IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	THE INCOME BASED CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY IS PER NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 10:52 SUB CHAPTERS 11, 12 AND 13, AND BASED UPON THE 2012 POVERTY GUIDELINES (DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES). FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ARE INCLUDED IN THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY AND DISCOUNTED CARE.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	NOT APPLICABLE.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	NO COSTS RELATING TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PHYSICIAN CLINICS. WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED FOR THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II	SHORE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL D/B/A SHORE MEDICAL CENTER IS PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE CALL HOME. OUR GENEROUS MEDICAL CENTER STAFF HAVE PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS EVENTS THAT SUPPORT AND EXEMPLIFY THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO CARE FOR AND RESPECT, ALL PATIENTS THEIR FAMILIES AND EACH OTHER. ALONG WITH THE SUPERIOR CARE THAT WE DELIVER EVERY DAY, WE STRIVE TO EDUCATE AND PROMOTE WELLNESS TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE MANY OUTREACH PROGRAMS WE OFFER. MORE RECENTLY, THE MEDICAL CENTER BECAME THE FIRST HOSPITAL IN NEW JERSEY AND ONE OF LESS THAN 50 ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE TO RECEIVE PLANETREE PATIENT-CENTERED CARE DESIGNATION. THE PLANETREE MODEL OF CARE IS A PATIENT-CENTERED, HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE, PROMOTING MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL HEALING. WE HOPE TO EMPOWER OUR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION TO ULTIMATELY ENCOURAGE AND FOSTER HEALING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CAREGIVERS.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENT, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SHORE MEDICAL CENTER. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE/ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Patient accounts receivable result from the health care services provided by the Medical Center. The Medical Center provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the unwillingness of patients to make payments for services. The allowance is determined by analyzing historical data and trends. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when management determines that recovery is unlikely and the Medical Center ceases collection efforts. CHARITY CARE The Medical Center provides charity care to patients who meet certain financial criteria established by the State of New Jersey. The cost of services provided and supplies furnished under its charity care policy is estimated using internal data and is calculated based on the Medical Center's cost to charge ratio. The total direct and indirect amount of charity care provided, determined on the basis of cost, approximated $5,731,000 and $5,658,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The New Jersey Health Care Reform Act of 1992, Chapter 160, established the Health Care Subsidy Fund (HCSF) to provide a mechanism and funding source to compensate certain hospitals for charity care. For 2012 and 2011, the Medical Center recognized $1,306,779 and $1,041,452, respectively, as subsidies for charity care, which is included in net patient service revenue. Effective July 1, 2013, the State is preparing to replace the HCSF with a new payment mechanism referred to as the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Pool (the Pool). The Pool will be available to certain hospitals that are able to establish performance improvement activities in one of eight specified clinical improvement areas.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2012 MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE 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 INDIVIDUALS 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 ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. 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; T
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM AND ALL ITS MEDICAL CENTER AFFILIATES TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. FOR ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE "SELF-PAY" AND/OR ACCOUNTS WITH BALANCE AFTER PRIMARY INSURANCE PAYMENTS, THE COLLECTION POLICY REQUIRES: A MINIMUM OF ONE PRE-COLLECTION LETTER, TELEPHONE CONTACT FOR ANY ACCOUNT OVER $500 OR AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AND/OR SUPERVISOR. THE FACILITY ALSO HAS A CHARITY CARE ACCESS POLICY TO ASSURE PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE DETERMINED BY STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. IT IS THE POLICY TO INFORM ALL PATIENTS DEEMED SELF-PAY OF THE APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE. PATIENTS APPLYING FOR CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY SCREENED BY A RESOURCE ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY ACCORDING TO STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND WILL BE INFORMED OF DOCUMENTATION NEED TO COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION. PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE WILL BE FINANCIALLY COUNSELED FOR ALL OTHER OPTIONS. QUALIFIED PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES OR PROGRAMS TO MEET OTHER FINANCIAL NEEDS. AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT VISIT AND PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AT THE FACILITY, THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS: - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING MEDICAID AND SSI; - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND, - FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING: 1. CASH/CREDIT CARD (AMERICAN EXPRESS, DISCOVER, VISA, MASTERCARD), 2. LOW INTEREST LOAN PROGRAM, OR 3. