Description	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING - CHARITY CARE AND MEDICAID CHRISTUS ADHERES TO THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION'S "A GUIDE FOR PLANNING AND REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT, (2008), 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. CHARITY CARE FALLS INTO TWO CATEGORIES: CHARITY CARE AND UNPAID GOVERNMENT INDIGENT CARE. IN KEEPING WITH ITS MISSION, VALUES AND VISION, CHRISTUS HEALTH 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 THEIR 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.

Income Based Criteria	NOT APPLICABLE	IncomeBasedCriteria
Annual Community Benefit Expln	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 WHICH INCLUDES 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.

Subsidized Health Services Expln	Reported at Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 g Subsidized health services are the unreimbursed patient account balances at cost with patient income of greater than 200% and less than 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The reported amount is calculated using the cost-to-charge ratio determined at Schedule H, worksheet 2. These accounts do not qualify as charity care as defined by the organization's charity care guidelines because the patients' income is above 200% FPL. The patient account balances were multiplied by the cost to charge ratio computed using Schedule H, worksheet 2. The negative amount reported is due to payments from insurance or patients for accounts expensed as charity care in prior years.	SubsidizedHealthServicesExpln
Percent Of Total Expense Expln	OUR TOTAL EXPENSE FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) WAS $271,801,988. THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS $8,816,547. THIS LEFT A TOTAL EXPENSE OF $262,985,441 FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F). DESCRIPTION OF GROSS CHARITY CARE AS % 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 21.05% WHICH EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7K COLUMN (F) WHICH IS COMPUTED USING NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE.	PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt Footnote	THE FOOTNOTE TO THE CHRISTUS HEALTH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SAYS, "THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN CONFORMITY WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE UNITED STATES REQUIRES MANAGEMENT OF THE SYSTEM TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, ESTIMATES, AND ADJUSTMENTS 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 REVENUES, WHICH INCLUDES CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES; PROVISIONS FOR BAD DEBT; RESERVES FOR LOSSES AND EXPENSES RELATED TO HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL AND GENERAL LIABILITIES; DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS; 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. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST (SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2), THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (TOTAL OF ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO.	BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As 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 provision of services to Medicare patients. Schedule H, Part III, Line 7 would equal a shortfall of $(18,003,821) if total expenses allocable to medicare services were substituted on Schedule H, Part III, Line 6.

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 NOT FOR PROFIT AGENCIES AND GROUPS WHOSE VISION, MISSION, AND GOALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHRISTUS HEALTH'S MISSION, VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY.

