Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial and income tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates and laws. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The deferred income tax provision or benefit generally reflects the net change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the year. The current income tax provision reflects the tax consequences of revenues and expenses currently taxable or deductible on various income tax returns for the year reported.

Group A-Facility 1 -- Sanford USD Medical Center Part V, Section B, line 5:Sanford conducted a community health needs assessment during FY 2016 in 24 communities throughout the enterprise. Sanford Health worked in partnership with Public Health Units across the organization's footprint to develop the methodology for the 2016 CHNA. Sanford requested input from community and county leaders, public health administration, physicians, nurses, representatives from the community and representatives of diverse populations through a series of community stakeholder meetings. Sanford extended a good faith effort to engage all of the aforementioned community representatives in the CHNA process. The names of community stakeholders who participated in the CHNA process are listed in the acknowledgement section for each medical center's CHNA report.A generalizable survey was conducted of residents in the Fargo area (Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota), the Bemidji area (Beltrami County in MN), the Bismarck area (Burleigh and Morton counties in ND), and the Sioux Falls area (Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner and McCook counties in SD). A stratified random sample was obtained through a qualified vendor, to ensure that appropriate proportions from each of the counties were included.A non-generalizable on-line survey was conducted for all of the Sanford Medical Centers through a partnership between Sanford and the Center for Social Research (CSR) at North Dakota State University. The purpose of this non-generalizable survey of community leaders was to learn about the perceptions of area community leaders regarding community health, their personal health, preventive health, and the prevalence of disease. This group included community leaders, legislators, and agency leaders representing chronic disease and disparity.A Likert scale was developed to determine the respondent's highest concerns. Needs ranking 3.5 and above were included in the needs to be addressed and prioritized. Many of the identified needs that ranked below 3.5 are being addressed by Sanford. However, 3.5 and above was used as a focus for the purpose of the required prioritization. Asset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the various surveys and data sets. The process implemented in this work was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity. Each identified need was researched to determine what resources are available in the community to address the needs. An informal gap analysis was conducted to determine what needs remained after resources were researched through asset mapping. Each Sanford Health Medical Center invited community stakeholders to meet, review the findings of the research, develop the asset/resources map, and determine the key priorities to address by implementation strategies during FY 2017-2019. Individuals who were invited to attend included county commissions, city council members, school board members, and agencies representing the chronic disease groups and disparity. Community stakeholders helped to determine key priorities for their respective communities.A listing of the community stakeholders can be found in each published CHNA at: http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment Public comments and response to the community health needs assessment and the implementations strategies are welcome on the Sanford website under "About Sanford" in the Community Health Needs Assessment section. The only comment received since the publications on the Sanford website was a question asking if a CHNA was conducted in a rural area where Sanford does not have a medical center. The following community leadership members contributed their expertise with the planning, development and analysis of the community health needs assessment. Each member met multiple times during the CHNA process to guide and advise the team.-Sioux Falls Public Health-Pennington County Public Health-Beltrami Public Health-Traill County Public Health-Steele County Public Health-City of Halstad-South Dakota Department of Health-Clay County Public Health-South Dakota State University-Center for Social Research, North Dakota State University-Center for Rural Health -Burleigh County Public Health-Fargo Cass Public Health-South Dakota Department of Health-North Dakota Department of Health-North Dakota Public Health Association, in partnership with the American Indian CHNA

Group A-Facility 1 -- Sanford USD Medical Center Part V, Section B, line 11:The following information is a compilation of the identified priority needs for each community and what Sanford is doing to address the priority needs. In cases where identified needs have not been directly addressed it is because those needs fall outside of Sanford's expertise, or because Sanford is working with community partners to address the needs. The needs not addressed directly by Sanford are listed for each facility. Additional information about what Sanford is doing to address other assessed needs of the community can be found for each hospital facility at:http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessmentPriority 1: Crime/Safety - Pharmaceutical Narcotics in the CommunitySanford USD Medical Center will standardize narcotic prescribing protocols across the enterprise to reduce usage. Narcotic prescriptions will be tracked internally and areas for improvement will be identified.Priority 2: Chronic DiseaseSanford is dedicated to improving health outcomes by monitoring BMI through quality metrics and referring to internal/external services to improve the care of patients with overweight or obesity diagnosis. The Sanford fit Program will be available to all local schools, students and families in the area through the classroom modules and the fit website.

