THE CHI HEALTH SYSTEM PRODUCES AN ANNUAL PUBLIC COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT THAT IS MAILED TO A CORE CONSTITUENCY, PLACED IN KEY PLACES THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION AND DISTRIBUTED IN COMMUNITY MEETINGS. IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE COMPANY'S INTRANET SITE, AND ON ITS PUBLIC WEBSITE AT HTTPS://WWW.CHIHEALTH.COM/EN/ABOUT-US/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT.HTML.

PART I, LINE 7:
"COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH HOSPITALS USE A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OR AN ADJUSTED COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH WORKSHEET 2 FOR EACH REPORTING FACILITY, TO DERIVE THE REPORTED COSTS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS. WORKSHEET 3 OR THE EQUIVALENT IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT INVENTORY FOR SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY (""CBISA"") SOFTWARE ARE USED TO CALCULATE EXPENSE AND REVENUE, INCLUDING WHERE APPLICABLE MEDICAID PROVIDER FEES AND PAYMENTS FROM UNCOMPENSATED CARE PROGRAMS. ACTUAL OR ESTIMATED COST AND ANY DIRECT OFFSETTING REVENUE IS REPORTED, AND SCHEDULE H WORKSHEETS OR THEIR EQUIVALENTS ARE USED, FOR OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES SUCH AS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES, COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS, HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION, SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES, RESEARCH, AND CASH AND IN-KIND DONATIONS."

PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:
CHI HEALTH HAS A HISTORY OF CENTRALIZED COMMUNITY BENEFIT INVESTMENTS, AS WELL AS HOSPITAL SPECIFIC INVESTMENTS THAT ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WHICH INCLUDE SUPPORT OF LOCAL HEALTH COALITIONS, INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS AND PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL COMMITTEES AND BOARDS TIED TO TOP HEALTH NEEDS, AND INVESTMENTS IN MANY OTHER WAYS AS DESCRIBED IN OTHER AREAS OF THE SCHEDULE H NARRATIVE. BELOW ARE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF WORK THAT FALLS WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE CRITICAL IN HELPING BUILD SOCIAL, HEALTH, AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT ULTIMATELY DRIVE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS: - PARTICIPATE IN TEAMMATES MENTORING PROGRAM TO CARE FOR A YOUNGER POPULATION (K-12) AND IS DIRECTED TO MENTOR YOUTH THAT MAY NOT HAVE AN IDEAL SITUATION AT HOME OR LACK LEADERSHIP.

PART III, LINE 2:
THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT AT COST IS DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO TO PATIENT CHARGES THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE OR REFUSE TO PAY THEIR BILLS AND DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE, GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PROGRAMS OR OTHER PAYMENT ASSISTANCE, AND ARE OTHERWISE UNINSURED.THE FILING ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FREE CARE TO ANY PATIENT WHOSE FAMILY INCOME IS AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, OR DISCOUNTED CARE TO UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME IS ABOVE 201% BUT LOWER THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. THE FILING ORGANIZATION ALSO PROVIDES OPTIONS FOR PROMPT PAY DISCOUNTS, AND INTEREST-FREE EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS FOR PATIENTS WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED GOOD FAITH AND ARE COOPERATING IN RESOLVING THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS. ALL ACCOUNTS FOR ELIGIBLE UNINSURED PATIENTS AT ALL FACILITIES RECEIVE AN AUTOMATIC UNINSURED DISCOUNT. THE EXPECTED PATIENT PAYMENT AMOUNT ON THE PATIENT'S BILL REFLECTS THIS DISCOUNT. DISCOUNTS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR AS DEDUCTIONS FROM REVENUE, NOT AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE.

PART III, LINE 3:
ALEGENT CREIGHTON HEALTH MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO DETERMINE IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UPON ADMISSION. ALEGENT CREIGHTON HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS COMMUNICATED TO PATIENTS UPON ADMISSION AND IS AVAILABLE IN THE LANGUAGES PRIMARILY SPOKEN IN THE COMMUNITY. IT IS ALSO POSTED IN VARIOUS COMMON AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL, SUCH AS EMERGENCY ROOMS, URGENT CARE CENTERS, ADMITTING AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICES LOCATED ON FACILITY CAMPUSES, AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES, AND IS PROVIDED UPON BILLING IF ELIGIBILITY IS NOT PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED. ELIGIBILITY IS REEVALUATED AS NEEDED AND AMOUNTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS CHARITY AS SOON AS ELIGIBILITY IS KNOWN. ALEGENT CREIGHTON HEALTH ALSO UTILIZES A PAYMENT ASSISTANCE RANK ORDERING (PARO) SCORING SYSTEM TO ASSIST IN DETERMINING IF AN UNINSURED PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR PAYMENT ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR IT. PARO IS A METHODOLOGY THAT APPLIES CONSISTENT SCREENING AND APPLICATION STANDARDS TO ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS UTILIZING HISTORICAL DATA TO DEVELOP A PREDICTIVE MODEL FOR HEALTHCARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. IN ITS DEVELOPMENT, SPECIAL ATTENTION WAS PAID TO THOSE SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS THAT MIGHT ADVERSELY AFFECT THOSE PATIENTS DESERVING THE MOST ATTENTION. OTHER CRITERIA ARE ALSO UTILIZED TO ENSURE THAT SERVICES THAT HAVE QUALIFIED AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE NOT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT. AS SUCH, ALEGENT CREIGHTON HEALTH DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN PART III, LINE 2, ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S PAYMENT ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND THEREFORE, NO PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE.

