Community Health Needs AssessmentAs part of the community health needs assessment ("CHNA"), five focus groups were held (one at each of the five hospitals). These focus groups included meetings with 32 key informants in the community, including members of the hospitals' Community Advisory Councils and other community leaders. A list of recommended participants for the focus groups was provided by Meridian Health System. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the populations with whom they work, as well as of the community overall. Focus group candidates were first contacted by letter to request their participation. Follow-up phone calls were then made to ascertain whether or not they would be able to attend. Confirmation calls were placed the day before the groups were scheduled to insure they would have a reasonable turnout. Final participation rates are segmented in the following table.

SCHEDULE H, PART V; SECTION BFinancial Assistance Policy, Question 12i Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, Riverview Medical Center, Southern Ocean Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital ("the Hospitals") exist to benefit our communities by promoting good health, healing, caring and comforting. The Hospitals are proud of THEIR not-for-profit public mission to provide quality care to all in need 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Hospitals seek ways of fulfilling our moral, ethical, and legal obligations to ensure that everyone gets the care they need regardless of ability to pay. To successfully provide this assistance, we ask that patients actively cooperate with us. The Hospitals assist patients in obtaining financial assistance from public programs and other sources whenever appropriate. To remain viable as it fulfills its mission, the Hospitals must meet its fiduciary responsibility to appropriately bill and collect for medical services provided to patients. The purpose of the Hospitals' Financial Assistance Policy is to provide general guidelines to assure reasonable collection of accounts from all available sources and to recognize as soon as possible when an individual requires assistance and/or that an account may qualify for free care, uncompensated care or as bad debt. It is also intended to ensure that the Hospitals comply with applicable state and federal requirements as well as those set forth in the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. The Hospitals must charge for services rendered. The exact charges will depend on the extent of the services rendered by the patients' physicians and clinical team. Some examples of this include but are not limited to: Blood work, Diagnostic Testing, MRI, CT Scan, Endoscopy, Biopsies, Pathology, and Surgery. We understand and appreciate how overwhelming it can be to deal with health issues and billing issues at the same time, particularly confusing medical bills and insurance details. We strive to make this process as easy as possible for our patients by inviting patients to call our Patient Accounts Department directly at 732-776-4380 if they have questions or if they need assistance, either while still as a patient or after they have returned home. A complete bill will be mailed to the patient. However, private room costs and insurance deductibles are due at the time of admission, and can be paid at the Admitting Department which is open 24 hours a day. If the patient does not have coverage with an insurance provider, we will contact them to determine eligibility for financial assistance and to make payment arrangements. Separate Billing ---------------- Under federal law, certain services cannot be included in a hospital bill. Therefore, the patient will receive separate physician bills for each service rendered by the following: Anesthesiology; Cardiology; EEG; EKG Emergency Physicians; House Staff Psychiatry; Nuclear Medicine; Pathology; Pulmonary Function Department; Radiology (films and interpretations); Surgical Assistants; and Speech Therapy. These physician fees are for professional services rendered and/or interpretation of studies performed, and any questions regarding them should be addressed directly to those physician offices. In addition, if a house staff physician treats a patient for a situation that arises when their own physician is not available, they will be billed directly by that physician. The charges will not appear on the hospital bill. Patients should submit any such bills to their insurance provider or make arrangements for payment directly with the physician. Surgical Patients ----------------- In major surgical cases, it is mandatory to have a second qualified surgeon or surgeons available to assist the attending surgeon. Its purpose is to ensure the quality and safety of complex procedures. Traditionally, the cost of an assisting surgeon or surgeons was included in your hospital bill. Today, however, the Federal Tax Equity and Responsibility Act (TEFRA) does not allow such an inclusion, so the patient will receive a separate bill from the assisting surgeon or surgeons and are expected to pay for the services rendered by them. Insurance companies are familiar with this practice and should include the assisting surgeon or surgeons for payment, if it is an included benefit. These bills should be forwarded to the patient's insurance provider. Insurance Limitations --------------------- Under Medicare, Medicaid, and other third-party regulations, only certain levels of care may be covered by the Hospitals. Insurance benefits may be discontinued if a patient's physician or Health Care Quality Strategies, Inc. (HQSI), decides that further care is not medically necessary. The patient may be held personally responsible for any non-covered services. It is the patient's responsibility to provide us with accurate information about their insurance (Medicaid, Medicare, Managed Medicaid) so that the insurance can be billed correctly. If patients don't have insurance or their insurance doesn't cover all of the costs, there are federal and state sources of financial assistance that may be available to them. Eligibility requirements and the application process may be