Independent Accountants’ Report
The Board of Directors
University of Kansas Hospital Authority
Kansas City, Kansas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the University of Kansas Hospital Authority (the
Authority), a component unit of the State of Kansas, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related
statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Authority’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the University of Kansas Hospital Authority as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the
changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying management’s discussion and analysis as listed in the table of contents is not a
required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary
information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

The University of Kansas Hospital Authority (the Authority) prepares its financial statements in accordance
with the provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s (GASB’s) Statement No. 34, Basic
Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments.
This section of the Authority’s annual financial report presents management’s analysis of the Authority’s
financial performance during the fiscal years that ended on June 30, 2011 and 2010. Please read it in
conjunction with the financial statements, which follow this section.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This annual report consists of two parts: ―Management’s Discussion and Analysis‖ and ―Financial
Statements.‖ The financial statements also include notes that explain in more detail some of the information
in the financial statements. The Authority is a self-supporting entity and follows enterprise fund reporting;
accordingly, the financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting.
Required Financial Statements
The required statements are the balance sheets, the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net
assets and the statements of cash flows. These statements offer short and long-term financial information
about Authority activities.
The balance sheets include all of the Authority’s assets and liabilities and provide information about the
nature and amounts of investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to Authority creditors
(liabilities). The assets and liabilities are presented in a classified format, which distinguishes between
current and long-term assets and liabilities. It also provides the basis for computing rate of return,
evaluating the capital structure of the Authority and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the
Authority. The statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets measure the success of the
Authority’s operations over the past two years. The final required financial statements are the statements
of cash flows. The primary purpose of these statements is to provide information about the Authority’s
cash receipts and cash disbursements during the reporting periods. The statements of cash flows report
cash receipts, cash disbursements and net changes in cash resulting from operating, investing and
financing activities.
Financial Analysis of the Authority
The Authority’s net assets are defined as the difference between assets and liabilities. Over time, the
increase or decrease in the Authority’s net assets is one indicator of whether its financial health is
improving or deteriorating. Other indicators include, but are not limited to, changes in unrestricted cash
and investments and long-term debt to net assets ratios. However, other nonfinancial factors must be
considered, such as changes in economic conditions, population growth, regulations, and government
legislation affecting the health care industry.

Significant Transactions
During fiscal year 2011, and in order to fulfill its statutory mission, the Authority substantially increased
its outpatient cancer operations with the acquisition of the Kansas City area business assets and operations
of US Oncology (USON), the manager of Kansas City Cancer Centers, a 27 physician medical oncology
and radiation oncology group (KCCC). The Authority also purchased certain assets from KCCC. The
KCCC physicians became employees of two separate tax-exempt faculty practice foundations and they
also became members of the faculty of the University of Kansas School of Medicine (KUSOM). Through
these arrangements, which were completed on June 20, 2011, the Authority, KUSOM and the tax-exempt
faculty practice foundations all combine as the University of Kansas Cancer Center, and now represent
the Kansas City area's premier cancer care organization.
The University of Kansas Cancer Center now has 51 medical and radiation oncologists, working in 12
locations throughout the Kansas City area. The land and buildings for 4 of the 12 locations were
purchased by the Authority.
A major component of the Affiliation Agreement (See Note 1 for a description of the Affiliation
Agreement) included a commitment by the Authority to develop and construct an $85 million medical
office building (MOB) for lease by the University of Kansas (University) on behalf of Kansas University
Physicians, Inc. (UKP). The Authority, the University and UKP finalized an agreement whereby the
University, on behalf of UKP, will lease 89% of the building for 30 years. These lease payments,
beginning at $3.125 million per year, are split between core rent and operating components each with
their own inflator. The lease commenced on July 18, 2011 when UKP took occupancy. The Authority
assigned the rights to these lease payments in order to secure approximately $55.2 million of financing
through the Kansas Development Finance Authority (KDFA). The University is the sole source of
funding for this financing. The $55.2 million consisted of $49.4 million of project funds, $5.1 million of
capitalized interest funds (in order to pay the interest costs due before the lease commences) and $0.7
million of issuance costs. A long term liability related to these funds was recognized as MOB Lease
Revenue Bonds. The liability will deplete as the assigned lease payments are made by the University,
which correlates to the Authority earning the funds by providing UKP with space in the MOB as well as
certain operating services. This MOB consolidates 9 physician specialty divisions in a 214,000 square
foot, state of the art facility and is supported by a new 600 space parking garage financed and constructed
by the University.

during the period. Assets limited as to use by trustee decreased $35.0 million due to the spending of the
project funds on the MOB construction. Patient accounts receivable, net increased $18.4 million or
21.6%; however, the Authority’s days in net receivables only increased from 40.0 days at June 30, 2010
to 45.0 days at June 30, 2011. Capital assets, net increased $120.4 million driven by net additions of
$144.1 million, less $23.6 million of additional accumulated depreciation. See Note 3 for further details.
Total liabilities in fiscal year 2011 increased $96.6 million to $487.2 million from activity related to the
cancer services acquisition, as well as an increase in current liabilities from significant construction projects.

For fiscal year 2010, total assets increased $133.3 million to $885.2 million, from $751.9 million at
June 30, 2009. Cash and investments increased $64.0 million during the same period. Assets limited as
to use by trustee increased to $36.3 million at June 30, 2010 and consisted of trustee held funds related to
the MOB Lease Revenue Bonds. See Note 5 for further details. Patient accounts receivable, net
increased $1.7 million or 2.0%; however, the Authority’s days in net receivables decreased from 42.2
days at June 30, 2009 to 40.0 days at June 30, 2010. Capital assets, net increased $23.0 million at
June 30, 2010 from June 30, 2009, driven by net additions of $45.9 million, less $22.9 million of
additional accumulated depreciation. See Note 3 for further details.
Total liabilities in fiscal year 2010 increased $62.5 million to $390.6 million primarily from activity
related to the financing transaction related to the MOB. Other current liabilities also increased
significantly, primarily due to MOB construction activity.
Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
While the condensed balance sheets show the change in financial position of net assets, the following
condensed statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets provide information regarding the
nature and source of these changes, as summarized in Table A-2 below.
Table A-2 Condensed Statements of Revenues, Expenses
and Changes in Net Assets (in millions of dollars)
2011 2010
June 30 Dollar Dollar
2011 2010 2009 Change Change
Total operating revenues $ 869.2 $ 805.0 $ 750.5 $ 64.2 $ 54.5

