      <Description>WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM PREPARES A CONSOLIDATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH INCLUDES THE ACTIVITIES OF ALL ITS OPERATIONS AND AFFILIATES. IN CONTRAST, AN IRS FORM 990 IS FILED FOR EACH TAX EXEMPT CORPORATION (6 SEPARATE FORM 990S) AND THERE IS NO SUCH IRS FORM FOR THE TAXABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS TO FORM 990 HAVE SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS, METHODS AND WORKSHEETS TO CALCULATE THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS TO BE INCLUDED ON THE FORM 990. AS A RESULT, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTED IN THE CONSOLIDATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT AND THE VARIOUS FORM 990S. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT LOSSES INCURRED IN THE TAXABLE CORPORATIONS THAT CANNOT BE REFLECTED IN THE VARIOUS FORM 990S, THE LARGEST OF WHICH ARE THE COSTS AND REVENUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PHYSICIANS AND OTHER PROVIDERS WITHIN THESE CORPORATIONS WHO PROVIDE INDISPENSABLE SERVICES TO PATIENTS OF WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM. THERE ARE ALSO FUNDS AND SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED THAT DO NOT MEET THE SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS OF THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS, SUCH AS CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO NOT MEET THE DEFINITION OF "RESTRICTED TO ONE OR MORE OF THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN THE TABLE IN PART I, LINE 7" OF SCHEDULE H. WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM IS A PUBLIC TRUST. FROM KINGSPORT TO BRISTOL, FROM SNEEDVILLE TO NORTON, THE MEMBER HOSPITALS OF OUR ORGANIZATION WERE BORN OF THEIR COMMUNITIES' COMMITMENT TO SUPERIOR HEALTH CARE FOR THEIR CITIZENS. WE OFFER A VAST ARRAY OF MEDICAL SERVICES AND RESOURCES FOR THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS IN NORTHEAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. IN 2010, WE PROVIDED SERVICES TO 50,910 PATIENTS IN A BED, 212,383 EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, 218,400 OUTPATIENT REGISTRATIONS (EXCLUDING ER), 2,238 NEWBORN DELIVERIES, 36,559 SURGERIES, AND 258,263 PHYSICIAN OFFICE VISITS. WELLMONT IS A TENNESSEE NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION. SIX TAX-EXEMPT COMMUNITY BASED HOSPITALS - BRISTOL REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER (BRISTOL, TN.), HOLSTON VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER (KINGSPORT, TN.), LONESOME PINE HOSPITAL (BIG STONE GAP, VA.), HANCOCK COUNTY HOSPITAL (SNEEDVILLE, TN.), MOUNTAIN VIEW REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER (NORTON, VA.) AND LEE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER (PENNINGTON GAP, VA.) - ARE INCLUDED IN THIS CORPORATION. BUT EVEN AS OUR SERVICE AREA SPANS MULTIPLE STATES AND OUR REVENUE IS REPORTED IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, WE REMAIN A COMMUNITY-OWNED HEALTH SYSTEM. IT IS OUR MISSION TO DELIVER SUPERIOR HEALTH CARE WITH COMPASSION TO THE PEOPLE WE SERVE. IT IS OUR VISION TO DELIVER THE BEST HEALTH CARE ANYWHERE. CONSISTENT WITH THIS MISSION, WE HAVE WORKED TOWARD IMPROVING OUR COMMUNITY'S ACCESS TO QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE, EDUCATING OUR REGION'S CAREGIVERS, IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE AREAS WE SERVE.

        <AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln>WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM PREPARES A CONSOLIDATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH INCLUDES THE ACTIVITIES OF ALL ITS OPERATIONS AND AFFILIATES. IN CONTRAST, AN IRS FORM 990 IS FILED FOR EACH TAX EXEMPT CORPORATION (6 SEPARATE FORM 990S) AND THERE IS NO SUCH IRS FORM FOR THE TAXABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS TO FORM 990 HAVE SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS, METHODS AND WORKSHEETS TO CALCULATE THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS TO BE INCLUDED ON THE FORM 990. AS A RESULT, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTED IN THE CONSOLIDATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT AND THE VARIOUS FORM 990S. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT LOSSES INCURRED IN THE TAXABLE CORPORATIONS THAT CANNOT BE REFLECTED IN THE VARIOUS FORM 990S, THE LARGEST OF WHICH ARE THE COSTS AND REVENUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PHYSICIANS AND OTHER PROVIDERS WITHIN THESE CORPORATIONS WHO PROVIDE INDISPENSABLE SERVICES TO PATIENTS OF WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM. THERE ARE ALSO FUNDS AND SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED THAT DO NOT MEET THE SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS OF THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS, SUCH AS CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO NOT MEET THE DEFINITION OF "RESTRICTED TO ONE OR MORE OF THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN THE TABLE IN PART I, LINE 7..."</AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln>
        <CostingMethodUsed>RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES, WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE COSTS FOR AMOUNTS IN LINE 7A AND 7B COLUMN (C) BY FACILITY. THE COSTS INCLUDED IN THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO INCLUDED THE COSTS FROM ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS. ACTUAL COSTS FROM THE GENERAL LEDGER WERE USED FOR AMOUNTS IN LINE 7F AND 7I COLUMN (C).</CostingMethodUsed>
        <PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $32,321,089 WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990 PART IX, LINE 25 COLUMN (A) BUT WAS SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGES IN THIS COLUMN. IN ADDITION, $22,331 WAS SUBTRACTED FOR WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM'S SHARE OF JOINT VENTURE BAD DEBT EXPENSE.</PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>