different depending upon the program. Financial Assistance Representatives are available to discuss what the best plan is for the patient. When patients meet with our Financial Assistance Representatives, he/she will provide a detailed list of what they will need. We specialize in the five major programs that are available to help New Jersey residents. Eligibility for these programs is dependent on the New Jersey State income and assets. Income thresholds are based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) issued each year in the Federal Register by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The 2013 income and asset levels can be found at http://www.state.nj.us/health/cc/documents/ccfactsh.pdf MEDICAID -------- The Hospitals have contracted with a nationwide vendor, Century Business Services (CBIZ), to assist our patients who meet the eligibility criteria with the application process. There are many types of Medicaid available through the NJ Department of Health. CBIZ works with our patients to determine the program best suited for their circumstances. SSI - MEDICAID -------------- This is a program that supplements Medicaid benefits with a monthly income stipend that can help with basic needs such as food, clothing, or housing. The Hospitals have partnered with Chamberlin Edmonds and Century Business Solutions (CBIZ), who specialize in screening patients to determine eligibility for government disability programs, to be onsite to assist inpatients and certain outpatients who meet the eligibility criteria with the application process. Chamberlin Edmonds and CBIZ work in conjunction with Meriidan's Patient Access staff to complete and submit applications for uninsured patients and to provide patient advocacy throughout the entire life of the application. Some programs, such as Social Security disability programs, not only entitle patients to Medicaid or Medicare after a waiting period, but also provide monthly benefits such as cash assistance, food stamps, and home energy payment relief to these patients. As a result of this partnership, in 2013, over 2,000 accounts were converted into a Medicaid program. 76% of these households assisted at Meridian Health System were eligible to apply for food stamps via NJ SNAP, 74% were eligible for Low Income Heating and Energy Program, and 14% of patients were eligible for supplemental monthly cash benefits including Social Security Income resulting in an estimated $580,850 in payments to SSI Medicaid approved patients. This is just one of the ways Meridian is helping our community. FAMILY CARE ----------- This program is designed to provide coverage for children. The Hospitals' Financial Assistance Team will assist patients in completing the application. The application is then forwarded to the County Board of Social Services or the State vendor in Trenton for processing. The patient will hear directly from the processing agency regarding the status of their application. PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY - MEDICAID ---------------------------------- This program provides temporary coverage for persons who meet some basic eligibility criteria so that their health care costs can be covered while the formal Medicaid or Family Care application is processed. It provides 45 days of coverage from the initial date of the application. It is the patient's responsibility to complete the charity care documents and submit them to the Financial Assistance Office. Patients are to notify the registration team member when they have been approved for any service such as Charity Care or Medicaid. Patients who are not covered by insurance and do not qualify for Financial Assistance will be asked to pay an upfront reduced rate for any ancillary services that are needed. These fees are

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3CNOT APPLICABLE. THE ORGANIZATION USES FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6AMERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION AND the ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990, PREPARE AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE: WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM. AT MERIDIAN HEALTH, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE CARE WE PROVIDE THROUGH OUR HOSPITALS AND PARTNER COMPANIES REACHES FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR FACILITIES. OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS AT THE HEART OF OUR CHARITABLE ROOTS. IN THIS NEW ERA OF HEALTH CARE REFORM, COMMUNITY BASED PREVENTION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN KEEPING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES HEALTHY AND KEEPING HEALTH CARE COSTS DOWN. MERIDIAN REMAINS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING ITS MISSION AND IN 2013 DEVOTED MORE THAN $114 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN ADDITION, AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III THE ORGANIZATION INCURRED BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $17.9 MILLION ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND INCURRED MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $21.3 MILLION WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MERIDIAN'S 2013 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM OR BY REQUEST THROUGH ANY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $76,480,460; THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION. MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION USEs THE SIEMENS COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM TO DETERMINE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS. A LEVEL OF COST METHODOLOGIES ARE APPLIED IN ORDER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRST LEVEL IS THE DIRECT ASSIGNMENT METHODOLOGY (I.E., NURSING FLOORS); THE SECOND LEVEL IS THE RELATIVE VALUE UNIT METHODOLOGY, USING MEDICARE'S NATIONAL RVUS (I.E., EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, RADIOLOGY, LAB); AND THE THIRD LEVEL IS THE RATIO COST TO CHARGE METHODOLOGY (I.E., DRUGS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES). INDIRECT COSTS FOR SUPPORT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES ARE CALCULATED USING THE MEDICARE STEP-DOWN PRINCIPLES.