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$ 239,888,450 14.66 %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? 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
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

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility A, 1 Facility A, 1 - Methodist Mansfield Medical Center and Methodist Southlake Medical Center. In addition to analyzing quantitative data, a focus group and key informant interviews, were conducted June 2021 through February 2022 to take into account the input of persons representing the broad interests of the community served; Interviews and surveys were conducted with key informants-leaders and representatives who serve the community and have insight into its needs; and prioritization sessions were held with hospital clinical leadership and community leaders to review collection results and identify the most significant healthcare needs based on information gleaned from the focus group and key informants. While the focus group helped identify barriers and social factors influencing the community's health needs, key informant interviews provided even more understanding and insight about the general health status of the community and the various drivers that contributed to health issues. The assessment is available for public comment or feedback on the report findings. Written input received on the most recently conducted CHNA and subsequent implementation strategies was reviewed and considered in the report development. Multiple governmental public health department individuals were asked to contribute their knowledge, information, and expertise relevant to the health needs of the community. Individuals or organizations that served and/or represented the interests of medically underserved, low-income and minority populations in the community also took part in the process. In some cases public health officials were unavailable due to obligations concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. A list of the organizations providing input includes: Brittain Kalish Group Project Access; Baylor Scott White Health; Fort Worth Housing Solutions; Meals on Wheels; Medstar; Methodist Mansfield Advisory Board; One Safe Place; Project Access Tarrant County; Tarrant Area Food Bank; Tarrant County Public Health; United Way of Tarrant County.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility A, 1 Facility A, 1 - Methodist Mansfield Medical Center. The 2021 tax year represents the final year of the implementation strategy adopted as part of the 2019 CHNA. Through the prioritization process, the following five significant needs were selected to be addressed via the Methodist Mansfield 2019 CHNA implementation strategy: atrial fibrillation; obesity; diabetes; opioid addiction; cancer. The 2019 CHNA covers fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 during which the following accomplishments were made to address the 2019 CHNA priority needs: -Over the past 2 years, many of the implementation strategy efforts were impeded as the facility reprioritized projects in response to the pandemic. Although many of the plans were halted, several of the initiatives have re-gained some momentum through virtual offerings. --Atrial Fibrillation: In a continued effort to increase awareness of A-Fib with added treatment services and outreach, Methodist Mansfield enhanced existing A-Fib programs and services, increasing cryo-ablation and EP procedures. In addition, Methodist Mansfield worked to increase awareness through education seminars and training on A-Fib signs and symptoms. -Obesity and Diabetes: Methodist Mansfield worked to increase awareness of obesity prevention and treatment by reaching individuals and school nurses with educational presentations, and sponsoring the Run with Heart event as well as other sponsored runs. To help increase awareness of diabetes prevention, Methodist Mansfield reached individuals with education and funding for the Mansfield Mission Center Wellness Clinic. -Opioid addiction: Regarding opioid addiction prevention and treatment, Methodist Mansfield completed staff education on street and prescription drugs and established a drug disposal program for the convenient disposal of expired or no longer needed drugs through their pharmacy. -Cancer: Through the sponsorship of the Prettier in Pink event and other community education and awareness events, Methodist Mansfield reached participants with information about cancer prevention and the importance of early detection. In addition, the facility opened a comprehensive women's imaging center providing additional services to the community. The following identified significant needs are not being addressed through the implementation strategy: mental health (e.g.: providers, Alzheimer's disease/dementia; depression; schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders; intentional self-harm; suicide); access to care (e.g.: transportation; primary care providers); social determinants of health (e.g.: civilian veteran population; social isolation); maternal and child health (e.g.: first trimester entry into prenatal care); preventable hospitalizations (e.g.: perforated appendix admissions); injury and death - children (e.g.: infant mortality); environment (e.g.: food insecurity). These other significant health needs were not chosen to be addressed for a combination of the following reasons: the need was not well-aligned with organizational strengths; there are not enough existing organizational resources to adequately address the need; and implementation efforts would not impact as many community residents (magnitude) as those that were chosen.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility A, 2 Facility A, 2 - Methodist Southlake Medical Center. Due to the previous ownership structure, Methodist Southlake was not required to complete a CHNA in 2019. As a result of a change in ownership structure, the facility completed its 2022 CHNA to meet its requirement in July 2022 which will cover tax years 2022, 2023, and 2024. Through the prioritization process, the following six significant needs were identified for the health community: access to mental health resources, diabetes management, access to primary care provider/services; increasing health needs of aging community; cancer incidence, and many non-English speakers. Of those, Methodist Southlake will address access to mental health services, access to primary care providers/services, increasing needs of an aging community and many non-English speakers. The remaining needs are being addressed by Methodist Mansfield as part of their joint implementation strategy. The following programs/activities are how the hospital facility planned to address the selected significant needs in its most recently conducted CHNA. -Access to mental health resources: Provide placement assistance for suicidal patients -Access to primary care provider/services: Add primary care physicians and locations in the community to provide additional resources -Increasing needs of an aging community: Provide depression screenings for all senior patients at Methodist Family Health Centers in the service area; and provide cardiology medical services and community education resources about cardiovascular disease symptoms, treatment and mitigating risk factors -Many non-English speakers: Provide translation services for patients and families 24/7 either in person or via electronic means.

