Description	For 148 years, NMH and its predecessor institutions, Passavant Memorial and Wesley Memorial hospitals, have served the people of Chicago. The commitment to provide healthcare, regardless of the ability to pay, reaches back to the founding principles of Passavant and Wesley and continues to be integral to our Patients First mission. Importantly, it provides the foundation for our mission-driven commitment to improve the health of the communities we serve. This commitment is advanced by focusing on enhancing patient access, safety and quality through hospital-based care and services and through partnerships with community health centers that date back more than 50 years. As the primary teaching hospital for Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), the more than 1,700 physicians on the medical staff at NMH carry faculty appointments at Feinberg and represent virtually every medical specialty. Through Northwestern Medicine, Northwestern Memorial shares a vision with Feinberg and Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation (NMFF), an independent academic multispecialty group practice for the fulltime faculty of Feinberg, to work collaboratively as a leading academic medical center (AMC) to positively impact the future of healthcare through exceptional patient care, excellence in medical education and breakthrough scientific research that can lead to improved treatments and cures. NMH is among only 6% of the nation's hospitals designated as an AMC hospital, which according to the Association of American Medical Colleges in aggregate deliver a vastly disproportionate share of the nation's trauma, intensive care and tertiary services, provide 28% of all Medicaid care and underwrite 41% of all hospital-based charity care. As the only acute care hospital located in Chicago's growing downtown area, more than 47,000 adult patients were admitted to NMH as inpatients in fiscal year 2012. As the only adult Emergency Department (ED) in downtown Chicago with 24/7 service, NMH had more than 83,800 ED visits in fiscal year 2012, up 19% since fiscal year 2005. NMH is also the only AMC hospital in Chicago participating in both city and state Level I trauma networks and as a Level III neonatal intensive care unit, allowing us to provide lifesaving care and treatment to the most seriously injured adults and premature and sick infants. In addition to meeting the needs of the patients and communities in our primary service area, NMH also serves an important role for patients residing outside of Chicago. As a nationally ranked AMC hospital and a major referral center in the Midwest and beyond, NMH is one of a limited number of places in the region where patients requiring advanced tertiary, quaternary or specialty services can receive the care they need	Description

These amounts are based primarily on management's assessment of historical and expected write-offs and net collections along with the aging status for each major payor source. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for uncollectible accounts. Based on historical experience, a portion of Northwestern Memorial's self-pay patients who do not qualify for charity care will be unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided. Thus, a provision is recorded for bad debts in the period services are provided related to these patients. After all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted in accordance with Northwestern Memorial's policies, accounts receivable are written off and charged against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. Northwestern Memorial has determined, based on an assessment at the reporting-entity level, that patient service revenue is primarily recorded prior to assessing the patient's ability to pay, and as such, the entire provision for bad debts is recorded as a deduction from patient service revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets.

Financial Assistance collection practices	Schedule H, part III, line 9b	NMHC's Credit and Collection Policy contains a provision for financial counseling. tHE POLICY STATES THAT patients with self-pay balances and without the resources to pay their obligations will be assessed FOR FREE AND DISCOUNTED CARE eligibility By the Financial Counseling Departments. The assessment involves an evaluation of all levels of assistance including governmental assistance, extended pay alternatives, and free or discounted care. If THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR free care, THE ACCOUNT IS ADJUSTED TO ZERO SO NO COLLECTION ACTIVITY OCCURS. If financial assistance results in a discounted or reduced balance, only the reduced balance will be subject to the collection practices.
Amounts Charged to patients	Schedule H, Part V, schedule B, Line 11h, Other	other variables used to determine amounts charged to patients included: state of residency, family size, extenuating circumstances and medically necessary services.
Publicizing Policy	Schedule H, Part V, Line 13g, Other	Summary brochure was available at check-in.
Determination of FAP eligible charges	Schedule H, Part V, Line 19d, Other	The maximum amount that can be charged to FAP-eligible individuals is dependent upon their household income level and family size. Emergency or other medically necessary care for individuals with household income up to 250% of the published federal poverty income levels ("FPL") is provided at no charge. Care for individuals with family income from 251% to 600% of the FPL is charged at the approximate cost of the care provided, with the cost calculation based on the annual filed Medicare Cost Report. In addition, the FAP for NMHC has provisions to address catastrophic care situations. Payments under the NMHC FAP shall not exceed 21% of the patient's annual household income, for patients under 600% of FPL, and shall not exceed 35% of the patient's household income for qualifying patients above 600% of FPL.
