FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	NOT APPLICABLE. THE ORGANIZATION USES FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION, AN ORGANIZATION INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990, PREPARES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH IT MAKES 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 2011, DEVOTED MORE THAN $103 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN ADDITION, AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III THE ORGANIZATION INCURRED BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $5.3 MILLION ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND INCURRED MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $61.2 MILLION WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MERIDIAN'S 2011 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM OR ON REQUEST THROUGH ANY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $55,220,916; THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION ONLY.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDER'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM 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 AND SUBSIDIARY. COLLECTIBILITY 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 COLLECTIBILITY 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 COLLECTIBILITY 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 PROVIDED. 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 $1.1 BILLION OF TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED FOR 2011 AND 2010 RESPECTIVELY, AN ESTIMATED COST OF $53,908,000 AND $52,954,000 FOR 2011 AND 2010 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.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2011 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 INDIVIDUAL'S 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). THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO 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." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT 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. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - 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. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, 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.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL CONTINUED	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	FOR JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER AND OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER, MERIDIAN 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. AS A RESULT OF A STATUTORY MERGER, SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER BECAME A DIVISION OF MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2010. SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER HAS NOT INTEGRATED ITS SYSTEMS INTO MERIDIAN'S SYSTEMS AND DOES NOT USE THE SAME COSTING METHODOLOGY AS MERIDIAN. SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER USES THE RATIO COST TO CHARGE METHODOLOGY TO CALCULATE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS.
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	MERIDIAN 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: - ACCOUNTS UNDER $7,500 THAT REACH THE END OF THE CYCLE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER TO THE FAIR ISAAC BAD DEBT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. - ACCOUNTS OVER $25,000 ARE APPROVED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES. - PAYMENTS AND FILES ARE RECONCILED THROUGH THE FAIR ISAAC BAD DEBT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REPORT (RMSSMS REC TOTALS) WHICH IS SENT TO MERIDIAN'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT. - AUTOMATIC TRANSFER TO A SECONDARY COLLECTION AGENCY OCCURS 180 DAYS AFTER PRIMARY PLACEMENT. - AUTOMATIC TRANSFER TO A TERTIARY ATTORNEY OCCURS 180 DAYS AFTER SECONDARY ASSIGNMENT.
FACILITY POLICIES AND PRACTICES	SCHEDULE H, PART V; SECTION B	Financial Assistance Policy, Question 11h Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, Riverview Medical Center and Southern Ocean Medical Center ("the Hospitals") exist to benefit our communities by promoting good health, healing, caring and comforting. The Hospitals are proud of its 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 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 2011 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 contracted with Chamberlin Edmonds and Century Business Solutions (CBIZ) to be onsite to assist inpatients and certain outpatients who meet the eligibility criteria with the application process. FAMILY CARE This program is designed to provide coverage for children. The Hospitals' Financial Assistance Team will assist you 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 available upon request. Patients paying at the time of their visit will be charged a flat rate. This rate equals less than 50% of our actual charges. Any patients that qualify for Financial Assistance will have applicable fees refunded. CHARITY CARE Unlike Medicaid and Family Care, which provides ongoing coverage for health care services, including physician services and drugs, Charity Care is designed to provide assistance to cover the costs of hospital services only. In order to apply for Charity Care a patient must have a scheduled appointment in the hospital within 30 days or have received a hospital bill within the last 12 months. Patients should know that their immigration status doesn't matter when they apply for Charity Care - it will not affect eligibility. If no other options are available to the patient, the Hospitals' Financial Assistance Team will assist in completing a Charity Care application. Charity Care discounts are in compliance with regulations established in NJAC 8:31.B-4.38. Uninsured billing limits are in accordance with P.L.2008 c.60. Discounted rates are available for patients without insurance depending on financial need. Patients are asked to provide proof of income, family size, and asset information in order to be considered for dis