Group A-Facility 2 -- Sanford Medical Center Fargo Part V, Section B, line 5:Sanford conducted a community health needs assessment during FY 2016 in 24 communities throughout the enterprise. Sanford Health worked in partnership with Public Health Units across the organization's footprint to develop the methodology for the 2016 CHNA. Sanford requested input from community and county leaders, public health administration, physicians, nurses, representatives from the community and representatives of diverse populations through a series of community stakeholder meetings. Sanford extended a good faith effort to engage all of the aforementioned community representatives in the CHNA process. The names of community stakeholders who participated in the CHNA process are listed in the acknowledgement section for each medical center's CHNA report.A generalizable survey was conducted of residents in the Fargo area (Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota), the Bemidji area (Beltrami County in MN), the Bismarck area (Burleigh and Morton counties in ND), and the Sioux Falls area (Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner and McCook counties in SD). A stratified random sample was obtained through a qualified vendor, to ensure that appropriate proportions from each of the counties were included.A non-generalizable on-line survey was conducted for all of the Sanford Medical Centers through a partnership between Sanford and the Center for Social Research (CSR) at North Dakota State University. The purpose of this non-generalizable survey of community leaders was to learn about the perceptions of area community leaders regarding community health, their personal health, preventive health, and the prevalence of disease. This group included community leaders, legislators, and agency leaders representing chronic disease and disparity.A Likert scale was developed to determine the respondent's highest concerns. Needs ranking 3.5 and above were included in the needs to be addressed and prioritized. Many of the identified needs that ranked below 3.5 are being addressed by Sanford. However, 3.5 and above was used as a focus for the purpose of the required prioritization. Asset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the various surveys and data sets. The process implemented in this work was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity. Each identified need was researched to determine what resources are available in the community to address the needs. An informal gap analysis was conducted to determine what needs remained after resources were researched through asset mapping. Each Sanford Health Medical Center invited community stakeholders to meet, review the findings of the research, develop the asset/resources map, and determine the key priorities to address by implementation strategies during FY 2017-2019. Individuals who were invited to attend included county commissions, city council members, school board members, and agencies representing the chronic disease groups and disparity. Community stakeholders helped to determine key priorities for their respective communities.A listing of the community stakeholders can be found in each published CHNA at: http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment Public comments and response to the community health needs assessment and the implementations strategies are welcome on the Sanford website under "About Sanford" in the Community Health Needs Assessment section.

However, 3.5 and above was used as a focus for the purpose of the required prioritization. Asset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the various surveys and data sets. The process implemented in this work was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity. Each identified need was researched to determine what resources are available in the community to address the needs. An informal gap analysis was conducted to determine what needs remained after resources were researched through asset mapping. Each Sanford Health Medical Center invited community stakeholders to meet, review the findings of the research, develop the asset/resources map, and determine the key priorities to address by implementation strategies during FY 2017-2019. Individuals who were invited to attend included county commissions, city council members, school board members, and agencies representing the chronic disease groups and disparity. Community stakeholders helped to determine key priorities for their respective communities.A listing of the community stakeholders can be found in each published CHNA at: http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment Public comments and response to the community health needs assessment and the implementations strategies are welcome on the Sanford website under "About Sanford" in the Community Health Needs Assessment section.

