AVERA MCKENNAN	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: AVERA MCKENNAN ADOPTED AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THREE HIGHLY IDENTIFIED NEEDS IN THE 2015 CHNA CONDUCTED IN FY2016. THOSE NEEDS ARE OBESITY (INCLUDES NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OTHER CHRONIC DISEASE RISK FACTORS), MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ACCESS TO CARE (INCLUDES ISSUES SUCH AS AVAILABILITY, COST AND COORDINATION OF CARE). IN FY2018 A COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TASK FORCE WAS ORGANIZED WITH AVERA MCKENNAN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LEADERSHIP PARTICIPATING. THE TASK FORCE IS WORKING TO DEFINE THE COMMUNITY'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH STATUS, DEMOGRAPHICS AND ISSUES AND DEVELOPING AN ACTION PLAN. THIS INVOLVES 12 OTHER HEALTH CARE, NON-PROFIT AND CITY AGENCIES. AVERA MCKENNAN PARTICIPATED IN THE HAYWARD THRIVE PROJECT, EDUCATING AN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOOD ON FOOD PREPARATION, GARDENING, GROCERY SHOPPING, WELLNESS SCREENINGS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ALONG WITH A BLOCK PARTY. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE SIOUX EMPIRE NETWORK OF CARE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION TO COORDINATE CARE ACCESS. THE FACILITY ALSO PILOTED A PROJECT TO ADDRESS TRANSPORTATION FOR APPOINTMENTS AND ACCESS TO MEDICATIONS. RESULTS OF THE PILOT WERE MIXED, BUT LYFT ENTERED THE SIOUX FALLS MARKET IN 2018 AND SINCE THEN AVERA MCKENNAN HAS SUBSIDIZED OVER 2,000 PATIENT RIDES. AVERA WORKED WITH A LOCAL GROCER, PAROCHIAL GRADE SCHOOL AND LOCAL NON-PROFIT GROUNDWORKS, TO PROVIDE THIRD GRADERS WITH MONTHLY EDUCATION ON HEALTH/WELLNESS, FOOD CHOICES AND PREPARATION AND EXERCISE. YOUTH, EDUCATION, AND HOUSING WERE IDENTIFIED BUT WILL NOT BE DIRECTLY ADDRESSED. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE ADDRESSING THESE CONCERNS. THESE AREAS ALSO FALL OUTSIDE OF OUR AREA OF EXPERTISE AND THOSE AGENCIES ARE BETTER EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE SPECIFIC ISSUES. FINALLY, WITH FINITE RESOURCES THE DECISION WAS MADE TO FOCUS ON NO MORE THAN THE FIVE INITIATIVES IN ORDER TO MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT.

PART I, LINE 3C:	THE METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION INCOME, NET ASSETS, FAMILY SIZE AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR CARE. IN ADDITION, PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE MAY BE APPLIED IN SITUATIONS WHERE ALL OTHER AVENUES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED.
PART I, LINE 7:	A COMBINATION OF COSTING METHODOLOGY WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE. A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO CALCULATE MEDICAID AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAM EXPENSES AND SHORTFALLS AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES FOR OUR TERTIARY MEDICAL CENTER. A COST TO CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES WAS USED TO CALCULATE CHARITY CARE AT COST FOR ALL ENTITIES AND MEDICAID AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAM EXPENSES AND SHORTFALLS AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES FOR ANY OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE TERTIARY MEDICAL CENTER. FOR ALL OTHER AMOUNTS, COSTS AND REVENUES AS REFLECTED BY THE GENERAL LEDGER SYSTEM WERE USED.
