Part IV, Line 2b:The Organization holds funds on behalf of its residents.
Part V, Line 4:The Organization's endowment consists of a portion of their interest in the net assets of 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. The Organization currently does not have any board designated endowment funds. The endowment fund calculation was changed in current year and all amounts for prior years have been updated to properly reflect the new calculation.
Part X, Line 2:Avera Health and its sponsored organizations believe that they have 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.

Avera Flandreau Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 11: The community health needs assessment was completed during fiscal year 2022. Two needs were identified in the CHNA: access to healthcare through affordability and chemical dependency. Access to Healthcare through Affordability - Avera is compliant with the Health Care Price Transparency Act and provides its pricing information to the public via its website. Avera has recently begun to provide out-of-pocket cost estimates for scheduled patients who will be paying for services with their own resources (not using a third-party payer). This process provides patients an estimate of what they will be responsible for after their visit. Avera is also nearing completion of a more automated process for all patients in which they will have an estimate of out-of-pocket costs they will incur for scheduled visits to Avera Flandreau Hospital and Avera Medical Group-Flandreau. - Avera offers charity care to those eligible for the service and for those who complete the necessary paperwork. Opportunities may exist to create greater awareness and greater ease of use of this process.Chemical Dependency Services - In 2020 Avera built the Avera Addiction Care Center in Sioux Falls. It is a residential addiction treatment facility, which offers programming and residential life for adults 18 and older. It is hoped that the expansion of services will create greater access to chemical dependency services. - Avera Behavioral Health Urgent Care is another possible resource to address chemical dependency situations in a timely manner. - The Avera Behavioral Health Assessment Team is available to our patients 24/7; this is a free service to the public. - Moody County Cares mental health board is community based and run by county residents. Avera Flandreau employees are active on the mental health board and will look for ways to partner toward meeting our goal. - The opportunity exists to partner with Flandreau area law enforcement such as the Flandreau Police Department, Moody County Sheriff, and the Santee Sioux Tribal Police. FY2023 Update: Avera Flandreau continued to improve public awareness of health care services options for individuals dealing with mental health concerns or chemical dependency. Avera Flandreau provides space in the clinic for a community mental health counselor and routinely makes referrals to this professional. The mental health professional comes to Avera Flandreau twice a month. Avera Flandreau Hospital provides financial support for the Hope Squad for education on suicide prevention through the Flandreau High School. The hope-squad program is an educational-school based, peer to peer curriculum. Their goals are preventing suicide through public awareness and education, reducing the stigma, and serving as a resource to those touched by suicide.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
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 6a:The community benefit report is prepared by a related organization, Avera Health, and is available to the public at https://www.avera.org/about/annual-report/.
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 and behavioral health services are included in subsidized health services. Revenue of $9,895,282 and costs of $19,630,517 were included for a net community benefit of $9,735,235. Our facility is the principal provider of bone marrow, pancreas, kidney and liver transplant services throughout our service area, with the clinics as a crucial component of successful pre- and post-transplant care. Similarly, our behavioral health clinics are key supports to patients whether as primary care for behavioral health needs or support in conjunction with inpatient treatment.
Part II, Community Building Activities:The community building activities include monetary assistance to organizations that focus their efforts on providing 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:The amount on line 2 represents implicit price concessions. The Organization determines its estimate of implicit price concessions based on its historical collection experience with the respective class of patients and residents.
Part III, Line 4:The footnote to the Organization's financial statements that describes implicit price concession is located in the audited financial statement report on pages 19 and 20.
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 removes 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 $11,175,214 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 $134,154,604 as opposed to a shortfall of $18,766,263.
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 community health workers, community health program leaders, community non-profit leaders, school district officials, state health department officials, and community health organizations. Leaders also serve on boards of various community organizations which seek to address the health and well-being of community members. Local governing boards of outlying facilities, who are members of the community, discuss and help direct resources to areas of targeted needs as well.
Part VI, Line 3:Uninsured patients who hold an inpatient status are counseled by a Patient Advocate to screen them for coverage eligibility and to assist in payer source enrollment. Those that are not eligible are provided a charity care application along with instructions on how to fill out the application. All patients receive statements that indicate who to contact should they need financial assistance. In addition, all patients receive a summary of financial assistance upon registration, as well as in their final statement. Should a patient contact Patient Financial Services and indicate inability to pay, they are transferred to a financial counselor to assist them with the financial assistance application process. Also, inpatient and same day surgery patients receive a brochure in their admissions packet. Pre-collection letters also include information regarding the financial assistance and uninsured programs.
Part VI, Line 4:Avera McKennan's service area is a largely rural population. Services are provided through a health care network of clinics, critical access hospitals and tertiary facilities covering communities in four states. The main tertiary facility is in a population center of over 196,500 served by another non-profit hospital of similar size, Veterans Administration Hospital, a hospital dedicated to diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, and a hospital for children with special health care needs. Outside of this population center, most of the communities served have less than 4,000 residents. The primary service area includes four counties covering approximately 2,600 square miles and contains seven federally designated medically underserved communities. Per the 2021 U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts data, an average of 8.075% of residents in the primary service area are at or below the poverty level. Our secondary service area covers an additional 17 counties in South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota.
Part VI, Line 5:Surplus funds are reinvested in facilities to improve patient care.Medical staff privileges are extended to all qualified physicians in the community. The Avera McKennan Board of Trustees is principally comprised of community members from the primary service area. Members come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from private industry and banking to healthcare.Avera McKennan is a verified Level II trauma center and was the first such Center in the State of South Dakota.

The clinic provides preventative care, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries, medication assistance and assistance in obtaining specialist care for patients with complex cases. The clinic also serves to train physicians, nurses, and other health care students. It provides a free evening clinic one evening per month, staffed by medical students under supervision of physicians. Avera McKennan is the only health care organization to provide free services such as this in the state of South Dakota. The clinic had 4,499 visits in 2023 and was operated at an annual cost of $1,162,224. Partnership in Live Well Sioux Falls: The City of Sioux Falls received a Community Health Transformation Grant from the South Dakota Department of Health, sparking a project to improve the health and well-being of the citizens of Sioux Falls. Guided by the City of Sioux Falls Health Department, this ongoing project is known as Live Well Sioux Falls. It involves more than 24 community partner organizations. Among these partners are Avera McKennan and the other major health care system in Sioux Falls, Sanford Health. Avera plans to work in partnership with the City of Sioux Falls and Sanford Health to address the priorities of Live Well Sioux Falls and arrive at solutions which are collaborative in nature.Avera McKennan collaborates with Live Well Sioux Falls to promote the Big Squeeze, a hypertension initiative in April to promote blood pressure screening and education, with the goal of diagnosing high blood pressure.

A van funded through a grant from the Avera McKennan Foundation is used to transport patients who demonstrate a financial need. Patients are brought to the Avera Transplant Institute for a condensed multi-day evaluation with all testing and visits completed in less than one week. Ultimately, the project results in improved morbidity and mortality, as kidney transplant doubles patient survival as compared to remaining on dialysis.Continued below.