NEEDS ASSESSMENT	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	ASSESSING THE LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS IN BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES, OUTREACH HAS BEEN DEFINED AS AN ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE SERVICES BEYOND CONVENTIONAL LIMITS, OFTEN TO PARTICULAR SEGMENTS OF A COMMUNITY.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT	CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	Meridian has been viewed as a leader in developing the full continuum of care, providing integrated services to ensure our patients receive coordinated and seamless care from diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation. The following speaks to our philosophy that its not the ability to do a single thing well, but the unique ability to do everything better. Meridian Cancer Care -------------------- Meridian Cancer Care provides multi-disciplinary care close to home and across the range of disease areas. Meridians focus on a multi- disciplinary, patient-oriented approach provides opportunities for both state-of-the-art care and trials. Meridian Cancer Care has seen growth in programs and expanded a formal Patient Navigator Program with nurses to lead patients every step of the way. Experts from Meridian CyberKnife Center at Riverview Medical Center have treated more than 1,200 patients, making it the first and the largest CyberKnife program in the region. As a painless non-invasive robotic radiosurgery system, CyberKnife treats benign and malignant tumors as well as other medical conditions. Plus, as the first and only System Partner of the Cancer Institue of New Jersey (CINJ), Meridian Cancer Care has expanded its partnership to grow research and education initiatives. 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. In 2011, Meridian CardioVascular Network thrived in research advancements, surgical innovations, and clinical trials. Our experts were the first in the region to offer groundbreaking procedures to implant life-saving devices, including the AngelMed Guardian cardiac monitor and alert system device that alerts if a heart attack is imminent, and the Abiomeds Impella 2.5 heart pump to assist critically ill heart patients. Meridians Congenital Heart program also expanded in 2011 to address the needs of adults living with congenital heart defects. Today, Meridian CardioVascular Network can manage the health of congenital heart patients from birth through adulthood. Meridian Neuroscience --------------------- Life can change in a moment. Specialists in Meridian Neuroscience have developed programs to diagnose and treat a range of conditions from stroke to epilepsy, brain tumors to spine injuries, and movement and memory disorders. Meridian has partnered with NFL Hall of Famer Harry Carson to tackle stroke. As the spokesperson for Meridian Neuroscience, Harry promotes stroke awareness and education to our diverse communities and educates young athletes and coaches on the risks of concussions. Meridian was also pleased to welcome Noelle McNeil as Community Ambassador. As a survivor of a traumatic brain injury she takes the time to meet with families throughout Meridian who have a loved one affected by a brain injury, offering them hope and encouragement. You can read more about Noelle at www.noellesdefiningmoments.com. Meridian Neuroscience physicians performed life-changing surgeries for patients with Parkinsons, herniated discs and lumbar spinal stenosis. Meridian Pediatric Network -------------------------- Meridian is continuously addressing and meeting the needs of our youngest patients. From educating students on healthy choices with Doctor Bernards Pawsitive Action Team to expanding the capacity of K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Meridian Pediatric Network is providing access to more than 100 pediatric specialists and the full continuum of care for children in Monmouth and Ocean counties. With the opening of the Pediatric Care Center at Bayshore Community Hospital and Southern Ocean Medical Centers planned opening in late 2012, Meridian Pediatric Network extends its touch points providing seamless and coordinated care to families throughout the region. In 2011, Meridians Community Health Needs Assessment survey has once again highlighted asthma as an issue in our communities. That is why Meridian Pediatric Network has been active in educating parents and children about asthma. In the past three years, Hopscotch's Healthy You program has reached grade school students in Neptune, Red Bank and Brick approximately 1,000 children. Meridian is engaging with moms, too. From their maternity experience at our hospitals to their childrens development, moms are logging on to MeridianMomtourage.com, an online destination providing local moms with resources from our physician experts, tips from local Mom bloggers, and an online community of mothers who are sharing and connecting with Meridian Health in a new way. Youll also find Christie Rampone, Olympic gold medalist and spokesperson for K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital, on Meridian Momtourage talking about her journey as a mom and a pro- athlete.