DescAvera St. Luke's mission is to provide acute care and long-term healthcare services including skilled nursing, congregate living and assisted living (Medicaid certified), of which there were 15,849 acute patient days, 941 nursery patient days, 47,748 nursing home resident days, 182,281 clinic visits and 134,771 outpatient visits. Avera St. Luke's provides health care services to patients who meet certain criteria under its Charity Care Policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Since the Organization does not pursue collection of these amounts, they are not reported as patient service revenue. The amount of charges foregone for services provided under the Organization's charity care policy was approximately $6,730,644 for the year ended June 30, 2016. The estimated cost of providing these services was $2,492,802 for the year ended June 30, 2016, calculated by multiplying the ratio of cost to gross charges for the Organization by the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing charity care to its patients.Avera St. Luke's also provides community benefit health activities at less than or at no cost to support those in the area served. These activities include: donations/grants/educational scholarships, community education programs; special programs for the elderly, handicapped, and medically underserved; support for rural clinics; nursing staff for health centers serving minority populations; and a variety of broad community support activities. During the year ended June 30, 2016, specific activities included meals delivered to residential homes; senior resource programs for billing assistance; meeting facilities and programs for patients and families; assistance to health educators; emergency healthcare providers; wellness programs; and housing families of hospitalized patients.As a member of the Avera Health System, Avera St. Luke's upholds the vision of the Presentation and Benedictine Sisters to work through collaboration to provide a quality, effective health ministry and to improve the health care of individuals and our communities through a regionally integrated network of persons and institutions. Avera St. Luke's engages in activities (including a Community Health Needs Assessment) designed to improve the health of individuals and communities in response to a calling to heal the sick, the elderly, and the oppressed.Desc

Part IV, Line 2b:The organization holds funds in trust on behalf of its residents.
Part V, Line 4:The Organization's endowments consist of a portion of their interest in the net assets of the Avera Health Foundation. The Avera Health Foundation includes endowment funds which have been established for a variety of purposes. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments (if any), are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The Organization's permanently restricted endowment funds are donor restricted.
Part X, Line 2:Avera Health and most of its sponsored organizations are considered nonprofit corporations as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. These organizations are required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Avera Health and certain sponsored organizations also file an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) with the IRS to report their unrelated business taxable income. 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 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 federal Form 990T filings and taxable subsidiary returns for consolidated subsidiaries are no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013. Certain consolidated entities are subject to federal income taxes. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not material as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. The Organization paid an immaterial amount of federal and state income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 5: In late December 2015, Avera St. Luke's conducted three focus groups representing community leaders and members, health care providers, uninsured/underinsured persons and policy makers in order to discuss health care needs and concerns in Brown County. The hospital invited a vast array of individuals from all facets of the community to participate in an on-line survey and also held focus groups.Additionally, Avera St. Luke's held a focus group for approximately 20 individuals representing the uninsured and underinsured of our community. Those individuals came to us through invitations from various community programs. The hospital also held one of the focus group at the Salvation Army following their noon meal.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 11: The three major areas to focus on from the completed 2015 CHNA were dental care, health care affordability and travel and accessibility to health care. This decision was based on the severity of the issue, our current involvement in these areas and our professional outlook. Three priorities have been identified through both primary and secondary sources. Our first implementation strategy will focus on primarily on education, good dental health, accessibility (transportation), and affordability. After numerous meetings and research, we have come up with a number of steps to begin moving forward on our plan to improve education of and access to adult dental health. The subsequent points are details of Avera St. Luke's plan:1. Investigate a partnership with dentists in Brown County to determine how we can work together to improve dental care.2. Explore whether other local service and educational organizations have interest in partnering to improve dental care. 3. Develop an educational program to present at health fairs, local service clubs, etc.4. Investigate initiating a dental health campaign for the area through:5. Dedicated Resource InvestmentAccessibility to CareOur second implementation strategy, specifically as it relates to transportation is noted and will address this need in collaboration with Brown County and the City of Aberdeen in development of educational materials on what is currently available for transportation and how to access at minimal cost. Avera has formalized a Community Health Needs committee to shepherd and facilitate community collaborations with city and county officials. Avera