Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D part X   ASC 740 footnote: Essentia Health has adopted Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes). The adoption of this interpretation had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements and therefore, Essentia Health's consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 no longer includes an ASC 740 footnote.

Assets, excluding equity in home of $100,000, must be below $10,000 for a household of up to 2 and $20,000 for a household of 3 or more. Assets include bank accounts, IRAs, second vehicles, recreational vehicles, and any additional real estate. Part I, line 6a Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center community benefit information is consolidated into the Essentia Health community benefit information which is included in the Essentia Health annual report. The annual report is made available to the public via the website at www.essentiahealth.org. Essentia Health, headquartered in Duluth, Minn., is an integrated health system serving patients in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Idaho and is Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center's parent corporation. Part 1, line 7g There are no subsidized costs attributable to a physician clinic. Part I, line 7, column (f) Bad debt expense that was subtracted from total expense to obtain the % of community benefit to total expense amounted to $5,382,114. Part I, line 7 The cost to charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges was used to calculate cost for the following community benefits: 1) Charity Care; 2) Unreimbursed Medicaid; 3) Unreimbursed costs - other means-tested government Programs. Actual costs were used for the remainder of the community benefits reported. Part II - Describe how the organization's community building activities, as reported in Part II, promote the health of the communities the organization serves: Habitat for Humanity: Volunteered time during work hours to Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing ministry. Habitat welcomes all people-regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or any other difference-to build and repair simple, decent, affordable houses with those who lack adequate shelter. Habitat affiliates work locally in communities around the world to select and support homeowners, organize volunteers and coordinate house building and repair. Homeowners are selected based on their need for housing, their ability to repay a mortgage and their willingness to work in partnership with Habitat. Habitat does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity or any other difference. Habitat is able to make housing affordable to low-income families because houses are sold through a no-profit mortgage. Individuals, corporations, faith groups and others provide vital financial support. Homeowners and volunteers build or repair under trained supervision. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped build or repair over 500,000 houses and served over 2 million people around the world. Health Careers Class: St. Joseph's Medical Center collaborated with a local college and high school to provide a Health Careers Exploration course for high school juniors and seniors. The course included 34 sessions beginning January 2011 and concluded in May 2011. Students participated in classroom work, heard presentations by SJMC employees about their healthcare job cluster, and shadowed staff in various departments. Students were certified in Healthcare Provider Basic Life Support, taught by St. Joseph's Medical Center. Students were eligible to receive college credit for the course. This class will continue to be available to students at Brainerd High School in subsequent years, based on evaluations of this year's program. Through presentations, SJMC was able to share not only the science behind various healthcare careers, but also the compassion that is needed to be a successful healthcare professional. Discussions included the unique privilege healthcare professionals have to administer to patients in a variety of settings. Career presentations emphasized the importance of direct patient care and supportive roles, exposing students to a broad scope of opportunities in the healthcare field. Students benefited from seeing in action the interdependency of various disciplines needed to deliver quality care. The ethics presentation gave students the opportunity to explore the role of justice in decision-making. Over twenty-five St. Joseph's employees demonstrated stewardship by giving of their time and sharing their experiences and knowledge with the students. Hospitality was demonstrated by introducing students to staff throughout the facility during their initial tour, providing a meeting place for classes, and at times providing refreshments. Many organizations collaborated to design, support and deliver a successful Health Care Careers class. Students were exposed to a variety of technology in the healthcare setting, including digitalized radiology images, electronic medical records, ventilator, echocardiography, telemetry, and other patient care equipment. This project was a creative way to recognize and affirm the youth of our community and open their minds to possibilities they did not know existed in the realm of healthcare careers. The Healthcare Provider Basic Life Support training prepared students to respond to emergencies in the community. This certification prepared students for entry level jobs in area nursing homes, group homes, life-guarding and childcare where BLS is often required. Students discovered that goals they thought were prohibitive due to cost or length of time, were, in fact, attainable. This understanding was attributed to staff who openly shared their own stories and challenges in achieving their career goals. Part III, line 4 The costing methodology used to report bad debt expense at cost was the cost to charge ratio from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges. The rationale for using the Cost-to-Charge ratio is that it is the most efficient way to calculate bad debt at cost. We believe this method materially represents the cost of bad debt. Part III, line 4 Discounts and charity care are accounted for as reductions to revenue, where bad debts are accounted for as operating expenses. Bad debt expense on patient accounts would be identified as any balance on the account, less any previous payments and discounts, that has aged and is absent of any payments. If, during the collection process, it becomes known that the patient qualifies for charity care, the amounts included within bad debt expense would be reclassified to charity care (reduction of revenue). Part III, Line 4 In order to estimate the amount of charity care that could potentially be included in bad debt expense, the ratio of charity