        <Explanation>Patients who are uninsured or underinsured and cannot pay for hospital services are eligible for charity consideration. These patients are screened by designated team members in our Financial Assistance Department. The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) defines charity eligibility at 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, unless the total hospital bill is more than 25 percent of the patient's annual income. Medicaid recipients who have exceeded their coverage limits are also considered for charity care. Trustees of Mease Hospital, Inc goes above and beyond the AHCA requirements by providing additional "hardship" charity for patients who are at 250 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. In addition, an uninsured discount of 40% is automatically given to any patient who does not have insurance coverage or benefits. There is no income or asset test required for the uninsured discount. Patients receive an additional 10% discount if the account is paid within 30 days.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Financial assistance and means-tested government programs costs (lines A through D) are determined using our cost accounting system, which captures all inpatients and outpatients, including emergency room patients. The system also captures all patient pay types - private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, uninsured and self pay. The costs have been offset by any payments received from Medicaid or any other uncompensated care program. Other benefits at cost (lines E through J, as well as amounts reported in Part II) were compiled by the community health department using the Catholic Health Association guide for planning and reporting community benefits.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The organization's financial statements do not include a footnote directly on bad debt expense. Bad debt expense is reported as total bad debt for the facility. The amount of bad debt expense attributable to patients eligible for financial assistance is calculated as a charge ratio, derived from data sampling. The resulting charge ratio is then applied to total bad debt accounts of the organization, which calculates the bad debt attributable to finance assistance. The state of Florida requires the patient to provide certain documentation in order to qualify for financial assistance. In cases where the patient has not responded to hospital requests or billing statement alerts, those accounts are processed as bad debt, if unpaid.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Cost reports were used to report Medicare allowable costs. Medicare defines allowable costs as those appropriate and helpful in developing and maintaining the operation of patient care facilities and activities. It specifically excludes certain costs that are not directly related to patient care. The hospital incurs additional expense related to the provision of care to Medicare patients that Medicare has deemed non-allowable. This additional expense includes costs of physician services (emergency on-call fees, hospitalist program, recruitment, etc.), advertising costs, cafeteria costs for meals sold to visitors, etc. The hospital attempts to collect coinsurance and deductibles from Medicare beneficiaries. To the extent collection efforts are unsuccessful, Medicare reimburses the hospital at 70% of unpaid amounts. The following table reconciles the surplus or shortfall from Line 7 to the actual surplus or shortfall. The additional costs were allocated to Medicare based upon Medicare's percentage of total allowable costs. The unpaid coinsurance/deductibles were estimated using historical collection results. Any shortfall amounts have not been treated as community benefit. Line 7 Surplus or (Shortfall) ($4,561,637) Additional non-allowable costs and unpaid/non-reimbursed coinsurance/deductibles ($10,649,767) Total Surplus or (Shortfall) ($15,211,404)</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Mease Countryside and Mease Dunedin Hospitals Residents of the small city of Dunedin encouraged Dr. Jack Mease to build a hospital with the community's help in 1937. Today Mease Dunedin is a 143-bed hospital celebrating more than 75 years of meeting the needs of the community it serves. Mease Countryside Hospital originally began as a satellite clinic to Mease Dunedin Hospital. The needs of the community grew along with a housing boom and in 1985 Mease Countryside Hospital opened. Today, Mease Countryside Hospital is a 300-bed facility. Mease Countryside Hospital has been nationally recognized by Truven in a study identifying the 100 top U.S. hospitals based on their overall organizational performance. This marks the ninth time Mease Countryside has been recognized among the 100 Top Hospitals. Mease Countryside also was among 16 hospitals in the nation to receive an Everest Award from Truven, which recognizes hospitals that have achieved both the highest current performance and the fastest long-term improvement over five years. The Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals study evaluates performance in 10 areas: mortality; medical complications; patient safety; average patient stay; expenses; profitability; patient satisfaction; adherence to clinical standards of care; core measures score; and post-discharge mortality and readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, and pneumonia. 2012 Overview Mease Dunedin Hospital Construction of New Operative Suites In June, the hospital opened its new surgical center featuring three integrated technology operating suites, better suited to accommodate today's surgical equipment. Averaging approximately 600-square-feet, the new operating suites are more than double the size of previous operating rooms. 