Group A-Facility 14 -- Sanford Jackson Medical Center Part V, Section B, line 5:Sanford conducted a community health needs assessment during FY 2016 in 24 communities throughout the enterprise. Sanford Health worked in partnership with Public Health Units across the organization's footprint to develop the methodology for the 2016 CHNA. Sanford requested input from community and county leaders, public health administration, physicians, nurses, representatives from the community and representatives of diverse populations through a series of community stakeholder meetings. Sanford extended a good faith effort to engage all of the aforementioned community representatives in the CHNA process. The names of community stakeholders who participated in the CHNA process are listed in the acknowledgement section for each medical center's CHNA report.A generalizable survey was conducted of residents in the Fargo area (Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota), the Bemidji area (Beltrami County in MN), the Bismarck area (Burleigh and Morton counties in ND), and the Sioux Falls area (Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner and McCook counties in SD). A stratified random sample was obtained through a qualified vendor, to ensure that appropriate proportions from each of the counties were included.A non-generalizable on-line survey was conducted for all of the Sanford Medical Centers through a partnership between Sanford and the Center for Social Research (CSR) at North Dakota State University. The purpose of this non-generalizable survey of community leaders was to learn about the perceptions of area community leaders regarding community health, their personal health, preventive health, and the prevalence of disease. This group included community leaders, legislators, and agency leaders representing chronic disease and disparity.A Likert scale was developed to determine the respondent's highest concerns. Needs ranking 3.5 and above were included in the needs to be addressed and prioritized. Many of the identified needs that ranked below 3.5 are being addressed by Sanford. However, 3.5 and above was used as a focus for the purpose of the required prioritization. Asset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the various surveys and data sets. The process implemented in this work was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity. Each identified need was researched to determine what resources are available in the community to address the needs. An informal gap analysis was conducted to determine what needs remained after resources were researched through asset mapping. Each Sanford Health Medical Center invited community stakeholders to meet, review the findings of the research, develop the asset/resources map, and determine the key priorities to address by implementation strategies during FY 2017-2019. Individuals who were invited to attend included county commissions, city council members, school board members, and agencies representing the chronic disease groups and disparity. Community stakeholders helped to determine key priorities for their respective communities.A listing of the community stakeholders can be found in each published CHNA at: http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment Public comments and response to the community health needs assessment and the implementations strategies are welcome on the Sanford website under "About Sanford" in the Community Health Needs Assessment section.

Group A-Facility 18 -- Sanford Medical Center Mayville Part V, Section B, line 5:Sanford conducted a community health needs assessment during FY 2016 in 24 communities throughout the enterprise. Sanford Health worked in partnership with Public Health Units across the organization's footprint to develop the methodology for the 2016 CHNA. Sanford requested input from community and county leaders, public health administration, physicians, nurses, representatives from the community and representatives of diverse populations through a series of community stakeholder meetings. Sanford extended a good faith effort to engage all of the aforementioned community representatives in the CHNA process. The names of community stakeholders who participated in the CHNA process are listed in the acknowledgement section for each medical center's CHNA report.A generalizable survey was conducted of residents in the Fargo area (Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota), the Bemidji area (Beltrami County in MN), the Bismarck area (Burleigh and Morton counties in ND), and the Sioux Falls area (Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner and McCook counties in SD). A stratified random sample was obtained through a qualified vendor, to ensure that appropriate proportions from each of the counties were included.A non-generalizable on-line survey was conducted for all of the Sanford Medical Centers through a partnership between Sanford and the Center for Social Research (CSR) at North Dakota State University. The purpose of this non-generalizable survey of community leaders was to learn about the perceptions of area community leaders regarding community health, their personal health, preventive health, and the prevalence of disease. This group included community leaders, legislators, and agency leaders representing chronic disease and disparity.A Likert scale was developed to determine the respondent's highest concerns. Needs ranking 3.5 and above were included in the needs to be addressed and prioritized. Many of the identified needs that ranked below 3.5 are being addressed by Sanford. However, 3.5 and above was used as a focus for the purpose of the required prioritization. Asset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the various surveys and data sets. The process implemented in this work was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity. Each identified need was researched to determine what resources are available in the community to address the needs. An informal gap analysis was conducted to determine what needs remained after resources were researched through asset mapping. Each Sanford Health Medical Center invited community stakeholders to meet, review the findings of the research, develop the asset/resources map, and determine the key priorities to address by implementation strategies during FY 2017-2019. Individuals who were invited to attend included county commissions, city council members, school board members, and agencies representing the chronic disease groups and disparity. Community stakeholders helped to determine key priorities for their respective communities.A listing of the community stakeholders can be found in each published CHNA at: http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment Public comments and response to the community health needs assessment and the implementations strategies are welcome on the Sanford website under "About Sanford" in the Community Health Needs Assessment section.