        <BadDebtFootnote>THE COST REPORTED ON LINE 2 IS CALCULATED AS THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM THE GENERAL LEDGER TIMES THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES AS CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 BY FACILITY (INCLUDING JOINT VENTURES). THERE ARE NO AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINE 3. DISCOUNTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN BAD DEBT EXPENSE. PAYMENTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE USED TO REDUCE BAD DEBT EXPENSE. A THIRD PARTY VENDOR IS USED TO HELP DETERMINE THE AMOUNT THAT REASONABLY COULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE CHARITY CARE POLICY. TEXT OF NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE: NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED ON THE ACCRUAL BASIS IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS EXPECTED TO BE COLLECTED. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE INCLUDES AMOUNTS ESTIMATED BY MANAGEMENT TO BE REIMBURSABLE BY PATIENTS AND VARIOUS THIRD-PARTY PAYORS UNDER PROVISIONS OF REIMBURSEMENT FORMULAS IN EFFECT, INCLUDING RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS. ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE ACCRUED IN THE PERIOD RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL AND OTHER SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. WELLMONT PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. BECAUSE WELLMONT DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REPORTED NET OF BOTH AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND AN ALLOWANCE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS. THE CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE REPRESENTS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ESTABLISHED BILLING RATES AND ESTIMATED REIMBURSEMENT FROM MEDICARE, TENNCARE, MEDICAID, AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROGRAMS. WELLMONT'S POLICY DOES NOT REQUIRE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. WELLMONT ROUTINELY OBTAINS ASSIGNMENT OF, OR IS OTHERWISE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE, PATIENT BENEFITS PAYABLE UNDER HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMS, PLANS, OR POLICIES.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>THE MEDICARE COST REPORT COST FINDING METHODOLOGY AND COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6. LINE 7 IS A SURPLUS SO IT IS NOT INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINES 5-7 SPECIFICALLY INDICATE TO INCLUDE ONLY THOSE ALLOWABLE COSTS AND MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS THAT ARE REPORTED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT FOR THE YEAR. THIS REPORTING DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THOSE COSTS AND REVENUES ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICIANS WHO ARE TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS AT HOSPITAL-OWNED CLINIC AND PHYSICIAN PRACTICE SITES. ACCORDINGLY, THE NET RESULT OF TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE MAY DIFFER AS REPORTED FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING PURPOSES FROM THE SURPLUS OR SHORTFALL SHOWN ON LINE 7 OF SECTION B OF PART III OF SCHEDULE H.</ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>
        <DebtCollectionPolicy>A THIRD PARTY VENDOR WAS USED BEGINNING IN FISCAL YEAR 2010 (TAX YEAR 2009) TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS WHO HAD BEEN SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY BUT WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. THESE PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS ARE THEN WRITTEN OFF AS CHARITY CARE. SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF THE REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF THE OUTSTANDING CHARGES AND COLLECTIONS ARE NOT PURSUED.</DebtCollectionPolicy>
        <NeedsAssessment>WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM EXAMINES THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES BY CONDUCTING PHYSICIAN NEEDS ASSESSMENTS FOR ITS HOSPITALS. AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, WELLMONT REVIEWS ITS SERVICE AREA AND DEMOGRAPHICS, EXAMINES PHYSICIAN DEMOGRAPHICS AND CONDUCTS FOCUS GROUPS. IT MAKES A DETERMINATION OF PHYSICIAN NEED WHILE CALCULATING ITS PHYSICIAN SURPLUSES AND DEFICITS AND HIGHLIGHTING ITS RECRUITMENT PRIORITIES AND PLANS. WELLMONT ANNUALLY DETERMINES ITS PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND TERTIARY MARKETS THROUGH THE USE OF COUNTY-BY-COUNTY ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING CUSTOMER GROUPS: PATIENTS AND POTENTIAL PATIENTS, COMMUNITY/EMPLOYER GROUPS AND LOCAL PHYSICIANS. THE HEALTH SYSTEM ALSO RELIES ON THE EXPERTISE OF CONSULTANTS TO PERIODICALLY REVIEW ALL FACETS OF OPERATIONS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES.</NeedsAssessment>
        <PatientEducationAssistance>WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM PROACTIVELY INFORMS PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY BY POSTING THE POLICY ON ITS WEB SITE AS WELL AS POSTING THE POLICY AT POINTS OF REGISTRATION IN THE HOSPITALS. WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM USES PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY SPECIALISTS WHO CONTACT THE UNINSURED PATIENT POPULATION. THESE SPECIALISTS DISCUSS THE VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF THE PATIENT WOULD QUALIFY FOR ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS. THE SPECIALISTS WILL WORK WITH THE PATIENTS TO COMPLETE ANY NECESSARY APPLICATIONS AND WILL HELP THEM THROUGH THE QUALIFICATION PROCESS.</PatientEducationAssistance>
