Desc	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING - CHARITY CARE AND MEDICAID CHRISTUS ADHERES TO THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION'S A GUIDE FOR PLANNING AND REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT (2012) AND COMPLIES WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING. COMMUNITY BENEFIT, REPORTED AS UNPAID COSTS, INCLUDES BOTH CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES. TO THE LIMITS OF ITS RESOURCES, CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN INSTITUTION OF PURELY PUBLIC CHARITY; THUS, THE MOST TANGIBLE EXPRESSION OF CHRISTUS HEALTH'S CHARITABLE PURPOSE IS THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THOSE PERSONS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY. THIS FALLS INTO TWO CATEGORIES: CHARITY CARE AND UNPAID GOVERNMENT INDIGENT CARE. IN KEEPING WITH THE MISSION, VALUES, AND VISION OF CHRISTUS HEALTH, CHRISTUS HEALTH SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA PROVIDES CHARITY CARE SERVICES IN A MANNER THAT RESPECTS THE DIGNITY OF THE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT A CHARGE THAT IS LESS THAN THE USUAL CHARGE FOR SUCH SERVICES. THE DETERMINATION AS TO THE AMOUNT TO BE CHARGED, IF ANY, IS MADE ACCORDING TO A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY AS DETERMINED BY THE ESTABLISHED ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES PLACE THEM AT OR UNDER 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL), SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF PAYMENT. UNINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES PLACE THEM BETWEEN 200 AND 400 PERCENT OF FPL ARE CHARGED BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE, AND THOSE ABOVE 400 PERCENT RECEIVE DISCOUNTS BASED ON THE UNINSURED FEE SCHEDULE. NO PATIENT IS REFUSED NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY. CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE STATES OF TEXAS AND LOUISIANA MEDICAID PROGRAMS. THOSE PROGRAMS SEEK TO PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO MEET CERTAIN FINANCIAL AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS. FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE EVALUATION OF BOTH ASSETS AND INCOME.

SWLA IS COMPRISED OF ALLEN PARISH, BEAUREGARD PARISH, CALCASIEU PARISH, CAMERON PARISH, AND JEFFERSON DAVIS PARISH. The input from the community was received via phone interviews with key constituents, face-to face focus group discussions with key community leaders, and community forums open to the general public. THE MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS CAN BE FOUND IN CALCASIEU PARISH (192,768-66% OF SWLA'S TOTAL). CALCASIEU PARISH CONTAINS THE LARGEST CITY IN SWLA, LAKE CHARLES.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7A THE URL FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS: HTTP://WWW.CHRISTUSHEALTH.ORG/CHNA-CHIP SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 10A THE URL FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S MOST RECENTLY ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IS: HTTP://WWW.CHRISTUSHEALTH.ORG/CHNA-CHIP SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 CHRISTUS ST. PATRICK, AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, COMMITTED TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS COMMUNITY: ACCESS TO CARE, PREVENTION, RENAL, OBESITY, SMOKING, DIABETES, MENTAL HEALTH, HEART DISEASE. THERE ARE NOT ANY SIGNIFICANT NEEDS THAT IT IS NOT ADDRESSING. The access to care & other chronic diseases including prevention are addressed via School Based Health Centers, Community Care Workers, health fairs and education sessions, use of smoking cessation programs. Obesity is a focus for the school based health centers. Mental health needs are being addressed with hospital resources and in collaboration with Community resources. SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13B DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE Under the hospitals policy, patients who were uninsured and met certain financial criteria were eligible for financial assistance. The policy also provided for assistance for medically indigent patients. In general, patients who were below 200% of federal poverty guidelines received free care. Patients who were uninsured and above 200% of the federal poverty guideline were billed rates consistent with amounts generally billed to commercial payers. Patients who were uninsured and between 200% and 400% of federal poverty guidelines could apply for additional assistance to pay amounts less than AGB.