FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $51,625,758.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II	HUMC ACTIVELY ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. HUMC CONTRIBUTED $35,275 TO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN SPONSORSHIP OF YOUTH SPORTING ACTIVITIES, JULY 4TH CELEBRATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS. IN ADDITION, HUMC PROVIDES AND SUBSIDIZES DAY CARE SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS COMMUNITY BUILDING OPERATION RESULTED IN A LOSS OF $98,827 IN 2010.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AND SUBSIDIARIES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AND SUBSIDIARIES. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS ACCOUNTED FOR ON THE ACCRUAL BASIS IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED. THESE AMOUNTS ARE NET OF APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCES TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARGES AND REIMBURSEMENT RATES FROM THIRD PARTY PAYERS. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS REIMBURSED FROM THIRD PARTY PAYERS UNDER VARIOUS METHODOLOGIES BASED ON THE LEVEL OF CARE PROVIDED. CERTAIN NET REVENUES RECEIVED ARE SUBJECT TO AUDIT AND RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENT FOR WHICH AMOUNTS ARE ACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. THE NET POSITIVE ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS RELATING TO PRIOR YEAR ESTIMATES WERE APPROXIMATELY $5,127,000 AND $554,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY. THE PROCESS FOR ESTIMATING THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGMENTS. ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE WHEN MANAGEMENT DETERMINES IT IS PROBABLE THE RECEIVABLE WILL NOT BE RECOVERED. THE USE OF HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND PAYER REIMBURSEMENT EXPERIENCE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ESTIMATION OF RESERVES FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. REVISIONS IN RESERVE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS ESTIMATES ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. A SUMMARY OF THE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH MAJOR THIRD-PARTY PAYERS IS AS FOLLOWS: MEDICARE - INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES AND MOST OUTPATIENT SERVICES RENDERED TO MEDICARE PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE. THESE RATES VARY ACCORDING TO A PATIENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM THAT IS BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND OTHER FACTORS. INPATIENT NON-ACUTE SERVICES AND DEFINED CAPITAL AND MEDICAL EDUCATION COSTS RELATED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID BASED ON A COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS REIMBURSED FOR CERTAIN REIMBURSABLE ITEMS AT A TENTATIVE RATE WITH FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL COST REPORT BY THE MEDICAL CENTER AND AUDITS THEREOF BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CLASSIFICATION OF PATIENTS UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM AND THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THEIR ADMISSION ARE SUBJECT TO AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW BY A PEER REVIEW ORGANIZATION UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S MEDICARE COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND FINALIZED BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2004. MEDICAID - INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES RENDERED TO MEDICAID PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID AT PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE. THESE RATES VARY ACCORDING TO A PATIENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM THAT IS BASED ON CLINICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND OTHER FACTORS. OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE PAID BASED UPON A COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY AND CERTAIN SERVICES ARE PAID BASED ON A MEDICAID FEE SCHEDULE. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS PAID FOR REIMBURSABLE COSTS AT A TENTATIVE RATE WITH FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL COST REPORT BY THE MEDICAL CENTER AND AUDIT THEREOF BY THE MEDICAID FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S MEDICAID COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND FINALIZED BY THE MEDICAID FISCAL INTERMEDIARY THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2004. THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS ALSO ENTERED INTO PAYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CERTAIN COMMERCIAL INSURANCE CARRIERS, HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS AND PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS. THE BASIS FOR PAYMENT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS INCLUDES PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DAY/CASE AND DISCOUNTS FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES. REVENUE FROM MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ACCOUNTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 31.0% AND 7.7%, RESPECTIVELY, OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN 2010 AND 30.7% AND 7.2%, RESPECTIVELY, OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN 2009. THE CURRENT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS ARE BASED UPON COMPLEX LAWS AND REGULATIONS. NONCOMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESULT IN FINES, PENALTIES, AND EXCLUSION FROM SUCH PROGRAMS. