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.

as % of operating expenses$ 8,501,069 6.46 %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.

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? YES 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

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.

PART III, LINE 2: COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO APPLIED AGAINST BAD DEBT CHARGES FROM UN-DISCOUNTED SELF-PAY PATIENTS.
PART III, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A FOOTNOTE ON BAD DEBT. BAD DEBT IS PRESENTED AT GROSS CHARGES. PER THE HOSPITAL'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES THAT SOME PORTION OF ITS BAD DEBT MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT HAVE 24 HOUR COVERAGE IN THE ED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALSO, SOME PATIENTS TREATED REFUSE TO MEET AND DISCUSS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPTIONS. THE ANDI REPORT WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT THAT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ANOTHER FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE ESTIMATE OF BAD DEBT THAT MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS THAT WE DO NOT VISIT OUR INSURED INPATIENTS THAT MAY HAVE HIGH DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-INSURANCES. IN FUTURE YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION PLANS TO IMPROVE CONSULTATION SESSIONS TO INLCUDE INSURED PATIENTS WITH POTENTIALLY HIGH DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-PAYMENTS.

PATIENTS APPLYING FOR AID ARE PLACED IN A HOLD STATUS BY THE PALS TEAM TO AVOID COLLECTIONS. PATIENTS WHO HAVE MADE AN EFFORT TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION OR WHO MAY NOT HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION AND THEIR ACCOUNT GOES TO A COLLECTION STATUS ARE EVALUATED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS TO DETERMINE IF THE ACCOUNT IS REMOVED FROM COLLECTIONS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED.