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 15e	explanation of methods for applying for financial assistance In addition to regular applications, the hospital also assessed patients for presumptive eligibility to facilitate giving assistance to needy patients. The hospital implemented electronic eligibility tools that used patient demographic data, credit reports, and other publicly available information to estimate a patients income, assets, and liquidity. Patients were screened as part of the collection attempt process. When electronic screening was used as the basis for presumptive eligibility, the highest discount of full free care was granted for eligible services for retrospective dates of service only. If a patient did not qualify under the electronic enrollment process, the patient could still be considered under the traditional financial assistance application process. SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 16A THE URL FOR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTENCE POLICY IS: http://www.christushealth.org/CharityCare SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 16I HOW THE HOSPITAL FACILITY PUBLICIZES THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY The hospital posted signs to inform patients about the availability of charity care in the Emergency Department, lobby, and admissions areas. (The signs did not specifically reference the policy (FAP), which is why the hospital did not select Yes in response to Line 16f.) In addition, a summary of the policy and documents needed to apply for assistance was widely available at www.christushealth.org/charitycare. (This website was the first result in Google when patients searched for the hospital name and charity care or financial assistance.) Effective July 1, 2016, the individual hospitals homepage had a conspicuous Financial Assistance link directing patients to the Charity Care homepage. Financial counselors also publicized the availability of financial assistance during one-on-one visits with inpatients. The hospital attempted to provide all uninsured patients with financial counseling. Spending time face-to-face with inpatients allowed counselors to facilitate the application process for patients who otherwise might not have sought assistance. Counselors helped complete financial assistance applications and evaluate payment plans for outstanding balances. Uninsured patients were screened for Medicaid eligibility, and counselors also assisted eligible patients in completing those applications. Payment expectations are not communicated until services are rendered.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 17	DID THE HOSPITAL FACILITY HAVE IN PLACE DURING THE TAX YEAR A SEPARATE BILLING AND COLLECTIONS POLICY, OR A WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY THAT EXPLAINED ACTIONS THE HOSPITAL FACILITY MAY TAKE UPON NON-PAYMENT? The hospital did not engage in any extraordinary collection actions during the tax year. The policy strictly prohibited taking legal action against patients and also forbade placing a lien on the patients home. In the event of nonpayment, the hospital and its collections groups would send statements and make phone calls.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20	efforts made before taking extraordinary collection actions When collection calls resulted in patient contact, business agents performed a verbal screening to see if the patient might be eligible for charity care. In addition, billing statements contained the following notice: You may qualify for financial assistance based upon your income level. If you do not qualify and cannot make payment in full, we will work with you to set up an acceptable payment plan. SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22D DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNTS THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS FOR EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. The hospital used the average commercial insurance reimbursement rate from fiscal year ending 6/30/09 to determine amounts generally billed to patients with insurance. This average rate was the average reimbursement received for categories of services from all private insurers that reimburse hospitals across the CHRISTUS Health system, except for St. Vincent and long-term hospitals, and excluding implant and drug contribution dollars. All uninsured patients were charged no more than the average reimbursement rate for the relevant service line. Patients eligible for additional financial assistance were charged 70% of the average rate (for income levels from 301% to 400% of FPL), 50% of the average rate (for income levels from 201% to 300% of FPL) or received free care (incomes below 200% FPL). For lab services, eligible patients were charged a percentage of the Medicare rate.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 5	budgeted charity care The organization budgets charity care for internal financial review purposes only. The provision of charity care is not limited to amounts established for budgetary purposes. SCHEDULE H, Part I, Line 6a Annual Community Benefit Report A REPORT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS INCLUDED IN A WRITTEN ANNUAL REPORT FOR CHRISTUS HEALTH, THE ORGANIZATION'S PARENT COMPANY. CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN INTERNATIONAL, CATHOLIC, FAITH BASED, NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM FORMED IN 1999 WITH A MISSION "TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST." THE ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT SUMMARIZES ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS CONDUCTED DURING THE PAST YEAR TO IMPROVE HEALTH INCLUDING PROACTIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES. HOWEVER, THE ANNUAL REPORT IS ONLY A SNAPSHOT OF HOW THE ORGANIZATION DISTINGUISHES ITSELF IN ITS VISION TO BE A LEADER, A PARTNER, AND AN ADVOCATE IN CREATING INNOVATIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SOLUTIONS THAT IMPROVE THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES. SCHEDULE H, Part I, Line 7, column (f) Percent of Total Expense TOTAL EXPENSE FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) IS $149,761,798. THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT IS $5,823,151. THIS LEAVES A TOTAL EXPENSE OF $143,938,647 FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F). SCHEDULE H, Part I, Line 7, Column (f) Description of Financial Assistance and Other Community Benefits as Percentage of Total Costs THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AS REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7K, COLUMN (C) AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL EXPENSE IS 9.33% WHICH EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7K COLUMN (F) WHICH IS COMPUTED USING NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE. SCHEDULE H, Part I, Line 7I CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS CHRISTUS HEALTH SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA MADE OVER $1,212,915 IN CASH AND IN KIND CONTRIBUTIONS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2016. THE AFOREMENTIONED AMOUNT IS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH REPORTING RULES FOR SCHEDULE H, WORKSHEET 8. AS SUCH THIS AMOUNT DIFFERS FROM GRANTS REPORTED AT FORM 990, SCHEDULE I, GRANTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE TO ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, AND INDIVIDUALS AND PART IX, LINES 1 THROUGH 3 GRANTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE. CHRISTUS HEALTH ESTABLISHED THE CHRISTUS FUND, A GRANT FUND TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO NONPROFIT AGENCIES AND GROUPS WHOSE VISION, MISSION, AND GOALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHRISTUS HEALTH'S MISSION, VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY. THE GRANT DOLLARS WERE USED TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THAT CHRISTUS HEALTH SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA SERVES. ALL GRANTS MADE TO OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH THE CHRISTUS FUND ARE MADE TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THESE GRANT DOLLARS ARE NOT INCLUDED ON SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7(I). INDIGENT FUNDING EXPENSE OF $1,200,610 IS INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7(I).

SCHEDULE H, PART II	Community Building Activities THE CHRISTUS HEALTH ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT IS WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL POLICY MAKERS TO ENSURE ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS ARE IN PLACE THAT WILL ENHANCE PUBLIC HEALTH AND ADVANCE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MAIN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT ARE IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, ENHANCING PUBLIC HEALTH, AND ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE. THE COMMUNITY PRIORITIES FOR THE AREA INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY BY INCREASING THE WELLNESS OF THE POPULATION; KEEPING THE COMMUNITY FREE OF DISEASES AND CONTROLLABLE HEALTH CONDITIONS; ASSISTING THE COMMUNITY WITH RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS' DAY-TO-DAY CARE AND HEALTH NEEDS; PROVIDE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND RESOURCE INFORMATION FOR SELF CARE; EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY TO BECOME MORE AWARE OF ITS MEMBERS' HEALTH NEEDS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES; AND PROMOTE AVOIDABLE INJURY FOR THE FIVE PARISHES SERVED.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 1	Bad Debt Reporting in Accordance with HFMA Statement 15 CHRISTUS HEALTH FOLLOWS IN PRINCIPLE HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION STATEMENT NO. 15. THE SYSTEM HAS ADOPTED AN UNCOMPENSATED CARE POLICY WHERE REVENUE FROM SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE UNINSURED IS RECOGNIZED AT THE TIME OF PAYMENT, RATHER THAN AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS POLICY IS THE RESULT OF A LACK OF REASONABLE ASSURANCE OF COLLECTION FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE UNINSURED DUE TO THE SYSTEM'S HISTORICALLY LOW COLLECTION RATE. MANAGEMENT HAS ESTIMATED THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECORDING REVENUE FROM THE UNINSURED ON A CASH BASIS, RATHER THAN THE ACCRUAL BASIS, IS IMMATERIAL. ACCORDINGLY, ALL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM THE UNINSURED HAVE BEEN FULLY RESERVED IN THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOMPENSATED CARE. SCHEDULE H, Part III, Section A, Line 2 Methodology Used in Determining Bad Debt THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (TOTAL OF ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES) IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WHICH IS COMPUTED AS BAD DEBT NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE, PAYMENTS RECEIVED AND RECOVERIES OF BAD DEBT PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN OFF. SCHEDULE H, Part III, Section A, Line 3 ESTIMATE OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY THE FILING ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THAT SOME PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO SEEK FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO BARRIERS SUCH AS EDUCATIONAL LEVEL, LITERACY, DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS, OR BEING INTIMIDATED BY THE APPLICATION PROCESS. IN ORDER TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT HAVE NOT SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION, THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGED PARO DECISION SUPPORT, LLC. PARO CHARITY SCORE IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS THAT LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON A PREDICTIVE MODEL AND OTHER FINANCIAL AND ASSET ESTIMATES FOR THE PATIENT DERIVED FROM PUBLIC RECORD SOURCES. IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS THAT WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WERE ESTABLISHED BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL DATA OF CHRISTUS HEALTH AND ITS RELATED ORGANIZATIONS: 1. PARO SCORE OF LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 586, WHICH IS A PREDICTOR DEFINING THE LIKELY SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS FOR THE PATIENT; 2. ESTIMATED FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL OF LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 226%, WHICH IS BASED ON ESTIMATED HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND HOUSEHOLD ESTIMATED INCOME; AND 3. THIRD PARTY DATA AVAILABLE ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH INDICATE THAT THE PATIENT IS NOT A HOMEOWNER OR A PROBABLE HOMEOWNER. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011, THE ORGANIZATION REPORTED THAT 30% OF BAD DEBT EXPENSES WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT WERE NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS EXISTING AT THAT TIME. THIS FIGURE WAS BASED ON THE PARO ANALYSIS AND ESTIMATES OF PATIENTS' FINANCIAL NEEDS THAT EXAMINED WHETHER PATIENTS WERE CHARACTERISTIC OF OTHERS WHO HISTORICALLY QUALIFIED FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE TRADITIONAL APPLICATION PROCESS. THE PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE ANALYSIS PERFORMED FOR THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR DETERMINED A BENCHMARK OF BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS IN THE CHRISTUS HEALTH SYSTEM THAT LACKED THE INFORMATION TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S CUSTOMARY PROCESS BUT WOULD HAVE LIKELY QUALIFIED FOR ASSISTANCE. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2016, THE ORGANIZATION UTILIZED THE PARO SCORE TO IDENTIFY THE ACCOUNTS OF INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS THAT WERE LIKELY ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DESPITE HAVING NOT COMPLETED AN APPLICATION, AND SUCH ANALYSIS DETERMINED THAT 28.51% OF SUCH ACCOUNTS WERE LIKELY ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE ORGANIZATION GRANTED PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY FOR THESE ACCOUNTS AND THEY WERE RECLASSIFIED UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THESE AMOUNTS WERE NOT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT. THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE BENCHMARK ESTABLISHED IN THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011 AND THE AGGREGATE OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE ORGANIZATION GRANTED PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2016. THUS, THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES THAT ONLY 28.5% OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSES IN FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2016 ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY HAVE QUALIFIED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE FIGURE CALCULATED FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011 WAS ESTIMATED AND NOT EXACT, AND THEREFORE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNTS QUALIFIED AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE IN ANY FISCAL YEAR MAY VARY FROM THE BENCHMARK ESTABLISHED IN FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011. SCHEDULE H, Part III, Section A, Line 4 Bad Debt Expense Footnote THE FOOTNOTE TO THE CHRISTUS HEALTH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SAYS, "THE PREPARATION OF THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN CONFORMITY WITH ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES (U.S. GAAP) REQUIRES MANAGEMENT OF THE SYSTEM TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, ESTIMATES, AND JUDGMENTS THAT AFFECT THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO, AND RELATED DISCLOSURES OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, IF ANY. THE SYSTEM CONSIDERS CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES TO BE THOSE THAT REQUIRE MORE SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: RECOGNITION OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES, WHICH INCLUDE CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES AND THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT; ESTIMATES FOR REIMBURSEMENT UNDER THE UPPER PAYMENT LIMIT, DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE AND MEDICAID 1115 WAIVER PROGRAMS; RESERVES FOR LOSSES AND EXPENSES RELATED TO HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL AND GENERAL LIABILITIES; ACCRUALS FOR CLAIMS INCURRED BUT NOT YET REPORTED RELATED TO THE SYSTEM'S HEALTH PLANS; DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS; DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE OF CERTAIN GOODWILL AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS, including assets acquired; AND RISKS AND ASSUMPTIONS FOR MEASUREMENT OF PENSION AND RETIREE MEDICAL LIABILITIES. MANAGEMENT RELIES ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE AND ON OTHER ASSUMPTIONS BELIEVED TO BE REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN MAKING ITS JUDGMENT AND ESTIMATES. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THESE ESTIMATES." SCHEDULE H, Part III, Section B, Line 8 Extent to which shortfall should be treated as community benefit Costing Methodology THE SHORTFALL ON PART III, LINE 7 IS NOT COUNTED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE AMOUNT ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 6 IS DETERMINED BY CALCULATING MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS USING WORKSHEET A OF THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. WORKSHEET A OF THE MEDICARE COST REPORT REQUIRES THE ORGANIZATION TO REMOVE NON-ALLOWABLE EXPENSES FROM TOTAL EXPENSES VIA THE ADJUSTMENTS TO EXPENSES WORKSHEETS WITHIN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 6 DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE FILING ORGANIZATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S PROVISIONS OF SERVICES TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7 WOULD EQUAL A SHORTFALL OF $13,921,148 IF TOTAL EXPENSES ALLOCABLE TO MEDICARE SERVICES WERE SUBSTITUTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 6. SCHEDULE H, Part III, Section C, Line 9b Collection Policy IT IS THE POLICY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO PURSUE COLLECTIONS OF PATIENT BALANCES FROM PATIENTS WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES. CHRISTUS HEALTH APPLIES ITS COLLECTION EFFORTS CONSISTENTLY AND FAIRLY TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE. IF A PATIENT DOES NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THEIR OUTSTANDING BALANCES, THE GOAL OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO QUALIFY THESE PATIENTS THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY POLICY OR SCREEN THE PATIENTS THROUGH ORGANIZATION'S PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY TESTS. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES UNDER EITHER POLICY THE ACCOUNT WILL BE WRITTEN OFF BASED UPON LEVEL OF QUALIFICATION. THESE POLICIES SUPPORT THE MISSION AND VISION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ARE APPROVED BY SENIOR LEADERSHIP.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2	Needs Assessment THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY HEALTH PLAN WAS DEVELOPED BASED ON A NEEDS ASSESSMENT DONE IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, CHURCHES, REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, STATE LEGISLATORS, PHYSICIANS, UNITED WAY, PRIVATE BUSINESS PERSONS, LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. CHRISTUS HEALTH SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA CONTINUES TO IDENTIFY THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS IN TWO WAYS: ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND EARLY SCREENINGS AND DETECTION SERVICES. THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED SEVEN (7) PRIORITIES FOR THE FUTURE: 1. BETTER ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERSINSURED IN OUTLYING PARISHES. 2. ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THOSE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISORDERS, ESPECIALLY DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS. 3. EDUCATION AND TREATMENT OF DIABETES. 4. ADDRESSING ACCESS TO CARE AND TREATMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WITH END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE. 5. ADDRESSING HIGHER THAN STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGE OF PERSONS THAT ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. 6. ADDRESSING HIGHER THAN AVERAGE USE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS. 7. ADDRESSING LOWER THAN STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGE OF PERSONS THAT REPORT RECEIVING THE SEASONAL FLU VACCINE.