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS NOT AWARE OF ANY NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND IS NOT AWARE OF ANY PENDING OR THREATENED INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVING ALLEGATIONS OF POTENTIAL WRONGDOING THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON ITS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CHARITY CARE IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSE, THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES A WIDE ARRAY OF SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS, HEALTH SCREENINGS, TRAUMA SERVICES, TRAINING FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL, SOCIAL SERVICE AND SUPPORT COUNSELING FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, PASTORAL CARE, CRISIS INTERVENTION, AND TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE MEDICAL CENTER. ADDITIONALLY, A LARGE NUMBER OF HEALTH-RELATED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING HEALTH ENHANCEMENTS AND WELLNESS, CLASSES ON SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, MEDICAL EDUCATION, TELEPHONE INFORMATION SERVICES, AND PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE GENERAL STANDARDS OF THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT REDUCED COSTS TO RESIDENTS OF ITS COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S DEFINITION OF CHARITY CARE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: (A) SERVICES PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE TO THE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED AND (B) SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS EXPRESSING A WILLINGNESS TO PAY, BUT WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNABLE TO PAY BECAUSE OF SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA UNDER THE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM FOR CHARITY CARE OR TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR A NEW PROGRAM ESTABLISHED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER IN 2008. THE MEDICAL CENTER OFFERS ITS OWN CHARITY CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DID NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARGES AND THE REDUCED RATES ARE CONSIDERED THE MEDICAL CENTER'S SELF-PAY CHARITY CARE. THE MEDICAL CENTER MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. SUCH FORGONE CHARGES FOR 2010 AND 2009 ARE AS FOLLOWS (IN THOUSANDS): 2010 2009 CHARGES FORGONE CHAPTER 160 SYSTEM $165,700 $221,669 MEDICAL CENTER'S SELF-PAY CHARITY CARE PROGRAM $48,272 $28,334 ------------ ------------- TOTAL CHARGES FOREGONE $213,972 $250,003 ========== ========== THE NEW JERSEY HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT OF 1992 PROVIDED FOR CERTAIN SUBSIDY PAYMENTS FROM THE STATE TO QUALIFIED HOSPITALS TO PARTIALLY FUND UNCOMPENSATED CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COSTS. SUBSIDY PAYMENTS RECOGNIZED AS REVENUE AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY $8,550,000 AND $10,357,000 FOR 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY, AND ARE INCLUDED IN OTHER REVENUE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WAS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS DERIVED FROM THE 2010 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE ARE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDED WITHIN FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS). THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE INDIGENT OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT A HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (AHA) HAS OUTLINED IN A LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA BELIEVES THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL WORSEN, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE INDIGENT. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - ALSO KNOWN AS "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS A VERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ANNUAL OVERALL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS MUST BE ASSUMED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND INDIGENT. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOME BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING APPLICATION FOR AND ULTIMATE APPROVAL FOR CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITALS' BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS

PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3	UNDER THE CHARITY CARE POLICY THE ORGANIZATION INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS BY MEETING WITH A HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID SPECIALIST. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID SPECIALIST ALSO ANSWERS ALL INCOMING CALLS AND MAILS OUT THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE BROCHURES UPON REQUEST. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID RECEPTIONIST WILL PROCESS ALL REQUESTS FOR CHARITY CARE FROM PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS AND SECURE THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION THAT FOLLOWS THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE APPROVED BASED ON INCOME/ASSET GUIDELINES, THEY WILL PREPARE A DETERMINATION OF CHARITY CARE NOTICE BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE CALCULATIONS AND SEND IT TO THE PATIENT.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4	SERVICE AREA THE MEDICAL CENTER DEFINES ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA FOR INPATIENTS ("PSA") AS BERGEN COUNTY, ITS SECONDARY SERVICE AREA ("SSA") AS PASSAIC AND HUDSON COUNTIES, AND ITS TERTIARY SERVICE AREA ("TSA") AS OTHER COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY AND CERTAIN COUNTIES IN NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA. THE 2009 POPULATION ESTIMATES OF THE PSA AND SSA WERE APPROXIMATELY 895,250 AND 1,089,702, RESPECTIVELY, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2009, APPROXIMATELY 22.2% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 22.7% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND APPROXIMATELY 15.0% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 11.5% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE 65 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2009, APPROXIMATELY 61.9% OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S 48,319 DISCHARGES CAME FROM BERGEN COUNTY, 9.8% FROM HUDSON COUNTY AND 12.0% FROM PASSAIC COUNTY. THE MEDICAL CENTER REFERS TO BERGEN, HUDSON AND PASSAIC COUNTIES AS THE "TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA". THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO ATTRACTS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO RESIDE BEYOND THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA, AND FREQUENTLY THESE PATIENTS ARE SEEKERS OF SUB-SPECIALTY CARE. IN 2009, APPROXIMATELY 16.3% OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S DISCHARGES CAME FROM OUTSIDE OF THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA. THE MEDICAL CENTER MEASURES ITS MARKET SHARE BASED ON TOTAL DISCHARGES OF ALL NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS HOSPITALIZED IN ANY HOSPITAL IN NEW JERSEY OR NEW YORK. IN ALL CASES, EXCEPT FOR GERIATRIC SERVICES IN THE PSA, HUMC HELD THE LARGEST MARKET SHARE IN 2010 IN ALL THREE SERVICE AREAS AMONG ALL OF THE BERGEN COUNTY COMPETITORS. A CONSISTENT GOAL OF THE MEDICAL CENTER OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES HAS BEEN TO REDUCE OUTMIGRATION OF PSA AND SSA PATIENTS TO HOSPITALS IN NEW YORK CITY. ALTHOUGH HUMC HAS EXPERIENCED A REDUCTION IN OUTMIGRATION AND INCREASED PSA AND SSA ADMISSIONS, THE CONTINUING REDUCTION OF OUTMIGRATION REMAINS A LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT	CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	BACKGROUND ========== HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER (THE "MEDICAL CENTER" OR "HUMC") IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT NEW JERSEY CORPORATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE"). HUMC OWNS AND OPERATES A 775 LICENSED BED ACUTE CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL LOCATED AT 30 PROSPECT AVENUE IN THE CITY OF HACKENSACK, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. BERGEN COUNTY IS THE LARGEST COUNTY BY POPULATION IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY (THE "STATE"), WITH A 2009 POPULATION OF 895,250. ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, 2009 POPULATION ESTIMATES, IT HAS THE SIXTEENTH HIGHEST PER CAPITA INCOME IN THE UNITED STATES. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS LOCATED NEAR MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN NORTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY, INCLUDING INTERSTATE 80, THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY, AND STATE ROUTES 4, 17, AND 46 AND IS APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES FROM NEW YORK CITY. HUMC WAS FOUNDED IN 1888 AS A 12-BED HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE ACUTE CARE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF HACKENSACK. IN THE LAST 25 YEARS, THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS EVOLVED FROM A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OFFERING PATIENTS A SECONDARY LEVEL OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO A TEACHING HOSPITAL AFFILIATED WITH THE NEW JERSEY MEDICAL SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY OF NEW JERSEY ("UMDNJ") OFFERING AN INCREASING ARRAY OF TERTIARY AND QUATERNARY PATIENT SERVICES. HUMC PROVIDES THESE SERVICES PRIMARILY TO RESIDENTS OF BERGEN, HUDSON AND PASSAIC COUNTIES, BUT ALSO TO PATIENTS FROM THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND ADJACENT COUNTIES IN SOUTHEASTERN NEW YORK AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HUMC IS A REGIONAL LEADER IN MANY SERVICE PROGRAMS AND ITS MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT PATIENTS WHOSE PRIMARY PHYSICIANS ARE NOT ON THE HUMC MEDICAL STAFF ARE REFERRED TO HUMC BECAUSE OF ITS REPUTATION FOR HIGH QUALITY CARE AND ITS ARRAY OF SPECIALIZED SERVICES, SUCH AS CARDIAC SERVICES; ONCOLOGY (WHICH INCLUDES ONE OF THE LARGEST BONE MARROW/STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTRY); TRANSPLANTATION