Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Summaty of Significant Accou nti ng Policies
Orgattizatiotz
Major Medical Center (the "Medical Center") is a not-for-profit corporation. The Medical Center provides health care and related services. The accompanying financial statements do not include the accounts of the Research Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation that solicits funds and awards grants to the Medica l Center for research purposes, nor for Hospital Support, Inc., which provides certain su pport services.
Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets
Temporarily restricted net assets are those whose use by the Medical Center has been limited by donors to a speci fic time period or purpose. Permanently restricted net assets
556 Part Vl • Financial Analysis
have been restricted by donors to be maintained by the Medical Center in perpetuity. When a donor restriction expires (i.e., when a stipulated time restriction ends or pur pose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified as un restricted net assets and reponed in the statements of operations as net assets released from restrictions. Donor-restricted contributions whose restrictions are met within the same year as received arc reflected as tempora rily restricted contributions and net asset<; released from restrictions in the accompanying financial statements.
Receivables for Patiettt Care
Patient accounts receivable from th i rd-pa rt y programs for which the Medical Center receives payment under reimbursement formulas or negotiated rates are stated at the estimated net amounts receivable from such payors, which are generally less than the established charges of the Medical Center.
Investments
Investments consist of U.S. Treaswy bonds and notes, certificates of deposit, and money mar ket funds. Investments arc carried at fair value. Amounts classilled as long-term investments, consisting primarily of money market funds, represent pem1anently n:suicted net assets.
lnvestmetzt Gains, Losses, and Income
Investment income, which includes real gains and losses, earned on permanently re stricted and temporarily restricted funds upon which restrictions have been placed by donors, is added to temporarily restricted funds. All other investment income is ret1ectecl in the accompanying statement'> of operations.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Propetty, plant, and equipment purchased are canied at cost, and mose acquired by gifts and bequests are carried at appr'dised or fair ma rket value established at the date of acquisition. Capitalized leases are recorded at the fair market value at the inception of the leases. l11e canying amounts of assel<; and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts when such assets are disposed of, and any resulting gain or loss is included in oper ations. Depreciation of assets used in operations is recorded on me stra ight-line method over the estimated useful lives of tl1e asset<;. Capit.'llized leases are amortized over the lease tem1.
Pledges
Unconditional promises to give cash and other assets are repotted at their net present value at the date the promise is received. The gifts are reported as either temporarily or permanently restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. Pledges receivable, discounted at 10 percent, are expected to be paid as follows (in thousands):

Accrued Post-Reliremellt Benefit s
Chapter 15 • Financial Statement Analysis 557
The i\tedical Center account<> for post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits on the accrual basis of accounting.
Uucompe11sated Care
As a matter of policy, the Medical Center provides significant amounts of partially or totally uncompensated patient care. For accounting purposes, such uncompensated care is treated either as charity care or bad debt expense. The Medical Center has defined char ity care for accounting and disclosure purposes as the difference between its customary charges and the sliding scale rates given to patients in need of financial assistance. Since payment of this difference is not sought, charity care allowances are not repotted as reve nue. Patients who do not qualify for sliding scale fees and all uninsured inpatient<; who do not qualify for Medicaid assistance arc bi lled at the Medical Center's full rates. Uncollected balances for these patients are categorized as bad debts. Total uncompensated care for all patient services approximated $22 million and $20 million in 2011 and 2013, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted account ing principles requires management to m:.tke estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the d isclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amoums of revenue and expenses during the reponing period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management believes that the amounts recorded based on estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and any differences between estimates and actual should not ha\ e a material impact on the Medical Center's financial position.
Operatbzg Income
Transactions deemed hy management to he ongoing, major, or central to the provision of health care services are reported as operating revenue and expenses, and arc included in operating income. Operating income also includes investment income and realized gains
and lossl's from the sale of investments.
Tax Status
The tvll'dical Center is exempt from federal income taxes under Section '501(c)(3) of the Intl'rnal Revenue Code. The Medical Center has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(1 ). Contributions received by the Medical Cl'nter qualify as tax-deductible charitable contributions.
2. Third-Party Reimbursement Programs
Tlw t\ledical Center has agreements with third-party payers that provide for payments to tlw Medical Center at amounts different from its established charges. Payment ar rangements include prospectively determined rates per discharge, reimbursement of costs, discounted charges, and per diem payments. Patient service revenue is recorded at the Medical Center's established charges when patient services are performed. Adjustments for differences between established charges and payment amounts are
deducted directly from receivables for patient care and patient service revenue in the year incurred.
Federal and state regulations provide for certain retrospective adjustments to cun·ent and ptior years' payment rates based on industrywide and hospital-specific data. The Medical Center has estimared the potential impa<.1of such retrospective adjustments based on infOtma rion presently available, and adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the setvices are rendered and are adjusted in future peti<xls as final seulements are determined.
558 Part VI • Financial Analysis
Management believes that amounts recorded in the accompanying financial statements will not be materially affected upon the final settlement of such retrospective adjustments.
Hospitals are reimbursed for Medicare inpatient services under the national pro
spective payment system ("PPS") and other methodologies of the Medicare program for patient services. Such Medicare payments are based on a blend of national industry and hospital-specific data. The Medicaid program pays rates determined by the state, primar ily on a basis of prospectively determined rates per discharge. The Medical Center is paid by non-Medicare/Medicaid payers based on negotiated contract amounts or, if such contracts do not exist, at the Medical Center's established charges. In addition, the state has requested a waiver from the federal government that will allow it to enroll substan tially all of its Medicaid patticipants into Medicaid managed care programs. The ultimate outcome and effect of these changes and proposals on the Medical Center's future op erations cannot presently be determined. In 2014, net revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs accounted for 44 percent and 23 percent, respectively, of total net patient service revenue.

