(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$ 7,822,119 0.34 %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$ 1,126,385 14.40 %- 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

AFTER REVIEWING THE CHNA FINDINGS, THE CHNA STEERING COMMITTEE PRIORITIZED THE TOP HEALTH NEEDS FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THE CHNA STEERING COMMITTEE WERE ASKED TO EVALUATE EACH HEALTH ISSUE ALONG TWO CRITERIA: 1) SCOPE AND SEVERITY OF THE HEALTH ISSUE; AND 2) THE HOSPITALS AND THE COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO IMPACT THAT ISSUE. THE CHNA STEERING COMMITTEE ALSO CONSIDERED: EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE - THE PROGRAMS AND SYSTEMS AND STAFF IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH ISSUE; ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS - THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ALREADY EXIST AND THE OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP NEW PARTNERSHIPS; ONGOING INVESTMENTS - THE RESOURCES ALREADY COMMITTED TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH ISSUE - NOTABLY DESERT MISSION FOOD BANK, THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE AND INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS HEALTH DISPARITIES; FOCUS - THE ALIGNMENT WITH HONORHEALTH'S STRATEGY.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation 0
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance LINE 7A/7B: THE COST-TO-CHARGE WORKSHEETS FROM THE FORM 990 SCHEDULE INSTRUCTIONS WERE USED TO COMPLETE THESE LINES. LINE 7E: COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COSTS WERE BASED ON AVERAGE SALARIES FOR EACH DEPARTMENT AND THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEE HOURS DEVOTED TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS. NON-SALARY DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS WERE ADDED WHEN APPLICABLE. LINE 7F: HEALTH PROFESSION EDUCATION COSTS WERE BASED ON AVERAGE SALARIES AND HOURS DEVOTED BY STAFF IN TRAINING STUDENTS. STUDENTS INCLUDE NURSES, PHYSICIANS, PHARMACISTS, AND THERAPISTS. LINE 7G: SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE INCLUDES THE LOST INCOME FROM THE SERVICES. LOST INCOME MAY INCLUDE THE COST OF SALARIES AND THE COST OF EQUIPMENT. LINE 7H: RESEARCH INCLUDES THE SALARIES OF RESEARCH STAFF AND FUNDING FOR SPECIFIC RESEARCH PROGRAMS. LINE 7I: CASH AND IN-KIND SERVICES INCLUDE ANY DONATIONS, GRANTS, OR SPONSORSHIPS. IF A DONATION IS NON-MONETARY, A PRICE IS ESTIMATED FOR THE GOOD.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED. THESE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS UPON REVIEW BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. BAD DEBT IS DETERMINED BY THE PATIENT'S OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT BALANCE ON THE DAY THEIR ACCOUNT IS TRANSFERRED TO A BAD DEBT STATUS. THE OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT BALANCE CONSISTS OF GROSS REVENUE LESS ANY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS POSTED TO THE ACCOUNT. PAYMENTS MADE AFTER THE ACCOUNT IS IN A BAD DEBT STATUS ARE CONSIDERED RECOVERIES AND WILL REDUCE THE BAD DEBT AMOUNT WHEN PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology THE COST OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS DETERMINED USING THE NETWORK'S CALCULATED COST TO CHARGE RATIO APPLIED TO REPORTED GROSS CHARGES WRITTEN OFF DURING THE YEAR. USING A SAMPLE OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF DURING THE YEAR, THE NETWORK HAS ESTIMATED THAT APPROXIMATELY 38% OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE NETWORK'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. A NUMBER OF PATIENTS ARE TRULY UNABLE TO PAY THEIR OUT-OF-POCKET LIABILITY, BUT DO NOT COMPLETE THE PROCESS REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THESE PATIENTS WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE IF THEY COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK, SO THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH TREATING THEM IS TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote THE FOOTNOTE THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT IS ON PAGE 13 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance PURSUANT TO HONORHEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, HONORHEALTH WILL NOT PURSUE LEGAL ACTION FOR NON-PAYMENT OF BILLS AGAINST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PATIENTS WHO HAVE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY HAVE NEITHER SUFFICIENT INCOME NOR ASSETS TO MEET THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATION.
