| Explanation | The following is a footnote from the combined financial statements of Wellstar Health System, Inc. and Affiliates related to the reporting of the organization's liability for uncertain tax positions under FIN 48. "Wellstar and all but one of its affiliates have been recognized as exempt from Federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (a) as organizations described in Section 501 (c) (3) and therefore, related income is generally not subject to Federal or state income tax. Community Assurance Corportion is a controlled foreign corporation not subject to Federal tax. Wellstar applies FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which addresses accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions. It also provides guidance on when tax positions are recognized in an entity's financial statements and how the values of these positions are determined. There is no impact on Wellstar's combined financial statements as a result of the application of ASC 740." | Explanation |

| Publication of Community Benefit Report | Sch H Part I Line 6a | Cobb Hospital, Inc. is an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc. which on an annual basis issues a community benefit report. This report is subsequently distributed in and around the five county service area of the health system. |
| Cost to Charge Ratio | Sch H Part I Line 7 | For purposes of the IRS Form 990 Schedule H, Wellstar Health System and Affiliates (including Cobb Hospital) have estimated the current year cost to charge ratio for each hospital as it is reported in the annual community benefit report and as it will be reported in the state's Annual Hospital Financial Survey. |
| Footnote on Bad Debt and Rationale for Community Benefit | Sch H Part III Line 4 | The following footnote is detailed in the Wellstar Health System, Inc. and Affiliates Financial Statements related to bad debt or uncollectible accounts: "During 2011, Wellstar adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update (2011-07), Healthcare Entities (Topic 954). ASU 2011-07 requires the reclassification of the provision for uncollectible accounts associated with patient service revenue from an operating expense to a deduction from patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts)." " Wellstar recognizes patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients with third-party payor coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services rendered. For uninsured patients that do not qualify for community financial aid, Wellstar recognizes revenue on the basis of its discounted rates for services provided. On the basis of historical experience, a significant portion of Wellstar's uninsured patients are unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided. Thus, Wellstar records a significant provision for uncollectible accounts related to uninsured patients in the period the services are provided." Subsequent to the end of the reporting period a propensity to pay review of patient accounts often results in prior year bad debt accounts which are deemed eligible for the organization's financial assistance policy. Those bad debt accounts are reclassified as charity and thus our rationale for including in community benefit. |
| Medicare Shortfalls | Schedule H Part III Line 8 | Cobb Hospital is a provider of inpatient and outpatient services to Medicare program beneficiaries at determined rates. Without the participation in the Medicare program these patients may not have had convenient access to those services. The Medicare shortfall on line 7 represents the uncompensated difference between the expected reimbursement and the Medicare charges for those services stated at cost. We determine a cost to charge ratio for Medicare patients as part of the annual filing of the Medicare cost report. |
| Collection Practices | Schedule H Part III Sec C Line 9b | The policy written for collection practices that applies to all Wellstar Health System entities incorporates guidelines for personnel in the admissions and patient access areas to be trained in identifying patients that might qualify for financial assistance. It is also the policy of all Wellstar facilities to have at least one employee or contractor available at all times, especially in the hospitals with emergency rooms, who can provide assistance with the paperwork necessary to help patients who would qualify for governmental and other assistance programs. |
| Hospital Description | Schedule H Part V | Cobb Hospital is a general acute care hospital providing a full range of services, is licensed to operate 382 beds, and is presently staffed to operate 370 beds. It is located on an approximately 55-acre campus in Austell, Georgia and is housed within a complex of connected buildings containing a total square footage in excess of 450,000 square feet. The original hospital was constructed in 1968 and major structural additions have been made in several phases since that time. The hospital provides medical, surgical, obstetrical, pediatric, rehabilitative, and psychiatric inpatient care and outpatient care, including emergency services. The Cobb Hospital Women's Center operates 20 labor and delivery rooms, 40 post partum rooms, 6 antipartum rooms and a resource center and classrooms offering educational opportunities. |
| Needs Assessment | Schedule H Part VI Line 2 | Wellstar Health System (and affiliates) is a key stakeholder in MAPP, Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships. MAPP, developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) in collaboration with the CDC, provides a structured guidance on creating and implementing a community-wide strategic planning process focused on improving the health and safety of our population. Through MAPP, a broad collection of community partners and residents come together to identify and prioritize health and safety issues and to identify resources for addressing them. The process results in an actionable community health improvement plan (CHIP) for measurable improvements in the community's health and quality of life as well as a scorecard for implementation and evaluation. The resulting community plan does not focus on one agency or community health challenge; rather, MAPP provides a long-term strategy that addresses the multiple factors that affect health in the community. Community involvement throughout the creation and the implementation of a health improvement plan results in creative solutions to community health problems with an improved focus on priorities, reduced duplication of services, increased collaboration on projects and activities, and increased capacity to garner additional resources. Moreover, continous community involvement leads to community ownership of the process. Community ownership, in turn, increases the credibility and sustainability of the health improvement efforts. |
| Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance | Sch H Part VI Line 3 | Cobb Hospital provides its patients with hospital personnel or contracted personnel who are trained in all aspects of governmental programs, payments plans, charity discounts, and other financial assistance offered to assist them in their hospital bills. If the patient is eligible for federal or state assistance programs, a staff member is knowledgeable in the steps necessary to qualify those individuals. If a patient is indigent or charity eligible they will be offered assistance through the hospital's charity and indigent care policy including the state's indigent care trust fund. If the patient has no other insurance and fails to qualify for indigent care assistance, the financial counselor can then offer the patient an opportunity to accept a payment plan with discounted payment options based on their ability to pay immediately or over time. All patient are afforded these opportunities. |
| Community Information | Sch H Part VI Line 4 | Cobb Hospital is one of five hospitals that are affiliated with the parent corporation, Wellstar Health System. The primary service area of the system is located in the Northwest Georgia area and receives the majority of its patients from one of five counties (Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas, Bartow and Paulding). Generally about 85% to 90% of the patient volume comes from this service area although other health systems have a presence in the area as well. Demographically the region is one of the fastest growing in the state as well as the country and the expansion of the services for the patient population reflects a desire to offer healthcare "closer to home" since Wellstar is considered a part of a larger metropolitan Atlanta market. Economically the region is strong in per capita income but given recent trends a rise in the uninsured and indigent population has occured. |
| Affiliated Health System Role | Schedule H Part VI Line 7 | As stated in the Wellstar Health System, Inc and Affiliates audited financial statments for the period ended June 30, 2011, Cobb Hospital (an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc.) operates as a charitable organization consistent with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Sect 501 (c) (3) and the "community benefit standard" of IRS Ruling 69-545. In this regard the governing body of the organization and/or its parent is composed of prominent citizens in the community, medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualifed physicians in the area consistent with the size and nature of the facility; the hospital operates a full-time emergency room open to all regardless of ability to pay; and the hospital provides care to the needy members of the community consistent with its charity care policy. The hospital's excess funds are genrally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of indebtedness, improvement fo patient care, community benefit activities, and charity care. Cobb Hospital committed approximately $21.2 million in capital expenditures for the year to meet those needs. |

| 990 T Explanation of Filing | Form 990 Part V Line 3 | Cobb Hospital generated no unrelated business income for the reporting period. As a result the attached 990T shows no activity. If subsequent review of the books reveals any unreported UBI we will file an amended return for the tax period ended June 30, 2011. |
| Form 990 Copy to Board of Directors | Form 990 Part VI Line 11A | Internal staff prepare the organization's Form 990. Before filing the return with the Internal Revenue Service an external accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, reviews and sign-offs on the completed return. The current year Form 990 is then reviewed by the Finance Committee along with a question and answer session. A motion is then made by the Finance committee to approve the returns and present to the full board copies of the forms in an electronic (pdf. format) version as well as a hard copy . The organization's CFO or designee subsequently signs the return for either manual or electronic filing by the appropriate due date. |
| Conflict of Interest Policy | Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 12 a-c | Our conflict of interest policy requires all covered persons to annually review the policy and then complete, sign and return the Conflicts of Interest Survey and Attestation to the Compliance Office. The policy requires an on-going disclosure obligation in the event a conflict arises during the year. The following is our process to regularly and consistently monitor and enforce this policy: Compliance identifies all covered persons who must complete the survey and attestation. Compliance verifies that the survey and attestation is distributed to these persons. Compliance verifies that these persons return a fully completed and signed survey and attestation. Compliance reviews each completed and signed survey and attestation to identify all conflicts listed in the document. All conflicts, potential conflicts and incidences of non-compliance are referred to the Chief Compliance Officer. The CCO takes appropriate action to completely resolve all identified conflicts and incidences of non-compliance. |
| Process for determining Exec Compensation | Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 15A & B | Wellstar engages the Hay Group to work with the governing board to review and recommend executive compensation. The executive compensation process at Wellstar is overseen by a committee of independent trustees, which follows a board-approved executive compensation philosophy. The current members of the Wellstar committee are: Pete Wood Janie Maddox Al Separk Board Chairman--Ex Officio CEO--Ex Officio In committtee discussions about the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, the acting CEO will recuse himself from that process but is a non-voting committee member for discussions on all other officers. The executive compensation philosophy empowers the committee to oversee the executive compensation process and administer the executive compensation program on behalf of the full board of trustee of Wellstar; provided, however, the full Board of Trustees evaluates and approves the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The philosophy requires annual disclosure of the committee's actions and decisions to the full board, which it has done. The committee is guided by the board-approved philosophy. Overall, the philosophy is intended to reward for organizational and individual performance. When performance is at a predetermined targeted level, the compensation is intended to be at or around the median of compensation paid to similar positions at similar organizations (the "market"). Wellstar's executive compensation philosophy defines the market as being comprised of comparable not-for-profit health care delivery systems, i.e., not-for-profit organizations similar in complexity and scale to Wellstar. To assist the committee in fulfilling its duties, the committee engaged the Hay Group to provide market compensation data to compare to the Wellstar positions whose compensation the committee oversees. The committee uses this data to provide context when making decisions in administering the compensation program. Accurate minutes of the committee's discussion and decisions are recorded during each committee meeting, and reviewed and approved at the following committee meeting. |