care to gross patient revenue was multiplied by the bad debt at cost to arrive at the estimated amount of $44,000. Part III, Line 4 Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center is a part of a larger organization, Essentia Health. Essentia Health and its member organizations incorporate the full value of the cost of bad debt as a community benefit. The rationale for the organization's opinion is similar to the rationale used by the American Hospital Association. There are extensive administrative challenges of verifying income and assets to determine charity care eligibility. There is also evidence that low-income patients account for the majority of bad debt expenses. Part III, line 4 The provision for uncollectible accounts is based upon management's ongoing assessment of historical and expected net collections considering historical business and economic conditions, trends in health care coverage, and other collection indicators. The results of this assessment are used to make modifications to the provision for uncollectible accounts, if necessary. Essentia follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by Essentia. Effective July 1, 2011, Essentia will adopt new accounting guidance regarding the presentation and disclosure of patient service revenue, the provision for bad debts, and the allowance for doubtful accounts. The guidance requires healthcare entities to change the presentation of their statement of operations by reclassifying the provision for bad debts associated with patient service revenue from an operating expense to a deduction from patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts). Additionally, enhanced disclosures will be required surrounding the entity's policies for recognizing revenue and assessing bad debts. Essentia is evaluating new guidance and will make any additional required disclosures. Part III, line 8 The costing methodology used in determining the Medicare Allowable Cost reported in the organization's Medicare Cost Report is to take total Medicare costs from t
Part VI, line 2   Needs assessment. Describe how the organization assesses the health care needs of the communities it serves, in addition to any needs assessments reported in Part V, Section B: Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center performs a periodic community needs survey of its primary, secondary, and tertiary service areas. This survey includes demographic composition and trends and healthcare service utilization in major diagnostic categories. This information is used for planning and improving new and existing services. In addition, Essentia Health St. Joseph's leadership participates in a variety of community activities which provide an opportunity to understand healthcare needs. Finally, a telephone survey of residents in the primary service area has been deployed at intervals to help the organization understand the community's perceptions around such issues as access to care.
Part VI, line 3   Describe how the organization informs and educates patients and persons who may be billed for patient care about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state, or local government programs or under the organization's Financial Assistance policy: Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center has brochures which include Financial Assistance information, Financial Assistance application and contact information on other federal and state government programs. The availability of financial assistance is advertised prominently throughout the hospital including waiting room areas, the emergency room and at information desks. As a part of the intake process, patients are provided the brochures explaining their financial assistance options. Patients also receive this information upon discharge. If during the patient's stay it is determined that they would be in need of financial assistance, a financial counselor will meet with the patient or their family to go over their financial assistance options including federal or state governmental programs or charity care. Financial counselors will assist patients with the application process, mailing and follow-up. Staff have been trained to refer patients to the financial counselor whenever a financial need is determined to exist. Financial assistance information is provided to patients with billing letters as well.
Part VI, line 4   Community information. Describe the community the organization serves, taking into account the geographic area and demographic constituents it serves: Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center is located in Brainerd, MN. Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center is a part of the larger Essentia Health system, which is defined in Part VI, line 6. Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center operates 1 hospital and 10 clinics that serve the communities of Brainerd, Baxter, Pierz, Pequot Lakes, Pine River, Pillager, Cross Lake, and Hackensack. The overall community is classified as a combination of suburban and rural. Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center and its related clinics cover a service region of approximately 112,000 people. The service region age distribution is 22.6% under the age of 18; 57.6% between the ages of 18 and 65; and 19.8% over the age of 65. The racial makeup of the service region is 95.3% Caucasian; 0.5% Black or African American; 2.3% American Indian or Alaskan Native; 0.3% Asian; 0.1% Pacific Islander or Hawaiian; 1.3% two or more races; and 0.2% other. The gender split ratio is 50.3% women and 49.7% men. The average income for the service area is approximately $53,000. Approximately 8.8% of the population falls below the federal poverty guidelines. Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center, along with Essentia Health is committed to serve patients regardless of their ability to pay. 4.4% net revenue dollars were from self pay patients. In addition, approximately 26.2% of their net revenue dollars were Medicaid recipients. Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center serves in federally-recognized underserved areas in Pierz, Pine River and Hackensack. As mentioned above, Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center is part of a larger system, Essentia Health. Essentia Health staffs hospitals and clinics in federally-recognized underserved areas and supports the health of its communities through an active outreach program that brings specialists like oncologists, cardiologists, neurologists and others into its smaller communities. This eliminates barriers to care for many patients, particularly those who are elderly, living on low incomes, or are faced with other challenges that make it difficult to travel long distances for care. There are 3 other hospitals outside of the Essentia Health umbrella that service the community.
