Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements, but the Foundation is required to file an annual information tax return. The Foundation is also required to review various tax positions it has taken with respect to its exempt status and determine whether in fact it is a tax exempt entity. The Foundation must also consider whether it has nexus in jurisdictions in which it has income and whether a tax return is required in those jurisdictions. In addition, as a tax exempt entity, the Foundation must assess whether it has any tax positions associated with unrelated business income subject to income tax. X 2 The Foundation does not expect its positions to change significantly over the next twelve months. Any penalties related to late filing or other requirements would be recognized as expense in the Foundations accounting records. X 2 The Foundation files U.S. federal Form 990 for informational purposes. The Foundations federal income tax returns for the tax years 2008 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Since its initial incorporation in 1924, the Foundation has been exempt from federal and state income tax under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code as a public charity operating a hospital. Due to its contribution of its hospital operations to the Partnership and its new grant making activities, it requested a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to confirm the continuation of its public charity status. X 2 The Service declined to issue such a ruling due to the number of similar transactions and issued a Revenue Ruling Rev. Rul. 98-15 defining the requirements for whole hospital joint ventures such as Rapides Health Services, LLC. The Service declined the Foundations request to examine its operations and enter into a closing agreement. X 2 After Rev. Rul. 98-15, two court cases focused on the control issue identified by the ruling as determinative of whether the joint venture jeopardized the exempt status of the exempt organization. One of these, St. Davids Health Care System, Inc. v. United States, involved facts very similar to those present in the Foundations ownership of the LLC, and was a victory for the exempt organization whose status had been challenged. Counsel for the Foundation has been at all relevant times and remains of the opinion that any challenge to the Foundations exempt status would be similarly decided. This opinion is bolstered by Rev. Rul. 2004-51, which, while addressing ancillary activity joint ventures, represents an acknowledgment by the Service that sufficient control may be maintained by the exempt partner in such a venture even though ownership and governance were shared 50-50 with the for-profit venturer. X 2 It should be noted that even if the Foundations public charity status should not continue, the Foundation believes that it would continue to be exempt from income tax under Section 501c3 of the Code as a private foundation. X 2 Private foundations are subject to more restrictions under the Code than are public charities. These restrictions include statutory prohibitions against self-dealing, excess business holdings, jeopardy investments, and taxable expenditures. In addition, private foundations are subject to an excise tax on their net investment income and are required to make annual distributions of five percent of the average market value of their non-charitable-use assets for charitable, educational, scientific, and similar purposes. Non-charitable-use assets are assets that are not used or held for use directly in carrying on the organizations exempt purpose they include assets held for investment and the production of investment income. Private foundations are required to publish a notice that their annual reports are available for inspection. X 2 These financial statements do not consider the effects of a possible retroactive determination by the Internal Revenue Service that the Foundation is not exempt from taxation or that it is a nonprofit private foundation. Such effects could include income taxes on its earnings, a requirement that it divest itself of a portion of the LLC, excise taxes on net investment income and various penalties. X 2 The Contribution Agreement requires that the Partnership, and the Operating Agreement of the LLC requires that the LLC, operate in a fashion so as not to adversely affect the Foundations tax-exempt status, and support community, civic, charitable and cultural activities at a level at least equal to that of the Rapides Regional Medical Center in the year ended June 30, 1994. It also calls for it to provide 2.8 million of uncompensated care annually to the Alexandria, Louisiana community, as well as continue historic levels in the other communities where it has hospitals. true true true X false true true false true true 606 915155 208791 706364 0.01100 11812 13633856 9101051 4532805 0.07060 12418 14549011 9309842 5239169 0.08160 3391254 3391254 0.05280 946857 89496 857361 0.01330 5125425 5125425 0.07980 9463536 89496 9374040 0.14590 12418 24012547 9399338 14613209 0.22750 false 1121000 20833011 17454143 3378868 X true true 1 1 RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CTR