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT PLANS. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE OPTIONS, THE FACILITY HAS ESTABLISHED A SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR OUR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID OR THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE SELF-PAY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RATES ARE REFLECTIVE OF MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT, AS REFERRED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	The steps taken in 2012 to ensure that the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was managed in a logical and effective manner included the following: (1) Identifying reputable guides and advice; (2) Engaging community representatives, especially those with public health expertise; (3) Defining the community that we serve; (4) Selecting quality data sources; (5) Reviewing and analyzing available information; and (6) Prioritizing the health and health-related problems. The guides and expert advice for the conducting the assessment included the following: (1) Educational Webinars by the New Jersey Hospital Association; (2) Guide for Planning & Reporting Community Benefit by Catholic Health Association; (3) Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) by the National Association of County & City Officials; and (4) Schedule H (Form 990) by the US Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service. In 2012, a series of meetings with public health experts from the following organizations were held: Atlantic City Department of Health, Atlantic County, Division of Public Health, Atlantic County Department of Corrections, Rutgers Cooperative Extension, Southern Jersey Family Medical Center, Stockton College of Continuing Studies, and United Way. Key quantitative sources of data were from the American Cancer Society, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, County Health Rankings, University of Wisconsin, New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, New Jersey Primary Care Association, and United States Census Bureau with new information from windshield surveys conducted by Nursing Students at Rowan University. An example of using portions of the CHNA data gathered in 2012: CHNA data: (1) the community has some of the highest smoking percentages in NJ with it estimated that 24% of adults in the community smoke equating to approx. 50,559 people and (2) cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in the community with a higher cancer death rate than NJ overall. Since it has been proven that smoking is a leading cause of cancer, this data supported the MEDICAL CENTER's commitment to maintain the Tobacco Prevention and Treatment Program throughout 2012 even though grant funding from the State for the program ceased in 2011.

PURSUANT TO ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES, SHORE PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY.

THE OPERATIONS OF SHORE, AS SHOWN THROUGH THE FACTORS OUTLINED ABOVE AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THAT THE USE AND CONTROL OF SHORE IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC AND THAT NO PART OF THE INCOME OR NET EARNINGS OF THE ORGANIZATION INURES TO THE BENEFIT OF ANY PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL NOR IS ANY PRIVATE INTEREST BEING SERVED OTHER THAN INCIDENTALLY.

SHORE IS A 296 BED, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ACUTE CARE MEDICAL CENTER LOCATED IN SOMERS POINT, ATLANTIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES SOUTH OF ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY. SHORE IS LICENSED AND APPROVED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY TO OPERATE AS A GENERAL ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL PROVIDING BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. FOUNDED IN 1928 AND CHARTERED IN 1940 AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION, SHORE SERVES THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF BOTH THE YEAR-ROUND AND SUMMER RESIDENTS OF ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTIES, AS WELL AS VISITORS FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES AND STATES. SHORE HAS UNDERGONE MORE THAN FOURTEEN MAJOR CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION PROJECTS SINCE 1940 TO PROVIDE NECESSARY FACILITIES AND SERVICES FOR ITS EXPANDING PATIENT POPULATION. IN 2011 SHORE COMPLETED AND OPENED A FOUR-STORY 135,000 SQUARE FOOT SURGICAL AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES PAVILION TO MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND STAFF OF THE MEDICAL CENTER TOOK GREAT PRIDE IN PURSUING THIS ENDEAVOR DURING THE WORST ECONOMIC CLIMATE SEEN SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION, AS IT RESULTED IN COMPETITIVE RATES FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS AND FINANCING. THE PAVILION - WHICH