DescAvera St. Luke's mission is to provide acute care and long-term healthcare services including skilled nursing, congregate living and assisted living (Medicaid certified), of which there were 15,073 acute patient days, 964 nursery patient days, 46,999 nursing home resident days, 188,456 clinic visits and 130,484 outpatient visits. Avera St. Luke's provides health care services to patients who meet certain criteria under its Charity Care Policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Since the Organization does not pursue collection of these amounts, they are not reported as patient service revenue. The amount of charges foregone for services provided under the Organization's charity care policy was approximately $6,967,750 for the year ended June 30, 2015. The estimated cost of providing these services was $2,509,176 for the year ended June 30, 2015, calculated by multiplying the ratio of cost to gross charges for the Organization by the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing charity care to its patients.Avera St. Luke's also provides community benefit health activities at less than or at no cost to support those in the area served. These activities include: donations/grants/educational scholarships, community education programs; special programs for the elderly, handicapped, and medically underserved; support for rural clinics; nursing staff for health centers serving minority populations; and a variety of broad community support activities. During the year ended June 30, 2015, specific activities included meals delivered to residential homes; senior resource programs for billing assistance; meeting facilities and programs for patients and families; assistance to health educators; emergency healthcare providers; wellness programs; and housing families of hospitalized patients.As a member of the Avera Health System, Avera St. Luke's upholds the vision of the Presentation and Benedictine Sisters to work through collaboration to provide a quality, effective health ministry and to improve the health care of individuals and our communities through a regionally integrated network of persons and institutions. Avera St. Luke's engages in activities (including a Community Health Needs Assessment) designed to improve the health of individuals and communities in response to a calling to heal the sick, the elderly, and the oppressed.Desc

Part IV, Line 2b:The organization holds funds in trust on behalf of its residents.
Part V, Line 4:The Organization's endowments consist of a portion of their interest in the net assets of the Avera Health Foundation. The Avera Health Foundation includes endowment funds which have been established for a variety of purposes. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments (if any), are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The Organization's permanently restricted endowment funds are donor restricted.
Part X, Line 2:The Organization is organized as a South Dakota nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Certain consolidated subsidiaries, including Valley Health Services, are not tax-exempt entities and are considered partnerships or disregarded entities for tax purposes. The Organization is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, the Organization is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. The Organization files an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) with the IRS to report its unrelated business taxable income. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements. The Organization would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred. The Organization's federal Form 990T filings are no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 5: Avera St. Luke's conducted five focus groups representing community leaders and members, health care providers, uninsured/underinsured persons and policy makers in order to discuss health care needs and concerns in Brown County. The hospital invited a vast array of individuals from all facets of the community to participate in the focus groups. Those individuals who were able to attend one of the focus groups included representatives from local schools, including colleges and universities; health care related organizations; Brown County; churches; city officials; and other government officials.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 11: The following key themes were identified by the Focus Groups as community needs. The Hospital reviewed and assessed its current involvement in each to determine future steps to take. The Hospital has involvement in the following five identified areas. Health Care AffordabilityAvera St. Luke's does many things in order to help with health care affordability. The Social Services Department provides assistance to those unable to pay for services and the Business Office assists patients as needed in setting up payment plans. Access to Health Care SpecialistsAvera St. Luke's currently offers 27 physician specialties locally. The Avera St. Luke's physician recruiter works on an ongoing basis to recruit additional specialists as needed.Avera St. Luke's also has access to eConsult services. eConsult is a program facilitated by the Avera Health system that uses cutting edge technology to provide access to specialty services in rural facilities through two-way video technology.Preventive Care and EducationAvera St. Luke's currently has numerous programs that provide preventive