EXEMPT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENTS NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL'S (NEBH OR HOSPITAL) PRIMARY PURPOSE IS THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AN ACUTE CARE, ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL AND PROVISION OF ALL SERVICES RELATED THERETO FOR THE BENEFIT OF PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL OPERATES AS AN ADULT MEDICAL / SURGICAL HOSPITAL WITH A NATIONAL REPUTATION IN ORTHOPEDIC CARE. PATIENTS ARE OFFERED A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES IN ORTHOPEDICS AND RHEUMATOLOGY, JOINT REPLACEMENT, SPINE CARE, FOOT AND ANKLE CARE, HAND SURGERY, OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE AND SPORTS MEDICINE. WE PROVIDE A NUMBER OF QUALITY CLINICAL SERVICES. THESE CLINICAL SERVICES ARE DIVIDED INTO CARE CENTERS. WE HAVE AN ORTHOPEDIC CARE CENTER, AS WELL AS CARE CENTERS FOR MEDICAL, SURGICAL, DIAGNOSTICS AND SUPPORT SERVICES, REHABILITATION SERVICES AND PATIENT CARE. THROUGH OUR CARE CENTERS, OUR PATIENTS RECEIVE NOT ONLY THE FINEST ORTHOPEDIC SERVICES, BUT ALSO DIAGNOSTIC, SURGICAL, MEDICAL AND REHABILITATIVE TREATMENT THAT'S BEYOND COMPARE. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL STRIVES TO PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANCED METHODS OF HEALTH CARE COMBINED WITH COMPASSIONATE, HIGHLY SKILLED AND WELL TRAINED PROVIDERS OF CARE. OUR NURSES AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE FOCUSED ON OUR PATIENTS AND MEETING OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS. THE CARE AND COMFORT OF OUR PATIENTS IS OUR HIGHEST MISSION. CARE TO ALL PATIENTS NEBH IS THE FRONTLINE CAREGIVER PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, THE HOSPITAL OFFERS CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS THAT COME TO OUR FACILITY 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND 365 DAYS A YEAR. NEBH ASSISTS PATIENTS IN OBTAINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND OTHER SOURCES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE. I. MEDICAID & MEDICARE: MEDICAID NEBH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT LOW INCOME FAMILIES, INCLUDING PARTICULARLY THE MEDICAID PROGRAM, WHICH IS JOINTLY FUNDED BY FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS. THE MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH REFORM LAW PROVIDED AN INITIATIVE FOR EXPANSION OF MEDICAID COVERAGE TO GREATER POPULATIONS AND FOR ENROLLMENT OF UNINSURED PATIENTS IN OTHER INSURANCE PROGRAMS. PAYMENTS FROM MEDICAID AND OTHER PROGRAMS WHICH INSURE LOW INCOME POPULATIONS DO NOT COVER THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED.DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, 1.3% OR 1,693 OF NEBH'S PATIENT ENCOUNTERS WERE WITH MEDICAID PATIENTS. THIS TRANSLATED TO $2,330,320 IN MEDICAID REVENUE WHICH WAS LESS THAN THE COST OF CARE PROVIDED BY NEBH FOR SUCH SERVICES BY $900,965, AS REPORTED WITHIN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7B. NEBH ALSO MADE PAYMENTS TO THE HEALTH SAFETY NET TRUST (HSN) TO SUPPORT THE DELIVERY OF CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS THROUGHOUT MASSACHUSETTS. THE HOSPITAL'S TOTAL PAYMENTS TO THE HSN WERE $1,624,101 FOR THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING AND QUANTIFIED AS PART OF CHARITY CARE REPORTED IN THIS SCHEDULE H, PART I LINE 1A. THIS AMOUNT IS ALSO REPORTED AS A COMPONENT OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE EXPENSE IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS. MEDICARE MEDICARE IS THE FEDERALLY SPONSORED HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR ELDERLY OR DISABLED PATIENTS AND NEBH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, 38% OR 45,487 OF NEBH'S PATIENT VISITS WERE WITH MEDICARE PATIENTS. THIS TRANSLATED TO $ 67,901,000 IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE; HOWEVER, BECAUSE PAYMENTS TO HOSPITALS THROUGH THIS GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PROGRAM HAVE NOT KEPT PACE WITH INFLATION, REVENUE COLLECTED WAS LESS THAN THE COST OF SERVICES BY $12,327,904. ALTHOUGH NEBH CONSIDERS THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, THE ADDITIONAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $12,327,904 IS NOT QUANTIFIED ON PAGE 1 OF THE SCHEDULE H, PER THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS. RATHER IT HAS BEEN SEPARATELY REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H PART III AS REQUIRED. IF NEBH HAD INCLUDED THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN THE CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT CALCULATION, THE PERCENTAGE ON SCHEDULE H WOULD HAVE INCREASED BY OVER 5.2%. II. INPATIENT CARE: NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL CARES FOR ITS PATIENTS IN ITS 135 LICENSED BEDS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014, NEBH ADMITTED 8,196 PATIENTS, INCLUDING: 7,986 SURGICAL ADMISSIONS AND 210 MEDICAL ADMISSIONS; TOTAL DISCHARGES WERE 8,168 PATIENTS; AND TOTAL PATIENT DAYS WERE 25,907. NET INPATIENT REVENUE, NOT INCLUDED IN PART I, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 WAS $ 104,651,388. III. COMMUNITY WALK-IN CLINIC/ AMBULATORY CARE UNIT/ EMERGENT CARE: ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, NEBH STILL PROVIDES CARE TO ALL WHO NEED URGENT CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. NEBH OPERATES A COMMUNITY WALK-IN CLINIC (CWC) WHICH FUNCTIONS AS AN URGENT CARE CLINIC. TRIAGE AND ASSESSMENT OF A PATIENT'S CONDITION IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK REGARDLESS OF THE CWC'S HOURS OF OPERATION. THE CWC OPERATES TREATMENT HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK, WITH EARLY MORNING, FULL DAY AND EVENING HOURS ON ALL DAYS, IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE AS MANY PATIENTS AS POSSIBLE. WHERE A PATIENT COMES TO NEBH IN NEED OF URGENT CARE AFTER CWC HOURS, CARE IS STILL PROVIDED. NO PATIENT IS TURNED AWAY WITHOUT CARE. AFTER CWC HOURS, THE PATIENT IS SEEN AND THEIR MEDICAL CONDITION ASSESSED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY CAN BE TREATED AT NEBH OR WHETHER THEIR CONDITION WOULD REQUIRE A TRANSFER TO BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A RELATED TERTIARY CARE ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER AND ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3) OF 1986, AS AMENDED, WHICH IS LOCATED JUST MILES AWAY FROM NEBH. ALL PATIENTS WHO COME TO NEBH, AND WHO CAN BE ADEQUATELY TREATED AT NEBH, ARE TREATED AND NOT TRANSFERRED, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR CARE. OUTPATIENT STATISTICS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS: PATIENT VISITS TO NEBH'S OUTPATIENT CLINICS AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS TOTALED OVER 130,000 DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014. THIS INCLUDES VISITS TO NEBH'S OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE, SPINE CLINIC, PAIN CLINIC, AMBULATORY CARE UNIT, RADIOLOGY, LAB, PHYSICAL THERAPY AND OTHER ANCILLARY DEPARTMENTS. NET OUTPATIENT REVENUE FOR FY 2014 WAS $ 46,575,726, SINCE CARE IS NOT CONDITIONAL ON AVAILABLE BUDGET OR OTHERWISE RATIONED, THE CWC MAY RUN A DEFICIT. IV.
