FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 2	ON JULY 1, 2010, SOMC, AN ENTITY INCLUDED IN THE GROUP EXEMPTION RULING AND THIS CONSOLIDATED FORM 990, MERGED INTO ITS SOLE MEMBER MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION ("MHC"). SOMC FILED A FINAL FEDERAL FORM 990 FOR THE SHORT PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2010 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2010. FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 2010 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2010, SOMC IS INCLUDED AS A DIVISION OF MHC WITHIN THIS CONSOLIDATED GROUP FORM 990. Please note that, during the 2010 year, SOMC utilized a financial assistance policy that was substantially similar to that of MHC and in compliance with state regulations. As a result of the statutory merger in 2010, SOMC, as of December 31, 2010, is in the process of transitioning to the same financial assistance policy of MHC which is expected to be completed during 2012.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	NOT APPLICABLE. THE ORGANIZATION USES FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION, AN ORGANIZATION INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990, PREPARES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH IT MAKES AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE: WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM. AT MERIDIAN HEALTH, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE CARE WE PROVIDE THROUGH OUR HOSPITALS AND PARTNER COMPANIES REACHES FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR FACILITIES. OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS AT THE HEART OF OUR CHARITABLE ROOTS. IN THIS NEW ERA OF HEALTH CARE REFORM, COMMUNITY BASED PREVENTION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN KEEPING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES HEALTHY AND KEEPING HEALTH CARE COSTS DOWN. MERIDIAN REMAINS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING ITS MISSION AND IN 2010, DEVOTED MORE THAN $94 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN ADDITION, AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III THE ORGANIZATION INCURRED BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $3.3 MILLION AND MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $39.2 MILLION WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MERIDIAN'S 2010 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM OR ON REQUEST THROUGH ANY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $43,963,000; THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION ONLY.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDER'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENT, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990 FOR WHICH THIS SCHEDULE H IS BEING FILED, MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION, RECEIVES AN AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY. COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ------------------------------------- THE PROCESS FOR ESTIMATING THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGMENTS. THE CORPORATION HAS IMPLEMENTED A MONTHLY STANDARDIZED APPROACH TO ESTIMATE AND REVIEW THE COLLECTIBILITY OF RECEIVABLES BASED ON THE PAYOR CLASSIFICATION AND THE PERIOD FROM WHICH THE RECEIVABLES HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING. ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE WHEN MANAGEMENT FEELS IT IS PROBABLE THE RECEIVABLE WILL NOT BE RECOVERED. HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND PAYOR REIMBURSEMENT EXPERIENCE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ESTIMATION PROCESS RELATED TO RESERVES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION ASSESSES THE CURRENT STATE OF ITS BILLING FUNCTIONS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY KNOWN COLLECTION OR REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES AND ASSESS THE IMPACT, IF ANY, ON RESERVE ESTIMATES. THE CORPORATION BELIEVES THAT THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ITS RECEIVABLES IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE QUALITY OF ITS BILLING PROCESSES, MOST NOTABLY THOSE RELATED TO OBTAINING THE CORRECT INFORMATION IN ORDER TO BILL EFFECTIVELY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. REVISIONS IN RESERVE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS ESTIMATES ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE. CHARITY CARE ------------ THE CORPORATION PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA DEFINED BY THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE CORPORATION MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED. THESE RECORDS INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOREGONE FOR SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED. THE CORPORATION RECEIVES PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE UNCOMPENSATED CARE PROVIDED. DURING THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009 THE CORPORATION PROVIDED APPROXIMATELY $263,800,000 AND $194,500,000 AT GROSS CHARGES, RESPECTIVELY, OF MEDICAL CARE TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITIES WHO WERE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED OR LACKED THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE. MERIDIAN UTILIZED A COST TO CHARGE RATIO METHODOLOGY IN CALCULATING THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III. MERIDIAN RETAINED THE SERVICES OF AN OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO ACQUIRE DOCUMENTATION FROM NON-COMPLIANT CHARITY CARE PATIENTS. THE CONSULTANT DETERMINES AND RECORDS, AT GROSS CHARGES, THE AMOUNT OF THE NON-COMPLIANT CHARITY CARE PATIENTS FOR WHICH THEY DO NOT RECEIVE ANY DOCUMENTATION. MERIDIAN APPLIES ITS COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO THE GROSS CHARGE AMOUNT DOCUMENTED BY THE CONSULTANT TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT DISCLOSED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2010 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE 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 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 AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA 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 FELT 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 GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. 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 -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY 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. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT 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 BAD DEBT 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 HOSPITALS' 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 INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING 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 AUDITING 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 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 A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL INVESTS SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN SYSTEMS AND STAFF TRAINING TO ASSIST PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
MEDICARE SHORTFALL CONTINUED	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	FOR JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER AND OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER, MERIDIAN USES THE SIEMENS COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM TO DETERMINE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS. A LEVEL OF COST METHODOLOGIES ARE APPLIED IN ORDER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRST LEVEL IS THE DIRECT ASSIGNMENT METHODOLOGY (I.E., NURSING FLOORS); THE SECOND LEVEL IS THE RELATIVE VALUE UNIT METHODOLOGY, USING MEDICARE'S NATIONAL RVUS (I.E., EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, RADIOLOGY, LAB); AND THE THIRD LEVEL IS THE RATIO COST TO CHARGE METHODOLOGY (I.E., DRUGS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES). INDIRECT COSTS FOR SUPPORT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES ARE CALCULATED USING THE MEDICARE STEP-DOWN PRINCIPLES. AS A RESULT OF A STATUTORY MERGER, SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER BECAME A DIVISION OF MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2010. SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER HAS NOT INTEGRATED ITS SYSTEMS INTO MERIDIAN'S SYSTEMS AND DOES NOT USE THE SAME COSTING METHODOLOGY AS MERIDIAN. SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER USES THE RATIO COST TO CHARGE METHODOLOGY TO CALCULATE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS.