Needs assessment	schedule H, part VI, Line 2	Healthcare Needs Considered in Developing the Community Benefits Plan NMHC's mission to improve the health of the communities we serve is advanced through innovative programs to better manage chronic diseases, particularly among the medically underserved. NMhC's Community Benefit Plan focuses on addressing chronic diseases and is consistent with the strategic priorities of public health organizations at both the state and local levels. Among the leading health indicators identified in the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Healthy People 2020 initiative is clinical preventive services. Through use of preventive strategies and screenings, both chronic and acute diseases can be detected and treated at earlier, more treatable stages, significantly reducing the risk of illness, disability, early death, and medical care costs. The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) Healthy Chicago agenda prioritizes prevention of chronic diseases, health awareness and access for all Chicagoans, reduction in health disparities based on socioeconomic status, and promotion of healthier lifestyles and environment. The Healthy Chicago agenda explicitly calls for increased partnerships between public, community-based, and hospital healthcare providers and researchers to attain its goals. Members of the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council (MCHC) engaged Professional Research Consultants, Incorporated (PRC) in 2009 to design, implement and analyze a comprehensive statistical assessment of the health needs, behaviors and disparities among residents of Cook, DuPage and Lake Counties in Illinois. NMH purchased the report and utilizes the findings in identifying the most important health needs in the communities served by NMH and NLFH. NMH has formal and longstanding affiliations with two Federally Qualified Health Center partners based in the community, Near North health service corp and Erie family health center. Through these partnerships, programs are collaboratively developed and implemented to address the healthcare needs of the patients in medically underserved communities throughout Chicago. One member of NMH's senior management team serves as a board member at Near North and two serve at Erie. Near North, a community health partner for more than 40 years, provides neighborhood-based care and support services through eight primary healthcare sites and four ancillary sites to more than 35,000 primarily low-income uninsured or underinsured residents who live in some of the city's most impoverished communities, including the Near North/Cabrini Green area; West Town; Humboldt Park; West Garfield Park; Austin; Kenwood/Oakland; Douglas; Grand Boulevard and Uptown. Near North operates primary care clinics on Chicago's South, West and Near North sides. Erie was founded in the 1950s as a project of volunteer physicians from NMH and Erie Neighborhood House. Erie provides a variety of primary care and case management services through nine sites and a number of other partnership programs to more than 34,000 patients annually from the Chicago neighborhoods of Albany Park, Avondale, Belmont Cragin, Hermosa, Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Lincoln Square, North Lawndale and West Town. Erie serves a population that is primarily Hispanic, the majority of which come from households with incomes that fall below the federal poverty level. NMH collaborates with both Near North and Erie to identify health concerns for the populations they serve, and both organizations have targeted diabetes and women's health as priority areas of focus. The collaborative development of health initiatives among NMH, Near North, Erie, Feinberg and others to address chronic disease in their communities is detailed in a subsequent section of this report. Based on the success of Diabetes Collaborative, the program was expanded to the Humboldt Park community, an area of extraordinarily high incidence of diabetes, as detailed further in this report. Through charity care, outreach services and health education programs at NLFH, NMHC responds to the priority health needs of the residents of Lake County, especially among the uninsured or underinsured. Information on health needs comes from the Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center's Annual Report and Information Guide and NLFH also participated in the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council's 2009 Community Health Assessment, which evaluated the health needs of residents in each county throughout the Chicago region Through charity care, outreach services and health education programs at NLFH, Northwestern Memorial responds to the priority health needs of the residents of Lake County, especially among the uninsured or underinsured.

Patient education of financial assistance eligibility	Schedule H, part VI, Line 3	There are many ways that patients of the Hospitals are informed or made aware of the availability of the Hospital's various financial assistance programs: a. To increase awareness of its financial assistance programs, the Hospitals have developed brochures (in English and Spanish) that are provided to patients upon admission and available at registration points-of-entry. b. English and Spanish-language signs notifying patients that financial assistance is available are present at every patient registration area, including the emergency department. c. As part of the registration process, patients are provided with a financial assistance information brochure which describes the types of assistance available and how to qualify for one or more of the programs. d. The general consent form that every patient signs contains information about the NMHC financial assistance programs, and is available in English, Spanish, Russian and Polish at NMH, while NLFH has programs in english and spanish. e. Inpatients receive a Patient Welcome Package that includes the financial assistance information. f. Patients can learn about and assess their eligibility for the Hospital's financial assistance programs with the help of the Hospital's team of financial counseling and patient inquiry representatives. These representatives are available on a walk-in basis or through a toll-free number. g. Processes are in place to link patients with financial counselors and patient inquiry representatives when financial hardship is identified as a concern during social services assessments. h. The entry portal to the NMH and NLFH websites contain a prominent link to information about NMH's various financial assistance programs, the financial assistance brochure and downloadable applications in multiple languages. i. Working in conjunction with clinical staff, financial counselors visit inpatients not enrolled in government or private health plans while they are still in the hospital to assist them in determining their eligibility for both government health programs and for Hospital Free and Discounted Care programs. j. The Hospitals inform uninsured patients, and patients with an outstanding balance after insurance, of the availability of various financial assistance programs, including the free care and discounted care program, and the catastrophic program offered by the Hospitals, in written correspondence sent to those patients. This information includes the toll-free phone number to the team of patient account representatives. k. The Hospitals have on-site patient account staff who are trained and available to assist patients with financial assistance. l. The Hospitals provide proactive financial counseling for self-pay patients who have a scheduled inpatient admission. Financial counseling includes assessment for publicly or privately funded insurance and the Hospitals' financial assistance programs.