Net assets, ending $ 550.0 $ 493.2 $ 422.4 $ 56.8 $ 70.8
During fiscal year 2011, total operating revenues increased $64.2 million, or 8.0%. Consistent with the
prior year, this revenue growth was primarily due to volume as well as increased intensity of services for
both inpatient and outpatient services. Discharges increased 3.1%, outpatient encounters increased 5.2%
and Case Mix Index (CMI) increased 3.5%. Management attributes this positive trend to the Authority’s
high quality care and patient satisfaction.
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2011 and 2010

Total operating expenses increased $75.0 million or 10% and is attributed to volume increases, inflation,
acquisition activities, physician support, as well as increases in support to the University.
During fiscal year 2010, total operating revenues increased $54.5 million, or 7.3%. This revenue growth
was primarily due to volume as well as increased intensity of services for both inpatient and outpatient
services. Discharges increased 8.1%, outpatient encounters increased 7.2% and Case Mix Index (CMI)
increased 2.2%. This volume increase occurred despite significant declines in hospital volumes in the
overall market, as well as the sale of the outpatient renal dialysis unit as of March 1, 2010.
Nonoperating activity in fiscal year 2011 was slightly less favorable than 2010. Annual investment
performance showed a gain of $19.6 million, representing a 6.3% return, which was $0.2 million more
than the prior year. Interest expense was $0.3 million less in fiscal year 2011 than in year 2010. During
2011 there was a $1.2 million gain recognized due to the partial sale of the Authority’s interest in the
NRA-UKMC, Kansas, LLC from 38.2% to a 25% ownership interest. See Note 1, Nature of Operations,
for further details.
Nonoperating activity in fiscal year 2010 was substantially more favorable than fiscal year 2009. Annual
investment performance showed a gain of $19.4 million, representing a 7.2% return, which was an
improvement of $24.0 million compared to 2009. Interest expense was $0.3 million less in fiscal year
2010 than in year 2009. The sale of the outpatient renal dialysis unit during 2010 resulted in recognition
of a gain of approximately $6 million.
Net assets, ending increased $56.8 million, or 11.5%, to $550.0 million at June 30, 2011. This resulted
from a $53.5 million excess of revenues over expenses before contributions and $3.3 million in capital
contributions attributed to the Authority’s fund-raising program.
Net assets, ending increased $70.8 million, or 16.8%, to $493.2 million at June 30, 2010. This resulted
from a $67.1 million excess of revenues over expenses before contributions and $3.7 million in capital
contributions attributed to the Authority’s fund-raising program.
Table A-3 presents total operating revenue and major expense categories as a percentage of total
operating revenues before bad debts as they would be shown by a nongovernmental hospital for fiscal
years 2011, 2010 and 2009. This pro forma presentation also shows interest as an operating expense,
while governmental entities reflect it as a nonoperating expense.

(Pro Forma – Nongovernmental)
(in millions of dollars)
2011 2010 2009
Total operating revenue, before bad debts
of $54.4, $47.7 and $33.0 in 2011, 2010
and 2009, respectively $ 923.6 $ 852.7 $ 783.5
Expenses as a percent of total operating revenue
Compensation (salary/benefits/contract labor) 41.9% 41.6% 42.4%
Supplies 20.9 21.2 21.5
Other operating expense 22.6 20.9 19.7
Bad debt expense 5.9 5.6 4.2
Depreciation and interest 5.4 5.8 6.2
Total operating expenses 96.7% 95.1% 94.0%
Pro forma operating margin 3.3% 4.9% 6.0%
The compensation ratio continues to be a strong point. This is attributed to economies of scale while
experiencing significant revenue growth. The supply ratio improved during 2011 after having also
improved during 2010. The increase in other operating expenses related partly to increased costs
resulting from the physician services agreements and support for the School of Medicine. In addition, the
Authority’s intergovernmental transfers to the State Medicaid program increased significantly. See
Note 1, Net Patient Service Revenue, for further details. The combined uncompensated care (bad debt
and charity care) costs were relatively stable in both years representing 4.9% of gross revenue in 2010 and
5.0% in 2011. Depreciation and interest both decreased slightly over the prior year due to the increase in
operating revenue.
Table A-4 depicts sources of gross patient revenue by payor category for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and
2009.

Payor mix has been fairly consistent with the prior years, demonstrating that fiscal years 2010 and 2011
volume growth was spread fairly evenly throughout the payor classifications. There were slight increases
in Medicare and Medicare/Medicaid Managed Care during 2011 from 2010.
Capital Assets
Table A-5 summarizes the capital assets, by asset category, and the related accumulated depreciation.

Construction-in-progress 113.7 46.6 21.2
Net capital assets $ 531.2 $ 410.8 $ 387.8
During 2011, capital assets, net increased $120.4 million driven by net additions of $144.0 million less
$23.6 million of additional accumulated depreciation. This was in large part due to the purchase of four
cancer center sites and equipment related to the KCCC transaction as well as $54.1 million added to CIP
related to continued progress on the MOB and related equipment. Approximately $12.0 million was
spent on the heart center project (see Note 3) and $10.3 million on the electronic medical records project.
During 2010, capital assets, net increased $23.0 million, driven by net additions of $45.9 million less
$22.9 million of additional accumulated depreciation. Major net additions included $5.4 million in nurse
unit renovations, $9.8 million spent on the electronic medical records project and $18.6 million towards
the MOB.

Revolving loan commitment 50.0 — 2.8
Total $ 310.1 $ 242.4 $ 249.7
Over the two-year period, total debt outstanding increased $60.4 million due to new debt of $72.5 million
and decreases of $12.1 million due to principal payments. A $22.5 million promissory note and a $50.0
million draw on the revolving loan commitment were incurred in the fourth quarter. It is anticipated that
the revolving loan commitment will be repaid in FY 2012. See also the discussion of the MOB Lease
Revenue Bonds issued during fiscal year 2010 in Note 5. The Authority’s Standard & Poor’s rating of
A+ was received in September 2011, and a rating of A+ from Fitch IBCA, was received in August 2011.
For further information, refer to Note 4 to the financial statements.
Health Care Reform
During March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
and the Health Care and Education Tax Credits Reconciliation Act of 2010. Together, these two acts will
reform the health care system and will impact payments received by hospitals. Any reductions in hospital
payments may be offset by reductions in hospital bad debts and charity care, as the number of uninsured
Americans is reduced. However, the overall impact of health care reform on the Authority is not
presently determinable.

