PART X, LINE 2: THE ALLIANCE IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE ALLIANCE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A PUBLICLY-SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION THAT IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER SECTION 509(A) OF THE CODE.

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 47,255. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: DUE TO MEDICAID REDESIGN IN NYS, BEGINNING IN 2012, CARE COORDINATION SERVICES HAVE SHIFTED TO A "HEALTH HOME" MODEL. THE NEW MODEL PAYS A PER PATIENT, PER MONTH RATE. HEALTH HOMES' SERVICES ENGAGE PERSONS WITH CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING HIV/AIDS, AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE OUT-OF-CARE TO FACILITATE ENROLLMENT IN PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE CARE SERVICES, AND FOLLOW THE PATIENT TO ENSURE THEIR MEDICAL AND SUPPORT NEEDS ARE ADDRESSED. DURING THE TRANSITION PHASE OF HEALTH HOME IMPLEMENTATION, THERE IS AN ENHANCED PER PATIENT, PER MONTH RATE THAT HAS RESULTED IN A SURPLUS FOR THE HEALTH HOME PROGRAM. THIS RATE WILL DECREASE IN UPCOMING PERIODS, AND IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE FUTURE RATE MAY NOT FULLY SUPPORT THE LEVEL OF SERVICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY PROVIDED. IN THE 2014-15 FISCAL YEAR, THE ALLIANCE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DESIGNATED $250,000 OF THE SURPLUS FOR FUTURE HEALTH HOME NEEDS AND POTENTIAL FUTURE DEFICITS AS THE PROGRAM EVOLVES AND STABILIZES OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