PART III, LINE 4:
"ALEGENT CREIGHTON HEALTH DOES NOT ISSUE SEPARATE COMPANY AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION IS INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH. THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM COMMONSPIRIT'S CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022, RELATED TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND NET PATIENT REVENUE. THE ENTIRE FOOTNOTE CAN BE VIEWED IN THE ATTACHED COMMONSPIRIT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON PAGES 12-13.""PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE AMOUNTS THAT REFLECT THE CONSIDERATION COMMONSPIRIT EXPECTS TO BE PAID IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. THESE AMOUNTS ARE DUE FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS (INCLUDING HEALTH INSURERS AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS), AND OTHERS, AND INCLUDE CONSIDERATION FOR RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO SETTLEMENT OF AUDITS AND REVIEWS. GENERALLY, PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE RECOGNIZED OVER TIME AS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. NET PATIENT REVENUE IS PRIMARILY COMPRISED OF HOSPITAL AND PHYSICIAN SERVICES."""

PART III, LINE 8:
COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH HOSPITALS PREPARE MEDICARE COST REPORTS IN A MANNER THAT COMPORTS WITH PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENT MANUAL (PRM) 15-1 AND PRM 15-2 CHAPTER 40 (TRANSMITTAL 13). AS SUCH, THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE PER PRM 15-1 DESCRIBES THE COMPUTATION OF COSTS PER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT: TOTAL ALLOWABLE COSTS OF A PROVIDER ARE APPORTIONED BETWEEN PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES AND OTHER PATIENTS SO THAT THE SHARE BORNE BY THE PROGRAM IS BASED UPON ACTUAL SERVICES RECEIVED BY PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES. THE RATIO OF COVERED BENEFICIARY CHARGES TO TOTAL PATIENT CHARGES FOR THE SERVICES OF EACH ANCILLARY DEPARTMENT IS APPLIED TO THE COST OF THE DEPARTMENT. ADDED TO THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST OF ROUTINE SERVICES FOR PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES, DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF A SEPARATE AVERAGE COST PER DIEM FOR ALL PATIENTS FOR GENERAL ROUTINE PATIENT CARE AREAS. ANOTHER FACTOR CONSIDERED IS A SEPARATE AVERAGE COST PER DIEM FOR EACH INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, CORONARY CARE UNIT, AND OTHER SPECIAL CARE INPATIENT HOSPITAL UNITS. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH AND ITS SUBORDINATE CORPORATIONS BELIEVE THAT THE ENTIRE MEDICARE SHORTFALL FOR THE CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES CONSTITUTES COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH HOSPITALS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE HOSPITALS PROVIDE CARE REGARDLESS OF THIS SHORTFALL AND THEREBY RELIEVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. ALEGENT CREIGHTON HEALTH'S SHORTFALL, AS REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION B, LINE 7, OF $15,275,904 REPRESENTS THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORTS.

PART III, LINE 9B:
COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH ENSURES THAT PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE PROCESSED FAIRLY AND CONSISTENTLY. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH'S BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM PATIENTS WHO THE ORGANIZATION KNOWS QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS WITH INCORRECT OR INCOMPLETE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ARE ASSIGNED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY IF THE COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH FACILITY, OR BILLING COMPANY RETAINED BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH, IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN AN UPDATED ADDRESS THROUGH SKIP TRACING OR OTHER MEANS. FOR PATIENTS WHO HAVE AN APPLICATION PENDING FOR EITHER GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ASSISTANCE OR FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, OR WHERE THE PATIENT IS ATTEMPTING IN GOOD FAITH TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING BILL WITH THE FACILITY VIA PAYMENT PLANS, COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH WILL NOT KNOWINGLY SEND THAT PATIENT'S BILL TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. ON SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA NOTED ABOVE, THE INITIAL DETERMINATION OF ASSIGNMENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE ACCOUNT WITH THE FINAL DECISION BEING AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BILLING COMPANY RETAINED BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH. UPON ASSIGNMENT OF SUCH A PATIENT ACCOUNT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY, COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH REQUIRES THE AGENCY TO COMPLY WITH THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.

PART VI, LINE 3:
INFORMATION ABOUT COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND A CONTACT NUMBER ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS AND THE PUBLIC. PATIENTS ARE INFORMED OF COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM VIA SIGNAGE IN ALL ADMITTING AREAS AND IN VARIOUS COMMON AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL.

SUCH INFORMATION IS PROVIDED IN THE PRIMARY LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN THE COMMUNITIES COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH SERVES. THE SIGNAGE INCLUDES NOTIFICATION THAT FURTHER DISCOUNTS MAY BE PROVIDED UPON THE COMPLETION AND SUBMISSION OF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND HOW TO REACH STAFF THAT CAN ASSIST WITH ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND GUIDE PATIENTS THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS. INFORMATION CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON THE FACILITY WEBSITES. IF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS NOT DETERMINED PRIOR TO BILLING, INITIAL BILLING STATEMENTS TO PATIENTS INCLUDE A REQUEST TO THE PATIENT TO PROVIDE ANY INSURANCE INFORMATION THAT WAS VALID FOR THE DATES OF SERVICE BILLED AND A STATEMENT INFORMING PATIENTS HOW TO CONTACT US REGARDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ADDITIONALLY, CONTRACT TERMS WITH COLLECTION VENDORS WORKING ON BEHALF OF COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH REQUIRE THEY FOLLOW COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ALSO, REFERRAL OF PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MAY BE MADE BY ANY MEMBER OF THE COMMONSPIRIT HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION NON-MEDICAL OR MEDICAL STAFF, INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, NURSES, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS, SOCIAL WORKERS, CASE MANAGERS, CHAPLAINS, AND RELIGIOUS SPONSORS. A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE MAY BE MADE BY THE PATIENT OR A FAMILY MEMBER, CLOSE FRIEND OR ASSOCIATE OF THE PATIENT, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE PRIVACY LAWS.
