X X X PART I, LINE 6A - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN A SPECIAL SECTION OF HAMILTONHEALTH, A MAGAZINE PUBLISHED QUARTERLY BY HAMILTON HEATH CARE SYSTEM (HHCS). HAMILTONHEALTH IS MADE AVAILABLE BY DIRECT MAIL TO HOUSE-HOLDS IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA: WAITING AREAS AROUND THE CAMPUS; IN WAITING AREAS OF PHYSICIAN OFFICES IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA; AND ON THE HHCS WEBSITE, WWW.HAMILTONHEALTH.COM. PART I, LINE 7 - THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE OF CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS WERE DERIVED FROM COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE TOTAL EXPENSE FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN A WAS $207,721,941. THE BAD DEBT INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS $31,571,211. AFTER BAD DEBT WAS DEDUCTED FROM THE TOTAL EXPENSES, THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL EXPENSES USED TO CALCULATE THE PERCENT IN LINE 7, COLUMN F WAS $176,150,730. PART I, LINE 7G - IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS MISSION, HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES CERTAIN SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY AT A LOSS. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE OBSTETRICS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, HOME HEALTH AND HOSPICE. PART III, LINE 4 - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS ARE BILLED DIRECTLY AND THE PATIENT'S PORTION IS DETERMINED AND BILLED SUBSEQUENTLY. ACCOUNTS NOT MEETING CHARITY ASSISTANCE GUIDELINES AND UNPAID AFTER CERTAIN COLLECTION EFFORTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR HAMILTON HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, INC., WHICH INCLUDES HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER, REPORTS THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AT ESTABLISHED RATES AND CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE: "THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE AND OTHER COLLECTION TRENDS. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES." SINCE HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES CARE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, A PORTION OF THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT. PART III, LINE 8 - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER BELIEVES THAT THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT. IT IS LIKELY THAT MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED UPON ACCEPTANCE OF PAYMENT LESS THAN COST. THE AMOUNT REPORTED WAS DERIVED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES ALL SERVICE LINES AND PAYORS. PART III, LINE 9B - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER'S COLLECTIONS POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE MEDICALLY INDIGENT. PATIENTS WHO STATE THAT THEY HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES OR AN INABILITY TO PAY ARE SCREENED FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY ASSISTANCE UNDER THE MEDICAL CENTER'S POLICY. QUALIFYING PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS ARE PARTIALLY OR FULLY WRITTEN-OFF UNDER POLICY PROVISIONS. UPON DETERMINATION OF PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY, BALANCES NOT QUALIFYING FOR ASSISTANCE ARE SUBJECTED TO A COLLECTION CYCLE WITH REGULAR NOTICES AND STATEMENTS. IF PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE UPON COMPLETION OF THE COLLECTION CYCLE, THE ACCOUNT IS WRITTEN-OFF AND REFERRED FOR EXTERNAL COLLECTION FOLLOW-UP. PART VI, LINE 2 - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER, IN CONJUNCTION WITH HAMILTON HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND OTHER AFFILIATES, WORKS CLOSELY WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGENCIES TO ASSESS AND MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS. IN ORDER TO ASSESS UNMET PHYSICIAN NEEDS OF WHITFIELD AND MURRAY COUNTIES, PHYSICIAN NEEDS ASSESSMENTS ARE PERIODICALLY CONDUCTED, MOST RECENTLY IN MAY, 2010. PART VI, LINE 3 - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER (HMC) PROVIDES CARE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY.

THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ASSIST PATIENTS WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND PROCESS THE APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL. HMC ALSO EMPLOYS THE SERVICES OF A MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY SERVICE TO ASSIST ELIGIBLE PATIENTS WITH OBTAINING MEDICAID COVERAGE. PART VI, LINE 4 - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA CONSISTS OF WHITFIELD AND MURRAY COUNTIES IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA AND REPRESENTS 97% OF THE FACILITY'S VOLUME.

PART VI, LINE 6 - HAMILTON MEDICAL CENTER (HMC), INCLUDING ITS RELATED AFFILIATES, IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES WITH THE GOAL OF PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. HMC SUPPORTS THIS MISSION WITH A COMMUNITY BOARD, OPEN MEDICAL STAFF AND AN EMERGENCY ROOM AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY.
