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$ 3,592,984 0.86 %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

Supplemental Information
PART I, LINE 6A: TRINITY MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE IOWA HEALTH SYSTEM COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH CAN BE LOCATED AT WWW.UNITYPOINT.ORG. THIS SYSTEM-WIDE REPORT IS COMPLETED IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT FOR THE HOSPITAL AND ITS REGIONAL AFFILIATES.
PART I, LINE 7: A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO (FROM WORKSHEET 2) IS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS ON LINE 7A. THE AMOUNTS ON LINES 7B-7C (UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS) ARE OBTAINED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE SEGMENT SPECIFIC COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. THE AMOUNTS FOR LINES 7E, F, H, AND I WOULD COME FROM THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF SPECIFIC SEGMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ARE BASED ON COST. THE AMOUNTS ON 7G ARE DERIVED FROM A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM OF APPLICABLE PATIENT SEGMENTS. SEGMENTS NOT PASSED TO A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM USE THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ -550.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ARE ESSENTIAL ROLES FOR HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS IN THAT THEY ADDRESS MANY OF THE UNDERLYING DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. RESEARCH HAS CONTINUALLY SHOWN THAT WHEN THE FACTORS INFLUENCING HEALTH ARE EXPLORED, HEALTH CARE ACTUALLY PLAYS THE SMALLEST ROLE PROPORTIONATELY. A REPORT IN THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL (MCGINNIS, 1996) SUGGESTS THAT THE FACTORS IMPACTING HEALTH ARE AS FOLLOWS: LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIORS, 50%, ENVIRONMENT (HUMAN AND NATURAL), 20%, GENETICS AND HUMAN BIOLOGY, 20%, AND HEALTH CARE, 10%. COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES HELP TO ADDRESS THE OTHER INDICATORS OUTSIDE OF THE ROLE TRADITIONALLY PLAYED BY HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY DONE IN SOME FORM OF PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ARE BETTER SUITED TO ADDRESS. HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS GENERALLY PROVIDE TIMELY AND SPECIFIC RESOURCES TO HELP THESE ISSUES. HEALTH-CARE ORGANIZATIONS CAN BE A RICH AND VALUABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCE IN WAYS NOT TYPICALLY CONSIDERED. OFTEN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP IMPACT AND IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS IS TO SUPPORT OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS OUTSIDE OF HEALTH SERVICES. THIS IS OFTEN DONE THROUGH CASH OR IN-KIND SERVICES TO SUPPORT OTHER NON-PROFITS, DONATIONS OF DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES TO CERTAIN AGENCIES, OR THROUGH LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERTISE. TRINITY MEDICAL CENTER CONTRIBUTES FINANCIALLY TO A WIDE VARIETY OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADDRESS THE BROADER NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THESE DONATIONS ALLOW OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO FULFILL THEIR MISSIONS TO IMPROVE THE WELL BEING OF THE COMMUNITY AND CONTRIBUTE TO ITS OVERALL HEALTH STATUS IN WAYS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THE DIRECT SERVICES OF THE HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION AND MAXIMIZE THE RESOURCES THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH. TRINITY MEDICAL CENTER EMPLOYEES ARE ACTIVE IN EDUCATING PARTNERS ON A WIDE VARIETY OF HEALTH SUBJECTS THAT ADVANCE THEIR WORK. FURTHER, TRINITY MEDICAL CENTER EMPLOYEES ARE MEMBERS OF MANY NON-PROFIT BOARDS TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP OR COLLABORATE TO ADDRESS COMPLEX HEALTH ISSUES. THESE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES SPEAK TO THE BREADTH AND CAPACITY THAT THE HOSPITAL HAS IN IMPACTING THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY IN A COMPREHENSIVE AND INTENTIONAL APPROACH.
PART III, LINE 4: THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THE HEALTH SYSTEM BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYERS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT.THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 2 WAS CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET 2 'RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES' TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR TRINITY MEDICAL CENTER. THIS RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED AGAINST THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS USING IRS WORKSHEET A TO ARRIVE AT THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST REPORTED ON LINE 2.
PART III, LINE 8: AMOUNTS ON LINE 6 WERE CALCULATED USING IRS WORKSHEET B 'TOTAL MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS.' THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS AND THEN REDUCED BY ANY AMOUNTS ALREADY CAPTURED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE IN PART I ABOVE.THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONFERRED IN THIS AREA. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B WAS DETERMINED USING INFORMATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. HOWEVER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT DISALLOWS CERTAIN ITEMS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE LEGITIMATE EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE PROCESS OF CARING FOR OUR MEDICARE PATIENTS. EXAMPLES OF THESE ITEMS INCLUDE PROVIDER BASED PHYSICIAN EXPENSE, SELF INSURANCE EXPENSE, HOME OFFICE EXPENSE AND THE SHORTFALL FROM FEE SCHEDULE PAYMENTS.THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, MORE SPECIFICALLY, AS CHARITY CARE. THE ELDERLY CONSTITUTE A CLEARLY-RECOGNIZED CHARITABLE CLASS, AND MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR AND THUS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, MEDICAID OR OTHER NEEDS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS. FINALLY, THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS.