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 2Accounts that reach the end of the self pay billing cycle without payments or financial assistance approval are transferred to bad debt. Uninsured patient charges are discounted 65%. Balances after insurance; such as deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance are not discounted. Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Through the financial assistance program, all self pay patients are interviewed. The amount reflected on line 3 represents those that are not compliant with documentation requirements and those who cannot be contacted, such as the homeless or patients who give erroneous information. Patients non-eligible becasue they are over income limits are not included. The patients that fall into this category have no means of paying their bill. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDER'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM the FINANCIAL STATEMENT, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990 FOR WHICH THIS SCHEDULE H IS BEING FILED, MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION, RECEIVEs AN AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION. COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THE PROCESS FOR ESTIMATING THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGMENTS. THE CORPORATION HAS IMPLEMENTED A MONTHLY STANDARDIZED APPROACH TO ESTIMATE AND REVIEW THE COLLECTABILITY OF RECEIVABLES BASED ON THE PAYOR CLASSIFICATION AND THE PERIOD FROM WHICH THE RECEIVABLES HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING. ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE WHEN MANAGEMENT FEELS IT IS PROBABLE THE RECEIVABLE WILL NOT BE RECOVERED. HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND PAYOR REIMBURSEMENT EXPERIENCE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ESTIMATION PROCESS RELATED TO RESERVES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION ASSESSES THE CURRENT STATE OF ITS BILLING FUNCTIONS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY KNOWN COLLECTION OR REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES AND ASSESS THE IMPACT, IF ANY, ON RESERVE ESTIMATES. THE CORPORATION BELIEVES THAT THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS RECEIVABLES IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE QUALITY OF ITS BILLING PROCESSES, MOST NOTABLY THOSE RELATED TO OBTAINING THE CORRECT INFORMATION IN ORDER TO BILL EFFECTIVELY FOR THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES. REVISIONS IN RESERVE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS ESTIMATES ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE. CHARITY CARE THE CORPORATION PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA DEFINED BY THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE CORPORATION MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THESE RECORDS INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOREGONE FOR SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED. THE CORPORATION RECEIVES PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE UNCOMPENSATED CARE IT PROVIDES. OF THE CORPORATION'S $1.2 BILLION AND $1.2 BILLION OF TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED FOR 2013 AND 2012 RESPECTIVELY, AN ESTIMATED COST OF $62,820,000 AND $57,587,000 FOR 2013 AND 2012 RESPECTIVELY IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PROVIDING SERVICES TO CHARITY PATIENTS. THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF PROVIDING CHARITY SERVICES ARE BASED ON A CALCULATION WHICH APPLIES A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES TO THE GROSS UNCOMPENSATED CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CARE TO CHARITY PATIENTS. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE CORPORATION'S TOTAL EXPENSES, EXCLUDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE, DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. MERIDIAN UTILIZED A COST TO CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY IN CALCULATING THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III. MERIDIAN RETAINED THE SERVICES OF AN OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO ACQUIRE DOCUMENTATION FROM NON-COMPLIANT CHARITY CARE PATIENTS. THE CONSULTANT DETERMINES AND RECORDS, AT GROSS CHARGES, THE AMOUNT OF THE NON-COMPLIANT CHARITY CARE PATIENTS FOR WHICH THEY DO NOT RECEIVE ANY DOCUMENTATION. MERIDIAN APPLIES ITS COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO THE GROSS CHARGE AMOUNT DOCUMENTED BY THE CONSULTANT TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT DISCLOSED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2013 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS SHOULD BE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). AMERICAN HOSPITALS ASSOCIATION "AHA" REPORT ON COMMUNITY BENEFIT - APRIL 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Improving the health of their communities is at the heart of every hospitals mission. For two consecutive years, the American Hospital Association (AHA) has collected the community benefit information that tax-exempt hospitals file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) On Schedule H, and asked Ernst & Young to analyze and report on it. Schedule H forms were obtained directly from MORE THAN 900 hospitals AROUND THE NATION that filed them with IRS. Hospitals provide benefits to their communities in a multitude of ways. They not only provide financial assistance and absorb underpayments from means-tested government programs such as Medicaid, but also incur losses due to unreimbursed Medicare expenses and bad debt expenses that are attributable to charity care. In addition, they offer programs and activities to fund community health improvement programs, underwrite health professions education, conduct medical research, subsidize certain health services, and make cash and in-kind contributions to community groups. In 2010, 74 percent of participating hospitals and systems reported having Medicare shortfalls, which compares with 75 percent in 