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The University of Kansas Hospital Authority (the Authority), a public body politic, a corporate and
independent instrumentality, and a component unit of the State of Kansas, was established by the
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Act. The University of Kansas Hospital ceased to
function as an operating division of the University of Kansas (the University), and the Authority
assumed its operation on October 1, 1998. It is the Authority’s mission to deliver world-class
patient care to the people served, and to ensure the excellence of future patient care through
exceptional learning, teaching and research. The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) is
a campus of the University and offers educational programs through its Schools of Medicine,
Nursing and Allied Health. The campus consists of academic units operating alongside the
Authority, which provides opportunities for clinical experience and residency positions. These
financial statements represent transactions and balances of the Authority as of and for the years
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Effective October 1, 1998, the Authority and the University, concurrently, entered into an
Affiliation Agreement, which provides that each will support the mission of the other. The
University and the Authority will cooperate in the provision of graduate medical education, clinical
support, administrative support and medical care of indigent patients. The agreement was renewed
under identical terms in 2003. A new affiliation agreement was signed effective January 1, 2008,
among the Authority, the University and Kansas University Physicians, Inc. (UKP). The agreement
provides that the Authority continue as KUMC’s primary teaching hospital and provides UKP greater
flexibility to respond to patient needs by supporting the faculty practice plan to encourage improved
quality and service.
Nature of Operations
The Authority’s principal activity is the operation of a licensed 620-bed teaching and treatment
facility located on the campus of KUMC in Kansas City, Kansas. As one of the region’s largest
acute care facilities providing tertiary and quaternary care, the Authority offers extensive
specialized service programs, including multidisciplinary service lines of organ transplantation,
cardiology, neurosciences and oncology. Other services include rehabilitation medicine,
emergency services, a burn center, senior care, trauma, diagnostic imaging, and a neonatal
intensive care unit. The Authority’s primary market is comprised of Wyandotte, Leavenworth and
Johnson counties in Kansas and Jackson, Platte and Clay counties in Missouri. In addition, more
than 30% of the Authority’s admissions come from outside the primary service area and originate
from nearly every county in Kansas and many counties in Missouri.
These financial statements include the accounts of the Authority, Jayhawk Primary Care, Inc.
(Jayhawk) and the KU MedWest Ambulatory Surgical Center LLC (the ASC). The Authority
owns 100% of Jayhawk, a blended component unit under Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity. Jayhawk owns 100% of Mid-
America Cardiology Associates, Inc. (MAC) and this consolidated group operates under the name
of Medical Administrative Services of KUMed (MASKU). MASKU provides administrative and
billing agency services to the Authority in connection with certain activities of the Authority,
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
15
including, but not limited to, managing primary care services in nine clinic locations throughout the
metropolitan area and managing the inpatient and outpatient cardiovascular services in 15 clinic
locations. MASKU represents approximately 0.2% of total assets of the Authority.
The ASC is a joint venture between certain physicians and the Authority. The Authority holds a 51%
ownership in the ASC. The ASC is also included as a blended component unit. The ASC leases and
operates the free-standing ambulatory surgery center previously operated by the Authority. The
accounts of the ASC are consolidated with those of the Authority and MASKU, and the physicians’
portion is shown as minority interest. The ASC represents 1.0% of total revenue and 0.4% of total
assets of the Authority.
On March 1, 2010, the Authority sold certain assets related to outpatient dialysis to RAI Care Centers
of Kansas City, LLC. Upon closing the asset sale, the Authority purchased a 49% interest in RAI Care
Centers of Westwood KS, LLC and a 38.2% interest in NRA-UKMC, Kansas, LLC. Subsequently the
Authority sold certain shares of the NRA-UKMC, Kansas, LLC bringing its ownership percentage to
25.0%. The gain of nearly $1.2 million on the sale was recognized in Other gains, net for the year
ended June 30, 2011. Both LLC’s are outpatient renal dialysis clinics, and are recorded as long term
investments.
All significant intercompany activity of MASKU has been eliminated in consolidation as well as
intercompany activity of the Authority, MASKU and the ASC. Substantially all of the Authority,
MASKU and the ASC’s expenses relate to providing health care services; therefore, the Authority
does not present expense information by functional classification.
UKP is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization operated to coordinate the provision of professional
medical services by the faculty of the School of Medicine through separate nonprofit, tax-exempt
foundations that employ the physicians who provide the services. While Authority-employed
physicians also have admitting privileges to the Authority, UKP constitutes the vast majority of the
Authority’s medical staff. UKP clinics share a common campus with the Authority, including
several clinics located within Authority space. Certain of the clinics began moving to the newly
constructed Medical Office Building (MOB) and commencing operations there as of July 18, 2011.
See Note 10, Related Party Transactions, for further discussion of UKP and the University.
Principles of Presentation
The Authority follows the principles of fund accounting, in that each entity’s assets, liabilities and
net assets are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts and follow enterprise
fund reporting; accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are presented using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, wherein revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses recorded when incurred. These principles require the
classification of net assets into three components: invested in capital assets, net of related debt;
restricted; and unrestricted. These classifications are defined as follows:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt This component of net assets consists of
capital assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced
by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are
attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. If there are
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
16
significant unspent related debt proceeds at year-end, the portion of the debt attributable to
the unspent proceeds is not included in the calculation of invested in capital assets, net of
related debt.
Restricted This component of net assets consists of constraints placed on net assets use
through external constraints imposed by contracts, grantors, or contributors.
Unrestricted This component of net assets consists of those funds that do not meet the
definition of restricted or invested in capital assets, net of related debt.
The application of GASB Statement No. 34 also requires the presentation of bad debts as a
reduction from net patient service revenue, interest expense shown as a nonoperating item, and the
presentation of the statements of cash flows utilizing the direct method.
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds
and Other Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the Authority has elected
to apply the provisions of all relevant pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the FASB) that do not contradict or conflict with GASB pronouncements, including those
issued after November 30, 1989.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Authority considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market
mutual funds, which are carried at fair value. Income related to cash equivalents is recorded as
nonoperating revenue.
Noncurrent Investments
Investments in debt and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair
value using quoted market prices. Investments in limited partnerships that invest in marketable
securities are reported using the equity method of accounting based on information provided by the
respective partnership. Certain of the partnerships may hold some securities without readily
determinable fair values, and consequently, the partnerships may estimate the fair value for such
securities. These estimates may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready
market existed and may differ from the values at which such investments may be sold. Investment
