Additional data

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.

Financial Assistance at cost as % of operating expenses	$ 1,936,605 1.18 %

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	$ 8,972,208 5.47 %
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:
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.
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.
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.

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

IN CONDUCTING THE MOST RECENT CHNA, ANDERSON HOSPITAL ELICITED INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH A VARIETY OF METHODS. WE PARTNERED WITH THE MADISON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO HOLD FOCUS GROUPS, CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY, AND ORGANIZE MEETINGS TO SET TOP HEALTH PRIORITIES. THE STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS ALLOWED US TO OBTAIN PERTINENT INFORMATION FROM OUR COMMUNITY LEADERS AND STAFF MEMBERS TO ESTABLISH KEY HEALTH CONCERNS. EIGHT TOTAL FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN MADISON COUNTY, WITH ONE BEING HELD AT ANDERSON HOSPITAL. THE ATTENDEES OF THE STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS WERE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INVOLVED WITH THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THEIR PROFESSION OR PERSONAL INTEREST IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS. EXAMPLES INCLUDED HEALTH EDUCATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS FROM HOSPITALS AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES IN THE AREA, FACULTY FROM LOCAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES, PHARMACISTS, HEALTH EDUCATORS FROM THE MADISON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, COLLEAGUES THAT WORK WITH SPECIFIC POPULATIONS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, AND STAFF FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT FOCUS ON THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF THE COMMUNITY. THE FOCUS GROUP QUESTIONS TARGETED WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY, WHAT ARE THE MOST URGENT HEALTH CONCERNS, WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF THESE PROBLEMS, WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS OF THE SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY, AND WHAT ARE THE GREATEST OBSTACLES. PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED FOR FURTHER INVOLVEMENT IN PROMOTING COMPLETION OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY WAS DISSEMINATED ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH EMAIL AND THROUGH PAPER SURVEYS THAT WERE PLACED AROUND THE COMMUNITY AND AT ANDERSON HOSPITAL. THE SURVEY YIELDED 389 RESPONSES FROM OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. QUESTIONS FOCUSED ON WHAT ARE THE MOST URGENT HEALTH CONCERNS, WHAT KEEPS PEOPLE FROM BEING HEALTHY, WHY PEOPLE DO NOT GET NEEDED HEALTH CARE, AND RATE HEALTH ISSUES ON A SCALE OF MOST URGENT TO NOT A PROBLEM. FROM THE SURVEY RESULTS, TEN TOP HEALTH CONCERNS WERE IDENTIFIED. ANDERSON HOSPITAL PARTICIPATED IN THE MADISON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT MEETINGS TO IDENTIFY THEIR TOP CONCERNS TO GAIN INSIGHT, THEN MET WITH OUR INTERNAL TEAM TO DETERMINE WHAT THE TOP CONCERNS WERE FOR OUR SPECIFIC SERVICE AREA. ANDERSON HOSPITAL'S HEALTH EDUCATION PLANNING COMMITTEE MET AND MEMBERS INDIVIDUALLY CHOSE THEIR TOP CONCERNS, AND THEN DISCUSSED EACH TOPIC AS A COMMITTEE TO ULTIMATELY DETERMINE OUR TOP 4 PRIORITY TOPICS. THE TOPICS INCLUDED CANCER, POVERTY, OBESITY, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

ANDERSON HOSPITAL'S HEALTH EDUCATION PLANNING COMMITTEE FACILITATES AND MAINTAINS AN ANNUAL DASHBOARD FOCUSED ON THE TOP HEALTH PRIORITIES FOR 2022-2025 THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN 2021. ANDERSON CHOSE A TOTAL OF FOUR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL HEALTH PRIORITIES BASED ON TOP HEALTH CONCERNS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. EACH HEALTH PRIORITY HAS A LIST OF OBJECTIVES THAT WERE THE PRIMARY FOCUS OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. ANDERSON WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO MEET THESE OBJECTIVES. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE MANY HEALTH CONCERNS IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED, WE PRIORITIZED ON THE TOP FOUR WITH THE BEST INTEREST OF IMPROVING THESE CONCERNS OVER THE THREE YEAR TIME PERIOD. THE HEALTH EDUCATION PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETS AT LEAST QUARTERLY TO UPDATE THE DASHBOARD WITH THE OBJECTIVES THAT HAVE BEEN MET, AS WELL AS DOCUMENT IF A PARTICULAR OBJECTIVE COULD NOT BE MET AND WHY. ADDITIONALLY, WE RECORD AND MAINTAIN ALL COMMUNITY BENEFIT DATA FOR ANDERSON HOSPITAL IN THE CIBSA DATABASE. WITH THIS INFORMATION, WE CAN IDENTIFY HOW WE HAVE MET OUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, AND FOCUS ON AREAS OF GROWTH IN THE FUTURE.

Schedule H (Form 990) Part VI

SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2
BAD DEBTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER 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, THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYERS 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), THE HOSPITAL RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS 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 OR PROVIDED BY POLICY) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