X X X X Part I line 7 a-The Cost for Charity Care was derived using a cost-to-charge ratio from Schedule H, Worksheet 2 applied in Worksheet 1. Patient revenue is based on GAAP, and bad debt is not included in this calculation. No extraordinary items are included in this calculation. Persons served are the total Charity inpatient admissions plus total Charity outpatient visits. B-Unreimbursed Medicaid Costs were derived using a cost-to-charge ratio from Schedule H Worksheet 2 applied in Worksheet 3. Patient revenue is based on GAAP, and bad debt is not included in this calculation. No extraordinary items are included in this calculation. Persons served are the total Medicaid inpatient admissions plus total Medicaid outpatient visits. Part III line 4 Excerpt from 2011 Notes to Audited Financial Statements of Rapides Healthcare System-The Company does not pursue collection of amounts related to patients who meet the guidelines to qualify as charity care, therefore, they are not reported in revenues. Patients treated at the Companys hospitals for non-elective care, who have income at or below 200 per cent of the federal poverty level, are eligible for charity care. The deferral poverty level is established by the federal government and is based on income and family size. The Company provides discounts to uninsured patients who do not qualify for Medicaid or charity care. These discounts are similar to those provided too many local managed care plans. After the discounts are applied, if the Company is still unable to collect a significant portion of uninsured patients accounts, the Company will record significant provisions for doubtful accounts based upon the Companys historical collection experience related to uninsured patients in the period the services are provided. Part III line 4 The revenue deductions related to uninsured accounts charity care and uninsured discounts generally have the inverse effect on the provision for doubtful accounts. To quantify the total impact of and trends related to uninsured accounts, the Company believes it is beneficial to view these revenue deductions and provision for doubtful accounts in combination, as well as separately. The provision for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of net patient service revenues, increased from 5.5 for 2010 to 10 for 2011. The sum of the provision for doubtful accounts, uninsured discounts and charity care, as a percentage of the sum of net patient service revenues, uninsured discounts and charity care increased from 15.8 for 2010 to 21.9 for 2011. Part III line 4 The methodology to determine the bad debt expense reported at cost on Part III, Line 2 is to take the ratio of patient care costs to gross patient charges and multiply this resulting ratio by the gross charges for bad debt accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts and the allowance for doubtful accounts relate primarily to amounts due directly from patients. An estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all uninsured accounts, regardless of the aging of those accounts. This allowance is based upon historic experience of collections and charity approvals. No allowance is made for amounts attributable to patients who would likely qualify for charity care if documentation had been available. Accounts are written off when all reasonable internal and external collections efforts have been performed. Part III line 8 Even though the amount reported for Medicare activity in Section B reflects a surplus for the year, it should be noted that the amount of patient care costs do not include Medicare non-allowable expenses. The amounts reported on Part III, Lines 5-7 have been determined from the individual facility cost report for the hospital operated by RHS. Part III line 9b Collection of outstanding receivables from third-party payers Medicare, managed-care payers, etc. is Rapides Healthcare Systems RHSs primary source of cash and is critical to its ability to fund operations. The primary collection risks relate to uninsured patient accounts, including patient accounts for which the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts deductibles and copayments remain outstanding. Part III line 9b RHS collection policies include a review of all accounts against certain standard collection criteria, upon completion of internal collection efforts. Accounts determined to possess positive collectability attributes are forwarded to a secondary external collections agency, and the other accounts are written off. The accounts that are not collected by the secondary external collection agency are written off when they are returned by the collection agency usually within 12 months. Write-offs are based upon specific identification, and the write-off process requires a write-off adjustment entry to the patient accounting system. Part III line 9b RHS does not pursue collection of accounts while it attempts to determine whether uninsured or underinsured patients meet its guidelines to qualify for free charity care under its financial assistance policy FAP. The Rapides Healthcare System Discount Charity Policy for Patients clearly describes in detail the process that is followed in determining whether a patient is qualified for charity care. Until it is determined whether a patient account qualifies for charity care, the account is held in a pending state, and the account is not submitted for collection. Part III line 9b Once an account is approved as FAP-eligible by an authorized manager, the appropriate code is posted to the account in the billing system, the account is written off, and no bill is sent to the patient. Part V Line 10 The Rapides Healthcare System RHS does not utilize FPG as criteria for discounted care. Any individual at income of 200 or less of FPG qualifies for the RHS financial assistance policies FAP and receives a 100 discount on their bill, or free care. There is no provision for partial discounts on patient