GeneralExplanation
General Explanation	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 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECORDING REVENUE FROM 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.	GeneralExplanation
General Explanation	The organization uses Form 990, Schedule H, Worksheet A to determine the bad debt expense at cost reported at Schedule H, Part III, Section A, Line 2 using the cost-to-charge ratio calculated at Form 990, Schedule H, worksheet 2, Line 11. The organization's total bad debt expense attributable to patient charges (total of all hospital facilities) is in accordance with the organization's financial statements. Bad debt expense is net of: (1) contractual allowances, (2) payments received and (3) recoveries of bad debt previously written off.	GeneralExplanation
General Explanation	PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3 IN ORDER TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY, THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WERE USED TO DETERMINE THE INCLUSION OF A PATIENT ACCOUNT: (1) THE ACCOUNTS HAD NO PATIENT PAYMENTS NOTED. (2) THE ACCOUNTS ARE ALL TRUE SELF-PAY WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL LACKS INSURANCE COVERAGE. (3) THE PATIENTS/ GUARANTOR ARE UNEMPLOYED FOR THE MOST PART. (4) THE ACCOUNTS HAVE LIMITED CONTACT INFORMATION WITH REPEATED RETURN MAIL AND A POSSIBLE PHONE NUMBER OR NO PHONE NUMBER WITH AN ADDRESS. (5) THE ACCOUNTS IN THE BRONZE CATEGORY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SCORING MODEL INDICATES THAT THE ACCOUNTS HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTACT INFORMATION AND SCORE VERY LOW ON THE COLLECTABILITY/PROBABILITY SCALE. THE BRONZE SECTION USUALLY REPRESENTS ONLY 5 PERCENT OF ALL MONIES RECOVERED. The amount of the organization's bad debt expense at cost attributable to patients who are eligible under the organization's charity care policy, is determined using the cost-to-charge ratio calculated on Form 990, Schedule H, Worksheet 2. In addition to screening patients to determine the applicability of financial assistance and charity care at the time of admission and discharge, CHRISTUS Health follows a policy and supporting procedures for reviewing all active self-pay patient receivables. The screening procedures subsequent to discharge to determine charity care and discount applicability include reviewing the attending hospital's records including patient submitted charity care applications or other financial information, making contact with patients through mailed notice followed by phone call, using a financial assistance questionnaire, using software that provides household/income data statistics and credit reports. As a result of the aforementioned steps, the amount reported as bad debt expense at cost attributable to patients who are eligible under the organization's charity care policy is relatively small.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D	COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED ROOTED IN OUR MISSION AND TRADITION, FOUNDERS AND SPONSORS OF CHRISTUS HEALTH AND THOSE WHO CO-MINISTER WITH THEM SEEK NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS OF DELIVERING QUALITY HEATH CARE THAT IS BOTH AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. TODAY, MORE THAN EVER, CHRISTUS HEALTH STRIVES TO IMPROVE THE TOTAL HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT PLACE SERVICES WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED THE MOST, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION AND PREFERENCE GIVEN TO PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT AND BENEFIT THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED. COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED REPRESENT THE UNPAID COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED FOR WHICH A PATIENT IS NOT BILLED, OR FOR WHICH A FEE HAS BEEN ASSESSED THAT RECOVERS ONLY A PORTION OF THE COST OF THE RENDERED SERVICE. THIS CATEGORY INCLUDES INITIATIVES THAT REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED THROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS SEEK JUSTICE FOR THE VULNERABLE AND WORK TO BRING ABOUT CHANGES IN OUR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS. THE PROGRAMS COVER A BROAD SPECTRUM OF SERVICES FROM COMMUNITY CLINICS TO IMMUNIZATIONS FOR CHILDREN AND SENIORS, MEALS ON WHEELS, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND A VARIETY OF OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES. CHRISTUS HEALTH NORTHERN LOUISIANA OPENS ITS DOORS TO VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, GROUPS, CLUBS, STATE AGENCIES, AND SUPPORT GROUPS WHICH NEED MEETING AND/OR OFFICE SPACE. THIS SERVICE IS PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THESE COMMUNITY, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR STATE AGENCIES. CHRISTUS HEALTH NORTHERN LOUISIANA PROVIDES NEEDED OFFICE SPACE AT LITTLE TO NO EXPENSE TO VARIOUS NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. CHRISTUS HEALTH NORTHERN LOUISIANA PROVIDES MEALS FOR RESIDENTS OF RUTHERFORD HOUSE, A LOCAL RESIDENTIAL, REHABILITATIVE JUVENILE PROGRAM AND THE SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER RESCUE MISSION, A HOMELESS AND/OR DISPLACED SHELTER/HOUSING PROGRAM LOCATED IN SHREVEPORT, LA. SOME EXAMPLES OF CHRISTUS HEALTH COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACCOUNTED FOR UNDER COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED INCLUDE THE CHRISTUS COMMUNITY DIRECT INVESTMENT PROGRAM (CDI) AND THE CHRISTUS FUND. THE CHRISTUS BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE FUNDING OF A CDI LOAN PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT THE WORK OF SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND MORAL AND ETHICAL STEWARDSHIP CONTINUES IN SPITE OF CHALLENGING FISCAL CONDITIONS FACED BY LOCAL OPERATING ENTITIES. THE PURPOSE OF THE CDI PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY-DRIVEN INITIATIVES PRIMARILY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY PROVIDING FINANCING AT BELOW-MARKET INTEREST RATES TO NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AT TERMS NOT EXCEEDING MORE THAN FIVE YEARS. THE INCOME LOST FROM THE DIFFERENCE IN THE MARKET RATE LESS OUR LOAN RATE (FOREGONE INCOME) IS CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR REPORTING PURPOSES. THE COST OF THESE INVESTMENTS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES OF CHRISTUS HEALTH NORTHERN LOUISIANA. THOUGH OUTSTANDING LOAN BALANCES VARY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE OUTSTANDING LOAN BALANCE AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2010 WAS $803,531. THE FOREGONE INTEREST FOR CHRISTUS HEALTH NORTHERN LOUISIANA IN FY2010 WAS $22,095. CHRISTUS HEALTH ESTABLISHED THE CHRISTUS FUND TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGENCIES AND GROUPS WHOSE VISION, MISSION AND GOALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHRISTUS HEALTH'S MISSION, VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT BY WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF PEOPLES' LIVES AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES. DURING FY2010, THE TOTAL GRANT MONEY DISTRIBUTED TO THE NORTHERN LOUISIANA REGION WAS $50,000. THE COST OF THESE GRANTS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES OF CHRISTUS HEALTH NORTHERN LOUISIANA. PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES = $261 GRANTS = $261 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE = $0
DESCRIPTION OF OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D	COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY THE GREATEST SHARE OF THESE EXPENSES IS FOR EDUCATING HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. HELPING TO PREPARE FUTURE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IS A DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE AND CONSTITUTES A SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY BENEFIT. CHRISTUS HEALTH ALSO USED CASH DONATIONS AS A VEHICLE TO HELP OUR COMMUNITIES. WE MADE CASH DONATIONS, IN ADDITION TO GRANTS AWARDED THROUGH THE CHRISTUS FUND, TO SUPPORT CAUSES LIKE THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER, PROVISION OF A CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR OUR ELDERLY, HIV/AIDS, AND FOR MANY OTHER EQUALLY WORTHY PURPOSES.
