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

        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 agencyYES
    • 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?NO

    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

      SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ARE CLINICAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS DESPITE A FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COSTS THE HOSPITAL INCURS TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC SERVICE AND THE AMOUNT THE HOSPITAL RECEIVES AS PAYMENT FOR THAT SERVICE, DEFINE SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. FURTHERMORE, THEY ARE THOSE CLINICAL SERVICES THAT: IF THE HOSPITAL WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE, WOULD RESULT IN NOT MEETING COMMUNITY NEEDS. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT PATIENTS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR SERVICES WHICH WOULD THEN BECOME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENT OR OF OTHER TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPUTE CHARITY CARE BY AGGREGATING GROSS CHARGES AND ALL DEDUCTIONS FROM REVENUE, WHILE THE SCHEDULE H COMPUTATIONS IN PARTS I AND III ARE CALCULATED USING A COST TO CHARGE APPROACH. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE FOLLOWS:CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFITIN THE FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CHARITY CARE AND OTHER BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A DISCOUNT OR WAIVER OF THE COST OF SERVICES FOR UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO PAY. BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING CHARITY CARE, THE HOSPITAL PAYS FOR THE COSTS OF MANY PUBLIC PROGRAMS, INCLUDING UNPAID MEDICARE AND AHCCCS COSTS AND DELIVERY OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE HEALTH EDUCATION, DIAGNOSTIC SCREENINGS, COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT SURVEYS AND MOBILE SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL ESTIMATES CHARITY CARE COSTS BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO, WHICH INCLUDES BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS. TRADITIONALLY CHARITY CARE IS ESTIMATED BASED ON THE AVERAGE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED FOR WHICH CHARGES ARE WRITTEN OFF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY.
