFIES FOR A PAYMENT PLAN. 6. A HOMELESS PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 7. A DECEASED PATIENT, WITH NO PERSON DESIGNATED AS DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL AFFAIRS, OR NO ESTATE NUMBER ON FILE AT THE APPICABLE REGISTRARS OF WILLS DEPARTMENT, QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 8.

FACTORS INCLUDE PROPENSITY TO PAY SCORING, ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION IN OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAMS, AND OTHER RELEVENT INFORMATION. 10. A PATIENT WHO DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE PRECEDING CATEGORIES MAY STILL APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND MERCY MEDICAL CENTER WILL REVIEW THE APPLICATION AND MAKE A DETERMINATION ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS AS TO ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FACTORS THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED INCLUDE: A) FIXED INCOME SUCH AS SOCIAL SECURITY, RETIREMENT OR DISABILITY WITH NO ADDITIONAL INCOME SOURCES AVAILABLE B) MEDICAL EXPENSES AND/OR C) EXPENSES RELATED TO NECESSITIES OF LIFE COMPARED TO INCOME. FOR ALL PURPOSES OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, "HOUSEHOLD MONETARY ASSETS" MEANS ASSETS THAT ARE CONVERTIBLE TO CASH. IN DETERMINING A PATIENT'S MONETARY ASSETS FOR PURPOSES OF MAKING AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION UNDER THIS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE FOLLOWING ASSETS ARE EXCLUDED; (1) THE FIRST $10,000 OF MONETARY ASSETS; (2) EQUITY OF $150,000 IN A PRIMARY RESIDENCE; AND (3) RETIREMENT ASSETS TO WHICH THE IRS HAS GRANTED PREFERENTIAL TAX TREATMENT AS A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, QUALIFIED AND NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO CALCULATE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN LINE 7 WAS A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES. |

THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION, (HSCRC) DETERMINES PAYMENT THROUGH A RATE SETTING PROCESS ALL PAYORS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS, PAY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE SAME SERVICES DELIVERED AT THE SAME HOSPITAL. MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL PAYOR SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR REFERENCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PAYORS' RATES, WHICH DOES NOT ENABLE MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BREAKOUT ANY OFFSETTING REVENUE RELATED TO UNCOMPENSATED CARE.7B. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID IS EXPLAINED IN THE FOLLOWING: MARYLAND'S REGULATORY SYSTEM CREATES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR HOSPITAL PAYMENT THAT DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF THE NATION. THE HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION, (HSCRC) DETERMINES PAYMENT THROUGH A RATE SETTING PROCESS ALL PAYORS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL PAYORS, PAY THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE SAME SERVICES DELIVERED AT THE SAME HOSPITAL. MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL PAYOR SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR REFERENCING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PAYORS' RATES, WHICH DOES NOT ENABLE MARYLAND HOSPITALS TO BREAKOUT ANY DIRECTED OFFSETTING REVENUE RELATED TO UNCOMPENSATED CARE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO MEDICAID REVENUES IN MARYLAND, AS SUCH, THE NET EFFECT IS ZERO. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE IMPACT ON THE HOSPITAL OF ITS SHARE OF THE MEDICAID ASSESSMENT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS CLOSED FISCAL GAPS IN THE STATE MEDICAID BUDGET BY ASSESSING HOSPITALS THROUGH THE RATE SETTING SYSTEM. FOR FY 2016 MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S SHARE OF THE MEDICAID ASSESSMENT WAS $1,783,533. |
| PART I, LINE 6A | COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS MADE AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER'S WEBSITE, SPECIFICALLY THE WEBSITE FOR THE MARYLAND HSCRC. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER PREPARES ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT ANNUALLY AND ITS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | THE AMOUNT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON PART III, LINE 2 WAS DETERMINED USING ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS LESS RECOVERIES RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR AND AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BALANCE SHEET RESERVE. WRITE OFFS WERE AT CHARGE LEVEL.THE ORGANIZATION HAS NOT ESTIMATED ANY AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBE THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE ACTUAL TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE HAS NOT BEEN USED BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION IS A MEMBER OF A GROUP WITH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES AND ALLOWANCESNET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED. THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARGES ARE BASED ON RATES ESTABLISHED BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION; ACCORDINGLY, REVENUE REFLECTS ACTUAL CHARGES TO PATIENTS BASED ON RATES IN EFFECT DURING THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE SERVICES ARE RENDERED.CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMOUNTS BILLED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND AMOUNTS ALLOWED BY THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, AND ARE ACCRUED IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED.THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS. THIS ESTIMATE CONSIDERS BUSINESS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON ITS REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND COLLECTIONS TO DATE. OTHER FACTORS, SUCH AS PAYER MIX, ACCOUNT AGING, APPROVED DISCOUNTS, DENIAL RATES, AND PAYMENT CYCLES ARE CONSIDERED WHEN ESTIMATING THE ALLOWANCES. THE RESULTS OF THESE ASSESSMENTS ARE USED TO DETERMINE THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS AND TO ESTIMATE AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS XESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING ITS SELF-PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WITH AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. AFTER COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE EXHAUSTED, THE UNCOLLECTED BALANCES ARE RETURNED TO BE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, NOR DID IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE OFFS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE COSTING SOURCE IS THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND THE METHODOLOGY IS MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COST TO MEDICARE REVENUES RECEIVED. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | ONCE THE COLLECTION PROCESS HAS BEGUN, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO MONITOR WHETHER THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. IF THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES THAT A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, INCLUDING ONCE THE COLLECTION PROCESS HAS BEGUN, THE ORGANIZATION WILL APPROVE THE PATIENT FOR CHARITY CARE. ONCE CHARITY CARE HAS BEEN APPROVED, THERE IS NO FURTHER ATTEMPT MADE BY THE ORGNANIZATION TO COLLECT. COLLECTION EFFORTS WILL BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. FURTHERMORE, IF A PATIENT'S FINANCIAL SITUATION CHANGES AT ANY POINT DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS, THE PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT SUCH POINT. PATIENTS DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF SERVICE MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND OF PAYMENTS MADE IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE PATIENT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND OF PAYMENTS MADE IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE PATIENT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. |
| PART VI, LINE 2: | MERCY MEDICAL CENTER GENERALLY EMPLOYS A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH IN IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THESE APPROACHES ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1.AS PART OF THE QUANTITATIVE DATA GATHERING PROCESS FOR THE 2016 CHNA, MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE MEMBERS WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE BALTIMORE NEIGHBORHOOD INDICATORS ALLIANCE-JACOB FRANCE INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE (BNIA-JFI). BNIA-JFI IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE CORE MISSION IS TO PROVIDE OPEN ACCESS TO MEANINGFUL, RELIABLE, AND ACTIONABLE DATA ABOUT, AND FOR, THE CITY OF BALTIMORE AND ITS COMMUNITIES. BNIA-JFI BUILDS ON AND COORDINATES THE RELATED WORK OF CITYWIDE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, CITY AND STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, NEIGHBORHOODS, FOUNDATIONS, BUSINESSES, AND UNIVERSITIES TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE PRINCIPLE AND PRACTICE OF WELL INFORMED DECISION MAKING FOR CHANGE TOWARD STRONG NEIGHBORHOODS, IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE, AND A THRIVING CITY. BNIA-JFI IS ALSO A