PART I, LINE 7G:	PHYSICIAN CLINIC COSTS FOR TRANSPLANT SERVICES ARE INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. REVENUES OF $777,690 AND COSTS OF $2,082,683 WERE INCLUDED FOR A NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT OF $1,304,993. OUR FACILITY IS THE PRINCIPAL PROVIDER OF BONE MARROW AND PANCREAS TRANSPLANT SERVICES THROUGHOUT OUR SERVICE AREA, IN ADDITION TO DEVELOPING A LIVER TRANSPLANT PROGRAM, WITH THE CLINICS AS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF SUCCESSFUL PRE AND POST TRANSPLANT CARE.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $26,527,142 IS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) BUT EXCLUDED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THIS PERCENTAGE.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MONETARY ASSISTANCE TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS ON PROVIDING FURNITURE FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES, NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS IN HIGH NEEDS AREAS, CHILDREN AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND JOB CREATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS.
PART III, LINE 2:	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED NET OF DISCOUNTS AND CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES. A PAYMENT ON AN ACCOUNT PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN OFF REDUCES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR.BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON LINE 2 IS REPORTED AT CHARGES AS PRESENTED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 3:	AVERA MCKENNAN HAS SEVERAL PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO DETERMINE WHICH PATIENTS WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THEREFORE THE HOSPITAL FEELS CONFIDENT THAT NO AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSES CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE 10 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE MEDICARE REVENUES RECEIVED (LINE 5), ALLOWABLE COSTS (LINE 6), AND THE RESULTING LOSS (LINE 7) DOES NOT INCLUDE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S EXPENSES. THESE LINES REQUIRE USE OF THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AS PREPARED BY THE REQUIRED GUIDELINES WHICH DISALLOWS NUMEROUS COSTS OF HOSPITALS, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ARE PART OF AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM SUCH AS AVERA MCKENNAN. IN THESE CASES THE ENTITY MUST FILE A HOME OFFICE COST REPORT WHICH "STEPS DOWN" OVERHEAD TO NON-COST REPORT ENTITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY TO ACTUAL ALLOWABLE SHARE AND ESSENTIALLY REMOVING THE COSTS FROM THE HOSPITAL'S COST REPORT ENTIRELY. EXAMPLES OF A PORTION OF THESE OVERHEAD COSTS WOULD BE FINANCE, BUSINESS OFFICE, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, HUMAN RESOURCES AND ADMINISTRATION. EXAMPLES OF NON-COST REPORT ENTITIES OPERATED BY AVERA MCKENNAN INCLUDE CLINICS, MOBILE IMAGING SERVICES, LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES, AND OTHER HEALTH CARE RELATED BUSINESSES. THERE ARE ALSO COSTS COMPLETELY DISALLOWED BY COST REPORT RULES SUCH AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE, HOSPITALISTS CARE, CRNA'S, AND INTEREST EXPENSE. AVERA MCKENNAN ALSO RECEIVES A MEDICARE DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL (DSH) ADJUSTMENT AS PART OF THE COST REPORT DUE TO ITS SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF LOW-INCOME PATIENTS SERVED. PART III, LINE 5 REQUIRES INCLUSION OF THIS REVENUE THOUGH EXPENSES INCLUDED ARE MUCH LOWER. SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS ALSO REQUIRE THE EXCLUSION OF $1,172,076 OF MEDICARE LOSSES BECAUSE THEY ARE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H, PART 1, LINE 7F OR 7G. INCLUDING THE MEDICARE PERCENTAGE OF DISALLOWED COSTS, ENTITIES WHICH DON'T FILE A COST REPORT BUT NEVERTHELESS CARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS, AND THE IMPACT OF THE HOME OFFICE COST REPORT, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS $53,747,836 AS OPPOSED TO A SHORTFALL OF $27,018,451.AVERA MCKENNAN FOLLOWS THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION GUIDELINES IN REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND THEREFORE ANY MEDICARE SHORTFALL (AS CALCULATED INCLUDING OUR NON-COST REPORT ENTITIES) IS EXCLUDED FROM OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. HOWEVER, MEDICARE IS THE ORGANIZATION'S LARGEST PAYER AND PATIENTS WITH MEDICARE COVERAGE ARE ACCEPTED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT IS REALIZED FROM PROVIDING THE SERVICES. THIS BASIS THEREFORE MEANS PROVIDING MEDICARE SERVICES PROMOTES ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHICH IS A KEY ADVANTAGE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE ARE BASED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE MEDICARE COST REPORT IS COMPLETED BASED ON THE RULES AND REGULATIONS SET FORTH BY CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES.
