("HOSPITALS"). HOSPITALS USE WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, IN THE IRS FORM 990 SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO. IN 2015, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CLARIFIED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE H THAT GROUP RETURNS ARE REQUIRED TO USE TOTAL EXPENSES AS REPORTED IN CORE FORM, PART IX, LINE 25 AS THE DENOMINATOR WHEN CALCULATING THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THIS RESULTS IN AN UNDERSTATEMENT OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE AS THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THE GROUP RETURN DO NOT CONTRIBUTE ANY EXPENSES TO THE NUMERATOR. THEREFORE, THE ORGANIZATION WAS CONSISTENT WITH PRIOR YEARS IN USING THE TOTAL HOSPITALS' EXPENSES IN THE DENOMINATOR TO CALCULATE THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. THIS ALLOWS FOR A BETTER COMPARISON TO THE PRIOR YEARS AS THIS METHODOLOGY HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN USED IN THE CALCULATION AS WELL AS A MORE ACCURATE REFLECTION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE HOSPITALS. AS PART OF THE HOSPITALS' MISSION SUPPORT, THE ORGANIZATIONS SUBSIDIZE THE LOSS OF ITS NON-PROFIT PHYSICIAN PRACTICES SO THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7I INCLUDES THIS MISSION SUPPORT AS PART OF THE HOSPITALS' SUBSIDIZED SERVICES. Schedule H, Part VI, Line 7 State Filing of Community Benefit Report NOT APPLICABLE.

Schedule H, Part VI GROUPING C AND D In July 2024, it was discovered that the Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) for Pascack Valley Medical Center and Mountainside Medical Center, posted on their respective websites, inadvertently did not include a provider listing nor a billing and collections policy attached to the FAP and there was no reference to a separate billing or collection policy in the FAP. Pascack Valley Medical Center and Mountainside Medical Center promptly corrected the failure. No individuals were affected by the failure. A review of Pascack Valley Medical Center and Mountainside Medical Center compliance with 501r is conducted at least annually to ensure compliance. Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount ACCOUNTS THAT REACH THE END OF THE SELF-PAY BILLING CYCLE WITHOUT PAYMENTS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPROVAL ARE TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT. UNINSURED PATIENT CHARGES ARE DISCOUNTED. BALANCES AFTER INSURANCE, SUCH AS DEDUCTIBLES, CO-PAYS AND COINSURANCE, MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCOUNT THROUGH THE HMH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology THROUGH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, SELF-PAY PATIENTS ARE INTERVIEWED. THE AMOUNT REFLECTED ON LINE 3 REPRESENTS THOSE THAT ARE NOT COMPLIANT WITH DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS AND THOSE WHO CANNOT BE CONTACTED. NON-ELIGIBLE PATIENTS, DUE TO BEING OVER INCOME, ARE NOT INCLUDED ON LINE 3. BAD DEBT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED HEALTH CARE SERVICES INDISCRIMINATELY TO THE COMMUNITY-AT-LARGE WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER THE PATIENT HAS INSURANCE OR THE ABILITY TO PAY. THE METHODOLOGY USED BY THE ORGANIZATION TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF ITS BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS TO APPLY ITS COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO TOTAL SELF-PAY GROSS CHARGES. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote THE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP FORM 990 FOR WHICH THIS SCHEDULE H IS BEING FILED RECEIVED AN AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT. THE BAD DEBT FOOTNOTES TO THESE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH, INC. CAN BE FOUND ON PAGES 18-21.

