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

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.

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? NO

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.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF AFTER COLLECTION EFFORT HAS BEEN FOLLOWED IN ACCORDANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE PATIENT ACCOUNTS, AND SUBSEQUENT RECOVERIES ARE ADDED. PERIODICALLY, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES, TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA OF ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY. BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE CHARITY CARE, SUCH SERVICES ARE NOT REPORTED AS NET REVENUE. THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY UTILIZES THE GENERALLY RECOGNIZED FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME LEVELS. FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT APPLY OR DO NOT QUALIFY, THE UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS ARE RECOGNIZED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES AS DETERMINED BY HOSPITAL SPECIFIC DATA.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology BAD DEBT IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF JAY HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT. APPROXIMATELY 24.14% OF JAY HOSPITAL'S PATIENTS QUALIFY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COST, AND THE COSTING METHODOLOGY CONSISTED OF INFORMATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS CAUSING THE ORGANIZATION TO USE OTHER SURPLUS FUNDS TO COVER THE SHORTFALL. HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THIS SHORTFALL, WHICH RELIEVES THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR THE CARE OF MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance PATIENTS ARE DEEMED FINANCIALLY INDIGENT IF (A) THEY ARE UNINSURSED OR UNDERINSURED AND (B) THEIR INCOME IS BELOW 300% OF FPL (BASED UPON THE PATIENT'S HOUSEHOLD INCOME AS DEFINED ANNUALLY BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER AS THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL) GUIDELINES).
