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 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.

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.

ACCORDING TO INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH (NIMH), IN 2019, THERE WERE AN ESTIMATED 51.5 MILLION ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES WITH A FORM OF MENTAL ILLNESS. THIS NUMBER HAS INCREASED FROM 19% OF ALL U.S. ADULTS IN 2017, TO 20.6% IN 2019. (TRANSFORMING THE UNDERSTANDING AND TREATMENT OF MENTAL ILLNESS, 2020). THE HIGH STIGMA AND CULTURAL ATTITUDES ABOUT BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON WHETHER INDIVIDUALS SEEK HELP AND FOLLOW CARE PLANS IN A POPULATION WHERE THE SYMPTOMS ARE SEVERE, RECURRENT, AND FREQUENTLY CO-CONCURRENT WITH THE GROWING EPIDEMIC OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE. THE SHORTAGE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, FACILITIES, AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES NATIONWIDE MAKE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENT CARE A KEY SOCIETAL STRESSOR, AS IT NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE INDIVIDUAL BUT ALSO THE FAMILY UNIT AND THE COMMUNITY-AT-LARGE.

THE PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION DAY PROGRAM (PHP) IS A DAILY STRUCTURED PROGRAM OF PERSONALIZED GROUP THERAPY THAT CAN SERVE AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO INPATIENT HOSPITALIZATION OR AS A TRANSITION FROM THE HOSPITAL TO A COMMUNITY SETTING WHILE THE PATIENT CONTINUES TO LIVE AT HOME. THIS TREATMENT OPTION IS DESIGNED FOR THOSE WITHOUT ACUTE SYMPTOMS NECESSITATING INPATIENT ADMISSION. THE INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT (""IOP"") PROGRAM PROVIDES A STEP-DOWN TO A PART-TIME INTENSIVE SCHEDULE THAT INCLUDES INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP THERAPY DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE PROFESSIONAL DUTIES OUTSIDE OF THE TREATMENT ENVIRONMENT, SUCH AS SCHOOL, WORK, OR FAMILY LIFE. GROUPS ARE SMALL AND GENERALLY DO NOT EXCEED 10 PEOPLE, ALLOWING FOR SUPPORTIVE TREATMENT IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