income or loss (including realized gains and losses, interest, dividends, changes in equity of limited
partnerships, and unrealized gains and losses) is included in investment earnings. Funds are
invested in accordance with certain Board-approved policies, which, among other matters, require
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
17
diversification of the investment portfolio, establish credit risk parameters and limit the amount of
investment in any single organization. Substantially all investment transactions are managed by
professional investment managers and are held in custody by financial institutions.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of drugs and medical supplies and are stated at cost (determined on
the first-in, first-out method), which is not in excess of market prices.
Assets Limited or Restricted as to Use
Assets limited or restricted as to use include investments held by trustee and investments restricted
by donors.
Donor-Restricted Gifts
From time to time, the Authority receives contributions from individuals and private organizations.
Contributions can be restricted for either specific operating or capital purposes. Amounts that are
unrestricted or that are restricted to a specific operating purpose are reported as nonoperating revenue.
Amounts restricted to capital acquisitions are reported after the performance indicator (excess of
revenues over expenses before contributions).
The University of Kansas Endowment Association (KUEA) collects donor-restricted gifts on
behalf of the Authority. These gifts are held at KUEA until the restriction is met, and the funds are
invested in accordance with KUEA policy. The Authority recognizes the increase or decrease in
the amount of assets held with KUEA in the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net
assets in the same manner as other donated assets. All the funds held by KUEA are classified in
the balance sheets as interest in restricted net assets of endowment association.
When an expense is incurred for which unrestricted and restricted funds are available, it is the
Authority’s policy to apply the restricted funds first, then the unrestricted. Donated funds with
restrictions are available for the following purposes (in thousands):
2011 2010
Buildings and equipment $ 10,675 $ 16,683
Education 1,286 1,212
Health care services 15,038 7,924
General 1,149 1,144
Total $ 28,148 $ 26,963
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
18
Capital Assets
Capital assets are stated at cost or, if donated, at fair value at the date of donation. The Authority
capitalizes equipment when the unit acquisition cost is $500 or greater and the estimated useful life
is three years or more. Depreciation on capital assets, excluding construction-in-progress, is
computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets based on the straight-line method.
The general range of estimated useful lives of the assets is 10 to 40 years for buildings and fixed
equipment and three to 20 years for movable equipment. Outlays for construction-in-progress are
capitalized as incurred.
The Authority capitalizes interest on projects financed with a restricted tax-exempt borrowing or
with an estimated cost of more than $10 million and an estimated construction period of more than
one year to complete. Depreciation and amortization expense includes the appropriate amount of
depreciation related to fixed assets that were obtained through capital lease arrangements.
Asset Impairment
The Authority considers whether indicators of impairment are present and performs the necessary
tests to determine if the carrying value of an asset is appropriate. Impairment write-downs, except
for those related to investments, are recognized in operating income at the time the impairment is
identified.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated life of 25 years. Intangible
assets are amortized on the straight-line basis over three years. The assets are periodically
evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying values.
Long-term Investments
The Authority records it investments in RAI Care Centers of Westwood KS, LLC and NRA-
UMKC, Kansas, LLC on the equity method of accounting based on information provided by the
respective entities.
Deferred Financing and Bond Issue Costs
The Authority defers financing expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of its long-term
debt. Such deferrals are amortized over the term of the related indebtedness on a straight-line
basis.
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
19
Accrued Salaries, Wages and Benefits
The Authority records a liability for all earned paid time off not taken and related taxes expected to
be paid. Such amounts, as well as salaries, wages, and related benefits for any payroll periods or
portion thereof that are earned but not paid as of the balance sheets date, are included in accrued
salaries, wages and benefits.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, patient accounts receivable, noncurrent
investments, current liabilities and long-term debt obligations. The carrying amounts reported in
the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, assets whose use is limited, patient accounts
receivable and current liabilities approximate fair value. Management’s estimates of the fair value
of noncurrent investments and assets whose use is limited are included in Note 2 and long-term
debt obligations are described in Note 4.
Net Patient Service Revenue, Net of Provision for Uncollectible Accounts
Net patient service revenue, net of provision for uncollectible accounts, is reported at the estimated
net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services rendered and
includes estimated retroactive revenue adjustments due to future audits and reviews as well as a
provision for uncollectible accounts.
Retroactive adjustments are considered in the recognition of revenue on an estimated basis in the
period the related services are rendered, and such amounts are adjusted in future periods as
adjustments become known.
Net patient service revenue is presented net of Medicare, Medicaid, managed care and other third-
party contractual adjustments of $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion for the years ended June 30, 2011 and
2010, respectively.
The table below shows the percent of gross revenue and the percent of receivables from significant
third party payors:
Revenues Receivables
Year Ended June 30 As of June 30
2011 2010 2011 2010
Medicare 31.3% 30.9% 9.8% 9.9%
Medicaid 10.1 10.6 10.8 11.2
Blue Cross 20.6 20.8 13.9 14.2
Medicare: Medicare acute care services are reimbursed based on severity adjusted Diagnosis
Related Group prospective payments. In addition, Medicare pays for Direct Graduate Medical
Education, Indirect Medical Education, Disproportionate Share Hospital payments and Bad Debt
for unpaid Medicare beneficiary coinsurance and deductibles. Medicare outpatient services are
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
20
primarily paid based on Ambulatory Payment Classification and Laboratory Fee schedule
prospective payments.
Medicaid: The Kansas Medicaid Program is administered by The Kansas Department of Health
and Environment (KDHE). Kansas Medicaid inpatient acute care services are reimbursed on a
percentage of billed covered charges as stated in the Kansas Medicaid program’s State Plan.
Kansas Medicaid outpatient services are reimbursed based on a fee schedule, with additional
quarterly supplemental payments based on reasonable cost reimbursement. The reimbursement for
inpatient and outpatient services is capped by certain limits established by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) called Upper Payment Limits (UPLs). This UPL is the amount that
Medicare would have paid for those services. The Authority estimated its 2011 and 2010 Medicaid
inpatient UPL based on its internal data, as Kansas Medicaid final information for fiscal 2011 and
2010 is not available at year-end. Although the Kansas Medicaid State Plan provides for an
additional payment to hospitals servicing a disproportionately high indigent patient population, it
limits these payments to no more than .25% of the Federal Disproportionate Share Hospital
allotment for the State of Kansas. Therefore, the Kansas Medicaid Disproportional Share Hospital
payments to the Authority are considered immaterial.
Changes in Estimates / Risks: Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid
programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. Noncompliance with Medicare and
Medicaid laws and regulations could make the Authority subject to significant regulatory action,
including substantial fines and penalties, as well as exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. Although management believes that appropriate provisions have been made for all
known Medicare and Medicaid issues, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded
estimates will change by a material amount in the near term and that the Authority may be required
