Form990 Schedule H Part VI Form990ScheduleHPartVI (15 entries)

ExplanationExplanation	IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference
Part I, Line 3c: The Methodist Hospital uses Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) and other information to determine eligibility for providing free care and discounted care to low income individuals.
Part I, Line 6a: The Methodist Hospital System (the "System", The Methodist Hospital is the flagship hospital of the System) prepares an annual community benefit report which is made available to the public. This report includes charity care and community benefits provided by The Methodist Hospital and four other related acute care community hospitals in Harris County and in neighboring Fort Bend County, Texas.
Part I, Line 7: The costing methodology used to calculate the amounts reported in the Table in Part I was a cost to charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 (Ratio of Patient Care Cost to Charges), as provided in the instructions to Form 990 Schedule H.
Part I, Line 7g: The Methodist Hospital has not reported any subsidized health services in Part I, line 7(g).
Part II: The Methodist Hospital has not reported any community building activities in Part II, lines 1-10.
Part III, Line 4: The text of the footnote that describes bad debt expense from the audited consolidated financial statements of The Methodist Hospital System, which includes The Methodist Hospital, is as follows: Uncollectible, uncompensated care generally represents standard charges that are unrealizable due to an unwillingness to pay by those responsible for payment (bad debt).Uncollectible, uncompensated care is reported as a deduction from gross patient revenue. The costing methodology used in determining the amount of bad debt expense (at cost) reported on line 2 (no amount was reported on line 3) was derived from applying the ratio of patient care cost to charges (from Worksheet 2, line 11) to bad debt attributable to patient accounts.
Part III, Line 8: Medicare allowable costs were derived from The Methodist Hospital's filed Medicare Cost Reports for the year ended December 31, 2012. The entire Medicare shortfall ($78.4 million) as reported in Part III, line 7, as well as the unreimbursed cost of the Medicare managed care program ($13.8 million), and TRICARE programs ($1.6 million ), should be treated as a community benefit, since these shortfalls, or subsidies, reduce the federal government's burden in providing health care to Medicare beneficiaries.
Part III, Line 9b: The Methodist Hospital System has a written bad debt collection policy; however, no collection efforts are put forth for patients who are known to qualify for financial assistance under the charity care policy.Part V, Section B-Lines 1 through 8 The Methodist Hospital has not completed this section since it is optional for the 2012 Schedule H Form 990.Part V, Section B, Line 14g:The Methodist Hospital provides notice of charitable assistance using a variety of means. A notice is published in the Patient Guide provided to patients at the time of check-in which informs patients that a copy of our financial assistance policies can be viewed by calling the customer service line. This notice is also displayed on signs in each check-in lobby area. The notice to contact customer service is also available on the hospital's website.Part V, Section B-Line 16 The Methodist Hospital does not take any actions (e.g., reporting to credit agency, lawsuits, liens on residences, body attachments nor any other similar actions) against an individual.Part V, Section B-Line 20d The Methodist Hospital charges FAP-Eligible patients the same as all other patients, however, a discount is provided in accordance with the financial assistance policy. This discount is greater than the discount provided to non-FAP-Eligible patients.
Part VI, Line 2: The Methodist Hospital System utilized several different methods to identify its Community Health priorities (health care needs) of the communities it serves. These methods include but are not limited to the review of the Texas Institute of Health Policy research community data; Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services community data; TexasState Data Center and Office of the State Demographer; Texas Department of State Health Services; Texas Cancer Registry; Center for Disease Control and Prevention; community advisory group committee reports for nonprofit clinics and agencies (e.g., Harris County Healthcare Alliance Primary Health Needs Assessment); Texas Department of Public Health selected health data; and community health status report for Harris, Liberty, Fort Bend, Chambers, Brazoria, Galveston and Montgomery counties. Additionally, The Methodist Hospital System performs an annual Community Health Needs Assessment that evaluates the population of The Methodist Hospital service area by looking at demographics, current health characteristics in the community and access to healthcare. Resources used to assess the health priorities for the Community Health Needs Assessment include but are not limited to Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; The State of Health 2012; Health of Houston Survey and many other sources.