St. Luke's commits on a yearly average $3,500 in assistance to those in need, through the provision of gas cards, tokens for community buses, taxies and in some cases bus fare to return them to their home of origin. Our long term care facility provides a shuttle to all residents for appointments and day programs, and commits $50,000 annually to this service. The Avera Foundation has granted $12,960 annually toward transportation as well.Affordable CareAnd our third implementation strategy concerning affordable care, programs are in place and will be addressed through the programs listed. With the implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act and the opening of the health insurance exchanges, along with bundled payment programs and rural Accountable Care Organization designation and through Avera MAAP (Medical Application Assistance program) a full time social worker assists patients on navigation through Medicare, Medicaid, Disability and insurance exchange programs. Access and navigation assistance to medication programs, medical equipment needs are also available.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 13h: Presumptive charity care may be applied in situations where all other avenues of financial assistance have been exhausted. The facility has the discretion to weigh extenuating circumstances when determining eligibility for and the amount of charity care to provide.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 16i: A summary of the financial assistance policy is posted in the Hospital facility's emergency rooms, waiting rooms, and admissions office and is included in the billing statement. In addition, the financial assistance policy is discussed with the patient upon admission to the facility.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 20e: If a patient is self-pay and has a large balance, an Avera patient advocate will help them apply for other forms of assistance. If they are not eligible for any other coverage, the patient is given a financial assistance application to complete and return to the facility.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 22d: The hospital facility calculated the amount generally billed under the look-back method using the lowest inpatient and outpatient combined Medicare and commercial payment rate. This rate will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis each October.
Avera St. Luke'sPart V, Section B, Line 24: Individuals eligible for financial assistance are not charged gross charges for emergency or other medically necessary care; however may be charged gross charges for elective care.

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:Our community benefit report is contained in a report prepared by Avera Health, a related organization. It is available through the website and requested mailing, and is filed with the Catholic Health Association.
Part I, Line 7:A combination of costing methodologies were used to calculate the amounts reported in the table. A cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, ratio of patient care cost-to-charges was used to calculate charity care at cost, unreimbursed Medicaid and Means-Tested Government Program expenses. Subsidized health was calculated based on actual cost/loss. For all other amounts, costs and revenues as reflected by the general ledger system were used.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):Bad debt expense of $5,400,378 is included on Form 990, Part IX, line 25, column (A) but excluded for purposes of calculating this percentage.
Part II, Community Building Activities:NATIONAL NIGHT OUT - National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement. Our local sponsors, the Aberdeen Police Department, invite local organizations to participate each year in this event held on the first Tuesday of August at Melgaard Park. A free meal is served by volunteers from many organizations and entertainment is offered all free of charge. Avera St. Luke's has participated by offering a booth with games and prizes with our focus on child safety - recent focuses have been on back to school safety with walking, bike riding and outdoor play. The event brings out around 1,500 to 2,000 children and families for a fun evening. ASPIRE/SD DEPT OF VOC REHAB - Project SEARCH providers internships for high school students in their last year of eligibility and assists in helping students attain work skills and prepare them for a job. Students are chosen for the program who are ready to join the workforce and do not have plans to go to college but have skills that would enable them to be gainfully employed. We want to assist in meeting the community workforce needs as well as help these students obtain employment vs. being our federal assistance.
Part III, Line 2:Bad debt expense is reported net of discounts and contractual allowances. A payment on an account previously written off reduces bad debt expense in the current year.Bad debt is reported at charges as recorded by the organization.
Part III, Line 3:Avera St. Luke's does not believe that any portion of bad debt expense could reasonably be attributed to patients who may qualify for financial assistance since evaluations are completed to determine those amounts due and will be reclassified from bad debt expense to charity care within 30 days following the evaluation of the amount.
Part III, Line 4:The footnote to the Organization's financial statements that describes bad debt expenses can be found on page 10 of the attached audited financial statements.
Part III, Line 8:Medicare allowable costs of care are based on the Medicare cost report. The Medicare Cost Report is completed based on the rules and regulations set forth by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Avera St. Luke's follows the CHA guidelines in reporting community benefits and therefore any Medicare shortfall (as calculated including our non-cost report entities) is excluded from our community benefit report. However, Medicare is the organization's largest payer and patients with Medicare coverage are accepted regardless of whether or not a surplus or deficit is realized from providing the services. This basis therefore means providing Medicare services promotes access to healthcare services which is a key advantage for our community.
