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$ 5,391,521 1.95 %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? NO 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, LINE 13B IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE FH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY FROEDTERT MENOMONEE FALLS HOSPITAL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REVIEW EACH APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON ITS OWN MERITS AND TO CONSIDER OTHER EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE DECISION TO APPROVE OR DENY A PATIENT'S APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE APPLICANT'S GROSS FAMILY INCOME WILL BE DETERMINED USING MODIFIED ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME (MAGI). MODIFIED ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME INCLUDES BOTH EARNED INCOME AND PASSIVE INCOME RECEIVED AND COMPARED TO THE ANNUAL FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. A PATIENT WHO HAS AN ANNUAL GROSS INCOME EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 400% OF THE CURRENT YEAR'S POVERTY GUIDELINES WILL NOT PAY MORE THAN 15% OF THEIR ANNUAL GROSS INCOME ON ANY SINGLE ACCOUNT DURING THE APPROVED ELIGIBILITY TIMEFRAME. PATIENTS WHO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AND HAVE A GROSS INCOME EQUAL OR LESS THAN 250% OF THE FPL MAY QUALIFY FOR A 100% DISCOUNT.

Supplemental Information
Schedule H (Form 990) Part VI
PART III, LINE 2: THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION, AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND TRENDS. THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES IS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT IS REPORTED ON LINE 2. DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE RECORDED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO REVENUE, NOT BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 3: THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ALLOWS FOR ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT TO BE APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF THE PATIENT MEETS THE CRITERIA. THERE ARE POSSIBLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ACCOUNTS IN BAD DEBT, ALTHOUGH THE EXACT PERCENTAGE IS UNKNOWN AS WE DO NOT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS TO DETERMINE THIS PERCENTAGE ACCURATELY.
PART III, LINE 4: PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, FROEDTERT HEALTH, INC.(FH)ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD PARTY COVERAGE, FH ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), FROEDTERT HEALTH, INC. RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FH RECOGNIZES PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD PARTY PAYOR COVERAGE ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACTUAL RATES FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, FROEDTERT HEALTH, INC. RECOGNIZES REVENUE ON THE BASIS OF ITS STANDARD RATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED (OR ON THE BASIS OF DISCOUNTED RATES, IF NEGOTIATED OR PROVIDED BY POLICY). ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF FH'S UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, FH RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. SEE ALSO PAGE 29-31 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8: FMFH BELIEVES THAT ALL OF THE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE REGARDLESS OF THIS SHORTFALL AND THEREBY RELIEVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES.THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS IS BASED ON A CALCULATION DEVELOPED BY THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION IN WHICH THE DATA IS DERIVED FROM THE ANNUAL FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT.
PART III, LINE 9B: IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE FH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY REGARDING THE BILLING, COLLECTION AND SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WITH PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, FMFH MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO ADHERE TO THE POLICY AND IS COMMITTED TO IMPLEMENTING AND APPLYING THE POLICIES FOR ASSISTING THOSE PATIENTS WHO MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN A PROFESSIONAL AND CONSISTENT MANNER. STAFF MEMBERS WHO WORK CLOSELY WITH PATIENTS SUCH AS PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF, AS WELL AS THOSE INVOLVED IN BILLING AND COLLECTIONS ARE TRAINED ABOUT THESE POLICIES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TREATING ALL PATIENTS WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT REGARDLESS OF THEIR INSURANCE OR THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES. OTHER STAFF WHO MAY HAVE INTERACTIONS WITH PATIENTS, SUCH AS ADMITTING STAFF ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE POLICY, AND ABLE TO PROVIDE PATIENTS A COPY OF AN APPLICATION UPON REQUEST AND ALSO ARE COMMITTED TO TREATING PATIENTS WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT REGARDLESS OF THEIR INSURANCE OR THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES.
