      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 8: The shortfall of Medicare revenue to Medicare was calculated according to the cost to charge ratio. Allowable costs of care should be considered community benefit because in the area served by VMC, there are no other providers available to provide the required services. Therefore, the care would become a government obligation and is treated as a community benefit provided by VMC.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 9b: Recommended patient accounts will continue to go through the accounts receivable billing cycle as normal. When the account reaches the customer service/collections manager, financial counseling supervisor or patient accounts supervisor, based on the information given, a decision will be made whether to proceed with collection or refer the account for approval of charity care. The process will occur as follows: I. Financial counselors will try to locate third party payors. If not eligible for any third party coverage (including charities), they may, based upon the financial information received, recommend the patient for charity care. II. Patient counselors will review for any third party payors and verify employment and assets. A charity care application will need to be completed along with tax return, pay stubs, social security award letter and other financial information as may be required. III. The patient accounts supervisor, financial counseling supervisor or customer service/collections manager, based upon account balance and the information given, will make a decision whether to proceed with collection or refer the patient account for approval for charity care.Presumptive eligibility for charity care - there are occasions in which a patient may appear eligible for a charity care discount, but there is no financial assistance information available to support financial aid. A. Some patients are presumed to be eligible for charity care discounts on the basis of individual life circumstances (e.g., homelessness, patients with no income, bankruptcy, deceased patients with no estate or spouse, etc). B. Through the assistance of a third party vendor and certain algorithms, in conjuction with our charity policy guidelines, all accounts, prior to outside collection agency referral, will be tested for presumptive charity. C. The accounts deemed charity will be adjusted off and the remaining accounts will be referred to an outside collection agency. D. Once the agency has had the accounts for six months and has deemed them uncollectible, the accounts with balances of $1,200 or greater will remain with the agency and be kept on the patient's credit file. E. The accounts returned to the hospital will be placed in a unique financial class and will not be pursued for collections.</Explanation>

        <Identifier>Procedure for Monitoring Grants in the U.S.:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part I, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: Primary oversight responsibility for all grants received by UHS organizations rests with the entity receiving the funds. Each entity is responsible for documenting the receipt of funds, assigning a cost center to track expenses and/or creating a restricted liability for deposit of the funds, documenting expenditures and completing all grantor required reporting. The compliance with the terms of the agreement related to project implementation and management, fund expenditures and reporting is monitored by the granting agency's designated contact person with assistance from the UHS grants office. Note: The majority of the grant funds received for programs at VMC are acquired through the PMH Foundation which has a compliance audit completed each year. Grant funds for UHS are sent to the UHS Foundation and have the same audit procedures. All grant funds are recorded/monitored by the Corporate Accountant and the Assistant Vice President of Financial Services. Selection Criteria/Process Grants provided by the UHS and PMH Foundations require the applicant to be a 501(c)(3) or government entity and recipients are required to provide proof of their status by submitting a copy of their IRS Letter of Determination. Requests must be related to disease prevention and disease management or wellness. There are different health related focus areas for each of the hospital's community benefits grant programs. Each hospital's program has their own local Community Benefits Grants Review Committee comprised of local representatives from their respective communities. These committees review letters of intent, decide which organizations are to be invited to submit a grant application, then review the grant applications and make funding recommendations. Their funding recommendations are then reviewed by the UHS Foundation Community Benefits Committee and final decisions are confirmed by the UHS Foundation Board.