2009. Medicare reimbursement shortfalls occur when the Federal government reimburses the hospitals less than their costs for treating Medicare patients. Most hospitals described why their Medicare shortfall should be treated as community benefit: - They explained on their Schedule H forms that non-negotiable Medicare rates are sometimes out-of-line with the true costs of treating Medicare patients. - By continuing to treat patients eligible for Medicare, hospitals alleviate the federal government's burden for directly providing medical services. The IRS recently acknowledged that lessening the government burden associated with providing Medicare benefits is a charitable purpose [IRS Notice 2011-20]. - Additionally, many hospitals pointed to IRS Rev. Rul. 69-545 in their explanation of Medicare shortfall as a community benefit. IRS Rev. Rul. 69-545 states that if a hospital serves patients with government health benefits, including Medicare, then this is an indication that the hospital operates to promote the health of the community. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. DESPITE THE HOSPITALS' BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL INVESTS SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN SYSTEMS AND STAFF TRAINING TO ASSIST PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9BMERIDIAN HANDLES ALL COLLECTION OF DEBT IN THE SAME FASHION REGARDLESS OF TYPE OF PAYER. MERIDIAN UTILIZES THE FAIR ISAAC BAD DEBT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ITS COLLECTION PRACTICES. MERIDIAN ALSO ROUTINELY REFERS UNPAID PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO VARIOUS COLLECTION AGENCIES WHEN THE ACCOUNTS HAVE AGED AND ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. BELOW IS THE PROCESS FOR THE COLLECTION OF BAD DEBT: - Current Accounts Receivable that reach the end of the self pay billing cycle without payment or financial assistance approval are transferred to bad debt. - ACCOUNTS OVER $25,000 ARE APPROVED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES. - Reasonable efforts are made to determine Financial Assistance Program eligibility. This includes notification to the individual, written notice describing additional information/documentation required to complete a determination, including a plain-language summary of the Financial Assistance Program, and written notice at least 30 days before completion deadline, describing extraordinary actions that may be taken if application is not completed by the deadline. - Primary bad debt collection agencies work the accounts for 180 days. - Accounts that remain unpaid at the end of the 180 days are automatically reassigned to a secondary agency for an additional 180 days. - Primary and secondary agencies do not pursue legal action on accounts. - Secondary agency placement accounts that remain unpaid after 180 days are referred to attorneys. - Attorneys can engage in extraordinary collection actions. - Extraordinary collection actions are suspended if the patient submits a financial assistance application. - The hospitals continue to accept and process any financial assistance application for up to 18 months after the original date of service. - If the patient meets the eligibility requirements, any payments paid by the patient are refunded to the patient.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2IN ADDITION TO THE BELOW, PLEASE ALSO REFER TO OUR RESPONSES IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, QUESTIONS 1 THROUGH 8. Tuned in to Community Health ---------------------------- Providing the community with access to reliable health information, opportunities to participate in health promotion activities and support for managing chronic conditions are central to the goal of improving community health and well-being. Our brand promise of providing the best health care experience, whether within the walls of our facilities or out in our surrounding communities, is delivered by a committed staff of physicians, nurses, health care specialists, and community educators, along with dedicated community members who help Meridian identify, strategize, and implement initiatives that positively impact the health of the community. Meridian Health played a lead role in working with many different organizations throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties to identify and address the health issues that impact our community the most. This collaborative effort, referred to as a Community Health Needs Assessment. The Community Health Needs Assessment and its findings are posted on Meridians Web site @ www.meridianhealth.com. Findings from the assessment highlighted several health concerns for our community, including: risk factors for heart disease and stroke, cancer, pediatric asthma, Alzheimers disease, obesity and diabetes, access to care, immunizations and infectious diseases, and oral health. With the Community Health Needs Assessment as our guide, Meridian prepares its annual community benefits plan, part of Meridians overall strategic plan, aligning activities and resources toward those priority health needs, as well as engaging a variety of community organizations for collaboration on interventions. Each hospital, as well as Shore Rehabilitation Institute, has prepared an implementation strategy that contains the specific programs and resources that are deployed against each health concern. Community Advisory Committees ----------------------------- Meridian convenes several Community Advisory Committees whose mission is to assist us in identifying and addressing local health care needs. Over 150 committee members represent a cross-section of the community in terms of age, gender, religion, ethnicity, interests, and professional status. Our Partners in Health and Unidos committees are comprised of African American and Hispanic civic and community leaders, respectively, and are focused on addressing health issues and disparities affecting those communities. All the Ways We Support the Community ------------------------------------- In 2013, Meridian devoted more than $189 million toward community benefits. An estimated 100,000 community members participate in