Part VI, Line 3: Financial Assistance is provided in multiple locations within The Methodist Hospital System; at the point of registration, during case management and at the time of collections post discharge. Every check-in location has information posted in both English and Spanish stating how the patient can access financial assistance. Additionally, this information is posted on The Methodist Hospital System website and is included in the patient guide provided to the patient at the time of registration. The Methodist Hospital System financial counselors actively seek all uninsured inpatients and outpatients with scheduled services for a personal visit. During these visits, the financial counselors will screen the patient for financial assistance and will provide the patient with the financial assistance application. The patient will then be provided a list of resources with contact information should the patient require further assistance in completing the application. The Methodist Hospital System utilizes an eligibility partner to work closely with patients to quality for State and Federal assistance programs (e.g., Medicaid, SCHIP, Crime Victims, etc.). This eligibility partner will meet with all uninsured inpatients to discuss State and Federal assistance programs; where the patient is not eligible for these programs, The Methodist Hospital System's internal financial assistance program is introduced. The Methodist Hospital System's case management unit works closely with the patient during patient discharge management to ensure the patient is introduced to all resources that may be needed post discharge (e.g., home health, skilled nursing, etc.). The case management unit works with the patient to qualify the patient and to gain access to these resources. Additionally, the case management unit works closely with the financial counselors when the patient is identified as having a need for financial assistance.The Methodist Hospital System's patient accounting unit works closely with all uninsured patients post discharge during the billing and collections process. The Methodist Hospital System's collections personnel will verbally screen patients for financial assistance during collection calls; where applicable, the patient will be sent a financial assistance application either in English or Spanish. Additionally, all billing statements provide the patient with a phone number for customer service to obtain payment options. The Methodist Hospital System utilizes outside collection assistance, for both early out and bad debt collections. Each collection agency must adhere to The Methodist Hospital System's financial assistance policy and philosophy during all communication and collection events with The Methodist Hospital System patients. The Methodist Hospital System's financial assistance application is reviewed periodically; additionally, The Methodist Hospital System personnel are provided with educational inservices in the administering of the financial assistance policy as needed.

Explanation	SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 1A: Travel for Companions Methodist requires all employees including officers to provide written substantiation of all expenses related to their business travel through the provision of detailed receipts in order to receive approval from their direct superiors for reimbursement in accordance with our corporate policy on travel and other business expenses. In 2012, the President/CEO had 3 trips approved for attendance at out of state meetings where it was deemed appropriate by the Chair of our Board that the attendance of the President/CEO's spouse (and the related expenses for her travel to these meetings) was integral to conducting effective Methodist business at these meetings. Health or Social Club Dues As stipulated by the employment contract of the CEO, he is entitled to annual membership in the Houston City Club paid for by The Methodist Hospital in support of Methodist related business development activities. This amount is not included in the taxable income of the CEO as it directly relates to the hospital's tax exempt business purpose. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 4A: The Methodist Hospital System has a formal severance plan. Eligible employees include all staff including hourly staff up through senior vice presidents provided they work at least 20 hours per week and are not otherwise covered by a physician employment agreement. The plan only provides salary and benefits in the event an eligible employee is involuntarily terminated due to the elimination of their position or if their current position is significantly impacted by an organizational restructuring or change in requirement and a comparable position is not available within the organization. The eligible person must also sign a termination agreement in order to receive salary continuation and benefits under the plan to which they would not normally be eligible to receive under a voluntary resignation. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 4B: The Methodist Hospital has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, a non-qualified employer funded plan. Contributions are made annually into a tax deferred account and are considered taxable upon vesting (i.e. completion of three years of vesting service). Once vested, each year's subsequent contribution is taxable within the calendar year in which the deposit was made. Account balances cannot be accessed until retirement or termination (whichever occurs first) and may be subject to non-revocable distribution options selected upon employment. Pursuant to Treasury Reg Section 1 6033-2(D)(5), The Methodist Hospital has elected to report information about contributions, gifts & grants, compensation and other information about Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, Former Employees, certain other highly paid employees, certain professional contractors and certain other contractors on a consolidated basis for all of the members of the group, including the parent organization, on the Group Return of Methodist Hospital Group, EIN 35-2410801. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, QUESTION 7: This organization provides variable compensation opportunity through an annual management incentive plan. Executives at the Assistant Vice President level and above may be eligible to participate. The annual incentive program is based on system and operating entity level performance in the areas of quality improvement outcomes, patient satisfaction and financial performance. In addition, a portion of the payout percentage is based on goals that are specific to the participants' management roles at the division or department level including but not limited to such metrics as operating results, quality and safety improvements, customer satisfaction measures, growth and innovation initiatives. Determination of a participant's percentage of the potential bonus payout (paid as a percent of base salary) is based on whether the individual attains agreed upon goals for their area of responsibility as determined by their immediate supervisor.

Schedule K - Part II, Line 13 (Issues A through E)	All outstanding bonds of the Methodist Hospital as of 12-31-12 are refunding bonds. The Methodist Hospital assumes that Line 13 does not address refunding bonds.
Part III,Line 4 (Issue D)	The reported private use percentage of 3.7% has been calculated on the portion of the Series 2009A-B refunding bonds that refunded the Series 2006C bonds issued in the amount of $100,000,000. The remaining amount of the Series 2009A-B bonds that refunded bonds issued prior to December 31, 2002 in the amount of $49,993,979 were excluded from determining the reported 3.7% private use calculation for 2012.