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	MERIDIAN HANDLES ALL COLLECTION OF DEBT IN THE SAME FASHION REGARDLESS OF TYPE OF PAYER. MERIDIAN UTILIZES THE FAIR ISAAC BAD DEBT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ITS COLLECTION PRACTICES. MERIDIAN ALSO ROUTINELY REFERS UNPAID PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO VARIOUS COLLECTION AGENCIES WHEN THE ACCOUNTS HAVE AGED AND ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. BELOW IS THE PROCESS FOR THE COLLECTION OF BAD DEBT: - ACCOUNTS UNDER $7,500 THAT REACH THE END OF THE CYCLE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER TO THE FAIR ISAAC BAD DEBT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. - ACCOUNTS OVER $25,000 ARE APPROVED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES. - PAYMENTS AND FILES ARE RECONCILED THROUGH THE FAIR ISAAC BAD DEBT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REPORT (RMSSMS REC TOTALS) WHICH IS SENT TO MERIDIAN'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT. - AUTOMATIC TRANSFER TO A SECONDARY COLLECTION AGENCY OCCURS 180 DAYS AFTER PRIMARY PLACEMENT. - AUTOMATIC TRANSFER TO A TERTIARY ATTORNEY OCCURS 180 DAYS AFTER SECONDARY ASSIGNMENT.
FACILITY POLICIES AND PRACTICES	SCHEDULE H, PART V; SECTION B	NOT APPLICABLE.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT	SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	ASSESSING THE LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS -------------------------------- IN 2010, MERIDIAN EMBARKED ON A STRATEGIC PROCESS OF REASSESSING THE AREA'S HEALTHCARE NEEDS. AN INTERNAL COMMUNITY HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS AND THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF SENIOR LEADERS FROM EACH MERIDIAN HOSPITAL, PARTNER COMPANIES AND OTHER CORPORATE DEPARTMENTS AND EXISTS FOR CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT, PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE COMMITTEE CONVENES ON A REGULAR BASIS, HAS DEVELOPED A WORK PLAN TO ENSURE GOALS AND DELIVERABLES ARE ACHIEVED, AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS WITH REGARD TO COMMUNITY BENEFITS. USING A NATIONALLY RENOWNED RESEARCH FIRM, MERIDIAN SURVEYED 1,000 HOUSEHOLDS VIA TELEPHONE IN MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES TO GATHER LOCAL RESIDENTS' VIEWS OF THEIR COMMUNITY'S MOST CRITICAL HEALTH NEEDS. THIS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT, A FOLLOW-UP TO A SIMILAR STUDY CONDUCTED IN 2006, IS A SYSTEMATIC, DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE HEALTH STATUS, BEHAVIORS AND NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS AND WILL SERVE AS A TOOL TO REACHING THREE BASIC GOALS: TO IMPROVE RESIDENTS' HEALTH STATUS, AND ELEVATE THEIR OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE, TO REDUCE THE HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RESIDENTS AND TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO PREVENTIVE SERVICES FOR ALL RESIDENTS. THE SURVEY INSTRUMENT USED FOR THE STUDY IS LARGELY BASED ON THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION'S BEHAVIORAL RISK SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEYS AND CUSTOMIZED QUESTIONS ADDRESSING GAPS IN INDICATOR DATA RELATIVE TO HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION AS WELL AS OTHER RECOGNIZED HEALTH ISSUES. THE SAMPLE DESIGN FOR THIS EFFORT CONSISTED OF A STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLE OF 1,054 INDIVIDUALS AGE 18 AND OLDER AND WAS CONSTRUCTED TO INCLUDE MINIMUM SAMPLE THRESHOLDS FOR EACH HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA AS WELL AS AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINO RESPONDENTS. IN ADDITION, FIVE FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A TOTAL OF 32 KEY PERSONS IN THE COMMUNITY INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS. THESE FINDINGS REPRESENT QUALITATIVE RATHER THAN QUANTITATIVE DATA. THE GROUPS WERE DESIGNED TO GATHER INPUT FROM PARTICIPANTS REGARDING THEIR OPINIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE HEALTH OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA. A VARIETY OF SECONDARY DATA SOURCES WERE ALSO CONSULTED TO COMPLEMENT THE SURVEY AND FOCUS GROUP DATA AND INCLUDES; STATE OF NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES, NEW JERSEY UNIFORM CRIME REPORT, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL & PREVENTION, ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH INSTITUTE BUSINESS INFORMATION SOLUTIONS GROUP DEMOGRAPHIC PORTFOLIO (PROJECTIONS BASED ON US CENSUS) AND NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS. THESE SOURCES HAVE DATA AND INFORMATION ON PRIMARY AND CHRONIC DISEASE NEEDS AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES OF THE UNINSURED, LOW INCOME AND MINORITY GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, THESE AND OTHER SECONDARY SOURCES WERE USED TO DEVELOP A LIST OF EXISTING RESOURCES OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES AT MERIDIAN AS WELL AS OTHER