Form 990 Sch H Part II	CHILDREN'S PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN 2018: Career Readiness: Cristo Rey Jesuit High School: Children's is one of the pioneer organizations in the Twin Cities that is involved in the Cristo Rey School initiative. This program provides college preparatory schooling to inner city minority students as well as targeted work-study opportunities. Children's has provided work-study and mentor opportunities to students since 2007. The goal of this initiative is to provide real-life work experiences that will broaden our minority talent pool while allowing students to earn a portion of the cost of their education. In 2018, Children's assisted 2 students. Project SEARCH: Children's partnered with the Minneapolis Public Schools Transitions Plus program to launch Project SEARCH in 2011. We are the first healthcare organization to launch Project SEARCH in the 5 state areas. PS is a unique business-led transition program for students with disabilities to work, explore careers and develop transferable job skills, with the goal of working in a competitive environment. Designed as an unpaid internship program, Project SEARCH places students in real situations where they learn all aspects of gaining and maintaining a job. This process of immersion facilitates the teaching and learning of new work skills on-site. Individualized job development and placement occurs based on the student's experiences, strengths, and skills. A series of job rotations allow students to find positions that best suit their preferences. Students receive support with accommodations, adaptations, and on-the-job coaching via Minneapolis school employees. Children's worked with 8 Project Search students in 2018. Project for Pride in Living: PPL helps low-income people achieve self-sufficiency through housing, employment training, support services and education. Children's partners with and provides financial support to PPL in their Train to Work initiative, which has trained hundreds of people to meet entry-level staffing needs of Children's and other major area healthcare partners. Train to Work offers training in healthcare-specific details, such as medical terminology and electronic health records, as well as a job shadowing internship that has been an essential component of the program's success. The internship gives participants hands-on experience in healthcare and gives employers an opportunity to observe potential employees. In 2018, Children's sponsored 4 PPL interns. Community Support: Children's provided a number of donations to community-based organizations in 2018 to support their work in supporting community health through their mission. The work of these organizations varied, both in scope and specific focus, but broadly worked to address the many social conditions that impact health.
Form 990 Sch H Part III Line 2	BAD DEBT IS DEFINED AS THE UNPAID OBLIGATION FOR CARE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE ABLE TO PAY, BUT HAVE NOT DEMONSTRATED A WILLINGNESS TO PAY. THE AMOUNTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATIONS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY ARE DETERMINED BY A PATIENT'S WILLINGNESS TO PAY WITH A DOCUMENTED INABILITY TO PAY PER MEASURES ESTABLISHED BY OUR POLICY. BAD DEBT IS ESTIMATED BY APPLYING THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, AS CALCULATED ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, WORKSHEET 2, TO THE ACTUAL PATIENT CHARGES.
Form 990 Sch H Part III Line 3	THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES THAT TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY (BUT WERE EITHER UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY WHILE IN OUR CARE). THE ESTIMATE OF TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT IS BASED ON A REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS CLASSIFIED AS BAD DEBT AND MANAGEMENT JUDGMENT. Form 990 Sch H Part III Line 4 Effective January 1, 2018, Children's adopted ASU 2014-09 using a modified retrospective method of application to all contracts existing on January 1, 2018. For Children's hospital operations and ambulatory care segments, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 resulted in changes to our presentation for and disclosure of revenue primarily related to uninsured or underinsured patients. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, a significant portion of our provision for uncollectible accounts related to self-pay patients, as well as co-pays, co-insurance amounts and deductibles owed to us by patients with insurance. Under ASU 2014-09, the estimated uncollectible amounts due from these patients are generally considered implicit price concessions that are a direct reduction to net patient service revenue, with a corresponding reduction in the amounts presented separately as provision for uncollectible accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Children's recorded approximately $23,574 of implicit price concessions as a direct reduction of net patient service revenue that would have been recorded as provision for uncollectible accounts prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09. THE GROSS CHARGE EXPENSE IS $23,574,224, BUT CHC ESTIMATES THE COST TO BE $10,148,995. OF THAT, CHC STILL CONSIDERS 25% ($2,537,249) OF IT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE BUT NO RESPONSE RECEIVED.
Form 990 Sch H Part III Line 8	THE ORGANIZATION PRIMARILY SERVES PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AND DOES NOT GENERATE SIGNIFICANT MEDICARE REVENUES. THE ORGANIZATION FILES A MEDICARE COST REPORT ANNUALLY.

THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT REPORT ANY AMOUNTS FROM PART III, LINE 7 AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
