“The organization is the tax-exempt parent entity of shore memorial health system and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"). The system includes shore medical center; a related internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospital organization. This organization's federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of its governing body (its board of trustees) prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). Shore medical center's audit and finance committee assumed the responsibility to oversee and coordinate the federal form 990 preparation, review and filing process. As part of the organization's federal form 990 tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional certified public accounting ("cpa") firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and system individuals ("internal working group") to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's internal working group for review. The organization's internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization's internal working group for final review and approval. A meeting with the medical center's audit and finance committee was also held to review the final draft of the federal form 990. At this meeting, the cpa firm gave a form 990 presentation to the committee. Thereafter, the final federal form 990 was made available to each voting member of the organization's governing body prior to filing with the irs.”

“The organization is the tax-exempt parent entity of shore memorial health system and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"). The system includes shore medical center; a related internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospital organization. This organization and the system regularly monitor and enforce compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually all members of the board of trustees, officers and senior management personnel are required to review the existing conflict of interest policy and complete a questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are returned to the organization and the system's chief compliance officer for review. The chief compliance officer prepares a summary of the completed questionnaires which contains information disclosed on an individual by individual basis and presents this summary to the medical center's audit and finance committee for its review and discussion. Thereafter, any significant disclosures of a material nature involving the organization's governing body or senior leadership is reported to the organization's governance committee for its review and discussion.”

“The organization is the tax-exempt parent entity of shore memorial health system and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"). The system includes shore medical center; a related internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospital organization. This filing organization itself has no paid senior management personnel receiving compensation directly from this organization. Rather, key senior management personnel including, but not limited to, the president/chief executive officer and chief financial officer/chief development officer are employed by shore medical center. However, the compensation and benefits of these individuals are shown on this tax return because the individuals are either trustees or officers of this organization. Accordingly, the organization's board of trustees has a leadership development and compensation committee ("committee"). The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves of the compensation and benefits of the system's senior management personnel including, the president/chief executive officer, chief financial officer/chief development officer, chief operating officer/chief nursing officer, chief medical officer, chief information officer and vice president of human resources ("senior leadership"). The committee reviews the "total compensation" of the individuals which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review is done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of senior management of the organization is reasonable. The actions taken by the committee enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of the organization's senior leadership. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness are the following: 1. The compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an "authorized body" of the applicable tax-exempt organization which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a "conflict of interest" with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2. The authorized body obtained and relied upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and 3. The authorized body "adequately documented the basis for its determination" concurrently with making that determination. The committee is comprised of members of the board of trustees each of who are independent and are free from any conflicts of interest. The committee relied upon appropriate comparable data; specifically the committee obtained a written compensation study from an independent firm which specializes in the reviewing of hospital and healthcare system executive compensation and benefits throughout the united states. This study used comparable geographic and demographic market data including but not limited to similar sized hospitals, # of licensed beds and net patient service revenue. The committee adequately documented its basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of the compensation committee meetings during which the executive compensation and benefits was reviewed and subsequently approved. The actions outlined above with respect to the committee and the establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness only applies to the system's senior leadership.”

“Core form, part vii and schedule j reflect a board member/officer receiving compensation and benefits from a related organization. Please note this remuneration was for services rendered as a full-time employee of the related organization and not for services rendered as a voting member or officer of this organization's board of trustees.”

“The organization is the tax-exempt parent entity of shore memorial health system and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"). Certain board of trustee members and officers listed on core form, part vii and schedule j of this form 990 may hold similar positions with both this organization and other affiliates within the system. The hours shown on this form 990, for board members who receive no compensation for services rendered in a non-board capacity, represent the estimated hours devoted per week for this organization. To the extent these individuals serve as a member of the board of trustees of other related organizations in the system, their respective hours per week per organization are approximately the same as reflected on core form, part vii of this form 990. The hours reflected on core form, part vii of this form 990, for board members who receive compensation for services rendered in a non-board capacity, paid officers, reflect total hours worked per week on behalf of the system; not solely this organization.”

UNCOMPENSATED CARE ================== THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS LONG BEEN A REGIONAL LEADER IN MEETING ITS COMMITMENT TO THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO ITS COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS, THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE TO THOSE LEAST ABLE TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES. IN KEEPING WITH ITS MISSION TO CARE FOR PATIENTS, THE MEDICAL CENTER SERVES ALL WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. IN 2024, SHORE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDED $6,491,420 IN UNCOMPENSATED CARE TO THESE PATIENTS. THE MEDICAL CENTER RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY IMPOSED ON THE SELF-PAY PATIENT WHO IS LEAST ABLE TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHEN BILLED AT THE MEDICAL CENTER'S STANDARD CHARGES. THEREFORE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ESTABLISHED AN INNOVATIVE POLICY TO ADDRESS THE DISPARITY BETWEEN HOSPITAL-BILLED CHARGES AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THE SELF-PAY PATIENT OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENT. THE METHOD ADOPTED IS BASED UPON SOUND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS USING A KNOWN STANDARD DEVELOPED FOR THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE POLICY IS TO APPLY THE MOST CURRENT HOSPITAL SPECIFIC MEDICARE COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO THE SELF-PAY PATIENT'S TOTAL CHARGE BALANCE AND ADJUST THE BILL TO COST. THIS ADJUSTMENT IS LIMITED ONLY TO THOSE PATIENTS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. THIS RATIO IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS DETERMINED BY THE MEDICARE FISCAL INTERMEDIARY. PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY THE COST ADJUSTED BILL IN FULL ARE PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO A HOSPITAL-APPROVED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE DETERMINED BASED UPON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PATIENT AND PAID OVER TIME USING OUR EXISTING PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT METHODOLOGY. AS A NON-PROFIT HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, IT IS THE MEDICAL CENTER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS COMMITTED TO THE COMMUNITY THAT IT SERVES. THE CHALLENGE OF MEETING THE HIGH COSTS OF PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DEDICATION OF PHYSICIANS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS.