The names of community stakeholders who participated in the CHNA process are listed in the acknowledgement section for each medical center's CHNA report.A generalizable survey was conducted of residents in the Fargo area (Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota), the Bemidji area (Beltrami County in MN), the Bismarck area (Burleigh and Morton counties in ND), and the Sioux Falls area (Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner and McCook counties in SD). A stratified random sample was obtained through a qualified vendor, to ensure that appropriate proportions from each of the counties were included.A non-generalizable on-line survey was conducted for all of the Sanford Medical Centers through a partnership between Sanford and the Center for Social Research (CSR) at North Dakota State University. The purpose of this non-generalizable survey of community leaders was to learn about the perceptions of area community leaders regarding community health, their personal health, preventive health, and the prevalence of disease. This group included community leaders, legislators, and agency leaders representing chronic disease and disparity.A Likert scale was developed to determine the respondent's highest concerns. Needs ranking 3.5 and above were included in the needs to be addressed and prioritized. Many of the identified needs that ranked below 3.5 are being addressed by Sanford. However, 3.5 and above was used as a focus for the purpose of the required prioritization. Asset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the various surveys and data sets. The process implemented in this work was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity. Each identified need was researched to determine what resources are available in the community to address the needs. An informal gap analysis was conducted to determine what needs remained after resources were researched through asset mapping. Each Sanford Health Medical Center invited community stakeholders to meet, review the findings of the research, develop the asset/resources map, and determine the key priorities to address by implementation strategies during FY 2017-2019. Individuals who were invited to attend included county commissions, city council members, school board members, and agencies representing the chronic disease groups and disparity. Community stakeholders helped to determine key priorities for their respective communities.A listing of the community stakeholders can be found in each published CHNA at: http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment Public comments and response to the community health needs assessment and the implementations strategies are welcome on the Sanford website under "About Sanford" in the Community Health Needs Assessment section.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I, Line 3c:Sanford Health does not deny care to anyone based on the ability to pay. Sanford's Financial Assistance (charity care) policy provides discounted and free services to patients who lack the resources to be fully responsible for the healthcare they receive. The Financial Assistance Policy is designed to ensure the entire community served by Sanford has access to needed healthcare services. Eligibility for discounted or free services under the Financial Assistance Policy is based on income levels and family size. Generally, individuals earning income of up to 375% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines are eligible for varying levels of discounts, including full discounts for certain income levels. Applications for coverage under the program may be obtained at any Sanford patient registration area.The primary scope of Sanford's financial assistance matrix considers family income and family size to objectively determine financial need. The family income range varies from 0-225% up to 375% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). An applicant over 375% may be eligible for some level of financial assistance based on a review of additional factors such as: the size of the account balance, debt-to-income ratio, current assets, current liabilities, IRS food expense allowances, monthly cash flow, etc.Additionally, it is possible for a family to qualify in one segment (based on income and family size alone) but be moved to a more generous (for the patient) segment based on the other financial variables mentioned above. An applicant may be denied if they have substantial assets and applicants are considered on a case by case basis.The Amount Generally Billed (AGB) discount percentage is the least amount Sanford can discount for any patient qualifying under the Sanford Financial Assistance Policy. It is the percentage used for the lowest level of assistance granted for those qualifying under the Sanford Financial Assistance Policy as listed on Appendix 1 - Sliding Discount Schedule for Assistance. Anyone else qualifying for assistance at greater levels will receive discount amounts greater than the Sanford AGB discount amount. Part I, Line 5b: Sanford as a whole did exceed its financial assistance budget for FY 2017, however, exceeding that budget did not impact the ability to serve any patients and no patients were disallowed services. The organization provided free or discounted services to patients who were eligible for free or discounted care.Part I, Line 6: Sanford Health's 2016 Community Benefit Annual Report is posted annually on the Sanford website at:http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-benefit
Part I, Line 7:The Amount Generally Billed (AGB) discount percentage is the least amount Sanford can discount for any patient qualifying under the Sanford Financial Assistance Policy. It is the percentage used for the lowest level of assistance granted for those qualifying under the Sanford Financial Assistance Policy as listed on Appendix 1 - Sliding Discount Schedule for Assistance. Anyone else qualifying for assistance at greater levels will receive discount amounts greater than the Sanford AGB discount amount. Cost to Charge Ratios are used to calculate the amounts on Line 7a - 7c (Financial Assistance, Medicaid Shortfall, and Other Means-Tested Government Programs) and also Line 7g (Subsidized Health Services) for each of the subsidiaries included in the return. All other amounts for Lines 7e, 7f, 7h and 7i would come from the books and records of specific segments of the organization and would not be based on a Cost to Charge Ratio, or similar cost accounting methodology. These costs still represent the costs to provide benefits.
