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$ 75,689,635 2.83 %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 I, LINE 7: THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 7A, 7B, AND 7C WERE CALCULATED USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2. THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 7E, 7F, 7H AND 7I ARE A COMBINATION OF ACTUAL VENDOR COSTS AND/OR ESTIMATED COSTS, PLUS AN ALLOCATION OF INDIRECT OVERHEAD WHERE APPLICABLE. ESTIMATED COSTS FOR LABOR USE STAFF HOURLY RATES TIMES HOURS WORKED, PLUS A FACTOR FOR BENEFITS. COSTS ALLOCATED FROM THE HOME OFFICE ARE BASED ON USE BY CAMPUS.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F): IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS ARE RECORDED BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE AND COLLECTION TRENDS FOR MAJOR PAYER TYPES. THESE ARE AMOUNTS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT OR A GUARANTOR IS RESPONSIBLE AND NO OTHER THIRD-PARTY LIABILITY EXISTS. A MINIMUM OF TWO STATEMENTS WILL BE SENT TO THE PATIENT OR GUARANTOR NOTIFYING THEM THAT THE BALANCE IS DUE. AFTER REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND THE LIABILITY REMAINS OUTSTANDING FOR MORE THAN 120 DAYS FROM THE MAILING DATE OF THE FIRST BILL, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE REFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. AT THAT TIME THE ACCOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF TO IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS. THE UNPAID PATIENT PORTION OF MEDICARE ACCOUNTS WILL NOT BE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE AND SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY UNTIL A MINIMUM OF 120 DAYS HAVE PASSED FROM THE DATE OF THE FIRST BILL MAILED TO THE BENEFICIARY. THE PATIENT PORTION OF A MEDICARE ACCOUNT WILL THEN BE SENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY BUT WILL NOT BE WRITTEN OFF TO IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS UNTIL IT IS RETURNED FROM THE COLLECTION AGENCY AFTER A DETERMINATION THAT THERE IS NO LIKELIHOOD OF RECOVERY. UNRESOLVED ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED TO THE FACILITY BY THE COLLECTION AGENCIES AFTER THEY HAVE PERFORMED ALL REASONABLE AND CUSTOMARY COLLECTIONS EFFORTS AND DETERMINED THAT THERE IS NO LIKELIHOOD OF RECOVERY.PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED FOR SERVICES UNDER THE MEDICARE AND MEDI-CAL PROGRAMS AND PRIVATE MANAGED CARE PROGRAMS BASED ON CONTRACT TERMS, AND FROM OTHER PAYERS.

PART III, LINE 2: BAD DEBT (ALSO REFERRED TO AS IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS) IS DETERMINED BASED ON PATIENT LIABILITY, IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY PREVIOUS PAYMENTS OR DISCOUNTS ON THE ACCOUNT. FOR ACCOUNTS WITH INSURANCE COVERAGE, ONCE THE INSURANCE HAS PAID, A STATEMENT IS SENT TO THE PATIENT FOR THEIR PORTION (DEDUCTIBLE, CO-PAY, NON-COVERED CHARGES). FOR SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS, SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR DISCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE. AFTER A SET PERIOD OF TIME, IF PAYMENTS ARE NOT MADE, THE PATIENT PORTION IS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT.
PART III, LINE 4: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS.

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, A SIGNIFICANT IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION IS RECORDED IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE.
