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 Avera Health Foundation and their beneficial interest in the Mabee Trust. Avera Health Foundation includes endowment funds which have been established for a variety of purposes. The endowment fund assets included in the Organization's beneficial interest in the Mabee Trust have been established to purchase equipment and furnishings for the Organization. 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 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 consolidated 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.

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:The community benefit report is prepared by a related organization, Avera Health, and is available to the public at https://www.avera.org/about/annual-report/.
Part I, Line 7:Charity care expense was converted to cost on line 7a based on an overall cost-to-charge ratio addressing all patient segments. Unreimbursed Medicaid on line 7b was calculated using the costing methods to prepare the cost reports. Subsidized health services, line 7g, were obtained from EPSi analytical reports. Community health improvement services, line 7e, Health professions education, line 7f, and cash and in-kind donations, line 7i were compiled using actual costs recorded in the CBISA software.
Part III, Line 2:The amount on line 2 represents implicit price concessions. The Organization determines its estimate of implicit price concessions based on its historical collection experience with the respective class of patients and residents.
Part III, Line 4:The footnote to the Organization's financial statements that describes implicit price concession is located in the audited financial statement report on pages 18 and 19.
Part III, Line 8:Avera Queen of Peace provides services to patients under the Medicare program knowing they may not recover all the costs associated with providing these services. Providing these services is essential to these patients and the community and increases their access to healthcare services. Therefore, in years the costs associated with services provided under the Medicare program are not completely covered, the Medicare shortfall is considered a community benefit. 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.
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 Mitchell is a regional center/hub and the sixth largest city in South Dakota, Avera Queen of Peace is integrally involved with community organizations, universities/colleges, schools, state programs and local governments. The next largest hospital offering the same level of services is 72 miles from Mitchell 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. In addition to activities reported in the Community Health Needs Assessment, Avera Queen of Peace, Avera Weskota, and Avera De Smet collaborate with community health committees within their respective community to assess and promote health related matters.
Part VI, Line 3:Uninsured patients who hold an inpatient status are counseled by a Patient Advocate to screen them for coverage eligibility and to assist in payer source enrollment. Those that are not eligible are provided a charity care application along with instructions on how to fill out the application. All patients receive statements that indicate who to contact should they need financial assistance. In addition, all patients receive a summary of financial assistance upon registration, as well as in their final statement. Should a patient contact Patient Financial Services and indicate inability to pay, they are transferred to a financial counselor to assist them with the financial assistance application process. Also, inpatient and same day surgery patients receive a brochure in their admissions packet. Pre-collection letters also include information regarding the financial assistance and uninsured programs.
Part VI, Line 4:Avera Queen of Peace is a 25-bed critical access hospital in Mitchell, South Dakota. The primary service area is defined as Davison County, South Dakota.

The Avera Queen of Peace Board of Directors is principally comprised of community members from the primary and secondary services areas. Members come from a variety of backgrounds including banking, education, agriculture, healthcare, and private industry.Recognizing a need for affordable housing in Mitchell, in Fy24 Avera Queen of Peace donated 22 acres of land near the hospital for the Ridgeview on Foster project.