Part I, Line 7g:Subsidized health services are clinical services provided to both inpatients and outpatients despite a financial loss to Sanford. Each loss has been calculated after removing losses associated with bad debts, financial assistance and Medicaid. Although these services generate overall losses to Sanford, they continue to meet the needs of the communities served. Various services that generate losses are provided by Sanford through physician practices. For FY 2017, subsidized health services provided through these physician practices generated losses of $81,851,800.
Part II, Community Building Activities:Sanford Health is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the work of health and healing for the public good. Sanford is committed to giving back to the communities in which its employees and patients live and work. Sanford invests resources in order to produce the best outcomes for patient care, education, research, and community enrichment, and partners with others to ensure that the community is a welcoming, healthy environment and one that attracts and sustains a diverse Sanford workforce to deliver the best patient care and much needed medical research. Sanford considers requests for funding and in kind support for new and ongoing programs with all areas supporting the above goals, such as basic human services, education and workforce development by recruiting physicians and other health professionals to medical shortage or underserved areas and collaborating with educational institutions to train and recruit health professionals, advocating community health improvement through efforts to support policies and programs that safeguard or improve public health and help to ensure access to health care services.
Part III, Line 2:Bad debt expense at cost is determined using the same cost to charge ratios that are used to calculate Financial Assistance and Medicaid Shortfall. Discounts and allowances are accounted for separately from Bad Debt Expense.
Part III, Line 3:It is Sanford's policy to make financial assistance available to patients who fit the financial assistance criteria. It is the organization's goal to make certain that Sanford is proactive in identification of the patients who need help with financial concerns. Financial counselors make every effort to ensure that financial assistance eligible patients do not progress to bad debt. For this reason, a dollar amount for bad debt is not included.
Part III, Line 4:The audited financial statements of Sanford do not include a bad debt footnote. Sanford reports bad debt in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Part III, Line 8:Per IRS instructions, Sanford has identified the cost associated with providing Medicare services from the Medicare cost report. The Medicare cost report calculations are total expense less expenses deemed "unallowable" per Medicare regulations. The net expense is then used to calculate the cost per day and cost to charge ratios which are multiplied by the Medicare days and ancillary charges to determine the cost of providing Medicare services. If all expenses that Sanford incurred were included on the Medicare cost report; this would show a shortfall of approximately $210,621,679. Sanford believes this shortfall should be considered community benefit because these services would need to be provided by either another charitable organization or the government if it was not provided by Sanford.
Part III, Line 9b:Sanford will provide services at no cost or reduced cost to patients who qualify for the program. Patients with incomes at or below 225% of the United States Department of Health and Human Services poverty guideline will receive a 100% reduction of their payment responsibility. Patients with income between 225% - 375% of the poverty guideline will be given a discount based on a sliding scale and assets are considered in the calculation of the income of the patient, with the exception of the patient's principal residence. Patients above 375% of the FPG will be reviewed for additional factors such as size of medical debt before a final determination. Patients must make their financial need known to appropriate personnel and be engaged in filing appropriate and complete applications. The program is available to those patients without health care benefits from any source as well as to those who have coverage for health care costs through a government program, commercial insurance, or other health benefit plan but continue to have a remaining balance after benefits have been applied to the charges. Sanford will not deny financial assistance based on race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap or age.Every effort is made to identify patients with financial need as early as possible in the revenue cycle.Sanford has zero tolerance for abusive, harassing, oppressive, false, deceptive, or misleading language of collections conduct. This zero tolerance applies to internal Sanford staff and third party collection vendors and attorneys.Neither Sanford nor any of its third party collection vendors will take any extraordinary collection efforts until Sanford and the third party collection vendor have made reasonable efforts to determine if a patient is eligible for financial assistance under the Financial Assistance Policy.