PARTNER MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD INDICATORS PARTNERSHIP OF THE URBAN INSTITUTE (NNIP). NNIP IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BY THE URBAN INSTITUTE AND NEARLY 40 LOCAL PARTNERS TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF NEIGHBORHOOD-LEVEL INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN LOCAL POLICYMAKING AND COMMUNITY BUILDING. BNIA-JFI PROVIDED TO MERCY' COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE A BROAD ARRAY OF NEIGHBORHOOD DATA INDICATORS THAT PROVIDE ALL OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES PRESENT IN MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA INCLUDING BARRIERS TO ACCESSING CARE, TO PREVENT ILLNESS, TO ENSURE ADEQUATE NUTRITION, OR TO ADDRESS SOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITY. INCORPORATED INTO BNIA-JFI'S NEIGHBORHOOD-LEVEL SOCIOECONOMIC DATASETS ARE INDIVIDUAL NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH PROFILES COMPLETED BY THE BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND UPDATED IN MARCH 2012. THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH PROFILES EXAMINE AT THE UNDERLYING FACTORS THAT AFFECT HEALTH IN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD-THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH RESIDENTS LIVE, LEARN, WORK, AND PLAY, AND INCLUDE FACTORS LIKE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD, HEALTHY HOUSING, QUALITY SCHOOLS, AND SAFE PLACES TO BE ACTIVE. THE NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH PROFILES PRESENT HEALTH OUTCOME INFORMATION AT THE COMMUNITY STATISTICAL AREA (CSA) LEVEL IN BALTIMORE CITY IN ORDER TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY-LEVEL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE THE HEALTHY BALTIMORE 2015 PLAN, THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC HEALTH AGENDA TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN BALTIMORE. THE BALTIMORE CITY'S OFFICE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY UTILIZED RIGOROUS RESEARCH METHODS AND SURVEY ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES TO AGGREGATE ALL THE DATA TO THE COMMUNITY STATISTICAL AREA (CSA) LEVEL. THE USE OF THE MOST RECENTLY AVAILABLE NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH PROFILE INFORMATION FROM THE BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ENSURES THAT THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER REMAIN ALIGNED WITH THE CURRENT HEALTH PRIORITIES OF THE CITY. DATA SOURCES INCLUDE A VARIETY OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SOURCES SUCH AS: THE U.S. CENSUS, THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, THE VITAL STATISTICS ADMINISTRATION AT THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE, THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS, THE BALTIMORE CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS SYSTEM, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, THE BALTIMORE CITY HOUSING DEPARTMENT, THE BALTIMORE CITY COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, THE BALTIMORE CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT, THE BALTIMORE CITY REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DATABASE, THE BALTIMORE CITY LIQUOR BOARD, THE BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, CENTER FOR A LIVABLE FUTURE, AND THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION ACCESSES AND REVIEWS OTHER STATE OF MARYLANDHEALTH CARE DATA BASES RELATED TO HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF COMMUNITIES THATMERCY MEDICAL CENTER SERVES IN ITS PSA.FURTHERMORE, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER REVIEWS PUBLICATIONS AND DATA AVAILABLEFROM ORGANIZATIONS IN WHICH MERCY MEDICAL CENTER PHYSICIAN ANDADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS AND MEMBERS SUCH ASB'MORE FOR HEALTHY BABIES, JOURNEY HOME, FAMILY CRISIS CENTER OFBALTIMORE, AND BALTIMORE HOMELESS SERVICES, AMOUNG OTHERS. 2. PARTNERSHIPS, WORKGROUPS, AND MEMBERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH THE WORKGROUPS AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED WITH KEY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS, BALTIMORE HOMELESS SERVICES, THE WEINBERG HOUSING AND RESOURCE CENTER, MAYOR'S OFFICE ON EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, SEX AND FAMILY CRIMES DIVISION OF THE BALTIMORE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, TURN AROUND HOUSE OF RUTH, FAMILY CRISIS CENTER OF BALTIMORE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COORDINATING COUNCIL, B'MORE FOR HEALTHY BABIES AND FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS OF BALTIMORE, THE HOSPITAL RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT INPUT AND FEEDBACK ON THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF ITS IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES. THIS WAS ACHIEVED THROUGH REGULAR MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS THROUGHOUT FY16. THROUGH PARTICIPATION OF THE HOSPITAL'S EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM IN BUSINESS FORUMS SUCH AS THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP IN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, SIGNIFICANT FEEDBACK AND INFORMATION ON HEALTH CARE NEEDS AND GAPS WAS ALSO GATHERED.3. MERCY HEALTH SERVICES MISSION AND CORPORATE ETHICS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETS REGULARLY TO REVIEW AND COORDINATE ISSUES RELATED TO MISSION INTEGRATION AND COORDINATION. THIS BOARD COMMITTEE IS INFORMED AND CLEARLY UNDERSTANDS THE SCOPE AND DEPTH OF THE HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INITIATIVES.IN SUMMARY, THROUGH A QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS BASED ON REVIEW OF CURRENT DATA SOURCES AND ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN SEVERAL COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE AND PRIORITIZE ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS FOCUS.IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING APPROACHES REGULARLY FOLLOWED BY MERCYMEDICAL CENTER, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER CONDUCTED ITS SECOND COMMUNITY HEALTHNEEDS ASSESSMENT, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH UNDERINTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(3) AND THE GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY IRSNOTICE 2011-52, DURING ITS 2016 TAX YEAR. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER WILL DIRECTITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS PLANNING TOWARDS ADDRESSING THOSE COMMUNITYHEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT INACCORDANCE WITH ITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. |

| PART VI, LINE 4: | LOCATED IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER DRAWS PATIENTS FROM THE GREATER BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREA FOR ITS LONGSTANDING TRADITION OF COMPASSIONATE CARE, COMMITMENT TO QUALIFY AND PATIENT SAFETY, AS WELL AS ITS PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALIST PHYSICIANS.MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA ("PSA") WHICH COMPRISES 17 ZIP CODES IN BALTIMORE CITY, ACCOUNTS FOR 60% OF ITS TOTAL ADMISSIONS. KEY DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PSA ARE AS FOLLOWS:POPULATION1. THE CHNA SERVICE AREA (CBSA) POPULATION IS 186,653, REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 30% OF BALTIMORE CITY'S TOTAL POPULATION.2. THE PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLDS EARNING LESS THAN $25,000 IS DRAMATICALLY HIGHER THAN THE CITYWIDE PERCENTAGE (41.0% VS 33.2%). CONVERSELY, THERE ARE FAR FEWER HOUSEHOLDS EARNING MORE THAN $75,000 WITHIN MERCY'S CNHA SERVICE AREA THAN CITYWIDE (22.7% VS 25.5%).3. UNEMPLOYMENT WITHIN MERCY'S CNHA SERVICE AREA IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN CITYWIDE (10.3% VS 9.9%). PERHAPS MORE THAN ANY OTHER DATASET INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT, THIS DEMONSTRATES MERCY'S LONG-STANDING SPECIAL COMMITMENT TO SERVE THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED. ETHNICITY AND AGE1. 61.6% BLACK; 28.9% CAUCASIAN IN CBSA. 2. APPROXIMATELY 71.1% OF PATIENTS SERVED BY MERCY MEDICAL CENTER AREMEMBERS OF A RACIAL OR ETHNIC MINIORITIES; 52.2% ARE WOMEN 3. 10.2% OF THE POPULATION IS 65 YEARS IN AGE OR OLDERINCOME1. 41.0% OF CBSA HOUSEHOLDS REPORTED AN INCOME OF LESS THAN $25,000. 2. THE PERCENTAGE OF FAMILIES LIVING IN MERCY'S CBSA THAT HAD INCOME THATWAS BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL WAS GREATER COMPARED TO ALL FAMILIES IN BALTIMORE CITY (23.3% VS 19.1%). MORTALITYOF NOTE, THE MAJOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN PART VI, QUESTION 5 "PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH" DIRECTLY ADDRESS KEY HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION IN MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA.1. AGE ADJUSTED DEATHS PER 10,000 RESIDENTS: 128.0 VS BALTIMORE RATE OF 110.82. % OF POTENTIALLY AVERTABLE DEATHS: 46.6 VS BALTIMORE RATE OF 36.23. TEEN BIRTH RATE PER 1,000: 98.7 VS BALTIMORE RATE OF 65.44. LOW BIRTH WEIGHT: 12.7% VS BALTIMORE RATE OF 13.0%AS SHOWN BY THESE SELECT INDICATORS, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH STATUS DIPARITY BETWEEN MERCY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA (CBSA) AND BALTIMORE CITY'S RESIDENTS.DUE TO ITS