75th Anniversary On April 18, 1937, Mease Dunedin opened as a 19-bed hospital with a staff of three physicians and two nurses. In 2012, Mease Dunedin celebrated its 75th year of improving the health of the community. Celebrations included team member events and a proclamation by the City of Dunedin. Weight Loss Surgery Program Mease Dunedin Hospital is the center for the Surgical Bariatric Program within Morton Plant Mease. It is the only hospital in the BayCare Health System that currently performs all three surgical weight loss procedures; Gastric Band, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Gastric Bypass. The goal is to become a Bariatric Center of Excellence. Mease Countryside Hospital In January, the new Mease Countryside Wound Care Center at East Lake Outpatient Center opened, offering patients needing care for chronic wounds another location option in the north Pinellas and Trinity areas. Work started on a new Central Utility Plant (CUP), the first phase of the hospital's master facility plan. The new CUP building is scheduled for completion in 2014. Commitment to Children's Care Mease Countryside Hospital continued its commitment to strengthen and advance children's care in north Pinellas and south Pasco counties through its partnership with St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. Called St. Joseph's Children's at Morton Plant Mease, the goal of the partnership is to bring more access to innovative and high-tech care in a family-centered setting to the community. A child life specialist works with children and their parents to bring a sense of normalcy to the experience of hospitalization. Through Children's Advocacy, Mease Countryside Hospital is committed to providing leadership, experience and expertise as a community and state resource to advocate for the health and wellbeing of children and their families. Educational classes and community activities include home safety assessments and education on prevention of falls, airway obstruction, drowning, fire/burn and poisoning; asthma assessments and education; child passenger safety education; bicycle and pedestrian safety education and Florida KidCare insurance outreach. The St. Joseph's Children's Specialty Center on the Mease Countryside campus provides the north Pinellas and south Pasco communities with more access to physical, occupational, speech, and sensory therapy programs and educational programs, as well as pediatric physician specialty services for neurology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and cardiology and convenient, on-site pediatric laboratory services and a community education room for parent information and education. As part of its goal of meeting its patients and visitors needs, Mease Countryside welcomed the opening of the Baby &amp; Me Boutique. The Boutique was made possible by the hospital's Volunteer Resources, in partnership with Morton Plant Mease Foundation. It specializes in providing a welcoming, personal shopping experience for new moms and their families and friends. Community Screenings Morton Plant Mease screened community members on such diseases and conditions as high blood pressure, prostate cancer, skin cancer and cardiovascular disease. The health screenings were conducted at many venues, such as recreation centers, senior expos and hospital-sponsored events. In addition, Morton Plant Mease gave free athletic physicals to 275 Pinellas County high school students. Our comprehensive physicals included checks of height, weight, blood pressure, vision and lungs, a musculoskeletal exam and cardiovascular screenings. Physicians and other health care practitioners from Morton Plant Mease conducted free skin cancer screenings in support of the 17th Annual Melanoma Monday, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness and encourage early detection of skin cancers. Support Groups Mease Dunedin and Mease Countryside hospitals provide free community support groups on a wide variety of topics ranging from Alzheimer's to women's cancers. In 2012, active support groups included Grief Support Group, Alzheimer's Support Group, Breastfeeding Support Groups, Diabetes Support Groups, Support Groups for Bariatric Surgery Patients, Cancer Patients' Hope and Support Group, Men's Cancer Discussion Group and Women's Cancer Support Group.

Community Organization Support Morton Plant Mease believes in providing financial support to not-for-profit organizations whose missions are to improve the health and well-being of our community. In 2012, we donated $39,750 to 11 organizations, including the following: American Cancer Society Clearwater Free Clinic Upper Pinellas Association for Retarded Citizens Youth and Family Alternatives, Inc. Community Lectures In 2012, Mease Countryside and Mease Dunedin held lectures on a variety of topics including asthma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, diabetes, hearing health, sleep disorders, youth sports safety, skin cancer, women's health and wellness, heart health, back pain and spinal health, joint health and vascular disease. Faith Community Nursing Faith Community Nursing offers a unique partnership between two healing groups - Morton Plant Mease Health Care and faith communities in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties. This nursing specialty takes a "whole person" approach to health care, promoting wellness of body, mind and spirit within the context of the values, beliefs and practices of a faith community. Our faith community nurses work to improve congregational health by encouraging preventative care and referring parishioners to appropriate health resources. Members of faith communities learn ways to take control of their own well-being and better manage their family's health. In 2012, 88 Registered Nurses in 45 various faith communities had one to one contact with 14,000 individuals in and around their faith communities and conducted more than 2,500 screenings. Morton Plant Mease Faith Community Nurses referred 1,974 people to seek further evaluation for health concerns and donated 12,539 hours of care as unpaid professionals. Primary Care Recognizing that access to primary care physicians is central to the health and wellness of the community, Morton Plant Mease has developed a group of approximately 38 physician offices with 110 board-certified or board-eligible physicians specializing in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, geriatrics and gastroenterology. Patients are encouraged to select a personal long-term care physician for preventive, acute and chronic problems.

