Part IV, Line 1b:The Organization holds funds in trust on behalf of its long-term care residents. Many small dollar transactions flow in and out of this account. The account is managed by the nursing home staff. The state has strict guidelines on how these accounts are managed.
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.
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.

The following includes fiscal year 2020 actions taken.Disease prevention and maintenanceTogether with AMG-Miller, a Facebook page was created to provide education for the public.

AHCMH & AMG-Miller participate in the annual Farm & Home Show. We have a booth set up and staffed to provide and answer questions from the community. In 2020 this did not occur due to COVID. The local Wellness center offered financial discounts to those with hardships to ensure they have an opportunity to attend and exercise.Access to Specialty CareThe need for more access to specialty providers and a local dialysis program were a top priority. While we have a number of specialists who do outreach here, there is a need for more. We implemented Avera eCare implemented access to social workers for mental health servcies and continued to work with Community Counseling services from Huron. The eConsult program was started to offer visits for specialty providers within the Avera system. A business plan has been completed for a local dialysis program to be started. AMG-Miller started virtual visits in 2020 to accommodate patients needing care during COVID.
Avera Merrill Pioneer HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 11: As part of Avera Health System beginning May 1, 2019, Avera Merrill Pioneer continued to address the two needs identified in their FY2018 Implementation Strategy: obesity and chronic disease. The following includes fiscal year 2020 actions taken. These needs were addressed primarily through the Diabetic Education program and Care Coordination program. In addition, a significant emphasis is placed on chronic disease management and weight management during routine provider visits, annual physicals and annual wellness exams. A new addition is pharmacy consults for patients with chronic disease and many medications. These pharmacy consults are one on one with a licensed pharmacist to further educate patients on their medications to ensure they understand them and are taking them appropriately to best manage their chronic disease. The COVID-19 virus made addressing these community needs very challenging as it significantly limited education and in person opportunities. The following health needs/priorities emerged but will not be directly addressed by Avera Merrill Pioneer as they are beyond the scope or there is capability to address by other community organizations:1. Seatbelt and car seat safety2. Health care access3. Mental health and substance abuse

Supplemental Information Detail SupplementalInformationDetail (14 entries)