Part VI, Line 2:Sanford conducted a community health needs assessment during FY 2016 in 24 communities throughout the enterprise. Sanford Health worked in partnership with Public Health Units across the organization's footprint to develop the methodology for the 2016 CHNA. Sanford requested input from community and county leaders, public health administration, physicians, nurses, representatives from the community and representatives of diverse populations through a series of community stakeholder meetings. Sanford extended a good faith effort to engage all of the aforementioned community representatives in the CHNA process. The names of community stakeholders who participated in the CHNA process are listed in the acknowledgement section for each medical center's CHNA report.A generalizable survey was conducted of residents in the Fargo area -Cass County, North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota, the Bemidji area - Beltrami County in MN, the Bismarck area - Burleigh and Morton counties in ND, and the Sioux Falls area - Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner and McCook counties in SD. A stratified random sample was obtained through a qualified vendor, to ensure that appropriate proportions from each of the counties were included. A non-generalizable on-line survey was conducted for all of the Sanford Medical Centers through a partnership between Sanford and the Center for Social Research (CSR) at North Dakota State University. The purpose of this non-generalizable survey of community leaders was to learn about the perceptions of area community leaders regarding community health, their personal health, preventive health, and the prevalence of disease. This group included community leaders, legislators, and agency leaders representing chronic disease and disparity.A Likert scale was developed to determine the respondent's highest concerns. Needs ranking 3.5 and above were included in the needs to be addressed and prioritized. Many of the identified needs that ranked below 3.5 are being addressed by Sanford. However, 3.5 and above was used as a focus for the purpose of the required prioritization. Asset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the various surveys and data sets. The process implemented in this work was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity. Each identified need was researched to determine what resources are available in the community to address the needs. An informal gap analysis was conducted to determine what needs remained after resources were researched through asset mapping. Each Sanford Health Medical Center invited community stakeholders to meet, review the findings of the research, develop the asset/resources map, and determine the key priorities to address by implementation strategies during FY 2017-2019. Individuals who were invited to attend included county commissions, city council members, school board members, and agencies representing the chronic disease groups and disparity.Community stakeholders helped to determine key priorities for their respective communities.A listing of the community stakeholders can be found in each published CHNA at: http://www.sanfordhealth.org/about/community-health-needs-assessment Public comments and response to the community health needs assessment and the implementations strategies are welcome on the Sanford website under "About Sanford" in the Community Health Needs Assessment section. The only comment received since the publications on the Sanford website was a question asking if a CHNA was conducted in a rural area where Sanford does not have a medical center. The following community leadership members contributed their expertise with the planning, development and analysis of the community health needs assessment. Each member met multiple times during the CHNA process to guide and advise the team.-Sioux Falls Public Health-Pennington County Public Health-Beltrami Public Health-Traill County Public Health-Steele County Public Health-City of Halstad-South Dakota Department of Health-Clay County Public Health-South Dakota State University-Center for Social Research, North Dakota State University -Center for Rural Health -Burleigh County Public Health-Fargo Cass Public Health-South Dakota Department of Health-North Dakota Department of Health-North Dakota Public Health Association, in partnership with the American Indian CHNA
Part VI, Line 3:Sanford employs a variety of strategies to make certain that the organization is transparent in the communication of financial assistance guidelines. The staff at Sanford makes every effort to identify patients needing financial assistance as early in the revenue cycle as possible. All Sanford entities display signage in registration areas advising patients of their ability to request financial assistance. The signage was made available in English and Spanish. Financial Assistance applications were available in English or Spanish upon request. All healthcare workers who identify patients with financial need are encouraged to provide patients or their designees a financial application. This may include, but not be limited to the following areas: Administration, Admissions, Patient Financial Services, Financial Counselors, Social Services, Physicians, Nursing, Clinic Director, Reception staff and Human Resources.Financial Counselors are trained to work individually with patients to determine the financial need and recommend appropriate assistance in application for charity care, government programs or discounted services.Sanford's Financial Assistance Program is available