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:A combination of costing methodology was used to calculate the amounts reported in the table. A cost accounting system was used to calculate Medicaid and Means-tested Government Program expenses and shortfalls and Subsidized Health Services for our tertiary medical center. A cost to charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges was used to calculate charity care at cost for all entities and Medicaid and Means-tested Government Program expenses and shortfalls and Subsidized Health Services for any operations outside of the tertiary medical center. For all other amounts, costs and revenues as reflected by the general ledger system were used.
Part II, Community Building Activities:The community building activities include monetary assistance to organizations that focus their efforts on providing furniture for low income families and neighborhood improvement projects in high needs areas.
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:Sacred Heart Health Services 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:Avera Sacred Heart Hospital includes community members on committees, boards, and advisory groups to allow community reaction and input in the actions we take. We also review all data provided by the health departments regarding disease rates, mortality, morbidity, population changes, etc. The hospital also conducts focus groups, consumer perception studies, and patient satisfaction surveys to identify primary needs of the community and responds with preventative/educational information or activities for the community.
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 Sacred Heart is a 69-bed hospital in Yankton, South Dakota. Avera Sacred Heart primarily serves the city and county of Yankton and the counties of Bon Homme, Charles Mix, Hutchinson and Clay in South Dakota and counties of Knox and Cedar in Nebraska.

Part VI, Line 5:The Hospital board is comprised of individuals who represent the interests of the community served by the organization. The Hospital offers staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the community. Selected services such as Radiation Oncology and Swing-bed Services would not be available in our service area unless provided by the organization. The Hospital serves all individuals regardless of their ability to pay, providing 24 hours a day emergency service. The facility participates in the education of medical students from The University of South Dakota through their Yankton location. The Hospital also offers a 2-year Radiology Technologist program that graduates approximately 6 students per year. Sacred Heart Hospital also provides clinical education for Mount Marty University students.
Part VI, Line 6:Avera is a sponsored ministry of the Benedictine and Presentation Sisters. The communities in which Avera operates all have unique health and community benefits needs.