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	Jersey Shore University Medical Center -------------------------------------- Training the Physicians of Tomorrow ----------------------------------- The academic programs at Jersey Shore University Medical Center had outstanding achievements related to quality in 2011. All of our sponsored graduate medical education programs received maximum accreditation by their respective accrediting agencies. Currently, there are 96 residents that are part of our core training programs of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. Our continuing medical education program was re-accredited by the Medical Society of New Jersey for four years. Finally, a new residency program was established in Clinical Pharmacy, and will provide a pipeline of new providers to Meridian Health. Cardiovascular Network Treatment and Technology ----------------------------------------------- Jersey Shore currently has one of the regions most complete and coordinated heart and cardiovascular care programs. From lifesaving angioplasty to one of the states largest cardiac surgery centers to vascular labs and a leading Heart Rhythm Center, our experienced heart and vascular experts offer options others simply cant. In 2011, Jersey Shore performed 780 cardiac surgeries the most in the region. Our team treats not only traditional open-heart surgery cases, but also provides new therapies like the Edwards SAPIEN Valve, for high-risk patients with limited surgical options, and the Impella - the worlds smallest heart pump. Openings Abound! ---------------- Even after one hundred years, Jersey Shore continues to evolve to meet the growing needs of the community. Throughout 2011, Jersey Shore celebrated the opening of several new and enhanced services and facilities. - The Meridian Transfer Center at Jersey Shore offers a streamlined patient transfer process for providers from other hospitals and referring facilities. Supported by a centralized team of nurses and an Alert Ambulance dispatcher, the transfer center coordinates all the logistics required to transfer a patient in one phone call, including the transmission of electronic medical records. - The Center for Wound Healing opened at Jersey Shore, offering the most advanced care in wound healing, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The Center is led by an integrated panel of health care providers including physicians, podiatrists and nurse practitioners. - A new Inpatient Dialysis Unit now offers 11 treatment stations, providing more patient comforts and advanced technology. - Meridian Rehabilitation at Neptune is dedicated to improving the quality of life for those facing challenges due to injury or illness. A health care team works closely with patients, families, and physicians to create an individualized treatment plan, and helps patients through the recovery process. The center offers a specialized pediatric rehabilitation program through K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital. Jersey Shore Receives National Achievement Award from The American College of Surgeons ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons granted its Outstanding Achievement Award to Jersey Shore. The CoC Outstanding Achievement Award (OAA) recognizes cancer programs that strive for excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients and is granted to only 106 programs in the nation. Clinical Decision Unit: An Innovative Approach to Patient Care Most patients who come to an Emergency Department are treated and released; some clearly require hospitalization. For a small number of patients the decision is less clear. To handle these patients in the safest, most efficient manner, Jersey Shore has established a Clinical Decision Unit. Here specially trained nurses work closely with physicians to resolve clinical problems or clarify the need for admission. Growing with Our Children ------------------------- With a 40% increase in pediatric acute care cases, weve expanded K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital by adding a second acute care pediatric unit, which provides an additional 14 private rooms, increasing the total pediatric acute care capacity to 44 beds and the number of private pediatric beds from 6 to 20. The area features a new playroom, family area and procedure room. In addition, a new 25,000 square foot Pediatric Specialty Care Center serves as a consolidated outpatient center for Meridian Pediatric Associates. The comfortable and modern space includes seven clinical suites and 40 exam rooms for faculity in 12 specialties, including dentistry, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology/oncology, infant apnea, infectious disease, nephrology, neurology, pulmonology, sports medicine, child evaluation, and child protection services. With the additions of the second acute care pediatric unit, and the Pediatric Specialty Care Center, K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital is one of the largest pediatric programs in the state. Partnering with a Community for Better Health --------------------------------------------- K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital recently celebrated the second anniversary of The Wellness Center at Midtown Community School, an onsite medical facility that provides preventive health care services for students. The Wellness Center, a concept resulting from an innovative partnership between the Childrens Hospital and the Neptune school district, has been well received in the community.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	Orthopedic Excellence --------------------- Ocean Medical Centers orthopedic services expanded with a new Sports Injury Care Program organized out of the Ocean Care Center in Point Pleasant. Patients seen in the Ocean Care Center for a sports injury can experience the seamless benefit of receiving a priority appointment with a sports medicine fellowship trained orthopedic specialist within 48 hours of their emergency visit. Improving the Patient Experience -------------------------------- Ocean Medical Center has always been focused on patient satisfaction, but 2011 took things to a new level. Building upon historical success, new initiatives were introduced to advance patient care and drive growth. For example, Ocean Medical Center was the first hospital in the country to launch Care Calls, an innovative way to leverage modern communication technology and respond to guest concerns. By receiving a text or voice message, managers can respond to patient or family concerns while they are still in the hospital and remedy a situation on the spot. Paired with focused efforts like welcome ambassadors in the emergency department and same day surgery, patient satisfaction scores have shown a positive improvement