The 2019 CHNA covers fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 during which the following accomplishments were made to address the 2019 CHNA priority needs: -Over the past 2 years, many of the implementation strategy efforts were impeded as the facility reprioritized projects in response to the pandemic. Although many of the plans were halted, several of the initiatives have re-gained some momentum through virtual offerings. -Hypertension / Diabetes / Stroke: Methodist Dallas conducted monthly support groups, attended by physician guest speakers, to provide a forum for patients to connect with each other. Meetings were also held virtually to increase accessibility. Varied topics were discussed, including heart disease, diabetes and stroke prevention. -HIV: Added HIV specialists; work with PCPs to communicate the importance of HIV testing; Support HIV advocacy groups with sponsorships and engage people at events by bringing team members from infectious disease and pharmacy. The following identified significant needs are not being addressed by any of the three facilities through the joint implementation strategy: mental health (e.g.: providers, frequent mental distress; intentional self-harm; suicide); environment (e.g.: food insecurity; housing); social determinants of health (e.g.: poverty (adults and children); language barriers); access to care (e.g.: uninsured adults and children; transportation); injury and death - children (e.g.: infant and child mortality); health behaviors - substance abuse (e.g.: drug overdose deaths - opioids; drug poisoning deaths; motor vehicle driving deaths with alcohol involvement); preventable hospitalizations (e.g.: adult and pediatric perforated appendix admissions).

Additionally, Methodist Charlton held monthly heart health and diabetes workshops throughout the year. Two versions of the Methodist Health System newsletter, Shine and Shine Online, ran articles about hypertension, stroke, and diabetes; and additional viewers were reached through social media outreach in the Methodist Charlton service area. The CardioMEMS program at Methodist Charlton has had steady growth over the past three years. The growth was facilitated when Medicare expanded their coverage criteria in 2020, which allowed for more Medicare patients to become eligible for CardioMEMS implantation. HIV is one of the other needs selected by the three facilities in the joint CHNA. However, HIV is being addressed by Methodist Dallas Medical Center in the three facilities' joint implementation strategy and not by Methodist Charlton. The following identified significant needs are not being addressed by any of the three facilities through the joint implementation strategy: Mental health (e.g.: providers, frequent mental distress; intentional self-harm; suicide); environment (e.g.: food insecurity; housing); social determinants of health (e.g.: poverty (adults and children); language barriers); access to care (e.g.: uninsured adults and children; transportation); injury and death - children (e.g.: infant and child mortality); health behaviors - substance abuse (e.g.: drug overdose deaths - opioids; drug poisoning deaths; motor vehicle driving deaths with alcohol involvement); preventable hospitalizations (e.g.: adult and pediatric perforated appendix admissions).