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Overview of University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina, D.B.A Vidant Health ("VH") At Vidant Health ("VH"), we are committed to improving the health of our communities. Eastern North Carolina residents look to our hospitals for quality health care. We work hard to uphold the trust that our communities place in us. Through a clear vision, disciplined leadership and committed employees, VH serves the needs of the region, including those who are underserved and need us the most. Our mission at VH - to enhance the quality of life for the people and communities we serve, touch and support - drives us far beyond caring for patients within the confines of our hospital walls. It calls us to help make Eastern North Carolina a better, healthier place to live. VH is a North Carolina non-profit corporation with headquarters in Greenville, North Carolina. VH and its affiliates operate an integrated health care delivery system that serves a total market of approximately 1.4 million people in 29 contiguous counties in Eastern North Carolina. The health system includes hospitals, physician practices, outpatient services, long-term care, home health, hospice, and wellness services. The health system's owned hospitals are Vidant Medical Center ("VMC"), which is a tertiary care hospital and an academic medical center, and eight other acute care hospitals; Vidant Roanoke-Chowan Hospital, Vidant Edgecombe Hospital, Vidant Chowan Hospital, Vidant Bertie Hospital, Vidant Duplin Hospital, Vidant Beaufort Hospital, Vidant Pungo Hospital and the Outer Banks Hospital. VH also manages Albemarle Hospital. VMC serves as the teaching hospital for the Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina Schools of Nursing and Allied Health and Pitt Community College. The system also serves as a regional referral center for Eastern North Carolina. The system's nine owned acute care hospitals are licensed to operate 1,488 beds. Each hospital is licensed by the division of facility services of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and approved as a provider by the Medicare and Medicaid programs. VH and its hospitals and affiliate organizations provide services to patients without regard to their ability to pay. In fiscal year 2013 VH combined patient care statistics were: inpatient admissions, 67,383; inpatient days of care, 353,862; surgeries, 46,802; births, 5,911; and outpatient visits, 486,429. Our system's workforce included 12,561 employees. Each of VH's hospitals operates an emergency room, which is open 24 hours a day. VMC also offers a full spectrum of trauma services. Emergency and trauma services are provided to patients without regard to their ability to pay. In fiscal year 2013 VH provided care to 273,073 emergency room patients. VH's Board of Directors consists of 11 voting members, six of whom must be current or former Pitt County, North Carolina appointees of VMC's Board of Trustees and five of whom must be current or former Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina appointees of VMC's Board of Trustees. VMC, in affiliation with the Brody School of Medicine, which is owned by the state of North Carolina, operates 30 resident-training programs with over 400 medical residents. This relationship enables VMC and the Brody School of Medicine to combine their resources for the provision of quality patient care, medical education and research for the residents of Eastern North Carolina. The Brody School of Medicine has three important goals: educating primary care physicians, making medical care more readily available to the people of Eastern North Carolina, and providing opportunities to minority and disadvantaged students. As a non-profit organization, VH reinvests all excess of revenues over expenses in programs, services, and facilities that provide access to patient care and health services to the citizens of Eastern Carolina. Overview of Vidant Health Company Benefit Programs: 1. Eastern North Carolina is comprised of 1.4 million people living in 14,000 square miles. Boundaries are from I-95 east to the coast, and from the Virginia line up to and including Onslow County. The area is largely rural and largely poor, with higher than state or national average rates for poverty and uninsured. Health status indicators show increased incidence of disease in the region, especially cancer, heart disease and stroke. VH determines priorities for target populations by working in concert with medical and community agency partners in ongoing assessment of the most pressing health care needs. Many efforts over the past decade have focused on diabetes, pediatric asthma, school health, injury prevention, access to care, nutrition enhancement, physical activities and chronic disease screenings. Also, special programs to manage the care of Medicaid enrollees, address access to both medical care and medications for the uninsured, and coordination of services for children with obesity have been undertaken. The populations that are served by addressing these issues are largely the poor, the underserved, and minorities. Determination of specific populations to address occurs when partners such as the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, local health departments, county Healthy Carolinian task forces, and physicians identify a quantifiable need, and community partners are engaged to work together with the health system. 2. Funding for community health programs is obtained from both the operating funds of VH entities and external grant-awarding organizations. The VH board annually provides financial support for the community benefit initiatives program of its foundation. These funds are then awarded to community agencies that successfully demonstrate both need and a well-designed plan to address one of the foundation's priority categories. In addition, each VH hospital financially supports community health resources within its operating budget. Programs vary according to the hospital's financial ability and community need, but all include collaborative efforts with local health departments, including health screenings and education to targeted populations. VH also has a successful track record of obtaining community health program support from external agencies that award grant funding to approve projects. The VH grants office was established in 2008 and serves as the central point from grant mining, acquisition and management of grants awarded to VH hospitals from community-based programs. Grant funds are utilized to demonstrate the effectiveness of a proposed community program, measure the outcomes achieved, and garner long-term sustainability from either the health system, other community agencies or as a collaborative program. Many community health programs are collaborative in nature with local service agencies, and often a portion of the grant funds are used to support resources or services in these agencies. 