SANZARI CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, HMH CARRIER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND HACKENSACK MERIDIAN LTACH: Once the self-pay portion has been determined for both insured and uninsured patients, the remaining balance becomes the patient's responsibility. This occurs after all insurance carriers-primary, secondary, or otherwise-have issued their payments. HMHN issues monthly billing statements to each guarantor, outlining the amounts due for all services rendered by HMHN hospitals. Accounts referred to a collection agency will no longer appear on the guarantor's statement. Patients with inquiries regarding their balances may contact Customer Service at 551-996-1960. Official copy at https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/en/pay-bill/billing-and-insurance Before initiating the billing cycle, HMH makes every effort to identify patients who may qualify for financial assistance and provide guidance and support to those requiring additional help in resolving their outstanding financial obligations. Once eligibility has been confirmed, patients proceed through the standard billing cycle as follows: i. Day 1: The first billing statement is generated. ii. Every 30 days: Additional statements are issued if the balance remains unpaid. iii. Day 120: The billing cycle includes up to four statements over 120 days. iv. After 120 days: If payment is still not received, a final pre-collection letter is sent, requesting payment within ten days. v. Collections: If the balance remains unresolved, the account may be referred to a collection agency to pursue additional collection efforts. vi. In certain cases, the full billing cycle may not be completed before agency placement in certain circumstances (e.g, unable to contact the patient due to incorrect contact information or the patient is deceased). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Medical Center (MS) & Pascack Valley Medical Center (PV): For all patients, including those eligible for financial assistance, a billing statement is mailed approximately five days after insurance payments, if applicable, have been applied and the remaining balance becomes the patient's responsibility. Patients with inquires regarding their balances may contact Customer Service at 844-220-0452 (MS)/844-220-0013 (PV). Official copy at https://mountainsidemedicalcenter.com/policies-and-disclosures/financial-assistance-policy/ https://pascackmedicalcenter.com/policies-and-disclosures/financial-assistance-policy/ The notification period for all self-pay balances is 120 days, beginning on the date the first post-discharge billing statement is issued. During this period, no extraordinary collection actions may be initiated. Additional statements are sent at 30-day intervals throughout the 120-day billing cycle, for a total of up to four statements. If payment is not received after the final statement, a pre-collection notice will be mailed to the patient at least 30 days before any extraordinary collection action is taken. If the balance remains unresolved, the account is designated as delinquent and may be transferred to bad debt status for placement with a collection agency or attorney, unless one of the following applies: (1) An active and satisfactory payment plan is in place; (2) A financial assistance application is pending or approved; or (3) A medical assistance or other aid program application is in process.

At Hackensack Meridian Health, we believe that health care extends beyond hospital walls. It's about building stronger, healthier communities. In 2024, we prioritized food security, access to care and community outreach, ensuring that every person has access to the care and resources they need to thrive. Our commitment is reflected in the millions of screenings, referrals and interventions that address the health needs of our neighbors and uplift our communities. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT BY THE NUMBERS: -49,054 - Preventive health screenings provided -29,584 - Adults and children educated through community outreach & engagement programs -16,659 - Abnormal results were detected (individuals referred for follow-up care as needed) Addressing Unique Needs --------------- South Asian Community Health --------------- With South Asians making up nearly 40% of Middlesex County's population, we launched the South Asian Community Health Initiative (SACHI) to improve access to care and promote early detection of health concerns. A community needs assessment identified key barriers to care, leading to customized, culturally relevant solutions. Through wellness screenings and health education, the initiative found that over two-thirds of participants had hypertension, 20% had high cholesterol and 56% were overweight or obese. Health promotion efforts continue to address these pressing issues. Black Men and Mental Health ------------------- As the title sponsor of the Just Heal Bro tour in Union, New Jersey, we supported an event dedicated to Black men's mental health and emotional well-being. The event provided education, community support and resilience-building tools to 648 attendees ranging in ages from 18 to 88. In addition to a panel discussion, health screenings identified that one-third of participants were at risk for serious health conditions and were referred for follow-up care. Keeping Seniors Active With Bingocize ------------------- To support healthy aging and fall prevention, we introduced Bingocize, a 10-week, evidence-based program that blends exercise and health education with a beloved game-Bingo. The program launched at the YMCA of Metuchen and Old Bridge Rotary Senior Housing, helping older adults stay active, engaged and independent. Investing in the Next Generation's Health and Safety -------------------- We are committed to empowering young people through education, mentorship and safety programs in collaboration with schools, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, first responders and more. In 2024, 1,657 students were trained in hands-only CPR and AED use, equipping them with lifesaving skills. The Parent/Guardian Talk Series, led by our physicians, covered timely health topics. 172 parents attended live, and on-demand sessions reached 1,000 viewers. Children's programs included hand washing education, healthy drink choices (Rethink Your Drink), Stop the Bleed training and the Community of Lifesavers initiative. Making Healthy Connections -------------------- The Healthy Connections program, launched in 2021, helps patients with non-medical needs. It continues to make a profound impact by screening patients and community members for critical needs, like housing, food and transportation and connecting them to resources for help. In 2024, 884,928 screenings were completed (Since 2021, completing 1.8M+ screenings). 1,061,142 referrals shared with community organizations (Since 2021, 4.4M+ referrals). Giving Back ------------------ In 2024, our Culture and Well-being Circles united for a Day of Giving Back, supporting maternal health, food insecurity and housing needs across our communities. The team's generosity resulted in: -Over 1,400 baby care items -400 pounds of food for mothers and infants, -2,800+ pounds of food to fight hunger -865 essential items and 300 pounds of household goods for those in shelters. This effort reflects our commitment to building healthier, stronger communities-one donation at a time. Fighting Food Insecurity --------------------------------- In 2024, through the Healthy Connections Meals program, we provided nutritious meals to patients experiencing food insecurity. Results included: -943 patients served across seven hospital sites -13,202 meals distributed Through Fresh Match, which is funded through the USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program and a New Jersey state appropriation, our goal is to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables for families in need. We helped many in the community access fresh produce while boosting local economies: -13,387 unique households reached who are part of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -17 brick-and-mortar stores partnered -$1.2M in fresh produce purchased -39.44% coupon redemption rate, far exceeding national averages (2% for paper, 7% for digital) Community Webinars ----------------- HMH offers a virtual library featuring a variety of educational sessions on timely health topics.