Part VI, line 5   Provide any other information important to describing how the organization's hospitals or other health care facilities further its exempt purpose by promoting the health of the community: Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center's board of directors consists of 4 members of the community it serves, 2 employed physicians who live in the community and 2 members employed by an affiliated organization. Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center has an open Medical Staff, so any qualified physician of the community is allowed to apply. All applicants that apply must meet the credentialing standards and be approved by our governing board in order to come and provide services in our system. Any surplus funds are reinvested into the hospital by adding new capital equipment or buildings or replacing existing capital though the annual budgeting process. Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center is a part of a larger system Essentia Health. As a non-profit organization, Essentia Health is focused on reinvesting surplus revenues into programs and technology that improve patient care. One of the most significant investments has been in the area of electronic health records, which are being rolled out across the health system's network of hospitals and clinics. The majority of Essentia hospitals and clinics were linked via one central EHR by the end of 2011. We also continue to replace and upgrade technology, ranging from CT scanners to robotic surgery devices that ensure patients in our predominantly rural communities have access to these needed services in their home communities. We are also investing in the development of medical homes, which are designed to improve health outcomes for patients, particularly those with chronic diseases. Much of this work is currently not reimbursed by state or federal programs, so Essentia Health assumes responsibility for medical home costs. We also support the health of our communities through active research and clinical trials through the Essentia Institute of Rural Health. Various Essentia Health organizations contributed almost $1.5 million in support to the Institute over the past year. The Institute conducts clinical, translational and health services research with a primary focus on the needs of rural Americans.
Part VI, line 6   If the organization is part of an affiliated health care system, describe the respective roles of the organization and its affiliates in promoting the health of the communities served: Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center is part of Essentia Health, an integrated health system of 14 hospitals, 64 clinics and several long-term care facilities in four states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Idaho. The health system serves a predominantly rural population whose median incomes generally fall below averages of the states where they live. The presence of our clinics and hospitals ensures that people with few economic resources don't have to drive an hour or more to receive basic (and in some cases live-saving) medical care. In addition to staffing hospitals and clinics in federally-recognized underserved areas, we support the health of our communities through an active outreach program that brings specialists like oncologists, cardiologists, neurologists and others into our smaller communities. This eliminates barriers to care for many patients, particularly those who are elderly, living on low incomes, or are faced with other challenges that make it difficult to travel long distances for care. Our size and integrated structure allow us to offer patients services often found only in larger urban settings. Services ranging from chemotherapy and cancer clinical trials to congestive heart failure management and hospice are available to patients in many of the rural communities we serve. Essentia Health also supports the health of our communities with active research and clinical trials, through the Essentia Institute of Rural Health. The Institute conducts clinical, translational and health services research with a primary focus on the needs of rural Americans. Essentia Health is also serving patients through implementation of the Epic electronic health record (EHR). By the end of FY 2011, the vast majority of Essentia's 14 hospitals and 64 clinics were using a fully-integrated EHR for patient care. A common electronic health record allows health professionals to share test results and consult with colleagues in real time across great distances. Medical information is no longer lost in the shuffle of paper records - an important consideration in a region where patients must often be transferred to a larger Essentia facility for complex surgeries or medical care. Essentia is also actively working with government agencies and insurers to develop innovative, cost-effective approaches to care that will improve health outcomes while reducing overall costs to patients and insurers. This innovation can be found in our use of remote home monitors for patients with congestive heart failure to a focus on using a team-based approach to helping patients manage chronic diseases. Essentia Health is committed to helping patients and their families lead active and fulfilling lives in the small and large communities where they live. We hope to become a model of health care delivery, particularly in rural areas, in the years to come.