Part III,Line 4 (Issue E)	The reported private use percentage of 1.8% has been calculated on the portion of the Series 2009C refunding bonds that refunded the Series 2005A bonds issued in the amount of $350,000,000.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1	The Executive Committee consists of the officers who are members of the Board of Directors as defined in the Bylaws; the Resident Bishop; and one Physician Director. In the event of an emergency when there is insufficient time to convene the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee has and may exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation in such a manner as the Executive Committee may deem to be in the best interest of the Corporation in all cases in which specific directions have been given by the Board of Directors, provided any action which the Committee may take does not conflict with the mission of the Corporation and the policies and directives of the Board of Directors. The Chairperson of the Board of Directors, upon the calling of any Executive Committee meeting, as the first item of business, is required to state the nature of the emergency and the fact that there was insufficient time to convene the Board of Directors, which is recorded in the minutes before any action is deemed valid and on behalf of the Board of Directors. Vacancies in the membership of said Committee are filled by appointment of the Chairperson and approval by the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee meets upon the call of the Chairperson. The Committee keeps regular minutes of its proceedings and forthwith delivers by mail, facsimile, email, or in person, a written report of the same to all members of the Board of Directors. All Acts or resolutions of the Executive Committee are subject to the approval of, or revision by, the Board of Directors, but no rights of third parties are affected by any such revision. The Secretary of the Corporation acts as Secretary of the Executive Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a	The Texas Annual Conference of the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church ("Conference") elects the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b	The Conference has the authority to approve any amendments to the following provisions of The Methodist Hospital's Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation: i) the provision that the Conference elects all Directors of this organization from nominees recommended by the committee on Nominations of the Conference based on nominations made by the Board of Directors, (ii) the provision that a sufficient number of Directors be members of The United Methodist Church to comply with the membership requirements set forth in the Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church, (iii) the provision that four Methodist Ministers, including the Resident Bishop be members of the Board of Directors, (iv) the provision that the Board of Directors shall consist of no more than twenty-six and no fewer than fifteen members, or (v) the provision that amend the purpose clauses (Article II and VI) of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or the dissolution clause (Article VII) of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11	Management, including certain Officers, works diligently to complete the Form 990 and attached schedules ("return") in a thorough manner. The return is prepared by a Paid Preparer. Prior to filing the return, Board members are provided a copy of the Form 990 (including required schedules), and management team members are available to answer any Board Members' questions.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	All Individuals serving in a significant decision making capacity complete a Conflict of Interest (COI) questionnaire annually. A comprehensive evaluation and thorough review of all disclosures is performed by a 6-member COI Committee comprised of executives, management, and staff. The results of the COI disclosures are reported to the Audit & Compliance Committee and The Methodist Hospital Board of Directors, including the actions being taken to protect the integrity of decision-making. In addition, disclosure results are also communicated to management and to affected committee chairs to promote transparency and to ensure that actions are taken and restrictions are imposed where appropriate. Conflicted individuals may not vote or exert self-serving influence on the disclosed matter.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	This organization follows IRS regulations as it relates to establishing a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness related to total compensation of key employees and compensated officers of the organization listed below. It has established a process that includes the following elements: A separate committee (the Board Committee) comprised of independent directors meets at least annually to review, deliberate and make recommendations to the Board as it relates to any changes in total compensation including base pay, bonus awards from incentive programs or benefits and perquisites of the CEO and other officers and some key employees (typically those who report directly to the CEO). The Board Committee establishes that no member has any conflict of interest with regard to the executive compensation arrangements being approved. The Board Committee reviews and considers information provided by an external consultant engaged to ensure it has direct access to: - Compensation information paid by comparable organizations, for functionally comparable positions. - Compensation norms in the organization's immediate locale and from other independent compensation surveys by nationally recognized independent firms that represent the organization's logical peer group; - Compensation information that includes information on base salary, incentives, benefits and perquisites for total compensation comparison purposes to ensure reasonable competitive ranking. The committee relies on the comparability data to reach consensus that its recommendations to the Board regarding executive compensation changes are reasonable and in line with this organization's overall total compensation philosophy for executive pay. The deliberation and decisions of the committee are contemporaneously substantiated. The compensation for positions held by Key Employees not included in the process above, is determined based on a thorough review of numerous compensation studies conducted by nationally recognized, independent firms that provide market data for total compensation for similar positions. The compensation information considered includes information on base salary, incentives, and benefits for total compensation purposes to ensure reasonable competitive ranking in order to meet recruitment and retention objectives that secure the talent required to contribute to organizational success.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19	The governing documents (except for the Articles of Incorporation, which are on file with the Secretary of the State of Texas), conflict of interest policy, and financial statements of the organization are not made available to the general public.
Part VII, Section A	The Methodist Hospital has elected to report compensation for individual Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, Former Employees, and certain other highly paid employees on a consolidated basis on the Group Return of Methodist Hospital Group, EIN 35-2410801.