Part III, Line 9b:If the patient qualifies for the organization's financial assistance policy for low-income, uninsured patients and is cooperating with the organization with regard to efforts to settle an outstanding bill within 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:Health care needs are assessed through various methods. Given Aberdeen is a regional center/hub and the third largest city in South Dakota, Avera St. Luke's is integrally involved with community organizations, universities/colleges, schools, state programs and local governments. Although another smaller hospital opened in Aberdeen during FY 2013, the next largest hospital is 100 miles from Aberdeen and most of the towns within our region have a population of less than 2,000. By working with all in our region, we are able to determine health needs and provide programs and solutions where possible. Our second community health needs assessment (CHNA) was completed and posted to our website by June 30, 2016. The three major areas initially highlighted for further research and comparison were dental care, health care affordability and travel and accessibility to health care.
Part VI, Line 3:The Organization utilizes various methods to inform patients about our financial assistance policy. Admitting areas have signs/posters noting charity care and financial assistance. Avera St. Luke's and Avera Health utilize the internet to address financial assistance. Social workers are in direct contact with patients and make referrals to the Business Office for financial assistance and in many cases, work directly with the patient on various government programs which may be available and help with applications. For those who receive bills for services and have concerns about their ability to pay, financial counselors work directly with them on financial assistance. We have brochures available to all and treat all without regard to their ability to pay.
Part VI, Line 4:Aberdeen is the third largest city in South Dakota. Using South Dakota estimated data for July 2015, census reflected a population of approximately 28,102. Our primary service area consists of the following counties: Brown, Marshall, Day, Faulk, Edmunds, McPherson, and Spink in South Dakota and Dickey County in North Dakota. The population of this area is approximately 64,000. Our secondary service area includes other close by counties. This large service area is due to outreach and the scope of specialty services offered by Avera St. Luke's for which if not offered, a patient would travel up to 200 miles for the same service. Given we are a rural community in the truest sense; we have a very aged population. Many of the patients within this region are Medicare age. Other than the hospital that opened in Aberdeen during FY 2013, the next closest hospitals are 40 to 100 miles away and have limited services and are Critical Access Hospitals served by limited physicians. Patient demographics within the region would indicate that after you consider those patients admitted to the smaller hospitals, the majority of the rest seek services at Avera St. Luke's and the other hospital in Aberdeen. The population in the primary service counties range from 2,337 to 38,785. South Dakota Census data estimates for 2015-2016 contains many data elements, therefore, will comment on Brown County (location of Avera St. Luke's), Spink County (second largest in primary service area with growth) and McPherson County (due to aged population). % change in Pop. % over 65 Non-White Pop. % State of SD 5.4% 15.7% 14.50%Brown County 6.2% 16.1% 9.20% Spink County 1.7% 20.1% 4.10%McPherson County -1.8% 27.7% 1.7%Median Household IncomeState of SD 50,338Brown County 52,469Spink County 49,627McPherson County 37,602As the above indicate, our region has experienced essentially little growth with the exception of Brown County and the percent over 65 years old is high compared to the State average. The high average age correlates with Medicare admissions being 45.08% of total admissions. Medicaid admissions totaled 8.23%, and newborn admissions totaled 9.22% of all admissions. In addition to Medicare and Medicaid, there is a County Indigent Program which resulted in approximately $6,225,062 of assistance at charge and was for 360 Inpatient patients and 605 Out patients.From an unemployment standpoint, South Dakota (2.4%) and our region has faired much better than the US. Within the primary service area, current unemployment rates range from a low of 2.4% in Brown County to a high of 3.5% in Day County.
