Explanation	Item g: Amount represents the salaries and expenses of employees who engaged in lobbying activities on behalf of South Shore Hospital. Item i: Amount represents a percentage of the Hospital's annual apportionment of MHA/AHA dues attributable to lobbying expenses.

South Shore Hospital advocates for public policy that positively impacts the health and well-being of the communities we serve. The Hospital works with local, state and federal officials to advance initiatives that will enhance public safety, improve access to health services, assure appropriate health care reimbursements and stimulate economic development. We partner with state and national health care associations to develop and improve government-funded programs. We welcome elected and nonelected officials to visit our hospital to discuss health care policy issues affecting our region, the Commonwealth and the nation.	Explanation

SchH_P03_S0B_L08	Schedule H, Part III, Section B, Line 8	South Shore Hospital provides a valuable community benefit by treating all individuals within the Hospital's service area, regardless of ability to pay. One of 8 people in our area live near or below the poverty level. These individuals would have to travel out of our area or possible forgo medical treatment without the services the Hospital provides. The Hospital uses the cost to charge ratio from the Department of Health Care Finance & Policy 403 report filed with the state.
SchH_P03_S0C_L09b	Schedule H, Part III, Section C, Line 9b	The Hospital does not bill the following categories of patients (except that the Hospital will bill patients for any applicable co-pays or deductibles required by a particular assistance program): patients enrolled in MassHealth, patients receiving governmental benefits under the Emergency Aid to the Elderly and Disabled and Children program. Also, participants in the Children's Medical Security Plan whose family income is equal to or less than 400% of the FPL are exempt from collection action. Low income patients determined pursuant to 114.6 CMR 13.04(2) are exempt from collection action for any eligible services, except for co-payments and deductibles that are not eligible services under 114.6 CMR 12.03(6)(b). Low income patients determined pursuant to 114.6 CMR 12.03 (3)(b) within 201-400% of the FPL are exempt from collection action for the portion of the provider bill that exceeds the deductible and may be billed for co-payments and deductibles as set forth in 114.6 CMR 13.04. SSH may bill low income patients for services other than eligible services provided at the request of the patient and for which the patient has agreed to be responsible if providers receive the patient's written consent to be billed for the service. The Hospital will not undertake collection action against an individual that has qualified for medical hardship with respect to the amount of the bill that exceeds the medical hardship contribution. SSH will not continue collection or billings on a patient who is a member of bankruptcy proceedings except to secure its rights as a creditor in the appropriate order. The Hospital may initiate billing for a patient who claims to be eligible for assistance programs but fails to provide proof of eligibility. Upon receipt of satisfactory proof of eligibility, the Hospital shall cease all collection activities. The Hospital, or its agents, will not charge interest on an overdue balance for a low income patient of for patients who are low income based on the Hospital's own internal financial assistance program.

SchH_P06_S00_L02	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2	The Hospital's most recent Community Health Needs Assessment was completed in September 2010. South Shore Hospital utilizes information from many sources to determine the needs of individuals in the communities it serves. The Hospital reviews and analyzes health trends in our patient population. The Hospital also reviews data from the Massachusetts Community Health Information Profile, American Hospital Association, Massachusetts Hospital Association, Massachusetts Health Data Consortium, Federal Centers for Disease Control, Trust for America's Health and the Kaiser Family Foundation. South Shore Hospital is involved with three Community Health Network Areas (CHNAs), serving 34 communities south of Boston, to address public health priorities. CHNAs were formed in 1992 by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to encourage public, non-profit and private sectors to work together to build healthier communities. South Shore Hospital is working with these CHNAs to conduct community health assessments. Data collected helps determine unmet health needs in the region.
SchH_P06_S00_L03	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3	South Shore Hospital prominently displays its financial assistance information in public areas throughout the Hospital. Information is provided to individuals during the intake process. The Hospital provides its credit and collection policy on its website. This document explains how individuals may be eligible for assistance under federal and state programs as well as the Hospital's reduced fee and charity care policies. In addition, the Hospital's insurance counselors can explain various options and will help anyone who wants assistance with health insurance enrollment under the Commonwealth's Health Care Reform Law. Counselors are available to assist patients during the intake process and are also available to the public six days a week. In addition to helping patients understand eligibility for reduced or free care, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 counselors assisted roughly 3,100 people in obtaining health insurance. Approximately half of those assisted in obtaining health insurance were not our patients.
SchH_P06_S00_L04	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4	South Shore Hospital serves an area south of Boston with a population of approximately 725,000.

SchH_P06_S00_L05	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5	South Shore Hospital is committed to providing community building activities that promote the health and wellbeing of all the people in our area. The Hospital provides pastoral care to patients and their families. People living within the Hospital's service area may receive help in finding affordable health insurance and are assisted in finding medical care through our MD access and referral programs. The Hospital eliminates barriers to care by providing a courtesy coach to any patient needing transportation to or from its facilities. We have made a commitment to physician recruitment in specialties that meet community needs, now and in the future, and to providing our clinicians with continuing medical education. South Shore Hospital has invested in emergency preparedness training and equipment to serve the community in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
