THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25(A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $49,375,104

PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:
HF HEALTH BELIEVES THAT THE STRENGTH AND VITALITY OF A COMMUNITY HAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE BEHAVIORS OF ITS RESIDENTS AND THAT THERE IS A DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN THE VIABILITY OF A COMMUNITY AND THE ATTITUDE OF ITS RESIDENTS TOWARD HEALTHIER BEHAVIORS. THEREFORE, HF HEALTH INCLUDES IN ITS COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY BENEFIT A FOCUS ON DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY TO BOTH IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENSURE THAT CRITICAL MESSAGES ARE HEARD ON THE BENEFITS OF HEALTHIER BEHAVIORS. HF HEALTH LEADERS COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY TASK FORCES AND COALITIONS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR SERVICE AREA.

PART III, LINE 2:
THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS STATED BASED UPON GROSS CHARGES.

PART III, LINE 4:
IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE SYSTEM ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDE BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND CO-PAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR A PORTION OF THE BILL), THE SYSTEM RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE. AT SUCH POINT IN TIME THAT A BILLED SERVICE IS BELIEVED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE, THE RELATED RECEIVABLE IS WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. ESTIMATES OF RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS ARE ACCRUED IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE RECEIVED.FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS STIPULATED IN THE SYSTEM'S PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AT NO COST. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE SYSTEM OFFERS A DISCOUNT OFF STANDARD RATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED THAT RESULT IN NET CHARGES THAT DO NOT EXCEED 138% OF MEDICARE RATES.THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES THE COSTS OF SUCH UNPAID SERVICES BY APPLYING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO TO THE BILLED CHARGES.

PART III, LINE 9B:
"SHOULD A PATIENT BE DEEMED ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE ANY COLLECTION EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE QUALIFYING SERVICE ARE SUSPENDED.IF THE PATIENT IS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (PFAP) PRIOR TO BILLING, NO BILL IS EVER GENERATED AND THEREFORE THE ELEMENTS OF THE COLLECTION POLICY ARE NEVER INVOKED.

THE ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IS AN ESSENTIAL FUNCTION OF A HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION FOR SEVERAL REASONS. FIRST, IT PROVIDES AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND MAJOR HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES AND INSIGHT INTO WHAT SERVICES SHOULD BE OFFERED TO MEET THOSE NEEDS. SECOND, BY UNDERSTANDING THE MAJOR HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, STRATEGIES CAN BE PRIORITIZED AND A MORE TAILORED APPROACH DEVELOPED, RESULTING IN GREATER USE OF THE LIMITED RESOURCES OF MANY HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. THIRD, VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITH SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND TARGETED FOR INTERVENTION SUCH AS THE POOR, UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED, OR VARIOUS RACIAL/ETHNIC OR OTHER VULNERABLE POPULATIONS THAT OTHERWISE MAY HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED. THROUGH IDENTIFICATION, PROGRAMS CAN THEN BE DEVELOPED SO THAT ALL POPULATIONS WE SERVE WILL RECEIVE APPROPRIATE AND TIMELY ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. IN ADDITION, THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS ENCOURAGES AN ORGANIZATION TO IDENTIFY AND PARTNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES. THROUGH PARTNERSHIP, KNOWLEDGE IS SHARED AND RESOURCES CAN BE ALIGNED AND MORE OPTIMALLY UTILIZED TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. INTERNALLY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ANCHOR COUNCIL ENTERPRISE (CHANCE) PROVIDES EXECUTIVE OVERSIGHT OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR HENRY FORD HEALTH. TEAM MEMBERS APPROVE HENRY FORD HEALTH'S ONGOING WORK AS A NATIONAL AND STATE LEADER IN COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVOCACY THAT SEEKS TO IMPROVE HEALTH STATUS IN DETROIT AND THE SURROUNDING SUBURBS. THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH TARGETED HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS SUCH AS OUR WOMEN-INSPIRED NEIGHBORHOOD (WIN) NETWORK: DETROIT, GENERATION WITH PROMISE, FAITH COMMUNITY NURSING INITIATIVES, SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CLINICS, HEALTH LITERACY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. THROUGH TARGETED VOLUNTEERISM AND PARTNERSHIPS, THE SYSTEM'S GOAL IS TO CULTIVATE NEW COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS. THIS ASSESSMENT WAS PREPARED JOINTLY BY THE HF HEALTH BUSINESS INTEGRITY SERVICES AND CORPORATE STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENTS, ALONG WITH THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY HEALTH, EQUITY AND WELLNESS. RESULTS ARE BEING USED AS A FOUNDATION FOR PLANNING, DEVELOPING, AND REFINING HF HEALTH'S FUTURE COMMUNITY SERVICES IN THE FOUR-COUNTY AREAS. RESULTS OF THIS ASSESSMENT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED WITH SEVERAL HENRY FORD HEALTH LEADERS, LEADING TO STRATEGIC AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN MODIFICATIONS TO ALIGN STRATEGY WITH IDENTIFIED NEEDS.

HF HEALTH HAS VARIOUS APPROACHES TO TARGET AND INFORM RESIDENTS OF ITS COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IT OFFERS. PROGRAMS WHERE WE PARTNER WITH ORGANIZATIONS WITH ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS THROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL. HF HEALTH HAS A SINGULAR PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (PFAP). INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ADEQUATE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE MOST FREQUENTLY APPEAR IN ONE OF OUR EMERGENCY ROOMS FOR SERVICES. ALL PATIENTS ARE SEEN WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. INTAKE STAFF MEMBERS ARE TRAINED REGARDING HOW TO APPROACH AND ENGAGE AN INDIVIDUAL WHEN THERE IS AN APPARENT LACK OF ADEQUATE HEALTH COVERAGE. THIS INCLUDES INFORMING THEM OF THE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY HF HEALTH AS WELL AS OTHER COMMUNITY, LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS THAT WOULD OFFER POTENTIAL SUPPORT. HF HEALTH HAS DEDICATED STAFF RESPONSIBLE TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS WHO MAY QUALIFY FOR SUPPORTIVE PROGRAMS AND ASSIST THEM WITH THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS. THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY A PATIENT IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THEIR MEDICAL CARE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THE TIME OF THE CARE DELIVERY. PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICE AND COLLECTION STAFFS ARE TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE THESE INDIVIDUALS AND PROVIDE THEM WITH ADVICE REGARDING THE VARIOUS OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR CARE NEEDS.

FOR EXAMPLE, AGE, SEX, EDUCATION, AND INCOME DISTRIBUTION DIFFER FROM COUNTY TO COUNTY. IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE UTILITY OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ANALYZE THE PROFILE(S) OF EACH OF THESE COUNTIES AT A MORE DETAILED LEVEL, SUCH AS ZIP CODES, SO THAT CERTAIN DIFFERENCES WITHIN THE AREA BECOME EVIDENT.ONE COMMUNITY IN PARTICULAR NEED OF ATTENTION IS THE CITY OF DETROIT.