care and health education opportunities to the community such as screening, health fairs, fitness programs, education, classes, health forums and safety.Chronic Disease CareAvera St. Luke's currently provides both support and care facilities for the chronically ill through our Kidney Dialysis Unit, Behavioral Health Services, Home Health, Palliative Care and Hospice Services. Travel and Accessibility to CareAvera St. Luke's monetarily supports the Aberdeen Ride Line service as well as the Groton Community Transit service for patients who have no transportation to doctor appointments. Two FastCare clinics provide after hours and weekend care, the ER is staffed 24-hours a day, helicopter services are available 24-hours a day, St. Luke's manages two critical access hospitals and five primary clinics, specialists travel to eight communities within the region on a monthly basis to provide clinic services, eConsult services are available, and the Auxiliary Guest House is available at a low price for patients and families who need overnight stays and can't afford a hotel.Dental CareThe Community Assessment focus was on Dental Care given number of patients who come to the ER for care, some of which is basic. In our City, dental care for Medicaid and low income families is not readily available. We reached out to the Dental Association and tried other avenues to create access. We have not been completely successful. We do host the Delta Dental van when it comes to Aberdeen and the response in the past and currently, has been very high. Lots of children receive care when the van comes to our campus. Additionally our Social Work department has worked with individuals and families to gain access and in some cases, have asked their personal dentist to care for the person and have had success.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 16i: A summary of the financial assistance policy is posted in the Hospital facility's emergency rooms, waiting rooms, and admissions office and is included in the billing statement. In addition, the financial assistance policy is discussed with the patient upon admission to the facility.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 24: Individuals eligible for financial assistance are not charged gross charges for emergency or other medically necessary care; however may be charged gross charges for elective care.

Part I, Line 3c:A combination of income and assets test is utilized to determine eligibility for free or discounted care. Points are assigned based on income as a percentage of FPG and net assets owned with points deducted for ongoing medical expenses such as drugs. Patients with the fewest points receive the largest discount. 0-1 points receive 100% discount on bills while remaining discounts range from 10-90% depending on point totals and dollar amount of charges.
Part I, Line 6a:Our community benefit report is contained in a report prepared by Avera Health, a related organization. It is available through the website and requested mailing, and is filed with the Catholic Health Association.
Part I, Line 7:A combination of costing methodologies were used to calculate the amounts reported in the table. A cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, ratio of patient care cost-to-charges was used to calculate charity care at cost, unreimbursed Medicaid and Means-Tested Government Program expenses. Subsidized health was calculated based on actual cost/loss. For all other amounts, costs and revenues as reflected by the general ledger system were used.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):Bad debt expense of $6,130,956 is included on Form 990, Part IX, line 25, column (A) but excluded for purposes of calculating this percentage.
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 is reported at charges as recorded by the organization.
Part III, Line 3:Avera St. Luke's does not believe that any portion of bad debt expense could reasonably be attributed to patients who may qualify for financial assistance since evaluations are completed to determine those amounts due and will be reclassified from bad debt expense to charity care within 30 days following the evaluation of the amount.
Part III, Line 4:The footnote to the Organization's financial statements that describes bad debt expenses is located in Footnote 1 on pages 10 of the attached financial statements.
Part III, Line 8: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 and Medicaid Services. Avera St. Luke's follows the CHA 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.
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 a reasonable time period, the Organization or its agent shall not send, nor indicate that it will send, the unpaid bill to any outside collection agency. At such time as the Organization sends the uncollected account to an outside collection agency, the amount referred to the agency shall reflect the reduced-payment level for which the patient was eligible under the Organization's financial assistance policy for low-income uninsured patients. Avera St. Luke's does not report any data to any of the credit agencies, however, the collection agencies Avera St. Luke's utilizes may report to the credit agencies. Any extended payment plans offered by the Hospital, or the Hospital's representative, in settling the outstanding bills of patients who qualify for financial assistance shall be interest-free so long as the repayment schedule is met.
