| BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER-BRIGHTON | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 2: IN AUGUST 2024, BMC HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. FORMED THE CORPORATION BMC COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CORPORATION (BMC CHC) TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A HOSPITAL OR HOSPITALS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE SERVICES. BMC CHC ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE ASSETS OF THE HOSPITALS FORMERLY KNOWN AS GOOD SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER AND ST. ELIZABETH'S MEDICAL CENTER FROM STEWARD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, LLC AND ACREFI CS U, LLC. THE ACQUISITION CLOSED ON OCTOBER 1, 2024. PURSUANT TO THE ACQUISITION, THE ASSETS OF ST. ELIZABETH MEDICAL CENTER WERE ASSIGNED TO BMC COMMUNITY HOSPITAL CORPORATION II (BMC CHC II) ON OCTOBER 1, 2024. BMC CHC II WAS LEGALLY RENAMED BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER BRIGHTON-CORPORATION (BMC-BRIGHTON) EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2025. |
| BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER-BRIGHTON | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13H: UNDER BMC'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAVE APPLIED FOR ONE OF THE COMMONWEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS (MASSHEALTH, MEDICAID, HEALTH SAFETY NET, ETC.) OR HAVE BEEN PROVIDED URGENT/EMERGENT SERVICES. IN THOSE INSTANCES, PATIENTS ARE VIEWED AS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THESE CHARGES AND THE HOSPITAL SUBMITS THE CHARGE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE HEALTH SAFETY NET. |
| PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13A: | FOR PATIENTS WHO FALL OUTSIDE THE COMMONWEALTH'S ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, PATIENTS ARE CHARGED AT THE SAME LEVELS AS INSURERS ARE CHARGED, BUT THEY ARE OFFERED A PROMPT-PAY DISCOUNT (REGARDLESS OF INCOME LEVEL) BASED ON THE UNCOMPENSATED CARE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IF THE PAYMENTS ARE MADE WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS FROM THE AGREEMENT. |

| PART I, LINE 3C: | FOR PATIENTS WHO FALL OUTSIDE THE COMMONWEALTH'S ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, PATIENTS ARE CHARGED AT THE SAME LEVELS AS INSURERS ARE CHARGED, BUT THEY ARE OFFERED A PROMPT-PAY DISCOUNT (REGARDLESS OF INCOME LEVEL) BASED ON THE UNCOMPENSATED CARE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IF THE PAYMENTS ARE MADE WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS FROM THE AGREEMENT.PART I, LINE 5C:THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE DID NOT EXCEED BUDGETED AMOUNTS. THE BUDGETED AMOUNTS ARE PREDICTED CHARITY CARE AMOUNTS. THE ORGANIZATION DID NOT HAVE ANY EXCESS FUNDS. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | FOR THE CALCULATION OF COSTS OF CHARITY CARE (LINE 7A) & MEDICAID COST (LINE 7B), AN OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED. A COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS DETERMINED BY DIVIDING THE TOTAL CHARGES FOR ALL SERVICES INTO THE TOTAL COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES. THE RATIO IS MULTIPLIED BY THE CHARGES FOR CHARITY CARE AND MEDICAID TO OBTAIN THEIR RESPECTIVE COSTS.FOR THE CALCULATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES (LINE 7E) DISCRETE COSTING WAS USED. FOR THE CALCULATION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION COST (LINE 7F) THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY (CMS FORM 2552) WAS USED. CMS FORM 2552 IS A REQUIRED ANNUAL FILING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F:THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE WAS $0. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2025, BMC-BRIGHTON RECOGNIZED NO FAVORABLE OR UNFAVORABLE SETTLEMENTS FROM MEDICARE, MEDICAID, WELLSENSE, BLUE CROSS AND OTHER PAYORS RELATED TO PRIOR YEARS, AS THOSE WOULD BELONG TO STEWARD. |