to pay back disallowed payments or may receive additional unrecorded payments. In fiscal 2011,
the Authority’s net patient service revenue increased by approximately $9.8 million, including
amounts totaling $7.6 million for Medicaid and $2.2 million for Medicare and other changes in
estimates related to prior years. The $7.6 million Medicaid net change primarily resulted from
KDHE’s final 2010 UPL calculations. In fiscal 2010, the Authority’s net patient service revenue
increased by approximately $3.5 million, including amounts totaling $2.0 million for Medicaid and
$1.5 million for Medicare and other changes in estimates related to prior years. The $2.0 million
Medicaid net change primarily resulted from KDHE’s final 2009 UPL calculations.
Uncompensated Care: The Authority provides care to patients who meet certain criteria under its
charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. Because the
Authority does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, such
services are not reported as revenue or accounts receivable. The costs and expenses incurred in
providing these services are included in operating expenses. Patients whose accounts were written
off to charity care status had charges, measured at established rates, written off to charity care for
the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, of approximately $81.7 million and $73.1 million,
respectively. In addition, the Authority provides a significant amount of uncompensated care to
uninsured and underinsured patients, which is included in the provision for uncollectible
receivables and includes amounts for patients who may have otherwise qualified for charity care
but did not complete applications or were not otherwise identified under the Authority’s charity
policy.
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
21
Provision for Doubtful Accounts: The Authority records a provision for uncollectible accounts
as a deduction from net patient service revenue during the period in which collection is considered
doubtful. The provision for uncollectible accounts totaled $54.4 million and $47.7 million for the
years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The provision for uncollectible receivables is
based upon management’s assessment of historical and expected net collections considering
business and economic conditions, trends in health care coverage and other collection indicators.
Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for
uncollectible receivables based upon historical write-off experience by payor category. The results
of these reviews are then used to make any modifications to the provision for uncollectible
receivables to establish an appropriate allowance for uncollectible receivables. The Authority
follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection
agencies.
Intergovernmental Transfers to the State of Kansas: The Medicaid program is a shared federal-
state program that is largely operated by the states under federal statutory and regulatory
guidelines. The financing of Medicaid payments is shared between individual states and the
federal government based on the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage, which is set by the United
States Congress. CMS has regulations in place explicitly allowing states to use local sources other
than state general revenues as a source of Medicaid financing.
In 2004, the CMS Secretary confirmed that the Authority is a unit of Kansas state government. As
a unit of state government, the Authority is an example of the local sources that may be used as a
source of Medicaid funding. This funding is commonly in the form of Intergovernmental Agency
Transfers (IGTs).
The Authority’s funding of hospital IGT payments was $9.5 million in 2011 ($7.6 million for hospital
inpatient and $1.9 million for hospital outpatient) and $7.9 million in 2010 ($6.1 million for hospital
inpatient and $1.8 million for hospital outpatient) and such amounts are included in other expenses in
the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets. The Authority also funded an
additional prior year hospital inpatient IGT payment of $2.1 million in FY 2011. In addition, the
Authority received a prior year UPL payment of $6.3 million in FY 2011.
The Authority also provides funding for Medicaid’s Supplemental Medical Education program.
This funding was $4.5 million in 2011 and $2.9 million in 2010. These IGT payments are provided
to qualified licensed professionals employed by or affiliated with the Authority in recognition of
the cost of providing teaching services.
Investment Income
Investment income and changes in the fair value of investments are classified as nonoperating
gains (losses).
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
22
Operating Indicator
The Authority’s operating indicator (operating income) includes all unrestricted revenue, gains and
other support, and expenses directly related to the recurring and ongoing health care operations
from the reporting period. The operating indicator excludes investment earnings, interest expense,
contributions, gains (losses) on minority interest and earnings (losses) on Authority activities
deemed by management not to be directly related to providing healthcare services.
Performance Indicator
The Authority’s performance indicator (excess of revenues over expenses before capital
contributions) includes all changes in net assets other than capital contributions.
Reclassifications
Certain balances have been made to the 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2011 financial
statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings.
Note 2: Deposits and Investments
Deposits and investments are classified on the Authority’s balance sheets as cash and cash equivalents,
noncurrent investments and assets limited or restricted as to use. GASB Statement No. 3, Deposits
With Financial Institutions, Investments (Including Repurchase Agreements), and Reverse Repurchase
Agreements, and GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures, govern the
accounting and disclosures related to deposits and investments. GASB Statement No. 40 requires
disclosures related to certain types of risk. The following summarizes the Authority’s policies
regarding those items:
Credit Risk – In accordance with the Authority’s investment policy, the weighted-average quality
of the aggregate fixed income portfolio will be A or better, and 80% of the aggregate fixed income
portfolio will be BBB or better, with a minimum quality of B.
All of the Authority’s money market mutual funds carry AAAm ratings.
Concentration of Credit Risk – The Authority’s investment policy states that, with the exception
of obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its
agencies or instrumentalities, no commitment to a single issuer will exceed 2% of the market value
of the portfolio, and no position in the portfolio will exceed 2% of the issue outstanding.
Custodial Credit Risk – The Authority does not have a policy related to custodial credit risk for
deposits and is not exposed to custodial credit risk in relation to its investments.
Interest Rate Risk – In accordance with the Authority’s investment policy, the weighted-average
maturity of the aggregate fixed income portfolio may not be less than three years nor exceed ten
years.
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
23
Foreign Currency Risk – The Authority’s investment policy states that no non-U.S. dollar
denominated funds are permitted. American Depository Receipts of non-U.S. companies may be
permitted by written consent only from the Investment Committee. Canadian securities are
permitted.
In accordance with policies and guidelines adopted by its Board of Directors, the Authority can
invest assets in liquid securities, including short-term cash equivalents, intermediate-term fixed
income securities, and equity securities. As prescribed in the Authority’s outstanding bond
documents, the assets limited or restricted as to use held by trustee may be invested in cash
(insured or otherwise collateralized), direct obligations of federal agencies or those guaranteed by
the United States, senior debt obligations, U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts, commercial
paper, money market funds, prerefunded municipal obligations and investment agreements and
other forms of investments approved in writing by the bond insurer. Certain of these instruments
are subject to rating requirements and other requirements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the recorded cash balance of deposits with financial institutions totaled
$30.8 million and $29.0 million, respectively, and the bank balance totaled $32.3 million and $30.2
million, respectively. Of the bank balance, $1.2 million and $2.3 million at June 30, 2011 and
2010, respectively, were insured by federal depository insurance and $31.1 million and $27.9
million, respectively, were uninsured and uncollateralized.
The carrying value of these deposits and investments approximates fair value and was as follows
(in thousands):