Part VI, Line 2:Health care needs are assessed through various methods. Given Aberdeen is a regional center/hub and the third largest city in South Dakota, Avera St. Luke's is integrally involved with community organizations, universities/colleges, schools, state programs and local governments. Although another smaller hospital opened in Aberdeen during FY 2013, the next largest hospital is 100 miles from Aberdeen and most of the towns within our region have a population of less than 2,000. By working with all in our region, we are able to determine health needs and provide programs and solutions where possible. Our community health needs assessment (CHNA) was completed and posted to our website by June 30, 2013. We are currently performing a new (CHNA) and will have that completed by June 30, 2016.
Part VI, Line 3:The Organization utilizes various methods to inform patients about our financial assistance policy. Admitting areas have signs/posters noting charity care and financial assistance. Avera St. Luke's and Avera Health utilize the internet to address financial assistance. Social workers are in direct contact with patients and make referrals to the Business Office for financial assistance and in many cases, work directly with the patient on various government programs which may be available and help with applications. For those who receive bills for services and have concerns about their ability to pay, financial counselors work directly with them on financial assistance. We have brochures available to all and treat all without regard to their ability to pay.
Part VI, Line 4:Aberdeen is the third largest city in South Dakota. Using South Dakota estimated data for 2013 and 2014, census reflected a population of approximately 27,800. Our primary service area consists of the following counties: Brown, Marshall, Day, Faulk, Edmunds, McPherson, and Spink in South Dakota and Dickey County in North Dakota. The population of this area is approximately 69,000. Our secondary service area includes other close by counties. This large service area is due to outreach and the scope of specialty services offered by Avera St. Luke's for which if not offered, a patient would travel up to 200 miles for the same service. Given we are a rural community in the truest sense; we have a very aged population. Many of the patients within this region are Medicare age. Other than the hospital that opened in Aberdeen during FY 2013, the next closest hospitals are 40 to 100 miles away and have limited services and are Critical Access Hospitals served by limited physicians. Patient demographics within the region would indicate that after you consider those patients admitted to the smaller hospitals, the majority of the rest seek services at Avera St. Luke's and the other hospital in Aberdeen. The population in the primary service counties range from 2,429 to 38,408. South Dakota Census data estimates for 2013 and 2014 contains many data elements, therefore, will comment on Brown County (location of Avera St. Luke's), Spink County (second largest in primary service area with growth) and McPherson County (due to aged population). % change in Pop. % over 65 Non-White Pop. % State of SD 4.8% 15.3% 14.30%Brown County 5.1% 16.0% 8.80% Spink County 2.9% 19.6% 3.8%McPherson County -1.2% 28.2% 1.8%Median Household IncomeState of SD 49,495Brown County 51,398Spink County 48,911McPherson County 37,240As the above indicate, our region has experienced essentially little growth with the exception of Brown County and the percent over 65 years old is high compared to the State average. The high average age correlates with Medicare admissions being 48.63% of total admissions. Medicaid admissions totaled 8.70%, and newborn admissions totaled 10.59% of all admissions. In addition to Medicare and Medicaid, there is a County Indigent Program which resulted in approximately $5,289,000 of assistance at charge and was for 248 patients.From an unemployment standpoint, South Dakota (3.1%) and our region has faired much better than the US. Within the primary service area, current unemployment rates range from a low of 2.7% in Brown County to a high of 5.5% in Day County.