SERVICES; AND WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S SERVICES. SINCE 1999, THE MEDICAL CENTER'S BED COMPLEMENT HAS INCREASED FROM 579 LICENSED BEDS TO THE PRESENT LICENSED COMPLEMENT OF 775 BEDS. ADULT AND PEDIATRIC OCCUPANCY HAS CONSISTENTLY APPROXIMATED 90% SOON AFTER EACH BED CAPACITY EXPANSION OF 30 BEDS IN 2000, 68 BEDS IN 2001, AND 98 BEDS IN 2006, WHICH FURTHER SUPPORTS THE NECESSITY OF THE MEDICAL CENTER WITHIN ITS COMMUNITY HUMC IS BERGEN COUNTY'S LARGEST EMPLOYER WITH A WORK FORCE OF MORE THAN 7,500 EMPLOYEES AND AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF $1 BILLION. THE MORE THAN 1,500 PHYSICIANS AND DENTISTS ON THE MEDICAL AND DENTAL STAFF REPRESENT THE FULL SPECTRUM OF SPECIALTIES AND SUBSPECIALTIES. HUMC HAS A VOLUNTEER POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 1,900 MEN, WOMEN, AND TEENAGERS, WHO DONATE APPROXIMATELY 250,000 HOURS TO HUMC EACH YEAR. HUMC OFFERS ONE OF THE REGION'S MOST MODERN CAMPUSES, WHICH IS CONTINUALLY UPDATED AND EXPANDED TO INCORPORATE EMERGING CLINICAL APPROACHES, MEDICINE, AND TECHNOLOGIES. THE MEDICAL CENTER CONSISTS OF SEVENTEEN BUILDINGS AND FIVE FREESTANDING PARKING GARAGES, LOCATED ON ITS MAIN CAMPUS IN THE CITY OF HACKENSACK. SEVEN OF THE BUILDINGS ARE USED FOR INPATIENT SERVICES AND SIX ARE USED FOR OUTPATIENT SERVICES. ON THIS CAMPUS, HUNDREDS OF SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE DELIVERED. THE HUMC CAMPUS INCLUDES ONE OF THE LARGEST AMBULATORY FACILITIES IN THE COUNTRY: THE HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL PLAZA. THIS NINE-STORY, 276,000-SQUARE-FOOT FACILITY HOUSES PHYSICIAN OFFICES AND HUMC PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, HUMC'S MAIN FACILITIES INCLUDE: - THE DON IMUS/WFAN PEDIATRIC CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN - THE SARKIS AND SIRAN GABRELLIAN WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S PAVILION - THE JOSEPH M. SANZARI CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL - THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROW'S CHILDREN - THE JEFFREY M. CREAMER TRAUMA CENTER - THE DONNA A. SANZARI WOMEN'S HOSPITAL - THE SARKIS & SIRAN GABRELLIAN CHILD CARE AND LEARNING CENTER - THE AUDREY HEPBURN CHILDREN'S HOUSE - HEKEMIAN CONFERENCE CENTER - JOHN THEURER CANCER CENTER - THE HEART & VASCULAR HOSPITAL SINCE HUMC IS ONE OF THE REGION'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND PROGRESSIVE MEDICAL CENTERS, IT ATTRACTS MANY OF THE AREA'S LEADING PHYSICIANS. THESE PHYSICIANS, MANY OF WHOM ARE ON THE CUTTING-EDGE IN THEIR FIELDS AND HAVE RECEIVED THEIR TRAINING AT THE NATION'S MOST PROMINENT INSTITUTIONS, HAVE SELECTED HUMC AS THEIR PLACE TO PRACTICE. THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS A CAMPUS AT WESTWOOD, NEW JERSEY ("HUMC NORTH"), AT THE SITE OF THE FORMER PASCACK VALLEY HOSPITAL, APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM THE HACKENSACK CAMPUS, CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 181,910 GROSS SQUARE FEET THAT CURRENTLY SERVICES WESTWOOD AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES A SATELLITE EMERGENCY ROOM FACILITY, WHICH INCLUDES PROVIDING LAB AND DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SERVICES. HUMC PURPOSE AND BELIEFS ======================== PURPOSE ------- HUMC IS A TEAM COMMITTED TO PROVIDING AN EXCEPTIONAL PATIENT EXPERIENCE THROUGH QUALITY PATIENT-CENTERED CARE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. GOAL ---- QUALITY CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AS THE NUMBER ONE, NON-NEGOTIABLE VALUE THAT DRIVES HUMC'S MISSION AND ACTIONS. HUMC INCORPORATES EMERGING BUSINESS MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS TO REFLECT A VISION THAT PUTS PATIENTS IN CHARGE. HUMC STRIVES TO CREATE CONTINUOUS HEALING RELATIONSHIPS WITH ITS PATIENTS. HUMC CUSTOMIZES CARE ACCORDING TO PATIENTS' NEEDS AND VALUES, NOT HUMC'S. HUMC CONTINUES TO INITIATE AND PARTICIPATE IN UNPRECEDENTED DATA COLLABORATION. BENCHMARKING HUMC'S OUTCOMES PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR MORE INFORMED MEDICAL CARE JUDGMENTS. IT ALSO GIVES PATIENTS OBJECTIVE DECISION-MAKING DATA AND SERVES AS A RECRUITMENT TOOL FOR RECRUITING TOP-QUALITY PHYSICIANS TO HUMC'S TEAM. BELIEFS ------- HUMC IS GUIDED BY THE FOLLOWING BELIEFS: - QUALITY-ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT-CENTERED CARE AND SERVICE. - SERVICE-COMMITTING TO ANTICIPATE AND FULFILL THE NEEDS, REQUESTS, AND WISHES OF THE CUSTOMERS. - PATIENT-CENTERED CARE-PROVIDING CARE THAT IS COMPASSIONATE, EMPATHIC, AND RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS, VALUES, AND PREFERENCE OF INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS AND THE FAMILIES OF PATIENTS. - INNOVATION-ADVANCING THE DELIVERY OF HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE USE OF CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND PROCESSES THAT ACHIEVE DESIRED OUTCOMES. - COMPASSION-SHOWING CONCERN FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS BY LISTENING TO, AND EMPATHIZING WITH, THEIR FEELINGS, ANXIETIES, AND EXPECTATIONS. - COMMUNICATION-PROVIDING TIMELY, RELIABLE INFORMATION THAT RESULTS IN UNDERSTANDING. - INTEGRITY-ACTING IN A RESPONSIBLE AND ETHICAL MANNER. - PROFESSIONALISM-ACCEPTING INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN THEIR ROLES, AS DEFINED BY THE STANDARDS OF THE PROFESSION. - RESPECT-LISTENING TO AND VALUING, DIVERSE OPINIONS. - SATISFACTION-CREATING A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE, AND HEALING ENVIRONMENT THAT INSPIRES THEM TO EXCEED THE NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF PATIENTS, THE FAMILIES OF PATIENTS, PHYSICIANS, AND EMPLOYEES. OUTLOOK ------- THE MEDICAL CENTER'S GOAL IS COMMITTED TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES DESPITE THE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES AND COMPLEXITIES IN TODAY'S HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. IN 2008, A JOINT VENTURE FORMED BY HUMC AND TOURO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE PURCHASED THE PASCACK VALLEY HOSPITAL CAMPUS AND A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING. ON OCTOBER 1, 2008, THE MEDICAL CENTER OPENED A FREESTANDING SATELLITE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT THE PASCACK VALLEY SITE. IN ADDITION TO EMERGENCY SERVICES, THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO PROVIDES SEVERAL OUTPATIENT SERVICES INCLUDING DIAGNOSTICS AND LABORATORY SERVICES AT THAT SITE. THE MEDICAL CENTER ALSO SEPARATELY ACQUIRED A LICENSE FOR MOBILE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT SERVICES IN THE PASCACK VALLEY AREA, WHICH SERVES TO CONNECT THE IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY TO THIS NEWLY RE-OPENED FACILITY. IN FEBRUARY 2010, TOURO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO SELL ITS ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP INTEREST (50%) IN HUMC/TOURO, LLC TO THE MEDICAL CENTER. AS SUCH, HUMC NOW OWNS HUMC/TOURO, LLC AT 100%. THE OPENING OF A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WHICH EXPANDS FROM PROVIDING JUST EMERGENCY SERVICES TO PROVIDING INPATIENT CARE AT THE FORMER PASCACK VALLEY HOSPITAL SITE CONTINUES TO BE A PRIORITY OF THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE OPENING OF A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IS CONTINGENT UPON REGULATORY APPROVAL. THERE IS COMMUNITY SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE PASCACK VALLEY AS WELL AS FROM PUBLIC AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY, LOCAL PHYSICIANS, AND MANY ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE HOSPITAL'S OPENING. SUBJECT TO RECEIPT OF REGULATORY APPROVAL TO OPEN A NEW HOSPITAL, THE MEDICAL CENTER ESTIMATES THAT THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING AND OPENING THE HOSPITAL WILL REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY TWELVE MONTHS.

INCLUDED IN HUMC'S DEFINITION OF CHARITY CARE IS THE FOLLOWING: (A) SERVICES PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE TO THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED AND (B) SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS EXPRESSING WILLINGNESS TO PAY BUT WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNABLE TO PAY BECAUSE OF SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT - COSTS ------------------------- FOR PURPOSES OF FORM 990, SCHEDULE H REPORTING AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT IRSRULES AND REGULATIONS, HUMC UTILIZED THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION ("CHA") MODEL WHEN QUANTIFYING COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS. UNDER THE CHAMETHODOLOGY FOR QUANTIFYING COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS HUMC'S 2010 NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS WERE APPROXIMATELY $77,548,934 OR APPROXIMATELY 7.06% OF ITS TOTAL 2010 EXPENSES. THE CHA METHODOLOGY DOES NOT INCLUDE MEDICARE SHORTFALLS AND CERTAIN COSTS RELATED TO BAD DEBT. UTILIZING THE MODEL ADOPTED BY THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA"), WHICH HUMC BELIEVES MORE CLEARLY REPRESENTS ACTUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT, WHEN QUANTIFYING ITS ESTIMATED TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS FOR THE 2010 YEAR WOULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE. UNDER THE AHA MODEL, A HOSPITAL MAY INCLUDE BOTH MEDICARE SHORTFALLS (THE AMOUNT BY WHICH YOUR COSTS EXCEED REIMBURSEMENTS) AND COSTS RELATED TO BAD DEBT. UNDER THE AHA MODEL DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2010, HUMC INCURRED NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS OF APPROXIMATELY $126,684,364; WHICH ACCOUNTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 11% OF ITS TOTAL 2010 EXPENSES. NET COSTS MEANS COSTS AFTER ALL ASSOCIATED REIMBURSEMENTS.