2011 2010
Deposits with financial institutions $ 30,818 $ 29,023
Money market mutual funds 41,356 55,165
Total cash and cash equivalents $ 72,174 $ 84,188

Noncurrent Investments
No position in a single issuer in the portfolio exceeds 2% of the market value of the portfolio, nor
does it exceed 2% of the issue outstanding; therefore, as indicated above, the Authority does not
have a concentration of credit risk. Furthermore, the Authority is not exposed to foreign currency
risk. The composition of the fixed income portfolio and the associated interest rate and credit risk
are summarized by year as follows (dollars in thousands):

tower. The expansion is expected to add an additional 84 acute care and ICU beds. Expenditures
on the heart center project were approximately $12.0 million through June 30, 2011 with another
$51.5 million estimated until completion.
Note 4: Long-Term Debt Obligations
During December 2006, the Authority issued tax-exempt Health Facilities Refunding and
Improvement Revenue Bonds (the Series 2006 Bonds). The Series 2006 Bonds were issued in the
aggregate principal amount of $194.6 million. The proceeds, together with certain other available
funds of the Authority, were used to pay or reimburse the Authority the costs of a project consisting of
the construction, renovation and equipping of facilities of the Authority; defease the Series 1999A and
Series 2002 Bonds and pay expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the bonds.
Simultaneous with the issuance of the Series 1999A Bonds, the Authority and Jayhawk entered into
a Master Trust Indenture with UMB Bank, N.A., Kansas City, Missouri, as trustee. The Master
Trust Indenture provided for the creation of a group of entities (the Obligated Group, consisting of
the Authority and Jayhawk), the members of which agree to be jointly and severally obligated for
the payment of debt service on all obligations issued thereunder. With the issuance of the Series
2002 Bonds, the Supplemental Master Trust Indenture No. 2 was issued modifying the Obligated
Group to further include MAC and MATCS. Supplemental Master Trust Indenture No. 3 was
issued to be inclusive of the Series 2004 Bonds. With the issuance of the Series 2006 Bonds and
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
28
Supplemental Master Trust Indenture No. 4, the Authority, Jayhawk and MAC became the only
members of the Obligated Group.
The legal defeasance of the Series 1999A Bonds required funds of $53.7 million, which came from
bond funds of $43.3 million, Authority equity of $6.3 million and debt service reserve funds of $4.1
million. The loss on refunding was $3.7 million and is being amortized as a component of interest
expense through the year 2029 in compliance with GASB Statement No. 23, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Refundings of Debt Reported by Proprietary Activities. The legal defeasance
of the Series 2002 Bonds required funds of $55.4 million, which came from bond funds of $47.4
million, Authority equity of $3.5 million and debt service reserve funds of $4.5 million. The loss on
refunding was $3.9 million and is being amortized as a component of interest expense through the year
2033. This advance refunding reduced the Authority’s total debt service payments over the 26-year
period by $9.9 million and resulted in an economic gain (difference between the present values of the
old and new debt service payments) of $6.0 million. As part of the issuance of the bonds, there was an
unamortized premium of $4.8 million and $5.3 million as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The Series 1999A bonds were called; however, the Series 2002 bonds are not callable until 2012.
Accordingly, the Series 2002 bonds, aggregating $48.5 million and $49.3 million at June 30, 2011 and
2010, respectively, remain outstanding, but are excluded from the Authority’s balance sheets.
There are several conditions and covenants as required by the Master Bond Indenture, Master
Trust Indenture, Supplemental Master Trust Indenture No. 3, Supplemental Master Trust Indenture
No. 4 and Reimbursement Agreement with which the Obligated Group must comply, including a
covenant requiring a minimum debt service coverage ratio, and limitations on liens or security
interests in property, except for certain permitted encumbrances. The legal defeasance of the Series
1999A Bonds and Series 2002 Bonds resulted in the elimination of the need for a balance to be
held in the debt service reserve funds.
During November 2004, the Authority issued tax-exempt Variable Rate Demand Health Facilities
Revenue Bonds (the Series 2004 Bonds). The Series 2004 Bonds were issued in the aggregate
principal amount of $60 million with the initial advance of $50 million issued in fiscal year 2005
and a supplemental advance of $10 million issued in fiscal year 2006. The Series 2004 Bonds are
and will continue to be remarketed daily as per the Remarketing Agreement signed with Piper
Jaffray & Co. and bear interest at daily rates.
Payments will be made from funds drawn under an irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued
by US Bank National Association. The letter of credit covers the principal amount of the Series
2004 Bonds and up to 35 days accrued interest calculated at an assumed maximum interest rate
of 12% per annum, equaling $56.7 million and $57.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. In
addition, the letter of credit agreement provides loans to the Authority in the amount necessary to
purchase a portion of the variable rate demand revenue bonds if not remarketed. The agreements have
a fee rate of 0.85% per annum and expiration and repayment dates beyond June 30, 2012. There is a
day’s cash on hand and minimum debt service coverage ratio required by the Reimbursement
Agreement.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the Authority’s long-term debt was $311.0 million
and $243.5 million, respectively, based upon quoted market prices for the same or similar issues.
The uncapitalized portion of interest cost incurred was $9.6 million and $9.9 million for 2011 and
2010, respectively. The Authority capitalized interest related to certain projects being constructed
in the amount of $2.6 million and $1.4 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in
2011 is due to the costs capitalized for the MOB.
Note 5: Medical Office Building Lease Revenue Bonds
A major component of the affiliation agreement between the Authority and University included a
commitment by the Authority to develop and construct an $85 million medical office building for
lease by the University on behalf of UKP. During fiscal year 2010, the Authority, University and
UKP entered into an agreement whereby the University, on behalf of UKP, will lease 89% of the
building for 30 years. These University lease payments, beginning at $3.125 million per year, are
split between core rent and operating components each with their own inflator. The lease
commenced on July 18, 2011 when UKP took occupancy. The Authority assigned the rights to the
University lease payments to provide for approximately $55.2 million of bonds financed through
the Kansas Development Finance Authority (KDFA). The $55.2 million consisted of $49.4 million
of project funds, $5.1 million of capitalized interest funds (in order to pay the interest costs due
before the lease commences), and $0.7 million of issuance costs.
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
32
The MOB lease revenue bonds are considered non-recourse to the Authority and the sole source of
payment for the bonds are the University lease payments which have been assigned by the
Authority. There are other provisions to liquidate the bonds should either the lease or the
Affiliation Agreement terminate. A long term liability related to these funds was recognized as
MOB lease revenue bonds which will deplete as the assigned lease payments are made by the
University. These MOB lease revenue bonds and the associated debt service are not included in
the Authority’s debt ratios.
Note 6: Commitments
The Authority leases various facilities and equipment under operating leases. Total rental expense,
which includes provisions for maintenance in some cases, for all operating leases was approximately
$12.0 million and $11.2 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under operating leases as of
June 30, 2011, that have initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year (in thousands):

