        <Description>RESEARCH: The Research Division of Hospital for Special Surgery continued its activities in 2011 toward enhancing and expanding our research in musculoskeletal diseases. Research at Hospital for Special Surgery works to advance the understanding and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders through basic, translational and clinical research and education. The goals are to identify genetic, environmental, cellular, structural and molecular mechanisms underlying disorders important in orthopedics, rheumatology and related disciplines and to discover effective approaches for diagnosis prevention, and treatment of these disorders. The Research Division is funded by an operating budget of $32 million, supported in part by approximately $19 million in extramural funds, including $12 million from federal grants. This research resulted in 239 publications from 86 scientists in 2011. Highlights for 2011 include: Translating scientific discoveries into clinical practice, expanding the osteoarthritis (OA) initiative by hosting an international conference on OA, publishing results of our extensive research portfolio in rheumatoid arthritis in leading scientific journals, and expanding our clinical research utilizing data from 44 research registries containing information on more than 75,000 patients.</Description>

        <Explanation>2011 BAD DEBT EXPENSE PRESENTED ON THE 2011 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WAS $2,653,621. THIS INCLUDED A REVERSAL OF $2,375,000 FOR A SPECIFIC CASE THAT WAS EXPECTED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. IN 2011, SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PAYMENT WAS RECEIVED ON THIS SPECIFIC CASE. THEREFORE, FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE H, BAD DEBT EXPENSE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY FOR THE SPECIFIC CASE. ADJUSTED BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS $5,028,621. IN ADDITION, TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSE WAS ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO REFLECT THE .35% ($2,128,987) AND 1% ($3,594,237) TAX ASSESSMENTS IMPOSED BY NEW YORK STATE. AS SUCH, THESE FEES WERE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY IN LINE 7 AS WELL AS THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSE.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>A COST TO CHARGE RATIO OF 41.70% AS CALCULATED PER THE APPLICABLE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS WAS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT CHARGES) OF $2,653,621 TO CALCULATE THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $1,106,560 AT COST. THE UNCOMPENSATED CARE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT STATES, "AS A MATTER OF POLICY, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY UNCOMPENSATED PATIENT CARE. FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES, SUCH UNCOMPENSATED CARE IS TREATED EITHER AS CHARITY CARE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY OR AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ENSURES THE PROVISION OF QUALITY HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY SERVED WHILE CAREFULLY CONSIDERING AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ABILITY OF THE PATIENT TO PAY. THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM'S ELIGIBILITY THRESHOLD IS 500% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, WHICH IS IN EXCESS OF THE NEW YORK STATE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF 300%. THE HOSPITAL HAS DEFINED CHARITY CARE FOR ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE PURPOSES AS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ITS CUSTOMARY CHARGES AND THE DISCOUNTED RATES GIVEN TO PATIENTS IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AS THE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY IS NOT PURSUED, SUCH AMOUNTS ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR DISCOUNTED FEES ARE BILLED AT THE HOSPITAL'S ESTABLISHED CHARGES. UNCOLLECTED BALANCES FOR THESE PATIENTS ARE CATEGORIZED AS BAD DEBTS. TOTAL UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN 2011 AND 2010 FOR ALL PATIENT SERVICES AGGREGATED APPROXIMATELY $6.5 MILLION AND $10.4 MILLION RESPECTIVELY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL OPERATES ITS CLINICS AT A LOSS, TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW INCOME AND UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS, AND ALSO OPERATES NUMEROUS OUTREACH AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS WHICH BENEFIT THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES."</Explanation>

THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $23,242,910 AS REPORTED IN PART III, LINE 7 WAS CALCULATED USING MEDICARE COST REPORTING PRINCIPLES AND A COST TO CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL IS PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT THE MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THESE RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>SELF PAY BALANCES, INCLUDING THOSE BALANCES DUE AFTER PAYMENT FROM AN INSURANCE CARRIER AND THE PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY PORTION RELATED TO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AFTER THE DISCOUNT HAS BEEN APPLIED, ARE HANDLED ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING POLICY: ALL PATIENTS ARE BILLED USING STANDARD CYCLES INCLUDING THE ISSUANCE OF A DETAILED BILL, COLLECTION LETTERS AND/OR TELEPHONE CALLS, AND THEN TRANSFER TO A "PRE-COLLECTION STATUS." THESE COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE DOCUMENTED ELECTRONICALLY IN THE PATIENT'S FILE. DURING THE PRE-COLLECTION PHASE, ADDITIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS AND/OR LETTERS ARE MADE TO ATTEMPT TO COLLECT PAYMENT IN FULL. IF UNSUCCESSFUL, THE ACCOUNT IS TRANSFERRED TO A PROFESSIONAL COLLECTION AGENCY, NO LESS THAN 120 DAYS AFTER THE ORIGINAL SELF PAY BILLING DATE. THESE REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS INCLUDE ALL PATIENT ACCOUNTS, FOR BOTH MEDICARE AND NON-MEDICARE PATIENTS. MEDICARE AND NON-MEDICARE ACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED SEPARATELY. ANY PATIENTS EXPRESSING INTEREST IN APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL HAVE THEIR BILLS HELD PENDING ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION. IF PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE REDUCED BASED ON THE APPROPRIATE SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT AND THE RESULTING BALANCE WILL BE RE-BILLED ACCORDINGLY. PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY THE COLLECTION AGENCY REDUCE THE AMOUNT RECORDED AS BAD DEBT. IT IS THE HOSPITAL'S PRACTICE NOT TO FILE SUIT, ATTACH ASSETS, OR PURSUE LIENS FOR ALL PATIENTS INCLUSIVE OF FAP ELIGIBLE PATIENTS. IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, IN COORDINATION WITH THE HOSPITAL'S INTERNAL LEGAL COUNSEL, THE HOSPITAL MAY TAKE SUCH MEASURES IF DEEMED WARRANTED. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS: IF PATIENTS ARE UNABLE TO PAY THE ENTIRE BALANCE IN FULL, PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS OF MONTHLY PAYMENT WILL BE OFFERED. UNDER SUCH ARRANGEMENTS, ACCOUNTS ARE TYPICALLY PAID IN FULL WITHIN SIX TO TWELVE MONTHS UNLESS OTHERWISE EXTENDED AS PART OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. A CONFIRMATION LETTER WILL BE SENT WITHIN 5 DAYS, EXPLAINING THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. IF MONTHLY PAYMENT IS MISSED, THE ACCOUNT WILL PROGRESS TO THE NEXT STAGE IN THE CYCLE.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>There was no first class travel reimbursed in 2011. The HSS travel policy states for business class travel prior approval from the CEO is required and usually only approved if the length of the flight is greater than 5 hours. Upgrade to first class occurs only if business class does not exist. With regards to the CEO and Surgeon-in-Chief travel, the CEO and Surgeon-in-Chief have approval from the Compensation Committee of the Board to fly business class if the flight is greater than 5 hours. The Board of Trustees reviews the CEO's and Surgeon-in-Chief' expenses on a quarterly basis. Business class or first class travel are not treated as taxable compensation.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>HSS subleases physician office space from HSS Properties Corporation, an affiliate, which, in turn, leases physician office space from 143 Sound Beach Avenue Associates, L.P. A son of Russell F. Warren, M.D., the former Surgeon-in-Chief of HSS and an elected member of HSS' Board of Trustees, is a part owner of 143 Sound Beach Avenue Associates, L.P., the lessor. HSS Properties Corporation entered into the original lease in October 2000, following a lengthy search for suitable office space in the area, and after an independent valuation of the terms of the lease by a professional, commercial real estate firm confirmed the fair market value of the terms. At that time, Dr. Warren was the Surgeon-in-Chief of HSS and an ex officio member of HSS' Board of Trustees. The potential conflict of interest was disclosed to HSS' Board of Trustees and to the Board of Trustees of HSS Properties Corporation. Dr. Warren recused himself from the review, deliberation and vote. In 2010, HSS Properties renewed the lease through 2021, at a reduced rental rate that reflected a change in the real estate market from the time of the original lease, as confirmed by an independent professional real estate firm. The same due diligence, disclosure and review process (including recusal of Dr. Warren) was followed when the lease was renewed in June 2010. The approvals of the original lease and of the renewal were made by the vote of the disinterested members of the respective Boards of HSS and HSS Properties Corporation AMOUNT OF TRANSACTION: $338,083 DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION: HSS Properties Corporation (an affiliate of HSS) made lease payments in 2011 for physician office space it leases that is owned by 143 Sound Beach Avenue Associates, L.P. HSS Properties subleases the space to HSS.</Explanation>