| PART III, LINE 2: | SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3 REPORTS BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST. PATIENT PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS THAT ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT ARE RECORDED AS A BAD DEBT RECOVERY, REDUCING THE GROSS BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF. |
| PART III, LINE 3: | THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATED $0 OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) AS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE DETAIL OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS PROCESSED IN ITS SYSTEM. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS ADDRESSED IN FOOTNOTES 2(S)(IV) AND 2(T) FOUND ON PAGES 19 AND 20 OF ITS MOST RECENT AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF $118,652,001 (W/S D-1 PART 11, LINE 49 BMC & BROCKTON AND W/S D PART V, LINE 202, COLS. 5-7, FILED FY25 MEDICARE COST REPORT) WERE CALCULATED USING THE CMS FORM 2552 METHODOLOGY OF DETERMINING MEDICARE COSTS. THIS USES THE STEP DOWN METHOD OF DETERMINING FULLY-ALLOCATED COSTS BY DISTINCT CLINICAL COST CENTERS AS DEFINED BY CMS. THESE FULLY-ALLOCATED COSTS ARE APPLIED AGAINST TOTAL CHARGES TO CALCULATE A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO MEDICARE CHARGES BY DISTINCT CLINICAL COST CENTERS TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE COSTS. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | POPULATIONS EXEMPT FROM COLLECTION ACTIVITIESTHE HOSPITAL WILL NOT REQUIRE PRE-ADMISSION OR PRE-TREATMENT DEPOSITS FROM INDIVIDUALS REQUIRING EMERGENCY SERVICES OR DETERMINED TO BE LOW-INCOME. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS AND PATIENT POPULATIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM ANY COLLECTION OR BILLING PROCEDURES BEYOND THE INITIAL BILL PURSUANT TO STATE REGULATIONS:A. PATIENTS WITH MASSHEALTH, EMERGENCY AID TO THE ELDERLY, DISABLED AND CHILDREN OF THE DISABLED, CHILDREN, AND FULL HEALTH SAFETY NET OR PATIENTS WITH COUNTY MEDICAL SERVICES PROGRAM OR PARTIAL HEPATOSPLENOMEGALY BELOW THE PROGRAM-DEFINED FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL OR MODIFIED ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME GUIDELINE, OR OTHERS DETERMINED TO BE LOW-INCOME PATIENTS ARE EXEMPT FROM COLLECTION SUBJECT TO:1. THE HOSPITAL MAY SEEK COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST ANY LOW-INCOME PATIENT FOR THEIR REQUIRED CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES THAT ARE SET FORTH BY EACH SPECIFIC PROGRAM.2. THE HOSPITAL MAY SEEK COLLECTION TO ALLOW A PATIENT TO MEET THE COMMONWEALTH ONE-TIME DEDUCTIBLE.3. THE HOSPITAL MAY ALSO INITIATE BILLING OR COLLECTION FOR A LOW-INCOME PATIENT WHO ALLEGES THAT HE OR SHE IS A PARTICIPANT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT COVERS THE COSTS OF THE HOSPITAL SERVICES, BUT WHO FAILS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF HIS OR HER PARTICIPATION AND WHOSE INSURANCE CANNOT BE VERIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL ELIGIBILITY SYSTEM. UPON RECEIPT OF SATISFACTORY PROOF THAT A PATIENT IS A PARTICIPANT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, INCLUDING RECEIPT OR VERIFICATION FROM THE INSURANCE CARRIER, THE HOSPITAL SHALL CEASE ITS BILLING OR COLLECTION ACTIVITIES.4. THE HOSPITAL MAY CONTINUE COLLECTION ACTION ON ANY LOW-INCOME PATIENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED PRIOR TO THE LOW-INCOME PATIENT DETERMINATION, PROVIDED THAT THE CURRENT LOW-INCOME PATIENT STATUS HAS BEEN TERMINATED OR EXPIRED. HOWEVER, ONCE A PATIENT IS DETERMINED ELIGIBLE AND ENROLLED IN THE HEALTH SAFETY NET, MASSHEALTH, OR CERTAIN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, THE HOSPITAL WILL CEASE COLLECTION ACTIVITY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE PATIENT'S ELIGIBILITY.5. THE HOSPITAL MAY SEEK COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST ANY OF THE PATIENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAMS LISTED ABOVE FOR NON-COVERED SERVICES THAT THE PATIENT HAS AGREED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, PROVIDED THAT THE HOSPITAL OBTAINED THE PATIENT'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT TO BE BILLED FOR THE SERVICE. |