6. Retirement and Similar Benefits
The Medical Center provides retirement and similar benefits to its union employees through several defined benefit multi-employer pension plans and to its nonunion em ployees through a noncontributoty defined benefit pension plan and tax-deferred annuity plans. Payments to the defined benefit multi-employer union plans arc made in accor dance with contractual arrangements under which contributions are generally based on gross salaries and arc funded on a current basis. The Medical Center contributes amounts to the nonunion plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set fotth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Medical Center's pension ex pense under all existing plans aggregated approximately 510,202.000 and S10,6R:),OOO for the years ended December 31, 201"1 and 2013, respectively.
7. Other Post-Retirement Benefits
In addition to the pension plans and the tax-sheltered annuity plans described in "\ote 6, the Medical Center sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides post-retirement medical, dental, and life insurance benefits to cettain full-time employees hired prior to July I, 200!, and who have worked 10 years and attained age 65 while in service with the Medical Center. The plan contains cost-shating features such as deductibles and coinsurance.
Effective in May 2014, the Medical Center changed the type of the plan from basic hos pital plus major medical to a point-of-service plan for nonunion employees. ·n1e effects of this change have been reflected in the actuary's calculation for the plan year ended December 31.
2014. At the end of 201·1 and 2013, the accrued post-retirement benefit cost was $6,02:).000
and $6,017,000, respectively. As of December 31, 201"1 and 2013. the plan was unfunded.
8. Government Crants
The Medical Center receives grants from various government agencies. For the contract years ending June 30 , 2015, 2016, and 2017, these grant awards are as follows:

Advances on government grants of $1,587,000 at December 31, 2011, as reflected in the accompanying statement of finaacial position, represent amounts received from the granting agencies in excess of claims made at that date. The receivable amount of
$467,000 at December 31, 2013, represents claims made in excess of advances recei\'ed from the granting agencies at that date.
9. Professional Liabil ity Insurance
The Medical Center patticipates in a pooled program with cettain other health care facili
ties (principally medical centers) for professional liability insurance. This p uticipation is
Chapter 15 • Financial Statement Analysis 561
with captive insurance companies and, with the other health care facilities, in a pooled layer for additional insurance with commercial insurance companies.
During 2013, the Medical Center had an aggregate deposit of $2,000,000 with two of the captive insurance companies. During 2014, these deposits were replaced with two letters of credit of $1,000,000 each. The deposits were included in other current assets in the accompanying 2013 statement of financial position.
Malpractice claims in excess of insurance coverage have been asserted against the
Medical Center by various claimants. The claims arc in various stages of processing, and some may ultimately be brought to trial. Medical Center management and counsel arc unable to conclude about the ultimate outcome of the actions. There are known inci dents occurring through December 31, 2014, that may result in the assertion of additional claims, and other claims may be asserted arising from services provided to patients in the past. It is the opinion of Medical Center management, based on prior experience, that adequate insurance is maintained to cover all significant professional liability losses.
10. Transactions with Affiliates
The amounts due from affiliates in the accompanying statements of financial position at D<.:cemher 31, 2014 and 2013, include a $1,900,000 loan receivable and accrued interest thereon from Hospital Support, Inc. The loan, which does not have specified repayment terms, bears interest at the prime rate, which approximated 7.7) percent at December 31,
2011 and 2013.