PART III, LINE 9B: AFTER THE PATIENT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS PARTIALLY OR ENTIRELY WRITTEN OFF, AS APPROPRIATE. ANY REMAINING BALANCE, IF ANY, WOULD BE COLLECTED UNDER THE NORMAL DEBT COLLECTION POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 7, REPORTS FILED WITH STATES IL,IA
PART VI, LINE 2: "UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY COMPLETED THE LATEST VERSION ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018. IN THE SAME YEAR, THE TRINITY REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE FINDINGS OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (IMPLEMENTATION PLAN) STRATEGIES FOR 2019-2021.COLLABORATION HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL TO ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. STRONG RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY PARTNERS INCLUDE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB, BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, GLOBAL COMMUNITIES, NAMI, RIVER BEND FOODBANK, QUAD CITIES VET CENTER, AND LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON BOTH THE ILLINOIS AND IOWA SIDE TO NAME A FEW. THROUGH THESE RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE EDUCATION, AWARENESS, CONDUCT SCREENINGS, MAKE REFERRALS FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES, AND HELP THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW TO ACCESS THE PROPER TYPE OF CARE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS. IN 2018, UNITYPOINT HEALTH LAUNCHED A THREE-YEAR PRESCRIPTION DRUG SAFETY PROGRAM INITIATIVE. THE PROGRAM, PROVIDED BY UNITYPOINT HEALTH AT NO COST TO STUDENTS OR SCHOOLS, IS DESIGNED TO COMBAT THE OPIOID AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE CRISIS BY BRINGING EDUCATION BEST PRACTICES AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY TO SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE. THE PLATFORM WAS ROLLED OUT TO SEVEN SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT SCOTT, MUSCATINE, ROCK ISLAND, AND HENRY COUNTY. NEARLY 250 STUDENTS USED THE PROGRAM WITH A TOTAL OF 117 LEARNING HOURS. THERE'S HAS BEEN A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK FROM THE PROGRAM, MOST NOTABLY THAT 90% OF STUDENTS FELT THEY HAD THE SKILLS NEEDED TO REFUSE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE PROACTIVE WORK BEING DONE TO COMBAT CHALLENGES WE'RE FACING IN OUR COMMUNITY. UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY IS COMMITTED TO CONTINUING OUR EFFORT TO DEVELOP PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH OUR SPONSORSHIP PROCESS. OUR ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO ""IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, AND WE HAVE BEEN INTENTIONAL ABOUT THE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WE SPONSOR. THE MAJORITY OF SPONSORSHIPS WE PROVIDE TO THE COMMUNITY ARE DIRECTLY ALIGNED WITH THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AND THE KEY FOCUS AREAS FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN AN INTENTIONAL EFFORT TO GO BEYOND THE SPONSORSHIP EXCHANGE WITH ORGANIZATIONS IN ORDER TO WORK WITH THEM TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMING TO REACH THE COMMUNITY WITH HEALTH EDUCATION AND SERVICES. IN 2018, WE BEGAN LOOKING AT ORGANIZATIONS WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SPONSORS TO DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS WITH THEM AS WELL TO EXPAND OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS. THIS HAS ALLOWED US TO REMAIN AND VALUABLE COMMUNITY PARTNER AND STRENGTHENS OUR TIES WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE THESE TYPES OF OPPORTUNITIES AND OTHERS AS THEY ARE PRESENTED. A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP THAT FORMED BETWEEN UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY, WORLD RELIEF, AND THE IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITY. TRINITY'S PARISH NURSE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED BY A LOCAL PASTOR IN THE BURMESE COMMUNITY IN THE QUAD CITIES. THE PASTOR WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PREGNANT WOMEN IN HIS CONGREGATION AND THE UNFAMILIARITY WITH HAVING CHILD IN THE UNITED STATES. AS A RESULT OF THE CONCERN, FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD TRINITY'S LABOR/DELIVERY TEAM, THE BURMESE COMMUNITY, AND AFRICAN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY WITH ASSISTANCE FROM WORLD RELIEF. FOLLOWING THE FOCUS GROUPS, PRENATAL CLASSES WERE HELD TO HELP EASE THE STRESS OF EXPECTING MOTHERS AND ALLOW THEM TO HAVE A MORE POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. IN 2016, UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY FORMED A MILITARY ADVISORY COUNCIL TO HELP IDENTIFY COMMON CHALLENGES IMPACTING VETERANS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. FROM THIS WORK WE FOUND THAT A LOT OF VETERANS IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE AROUND THE SERVICES OFFERED TO ASSIST THEM. THE COMMITTEE DEVELOPED A RESOURCE GUIDE TO HELP CONNECT VETERANS TO RESOURCES SUCH AS HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, STATE AND COUNTY RESOURCES, FOOD, AND MORE. THIS RESOURCE IS ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY TO USE TO ASSIST CONNECTING VETERANS TO NEEDED RESOURCES. UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY HAS ALSO PARTNERED WITH A NUMBER OF LOCAL VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS TO REACH VETERANS WITH HEALTH INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND SERVICES. WE HOSTED A NUMBER OF EVENTS TO PROVIDE FREE BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS, FLU SHOTS, DIABETES SCREENINGS AND MORE. BY 2018, OUR MILITARY ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS NOTICED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS FOR THE WORK BEING DONE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. IN MID-2018 UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY'S MILITARY ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECENT THE COMMUNITY VETERANS ENGAGEMENT BOARD DESIGNATION, THE SECOND ESTABLISHED IN THE STATE OF IA, AND THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY TO BE FORMED OUT OF A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DEPARTMENT UTILIZES UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY'S MISSION EFFECTIVENESS COMMITTEE TO ADVISE THE DIRECTION AND IMPACT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S OUTREACH WORK. THE COMMITTEE'S PURPOSE IS TO ENSURE THAT UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY IS LIVING OUT ITS MISSION IN AN EFFECTIVE AND IMPACTFUL WAY. THE MISSION EFFECTIVENESS COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF UNITYPOINT HEALTH - TRINITY BOARD MEMBERS, STAFF, AND MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY."