bills under the FAP. All uninsured patients who do not qualify under the FAP receive an uninsured discount on their bills. Part V Line 11 Uninsured patients may qualify for 100 discount on their bill under extenuating circumstances after manager review and approval, in cases such as if the patient is not able to complete the financial assistance application or provide supporting documentation, where medical indigence is determined by medical debt outweighing 25 of the patients annual income, patients identified as undocumented residents or homeless, or patients that expire without an estate. Part V Line19 The Rapides Healthcare System RHS does offer discounted care under its financial assistance policies. Any individual at income of 200 or less of FPG qualifies for the RHS FAP and receives a 100 discount on their bill, or free care. Thus, FAP-eligible individuals are not charged for care. There is no provision for partial discounts on patient bills under the FAP. All uninsured patients who do not qualify under the FAP receive an uninsured discount on their bills. Part VI Line 2 The Rapides Foundation TRF engages a national expert firm to perform a Community Health Assessment every three years. The assessment is a systematic, data-driven approach to identifying the health status, behaviors and needs of the members of the community within the nine-parish county TRF service area. Sample data is compiled through random telephone interviews within the service area and benchmarked against data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Health - Human Services, and the PRC National Health Survey. Secondary data are gathered from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the ESRI BIS Demographic Portfolio, Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement, Louisiana Department of Health - Hospitals and the National Center for Health Statistics. The assessment results are reviewed by TRF management and its Board and inform the organizations philanthropic efforts. The assessment is used by Rapides Healthcare System management and its Boards Community Benefit Committee for its hospitals community benefit planning. Part VI Line 2 Lastly, results are made available to others in the community to assist them in planning their community-directed efforts. The Community Health Assessment results are available on the TRF website. TRF completed its last assessment in 2010. In accordance with new requirements for Community Health Needs Assessments CHNA for Exempt Hospital Facilities effective for tax years beginning after March 24, 2012, Rapides Regional Medical Center is partnering with another exempt community hospital in 2012 to begin the process of conducting a CHNA to be completed in 2013. Part VI Line 3 A Notice to Patients is posted at inpatient and emergency department admitting locations. The notice contains the following language- An uninsured discount policy is available to patients without insurance coverage for medically necessary services. A charity care discount policy is available for certain qualifying patients. Charity care and discount policies are available on the organizations website in both English and Spanish. As soon as possible after admission, all uninsured patients are screened by an on-site third-party firm hired specifically to determine if patients meet government program eligibility criteria. The firms personnel are specifically trained in Medicaid, Medicare and other government program eligibility criteria and application procedures. If the patient meets program eligibility criteria, then assistance is provided to the patient for enrollment. If the patient does not meet program qualifications, the patient is given a financial assistance application and letter. Hospital staff explains the hospitals financial assistance policy, what the qualifications are for assistance, and what documentation is required in order for patients to receive assistance. Hospital registrar staff is trained in financial assistance policies and procedures. The patient is then asked to complete and return the documentation. A patient qualifies for charity care if household income is at or below 200 per cent of the Federal Poverty level. Part VI Line 3 Hospital staff explain the hospital s financial assistance policy, what the qualifications are for assistance, and what documentation is required in order for patients to receive assistance. Hospital registrar staff is trained in financial assistance policies and procedures. The patient is then asked to complete and return the documentation. A patient qualifies for charity care if household income is at or below 200 per cent of the Federal Poverty level. Part VI Line 4 The Rapides Foundation TRF serves a largely rural nine-parish county area of central Louisiana. These parishes include Allen, Avoyelles, Catahoula, Grant, LaSalle, Natchitoches, Rapides, Vernon, and Winn. Eight of the nine parishes in the service area are federally designated as medically underserved in terms of primary care access. According to 2010 census figures, the median household income level in the nine-parish region ranged between 31,325 in Catahoula Parish to 43,752 in Vernon Parish, all below the US median household income of 50,046. An estimated 34.3 per cent of all households in the TRF service area have annual incomes below 25,000, compared to 23.6 per cent nationally. The population of the region was 67.8 per cent white, 29.1 per cent black and 3.1 per cent other. In 2010, at the time of TRFs latest Community Health Assessment, 22.0 per cent of adults aged 18 to 64 in