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.

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.

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 2021 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?

Reported to credit agency Not available 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.
After enactment of the ACA, has the state in which this tax-exempt hospital is located expanded Medicaid? NO 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.
If not, is the state's Medicaid threshold for working parents at or below 76% of the federal poverty guidelines? NO 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.
Does the state in which the tax-exempt hospital is located have a mandatory community benefit reporting statute? YES

Facility: Northern Light Sebasticook Val - Part V, Section B, Line 5 The Maine Shared CHNA research team conducted a statewide qualitative assessment among stakeholders to identify and prioritize significant health issues in communities across the state. The assessment, coordinated with the Maine CDC, engaged public health expertise throughout the process. Community outreach was conducted between September 2021 and January 2022. All forms of engagement included public forums, community sponsored events, and oral surveys. The purpose of these outreach efforts was to gather feedback on data and to identify health priorities, community assets, and gaps in resources to be used in health improvement planning. Virtual community forums with residents and service providers were held in the county in partnership with the Maine CDC to solicit input from individuals representing populations with health disparities including medically underserved, low-income, or minority populations. The following organizations attended the November 16, 2021, Somerset County Shared CHNA Community Engagement Forum and provided valuable feedback on the Maine Shared CHNA.Persons representing broad interests of the community who were consulted during the engagement process (the following list was extracted from the Somerset County CHNA report, page 22): Coburn Park Commission, Healthy Living for ME, Kennebec Behavioral Health (KBH), Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, MaineGeneral Health, Maine General Medical Center, Northern Light Health, Northern Light Homecare and Hospice, Northern Light Inland Hospital, Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital, Office of Child and Family Services, Redington Fairview General Hospital, RSU #74, School District, Skowhegan Regional Chamber of Commerce, Somerset Public Health, Trusted Ride Certified.

Facility: Northern Light Sebasticook Val - Part V, Section B, Line 11 Northern Light Health recently conducted their 2022 Shared Community Health Needs Assessment that will inform priority work for implementation in FY23 FY25. In FY22, Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital developed our plan to address significant needs identified in our 2022 Community Health Strategy (aka, implementation strategy). Though priority work from the 2022 Shared CHNA wont begin until FY23, Sebasticook Valley Hospital will be prepared to implement priority work from our 2022 strategy with no gap in implementation efforts between the two CHNA cycles. While conducting the 2022 Shared CHNA research and outreach, Sebasticook Valley Hospital continued to implement priority work from the final year, FY22, of the three-year 2019 Community Health Strategy (implementation years FY20, FY21, and FY22). Below reflect these efforts related to the 2019 Community Health Strategy.The data gathered from the 2019 Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (Shared CHNA) informed Sebasticook Valley Hospitals Community Health Strategy (Implementation Strategy) developed with input from community stakeholders including those who serve priority populations, the local Public Health District Liaison, local business leaders, and community advocates. Priorities were selected after weighing the severity of each priority area, availability of known and effective interventions, determination that the priority area was un-addressed or under-addressed, and community collaborations underway with Sebasticook Valley Hospital. A hospital task force considered the data and identified areas of significant need including priority concerns, intended actions to address the need, programs and resource allocation, planned collaborations, and population of focus. The implementation strategy was presented and adopted by the hospitals governing board. Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital identified five priority areas of focus addressing the significant needs identified in its 2019 CHNA as follows:Social determinants of health social needsActions taken by Sebasticook Valley Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Health made significant progress in Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) screening and intervention in our primary care practices. The Northern Light Health SDOH Team defined completed SDOH screening and established a system policy for minimum SDOH screening standards to provide consistency in screening guidelines. During the course of FY22, the SDOH Team worked with Information Systems to continually improve the SDOH Screening Tool based on user recommendations and will continue to manage user requests moving forward. SDOH Team leaders worked with members of Northern Light Health Quality to develop a SDOH screening dashboard which provides real-time screening rates by member organization, practice, provider, and payor type, as well as prevalence of SDOH need from positive screening results. The dashboard is undergoing validation and is anticipated to be available in FY23. Northern Light Health achieved a significant milestone in responding to social health needs when the new Northern Light Health findhelp platform went live on September 13, 2022. Findhelp is a national social care network that will make it easier for patients and providers to find and connect with local resources. The platform is embedded within our electronic health record so that care teams can find and refer patients to resources and has a public portal that community members can access at any time. In addition, Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital used the patient navigator and community partners to refer patients to implement screening and referral to health-related social services.Substance useActions taken by Sebasticook Valley Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital (SVH) used the partnerships and resources from the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) grant and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Local Drug Crisis grant to engage in community-based substance use prevention efforts. Through these partnerships with community organizations, SVH was able to increase substance use prevention efforts by distributing resources for prevention, treatment, and recovery; hosting community events to raise awareness; enhancing skills among youth and their families through implementing evidence-based curriculum in local school departments; training community members on overdose prevention and naloxone administration; promoting substance use prevention efforts through social media platforms and digital media campaigns; and passing a policy to include community-based overdose prevention education and naloxone distribution.Social determinants of health food insecurityActions taken by Sebasticook Valley Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital continued to conduct patient screenings in Cerner (our electronic medical records) as part of in-take information. Each of the five practices participated in the food insecurity screening. Additionally, all practices participated in the Good Shepherd Community Health and Hunger Program by giving pre-bagged food to patients in need.Mental health Actions taken by Sebasticook Valley Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital (SVH) used community partnerships to increase educational programs to raise awareness, readiness, and access to mental health services. Through these partnerships, SVH was able to increase awareness through the distribution of behavioral health guides; develop social media posts to promote mental health awareness; conducted trainings for local school staff and community members; and lastly, enhance skills of youth and families through the distribution of stress less kits and tips.Older adult health/healthy agingActions taken by Sebasticook Valley Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital partnered with the primary care providers to increase patient education and raise awareness of palliative and end-of-life care options. Patient education is occurring during visits via telehealth, in-patient care, or within the primary care setting. The primary care provider also attends the weekly Integrated Discharge Team meetings with palliative north group and has attended five Cerner (our electronic medical record) palliative care meetings.Additional information related to actions taken by Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital on the above priorities can be found in their FY22 Progress Report to Our Community at https://northernlighthealth.org/2019-Community-Health-Strategy. Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital considered all priorities identified in the Shared CHNA, as well as other sources, through an extensive review process. While the full spectrum of needs is important, Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital is currently poised to focus only on the highest priorities at this time. A number of priorities not selected, due to a variety of reasons are listed below:Access to Care - This identified health need is not being addressed directly as a strategy born out of our community health needs assessment as our hospital has current initiatives focused on improving access to care such as provider recruitment, community health navigators (to link vulnerable populations with needed resources), and other efforts that are ongoing and part of our continual mission to improve access to care.