Part VI, Line 5:Avera St. Luke's is a regional facility within Avera Health System. We are a health ministry cosponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of Yankton, South Dakota and the Presentation Sisters of Aberdeen, South Dakota. Our health ministry is rooted in the Gospel and requires us to make a positive impact in the lives and health of persons and communities by providing quality services guided by Christian values. Avera St. Luke's vision is to be an exceptional health care organization for patients to receive care, physicians to practice and employees to work. The Organization's values are Compassion, Hospitality and Stewardship.Our governing body consists of 17 members who are physicians, community and regional residents and Sister representatives from the Presentation and Benedictine Orders. In addition, four employees (three physicians and the CEO) serve on the board. The governing body included one Sister who represents both orders and is a System Representative. In addition to the governing body, we have two advisory boards. These include: Northern State University Business School and Salvation Army Advisory Board. Medical Staff privileges can be extended to qualified physicians based on receiving approval of their application and credentials by the Medical Dental Staff and then the Hospital governing body. The Hospital's governing body then takes into account other factors related to overall community need and how a physician would impact the Hospital's overall ability to fulfill the mission.Avera St. Luke's mission and values ensure our focus is on the patient, family, employees, physician, those in need, visitors and our region as a whole. The value of Stewardship requires the organization to use all resources in a way that fulfills the mission and values. Each year, our operating and capital budgets are based on various assumptions that in the end provide the needed resources and take into account Charity Care, patient care, technology, education, community services, employee benefit and compensation plans and programs for meeting the region's needs. All surplus funds are used and maintained to provide for both current and future needs.Specific examples of how we further our exempt purpose include but are not limited to the following:a. The only inpatient psychiatric unit within 200 milesb. Interventional Cardiology and Radiology services. These services allow us to meet patient needs when care is critical to their survival and must be delivered on a very timely basis.c. Air Ambulance to transport patients to our facility or 200 miles to tertiary facilities.d. End Stage Renal Disease program which serves our broad region with the next closest facility being 100 miles away. Additionally, we employ a full-time Nephrologist to care for the patients along with others who require intensive physician care.e. A 24 hour Emergency Room which treats all patients without regard to the ability to pay. The ER is staffed by physicians 24 hours per day.f. Provision of a multitude of educational and training programs for healthcare professionals and regional residents. The region was awarded an Area Health Education Center by the South Dakota School of Medicine and will be located in Aberdeen. The award was based on applications and interviews within the State and was a collaborative effort of many healthcare and non-healthcare organizations within the region with two being 100 miles from Aberdeen.g. Avera St. Luke's is currently a Rural Referral Center. The nearest hospitals are tertiary facilities 200 miles away by ground and approximately 140 miles by air.h. Avera St. Luke's participates in many community organizations and efforts to better the region. Leadership of the organization is on boards of many exempt organizations (Salvation Army, Foundations, College/University Advisory Boards, Youth Adult Partnership of Aberdeen).i. Our Auxiliary and Volunteers provide opportunities for over 400 individuals. The Auxiliary provides annual scholarships of $500 for students entering higher education in health related fields. In fiscal year 2015, 15,200 hours of service were provided to Avera St. Luke's by volunteers which reduces costs.j. Provide assistance to small rural hospitals (Critical Access Hospitals) within the region through various programs, management agreements, computer systems, educations and other services to assist in keeping their area's patients in the local community when possible.k. Recruitment of specialists in nephrology, neurosurgery, neurology, cardiology and psychiatry to meet the region's need in order to eliminate travel of 200 miles to obtain these services.l. Development and subsidy of various rural clinics to meet needs in those communities.m. Development of a local clinic to provide primary health care (not urgent or emergency care) to individuals regardless of their ability to pay in a setting that is conducive to walk-in for a very minimal cost (about $65 - $90). This clinic is staffed by mid-level providers (PA/Nurse Practioners) and is open on weekends and certain holidays to all and insurance billing is provided.n. Chemical Addiction services on an outpatient basis are provided to the region and State. Our Worthmore program is well known and respected within the region and state and is the closest program within 150-200 miles. We contract with the State for patients who meet their qualification guidelines and work with governmental agencies within the region and State. o. Provide drug and alcohol prevention programs to the local schools through various contracts. Our involvement started when the previous provider discontinued their contract.
Part VI, Line 6:The communities in which Avera operates all have unique health and community benefit needs and in keeping with the Catholic Healthcare Association guidelines each Hospital strives to meet its community's identified needs. The Avera Central Office advocates for all on community benefit related matters of state, regional, and national importance.
