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.
Of the tax-exempt hospital’s overall operating expenses, amount reported as bad debt
as % of operating expenses$ 61,930,966 5.12 %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$ 3,498,097 5.65 %- 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: 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

PART III, LINE 2: "THE TOLEDO HOSPITAL'S ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND RELATED BAD DEBT EXPENSE USES A RECEIPTS ""LOOK-BACK"" METHOD UTILIZING HISTORICAL PAYMENT DATA ON ACCOUNTS, INCLUDING CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR PAYER DISCOUNTS, AS WELL AS PATIENT PAYMENTS, SUCH AS CO-PAYS AND DEDUCTIBLES, TO ESTABLISH ANTICIPATED COLLECTABILITY RATES FOR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE WITHIN EACH PAYER CATEGORY."
PART III, LINE 3: THE TOLEDO HOSPITAL ESTIMATED THE POSSIBLE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITHIN BAD DEBT EXPENSE BY REVIEWING ACCOUNTS THAT WERE INTERNALLY CODED AS HAVING BEEN PROVIDED A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, BUT THAT WAS NOT ADEQUATELY COMPLETED BY THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR, IN WHICH THE ACCOUNT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT.
PART III, LINE 4: PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS AND ALLOWANCE FOR ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS ARE DISCUSSED ON PAGE 18 AND 19 OF THE ATTACHED PROMEDICA HEALTH SYSTEM AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT WITH SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.
PART III, LINE 8: MEDICARE SHORTFALL, WHICH IS THE EXCESS OF COSTS TO TREAT MEDICARE PATIENTS OVER THE REIMBURSEMENT RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPRESENTS THE RELIEF OF A FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE BORNE BY A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. - THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPRESENTS A SOCIETAL BENEFIT INSOFAR AS MANY OF THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY, IF THE DECISION TO PROVIDE SUCH SERVICES WAS MADE ON A FINANCIAL BASIS. - MEDICARE IS A SOCIETAL BENEFIT, PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, FOR THOSE WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNINSURED AFTER AGING OUT OF TRADITIONAL MEANS OF HEALTH INSURANCE, SUCH AS INSURANCE PROVIDED BY AN EMPLOYER. - MEDICARE IS NOT A TRUE MARKET PAYER, AS COMPARED TO COMMERCIAL PAYERS, WHEREBY REIMBURSEMENT RATES CAN BE NEGOTIATED AND ADJUSTED IN ORDER TO REDUCE INCURRED LOSSES.THE TOLEDO HOSPITAL USED THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS PER ITS 2021 AS-FILED MEDICARE COST REPORTS, LESS ANY ADJUSTMENTS FOR SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES AND HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION, IF APPLICABLE.

THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DOES NOT REFLECT ALL OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MEDICARE PROGRAMS.
PART III, LINE 9B: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNTS ARE GRANTED FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES WHEN IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE PATIENT AND FAMILY INCOME MEETS THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED. PATIENTS WHO HAVE INSURANCE COVERAGE OR WHO ARE ENTITLED TO GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE ARE IDENTIFIED IN ORDER FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO BE OBTAINED. ALL PATIENTS WITH SELF-PAY BALANCES AFTER INSURANCE MAY OBTAIN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ADJUSTMENTS IF THEY PROVIDE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY SATISFY THE INCOME GUIDELINES. VERIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS PURSUED THROUGHOUT THE INTERNAL COLLECTION PROCESS UNTIL ALL OPTIONS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. ALL PATIENTS, THAT HAVE A SELF-PAY BALANCE, INCLUDING PATIENTS THAT MAY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, RECEIVE BILLING STATEMENTS AND PAYMENT REMINDERS. THESE STATEMENTS INFORM ALL PATIENTS OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ADJUSTMENT FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES, THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, AND THE METHOD TO APPLY. IF A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED AND/OR REQUESTED INCOME VERIFICATION HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED FROM A PATIENT WHO COULD POTENTIALLY QUALIFY, THE PATIENT WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE BILLING STATEMENTS THROUGH THE NORMAL COLLECTION PROCESS. IF A PATIENT DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE, A PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY DETERMINATION (WHICH USES PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA SUCH AS DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION, CREDIT HISTORY, ETC.) MAY BE MADE TO ASSIST WITH QUALIFYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AN ADJUSTMENT IS PROCESSED. THE PATIENT ACCOUNT ANALYST WILL DETERMINE PATIENT ELIGIBILITY AND CALCULATE THE ADJUSTMENT BASED ON POLICY GUIDELINES. AN ADJUSTMENT FORM IS PREPARED AND APPROVED PER POLICY. UNINSURED PATIENTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION AND PROVIDE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING ANY DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED IN WRITING WHETHER OR NOT THEY QUALIFY FOR ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ADJUSTMENT FOR WHICH THEY HAVE SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION, AND OF ANY REMAINING BALANCE OWED. THE ADJUSTMENT IS THEN APPLIED TO THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT.PATIENTS MAY BE OFFERED PAYMENT PLANS WHEN APPROPRIATE BASED ON DOCUMENTED FINANCIAL NEED AND CIRCUMSTANCES. LONGER PAYMENT PLANS MAY BE OFFERED ON AN EXCEPTION BASIS FOR CASES WITH UNUSUALLY HIGH BALANCES OR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES DEMONSTRATING AN INABILITY TO PAY. ONCE THE INTERNAL COLLECTION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, PATIENT ACCOUNTS MAY BE REFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY IF THE PATIENT HAS NOT CONTACTED US REGARDING THEIR DESIRE TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, SENT IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, RESPONDED TO REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, OR WE ARE UNABLE TO MAKE A PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY DETERMINATION. IT IS THE EXPECTATION OF THE EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCY AS THEY WORK ACCOUNTS TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHEN APPLICABLE.