INCLUDES STATE-OF-THE-ART OPERATING SUITES, CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING SERVICES, ENDOSCOPY SERVICES AND INFUSION THERAPY SUITES - POSITIONS SHORE AS THE REGION'S LEADING SURGICAL PROVIDER AND BENEFITS THE RESIDENTS OF ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTIES. SHORE ENGAGES THE TALENTS AND TEAMWORK OF THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY. OUR TEAM OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, TECHNOLOGISTS, MANAGERS, FINANCIAL EXPERTS, BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OUR AFFILIATES ALL WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS ACCESS TO THE BEST HEALTHCARE RESOURCES WHEN NEEDED. AND THE COMMUNITY HAS RESPONDED POSITIVELY TO OUR APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE DELIVERY. IN 2012 SHORE MEDICAL CENTER WAS HONORED AS BEST HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER IN THE PRESS OF ALTANTIC CITY'S READERS CHOICE AWARDS AND WAS NAMED A HOSPITAL OF THE YEAR FINALIST IN THE 2012 NJBIZ HEALTHCARE HEROES AWARD CEREMONY. THE PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY HAS ALSO TAKEN NOTICE OF SHORE. SHORE HAS BEEN ACCREDITED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION, THE NATION'S PREDOMINANT STANDARDS SETTING AND ACCREDITING BODY IN HEALTH CARE, AS A PRIMARY STROKE CENTER. SHORE WAS ALSO CERTIFIED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION FOR ITS SPINE SURGERY AND HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENT PROGRAMS IN RECOGNITION OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S STRICT ADHERENCE TO QUALITY STANDARDS. IN 2012, NEARLY 10,700 PATIENTS WERE ADMITTED TO THE MEDICAL CENTER, AND MORE THAN 46,500 WERE TREATED IN SHORE'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. COMMUNITY FOCUSED EDUCATION ============================ SHORE'S WELLNESS PROGRAM HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY, OFFERING HEALTH EDUCATION AND SCREENINGS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. IN 2012 THOUSANDS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS PARTICIPATED IN CLINICAL ENCOUNTERS, INCLUDING MORE THAN 300 BLOOD PRESSURES AND MORE THAN 1,000 ADDITIONAL HEALTH SCREENINGS SUCH AS VASCULAR AND GLUCOSE SCREENINGS. SHORE IS THE LEAD AGENCY FOR THE NJ CANCER EDUCATION AND EARLY DETECTION (CEED) PROGRAM FOR ATLANTIC COUNTY, PROVIDING CANCER SCREENING SERVICES AT CONVENIENT LOCATIONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE.

SHORE'S PHYSICIAN FINDER SERVICE IS FREE AND AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. THE SERVICE MATCHES A PERSON'S NEEDS SUCH AS SPECIALTY, LOCATION, INSURANCE AND OFFICE HOURS TO A SHORE MEDICAL STAFF PHYSICIAN. UNCOMPENSATED CARE ================== SHORE HAS LONG BEEN A REGIONAL LEADER IN MEETING ITS COMMITMENT TO THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO ITS COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS AND OBSTETRICAL CLINIC, THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE TO THOSE LEAST ABLE TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES. IN KEEPING WITH ITS MISSION TO CARE FOR PATIENTS, THE MEDICAL CENTER SERVES ALL WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. IN 2012 SHORE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $18.5 MILLION AT COST FOR MEDICAL SERVICES DELIVERED TO THESE PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL ONLY RECEIVED A STATE SUBSIDY OF APPROXIMATELY $1.3 MILLION TO OFFSET THIS AMOUNT. SHORE RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY IMPOSED ON THE SELF-PAY PATIENT WHO IS LEAST ABLE TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHEN BILLED AT THE MEDICAL CENTER'S STANDARD CHARGES. THEREFORE THE MEDICAL CENTER ESTABLISHED AN INNOVATIVE POLICY TO ADDRESS THE DISPARITY BETWEEN HOSPITAL-BILLED CHARGES AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THE SELF-PAY PATIENT OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENT. THE METHOD ADOPTED IS BASED UPON SOUND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS USING A KNOWN STANDARD DEVELOPED FOR THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE POLICY IS TO APPLY THE MOST CURRENT HOSPITAL SPECIFIC MEDICARE COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO THE SELF-PAY PATIENT'S TOTAL CHARGE BALANCE AND ADJUST THE BILL TO COST. THIS ADJUSTMENT IS LIMITED ONLY TO THOSE PATIENTS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. THIS RATIO IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS DETERMINED BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY THE COST ADJUSTED BILL IN FULL ARE PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO A HOSPITAL-APPROVED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE DETERMINED BASED UPON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PATIENT AND PAID OVER TIME USING OUR EXISTING PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT METHODOLOGY. AS A NON-PROFIT HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, IT IS SHORE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. IN 2012, THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDED MORE THAN $25 MILLION IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE, WHICH INCLUDES $20 MILLION IN BAD DEBT. SHORE IS COMMITTED TO THE COMMUNITY THAT IT SERVES. THE CHALLENGE OF MEETING THE HIGH COSTS OF PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DEDICATION OF PHYSICIANS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS.
