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
        $ 734,527
        2.83 %
        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

        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 agencyNot 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?NO

    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

PARTICIPATED ON THE ASCENSION THRIVE TEAM, WHICH LOOKED AT WAYS TO UNDERSTAND BARRIERS AND IMPROVE HOW THE ORGANIZATION COMMUNICATES OFFERINGS TO ASSOCIATES. LISTENING SESSIONS WITH ASSOCIATES WERE HELD IN SEPTEMBER 2021 TO UNDERSTAND BETTER THEIR AWARENESS OF CURRENT BENEFIT PROGRAMS, COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES, AND UNIQUE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES. TARGETED COMMUNICATIONS DESIGNED TO RECRUIT LISTENING SESSION PARTICIPANTS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO A SMALL NUMBER OF ASSOCIATES WITHIN THE MARKET. INFORMATION GATHERED DURING LISTENING SESSIONS IS BEING USED TO INFORM STRATEGIES FOR DESIGNING, COMMUNICATING, AND DEPLOYING CURRENT AND FUTURE BENEFIT PROGRAMS. TAX YEAR 2021 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IN ST. JOHN SAPULPA'S MOST RECENT CHNA, THE FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR CREEK COUNTY: - MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - ACCESS TO CARE: BARRIERS TO PRIMARY CARE - DIET AND EXERCISE: ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD - ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE: ACCESS TO TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SERVICES - COVID-19 - HOUSING AND TRANSIT: RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION - EDUCATION: HEALTH LITERACY ROUNDING DISCUSSIONS WITH MARKET AND HOSPITAL LEADERS, AS WELL AS OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS, FURTHER DELINEATED COMMON THEMES AMONG THE SETS OF NEEDS. ACCORDINGLY, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A MARKETWIDE APPROACH TO ADDRESS TOGETHER THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE MOST EFFECTIVE AND IMPACTFUL. HEALTH EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE ARE INTENTIONAL AND UNIVERSAL THEMES WITHIN THE CHNA PROCESS. OUR COMMITMENT TO ADDRESSING HEALTH NEEDS FLOWS FROM A CHARITABLE MISSION TO PROVIDE ALL PERSONS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS AND HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS - BOTH INSIDE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC WALLS AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. THAT MEANS WORKING CLOSELY WITH EACH COMMUNITY WE SERVE, PARTNERING WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO EXAMINE DRIVERS OF HEALTH THROUGH A LENS OF COMPASSION AND SOLIDARITY. ACCORDINGLY, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT HEALTH EQUITY AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SHOULD BE UNDERLYING CURRENTS OF ALL STRATEGIES AND TACTICS TO ADDRESS NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, IT IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THAT PROFOUND DISPARITIES EMERGED FROM OR WERE EXACERBATED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE COMMUNITY. THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS THAT WERE PRIORITIZED BY THE HOSPITAL TO ADDRESS THROUGH THE THREE-YEAR CHNA IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ARE: ACCESS TO CARE, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, FOOD SECURITY, AND ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE.
      Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 4
      Facility , 4 - St. John Sapulpa - 4. NEEDS THAT WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED DIRECTLY: ST. JOHN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. AND THE HOSPITAL ARE COMMITTED TO IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH BY ADDRESSING PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS. THE TAX YEAR 2021 CHNA INEVITABLY IDENTIFIED MORE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS THAN THE HEALTH SYSTEM, HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS CAN OR SHOULD ADDRESS AS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS. IT WOULD NOT BE PRUDENT TO SPREAD HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES ACROSS TOO MANY INITIATIVES. ACCORDINGLY, ST. JOHN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. AND