Community Benefit Expenditures: 2020
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: 2020
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.

as % of operating expenses$ 0 0 %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 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? 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$ 0 0 %- 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:
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? YES 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? Not available 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
Community Health Needs Assessment Activities: 2020
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 BURDETT CARE CENTER (""BURDETT CARE"") IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL IN TROY, NEW YORK THAT COMMENCED OPERATIONS ON OCTOBER 1, 2011. BURDETT CARE IS LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF SAMARITAN HOSPITAL, IN NEW CONDOMINIUM SPACE PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY SAMARITAN'S MATERNITY DEPARTMENT. BURDETT CARE IS DEDICATED TO MATERNITY AND REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES, OTHER THAN ABORTION. BURDETT CARE WAS FORMED TO OFFER HIGH QUALITY MATERNITY SERVICES TO WOMEN IN THE AREA AND TO PRESERVE ACCESS BY THOSE WOMEN TO REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH MATERNITY SERVICES. THE BURDETT CARE CONCEPT AROSE OUT OF MERGER DISCUSSIONS AMONG NORTHEAST HEALTH, ST PETER'S HEALTH CARE SERVICES, AND SETON HEALTH SYSTEM. THE MERGER PARTIES AGREED THAT NORTHEAST HEALTH WOULD REMAIN SECULAR IN CONNECTION WITH ITS AFFILIATION WITH THE TWO CATHOLIC SYSTEMS, BUT THAT NORTHEAST HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES, INCLUDING SAMARITAN HOSPITAL WOULD ABIDE BY THE ETHICAL AND RELIGIOUS DIRECTIVES FOR CATHOLIC HEALTH CARE SERVICES (THE ""ERDS""). THE MERGER PARTIES FURTHER AGREED THAT, IN ORDER TO PURSUE THE MERGER OF HEALTH SYSTEMS WHILE PRESERVING REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES IN TROY, A NEW HOSPITAL - LATER NAMED THE BURDETT CARE CENTER - WOULD BE FORMED WITHIN THE SAMARITAN FACILITY, WITH AN INDEPENDENT GOVERNING BOARD, INDEPENDENT MEDICAL STAFF, AND INDEPENDENT NURSING STAFF. BURDETT CARE IS NOT BOUND BY ERDS.BURDETT CARE IS A 15-BED HOSPITAL FACILITY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES INCLUDING MATERNITY, LABOR, DELIVERY, NURSERY, CONTRACEPTIVE AND STERILIZATION. IN 2020 BURDETT CARE DELIVERED 734 BABIES, AND NO STERILIZATION AS THIS WAS DISCONTINUED IN SEPT 2019."

Schedule H (Form 990) Part VI
PART I, LINE 7: AN OVERALL HOSPITAL COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS CALCULATED USING TOTAL EXPENSES OVER TOTAL REVENUE. THE HOSPITAL APPLIED THIS RATIO TO THE CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRAIGHT MEDICAID PLAYER CLASSIFICATION AND THE MEDICAID MANAGED CARE PAYER CLASSIFICATIONS.
PART III, LINE 2: THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS CALCULATED ON AN ALLOWANCE/RESERVE BASIS. EACH MONTH, ACCOUNT BALANCES, NET OF PAYMENTS, DISCOUNTS AND CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES, ARE SORTED BY THE AGE OF THE RECEIVABLE AND PAYOR GROUP. EACH PAYOR AND AGING GROUP IS ASSIGNED A PERCENTAGE THAT WILL BE USED TO CALCULATE A RESERVE/ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBT. THIS ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNT TOTAL IS COMBINED WITH OUR BAD DEBT ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE BALANCE TO ARRIVE AT A TOTAL ESTIMATED ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THIS TOTAL IS COMPARED TO OUR TOTAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECORDED IN THE HOSPITAL'S GENERAL LEDGER. THE DIFFERENCE IS RECORDED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE.ACCOUNT BALANCES ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ONCE THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE BALANCES ARE NET OF DISCOUNTS, ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THESE ACCOUNTS.IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST FOR PART III, LINE 2, THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS MULTIPLIED BY AN OVERALL HOSPITAL COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 4: THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS CONTAINED ON PAGE 11 OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8: THE COST HAD DECREASED DUE TO THE DECREASE IN THE RCC (46.16% VS 51.07%).
