Annual Community Benefit ExplnAs part of Ministry Health Care, Inc., the organization files an annual community benefit report on its webpage. The report can be viewed by visiting www.ministryhealth.org/MinistryHealth/Community.nws.AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln
Costing Method UsedAmounts calculated in Part I, Line 7 are determined both on a cost accounting system and a cost-to-charge ratio. Other Benefits are determined based on the direct and indirect costs (where allocated) associated with a program net of earned revenue. Detail for each program/activity is maintained and determined at the department level. Charity care and means-tested programs are determined based on a cost-to-charge ratio consistent with Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost to Charges. Prior year cost report settlements are excluded from the shortfall calculation in order to get a true fiscal year shortfall amount.CostingMethodUsed
Percent Of Total Expense ExplnBad debt expense of $1,487,944 is excluded from the total operating expenses of $25,795,724 when calculating percentage of total expenses in Part 1, Line 7, Column F and Part II, Lines 1-10, Column F. However, due to an issue witht he software, the amount is incorrectly included when calculating the percentage on the total lines for Part I - 7D, 7J, 7K and Part II Line 10. The correct percentages reported should be 7.08%, 1.21%, 8.29% and 0.16% respectively.PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt FootnoteNo footnote exists in the organization's financials statements that describe bad debt expense. Bad debt expense is recorded in a consistent manner with the organization's collection policies. Bad debt expense includes accounts which are written off and estimates made on live accounts based on historical payment trends and account modeling.A number of patients are truly unable to pay their out-of-pocket liability, but do not complete the process required to apply for financial assistance under the hospital's charity care policy. These patients would qualify for charity care if they completed the charity application, so the bad debt expense associated with treating them should be treated as community benefit. The organization does have a presumptive eligibility program in place to help identify indigent patients and minimize the instances of when they become a bad debt. The administrative requirements to determine whether patients who do not cooperate with the financial assistance process would have qualified for charity can be burdensome, particularly for small balances. The organization continues serving patients even after the patients have generated significant bad debt which is evidence that the care is given for community benefit motivations.BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community BenefitAny shortfall associated with Medicare should be considered a community benefit for several reasons. First, IRS Rev. Rul. 69-545, which established the community benefit standard for non-profit hospitals, states that if a hospital serves patients with government health benefits, including Medicare, then this is an indication that the hospital operates to promote the health of the community. This implies that treating Medicare patients is a community benefit. Second, for-profit specialty hospitals have been carving out certain high-margin services (i.e. cardiac, orthopedics, and oncology), leaving general acute care hospitals with lower-margin Medicare services. This indicates that Medicare losses can be a result of rendering these lower-margin services (which benefit the community) rather than inefficient operations. Lastly, the community which the organization serves has Medicare as the largest payer. The organization must accept these patients regardless of whether they make a surplus or deficit from providing such services. If the Medicare participation is premised on this fact, then providing Medicare services promotes access to healthcare services which is a community benefit. The demographic of the community is also an aging and underserved population who experience issues with access to healthcare services. Without tax-exempt hospitals providing Medicare services, CMS would bear the burden of directly providing services to the elderly.ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection PolicyThe organization has a debt collection policy which sets forth collection practices for patients who are known to qualify or may qualify for financial assistance under the charity care program. Sufficient financial counseling support is made available to patients so they can easily access patient financial service representatives and have their questions answered, and gain an understanding of the reasons why they owe a balance. Accounts are designated as charity care in the business offices so no additional time is spent on collection efforts.DebtCollectionPolicy

General ExplanationWhile there is growing agreement in the United States about what constitutes a non-profit hospital's 'community benefit', this is a work in progress. The organization provided significant charity care and other community benefits as defined by the IRS. But in addition, we believe that we provide a critically important community benefit, which is not quantified. Our hospital, like most rural hospitals, was created and is maintained in order to provide care locally-care that without our hospital, would not be available locally.Certain specialized services available include: -Emergency Room and Walk In Clinic Services-Oncology Program-Swing Bed Facilities-Lab Testing and Ancillary Diagnostics (Ultrasound, Radiology, Mammography, etc.)GeneralExplanation
Needs AssessmentThe organization performs community needs assessments as needed. Planning workgroups consisting of community partners are formed to define the community and its needs through review of Health People Initiatives, census documents, and local government health and welfare agencies. Considering other community resources/assets, data collection methods are used to identify particular problems or subgroups and areas known to have high poverty rates and to be underserved. The data is analyzed and priorities are set based on trending information which may target a specific need. When a need is identified, the hospital develops a plan to implement a program either through community collaboration or individually. Outcomes from the programs are measured and considered in subsequent community needs assessments. Community benefit plans are presented to senior leadership and board members to ensure the findings are incorporated into the organization's strategy and policy development. For example, senior leaders are required to provide direct service to the poor hours as part of their performance goals.NeedsAssessment
Patient Education AssistanceThe organization goes to great lengths in order to inform and educate patients/persons who may be billed for patient care about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state or local government programs and under the organization's charity care policy. The charity care policy and application is posted on the organization's website. Admissions and other key areas contain summary information of the charity care policy. As part of the intake/discharge process, patients are provided with a copy of the policy and other information for financial assistance. If during the course of the patient registration process, care encounter, treatment, or upon discharge it becomes evident that a patient may need financial assistance, the patient shall be referred to the organization's community care program. Patients may be identified as needing financial assistance at any time during the course of an encounter. A referral for consideration of community care financial assistance can be initiated by any member of the hospital's workforce, including medical staff members, who become aware of the patient's potential need for community care financial assistance. The charity care policy was also translated into dialects prevalent in the community in order to reach out to those that may speak another language (Spanish and Hmong). Patient Registration staff and Financial Counselors are provided with scripts to follow when interacting with patients. As part of the charity care process, patients must register with the county public assistance to see if they may qualify under any other federal or state programs.PatientEducationAssistance

Affiliated Health Care SystemThe organization is part of an affiliated health care system called Ministry Health Care, Inc. The mission of Ministry as a Catholic health care system is to further the healing ministry of Jesus by continually improving the health and well being of all people, especially the poor, in the communities served. Ministry supports such non-hospital facilities as the Agape Community Center. As a community center, it has the unique advantage of welcoming youth, adults, families and seniors into the facility through a broad range of educational, social, recreational, cultural, health and life-long learning opportunities in an impoverished portion of Milwaukee. Our Catholic Identity expects leaders to initiate and support efforts to reach out to the poor and vulnerable people, especially where no one else wants to go. Health care can become very bureaucratic and burdened with oversight of finances, regulatory requirements and strategic planning. Our focus on these issues may cause us to lose touch with those for whom we have a primary responsibility-those who are poor and vulnerable. Tithing of time allows us to look into the face of the poor, hear the voice of the poor, and help us better understand the daily challenges and barriers they face. As an affiliated health system, all leaders with direct reports are required to provide service to the poor. This also includes physician leaders and hourly supervisory staff. The organization also participates in the Ministry Health Care Fund which provides monies for special projects within the communities we serve. All organizations sponsored or co-sponsored by Ministry Health Care, Inc. set aside monies each year to assist with the needs of the community and the poor. As the Ministry Health Care Fund, these dollars are funneled back into our communities for a variety of programs and services through a community assets and needs assessment process.The organization has a foundation which is included within the operations of the organization. The foundation provides programs and cash donations which help support the mission of the organization and the affiliated health care system.. The Foundation made donations to local charitable organizations.