VISION: Innovation is in our DNA, compelling us to create a world where: the highest quality care is human-centered, accessible and affordable; we deliver outcomes that matter most; and excellence is the standard. BELIEFS: -Creative ... I will do my part to make things better. -Courageous ... I will do the right thing. -Compassionate ... I am the human experience. -Collaborative ... I embrace teamwork. -Connected ... I am part of something bigger. Focus On: Patients ======= It's our priority to transform Hackensack Meridian Health into a trusted people-centered enterprise of care that meets the needs of patients through superior experience, quality, outcomes and safety. We are committed to providing a meaningful, safe, healing and personalized experience to everyone who comes to us for care. Training Our Team: ======= High Reliability We are on a journey to become a high-reliability organization. In 2024, we more than doubled the number of team members who were trained in High Reliability Organization (HRO) tools and best practices. HROs focus on five core principles: preoccupation with failure, commitment to resilience, deference to expertise, sensitivity to operations and reluctance to simplify. Recent enhancements of these efforts include implementing a unit-based HRO program. Instead of focusing on the entire organization, a unit-based HRO program concentrates on specific departments or units, allowing for more targeted interventions and improvements. TEAM MEMBERS TRAINED TEAM MEMBERS TRAINED: -15,500 in 2024 -128% increase over 2023 -47.5% of team members are trained Agile Institute The Agile Institute at Hackensack Meridian Health implements an approach that allows us to effectively operationalize the principles of HRO. The institute is dedicated to equipping team members and physicians with the skills and strategies needed to navigate the complexities of today's fast-paced environment. By adopting agile principles, we can foster innovation, improve team collaboration and ensure our teams remain adaptable and resilient. Physician engagement increased in 2024 with the launch of the Specialty Collaborative, which fostered collaboration and faster decision-making across multiple specialties. -132 Team Members are trained in Agile Methodology in Year 1 Patient Safety ======= We review our data against other hospitals within the hospital-rating organization Vizient to track our patient safety performance. According to the Vizient 2023-2024 data review, we have the best outcomes in New Jersey: -We save more lives than any other health system in New Jersey. -Patients return home faster and are less likely to return to the hospital with complications. -We deliver the most babies in New Jersey with fewer complications for baby and mom. Steady Decline in Hospital-Acquired Infections ====== Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are infections people get while receiving treatment in a healthcare setting like a hospital, and unfortunately, on any given day, about one in 31 hospital patients has at least one HAI, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We pride ourselves on continually improving our rate of HAIs and leading nationally in these efforts. We have reduced HAIs by 42% since 2018, and 83% of our hospitals are among the top performers nationwide in preventing at least one type of HAI, while almost half (42%) are top performers in preventing two or more types. This means safer care, shorter hospital stays, lower costs and a better overall experience for our patients. Fighting the #1 Cause of Death in the U.S. Hospitals ========== Sepsis is the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals according to the Sepsis Alliance. Sepsis Fact Sheet. 2024. We are committed to mitigating sepsis-related harm throughout Hackensack Meridian Health, focusing on early recognition and intervention. "SEP-1" is shorthand for "The Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Management Bundle," which outlines guidelines for effectively fighting sepsis. We exceed national and state averages in SEP-1 performance. SEP-1 PERFORMANCE -NJ at 62% -National at 69% -Hackensack Meridian Health at 71% The comfort of HOME ===== At Hackensack Meridian Health we are tightly focused on discharging our patients to home, and keeping them home. This has many benefits for patients, including improved outcomes, reduced health care costs and an overall better experience. Below are some ways we are bringing this mission to life. Governance Structure ======= To promote collaboration and clinical effectiveness across disciplines, service lines and support services, Patient Safety and Quality has convened two councils: The Clinical Excellence Council and the Continuum of Care Council. Together, they bring resources, expertise and alignment from across the continuum of care to "get patients home and keep patients home." Promoting Early Patient Mobility ======= In 2024, our nursing team prioritized patient safety by focusing on early mobility. We significantly improved our tracking and documentation of patient mobility, reaching 85.2% by