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$ 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: 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 V, SECTION B, LINE 5 "FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A AND GROUP B: MAIN LINE HOSPITALS, INC. CONTRACTED WITH THE PUBLIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (PHMC) TO CONDUCT A JOINT CHNA FOR THE FY20-FY22 CHNA CYCLE, WHICH WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE 2022. THE JOINT CHNA INCLUDED FOUR ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS IN ADDITION TO PHYSICIANS CARE SURGICAL HOSPITAL: A JOINT VENTURE-(""ACUTE CHNA"") AND A CHNA FOR BRYN MAWR REHABILITATION HOSPITAL (""BMRH CHNA""), COMPLETED AND POSTED ONLINE IN JUNE 2019. PHMC HAS CONDUCTED NUMEROUS CHNAS FOR HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. PMHC ALSO WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE MAIN LINE HEALTH CENTER FOR POPULATION HEALTH RESEARCH (CPHR) WHEN DEVELOPING THE CHNAS. PHMC AND CPHR STAFF HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN SURVEY RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES. FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED IN AN EFFORT TO COVER A BROAD RANGE OF COMMINITY INTERESTS AND BACKGROUNDS. GROUPS SUCH AS PATIENTS, SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS, BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS, FAITH-BASED STAKEHOLDERS, REPRESENTATIVES FROM SOCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS AND MAIN LINE HEALTH PROVIDERS WERE REPRESENTED THROUGH THIS OUTREACH. IN ADDITION TO INFORMATION PROVIDED BY COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES, QUANTITATIVE DATA FROM THE US CENSUS, THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020, PENNSYLVANIA DEPARMENT OF HEALTH AND THE PHMC COMMUNITY HEALTH DATABASE WAS USED IN THE CHNA. THE PHMC COMMUNITY HEALTH DATABASE HAS SURVEY DATA (SEPA HOUSEHOLD HEALTH SURVEY) FROM APPROXIMATELY 7,500 HOUSEHOLDS IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA INCLUDING APPROXIMATELY 3,000 ADULT RESIDENTS IN THE MLH HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS."
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A AND GROUP B: A JOINT CHNA WAS COMPLETED FOR THE FOUR ACUTE HOSPITALS IN THE MAIN LINE HEALTH SYSTEM AND PHYSICIANS CARE SURGICAL HOSPITAL (A JOINT VENTURE). THIS JOINT CHNA INCLUDED THE MAIN LINE HOSPITALS, INC.-BRYN MAWR HOSPITAL (BMH), LANKENAU HOSPITAL (LH), AND PAOLI HOSPITAL (PH)-RIDDLE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (RH) AND PHYSICIANS CARE SURGICAL HOSPITAL (PCSH, A JOINT VENTURE). CONCURRENTLY, A CHNA WAS COMPLETED FOR THE BRYN MAWR REHABILITATION HOSPITAL (BMRH), THE REHABILITATION HOSPITAL WITHIN MAIN LINE HOSPITALS, INC. THE ACUTE HOSPITALS FOCUSED ON THE GENERAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE POPULATION WHILE BMRH FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT IMPACT THE NEED FOR REHAB SERVICES. THE SEPARATE IMPLEMENATION PLANS FOR THE ACUTE HOSPITALS AND BMRH HAS AN OVERLAPPING IDENTIFIED PRIORITY TOPIC FOR DIVERSITY, RESPECT, EQUITY AND INCLUSION.

PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A AND GROUP B: IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED FOR THE ACUTE AND BMRH CHNAS WERE DEVELOPED, AND THE PLAN WAS ADOPTED BY THE MLH BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN JUNE 2019. BETWEEN THE ACUTE AND BMRH CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, 70 INITIATIVES, ROLLING INTO 11 PRIORITIES (8 FOR ACUTE AND 3 FOR BMRH) WERE DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS 9 TOP AREAS OF NEED IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNAS (6 FOR ACUTE AND 3 FOR BMRH). THE INITIATIVES ADOPTED TO ADDRESS TOP IDENTIFIED AREAS OF NEED ARE DESCRIBED IN THE ACUTE AND BMRH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE AND PRESECRIPTION MEDICATIONS WAS IDENTIFIED AS AN OVERARCHING NEED IN THE MLH ACUTE HOSPITAL CHNA. MLH HOSPITALS INCLUDING BMRH HAVE A CHARITY CARE POLICY (HTTPS://WWW.MAINLINEHEALTH.ORG/ABOUT/POLICIES/CHARITY-CARE) AVAILABLE TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO NEED HELP PAYING FOR THEIR HOSPITAL CARE. MLH WORKS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HELP UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES ACCESS SERVICES THEY NEED. HOWEVER, MLH DOES NOT FEEL THAT AVAILABILITY OF LOW-COST HEALTH INSURANCE OR THE COST OF PRESCRIPTIONS IS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION'S PURVIEW TO ADDRESS. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE MLH HOSPITALS TO KEEP THEIR COSTS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE WHILE MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY CARE. SOCIAL ISOLATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS WAS ALSO IDENTIFIED AS A NEED IN THE ACUTE CHNA IN THE SEPA HOUSEHOLD HEALTH SURVEY. SIGNIFICANCE TESTING FOUND THAT THE TOTAL MLH COMMUNITY REPORTED THAT THEY WERE LIKELY TO TALK WITH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES LESS THAN ONCE PER WEEK; THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY POORER THAN THE REMAINDER OF THE SEPA COHORT. SOCIAL ISOLATION IS DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS. WHILE MLH DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY DIRECT INITIATIVES DURING DEVELOPMENT OF THE FY 2020 to FY 2022 CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CYCLE TO ADDRESS THIS SOCIAL ISSUE, ACTIVITES ARE IN PLACE AND IN DEVELOPMENT. MLH OPERATES A SENIOR CARE PHONE LINE AND MAY DIRECT CALLERS TO COMMUNITY SENIOR CENTERS AND OTHER ONLINE OR COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO INCREASE CONTACT FOR INDIVIDUALS INDICATING THEY ARE LONELY. MLH DEVELOPED A FRIENDLY VISITOR TELEPHONE PROGRAM TO REACH OUT TO PATIENTS WHO MAY BE EXPERIENCING LONELINESS OR SOCIAL ISOLATION. HOSPITAL VOLUNTEERS WERE RECRUITED TO SERVE AS FRIENDLY CALLERS TO PATIENTS WHO REQUESTED CONTACT FROM THE FRIENDLY VISITOR TELEPHONE PROGRAM. INFORMATION ON THE PROGRAM WAS SHARED WITH PHYSICIAN PRACTICES TO INVITE PATIENTS TO CONSIDER PARTICIPATION. MAIN LINE HEALTH COMMUNITY HEALTH AND EQUITY HAS OFFERED PROGRAMS ONLINE TO ENABLE ACCESS FOR PATIENTS. ACCORDING TO THE BMRH CHNA, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS CITED TRANSPORTATION AS A CHALLENGE IN THE REHAB COMMUNITY. IN THE PRIOR CHNA CYCLE, BMRH PURSUED PUBLIC TRANPORTATION AS A PRIORITY. DESPITE BEST EFFORTS TO PROVIDE REGULAR BUS SERVICE TO THE BMRH CAMPUS BY COORDINATING WITH SEPTA AND CHESTER COUNTY OFFICIALS, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES ARE LIMITED. MLH HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH LYFT TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS TO PATIENTS IN NEED. MLH HAS NO NEW INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS TRANSPORTATION ISSUES.

SINCE THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO QUALIFY, FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE A FULL WRITE-OFF. BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION ONLY PROVIDES FULL CHARITY CARE, AND DOES NOT BILL PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE, PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER ITS FAP WILL NOT BE CHARGED. THEREFORE, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT CALCULATE AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED.

THE HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO PROVIDE QUALITY HEALTHCARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THIS SHORTFALL, AND IN DOING SO, RELIEVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR THIS PATIENT POPULATION.
PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO SERVICE ARE NOT BILLED FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. FOR OTHER ACCOUNTS, IF A PATIENT INDICATES A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AT ANY POINT DURING COLLECTION, THE PATIENT IS REFERRED TO THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AREA FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