| PART VI, LINE 2: | NEEDS ASSESSMENTBMC-BRIGHTON IS JOINING THE BOSTON COMMUNITY HEALTH COLLABORATIVE (BCHC) ALONGSIDE BMC AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PARTNERS IN THE CITY. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING THE COLLABORATIVE'S CHNA FOR THE HOSPITAL. THE MOST RECENT CHNA WAS CONDUCTED IN 2021 UNDER PRIOR OWNERSHIP. THE COLLABORATIVE'S CHNA PROCESS INCORPORATES EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK VIA A SURVEY AND COMMUNITY LEADER INPUT VIA FOCUS GROUPS, SECTOR FOCUS GROUPS, AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING THE PUBLICATION OF THIS CHNA IN MID-2026.IN ADDITION TO THE CHNA PROCESS, BMCHS HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AND INTERNAL STRUCTURES FOR ASSESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS. AS A NEW MEMBER OF BMCHS, BMC-BRIGHTON BENEFITS FROM OUR ROBUST TRADITION OF USING PATIENT DATA AND COMMUNITY INPUT TO INFORM SYSTEM DIRECTION AND STRATEGY. BMCHS DESIGNS HEALTHCARE WITH AND FOR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES BY INTERROGATING RACIAL DISPARITIES AT THE ROOT CAUSE. BMCHS IS INVESTED IN DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE INTERVENTIONS TO CLOSE THE GAPS IN HEALTH EQUITY BY INTENTIONALLY BRINGING OUR COMMUNITIES TO THE TABLE. WE ACTIVELY SEEK PATIENT INPUT, VALUE THEIR EXPERIENCES, AND ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. BMCHS IS DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING AND SUPPORTING MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS THAT ADVANCE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AND IMPLEMENT SCALABLE APPROACHES AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT CAN IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLBEING.BMC-BRIGHTON IS ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING A PATIENT FAMILY ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO PROVIDE INPUT ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES REGARDING PATIENT EXPERIENCE. THE WORK IS STILL IN EARLY STAGES, BUT WILL BE MODELED AFTER BMC'S PFAC AS AN EXAMPLE OF STRUCTURE, TOPIC INCLUSION, AND INCORPORATION OF LEARNINGS ACROSS THE HOSPITAL. IN ADDITION, OUR HEALTH QUALITY & EQUITY COMMITTEE (HQEC) SERVES AS A SHARED FORUM FOR LEADERS ACROSS CLINICAL, OPERATIONAL, AND COMMUNITY-FACING TEAMS TO ALIGN ON EQUITY PRIORITIES, REDUCE SILOS, AND COORDINATE STRATEGIES, REINFORCING A MORE INTEGRATED AND SYSTEM-WIDE APPROACH TO ADVANCING HEALTH EQUITY. THIS COMMITTEE ALSO HAS PATIENT MEMBERSHIP REPRESENTATION. THIS PAST YEAR, THE HQEC INFORMED A MORE EXPANSIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT APPROACH AND SUPPORTED THE EXPANSION OF PATIENT INSIGHT GROUPS ACROSS DEPARTMENTS. BMCHS'S OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS HOSTS A BUSY CALENDAR OF EVENTS BOTH BMCHS-MANAGED AND COMMUNITY-RUN WHERE WE ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND COLLECT INPUT. IN FY25, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TEAM FOCUSED ON GETTING TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY IN AND AROUND BRIGHTON WHERE BMC-BRIGHTON IS LOCATED. THIS INCLUDED PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE VERONICA B. SMITH SENIOR CENTER, CHARLES RIVER COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, AND THE ALLSTON BRIGHTON HEALTH