        <Explanation>Trustees of Mease Hospital, Inc is part of BayCare Health System, a leading, community-based health system in the Tampa Bay area with 20,100 employees, 10 not-for-profit hospitals, 14 outpatient centers, and a complete range of services, such as imaging, laboratory, behavioral health, and home care. BayCare hospitals include Mease Countryside, Mease Dunedin, Morton Plant, Morton Plant North Bay, St. Anthony's, South Florida Baptist, St. Joseph's, St. Joseph's Women's, St. Joseph's Children's, and St. Joseph's Hospital-North. St. Joseph's hospitals operate as one entity and file one Form 990. BayCare was founded in 1997 when the area's top not-for-profit hospitals came together, united by a common mission to improve the health of their communities and continue caring for all patients regardless of their ability to pay. In 2012, BayCare provided $188.6 million in community benefits, which includes $86.2 million in traditional charity care, $91.5 million in Medicaid and other means-tested programs, and $10.9 million in unbilled community services. All of these are measured in unreimbursed cost. BayCare's financial stability and centralization of shared services in finance, information technology and human resources strengthens each hospital's ability to allocate resources to meet the needs of their communities. BayCare's hospitals are located in three geographic regions, each with its own Board of local leadership focused on its community's specific needs. BayCare also meets the needs of the community by being one of the largest employers in the Tampa Bay region, spending $1.2 billion on payroll and benefits for 20,100 employees. In 2012, BayCare added 500 new employees during a tough economy when unemployment rates in other areas remained high. To meet the health care needs of the community, BayCare provides expert medical care through a network with more than 200 access points connecting patients to a complete range of preventive, diagnostic and treatment services for any health care need. BayCare's network includes primary care and specialist physicians, urgent/immediate care centers, imaging, wellness centers, and 21 laboratory locations providing general, specialized and molecular testing. In addition, BayCare's home care division is one of the largest in Florida, providing 622,000 home health visits in 2012, helping patients leave the hospital sooner and recover at home where they are more comfortable. Recognizing the community's need for mental health services, BayCare also continues to be the largest, not-for-profit provider of behavioral health services in west central Florida. BayCare Behavioral Health offers inpatient, outpatient, in-home treatment, support group and case management services. BayCare's designated Baker Act-receiving facilities in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties provide inpatient crisis stabilization and partial hospitalization programs as part of the continuum of mental health care. BayCare also operates the only private, freestanding Baker Act-receiving hospitals in Hillsborough and Pasco counties. In 2012, BayCare began the process of assisting each hospital with a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) as required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. As part of the process, BayCare conducted primary research with community stakeholders and focus groups, and secondary research to analyze the area's health status indicators, morbidity, mortality prevalence rates, socio-economic factors, behavioral risk factors, community needs scores, and prevention quality indicators. BayCare will use this information to develop reports for each hospital, implementation plans to address identified community needs, and specific measures to monitor progress. BayCare also continued developing its clinically integrated network, known as BayCare Physician Partners. This is a new model of care designed to improve the clinical coordination between employed physicians, independent physicians and health system resources. The goal of BayCare Physician Partners is to improve the overall health and patient experience of populations served by the network. More than 1,100 physicians joined BayCare Physician Partners in 2012. The network also approved 17 clinical performance measures for all of its member physicians and attained contractual agreements with three major health plans, affecting about 50,000 patient lives in the area. In addition to the strong growth of physician membership in 2012, BayCare Physician Partners continued developing the administrative and technology infrastructure needed to deliver the network's improved care coordination and overall population health in 2013. To meet the health care needs of a growing but medically underserved area in southern Hillsborough, BayCare has started construction on St. Joseph's Hospital South, a 352,000-square-foot, 90-bed, acute-care community hospital. The $237-million facility, which includes an 86,000-square-foot medical office building, is scheduled to open in 2015. In 2012, BayCare also successfully completed its seven-year implementation of a system-wide, electronic medical record at its 10 hospitals. With the completion of the project, all ancillary, nursing and physician staff members now document clinical information electronically, providing the entire care team with a more complete and more accurate care record, available in real time. BayCare hosted its largest annual Quality Sharing Day event in 2012, with more than 600 employees taking part in a full day of learning about best practices from Six Sigma and performance improvement projects throughout the health system. The event featured 13 teams presenting summaries of successful process improvements and 80 storyboard exhibits