THE HQID PROJECT INVOLVES MORE THAN 250 HOSPITALS ACROSS THE NATION WHO SUBMIT THEIR DATA TO PREMIER FOR VALIDATION AND ANALYSIS. IT WAS DESIGNED TO DETERMINE IF ECONOMIC INCENTIVES TO HOSPITALS ARE EFFECTIVE AT IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF INPATIENT CARE. THIS VALUE-BASED PURCHASING PROJECT REWARDS HOSPITALS FOR DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY CARE IN FIVE CLINICAL AREAS; ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT, HEART FAILURE, PNEUMONIA AND HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENT. HUMC IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL IN NEW JERSEY TO BE NAMED A TOP 20% PERFORMER IN THREE AREAS (ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, HEART FAILURE AND PNEUMONIA) FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD OF OCTOBER 2008 TO SEPTEMBER 2009. BASED ON FIFTH-YEAR RESULTS FROM THE HOSPITAL QUALITY INCENTIVE DEMONSTRATION (HQID) PROJECT, HUMC RECEIVED TWO AWARDS FOR "TOP PERFORMANCE" IN THE CLINICAL AREAS OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND PNEUMONIA AND SIX AWARDS FOR "ATTAINMENT" IN THE CLINICAL AREAS OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, PNEUMONIA, CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT, HEART FAILURE, HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENT, AND SURGICAL CARE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. MAGNET STATUS HUMC RECEIVED ITS FOURTH MAGNET DESIGNATION FROM THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER FOR NURSING EXCELLENCE (AN AWARD GIVEN EVERY FOUR YEARS) IN APRIL 2009. IN 1995, HUMC WAS FIRST IN NEW JERSEY TO RECEIVE MAGNET RECOGNITION FOR NURSING. EVERY ORGANIZATION HAS ITS HONORS AND AWARDS TO RECOGNIZE EXCELLENCE IN THE FIELD, THE PURSUIT OF THE HIGHEST VALUES, AND THE ATTAINMENT OF GOALS TO WHICH ALL OTHERS ASPIRE. IN NURSING, THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION THAT A HOSPITAL OR HUMC CAN ATTAIN IS THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER'S MAGNET AWARD - AN AFFIRMATION THAT AN INSTITUTION ATTRACTS AND RETAINS WELL-QUALIFIED NURSES, UPHOLDS STRINGENT STANDARDS FOR NURSING PRACTICE, AND PROMOTES EXCEPTIONAL PATIENT CARE. TO BE A MAGNET HOSPITAL MEANS THAT A NEVER-ENDING CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE EXISTS AT HUMC. IT IS EVIDENT IN THE WAY WE CARE FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, RECOGNIZING THAT EACH PATIENT HAS INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, CONCERNS, AND WAYS OF COPING WITH ILLNESS. TO BE A MAGNET HOSPITAL MEANS THAT HUMC VALUES THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ITS NURSES AND SEEKS THEIR INPUT IN ALL ADMINISTRATIVE AND PATIENT CARE DECISIONS. TO BE A MAGNET HOSPITAL MEANS THAT OTHER LEADING HOSPITALS - SUCH AS MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE CLEVELAND CLINIC, AND JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL - TURN TO THEM FOR EXTENSIVE MENTORING. HUMC IS PROUD OF ITS MANY INNOVATIONS, TECHNOLOGIES, RESEARCH PROJECTS, AND MEDICAL EXPERTISE. BUT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST IS THE ENTITY THAT OFTEN MEANS THE MOST TO THE PATIENTS - UNPARALLELED NURSING EXCELLENCE THAT MAKES HUMC STAND TALL OVER ALL OTHERS.

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY INCLUDES ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ABLATIONS, LEAD EXTRACTIONS, AND ELECTRO ANATOMICAL MAPPING WITH CARDIOMERGE TECHNOLOGY. THE HEART CENTER IS AN OUTPATIENT CARDIAC DEPARTMENT THAT OFFERS STRESS TESTING, ECHOCARDIOGRAMS, HOLTER MONITOR SERVICES, A PACEMAKER CENTER, ELECTRON-BEAM TOMOGRAPHY, ENHANCED EXTERNAL COUNTER PULSATION, AND OUTPATIENT DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES. A NEW PICTURE ARCHIVING COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND REPORT-GENERATING SYSTEM HAS BEEN RECENTLY INSTALLED. THE NEW HEART AND VASCULAR HOSPITAL IS CHARTING THE FUTURE OF CARDIOVASCULAR CARE IN NEW JERSEY. HUMC HAS EMBARKED ON A MISSION TO RECRUIT THE VERY BEST CARDIOLOGISTS IN THE COMMUNITY TO ENHANCE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT SERVICES OFFERED AT THE NEW, CUTTING-EDGE HEART & VASCULAR HOSPITAL. THIS "HOSPITAL WITHIN A HOSPITAL" PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SPACE, SUPERIOR PATIENT CARE, AND ACCESS TO LEADING TECHNOLOGY. CANCER CARE ----------- THE JOHN THEURER CANCER CENTER AT HUMC ("THE CANCER CENTER") IS NEW JERSEY'S LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE CENTER DEDICATED TO THE DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, MANAGEMENT, RESEARCH, SCREENINGS, PREVENTIVE CARE OF PATIENTS WITH ALL TYPES OF CANCER, AND IS AMONG THE NATION'S TOP 10 IN PATIENT VOLUME. THE CANCER CENTER HAS RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 40,000 ACTIVE CASES DURING 2010. EACH WEEK, APPROXIMATELY 150 NEW PATIENTS SEEK OUT HUMC'S SERVICES. ITS ADULT BLOOD AND MARROW STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION PROGRAM, NOW ONE OF THE TOP 10 IN THE UNITED STATES, TREATS MORE THAN 200 PATIENTS A YEAR. HOUSED WITHIN HUMC, THE CANCER CENTER PROVIDES STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, COMPASSIONATE CARE, RESEARCH INNOVATIONS, MEDICAL EXPERTISE, AND A FULL RANGE OF AFTER CARE SERVICES THAT DISTINGUISH THE CANCER CENTER FROM OTHER FACILITIES. THE CANCER CENTER IS COMPOSED OF 14 SPECIALIZED ON-SITE TEAMS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL CARE OF THEIR PATIENTS AND LOVED ONES. EACH OF THE 14 DIVISIONS FEATURES TEAMS OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, TECHNOLOGISTS, AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH CLINICAL AND RESEARCH EXERTISE IN A SPECIFIC TYPE OF CANCER (SUCH AS LEUKEMIA OR BREAST CANCER) OR SPECIFIC SERVICE (SUCH AS SUPPORTIVE CARE AND PAIN MANAGEMENT). THIS APPROACH, WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER A CLOSE-KNIT TEAM OF MEDICAL, RESEARCH, NURSING, AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE, TRANSLATES INTO