(as % of functional expenses, which all tax-exempt organizations report on Form 990 Schedule H)
(as % of total functional expenses)
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$ 37,554,542 1.07 %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? 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

PART III, LINE 2: THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT AT COST IS DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE CCR (SEE PART 1, LINE 7 DISCLOSURE) TO PATIENT CHARGES THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE OR REFUSE TO PAY THEIR BILLS AND DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE, GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PROGRAMS OR OTHER PAYMENT ASSISTANCE, AND ARE OTHERWISE UNINSURED.THE FILING ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE TO UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS THAT FALL INTO THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES; IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA, UP TO 200% OR 201%-400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, IN CALIFORNIA UP TO 250%, 251%-350% OR 351%-500% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE ALSO PROVIDES PATIENTS OPTIONS FOR UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNT AND SELF-PAY DISCOUNTS. IN CALIFORNIA, PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR WITH HIGH MEDICAL COSTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE DISCOUNTED CARE IN ADDITION TO AN INTEREST-FREE EXTENDED PAYMENT PLAN THAT WILL ALLOW PAYMENT OF THE DISCOUNTED AMOUNT OVER TIME. DISCOUNTS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR AS DEDUCTIONS FROM REVENUE, NOT AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 3: THE DIGNITY HEALTH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS UPDATED AND RENAMED AS COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE HOSPITALS FOLLOW THIS POLICY.THE FILING ORGANIZATION MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO DETERMINE IF A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UPON ADMISSION. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS COMMUNICATED TO PATIENTS UPON ADMISSION AND IS AVAILABLE IN THE LANGUAGES PRIMARILY SPOKEN IN THE COMMUNITY. IT IS ALSO POSTED IN VARIOUS COMMON AREAS OF THE HOSPITAL, SUCH AS EMERGENCY ROOMS, URGENT CARE CENTERS, ADMITTING AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITAL BUSINESS OFFICES LOCATED ON FACILITY CAMPUSES, AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES, AND IS PROVIDED UPON BILLING IF ELIGIBILITY IS NOT PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED. ELIGIBILITY IS REEVALUATED AS NEEDED AND AMOUNTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS CHARITY AS SOON AS ELIGIBILITY IS KNOWN. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH ALSO UTILIZES A PAYMENT ASSISTANCE RANK ORDERING (PARO) SCORING SYSTEM TO ASSIST IN DETERMINING IF AN UNINSURED PATIENT MAY QUALIFY FOR PAYMENT ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR IT. PARO IS A METHODOLOGY THAT APPLIES CONSISTENT SCREENING AND APPLICATION STANDARDS TO ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS UTILIZING HISTORICAL DATA TO DEVELOP A PREDICTIVE MODEL FOR HEALTHCARE PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. IN ITS DEVELOPMENT, SPECIAL ATTENTION WAS PAID TO THOSE SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS THAT MIGHT ADVERSELY AFFECT THOSE PATIENTS DESERVING THE MOST ATTENTION. OTHER CRITERIA ARE ALSO UTILIZED TO ENSURE THAT SERVICES THAT HAVE QUALIFIED AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE NOT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT. AS SUCH, DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN PART III, LINE 2, ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S PAYMENT ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND THEREFORE, NO PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 4: THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM COMMONSPIRIT'S CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022, RELATED TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND NET PATIENT REVENUE. THE ENTIRE FOOTNOTE CAN BE VIEWED IN THE ATTACHED COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON PAGES 12-13.PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE AMOUNTS THAT REFLECT THE CONSIDERATION COMMONSPIRIT EXPECTS TO BE PAID IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. THESE AMOUNTS ARE DUE FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS (INCLUDING HEALTH INSURERS AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS), AND OTHERS, AND INCLUDE CONSIDERATION FOR RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO SETTLEMENT OF AUDITS AND REVIEWS. GENERALLY, PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE RECOGNIZED OVER TIME AS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. NET PATIENT REVENUE IS PRIMARILY COMPRISED OF HOSPITAL AND PHYSICIAN SERVICES.
PART III, LINE 8: COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH HOSPITALS PREPARE MEDICARE COST REPORTS IN A MANNER THAT COMPORTS WITH PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENT MANUAL (PRM) 15-1 AND PRM 15-2 CHAPTER 40 (TRANSMITTAL 13). AS SUCH, THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE PER PRM 15-1 DESCRIBES THE COMPUTATION OF COSTS PER THE MEDICARE COST REPORT: TOTAL ALLOWABLE COSTS OF A PROVIDER ARE APPORTIONED BETWEEN PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES AND OTHER PATIENTS SO THAT THE SHARE BORNE BY THE PROGRAM IS BASED UPON ACTUAL SERVICES RECEIVED BY PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES. THE RATIO OF COVERED BENEFICIARY CHARGES TO TOTAL PATIENT CHARGES FOR THE SERVICES OF EACH ANCILLARY DEPARTMENT IS APPLIED TO THE COST OF THE DEPARTMENT. ADDED TO THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST OF ROUTINE SERVICES FOR PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES, DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF A SEPARATE AVERAGE COST PER DIEM FOR ALL PATIENTS FOR GENERAL ROUTINE PATIENT CARE AREAS. ANOTHER FACTOR CONSIDERED IS A SEPARATE AVERAGE COST PER DIEM FOR EACH INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, CORONARY CARE UNIT, AND OTHER SPECIAL CARE INPATIENT HOSPITAL UNITS.COMMONSPIRIT AND ITS SUBORDINATE CORPORATIONS BELIEVE THAT THE ENTIRE MEDICARE SHORTFALL FOR THE CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES CONSTITUTES COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH HOSPITALS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN ITS COMMUNITIES. THE HOSPITALS PROVIDE CARE REGARDLESS OF THIS SHORTFALL AND THEREBY RELIEVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE'S SHORTFALL, AS REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION B, LINE 7, OF $149.1 MILLION REPRESENTS THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORTS.
PART III, LINE 9B: DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE FACILITIES ENSURE THAT PATIENT ACCOUNTS ARE PROCESSED FAIRLY AND CONSISTENTLY. DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE ALSO FOLLOWS COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH'S COLLECTION POLICY. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH'S BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM PATIENTS WHO THE ORGANIZATION KNOWS QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS WITH INCORRECT OR INCOMPLETE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ARE ASSIGNED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY IF THE DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE FACILITY, OR BILLING COMPANY RETAINED BY DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE, IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN AN UPDATED ADDRESS THROUGH SKIP TRACING OR OTHER MEANS. FOR PATIENTS WHO HAVE AN APPLICATION PENDING FOR EITHER GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ASSISTANCE OR FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, OR WHERE THE PATIENT IS ATTEMPTING IN GOOD FAITH TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING BILL WITH THE FACILITY VIA PAYMENT PLANS, DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE WILL NOT KNOWINGLY SEND THAT PATIENT'S BILL TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. LEGAL ACTION WILL NOT BE PURSUED TO COLLECT DEBTS FROM PATIENTS WHO HAVE QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY OR ARE COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THEIR DEBT.ON SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA NOTED ABOVE, THE INITIAL DETERMINATION OF ASSIGNMENT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE ACCOUNT WITH THE FINAL DECISION BEING AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BILLING COMPANY RETAINED BY DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE. UPON ASSIGNMENT OF SUCH A PATIENT ACCOUNT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY, DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE REQUIRES THE AGENCY TO COMPLY WITH THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.