PROVIDERS IN THE AREA. MERIDIAN HAS IDENTIFIED FOUR SOURCES OF BENCHMARKING DATA THAT IT WILL USE THROUGHOUT THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND INCLUDES, TRENDING DATA FROM THE SIMILAR SURVEY CONDUCTED IN 2006, NEW JERSEY RISK FACTOR DATA FROM SECONDARY SOURCES LISTED PREVIOUSLY, NATIONWIDE RISK FACTOR DATA, ALSO FROM SECONDARY SOURCES AND FINALLY, HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TARGETS. HEALTHY PEOPLE PROVIDES SCIENCE-BASED, 10-YEAR NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF ALL AMERICANS. FINDINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT ARE REVIEWED TOGETHER WITH MERIDIAN'S COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, PHYSICIANS, OTHER AREA HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, WITH THE GOAL OF SELECTING AND PRIORITIZING THE TOP HEALTH CONCERNS FOR MERIDIAN AND OTHERS TO ADDRESS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WILL RESULT IN HOSPITAL-BASED, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, WHICH WILL BE COMPLETE IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2012. MERIDIAN CONVENES SEVERAL HOSPITAL-BASED, COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES (CAC) WHOSE MISSION IS TO ASSIST US IN IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING LOCAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS. COMMITTEE MEMBERS REPRESENT A CROSS-SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF AGE, GENDER, RELIGION, ETHNICITY, INTERESTS AND PROFESSIONAL STATUS. OUR PARTNERS IN HEALTH AND UNIDOS, MERIDIAN'S LATINO COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE, COMMITTEES ARE COMPRISED OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC CIVIC AND COMMUNITY LEADERS RESPECTIVELY AND ARE FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING HEALTH ISSUES AND DISPARITIES AFFECTING COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. CURRENTLY, MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE FROM THE SURROUNDING AREA SERVE AS MEMBERS OF MERIDIAN'S COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES. MERIDIAN PARTICIPATES IN MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES' STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS CALLED, MOBILIZING FOR ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS (MAPP). STAKEHOLDERS FROM LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, AREA AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS WORK TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIC HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING THE COUNTIES. THESE ISSUES INCLUDED BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE, COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE DESPITE THE HIGH COST OF LIVING IN MONMOUTH COUNTY, TOBACCO, DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS, CANCER MORBIDITY, AND THE GROWING OLDER ADULT POPULATION. THE PLANNING PROCESS RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP) FOR EACH COUNTY. IN 2010, MERIDIAN COMMITTED TO SHARE THE RESULTS OF ITS COMMISSIONED NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESEARCH TO FURTHER REFINE AND ADJUST THE EXISTING CHIPS FOR BOTH COUNTIES. IN ADDITION, MERIDIAN MAINTAINS PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATES WITH A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY AND HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION/AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION, MONMOUTH COUNTY CANCER COALITION, OCEAN COUNTY CANCER COALITION, PEDIATRIC ASTHMA COALITION OF NJ, NJ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES, AS WELL AS COUNTY AND LOCAL MUNICIPAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, SEVERAL AREA YMCAS AND OTHERS.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT	CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. ("MERIDIAN") IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT OF THE MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. AND AFFILIATES SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"). THIS INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A GROUP OF AFFILIATED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. THE SOLE MEMBER OR STOCKHOLDER OF EACH ENTITY IS EITHER MERIDIAN OR ANOTHER SYSTEM AFFILIATE CONTROLLED BY MERIDIAN. SYSTEM IS AN INTEGRATED NETWORK OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES AND SURROUNDING AREAS. ITS TAX-EXEMPT AFFILIATES FILE A GROUP FORM 990 TAX RETURN, "MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM - SUBORDINATES." MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION IS INCLUDED IN THE SUBORDIATES TAX RETURN. MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM IS AN ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS TAX-EXEMPT PURSUANT TO INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(C)(3) AND AS A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION PURSUANT TO INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 509(A)(3). AS THE PARENT ORGANIZATION OF A LARGE TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM IN NEW JERSEY, MERIDIAN STRIVES TO CONTINUALLY DEVELOP AND OPERATE A MULTI-HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT THROUGH THE PROVISION OF A COMPREHENSIVE SPECTRUM OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. MERIDIAN ENSURES THAT ITS SYSTEM PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. NO INDIVIDUALS ARE DENIED NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE, TREATMENT OR SERVICES. SYSTEM ACTIVE HOSPITALS INCLUDE: JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER, OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER AND K. HOVNANIAN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. EACH OF THESE HOSPITALS OPERATES CONSISTENTLY WITH THE CRITERIA OUTLINED IN IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545. AT MERIDIAN HEALTH, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE CARE WE PROVIDE THROUGH OUR HOSPITALS AND PARTNER COMPANIES REACHES FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR FACILITIES. OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS AT THE HEART OF OUR CHARITABLE ROOTS. IN THIS NEW ERA OF HEALTHCARE REFORM, COMMUNITY BASED PREVENTION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN KEEPING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES HEALTHY AND KEEPING HEALTH CARE COSTS DOWN. MERIDIAN REMAINS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING ITS MISSION AND IN 2010, DEVOTED MORE THAN $94 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN ADDITION, AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III THE ORGANIZATION INCURRED BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $3.3 MILLION AND MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $39.2 MILLION WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MERIDIAN'S 2010 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM OR ON REQUEST THROUGH ANY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES. FACING HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES ---------------------------- EVERY DAY, HOSPITALS FACE HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES HEAD-ON, WHETHER TREATING A PATIENT WHO PRESENTS AT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN MEDICAL CRISIS, EDUCATING AND SCREENING PATIENTS TO PREVENT DISEASE, OR KEEPING THE HOSPITAL OPEN DURING A TIME OF INCREASED ECONOMIC PRESSURE. MERIDIAN HEALTH IS PROUD THAT IT HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE AND ENHANCE TO ITS ROBUST COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAM DESPITE CHALLENGING ECONOMIC TIMES. BY COMMUNITY BENEFITS, WE ARE REFERRING TO THOSE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WOULD NOT OR COULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT OF MERIDIAN'S SIX HOSPITALS: JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER AND K. HOVNANIAN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. IN 2010, MERIDIAN HEALTH INVESTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PROVIDE CARE TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR HEALTHCARE, TO ABSORB THE SHORTFALLS OF GOVERNMENTAL PAYERS AND MANAGED CARE PROGRAMS AND TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE SCREENINGS AND OTHER PREVENTIVE EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES THAT IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. THE SUCCESS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF MERIDIAN'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE EFFORTS OF ITS COMMITTED STAFF OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, HEALTHCARE SPECIALISTS AND COMMUNITY EDUCATORS ALONG WITH DEDICATED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HELP MERIDIAN IDENTIFY, DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES THAT POSITIVELY IMPACT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	DELIVERING ON COMMUNITY COMMITMENT ---------------------------------- HOSPITALS TODAY FACE SERIOUS CHALLENGES. REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES, WHETHER FROM THE GOVERNMENT OR FROM MANAGED CARE COMPANIES, RARELY COVERS THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DELIVERY OF QUALITY CARE. NEARLY 17 PERCENT OF NEW JERSEY'S POPULATION LIVES WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE, MANY FOREGO PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE. AS A RESULT, THEY OFTEN LAND IN EMERGENCY ROOMS IN MEDICAL CRISIS, PLACING THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF THEIR CARE BACK ON THE SHOULDERS OF AREA HOSPITALS. ADD TO THAT THE NEED FOR HOSPITALS TO PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED, SUCH AS A TERRORIST ATTACK OR FLU PANDEMIC, AND YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE MULTITUDE OF CHALLENGES FACING ALREADY STRAINED HOSPITAL SYSTEMS. IN SPITE OF ALL THIS, MERIDIAN HEALTH DELIVERS ON ITS COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES. MERIDIAN PROVIDES A CONTINUUM OF CARE THROUGH ITS SIX HOSPITALS - JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER AND K.