LOCATION IN CENTER CITY, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER CARES FOR MANY OF THE AT-RISK, LOW INCOME POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT IMMEDIATELY SURROUND THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS BEST EVIDENCED BY THE LARGE PERCENTAGE OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS BY THE MEDICAID, UNINSURED AND MEDICARE PATIENTS.MEDICAID COVERED AND UNINSURED PATIENTS ACCOUNTED FOR MORE THAN 60% OF THE FY16 EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS. THERE ARE A COUPLE NOTABLE REASONS FOR SUCH A HIGH MEDICAID AND UNINSURED PATIENT POPULATION VISITING THE EMERGENCY ROOM:1. BALTIMORE CITY'S LARGEST HOMELESS SHELTER AT GUILFORD AVENUE IS WITHIN THREE BLOCKS OF THE HOSPITAL.2. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES ALL OF THE MEDICAL STAFF (PHYSICIANS AND NURSING PERSONNEL) FOR HEALTHCARE FOR THE HOMELESS (HCH), A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, WHICH DELIVERS OUTPATIENT CARE TO A LARGE NUMBER OF HOMELESS PERSONS IN BALTIMORE CITY. THE HCH CLINIC IS LOCATED THREE BLOCKS FROM THE HOSPITAL. |

THE PROGRAM'S GOAL IS TO HOUSE HOMELESS FAMILIES AND TO PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR A DEFINED PERIOD TO PREVENT A RETURN TO HOMELESSNESS. IN FY 2016, THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM AT MERCY PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF COUNSELING SERVICES AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES LINKAGES TO PATIENTS. THESE SERVICES INCURRED DIRECT COSTS OF $390,356 DURING FY 2016.MERCY FAMILY VIOLENCE RESPONSE PROGRAMTHE MERCY FAMILY VIOLENCE RESPONSE PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY STAFF TASK FORCE AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER TO PROVIDE CRISIS INTERVENTION AND SAFETY PLANNING FOR VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE, ELDER AND VULNERABLE ADULT ABUSE) AND SEXUAL ASSAULT WHO COME TO MERCY MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS PHYSICIANS FOR TREATMENT.THIS PROGRAM IMPROVES BALTIMORE'S COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE, AND CREATES AN ALERT WORKFORCE AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER, SKILLED AT IDENTIFYING AND RESPONDING TO VICTIMS OF FAMILY VIOLENCE.DUE TO ITS LOCATION WITHIN THREE BLOCKS OF THE CITY'S LARGEST HOMELSS SHELTER AT GUILFORD AVENUE AND CLOSE PROXIMITY TO HCH, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S ER RECEIVES MANY VISITS FROM HOMELESS PERSONS. WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN PROVIDING EMERGENT AND URGENT CARE TO POOR AND HOMELESS POPULATIONS, THE HOSPITAL HAS ESTABLISHED KEY SERVICES FOR THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:A FULL TIME SOCIAL WORKER IS A PART OF THE ER TEAM TO COORDINATE CARE AND OTHER SERVICES FOR HOMELESS PATIENTS WHO ARRIVE AT THE ER.ER PHYSICIANS AND NURSES MAKE VISITS TO BALTIMORE CITY SHELTERS TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES:1.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE PREVENTIONTHE FORENSIC NURSE EXAMINER PROGRAM (FNE) IS HOUSED AT THE HOSPITAL'S ER AND PROVIDES 24/7 CARE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL, DOMESTIC, CHILD, ELDER AND INSTITUTIONAL VIOLENCE. FORENSIC NURSES PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE FORENSIC MEDICAL INTERVIEWS, MEDICAL ASSESSMENTS, AND EVIDENCE COLLECTION, AND ASSURE CRISIS INTERVENTION TO AN EVER INCREASING VOLUME OF UNDERSERVED PATIENTS.DURING FY 2016, THE FNE PROGRAM CONDUCTED 461 EXAMINATIONS AND IS THE DESIGNATED SITE FOR PATIENTS IN BALTIMORE CITY.LOW BIRTH WEIGHT PROGRAM - DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICSMERCY MEDICAL CENTER DELIVERED MORE BABIES, 3,127, THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN BALTIMORE CITY IN FY 2016. LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AND PREMATURITY ARE INTERTWINED AND CORRELATED. AS CITED IN QUESTION #2, LOW BIRTH WEIGHT IS A KEY HEALTH STATUS INDICATOR THAT IS MEASURED AND TRACKED BY BALTIMORE CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH THAT MUST BE DECREASED IN INCIDENCE.THE HOSPITAL HAS TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE THROUGH ITS ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN "B'MORE FOR HEALTHLY BABIES", A LONG TERM INITIATIVE LED BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND MANAGED BY BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO REDUCE THE INCIDENTS OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. DR ROBERT ATLAS, CHAIRMAN OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY, HAS A LEADERSHIP ROLE WITHIN THIS WORKGROUP. THE GOALS OF "B'MORE FOR HEALTHY BABIES" ARE REDUCTION IN