the TRF service area self reported that they had no health insurance coverage. Part VI Line 4 Another 18.6 per cent reported coverage by Medicaid and Medicare. Challenges in the region include infant mortality of 10.1 per cent in 2004-2006, compared to 6.9 per cent nationally, births to unwed mothers of 45.3 per cent 33.5 per cent nationally and births to teenagers under age 20 of 15.3 per cent 10.3 per cent nationally. Part VI Line 5 Rapides Regional Medical Center maintains an open medical staff medical staff credentialing is strictly based upon education, certification and other generally accepted objective professional requirements. The hospital maintains an open emergency room, treating all patients regardless of their ability to pay. The hospital accepts Medicare, Medicaid and other Government-insured patients, despite the fact that payments from these programs do not normally reimburse the hospital fully for the costs of services rendered to patients. The Board of Directors of the Rapides Healthcare System RHS and the Board of Trustees of Rapides Regional Medical Center both include members of the local community, who are focused on the quality of healthcare and availability of medical services in their community. The RHS Board has a standing Community Benefit Committee. Part VI Line 5 Both boards of directors and the hospital management team are heavily focused on quality and safety, and the hospital invests in services and technology necessary to provide the best care possible for patients. With a 2011 overall risk-adjusted complications index of 0.84, RHS provided top-level patient-care outcomes. In 2011, for the fifth year in a row, RRMC received the states highest level healthcare quality award from eQHealth Solutions - the Capstone Quality Award, one of only 24 Louisiana hospitals to receive the award. Part VI Line 5 Additionally, the hospital was one of only 405 U.S. hospitals and critical access hospitals named a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for excellence in accountability measure performance by The Joint Commission in 2011. U.S. News and World Reports 2011-12 rankings of Best Hospitals recognized RRMC as No. 3 in Louisiana. In 2009 the Hospital achieved certification as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center, and in 2010 it became an Accredited Cycle III Chest Pain Center - the only one in Central Louisiana. In 2011, the Hospital was certified as Louisianas only Level II Trauma Center, which will benefit Central Louisiana by providing access to trauma care during the critical first 60 minutes following a traumatic injury, thereby reducing mortality rates from such injuries in the region. Part VI Line 5 In 2011, RRMC implemented an initiative to reduce elective deliveries between 37 and 39 weeks gestation through education of expectant mothers concerning fetal development and premature birth complications. In fourth quarter 2010, elective deliveries between 37 and 39 weeks were 47.2 per cent of all deliveries, but by fourth quarter 2011, elective deliveries prior to 39 weeks had fallen to 4.8 per cent. During the first two quarters of 2012, there were no such elective deliveries at RRMC. Part VI Line 5 With an annual payroll of 20 million Rapides Foundation ownership percentage share, RHS is a significant employer in its communities and paid 0.5 million Rapides Foundation share in property taxes during 2011 that supported such efforts as schools, roads and other infrastructure projects. In addition to the community benefit provided by Rapides Healthcare System, The Rapides Foundations 2011 philanthropic activities provided an additional 8.3 million in community benefit to the nine-parish service area. This included grants of 5.0 million and direct charitable activities of 3.3 million in three primary areas of focus Healthy People, Healthy Communities, and Education. true AL HAYWARD SR CDC PO BOX 1331 BUNKIE LA 71322 223891941 501c3 24550 Book HEALTHY PEOPLE ALEXANDRIA MUSEUM-ARTLLC 933 MAIN STREET ALEXANDRIA LA 71301 273943710 GOV 40000 Book H.

On a quarterly or semi-annual basis, the Rapides Foundation TRF requires that grantees submit narrative reports and budget expenditure reports, which compare actual activities completed to approved work plans and actual expenditures to approved budgets. At the end of the grant term, the grantees are required to submit similar cumulative reports detailing the interventions completed, evaluating their effectiveness and itemizing expenses compared to the approved budgets. Unspent funds must be repaid to the Foundation in accordance with written grant agreements. Grantees may submit requests to approve budget line item changes. As a practice TRF does not approve work plan or budget changes which diverge from the original grant purpose and intent. I 2 TRF, at its expense and option, performs random, periodic reviews of the grantees internal records to verify the accuracy of reporting. If appropriate, repayment of inappropriate expenditures is requested. Failure to report expenditures or to repay unspent or inappropriately spent funds will result in 1-withholding of additional payments on existing grants or 2- prevent consideration of future grant requests. Large grant initiatives are evaluated by TRF utilizing third-party evaluation firms. The evaluations measure the effectiveness of the chosen intervention in achieving the initiative intended outcomes as well as the effectiveness of the initiative implementation. Evaluations serve to provide TRF feedback which can be utilized to improve program implementation.