In addition, Methodist Richardson provides stroke support group information in discharge packets to reach patients with important follow-up support. The facility also implemented the Next Steps program in 2021 which includes follow-up calls by OP therapy staff to encourage continued therapy if needed. -Cancer: With the goal of increasing awareness of cancer prevention and treatment, Methodist Richardson obtained COC re-accreditation and reached patients with educational information and treatment. In addition, the facility also expanded existing research trials to include liver patients, increasing the access to important cancer treatment research. The following identified significant needs are not being addressed through the implementation strategy: Health behaviors (e.g.: adolescent behavioral health); social determinants of health (e.g.: language barriers (non-English speaking households); poverty (adults/children); social isolation; mental health (e.g.: schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders; depression); environment (e.g.: food insecurity; housing; renter-occupied housing; homicides; violent crime offenses); health behaviors - substance abuse e.g.: drug overdose deaths - opioids; drug poisoning death rate; motor vehicle driving deaths with alcohol involvement); injury and death - children (e.g.: child mortality; infant mortality); preventable hospitalizations (e.g.: adult and pediatric perforated appendix admission). These other significant health needs were not chosen to be addressed for a combination of the following reasons: the need was not well-aligned with organizational strengths; there are not enough existing organizational resources to adequately address the need; and implementation efforts would not impact as many community residents (magnitude) as those that were chosen.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility E, 1 Facility E, 1 - Methodist McKinney Hospital. The 2021 tax year represents the final year of the implementation strategy adopted as part of the 2019 CHNA. Through the prioritization process, the following two significant needs were selected to be addressed via the Methodist McKinney Hospital 2019 CHNA implementation strategy: access to care (primary care and cost); and coordination of services/care. The 2019 CHNA covers fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 during which the following accomplishments were made to address the 2019 CHNA priority needs: -Over the past 2 years, many of the implementation strategy efforts were impeded as the facility reprioritized projects in response to the pandemic. Although many of the plans were halted, several of the initiatives have re-gained some momentum through virtual offerings. -Access to care (primary care and cost): In an effort to impact the community health need of primary care and cost, Methodist McKinney Hospital recruited two additional physicians to expand services at West McKinney Health Wellness. Also, as a result of COVID-19, Methodist McKinney added a Virtual Joint Class participation option for patients in addition to the already existing live Joint Class and video options. Methodist McKinney also expanded physical therapy services through the addition of six new physical therapy clinics. Methodist McKinney also began offering nursing and scrub tech residency programs for Collin College new graduates as well as began a partnership with the College to have the nursing students do clinical rounds at the hospital. -Coordination of services/care: Methodist McKinney implemented RecoveryCOACH, a patient portal providing pre and post op education for a successful joint replacement journey. The Joint Replacement Program also now features a Nurse Navigator who guides these patients thru their episode of care. The following identified significant needs are not being addressed through the implementation strategy: health behaviors - substance abuse (e.g.: motor vehicle accidents with alcohol involved); preventable hospitalizations (e.g.: adult and pediatric perforated Appendix admissions); social determinants of health (e.g.: social isolation); cancer (e.g.: cancer incidence - breast); mental health (e.g.: providers, intentional self-harm; suicide). These other significant health needs were not chosen to be addressed for a combination of the following reasons: the need was not well-aligned with organizational strengths; there are not enough existing organizational resources to adequately address the need; and implementation efforts would not impact as many community residents (magnitude) as those that were chosen.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment Methodist has relied upon the knowledge and interest of its directors and trustees to determine the effectiveness of its community benefit planning. The corporate Board of Directors consists of civic, business, and professional leaders from the communities served by the hospital system. In these exchanges with the communities served, Methodist is able to solicit their views on how we can better serve the needs of all. In addition, individual hospital advisory boards, created in 2009 at the request of the Methodist Health System Board of Directors, provides a way to strengthen our communication and influence with a diverse group of leaders in our service area. Along with representatives from Methodist's Board, these advisory boards consist of business owners, city and government officials, community and church leaders. Members have an opportunity to play an integral role in the future of our growth plans and health initiatives.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information The Methodist service area is made up of the combined service areas of each of its six wholly-controlled hospitals, encompassing parts of Dallas County, the southeast quadrant of Tarrant County and northern Johnson County to the west and south of DFW; northern Ellis County to the southeast; and the southwest section of Collin County to the north. Parts of the service area, particularly in southern Dallas County, near Methodist Dallas and Methodist Charlton facilities, there are high percentages of households in poverty, low average household income, and high percentages of adults with less than high school education. Consequently, Methodist provides large amounts of uncompensated care. During the past year, conditions in Methodist's service area have not changed and Methodist continues to play a vital role in the community, particularly in caring for indigent patients. The far southern portions of the Methodist service area as well as the areas to the north, near Methodist Mansfield and Methodist Richardson, tend to be more economically stable with stronger socioeconomic indicators. These areas include Midlothian, Cedar Hill, Mansfield, Richardson and Plano.