to anyone who qualifies for assistance. This program ensures that all people receive the care they need, regardless of their financial situation. Sanford makes Financial Assistance information available to community agencies and referral organizations. Financial Assistance information is also available on the Sanford website at:http://www.sanfordhealth.org/patients-visitors/patient-information/financial-assistance-policyDISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH REV PROC. 2015-21 SEC. 7 IN REGARDS TO SCHEDULE H, PART V, SEC. B:Sanford has a system-wide financial assistance policy ("FAP") which covers all hospital facilities. During the tax year, Sanford's financial assistance policy ("FAP") did not include a list of the amounts generally billed ("AGB") percentage for each hospital facility. However, the FAP did include a sliding scale discount schedule which was based off the AGB calculation. The sliding scale discount ensures that no individual eligible under the FAP is charged more than AGB. To Sanford's knowledge, no individual who was eligible under Sanford's FAP was billed incorrect amounts or otherwise impacted by this error.In addition, during the tax year, the system-wide FAP did not include the provider list specifically identifying the medical providers delivering care in the hospital facility and whether the providers are or are not covered by the FAP. However, the FAP did include verbiage stating, "Financial assistance can be granted solely for services and care performed by Sanford providers. Services provided by non-Sanford physicians, providers, facilities, or organizations are not eligible for financial assistance granted through this policy." To Sanford's knowledge, no individual who was eligible under Sanford's FAP was impacted by this error.These errors were discovered in May 2017 as part of a comprehensive review of 501(r) compliance. Once the errors were discovered, Sanford took immediate action to correct the errors. An updated FAP was adopted on May 19, 2017 and was posted to Sanford's website on June 1, 2017. Separate files containing the AGB percentages and provider lists were posted on June 27, 2017. Sanford has put procedures in place to address and monitor its compliance including assigning oversight of 501(r) compliance to the Sanford internal Compliance team for monitoring adherence to this regulation. In addition, Operations has a procedure to remotely monitor the documents and hyperlinks posted on the public facing webpages anytime the pages are updated or documents replaced. This procedure ensures all public facing webpages are accessible to the public.Section 501(r) requires hospitals to accommodate all significant populations that have limited English proficiency (LEP) if such LEP language group constitutes the lesser of 1,000 individuals or 5% of the community served by the hospital facility or the population likely to be affected or encountered by the hospital facility. During the tax year, Sanford's FAP, application, and plain language summary were only available in English and Spanish. This determination was made based on the LEP language group of Sanford's patient base. During 2018, Sanford reviewed its footprint to analyze the LEP population of the entire communities served by Sanford by using all languages identified through census data. Sanford has broadened its LEP language group to include German, Hindi, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, Laotian, Vietnamese and Amharic. These additional language translations were completed and made available to the public for the appropriate communication as required by IRC Sec. 501(r) by the filing of this return. Sanford has put procedures in place to monitor translation requirements on an annual basis. To Sanford's knowledge, no individual who was eligible under Sanford's FAP was impacted by this prior method of determining the percentage or number of LEP individuals in the hospital facility's community.

Part V, Line 3a:Sanford Health, Sanford Medical Center, Sanford Clinic, Sanford North, Sanford Medical Center Fargo, Sanford Clinic North, Sanford Bismarck and Sanford Living Centers have unrelated business gross income over $1,000.
Part V, Line 4a:Sanford World Clinics has an interest in financial accounts in the foreign countries of Ghana, China and Germany.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2The following officers, board members, and key employees are employees of Sanford or its related organizations. Many of these employees also serve on other related Sanford boards, or have business relationships with each other that span the organization as a whole: Al Hurley, Allison Suttle, Bill Marlette, Bradley Schipper, Bruce Viessman, Bryan Nermoe, Cole Turner, Craig Boyer, Craig Lambrecht, Daniel Blue, Douglas Okland, Ellen Cooke, Eric Hilmoe, Jeff Sandene, Jesse Tischer, JoAnn Kunkel, Joy Johnson, Kelby Krabbenhoft, Kim Patrick, Kirk Cristy, Maria Bell, Mark Lundeen, Mark Paulson, Matthew Hocks, Michael Farritor, Michael LeBeau, Michelle Bruhn, Michelle Micka, Nate White, Paul Hanson, Paul Richard, Randy Bury, Richard Adcock, Tiffany Lawrence.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4Sanford Home Health ("SHH") bylaws were amended since the FY16 Group Form 990 was filed. The board of directors was previously comprised of three members. The change increased the number of members and appointed the members of the Sanford Medical Center's ("SMC") board as the directors of SHH. The goal was for SMC and SHH boards to be concurrent and identical.