COLLABORATIVE; AS WELL AS FOR EVENTS LIKE THE BRIGHTON FARMER'S MARKET, BRAZILIAN HERITAGE FESTIVAL, AND THE ANNUAL ALLSTON VILLAGE STREET FAIR FESTIVAL. AT MANY OF THESE EVENTS WE INCLUDE CLINICAL STAFF MEMBERS AND HEALTH INFORMATION IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. IN FY26, THE TEAM HAS AN EXTENSIVE CALENDAR PLANNED, INCLUDING EVENTS LIKE A RUSSIAN UKRAINE COMMUNITY CONVERSATION, A NEW PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING MOBILE HEALTHCARE VEHICLE, AND AN ONGOING PRESENCE AT THE BRIGHTON FARMER'S MARKET. THROUGH THE EQUITY PARTNERSHIP NETWORK, YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-FACING GROUPS, THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS WORKS TO MAINTAIN A CONTINUOUS FEEDBACK LOOP WITH RESIDENTS, PATIENTS, AND LOCAL PARTNERS. THIS ENSURES THAT OUR HEALTH EQUITY STRATEGIES, BOTH WITHIN THE HOSPITAL AND ACROSS THE NEIGHBORHOODS WE SERVE, ARE INFORMED BY THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS.IN ADDITION TO WORKING WITH LARGE ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS, BMCHS IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING SMALLER COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, GRASSROOTS LEADERS, AND NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS. THESE PARTNERSHIPS HELP US REACH POPULATIONS THAT MAY NOT REGULARLY ENGAGE WITH LARGER INSTITUTIONS, ALLOWING US TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, PROMOTE WELLNESS, AND IMPROVE ACCESS TO PREVENTIVE SERVICES WITHIN TRUSTED LOCAL SETTINGS. AS WE GET TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY AT BMC-BRIGHTON, WE ARE WORKING HARD TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS.IN 2017, BMC IMPLEMENTED THRIVE, A FIRST-IN-NATION SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SCREENING PROGRAM. THRIVE ASSESSES PATIENTS FOR HOUSING AND FOOD INSECURITY, EDUCATION ACCESS, AND OTHER UNDERLYING NEEDS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES.

WE CONTINUE TO GO BEYOND TYPICAL HEALTHCARE, REMOVING BARRIERS TO CARE BY PAIRING DEEP CLINICAL EXPERTISE WITH A PROFOUND COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL AND STRUCTURAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH, ENSURING PATIENTS ARE NOT JUST TREATED BUT EMPOWERED TO THRIVE. MANY OF OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES GO BEYOND WHAT GOVERNMENT OR INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT WILL FUND. OUR MISSION DRIVES US TO DO THE MOST WITH LIMITED RESOURCES. WITH PHILANTHROPIC FUNDING AT BMC, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SCALED INNOVATIONS THAT SUPPORT OUR PATIENT POPULATION. BMC'S PROGRAMS OFTEN BECOME NATIONAL MODELS OR ARE EMBEDDED IN POLICY DESIGN AT THE STATE LEVEL BECAUSE WE HAVE PROVEN THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. AS WE GET TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY AT BMC BRIGHTON, WE ARE IDENTIFYING KEY PRIORITY AREAS THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM EXPANSION OF BMC'S EXISTING PROGRAMS. THIS WORK MAY INCLUDE SOME OF OUR MOST INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON DRIVERS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES LIKE HOUSING, FOOD INSECURITY, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND BARRIERS TO CARE. THESE PROGRAMS ARE FULLY FUNDED BY PHILANTHROPY, AND WE ARE WORKING TO EXPAND PHILANTHROPIC OPERATIONS TO BMC BRIGHTON.BMC-BRIGHTON IS NOW A PART OF BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER HEALTH SYSTEM (BMCHS), WHICH SERVES AS AN ANCHOR OF HEALTH CARE PAYMENT AND DELIVERY TO LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS IN THE REGION.

FURTHERMORE, BMCHS ALWAYS STEPS UP WHEN THERE IS NEED.

TODAY, WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO REBUILD TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY BY LISTENING, ENGAGING, AND LEARNING. |