Explanation	Description of Organization's Procedures for Monitoring the Use of Grants The Organization follows CHRISTUS Health Management Directive No. 0006, "ContrIbutions/Donations to Other Organizations". Before any donation is made, two criteria are addressed: (1) Organization Test and (2) IRS Test. The organization test ensures that donations are exclusively for charitable, scientific, educational, and religious purposes, and in furtherance of our purpose of supporting the healing ministry of Jesus Christ and advancing, promoting, and supporting the healthcare ministries of the Sponsoring Congregations. Contributions can be made to support CHRISTUS System members and to other qualifying tax-exempt organizations, particularly those designed to support and benefit the poor and underserved. The organization considered for donations must be an IRS Section 501(c)(3) organization and documentation to that effect obtained. To satisfy the IRS test, contributions given must be dedicated to achieving charitable purposes not for personal benefit, but for public benefit. Contributions are prohibited to organizations that contribute to political campaigns, candidates for office, or conduct more than incidental lobbying. Documentation must support how the donation meets organizational purposes and furtherance of mission. Donations should be modest in scope. The filing organization provides indigent funding grants to the counties in which it serves via grants paid to other hospitals and healthcare organizations located within such counties. This charitable donation helps relieve the additional expense of healthcare for the indigent population within our communities that the filing organization may not directly serve in one of its hospitals. This is a result of our mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, especially to the poor and underserved.	ExplanationTxt

THESE GRANDFATHERED PARTICIPANTS, BASED ON COMPUTATION AT THE TIME OF THEIR RETIREMENT, WILL RECEIVE THE LARGER OF THE RETIREMENT BENEFIT COMPUTED UNDER THE CASH BALANCE PLAN COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS PENSION PLAN.

The final Form 990 that will be filed with the IRS is posted to a secure internet portal for all members of the Board of Directors to view. Review of the final Form 990 occurs prior to filing with the IRS in the Spring of 2017 via either meeting, conference call, or web portal polling tool by the respective CHRISTUS Organization's board, based on a set of suggested review processes developed by CHRISTUS Health.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS TO MONITOR TRANSACTIONS FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST	Form 990, Part VI, SECTION B, LINE 12c At the end of each calendar year, the CHRISTUS Health Corporate Secretary distributes a conflict of interest questionnaire to all of the organization's Board and Committee members for completion prior to the 1st of January in the next year. The Corporate Secretary thoroughly reviews all completed and executed conflict of interest questionnaire forms to ensure accuracy and that no potential or identified conflict is disclosed or exists. The organization's Board of Directors is responsible for enforcement of the conflict of interest policy of the organization.
COMPENSATION DETERMINATION PROCESS	Form 990, Part VI, section b, Lines 15a & 15b The Executive Compensation Committee of CHRISTUS Health determines the compensation of the CEO (or Executive Director, as applicable), officers and key employees of Christus Health and certain other officers and key employees of related organizations, including Christus Health Southwestern Louisiana. The Executive Compensation Committee is composed of individuals who have no conflict of interest with the compensation arrangements at hand. The Executive Compensation Committee of the CHRISTUS Health Board selects an independent external firm to perform an independent compensation review, to ensure that all compensation is reasonable and comparable to other similarly situated organizations, for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions, and to provide supporting information of compensation decisions. On an annual basis the external consultant: 1. develops the merit increase recommendations for all Designated System Executives based on market comparability. 2. recommends the changes in the Compensation Structure (grades) based on the market changes. 3. completes a review and evaluation of newly created positions to recommend a grade placement to the Committee for its discussion and approval. On a bi-annual basis, the external consultant completes a detailed review of all other Designated System Executives' compensation and benefits. This group includes all top management officials, other officers and key leaders of the organization. The review includes recommendations to the Committee on any changes necessary in either specific compensation or compensation structure to ensure market competitiveness, reasonableness and internal equity. Upon recommendations from the independent external firm, the Executive Compensation Committee makes final compensation decisions. Additionally, the Executive Compensation Committee reviews all compensation payments for excess benefit transactions. The discussion and decisions of the Committee are documented and formalized in the Committee minutes and maintained on record. The filing organization determines the compensation of the Secretary by use of an independent and external consultant. The consultant helps determine pay rates for the associates of the filing organization, taking into account market data and shift differential. The compensation rates are approved by the filing organization. Based on the aforementioned procedure, the Secretary's compensation is not reviewed by a compensation committee.
Public Disclosure of 1023 and Forms 990 & 990-T	Form 990, Part VI, SECTION C, LINE 18 CHRISTUS Health and most of its affiliated entities do not have Forms 1023 because of their inclusion in the IRS Group Ruling with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which covers the organizations listed in the Annual Official Catholic Directory. CHRISTUS Health's website displays the IRS Group Ruling and relevant Annual Official Catholic Directory pages for the organizations related to CHRISTUS Health. Forms 990 and 990-T are made available upon request.