trend. Excellence in Womens Health ---------------------------- Offering the finest resources to the members of our community is a priority at Ocean Medical Center, especially when it comes to womens health. This was apparent when the medical center recruited a fellowship trained breast surgical oncologist. The medical center has maintained an equally diligent focus on providing exceptional services that play a pivotal role in the prevention and detection of breast cancer. In fact, the Womens Imaging Pavilion at Ocean Medical Center was designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR) in 2011. This acknowledges the high practice standards in image quality, personnel qualifications, facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs. Overall, 37 new physicians joined Oceans medical staff in the past year. These new physicians fill a clear need within the community and bring expertise in areas such as internal and family medicine, geriatrics, ob/gyn, pediatrics, colorectal surgery, general surgery, nephrology and orthopedics. Several of these physicians specialize in cancer care and are accelerating the oncology program development at Ocean Medical Center. Groundbreaking Milestone Brings New Emergency Department Closer to Reality Months of planning reached a milestone as Southern Ocean Medical Center broke ground for its new emergency department on October 25. Meridian and Southern Ocean Medical Center leaders donned hard hats and lifted shovels to officially kick off the construction of the $20 million dollar expansion project - the largest building project in the history of the Medical Center. The new facility when completed in 2013 will more than triple the size of Southern Oceans current emergency department. In addition to extensive renovations in the existing space, the emergency department will grow from 8,800 square feet to 29,000 square feet. The new design features 42 larger private bays as well as expanded triage and fast track areas. Space has been designed just for behavioral health patients that will be discreet, separate, and secure. In addition, a five-bed pediatric care center will provide top-quality care for pediatric emergencies and for children recovering from surgery, as well as routine medical issues. This dramatic expansion and renovation project will transform the way emergency care is delivered in southern Ocean County. Advancing Technology to Improve the Patient Experience ------------------------------------------------------ Southern Ocean Medical Center installed a new state-of-the-art MRI system in 2011. The Signa whole body imaging MRI system is a high-performance machine with advanced applications, which include shorter scan time. This advanced technology provides physicians with more information, more quickly, which translates to more comfort and convenience for patients. Southern Ocean Medical Center Finds Its NICHE --------------------------------------------- Southern Ocean Medical Center was designated a NICHE site for the second year in a row. NICHE stands for Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders and the program is run by the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing, New York University College of Nursing. This prestigious designation is given to hospitals that demonstrate dedication to improving the quality of care we provide to geriatric patients. Nurses are caring every day for geriatric patients who often have multiple health challenges. The geriatric expertise they offer patients is invaluable. Meridian Health Nursing Homes Are Seeing Stars ---------------------------------------------- For the second year in a row, Meridian Healths Holmdel, Shrewsbury, and Ocean Grove sub-acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities received a 5-star ranking in the U.S. News & World Report annual Best Nursing Homes ratings. U.S. News recognizes top rated nursing homes in all 50 states and offers important guidance to families and healthcare providers caring for people in need of a home. Rehabilitation Certified Again ------------------------------ In 2011, Meridian Sub-Acute Rehabilitation at Wall was re-accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). This accreditation signifies the facility has met the rigorous CARF standards for providing top-quality services and the best rehabilitation care. Meridian At Home: Elite to the Fourth Degree -------------------------------------------- In 2011, Meridian At Home was named for the fourth consecutive year to the HomeCare Elite [tm] listing, ranking them as part of the top 25 percent of agencies in the nation. The listing is developed annually by a nationally recognized home care organization and is based on a market-leading review of agencies across the country. The three factors that determine an agencys status include quality of care, quality improvement, and Financial performance. Meridian Health Affiliated Foundations -------------------------------------- Meridian Health Affiliated Foundations received nearly $13 million in contributions and more than $1 million in grants during 2011, and was distinguished as one of 20 healthcare system foundations throughout the country as a high performer by the Association of Healthcare Philanthropy. In addition, Friends of the Foundation, Meridian Healths most prestigious donor giving circle, launched at all 5 campuses, recognizing our most prominent donors when they are in our facilities. Because of our generous donors, we are able to invest in new programs, facilities and technologies, such as: - Cardiology programs and services at Jersey Shore University Medical Center - New surgical suites at Riverview Medical Center - Advanced urology equipment at Ocean Medical Center - A Pediatric Emergency Department at K. Hovananian Children's Hospital - Emergency Department expansion project at Southern Ocean Medical Center MERIDIAN'S 2011 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM OR ON REQUEST THROUGH ANY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES.