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 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. Revenue of $824,703 and costs of $2,964,267 were included for a net community benefit of $2,139,564. Our facility is the principal provider of bone marrow, pancreas and liver transplant services throughout our service area, with the clinics as a crucial component of successful pre and post-transplant care.
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: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 17 and 18.
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 $9,076,370 of Medicare losses because they are included in Schedule H, Part 1, Line 7f or 7g. Including the Medicare percentage of disallowed costs, entitites 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 $117,173,768 as opposed to a shortfall of $60,777,788.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.
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 located in a population center of over 183,000 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. The 2019 U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts data estimates 7.95% 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. Avera McKennan's Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day with board-certified emergency specialists and provides emergency care regardless of ability to pay. Avera McKennan had 34,382 Emergency Department visits in FY 2020. Operating both Fixed Wing and Helicopter medical air transports, Avera McKennan's flight teams cover a large geographic area providing state-of-the-art air transport services and access to critical care, with 2,252 flights in the past year.Health Care Clinic: In 1992, Avera McKennan established a Health Care Clinic to provide free care for people who are uninsured or underinsured in the community. The clinic is managed by a Registered Nurse and staffed by Registered Nurses, two midlevel providers, medical residents and volunteer health care providers. The goal of the clinic is to prevent or treat patients' medical conditions before they become catastrophic. The clinic averages 403 visits per month which is down from previous years primarily due to the slowdown in April and May due to Covid. 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 4,838visits in 2020, and was operated at an annual cost of $1,206,439. 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. One in three American adults have high blood pressure, but only half of them have it under control, adding to the risk of stroke, heart attack and vascular disease.Residency/Health Professions Training and Internships: In 2020, Avera McKennan had approximately 53 medical residents in training at Avera McKennan in Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Psychiatry, Geriatrics and Transitional Residency Programs offered in partnership with the University of South Dakota School of Medicine. Over 1,000 students in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant programs, medical assisting, radiology and respiratory therapy also completed clinical rotations at Avera McKennan. In non-clinical areas, Avera McKennan offers paid and nonpaid internships in the areas of research, finance, administration, therapies, exercise science and social work. Avera McKennan is currently legally affiliated with approximately 158 institutions of higher education.Patient and Community Education: Avera McKennan is a regional leader in offering educational programs for a variety of learners, leaders and employees. Utilizing advanced technology, many of these programs are provided electronically throughout the tri-state area. Educational sessions are offered to medical staff, employees, health care professionals, students at all levels and the general public. Utilizing Avera McKennan's Education Center, a broad cross-section of classes involving diverse audiences are provided as a community service each year.1. Online resources: Avera McKennan offers vast free patient educational online resources on its public website on numerous health topics, with suggestions for lifestyle change, behavior modification and management for improved health.2. To Be Well free education events were held on topics including orthopedics, cancer, diabetes, weight loss/healthy eating, multiple sclerosis, anxiety and acupuncture. 3. Forums: The Avera Behavioral Health Center offers free Friday Forums, in which school counselors and therapists are invited to presentations on children's mental health topics such as conflict cycles, reactive attachment disorder, depression and bipolar disorder in children, and teen substance use, abuse and addiction. 4. The Avera Behavioral Health Center offers free monthly educational sessions on various topics followed by discussion for adults who have been impacted by a loved one's mental illness. Topics have included grief and loss, anxiety, and parenting strategies for managing challenging behaviors.5. Women's & Children's Services: Avera McKennan's Women's & Children's Services offers a number of parenting and community education opportunities, for free or at a minimal cost. In fiscal year 2020, 67 childbirth education classes were held with 190 attendees. The childbirth education classes moved to online classes only for March June 2020 due to Covid. A total of 4 parent and family education classes were held with 46 attendees. Due to Covid, Family Life Education classes were cancelled for March June 2020. A total of 49 car seats were issued through the South Dakota Child Safety Seat Distribution Program. Free burn education was provided to 2,988 students during presentations in schools.6. Daycare training: Free of charge, Avera McKennan offers two in-service training sessions per month to daycare providers through EmBe, with a total of 16 scheduled annually, and additional sessions for requested topics. Support groups: Avera McKennan offers approximately 10 free support groups. They range in topic from cancer to liver disease, diabetes, bone marrow transplant, stroke and grief and loss. The organization provides free meeting space as well as speakers and leaders. Information and Assistance: Avera McKennan operates a 24-hour Medical Call Center, through which patients have access to nurse triage at no cost to the patient. Patients can call a toll-free number and talk personally with a Registered Nurse to ask health questions or receive general health information. Avera McKennan's web site also provides an extensive health library that consumers can access free of charge.Interpreter service: Avera McKennan employs two full-time Spanish interpreters in-house, and their services are offered to patients free of charge. In addition, in cooperation with external agencies, Avera McKennan is able to handle 210 different languages and dialects through phone, video remote interpreting and other means. Interpretation services are available for patients when they are at Avera McKennan in person, or when they call by phone. All the above services are provided at no cost to the patient.Transport to Transplant: Avera McKennan developed the Transport to Transplant project, which removes transportation barriers for patients from rural areas which may prevent them from completing the evaluation and testing needed for kidney and/or pancreas transplant. 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.
Part VI, Line 6:Avera is a sponsored ministry of the Benedictine and Presentation Sisters. The communities in which Avera operates all have unique health and community benefit needs. In keeping with the Catholic Healthcare Association guidelines, each hospital strives to meet its community's identified needs. The corporate staff of Avera Health advocates for all members regarding community benefit related matters of state, regional and national importance.
Part VI, Line 5, continued:Avera Family Wellness: This program is designed to support families and children in need of early intervention mental health services. The families have direct access to mental health services when needed. This program combines positive activities like mental health therapy (our therapists are specifically trained in dealing with high need families, a variety of play therapies and addressing issues of childhood trauma), psychiatry, family and school coordination and classroom enrichment services. Referrals come from the early childhood program, as well as our four partner elementary schools. The goal is to lessen the number of adverse childhood experiences to improve the chances for children living in poverty to be successful in school and in life. Families with the most difficult situations are being referred by the school district. We did see a decrease in demand for services, a direct result of the schools closing and the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020. We have plans to increase our staff to grow this program as we will see now more than ever, there is a need for these services due to the impact of COVID-19 and other stressors in our community, schools and families. The Walsh Family Village: This hospitality house complex adjacent to the Avera McKennan campus provides a home away from home for patients and their families who come for care at Avera McKennan from outside of Sioux Falls. The project was funded by donations and is operated by Avera McKennan. Eleven guest rooms are available. Avera McKennan also donates use of a building in the complex for a Ronald McDonald House for families of pediatric patients. If they can afford it, guests are charged a low fee per night. Guests are not turned away due to inability to pay the fee. Employees regularly donate non-perishable food items to stock a food pantry for guests. In fiscal year 2020, the Walsh Family Village served 6,892 guests, staying in 4,007 nightly rooms, an 99.73 percent occupancy. Avera McKennan provides a subsidy of approximately $216,716 per year to operate the hospitality complex.

Community Connections: Avera McKennan reaches out to people and communities throughout eastern South Dakota, southwestern Minnesota and northwest Iowa through Home Town Connections.

Artists donate sculptures for one year, which are placed at locations throughout Avera McKennan's campus, in buildings connected by skywalks. Brochures contain a map, and visitors who follow the route suggested walk approximately 1 mile, making this a healthy as well as a cultural journey.Community Benefits: Avera McKennan provides additional community benefits including: support of youth programs; homeless programs; community arts programming; health prevention; awareness and education about cancer, heart disease and other conditions; and support of the Sioux Empire United Way and other services in the region.