year-end, a 6.7% increase from earlier in the year. Having increased tracking and insights enabled us to intervene earlier and ensure patient mobility was a priority. By making mobility a routine part of patient care, we're helping patients recover faster and reducing the risk of complications. The First Thirty ======= The First Thirty program provides critical support to patients when they need it the most. This initiative incorporates evidence-based interventions to promote personalized care and enhance patient satisfaction, resulting in a personalized approach that significantly reduces hospital readmissions. By partnering with the community and providing culturally appropriate care, First Thirty empowers individuals to stay healthy and avoid preventable hospitalizations. 20,000 community members served through The First Thirty program since 2022. Patient-Centered Care ======= Certified Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) use evidence-based guidelines and best practices to deliver better patient outcomes, reduce costs and improve the overall patient and team member experience. We are transforming our physician practices into Patient-Centered Medical Homes. More than a third of our primary care providers (119 total) have been certified. Among other things, these efforts prioritize chronic disease management, preventive services and screenings and, at Hackensack Meridian Health, have led to: -Closing 35,000 care gaps (a 41% increase over 2023) -13,000 scheduled visits via an outreach campaign -Increased adoption of digital tools -A 17% increase in mammography scheduled visits through online appointment scheduling and SMS (text) campaigns Our commitment to chronic disease management is evident in our top-tier national ranking by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services quality ranking for blood pressure and diabetes control. We're in the top 10% nationally for controlling these conditions, resulting in better care for over 264,000 patients in our primary care practices. New Technology ========== Hackensack Meridian Health is investing in groundbreaking new technology by: -Advancing Robotic Surgery Precision -Revolutionizing Knee Replacement Surgery -Leading with AI in Prostate Treatment -High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Now at JFK University Medical Center Advancing Robotic Surgery Precision ======== In 2024, Hackensack University Medical Center was one of only 14 hospitals worldwide to acquire the da Vinci 5 Multiport Robotic Surgical System. Used in specialties including gynecology, urology, thoracic, general surgery, bariatrics and colorectal surgery, this cutting-edge technology offers unparalleled precision. The Multiport Robotic Surgical System helps surgeons perform complex procedures with more precision and control than ever before. Form 990, Part III, Line 1 STMT OF PROGRAM SERVICES ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED) Revolutionizing Knee Replacement Surgery ========= Hackensack University Medical Center is transforming knee replacements with the TMINITM Miniature Robotic System. This compact, handheld robot uses 3D knee models for precise, personalized procedures and works with a variety of implants to meet individual needs. With less equipment in the OR and unmatched precision, TMINI helps patients get back to the activities they love-faster and with confidence. Leading with AI in Prostate Treatment ========== As the first hospital in the world to use the AI-powered HYDROSTM Robotic System for Aquablation therapy, Hackensack University Medical Center is improving outcomes for patients with enlarged prostate. This trailblazing technology uses a heat-free waterjet for intricate tissue removal, preserving sexual function and continence. Patients benefit from personalized, minimally invasive care, delivered by one of the nation's top-ranked urology programs. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound ========== Hackensack Meridian Neuroscience Institute at JFK University Medical Center is our third and newest care location to offer High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of essential tremor and Parkinson's Disease tremor. Hackensack Meridian Health was the first and remains the only healthcare network in New Jersey offering this minimally invasive treatment. Focused ultrasound uses acoustic energy, or sound waves, to treat brain tissue that is the source of the tremor. The outpatient procedure, which typically takes two hours, doesn't require surgical incisions or anesthesia, and many patients experience immediate and significant reduction in hand tremors, which can make activities of daily living challenging. FACILITIES =========== CONTINUALLY UPGRADING OUR FACILITIES IS CRUCIAL FOR ENHANCING PATIENT CARE AND SAFETY AND FOSTERING A POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO DELIVER THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CARE TO THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO DELIVERING THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR PATIENTS, PHYSICIANS AND TEAM MEMBERS.