PART III, LINE 9B:	IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY FOR LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED PATIENTS AND IS COOPERATING WITH THE ORGANIZATION WITH REGARD TO EFFORTS TO SETTLE AN OUTSTANDING BILL WITHIN CURRENT SELF-PAY COLLECTION POLICY GUIDELINES AND TIMEFRAMES, THE ORGANIZATION OR ITS AGENT SHALL NOT SEND, NOR INTIMATE THAT IT WILL SEND, THE UNPAID BILL TO ANY OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. AVERA ORGANIZATIONS WILL ALLOW ALL INDIVIDUALS 120 DAYS FROM THE FIRST POST DISCHARGE STATEMENT TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BEFORE SENDING THE UNCOLLECTED ACCOUNT TO AN OUTSIDE COLLECTION AGENCY. AVERA WILL PROVIDE THE PATIENT WITH A STATEMENT OR FINAL NOTICE THAT CONTAINS A LISTING OF THE SPECIFIC COLLECTION ACTION(S) IT INTENDS TO INITIATE, AND A DEADLINE AFTER WHICH THEY MAY BE INITIATED NO EARLIER THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE ACTION IS INITIATED. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR 100% CHARITY CARE, NO FURTHER BILLS WILL BE SENT. A LETTER WILL BE SENT INSTEAD INDICATING THAT THE PATIENT'S BILL HAS BEEN COMPLETELY FORGIVEN.
PART VI, LINE 2:	COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT OCCURS AT VARIOUS POINTS IN THE SYSTEM. THROUGH ANNUAL STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS, COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE BROUGHT IN TO UPDATE AND EDUCATE AVERA MCKENNAN BOARD MEMBERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL ON THE SUCCESSES, CHALLENGES, AND SERVICE GAPS IN THE COMMUNITY. EXAMPLES INCLUDE SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIALS, STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS. LEADERS ALSO SERVE ON BOARDS OF VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH SEEK TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF AREA CITIZENS. LOCAL GOVERNING BOARDS AT OUTLYING FACILITIES, WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, DISCUSS AND HELP DIRECT RESOURCES TO AREAS OF TARGETED NEEDS AS WELL.
PART VI, LINE 3:	NOTICES ARE POSTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH IN A VISIBLE MANNER IN LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS A HIGH VOLUME OF INPATIENT OR OUTPATIENT ADMITTING/REGISTRATION, SUCH AS EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS, BILLING OFFICES, ADMITTING OFFICES, AND OUTPATIENT SERVICE SETTINGS AS WELL AS THE ORGANIZATION WEBSITE. POSTED NOTICES STATE THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY FOR LOW-INCOME UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THEIR BILL AND THAT THIS POLICY PROVIDES FOR CHARITY CARE AND REDUCED-PAYMENT FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES. THERE IS ALSO IDENTIFICATION OF A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER THAT A PATIENT CAN CALL TO OBTAIN MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND ABOUT HOW TO APPLY FOR SUCH ASSISTANCE. ADDITIONALLY, ADMITTING STAFF MAKES AVAILABLE A BROCHURE DESIGNED TO HELP PATIENTS UNDERSTAND HOW WE BILL PATIENTS AND PROVIDES SUMMARY INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PAY. PATIENT ADVOCATES WORK WITH UNINSURED PATIENTS IN OUR MAIN TERTIARY FACILITY TO ENROLL THEM IN APPLICABLE SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND IDENTIFY CHARITY ELIGIBILITY, ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT FOR COUNTY, STATE OR FEDERAL RISK POOLS, AND ELIGIBILITY FOR MODIFIED MEDICARE OR MEDICAID PROGRAMS.