on projects recognized for quality contributions. Since BayCare began its Six Sigma program in 2004, thousands of employees have participated in performance improvement projects that have helped drive process efficiency and cost savings throughout the organization. To help educate future nurses and health care professionals, BayCare collaborates with Hillsborough Community College, University of Tampa, St. Petersburg College, Pasco Hernando Community College, and the Pinellas Technical Education Center. In 2012, BayCare also supported more than 90 community organizations and charities, big and small, through event sponsorships as part of the health system's commitment to the community. These organizations include the American Heart Association, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, American Cancer Society, the Tampa Bay Partnership: ONE BAY Healthy Communities, and local economic development councils and chambers of commerce.</Explanation>

Part VI, Line 12c - Description of Process to Monitor Transactions for Conflicts of Interest Trustees of Mease Hospital, Inc. has two separate conflict of interest procedures; one that relates to Board members and another that relates to non-board member employees. Both groups are required on an annual basis to complete, sign and file an annual disclosure statement detailing existing or potential conflicts of interests. For Board members, the review of conflicts or potential conflicts occurs at the Board or committee level. After disclosure of the Board Member's or Committee Member's actual or potential conflict, the following procedures for addressing the conflict of interest will be adhered to by each Board and all Committees with Board delegated powers, without exception: 1. The interested Director or Committee member shall leave the Board or Committee meeting while the conflict of interest issue is discussed. 2. The remaining Board or Committee Members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. 3. If a conflict of interest is deemed to exist: a. The Chairperson of the Board or Committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested individual or committee to investigate the proposed transaction or arrangement. b. The Board or Committee shall determine whether the BayCare entity can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from an individual or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. c. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably available, the Board or Committee shall determine whether the transaction or arrangement is in the BayCare entity's best interest, and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to BayCare. An interested Director or Committee Member shall not vote, participate in, influence or attempt to influence any determination or proceedings. The Director or Committee Member may, however, respond to questions posed by the Board or Committee regarding the contract or transaction. Any such contract or transaction must be authorized by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors or Committee Members entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum was present. Any interested Director or Committee Member may not be counted in determining the existence of a quorum. For employees, the review of conflicts of interest or potential conflicts goes to the Conflict of Interest Determination Committee. This committee consists of BayCare Chief Compliance Officer, the Corporate Responsibility Officers, and the BayCare Vice President of Team Resources. This committee shall determine if an actual conflict exists and any action required to address the conflict of interest situation.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Lines 15a &amp; 15b - Process used for Compensation Review and Approval The filing organization does not directly compensate some of its top management employees; rather compensation is paid by a related organization that also follows the compensation policy of the Compensation Committee. The independent Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee's purpose is to provide oversight for the organization's executive compensation program, review and approve compensation and benefits for all "disqualified persons" subject to the Intermediate Sanctions regulations issued under Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code (including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer &amp; CFO, other system and entity executives, and other disqualified persons as defined in the Intermediate Sanctions regulations (i.e., voting members of the governing body, family members, former officers)), and establish the compensation philosophy for all other executives. This committee engages nationally recognized compensation consultants to assist them in review of executive compensation. The compensation consultants provide a review of each vice president and above in the system to determine if that employee's compensation is reasonable when compared against market standards. The data reviewed comes from compensation studies that include comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The organization keeps contemporaneous minutes of the compensation committees meetings and decisions. External consultants review compensation every other year with the last review occurring in 2011 but the compensation committee regularly monitors compensation and all other procedures are followed annually. Part VI, Question 19 - How and If the Governing Documents, Conflict of Interest Policy and Financial Statements are Made Available to the Public Trustees of Mease Hospital Inc. publishes its financial statements with the Agency for Health Care Administration. Governing documents and policies are not available for public inspection.</Explanation>