Note 10 discloses certain commitments included in the Affiliation Agreement.
Note 7: Income Taxes
The Authority has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service holding that it
is exempt from federal income taxes on related income as an integral part of the State of Kansas
and is a ―governmental unit‖ as described in Section 170(b)(1)(A)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code
(the Code).
The Authority has not been required to file a return related to unrelated business income and thus
there is not a statute of limitations.

Note 8: Retirement Plans
Kansas Public Employees Retirement System Plan
The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System Plan is an umbrella organization administering
the following three statewide retirement systems under one plan as provided by K.S.A. 74, Article
49: Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS), Kansas Police and Fire Retirement
System, and Kansas Retirement System for Judges. Employees of the Authority who were
participants in KPERS prior to their transfer to the Authority effective October 1, 1998, continue to
participate in KPERS. In addition, certain non-director-level employees hired after that date were
required to participate in KPERS after one year of service. As of January 1, 2004, employees who
were hired between October 1, 1998 and December 31, 2003, were given a choice between
continuing their participation in KPERS or participating in the University of Kansas Hospital
Retirement Savings Plan (the Savings Plan). Employees hired after December 31, 2003, will
generally participate in the Savings Plan.
The KPERS plan is a cost-sharing, multiemployer, defined benefit plan. KPERS is intended to be a
qualified retirement plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. Information relating to KPERS,
including stand-alone financial statements, is available by writing to KPERS, 611 South Kansas
Avenue, Suite 100, Topeka, Kansas 66603-3869 or accessing the internet at www.KPERS.org.
KPERS members may retire at age 65, at age 62 with ten years of service credit, or at any age
when a member’s combined age and years of service equal 85. KPERS members with ten or more
years of service credit may retire as early as age 55 with an actuarially reduced monthly benefit.
Benefits are based on credited service, final average salary and a statutory multiplier.
The law governing KPERS requires an actuary to make an annual valuation of the liabilities and
reserves and a determination of the contributions required to discharge the KPERS liabilities. The
actuary then recommends to the KPERS’ Board of Trustees the state wide employer-contribution
rates required to maintain the three systems on the actuarial reserve basis. The employer
contribution rate to KPERS was 6.74% for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011,
6.14% for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 5.54% for the period from
January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, and 4.93% for the period from July 1, 2008 through
December 31, 2008. Employee contributions are also made on a federal pretax basis at the
statutory rate of 4.0%. Employer contributions made and expensed during the years ended June 30,
2011, 2010 and 2009, were approximately $3.4 million, $3.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
Combined employer and employee funding for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was
$5.5 million, $5.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

Savings Plan
Effective October 1, 1998, the Authority established the University of Kansas Hospital Defined
Contribution Plan (the Defined Contribution Plan) under Section 401(a) of the Code. Eligibility for
the Defined Contribution Plan was initially limited to certain designated employees, including (1)
employees who transferred to the Authority on October 1, 1998, and were participants in (or in a
waiting period for) the 403(b) mandatory retirement plan maintained by the Kansas Board of
Regents and (2) senior executives, directors, practicing physicians, and designated information
services employees of the Authority. Effective January 1, 2004, the Defined Contribution Plan was
amended and restated as the Savings Plan. The Savings Plan is available to all new employees, as
well as those who made the one-time irrevocable election to participate in the Savings Plan in lieu
of the KPERS plan.
Participants in the Savings Plan who are at the director level or above are required to contribute
5.5% of their compensation to the Savings Plan on a pretax basis. The Authority then makes a
mandatory employer contribution equal to 8.5% of each participant’s compensation to the Savings
Plan.
Participants who are not director-level or above are required to contribute 4% of their salary
(increases to 5.5% after 20 years of service) to this plan. The Authority will contribute a
percentage of the participant’s pay as shown in the following table, based on years of service or
status.
Years of Service Contribution Percentage
Less than 5 3.0% 5 to 9 4.0 10 to 14 5.0 15 to 19 6.0 20 or more 8.5 Director and above 8.5
Contributions during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, from the Authority were approximately
$7.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and from the participants were $7.2 million and $6.5
million, respectively. The Authority has the right at any time and without the consent of any party
to terminate the Savings Plan in its entirety. Additionally, the Authority has the right to change the
provisions of the Savings Plan, including the contribution requirements.

compensation up to a threshold of $49,000 for certain physicians.
Contributions during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, from the Authority were $1.4 million
and $1.8 million, respectively.
Voluntary Savings Plan
The University of Kansas Hospital Voluntary Retirement Savings Plan (the Voluntary Savings
Plan) was established under Code Section 457(b). The Voluntary Savings Plan allows employees
classified as 0.5 FTE or greater to contribute a portion of their compensation to the Voluntary
Savings Plan on a pretax basis, up to a maximum of the lesser of a threshold of $16,500 or 100% of
the participant’s gross compensation.
Employees of the Authority are eligible to participate in the Voluntary Savings Plan without regard
to whether they are eligible to participate in KPERS or the Savings Plan.
Note 9: Insurance
The Authority is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; natural disasters; as well as from employees’ workers’
compensation, general and professional liability and employee health care.
University of Kansas Hospital Authority Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010

The Authority purchases commercial insurance for risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to,
and destruction of assets and errors and omissions, with varying deductibles. The Authority
continues to maintain such insurance coverage, and settled claims have not exceeded the
commercial coverage, after deductibles were met, in the past three years.
As of October 1, 2003, the Authority’s coverage related to workers’ compensation changed to
include a provision for a deductible of $275,000 per incident and $275,000 for each employee for
an occupational disease to be paid by the Authority. The insurer pays claims in excess of the
$275,000 limit. The Authority records a liability for the estimated amount of claims and related
expenses that have been incurred, but not reported or paid, as of the balance sheet date based upon
an actuarial analysis. Changes in the Authority’s workers’ compensation undiscounted claims
liability in fiscal 2011 and 2010 are summarized below and are included in other accrued liabilities

