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.

        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?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

      TREATMENT OF MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT: 100% OF THE COST OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MEDICARE IS A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF EISENHOWER HEALTH'S PATIENT POPULATION. WHILE THE LEVEL OF CARE IS REGARDLESS OF SOURCE OF PAYOR, THE LEVEL OF PAYMENT FOR MEDICARE IS DETERMINED BY GOVERNMENT REIMBURSEMET POLICY. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS AN UNREIMBURSED AMOUNT THAT MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE EISENHOWER HEALTH'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SINCE GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS IDENTIFY THIS SHORTFALL, IT SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS A SHORTFALL IN IRS REPORTING STANDARDS. MEDICARE COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY FOR THE AMOUNT REQUIRED ON LINE 6 IS THE ALLOWABLE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO PER THE COST REPORT.
      Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance
      FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR PARTIAL CHARITY CARE AND WHO ARE COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THEIR DISCONTINUED BILLS, EISENHOWER HEALTH MAY OFFER EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS, WILL NOT SEND UNPAID BILLS TO OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCIES, AND WILL CEASE ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS. EISENHOWER HEALTH WILL NOT IMPOSE EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS SUCH AS WAGE GARNISHMENTS, LIENS ON PRIMARY RESIDENCES OR OTHER LEGAL ACTIONS FOR ANY PATIENTS WITHOUT FIRST MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
