Additional data

Community Benefit Expenditures: 2021

All tax-exempt organizations file a Form 990 with the IRS for every tax year. If the tax-exempt organization operates one or more hospital facilities during the tax year, the organization must attach a Schedule H to Form 990. On Part I of Schedule H, the organization records the expenditures it made during the tax year for various types of community benefits; 9 types are shown on this web tool. By default, this web tool presents community benefit expenditures as a percentage of the organization’s functional expenses, which it reports on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column A. (The more commonly heard term, ‘total operating expenses’, which organizations report to CMS, is generally about 90% of the ‘functional expenses’). The user may change the default to see the dollar expenditures.

Financial Assistance at cost as % of operating expenses	$ 1,334,327 2.21 %

Other Useful Tax-exempt Hospital Information: 2021

In addition to community benefit and community building expenditures, the Schedule H worksheet includes sections on what percentage of bad debt can be attributable to patients eligible for financial assistance, and questions on the tax-exempt hospital's debt collection policy. When searching a specific tax-exempt hospital in this web tool, Section II provides information about bad debt and the financial assistance policy, and whether the state in which the tax-exempt hospital resides has expanded Medicaid coverage under the federal ACA.

Of the tax-exempt hospital’s overall operating expenses, amount reported as bad debt as % of operating expenses	$ 2,075,742 3.43 %
Is the tax-exempt hospital considered a "sole community hospital" under the Medicare program?	NO

Information about the tax-exempt hospital's Financial Assistance Policy and Debt Collection Policy
The Financial Assistance Policy section of Schedule H has changed over the years. The questions listed below reflect the questions on the 2009-2011 Schedule H forms and the answers tax-exempt hospitals provided for those years. The Financial Assistance Policy requirements were changed under the ACA. In the future, as the Community Benefit Insight web site is populated with 2022 data and subsequent years, the web tool will also be updated to reflect the new wording and requirements. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this section, we encourage you to contact your tax-exempt hospital directly.

Does the organization have a written financial assistance (charity care) policy?	YES
Did the tax-exempt hospital rely upon Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) to determine when to provide free or discounted care for patients?	YES
Amount of the tax-exempt hospital’s bad debt (at cost) attributed to patients eligible under the organization’s financial assistance (charity care) policy as % of operating expenses	$ 103,787 5.00 %

Did the tax-exempt hospital, or an authorized third party, take any of the following collection activities before determining whether the patient was eligible for financial assistance:
Under the ACA, states have the choice to expand Medicaid eligibility for their residents up to 138% of the federal poverty guidelines. The Medicaid expansion provision of the ACA did not go into effect until January 2014, so data in this web tool will not reflect each state's current Medicaid eligibility threshold. For up to date information, please visit the Terms and Glossary under the Resources tab.
The federal poverty guidelines (FPG) are set by the government and used to determine eligibility for many federal financial assistance programs. Tax-exempt hospitals often use FPG guidelines in their Financial Assistance policies to determine which patients will qualify for free or discounted care.
In addition to the federal requirements, some states have laws stipulating community benefit requirements as a result of tax-exemption. The laws vary from state to state and may require the tax-exempt hospitals to submit community benefit reports. Data on this web tool captures whether or not a state had a mandatory community benefit reporting law as of 2011. For more information, please see Community Benefit State Law Profiles Comparison at The Hilltop Institute.

Community Health Needs Assessment Activities: 2021

The ACA requires all 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospitals to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years, starting with the hospital's tax year beginning after March 23, 2012. The 2011 Schedule H included an optional section of questions on the CHNA process. This web tool includes responses for those hospitals voluntary reporting this information. The web tool will be updated to reflect changes in these questions on the 2012 and subsequent Schedule H forms.

Did the tax-exempt hospital report that they had conducted a CHNA?	YES
Did the CHNA define the community served by the tax-exempt hospital?	YES
Did the CHNA consider input from individuals that represent the broad interests of the community served by the tax-exempt hospital?	YES
Did the tax-exempt hospital make the CHNA widely available (i.e. post online)?	YES
Did the tax-exempt hospital adopt an implementation strategy to address the community needs identified by the CHNA?	YES

THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT AMENDMENT TO ESTABLISH MEDICARE STATES THAT MEDICARE WILL NOT PAY THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO NON-BENEFICIARIES AND NON-BENEFICIARIES WILL NOT PAY THE COST OF CARE FOR BENEFICIARIES. WHEN MEDICARE DOES NOT PAY RATES THAT COVER ALL THE COST OF CARE FOR BENEFICIARIES, IT BECOMES A COMMUNITY BURDEN. THEREFORE, THE FULL AMOUNT OF SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.THIS ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT CALCULATION IS A MORE ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF COST THAN THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS USED FOR COST REPORTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE UTILIZED ON THIS SCHEDULE IN PART III, SECTION B. THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE ALL MEDICARE REVENUES AND COSTS AND ALSO USE A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO METHOD.COSTING METHODOLOGY: AN AVERAGE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IS APPLIED TO THE CHARGE WRITE-OFF. THE RATIO IS CALCULATED BY REMOVING FROM TOTAL EXPENSE THE OTHER OPERATING INCOME, UNCOMPENSATED CARE EXPENSE AND THE DIRECTLY ASSIGNED MEDICAID ASSESSMENT EXPENSE, THEN DIVIDING THIS NET EXPENSE BY TOTAL GROSS PATIENT REVENUES. THIS RATIO IS MULTIPLIED WITH THE CHARITY CARE CHARGES AND UNCOMPENSATED CARE CHARGES WRITTEN OFF FOR THE RELATED EXPENSE.