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6Sanford is governed by a Board of Trustees (BOT) that has ultimate strategic and decision making authority. The BOT delegates certain activities and responsibilities to Boards of each of Sanford's primary operating subsidiaries. The unique nature and complexity of the subsidiaries requires each to have a delegated Board with a singular entity focus. Such bodies, referred to as Boards of Directors and Boards of Governors, address matters such as credentialing, accreditation standards, developing budgets, programs and facilities on an entity-specific basis, and generally consist of individuals distinct from the BOT. These Boards function much like committees in a traditional corporate structure. The BOT then acts as a holding company Board, synthesizing and reconciling each entity's programs and budgets into a system-wide strategic plan. This structure of governance produces a significant number of trustees, governors and directors. Subsidiaries included within this group tax return consist of Sanford Health, Sanford North, Sanford Medical Center, Sanford Medical Center Fargo, Sanford Clinic, Sanford Clinic North, Sanford Health Network, Sanford Health Network North, Sanford Medical Center Thief River Falls, Sanford Medical Center Mayville, Sanford Medical Center Wheaton, Sanford Home Health, Sanford Research, Sanford World Clinics, Sanford Hillsboro, Sanford Health of Northern Minnesota, Baker Park, Inc., Sanford West, Sanford Bismarck and Sanford Living Centers. The Board of Trustees of Sanford is also the Board of Trustees for Sanford Health, Sanford North and Sanford West, and Sanford is the sole corporate member of these entities. These entities, in turn, are the sole corporate members of the subsidiaries. The actions approved by a subsidiary's Board of Directors are then approved by the Sanford Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aThe Sanford Board of Trustees appoints the board members for the Boards of Directors and Boards of Governors of the subsidiary entities.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bThe Sanford Board of Trustees approves the actions approved by the Boards of Directors and Boards of Governors of the subsidiary entities. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 10b: Sanford North, Sanford Clinic and Sanford Health Network have local chapters, branches or affiliates over which the organization has the legal authority to exercise direct or indirect supervision and control.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is prepared internally by Finance and reviewed by executive management. An external accounting firm reviews the return and prepares return highlights and key disclosures for the Board of Trustees meeting prior to the return filing date. Before the return is filed, a complete copy is provided to the current Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe annual Conflict of Interest disclosure process is managed by the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The CCO is responsible for assuring that all completed forms are returned in a timely and complete manner. Conflict of Interest questionnaires are sent to System Trustees, members of the governing boards of subsidiary entities, officers, and key employees for all entities subject to the IRS Form 990 filings. The disclosures are summarized for review by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees, pursuant to policy. This review allows: 1) The Board to acquire an awareness of financial relationships of board members and key management employees and can invoke the recusal process on a case-by-case basis if potential conflicts are implicated in Board decisions and deliberations, and, 2) Gives the Board the opportunity to seek additional information and clarification about disclosures to determine potential conflicts of interest, and how to manage them.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Executive Compensation Committee of the Sanford Board of Trustees directly engages a nationally recognized independent compensation consulting firm annually to review the total compensation arrangements of the officers and executives of the organization, including the CEO, and to report the findings to them for deliberation and action. The deliberations and actions are recorded in the minutes of the Sanford Board of Trustees. The most recent study was completed in 2017. Part VI, Line 16a: Sanford Health, Sanford Medical Center, Sanford Clinic and Sanford Clinic North have participated in joint ventures with taxable entities.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Although the organization does not maintain a website where the public can access these documents, it would respond individually to any requests or inquiries from the public for these documents.
Form 990, Part VII, Section BAmounts listed as compensation for the five highest compensated independent contractors include payments for both materials and services.
Part VIIThe Sanford Board of Trustees has ultimate governance responsibilities for each major operating entity within Sanford. In addition, a Board of Directors is established for each major operating entity. This Board has specific responsibilities delegated from the Board of Trustees. Generally these responsibilities are related to the oversight of the day to day operations of that entity.
Form 990, Part XI, line 9:Net payroll and other expenses paid on behalf of parent/affiliates -88,516,329. Net asset released for PPE acquisition 11,828,334. Pension FAS 158 67,000. Gain/Loss from divesting fully owned assets into a joint venture 7,280,131.