PART III, LINE 9B: IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THEIR ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE USUAL COLLECTION PRACTICES DURING THIS PROCESS. IF THE PATIENT DOES NOT SUBMIT THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION WITHIN 120 DAYS, THEN THEIR ACCOUNT COULD BE FORWARDED TO COLLECTIONS.PART III, LINE 8: COSTING METHODOLOGY - BURDETT CARE CENTER USED THE OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO TIMES THE CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEDICARE PAYER CLASSIFICATION TO ARRIVE AT THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COST OF CARE.
PART VI, LINE 3: "IN ADDITION TO POSTING BURDETT CARE CENTER'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE, BURDETT CARE CENTER PHYSICALLY POSTS THE POLICY AT ALMOST ALL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT INTAKE DESKS. ALL REGISTRATION PERSONNEL ARE TRAINED TO KNOW THE PROCEDURES FOR ASSISTING PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE. BURDETT CARE CENTER HAS ALSO CONTRACTED WITH A FIRM THAT SUPPLIES THE SERVICES OF A MEDICAID ENROLLER ""ON-SITE""."
PART VI, LINE 4: "BURDETT CARE CONSIDERS THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES TO COMPRISE ALBANY AND RENSSELAER COUNTIES. THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY RESIDENTS OF THE CAPITAL REGION OUTSIDE OF ALBANY AND RENSSELAER COUNTIES ARE UNLIKELY TO SEEK SERVICES FROM BURDETT CARE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED PART OF ""THE COMMUNITY."" FIRST, FOR MOST SUCH PERSONS, BURDETT CARE IS MORE DISTANT THAN OTHER MATERNITY AND REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES RESOURCES, SUCH AS ELLIS HOSPITAL, SARATOGA HOSPITAL, ALBANY MEDICAL CENTER OR ST. PETER'S HOSPITAL. SECOND, IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT BURDETT CARE IS ON THE TROY SIDE OF THE HUDSON RIVER. WHILE RESIDENTS OF ALBANY COUNTY - PARTICULARLY EASTERN ALBANY COUNTY - DO USE THE SERVICES IN TROY, TO RESIDENTS IN POPULATION CENTERS FURTHER WEST, NORTHWEST OR SOUTHWEST, THE RIVER IS PERCEIVED AS A BARRIER OR BORDER. BURDETT CARE IS NEW, AND DOES NOT YET HAVE THE NAME RECOGNITION OR PERCEIVED PRESTIGE AS COMPETING SERVICES. BUT WITHIN RENSSELAER AND ALBANY COUNTIES, BURDETT CARE IS SEEN AS A SUCCESSOR PROVIDER TO THE MATERNITY AND REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED BY SAMARITAN HOSPITAL AND SETON HEALTH SYSTEM, WHICH WERE DISCONTINUED WHEN BURDETT CARE OPENED. OVER 77% OF THE PATIENTS GIVING BIRTH AT BURDETT CARE RESIDE IN ALBANY AND RENSSELAER COUNTIES."
PART VI, LINE 5: BURDETT CARE WAS OPENED IN 2011 TO PRESERVE ACCESS TO STERILIZATION SERVICE IN THE TROY, NEW YORK AREA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MERGING OF SECULAR AND CATHOLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE AREA. IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PURPOSE AND TO PROMOTE WOMEN'S HEALTH GENERALLY, BURDETT CARE PERIODICALLY HOLDS COMMUNITY FORUMS AND PROMOTES HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFERED IN THE COMMUNITY TO PATIENTS, SUCH AS TOBACCO CESSATION PROGRAMS, OPIOID OVERDOSE (NARCAN) TRAINING AND DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAMS. ATTENDEES INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT MATERNITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS. BURDETT CARE ALSO PROVIDES LAMAZE CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION, BREASTFEEDING EDUCATION AND SUPPORT GROUPS, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUPS, INFANT MASSAGE, AND SIBLING CLASSES.IN ADDITION, BURDETT CARE IS MANAGED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPOSED PRIMARILY OF INDEPENDENT LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY. BURDETT CARE HAS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF. BURDETT CARE PRESENTLY OPERATES AT A DEFICIT, BUT ANY FUTURE SURPLUSES WILL CERTAINLY BE USED TO FUND THE CAPITAL AND OPERATIONAL NEEDS OF BURDETT CARE'S SERVICES.