health promotion activities each year. These programs include: preventive health screenings, support groups, and health awareness events, as well as lectures and presentations by physicians and other health care professionals who volunteer their time to educate our community. These programs are delivered in a culturally competent manner to targeted communities with available language interpreters as needed. Some of these health promotion activities include: -Providing nearly 40,000 preventive health screenings, including: AngioScreen(tm) stroke risk assessments, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, BMI, memory, hearing, vision, colorectal cancer, skin cancer, and more. Participants receive individualized testing from medical professionals and are counseled by nurse educators who provide information about their results and referrals for follow-up care when necessary. -Educating over 13,000 children on how to eat right, stay fit, be safe, and act responsibly. These programs include classroom-based presentations from Doctor Bernard, Hopscotch, and Picatso - mascots for K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Other programs include: SafeSitter with CPR babysitting training, asthma awareness and management, injury prevention programs, distracted driving, sports and concussion injury prevention, among others. -Managing chronic disease. Take Control of Your Health is an evidence-based chronic disease self-management program. Complementing a physicians plan of care, this educational program provides participants with the tools, resources and support to live a healthier life. Studies have shown that participants who completed the training report improved health status and quality of life, greater energy, fewer social limitations, as well as reduced hospitalizations and fewer emergency room visits. -Providing opportunities to learn. Educational programs are made available at our hospitals as well as a variety of accessible community locations, including: senior centers and active adult communities, places of worship, libraries, schools and employers. Led by physicians and other health care professionals, these programs address a wide variety of health issues and diseases with a focus on preventing disease and managing chronic conditions. In addition, Meridian is proud to offer support through charitable donations to a host of local, not-for-profit organizations. Meridian also encourages our leaders, physicians, and team members to serve on boards and community groups dedicated to improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods. In 2013, Meridian provided $360,000 in cash and in-kind support. Creating a Community of LifeSavers ---------------------------------- Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time, including our youth. In fact, the American Heart Association estimates that there are approximately 100 student athlete fatalities each year from sudden cardiac arrest. While the incidence remains low, the impact on families and the surrounding community is devastating. Thats why Meridian Health has partnered with the American Heart Association in a landmark, multi-year initiative to create a Community of LifeSavers. When ordinary people are equipped with the skills to perform CPR, survival rates can double or even triple. This is Taking Care of New Jerseys children. Our goal is to train at least 5,000 high school students in the first year, as well as equip schools with the skills and tools that will enable them to carry out this important training and assist with compliance for Janets Law; a law which requires public schools to have automated external defibrillators for youth athletic events and to establish certain plans related to sudden cardiac arrest events. Take the Church Challenge ------------------------- Together, heart disease and stroke are among the most widespread and costly health problems facing the nation and our communities today. Fortunately, they are also among the most preventable. Meridian aims to tackle the growing problem of stroke by teaching local residents to take charge of their health, especially within the African American community, where there is a higher incidence of stroke. In the Church Challenge, local congregations compete against one another to see which group can improve its health the most. Meridian assesses members weight, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, and other lifestyle habits during the challenge, which includes smoking. Members also attend programs that teach them how to make long-lasting changes to their health. In its first year, 150 people from four congregations participated in the Challenge. Results were encouraging as members lost weight, quit smoking, improved their diet, and began to exercise. Training the Next Generation of Health Care Providers ----------------------------------------------------- Training the next generation of health care providers is vital to providing a foundation for sound health in our community. Meridian encourages the development of physicians, nurses, medical technologists, and those entering allied health professions by supporting their education and offering clinical experience in our hospitals. In 2013, Meridian provided $27 million in benefits, which supports medical training. Caring for All Members of the Community --------------------------------------- As a not-for-profit health care provider, Meridian Health is the regional leader in providing innovative and accessible health care programs and services to individuals, families, and communities throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties. Everyone deserves access to quality care regardless of their ability to pay. In 2013, Meridian provided $159 million in charity care and other uncompensated care, serving as a health care safety net for our communitys most vulnerable populations. In addition, Meridian dedicated $1.4 million in subsidizing vital health services, such as outpatient dialysis, behavioral health services, and family health clinics. Staying Connected ----------------- Meridian regularly publishes two free consumer magazines HealthViews and KidViews to educate and inform residents of Monmouth and Ocean c

CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSMeridians vision and foresight since its inception has created a comprehensive full continuum of care that is a model in the health care industry. By providing integrated services every step of the way, we ensure that our patients receive coordinated and seamless care from diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation. The following updates demonstrate how we are tuned into the changing health care environment and remain committed to the optimal health and wellness of those we serve. Maintaining a Strong Beat Through Meridian CardioVascular Network ----------------------------------------------------------------- Meridian CardioVascular Network provides the most comprehensive heart and vascular services in the region. Its an overarching umbrella coordinating all aspects of heart and vascular care from research and education to diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation and post-hospital care. Meridian became the only health care system in New Jersey to receive the highest designated Chest Pain Center Accreditation by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC), distinguishing itself by providing the best care available for patients who present with symptoms of a heart attack. The accreditation was received after each of Meridians five hospitals successfully met stringent SCPC criteria, and verifies that Meridian CardioVascular Network provides a seamless, coordinated approach to cardiovascular care, which ensures the best outcomes for our patients. Several other areas of distinction were earned throughout the year, including: Heart Failure Accreditation by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care for Jersey Shore, Ocean and Riverview Medical Centers; three-star quality designation by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons for cardiac surgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center; Get with the Guidelines Heart Failure Gold Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association for Jersey Shore; Lifeline Silver Quality Achievement Award by the American Heart Association for Riverview Medical Center; and distinction for Jersey Shore as one of only a handful of hospitals around the country performing the FDA-approved LARIAT(TM) Suture Delivery Device procedure. In 2013, Meridian continued its 365 Days of Heart campaign with engaging programs and services that brought increased attention to critical topics in cardiac and vascular health. Creative initiatives such as the Meridian Health Heart and Sole Cup reached experienced and novice athletes through a series of three 5K races in Monmouth and Ocean counties. More than 1,000 community members participated in the 2013 races, a significant milestone for this annual event. Fighting and Surviving With Meridian Cancer Care ------------------------------------------------ From the beginning, decisions about cancer treatment can be overwhelming for patients and their families. To help patients get back to the life and people they love, Meridian Cancer Care offers every medical advantage through the collaboration of dedicated specialists and a unique multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. This proactive approach to cancer treatment results in comprehensive, coordinated care throughout all Meridians hospitals, and the first and only "System Partner" of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, Meridians patient-oriented approach provides opportunities for both state-of-the-art care and research trials. In 2013, Xofigo became a new treatment option offered at Ocean Medical Center for men who have been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Recently approved by the FDA and offered at a handful of community hospitals in the United States, this intravenous injection treats metastatic prostate cancer that is resistant to medical or surgical treatments, offering an increase in the patients life expectancy and improving quality of life. Big Care for Little Patients Through Meridian Pediatric Network --------------------------------------------------------------- Meridian Pediatric Network continues addressing and meeting the needs of our youngest patients and their families. In addition to providing access to more than 100 pediatric specialists and the full continuum of care for children in Monmouth and Ocean counties, enhanced services and programs keep the network evolving. Two brand new Pediatric Care Centers at Southern Ocean Medical Center and Ocean Medical Center were opened and provide a new care environment and guest experience for children and their parents. The Pawsitive Action Team, a team of characters from K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, was introduced in 2008 as a fun and memorable way to educate children about making healthy choices. Since that time, over 50,000 children have been taught to eat right, stay fit, be safe and act responsibly. The Pawsitive Action team includes: Doctor Bernard, the director of Fun and Good Health at K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital; Hopscotch, Doctor Bernard's bouncy buddy who's always on the move; and Picatso, Doctor Bernard's furry pal who keeps his mind healthy and strong through learning and creativity. Mind Matters at Meridian Neuroscience ------------------------------------- With 15 neurosurgeons on staff, Meridian continues to be among the states largest neuroscience programs. Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the only stroke rescue center in the region, performing advanced endovascular neurosurgery (1 of 13 in New Jersey). Illness or injury can happen at any time, and having an exceptional team of specialists available for life changing moments is critical. Thanks to Meridian Neuroscience, programs and services are close to home and available to diagnose and treat a range of conditions such as stroke, brain tumors, spine injuries, epilepsy, movement and memory disorders, and even sleep disorders. Meridians facilities continue their focus on excellence in neuroscience, as demonstrated by the following accomplishments throughout the year: Jersey Shore, Riverview and Ocean medical centers received the Gold Plus Performance Award from the American Heart Association (AHA)/American Stroke Association (ASA); and the Target Stroke Award from AHA/ASA and Joint Commission recertification as a primary stroke center was granted to Riverview Medical Center and Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Harry Carson, Hall of Famer and former New York Giant, continues to be the spokesperson for Meridian Neuroscience. Harry writes a monthly blog that can be viewed at MeridianHealth.com/HarryCarson. Online Appointments Help Patients Manage Their Health ----------------------------------------------------- In todays digital world, patients are constantly in search of new and better ways to manage their health, let alone their busy lives. Meridian Health Resources introduced a new service - ZocDoc instant online appointment scheduling which provides access to 95 of Meridians primary care, OB/GYN, and Ear, Nose and Throat physicians. Patients can utilize their computers, tablets, or mobile devices to use this free service and schedule appointments in the same manner they are accustomed to making restaurant and airline reservations. In its first few months, nearly 3,000 appointments were made with participating Meridian physicians. ZocDoc offers patients the opportunity to easily manage their care while better meeting their access and convenience expectations. Convenient Care, After Hours ---------------------------- Providing the right level of care, at the right time, are key elements that led Meridian and Ocean Medical Center to pilot a new service called AfterHours. Designed to offer a quick and convenient health care solution for non-emergent health needs, AfterHours locations were opened in Toms River in November 2013 and in Brick in March 2014. The model utilizes a nurse practitioner to treat patients of all ages during nights, weekends, and holidays. This new service creates enhanced access to after-hours care for patients with non-life threatening needs, while providing an option for physicians burdened by on-call demands. AfterHours is part of a larger strategy to improve access to care, which will include the development of Meridian Urgent Care sites in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Lighting the Shore After Superstorm Sandy ----------------------------------------- Hundreds of team members gathered in Jersey Shores Kurr Atrium to "Light the Shore" a year after Superstorm Sandy, to remember the fortitude and compassion that unified us, and to reflect on our communities continuing journey toward a brighter future. The event featured New Jersey Health Commissioner Mary E. ODowd, who spoke about the great partnership the Department had with Meridian during the storm. What Women Want --------------- As the primary health care decision makers for their families, women look for resources that are credible, accessible, and can deliver on "whats in it for me?" With that in mind, Mer
CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSMeridian Health Village at Jackson Offers One-Stop Access --------------------------------------------------------- Meridian Health created a revolutionary concept that will lead the way for health care delivery in the future with the Meridian Health Village at Jackson. The new 150,000 square-foot facility brings experienced clinicians, medical services, and a world-class fitness center close to home in a modern facility that combines elegant design and old-world charm. This state-of-the-art medical facility is a "one-stop shop" designed to offer both private health care services and services that are traditionally limited to locations within hospitals all under one roof in an easily accessible environment. Physician practices include pediatrics, internal medicine, family care, ob/gyn and womens services. As more components of the health village are added, community members will have access to cardiac diagnostic and rehab services, physical therapy, ambulatory surgery, pharmacy, diagnostic laboratory, and a conference center.

CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSOcean Medical Center -------------------- Improving Access to Care ------------------------ As we work towards helping the population better manage their health, Ocean Medical Center achieved several milestones that are focused on providing easier and earlier access to care. The launch of two AfterHours sites now offers local residents a convenient place to get health care during evenings and weekends, with locations in Toms River and Brick. This new service creates enhanced access to after-hours care for patients with non-life threatening needs, and avoids unnecessary visits to the Emergency Department. For those patients with true emergencies, the opening of the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Emergency Care Center established a new environment of care based upon tranquility, comfort, privacy and efficiency. This $82 million project tripled the footprint of the Center, increasing from 12,075 square feet to 44,300 square feet, featuring 49 large private emergency bays, a Pediatric Care Center with eight bays in a private observation area, and dedicated Emergency Behavioral Health and Express Care areas. This helps Ocean better meet current and projected patient demand, which is expected to increase with population aging and more residents acquiring health insurance through reform. Likewise, as health reform increases the need for primary care physicians (PCP) to manage an individuals health and wellness, Ocean successfully recruited 16 new PCPs for its service area. Surgical Services Expansion, Excellence --------------------------------------- Several new surgical services were introduced at Ocean Medical Center in 2013. Early in the year, cardiac services were expanded when a pacemaker program was introduced, providing a critical service at a very local level for community members. By mid-year, Ocean implemented a bariatric surgery program, where experienced experts perform gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass surgeries for patients