MORE ADVANCED, FOCUSED CARE FOR PATIENTS. THE CANCER CENTER HAS EXPERIENCED STEADY GROWTH IN ITS CANCER CARE PROGRAMS. IT OFFERS PATIENTS ACCESS TO ONE OF FOURTEEN SPECIALIZED DIVISIONS: BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION, BREAST, GASTROINTESTINAL, GENITOURINARY, GYNECOLOGICAL, HEAD AND NECK, LEUKEMIA, LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE, MULTIPLE MYELOMA, NEURO-ONCOLOGY, SKIN AND SARCOMA, SUPPLEMENTARY CARE AND PAIN MANAGEMENT, THORACIC, AND RESEARCH. IN ADDITION, IT IS ONE OF ONLY 50 PROGRAMS IN THE NATION DESIGNATED AS A COMMUNITY CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM (CCOP) BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI) OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. A CCOP IS A GROUP OF COMMUNITY HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS FUNDED BY A PEER-REVIEWED COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN NCI-SPONSORED CANCER TREATMENT, PREVENTION, AND CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIALS. THE CANCER CENTER ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE RANGE OF ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CAPABILITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ONLY AT MAJOR HOSPITALS SUCH AS HUMC. THESE INCLUDE ALL TYPES OF IMAGING STUDIES, INCLUDING PET SCANNING, MRI, CT SCANNING, AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE; ADVANCED MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL DIAGNOSTICS, SUCH AS STEREOTACTIC BIOPSIES AND SENTINEL LYMPH NODE MAPPING; ROBOTIC AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURES; STATE-OF-THE-ART RADIATION THERAPY, INCLUDING INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY (IMRT), TOMOTHERAPY, IMPLANT AND HIGH-DOSE-RATE BRACHYTHERAPY, AND STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY; NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS, INCLUDING RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION; ADVANCED CHEMOTHERAPY USING NEW MEDICATIONS AND COMBINATIONS; HORMONAL THERAPY; STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION; AND HIGHLY PROMISING IMMUNOTHERAPY USING VACCINES TO DESTROY CANCER CELLS. HOWEVER, AT THE CANCER CENTER, HUMC IS NOT SATISFIED TO PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANCED, STATE-OF-THE-ART SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TODAY. NOR IS IT SATISFIED TO PROVIDE CUTTING-EDGE BASIC RESEARCH, CLINICAL TRIALS, AND INNOVATIVE TREATMENT METHODS THAT ARE NOT FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE IN NEW JERSEY. WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING PEOPLE FACE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF THEIR LIVES - A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER - HUMC REACHES BEYOND ITS FACILITIES, ITS EQUIPMENT, AND ITS TREATMENTS AND OFFERS PATIENTS THE BEST OF HUMC, THE CANCER CARE TEAM OF DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS. NO TREATMENT CAN WORK WITHOUT THE SKILLS, EXPERTISE, AND COMPASSION OF HUMC'S EXTRAORDINARY TEAM OF CANCER CARE EXPERTS. ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE EXTRAORDINARY CARE STARTS WITH EACH MEMBER OF ITS TEAM. HUMC PLEDGES TO PARTNER WITH PATIENTS IN THE FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES, AND TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SUPPORT THEM DURING THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH HUMC. PATIENTS ARE NOT A NUMBER TO HUMC, BUT A MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, AUNT, OR UNCLE. HUMC CARES FOR PATIENTS WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT AS HUMC MAKES THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER WITH PATIENTS. THE CANCER CENTER WORKS CLOSELY WITH SEVERAL CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE THAT OFFER DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CAPABILITIES THAT ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE AT OTHER CANCER FACILITIES IN NEW JERSEY.

THE CANCER CENTER IS THE FIRST CANCER CENTER IN NEW JERSEY TO ACQUIRE A NEW, CUTTING EDGE RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES A RADICALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO TREATING CANCER WITH IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY (IGRT) KNOWN AS THE TRUEBEAM SYSTEM. THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM ALLOWS THE JOHN THEURER CANCER CENTER TO OFFER EVEN FASTER TREATMENTS, ENHANCED ACCURACY, AND QUICKER IMAGING AT LOWER DOSES. BASIC RESEARCH -------------- BASIC RESEARCH STUDIES AT THE CANCER CENTER AND HUMC'S ON-SITE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO THE ORIGINS OF CANCER AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL, HOW AND WHY CELLS PROGRESS INTO CANCER, AND THE BASIC BIOLOGY OF GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE, A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY FATAL SIDE EFFECT OF STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION. STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION IS USED TO TREAT HEMATOLOGICAL (BLOOD) CANCERS, SUCH AS LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA; CANCERS THAT INVOLVE SOLID TUMORS, SUCH AS BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCER; SERIOUS BLOOD DISORDERS; AND IMMUNE SYSTEM DEFICIENCIES.