Through September 30, 1998, the University of Kansas Hospital was insured under a claims-made
policy with respect to institutional professional liability, with limits of $1 million per incident and
an aggregate annual liability of $3 million in each policy year.
Effective October 1, 1998, the Authority purchased commercial general and professional liability
insurance covering the Authority, its employed physicians and owned subsidiaries. General liability
coverage is an occurrence-based policy with limits of $1 million each occurrence and $3 million on
an annual aggregate basis. Professional liability coverage is extended on a claims-made basis with
limits of $1 million per medical incident and $3 million annual aggregate. A $50,000 deductible
per occurrence applies to all claims made subsequent to October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2005.
A $100,000 deductible per occurrence applies to all claims made subsequent to September 30, 2005.
The Authority records a liability for the estimated amount of claims that have been incurred, but
not reported or paid, as of the balance sheet date based upon an actuarial analysis. The Authority,
its employed physicians and subsidiaries participate in the Health Care Stabilization Fund as required
by Kansas statutes. The first layer of coverage ($200,000 per claim and $600,000 aggregate) is
through the primary insurer and the second layer of coverage ($800,000 per claim and $2,400,000
aggregate) is through the Health Care Stabilization Fund. Umbrella liability limits of $20 million
each occurrence and $20 million annual aggregate are also carried above each of these coverages.

Due to the liquidation of the Authority’s previous insurance carrier for umbrella coverage and the
statutory limits of both Kansas and Missouri guaranty funds, the Authority is at risk for general/
professional claims in excess of $1,100,000 (excluding attorney fees) brought in Kansas and made
between November 1, 2000 and October 1, 2001 (policy period of umbrella coverage). The Authority
performs a quarterly review of claims with insurers, loss control, Authority administration, and risk
management and is not aware of any claim reasonably expected to exceed the limits described above.
The Authority maintains insurance related to healthcare claims of its employees. This agreement
provides that as of January, 1, 2011 the Authority retains risk for $300,000 per employee ($200,000
per employee previously). Before January 1, 2011 this was limited by an aggregate based on the
number of employees covered, however the aggregate limit was dropped as of that date. The Authority
records a liability for the estimated amount of claims that have been incurred, but not reported or paid,
as of the balance sheet date. Changes in the Authority’s portion of the liability for accrued healthcare
claims in fiscal 2011 and 2010 are summarized below and are included in accrued salaries, wages, and
benefits in the balance sheets (in thousands):

In the event claims-made policies are not renewed or replaced with equivalent insurance coverage,
claims based on occurrences during their term, but reported subsequently, will be uninsured.
Management is currently not aware of any incidents that would result in losses that would have a
material adverse impact on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 10: Related-Party Transactions
During the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Authority incurred expenses of approximately
$5.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively, related to the contract services provided by the
University. An additional $28.0 million and $22.2 million in Authority expenses were in direct
support to the School of Medicine for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The
Authority also expensed $61.3 million and $50.3 million, respectively, and recorded revenue of
$20.0 million and $20.1 million, respectively, related to contracted services from UKP and its
affiliated physicians for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. As part of the affiliation
agreement, the Authority also provided additional support to UKP in the amount of $18.6 million
and $14.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At June 30, 2011
and 2010, the Authority had a net payable to the University of $1.5 million and $0.9 million,
respectively.
The Authority has an agreement with the Kansas Board of Regents to lease the real estate where
the Authority’s facilities were built. The real estate on which these buildings are located is owned
by the Kansas Board of Regents. The Authority owns the buildings that comprise the 620-bed
teaching and treatment facility, radiation oncology facility, an MOB, and a utility plant. The
Authority has a lease agreement to lease the real estate for a period of 99 years at an annual rate of
$1.00. The Authority and the University lease certain space to each other under various
agreements without compensation.
Note 11: Business Combination
On June 20, 2011, the Authority purchased the Kansas City area business assets and operations of
US Oncology (USON), certain assets from Kansas City Cancer Centers (KCCC), and assumed
certain liabilities of both USON and KCCC. KCCC is a ten location physician group in the Kansas
City area who provided cancer treatment and research to patients and USON had managed the
operations of the ten clinics in the Kansas City area. The results of these operations have been
included in the financial statements since that date. The Kansas City area assets purchased from
USON and KCCC include equipment of approximately $15 million, inventories, supplies, prepaid
expenses, intangibles and goodwill, and in the aggregate, these USON and KCCC assets total
approximately $41 million. The intangible assets were assigned a useful life of three years and the
goodwill was assigned a useful life of 25 years.
As a result of this transaction with USON and KCCC, the Authority in conjunction with the
University of Kansas School of Medicine and the faculty practice plan and two of its foundations,
manages and operates all ten of the outpatient locations as the University of Kansas Cancer Center.

Note 13: Litigation
The Authority has been named as the defendant in a number of lawsuits regarding matters
generally incidental to business. The final outcome of any of these lawsuits cannot be determined
at this time. However, management is of the opinion that any ultimate liability to which the
Authority may be exposed will not have a material effect on the Authority’s financial position.
Note 14: Collective Bargaining Units
The Kansas University Nurses Association and Public Service Employees Local Union 1290 P.E.
represent approximately 31.9% of the Authority’s employees. The Authority negotiates directly
with these collective bargaining units. Current collective bargaining agreements were renewed
during fiscal year 2010 and expire in 2013. Management views its relationship with its employees
and their respective collective bargaining units as satisfactory.

Note 15: Current Economic Conditions
The current protracted economic decline continues to present health systems with difficult
circumstances and challenges, which in some cases have resulted in large and unanticipated
declines in the fair value of investments and other assets, large declines in contributions,
constraints on liquidity and difficulty obtaining financing. The financial statements have been
prepared using values and information currently available to the Authority.
Current economic and financial market conditions, including the rising unemployment rate, have
made it difficult for certain of the Authority’s patients to pay for services rendered. As employers
make adjustments to health insurance plans or more patients become unemployed, services
provided to self-pay and other payers may significantly impact net patient service revenue, which
could have an adverse impact on the Authority’s future operating results. Further, the effect of
economic conditions on the state of Kansas may have an adverse effect on cash flows related to the
Medicaid programs.
Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in
the financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in
investment values and allowances for accounts receivable that could negatively impact the
Authority.
Note 16: Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Authority is in the process of securing financing of $125 million
through the Kansas Development Finance Authority to fund certain facilities and equipment. The
planned financing will be a combination of fixed and variable rate debt that is estimated to be split
between $100 million fixed and $25 million variable.