seeking surgical weight loss solutions. And, at the end of the year, Ocean acquired the daVinci Si Surgical System, adding the newest robotic technology for surgery to the medical centers robust services. These new services build upon a comprehensive surgical services program that has a keen focus on quality. In fact, Ocean was named one of the top four hospitals in New Jersey for surgical excellence in Consumer Reports magazine in 2013. Imaging Excellence Across All Modalities ---------------------------------------- With more than 143,000 imaging procedures performed, Ocean Medical Center earned the elite status of being accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) in all nine modalities, the only hospital in Ocean and Monmouth counties to achieve such an accomplishment in 2013. The breast MRI accreditation at Ocean completed the spectrum of ACR accreditations that an imaging facility can earn, with other modalities including breast ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), mammography, nuclear medicine, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), stereotactic breast biopsy, and ultrasound. This level of recognition is synonymous with exceptional performance, quality, and patient care delivered by Oceans entire team of board-certified radiologists, qualified technical staff, and management. Riverview Medical Center ------------------------ Surgical Renaissance -------------------- The investment in bringing the very best in surgery continues at Riverview Medical Center. Upon the successful completion of the Life.Changing. Campaign for Surgical Excellence, which raised $20 million to support the construction of Riverviews new 22,000 square foot center for surgical excellence, Riverview has also recently added the da Vinci Si Surgical System. The Meridian Center for Robotic Surgery at Riverview now provides even more options for minimally invasive surgery, allowing physicians to use the small incisions associated with traditional laparoscopic surgery, but with improved visualization and range of motion through robotically-assisted surgery. Today, more than 200 surgeons choose to perform their surgical procedures at Riverview. Imaging Makeover for Service and Technology ------------------------------------------- The Diagnostic Imaging Department at Riverview recently finished the complete renovation and installation of a new interventional radiology suite, along with reconstruction and expansion of the patient preparation and recovery area, providing better service for patients. This enhanced service is one of the many imaging modalities offered at our comprehensive and fully ACR-accredited Center. A new, state-of-the-art interventional suite will allow the Riverview Medical Center Diagnostic Imaging team to expand access to a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as: embolizations, paracentesis, thoracentesis, biopsies and arthrograms. A New Vision for Womens Health at Riverview and Bayshore --------------------------------------------------------- Bayshore and Riverview continue to enhance and coordinate services for the residents of Northern Monmouth County region. Over the past year, we introduced a new regional approach for care provided at the Womens Centers at Riverview Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital. Today, both Centers share clinical protocols, offer the latest technology, including Tomosynthesis or 3D mammography, as well as a fully fellowship-trained team of radiologists that cover both hospitals. This model, led by medical director, Bokran Won, M.D., provides consistent and exceptional care and evening and weekend hours that accommodate the varying lifestyles of women in our community. Bayshore Community Hospital --------------------------- Bayshores Heart Continues to Grow ---------------------------------- Incredible things are happening in the heart of Holmdel.

Finally, as part of an effort to significantly improve Bayshores service capabilities, work is currently underway on the construction of two state-of-the-art OR-compatible labs that will perform complex endovascular, cardiovascular intervention, and interventional radiology procedures. An Awakening for Sleep and Wound Healing Services ------------------------------------------------- In 2013, Bayshore Community Hospital made significant additions to its array of services by opening the Center for Wound Healing and the Center for Sleep Medicine. As an outpatient wound management program, the Center for Wound Healing provides a larger and more modern healing environment that includes hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment to better meet the needs of patients suffering from chronic and non-healing wounds. Lauding a wound healing rate consistently over 95 percent, the Center received the Center of Distinction Award. Additionally, a new six-bed Center for Sleep Medicine was opened and provides enhanced sleep medicine services in a larger, home-like environment that better meets the needs of adults and children. The Center is led by board-certified sleep medicine physicians and staffed by a team of trained sleep technologists who employ a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Southern Ocean Medical Center ----------------------------- A New Era of Emergency Care --------------------------- August 2013 marked the opening of a new, expanded Emergency Department at Southern Ocean Medical Center. This $22 million project expanded the facility to triple the size of the former Emergency Department and is the largest building project in the history of the medical center. The Center features 22 large and private emergency bays, raising emergency care to a new level with a renewed focus on privacy, convenience, and the guest experience. The facility includes space designed for behavioral health patients that is discreet, separate, and secure, and children have their own area within the Martin Truex Jr. Pediatric Care Center. Expanded triage and fast track areas provide better care and better service, thus improving the emergency experience for patients and family members, as well as for the doctors and nurses who deliver care.