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE HUMC'S MISSION AND A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE WORLD-CLASS CARE AVAILABLE AT HUMC. HUMC'S CLINICAL, TRANSLATIONAL, AND BASIC SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAMS HAVE GROWN TREMENDOUSLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE OPENING IN 2000 OF THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROW'S CHILDREN. RESEARCH STUDIES GREW FROM 75 IN 1987 TO TODAY'S 475 OPEN PROTOCOLS. HUMC PROTOCOLS ARE SUPPORTED. BY SOME OF THE NATION'S TOP FUNDING SOURCES, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AND FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS SUCH AS PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANIES. RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION ----------------------- THE DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH CONSOLIDATES ALL BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH THAT IS UNDER WAY AT HUMC. THE DEPARTMENT CENTRALIZES THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF RESEARCH, INCLUDING FINANCIAL, LEGAL, AND PROFESSIONAL OVERSIGHT, AND GUIDES THE INVESTIGATOR THROUGH THE MAZE OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REGULATION.

GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT, AND DISCLOSURE	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTION 4	In November of 2009 the Hackensack University Medical (HUMC) Center Board of Governors adopted a number of recommended actions intended to strengthen our Governance and Leadership. The governance changes were approved at the March 16, 2010 meeting of the parent company, Hillcrest Health Service SYSTEM, Inc., (Hillcrest) and included the following actions: Hillcrest was restructured to create reserve powers providing active oversight of HUMC and the HUMC Foundation, as well as to focus on strategic oversight for HUMC including any future affiliation activity. Inactive affiliates under Hillcrest were dissolved. The HUMC Board size was reduced from 62 to 25. The HUMC Board Development Committee conducted a self-assessment to identify needs and all reappointments focused on the appropriate mix of skills and experience. Most exceptions to the existing 9 year term limits were eliminated in order to assure fresh perspective. The committee structure was reorganized from 31 committees and subcommittees down to 9. The charters for all committees were reviewed and revised in order to assure continuity. A non-fiduciary "Advisory Board of HUMC" was formed to provide a forum for individuals with additional expertise to support the activities of HUMC. The existing Conflict of Interest policy was revised to include a "zero tolerance" standard that prohibits any sitting board member from having a business relationship with the medical center. In addition to strengthening of the existing conflicts of interest policy, a Joint Venture Policy was adopted requiring board approval of any prospective joint ventures with oversight by the compliance department once implemented. The policy regarding outside activities by the Board and management was revised to assure that political activity, including activities related to political action committees (PAC) did not impact HUMC's charitable mission or jeopardize our tax exempt status.

AS PART OF THE TAX RETURN PREPARATION PROCESS THE ORGANIZATION HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CPA FIRM WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN BOTH HEALTHCARE AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT TAX RETURN PREPARATION TO PREPARE THE FEDERAL FORM 990. THE CPA FIRM'S TAX PROFESSIONALS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THE SYSTEM TO OBTAIN THE INFORMATION NEEDED IN ORDER TO PREPARE A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE TAX RETURN. THE CPA FIRM PREPARED A DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND FURNISHED IT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR REVIEW. THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS REVIEWED THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND DISCUSSED QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS WITH THE CPA FIRM.

THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES ARE RETURNED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR REVIEW. THEREAFTER THE CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER PREPARES A SUMMARY OF THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES WHICH CONTAINS INFORMATION DISCLOSED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

DISCLOSURE INFORMATION	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS AT LEAST ANNUALLY OVER SEVERAL MEETINGS, AND APPROVES ONLY "TOTAL COMPENSATION" THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS CONCLUDED DOES NOT EXCEED WHAT THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS TO BE REASONABLE COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEE STRUCTURES AND CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS SO AS TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW. THIS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS APPLIES TO ALL FORMS OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, EACH OF WHOM IS "DISINTERESTED" AS DEFINED BY THE IRS IN ITS REGULATIONS DESCRIBING THIS STANDARD. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS DETAILED STUDY USES COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA FOR TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS OF A SIMILAR LEVEL OF NET ANNUAL OPERATING REVENUE IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHIC REGION. NO DATA FROM FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES ARE USED. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS USED BY THE COMMITTEE, INCLUDING ALL ACTIONS DESIGNED TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS, IS APPLIED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED 'DISQUALIFIED PERSONS' UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES. IN ADDITION TO RELYING ON MARKET DATA, THE COMMITTEE APPLIES A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESS JUDGMENT FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION FACTORS, AND THE UNIQUE DEMANDS OF PARTICULAR POSITIONS.