THE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS INSTEAD DECIDED TO FOCUS ATTENTION ON PRIORITY AREAS TO HELP ENSURE SUFFICIENT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE. IT WAS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH THAT THESE REMAINING HEALTH TOPICS, WHILE NOT CHOSEN AS PRIORITIES, ARE INTERRELATED TO THE FOUR CHOSEN PRIORITIES AND WILL THEREFORE BE ADDRESSED INDIRECTLY. FURTHERMORE, AND AS AFOREMENTIONED, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH WERE DEEMED AN UNDERLYING CURRENT OF THE CHOSEN PRIORITIES, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY CROSS OVER EFFORTS INTO OTHER NEED AREAS. ALL DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH ARE INTENDED TO UPHOLD THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND HOSPITAL'S MISSION TO SERVE ALL PEOPLE, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO ARE POOR AND VULNERABLE. BASED ON THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA, THE HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA THAT ST. JOHN SAPULPA DOES NOT PLAN TO ADDRESS AT THIS TIME INCLUDE: - COVID-19: THIS NEED WAS NOT SELECTED BECAUSE IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN UNDERLYING CURRENT OF ALL STRATEGIES AND TACTICS TO ADDRESS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS. - RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION: THIS NEED WAS NOT SELECTED AS AN INDIVIDUAL NEED ON ITS OWN BECAUSE IT IS ENCOMPASSED WITHIN ACCESS TO CARE. - HEALTH LITERACY: THIS NEED WAS NOT SELECTED BECAUSE IT DID NOT RANK AS HIGH AS OTHER NEEDS. IN ADDITION, STAFF CAPACITY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED, WHICH WOULD BE A MAJOR BARRIER TO HEALTH LITERACY STRATEGIES. ADDITIONAL FACTORS IMPACT THE HOSPITAL'S ABILITY TO FULLY ADDRESS ALL PRIORITY NEEDS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: - NEED BEING ADDRESSED BY OTHERS - INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES (FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL) TO ADDRESS THE NEED - ISSUE IS NOT A PRIORITY FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THEREFORE APPROACH IS UNLIKELY TO SUCCEED - LACK OF EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH FOR ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM - NEED IS NOT AS PRESSING AS OTHER PROBLEMS - NEED IS NOT AS LIKELY TO BE RESOLVED AS OTHER PROBLEMS - HOSPITAL AND/OR HEALTH SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE EXPERTISE TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE NEED WHILE COVID-19, RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION, AND HEALTH LITERACY ARE NOT THE FOCUS OF THIS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, ST. JOHN SAPULPA MAY CONSIDER INVESTING RESOURCES IN THESE AREAS AS APPROPRIATE, DEPENDING ON OPPORTUNITIES TO LEVERAGE ORGANIZATIONAL AND COMMUNITY ASSETS. THESE ISSUES DESERVE FURTHER ATTENTION AND STUDY BY HEALTH SYSTEMS, AS THEY REFLECT IMPORTANT FACTORS ADVERSELY AFFECTING CREEK COUNTY. ALSO, THIS REPORT DOES NOT ENCOMPASS A COMPLETE INVENTORY OF EVERYTHING ST. JOHN SAPULPA DOES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL COMMUNITY NEEDS AND IS COMMITTED TO PLAYING AN ACTIVE ROLE IN ADDRESSING THEM. TO ADDRESS THE PRIORITIZED NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2021 CHNA, A SUBSEQUENT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR EACH ST. JOHN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. FACILITY WAS ADOPTED. DUE TO THE TIMING OF THE RECENTLY ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, IMPACT WILL BE REPORTED STARTING NEXT YEAR.

ASCENSION HEALTH AND ITS RELATED HEALTH MINISTRIES FOLLOW THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION (CHA) GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING COMMUNITY BENEFIT. CHA COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING GUIDELINES SUGGEST THAT A MEDICARE SHORTFALL (LOSS) IS NOT TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, EVEN THOUGH THE HOSPITAL HAS INCURRED LOSSES IN PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. THEREFORE, NONE OF THE AMOUNT ON LINE 7 IS TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
      Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance
      ST. JOHN SAPULPA, INC. FOLLOWS THE ASCENSION GUIDELINES FOR COLLECTION PRACTICES RELATED TO PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