Part VI, Line 5:Avera St. Luke's is a regional facility within Avera Health System. We are a health ministry cosponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of Yankton, South Dakota and the Presentation Sisters of Aberdeen, South Dakota. Our health ministry is rooted in the Gospel and requires us to make a positive impact in the lives and health of persons and communities by providing quality services guided by Christian values. Avera St. Luke's vision is to be an exceptional health care organization for patients to receive care, physicians to practice and employees to work. The Organization's values are Compassion, Hospitality and Stewardship.Our governing body consists of 17 members who are physicians, community and regional residents and Sister representatives from the Presentation and Benedictine Orders. In addition, four employees (three physicians and the CEO) serve on the board. The governing body included one Sister who represents both orders and is a System Representative. In addition to the governing body, we have two advisory boards. These include: Northern State University Business School and Salvation Army Advisory Board. Medical Staff privileges can be extended to qualified physicians based on receiving approval of their application and credentials by the Medical Dental Staff and then the Hospital governing body. The Hospital's governing body then takes into account other factors related to overall community need and how a physician would impact the Hospital's overall ability to fulfill the mission.Avera St. Luke's mission and values ensure our focus is on the patient, family, employees, physician, those in need, visitors and our region as a whole. The value of Stewardship requires the organization to use all resources in a way that fulfills the mission and values. Each year, our operating and capital budgets are based on various assumptions that in the end provide the needed resources and take into account Charity Care, patient care, technology, education, community services, employee benefit and compensation plans and programs for meeting the region's needs. All surplus funds are used and maintained to provide for both current and future needs.Specific examples of how we further our exempt purpose include but are not limited to the following:a. The only inpatient psychiatric unit within 200 milesb. Interventional Cardiology and Radiology services. These services allow us to meet patient needs when care is critical to their survival and must be delivered on a very timely basis.c. Air Ambulance to transport patients to our facility or 200 miles to tertiary facilities.d. End Stage Renal Disease program which serves our broad region with the next closest facility being 100 miles away. Additionally, we employ a full-time Nephrologist to care for the patients along with others who require intensive physician care.e. A 24 hour Emergency Room which treats all patients without regard to the ability to pay. The ER is staffed by physicians 24 hours per day.f. Provision of a multitude of educational and training programs for healthcare professionals and regional residents. The region was awarded an Area Health Education Center by the South Dakota School of Medicine and will be located in Aberdeen. The award was based on applications and interviews within the State and was a collaborative effort of many healthcare and non-healthcare organizations within the region with two being 100 miles from Aberdeen.g. Avera St. Luke's is currently a Rural Referral Center. The nearest hospitals are tertiary facilities 200 miles away by ground and approximately 140 miles by air.h. Avera St. Luke's participates in many community organizations and efforts to better the region. Leadership of the organization is on boards of many exempt organizations (Salvation Army, Foundations, College/University Advisory Boards, Youth Adult Partnership of Aberdeen).i. Our Auxiliary and Volunteers provide opportunities for over 400 individuals. The Auxiliary provides annual scholarships of $500 for students entering higher education in health related fields. In fiscal year 2016, 16,624 hours of service were provided to Avera St. Luke's by volunteers which reduces costs.j. Provide assistance to small rural hospitals (Critical Access Hospitals) within the region through various programs, management agreements, computer systems, educations and other services to assist in keeping their area's patients in the local community when possible.k. Recruitment of specialists in nephrology, neurosurgery, neurology, cardiology and psychiatry to meet the region's need in order to eliminate travel of 200 miles to obtain these services.l. Development and subsidy of various rural clinics to meet needs in those communities.m. Development of a local clinic to provide primary health care (not urgent or emergency care) to individuals regardless of their ability to pay in a setting that is conducive to walk-in for a very minimal cost (about $64 - $108). This clinic is staffed by mid-level providers (PA/Nurse Practioners) and is open on weekends and certain holidays to all and insurance billing is provided.n. Chemical Addiction services on an outpatient basis are provided to the region and State. Our Worthmore program is well known and respected within the region and state and is the closest program within 150-200 miles. We contract with the State for patients who meet their qualification guidelines and work with governmental agencies within the region and State. o. Provide drug and alcohol prevention programs to the local schools through various contracts. Our involvement started when the previous provider discontinued their contract.
Part VI, Line 6:The communities in which Avera operates all have unique health and community benefit needs and in keeping with the Catholic Healthcare Association guidelines each Hospital strives to meet its community's identified needs. The Avera Central Office advocates for all on community benefit related matters of state, regional, and national importance.