THE FOLLOWING:1. RATE OF PRE-TERM BIRTHS BY AT LEAST 10%2. RATE OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS BY AT LEAST 10%3. THE NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM UNSAFE SLEEP BY AT LEAST 10%OF NOTE 74.6% OF THE BABIES CARED FOR IN MERCY MEDICAL CENTER'S NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT WERE EITHER MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES OR UNINSURED/SELF PAY. THIS POPULATION IS ESPECIALLY LINKED WITH LOW BIRTH RATE AND PREMATURITY DUE TO POVERTY THAT CLOSELY RELATES TO UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLES, PARTICULARLY POOR NUTRITION AND INADEQUATE PRENATAL CARE.IN ORDER TO ENSURE 24/7 COVERAGE FOR ITS OBSTETRICAL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDED $982,524 IN PHYSICIAN SUBSIDY FOR THIS SPECIALTY.DETERMINING THE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY TO BE ADDRESSEDSINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING TO HSCRC, MERCYMEDICAL CENTER HAS CONSISTENTLY RANKED AMOUNG THE TOP QUARTILE OFHOSPITALS IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND IN TERMS OF THE PERCENTAGE OF OPERATINGEXPENSE DEVOTED TO COMMUNITY NEEDS PROGRAMS.ACCESS TO CARE FOR AT-RISK, UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS HAS LONG BEEN A CORNERSTONE MISSION FOR MERCY MEDICAL CENTER. MAJOR PROGRAMS TO SERVE THIS NEED INCLUDE OUR FUNDING OF DIRECT PHYSICIAN CHARITY CARE ACROSS ALL SPECIALTIES AND THE PHARMACY CHARITY FUND TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED AND UNABLE TO PAY. IN ADDITION, THE FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS OF BALTIMORE (FCHB) IS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC), WHICH RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE HOSPITAL. FCHB, WITH A CLINIC LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE MERCY CAMPUS, LARGELY SERVES THE MEDICAID AND UNINSURED POPULATIONS IN SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. BASED UPON PRIOR NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, MERCY MEDICAL CENTER IDENTIFIED THREE KEY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR "MISSION DRIVEN HEALTH SERVICES" IN FY 2016: THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS:HOMELESSNESS: THE NEED TO RESPOND TO AND ACTIVELY SUPPORT THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL NEEDS OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE THE HOMELESS POPULATION OF BALTIMORE.EMERGENCY SERVICES: AS PROVIDED THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, GIVEN THE LARGE PERCENTAGE OF POOR AND UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO ACCESS THIS SERVICE.LOW BIRTH WEIGHT: MERCY MEDICAL CENTER DELIVERS MORE BABIES TO WOMEN AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LINE THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN BALTIMORE. A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE (>10%) OF THESE BIRTHS ARE PREMATURE AND OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT.ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE INTERTWINED AS THEY SHARE A COMMON THREAD IN THAT ALL UNDERSERVED AND POOR POPULATIONS OF BALTIMORE ARE THE PRIMARY RECIPIENTS OF MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY MERCY MEDICAL CENTER ON AND OFF ITS CAMPUS.HOMELESSNESSTHE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAS GROWN STEADILY OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS IN BALTIMORE AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NATION. THIS NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO RISE GIVEN THE DETERIORATING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY THAT CAUSE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, LOSS OF HOMES, REDUCED FEDERAL ASSISTANCE TO MEDICAID AND OTHER SAFETY NET PROGRAMS. BALTIMORE'S HOMELESS POPULATION EXTENDS GREATLY BEYOND THOSE WHO CAN FIND BEDS IN CITY AND OTHER NONPROFIT RUN SHELTERS. MERCY MEDICAL CENTER IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE HOMELESS POPULATION THROUGH THREE AREAS.HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESSHEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS (HCH) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1985 AND PROVIDES ADULT, PEDIATRIC, AND GERIATRIC MEDICAL CARE, DENTAL CARE, MENTAL HEALTH, HIV SERVICES, SOCIAL WORK AND CASE MANAGEMENT, ADDICTION TREATMENT, OUTREACH, PRISON RE-ENTRY, SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, AND ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT.SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1985 (A 28-YEAR PARTNERSHIP), MERCY MEDICAL CENTER HAS DIRECTLY EMPLOYED AND PROVIDED ALL OF THE PHYSICIAN AND NURSING STAFF TO HCH FOR MEDICAL SERVICES.