3. Community health priorities are determined in several ways. In partnership with the local health departments, the results of state-mandated community health assessments are studied by each local Healthy Carolinians task force. Those task force groups then compile a list of the most pressing issues in their communities based on data community input. Both established resources within various agencies and potential opportunities to garner new support are reviewed.</Explanation>
      </GeneralExplanation>
      <GeneralExplanation>
        <Explanation>4. Community priorities are also established in response to a compelling need identified by health practitioners or community groups. Examples include the pediatric asthma program that has been in place for over 10 years in Pitt County, and expanded to other communities in the region. This major community-based program was established following a plea for assistance by pediatricians and pediatric clinical nurse specialists caring for children with asthma in the acute care setting. The Pitt County School system and local parents identified a lack of health care support in the schools, resulting in an award-winning school nurse program that has been replicated in several counties. Most recently, the focused attention on pediatric obesity and associated diseases has resulted in multiple community-based programs directed at improving nutrition, physical activity, and case management for that population. VH is fortunate to have a strong collaborative partnership with East Carolina University, and works closely with the schools within the health sciences division, especially the Brody School of Medicine. BSOM is an active participant in almost every community health initiative, supporting the research and evaluation of these programs, and contributes to programs for the under and uninsured in multiple ways. ECU and other educational institutions whose students matriculate through VH facilities also provide opportunities for collaboration and participation in various community health initiatives. 5. Provided below are a few highlights of the community benefit and education activities: a. Community Health Improvement Services - Community health improvement services are programs and services that meet an identified need and are offered to the community at little or no charge. VH hospitals sponsor programs that improve access to health care for the underserved and enhance the identification and management of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Here are a few examples of these programs: - Medication assistance programs for uninsured patients - The Pediatric Healthy Weight Program - Support for Healthy Carolinians collobaratives, including Pitt Partners for Health, the Hertford Partnership for Health and Three Rivers Healthy Carolinians. - School nurse programs - Support for the Community Care Plan of Eastern Carolina for Medicaid recipients and HealthAssist for the uninsured - Support of local Federally Qualified Health Center b. Health Professional Education - preparing future health care professionals is important to us. Our hospitals provide clinical settings for students of health professions, such as future physicians, nurses and other allied health professionals. We also support students through deferred forgivable loans and internships including resident training, nursing clinic sites, allied health professionals, and financial support of nursing programs. c. Research - East Carolina University (ECU) conducts research to evaluate new treatments and protocols. These studies help health professionals everywhere provide quality care to patients. VH supports this through various means including supporting the institutional review board at ECU and providing study sites. d. Financial and In-Kind Contributions - VH donates money and in-kind services to community groups and activities that share our mission of improving health. They include Meals on Wheels, American Red Cross blood drives, medical supplies to emergency medical services, and free medication to qualifying patients. VH hospitals are key partners in fundraising for organizations such as the United Way, American Heart Association, Juvenile Diabetes Association and the American Cancer Society. VH contributed $1.0 million to the Community Benefits Grants Program which awards grants to local non-profits for health related programs. e. Community Building - Community-building activities include programs that are not directly related to health care but address underlying issues that impact the health of communities. Poverty, crime, homelessness, workforce development and economic development all affect the overall health of communities. VH has provided support for our local Chambers of Commerce, financial support for road improvements, investments in communication infrastructure via information technology connections, support for the teen leadership academy, recruitment of physicians to our rural communities, and programs that encourage students to pursue health careers.</Explanation>
