      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: The amount in Part III line 2 is the actual bad debt expenses of $7,769,428 written down to cost, utilizing the Uninsured Ratio of Cost to Charges (RCC) obtained from the full step down methodology of cost described in Part 1, line 7. The amount in Part III line 3 is the estimate of bad debt from uninsured balance which is developed as follows: as policy is to write accounts to bad debt 120 days after discharge, the discharge date period of 10/1/2009 to 9/30/2010 was used to determine the population of uninsured accounts. The balance of these accounts was determined and the RCC was applied to develop the estimate in H Part III Line 3. As our determination of eligibility for the Healthcare Assistance Program (HAP) (Charity Care) is based solely on the presentation for care without insurance, which is now for each account, and use of a sophisticated estimator (PARO) of each guarantor's ability to pay an estimate of "the amount that reasonably could be attributable to patients who likely would qualify for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care policy if sufficient information had been available to make a determination of their eligibility" is not relevant. The organization's financial statements do not include a footnote that describes bad debt expense, but the financial statements account for bad debt expenses in the statement of operations as actual expenses written off and an estimate of future write-offs less any recoveries.</Explanation>

DOH Prevention Agenda for the Healthiest State. In February 2009, an Erie County Joint Planning Committee formed to identify prevention priorities and strategies to focus on collaboratively over the next 3 years. 2. Health Consumers In creating the Catholic Health and Mercy Hospital strategic plan, input was sought from a variety of constituents including consumers. In August 2008, eight (8) consumer focus groups were conducted asking consumers what they wanted from their patient care experience. These focus groups were created by reaching out to 8,000 area residents who were asked to contact friends/families/neighbors to participate. 3. Patients/residents/clients A. Hospital Inpatients and Outpatients Mercy Hospital continues to participate in a regional patient satisfaction survey through a cooperative effort with the Buffalo Niagara Health Quality Coalition and area hospitals. Patient participation is voluntary. This survey takes place twice per year.