This information includes the toll-free phone number to the team of patient account representatives.
Community Information	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4	Populations and Community Served by Northwestern Memorial Northwestern Memorial's patient care, education and research programs provide broad benefit to Chicago, the region, nationally and internationally. Patient care is provided at both NMH and at NLFH, each serving surrounding regions. Northwestern Memorial Hospital Service Area NMH divides its total service area into three geographic areas: the primary service area (PSA), the city of Chicago and the surrounding seven-county area. The PSA, which is defined by the 22 zip codes surrounding NMH, accounts for 38% of inpatient admissions. The city of Chicago in total accounts for 65% of inpatient admissions. The community in NMH's PSA has a large and growing population and it is important for us to continue to grow so that we can continue to provide quality healthcare services, especially those only available at an Academic medical Center (AMC). Between 2012 and 2017, the population in NMH's PSA is projected to increase by 1.0%, whereas the population of Chicago is projected to decrease by 1.5%. Chicago is a diverse city, with a large African-American population and growing Latino and Asian populations. Northwestern Memorial is committed to providing culturally competent care that is responsive to the needs of all our patients. NMH has worked with community health centers in some of Chicago's medically underserved areas to identify priority health concerns and jointly develop community-based health initiatives designed to address healthcare disparities among people living in the community. Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Service Area NLFH primarily serves Lake County. Lake County is defined by 28 zip codes and accounts for 90% of inpatient admissions at NLFH. Of the approximately 706,000 residents in the county, an estimated 80,000 under the age of 65 are uninsured and more than 80,000 live in poverty Lake County's population is growing. Between 2012 and 2017, the population of Lake County is projected to increase by 3.1%.
Promotion of Community health	schedule H, Part VI, Line 5	Objective: As an academic medical center hospital, NMH values continual learning and innovation among its administrative as well as clinical staff. NMH seeks out and supports opportunities to share its knowledge as well as tangible resources with safety-net hospitals and not-for-profit providers of health and social services in Chicago and elsewhere. Donation of Furniture and Equipment In fiscal year 2012, Northwestern Memorial donated furniture and equipment that would have cost more than $100,000 if purchased new from a physician practice office to a local community healthcare organization. Chicago Cares In fiscal year 2012, Northwestern Memorial served as corporate sponsor for the 19th Annual Chicago Cares Serve-a-Thon. At the event, more than 750 NMH and NLFH employees and their family members donated personal time to volunteer work in general maintenance, construction and painting in public school campuses citywide. Northwestern Memorial was recognized for sending the largest team in the history of the event. Supporting Lambs Farm More than 160 NLFH employees and their families participated in a day of service at Lambs Farm, a not-for-profit organization that provides residence, vocational services, employment and support to adults with developmental disabilities in Lake County, Illinois. The families helped with painting and landscaping services. Objective: Northwestern Memorial seeks and maintains strong relationships with local residents, business leaders and community service organizations in the area immediately surrounding the NMH medical campus. These relationships help to ensure that NMH addresses its responsibility to provide healthcare services to its campus neighbors - not only residents, but also a large number of hotels, commercial properties and businesses that serve many thousands of visitors and tourists within blocks of the medical campus every day. NMH works to be a good neighbor in the community by participating in local activities and keeping residents and businesses informed about hospital programs and new developments that have an impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Similarly, NLFH actively participates in a broad range of initiatives that benefit local communities throughout Lake County, ranging from community programs like stroke awareness education and obesity prevention to affordable workforce housing and bike helmet safety. Northwestern Memorial actively seeks partners among the Chicago business community to join in health promotion and awareness initiatives. Members of Northwestern Memorial's leadership team serve on boards and advisory boards of local community health organizations, including but not limited to Near North, Erie, HealthReach, University HealthSystem Consortium, the Illinois Hospital Association, the Institute of Medicine of Chicago, the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council, the American Orthopaedics Association and others. Members of Northwestern Memorial's senior management team also hold leadership positions or memberships with significant civic organizations such as the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, World Business Chicago, the Business Leadership Group for Workforce Chicago 2.0, Greater North Michigan Avenue Association, Streeterville Chamber of Commerce, The Commercial Club of Chicago, the Economic Club of Chicago, the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce, Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure, and the American Cancer Society of Lake County. Northwestern Memorial's employees generously support a wide range of causes, including participating in blood drives and raising funds for the United Way, March of Dimes, walks to raise funds for causes such as cancer research and AIDS and NMH's Adopt-a-School program. Northwestern Memorial actively participates in planning initiatives that impact the broader community, such as transit and transportation planning in the downtown Chicago central area. NMH also participates in local neighborhood development planning to ensure that development in the south area of Streeterville, which includes the medical campus, is considerate of Streeterville residents and keeps them informed.
