Form and Line Reference Explanation
HealthEast Bethesda Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 5: In conducting the Community Health Needs Assessment, the organization took into account input from representatives of the community it serves, including those with special knowledge of or expertise in public health in the following ways:Initially, the organization collected results from more than 1700 surveys administered to their clinic patients and City Passport members. Key themes were identified by the organization's care coordinators, social workers, and other professionals in a series of seven discussion groups. Other community needs were identified during discussions with Hmong, Karen, and Vietnamese immigrants and refugees who receive services and support from the Center for Social Healing, a Wilder Foundation program.The organization consulted with leaders in the community with special knowledge of or expertise in public health when conducting the Community Health Needs Assessment.Representatives from St. Paul-Ramsey County Department of Public Health, Dakota County Department of Public Health, Washington County Public Health, Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Allina Health provided feedback throughout the process.
HealthEast Bethesda Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 6a: The organization's community needs health assessment was conducted with the following hospital facilities:HealthEast St. John's HospitalHealthEast St. Joseph's HospitalHealthEast Woodwinds HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 7a:https://healtheast.org/images/stories/about/community-health-assessment.pdfPart V, Section B, Line 10:https://healtheast.org/images/stories/about/2016-18-comm-health-implement-plan.pdf
HealthEast Bethesda Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 11: Aligned with the organization's vision for Optimal Health and Well-being, our Community Health Needs Assessment Advisory Committee and other stakeholders created three priority goals, with supporting objectives and strategies from the most recently conducted Community Health Needs Assessment. The goals aim to reduce health disparities and improve well-being among east metro residents, particularly among aging residents, residents living in poverty, and communities of color. A number of strategies included in the implementation plan also address other community health concerns that were identified during the assessment process, but not elevated as a priority issue. As of year end, the organization did not have time to implement any of the actions related to the needs identified. The following are the actions the organization intends to take to meet the identified needs.The three priority goals the organization plans to address are as follows:Priory: ObesityThe organization plans to address obesity through leveraging the organization's leaders on community boards, committees and other initiatives; Exploring food systems in the east metro and identifying partnership opportunities that increase healthy food choices and access to healthy foods; Engaging and educating the organization's employees to help address obesity/food system initiatives; Increasing social connectedness for aging population through the organization's Passport Program.Priority: Unmet Mental Health Needs The organization plans to address unmet mental health needs by providing culturally appropriate mental health and addiction programs to the Karen community; Providing mental health medication financial assistance through Mental Health Alliance collaboration; Expanding anti-stigma campaigns throughout the organization; Providing leadership for community organizations and collaborations.Priority: Access to Services and ResourcesThe organization plans to address access to services and resources by establishing cross-sector partnerships to address social determinants of health; Providing leadership for community organizations and collaborations; Expanding community paramedicine programs to vulnerable populations; Providing Faith Community Nurse Programs in targeted neighborhoods and/or churches.Significant needs identified through our assessment that will not be addressed in the current three-year plan are listed below.Affordable Housing and Housing Supports. This issue is beyond what our resources can support at this time.Social Isolation. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our mental health and access to services priorities.Transportation. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our access to services priority.Poor Nutrition. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our obesity priority.Physical Inactivity. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our obesity priority.Tobacco. Significant progress has already been made on this issue; need identified as a low priority.Unintentional Injury. Need identified as a low priority; unintentional injuries related to falls among the aging population will be addressed through our obesity priority.
HealthEast Bethesda Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 13h: The Minnesota Attorney General agreement was used in the determination of the eligibility for financial assistance.
HealthEast Bethesda Hospital Part V, Section B, Line 16i: The organization attaches a summary of the policy to billing invoices and also communicates to patients during admission, financial counseling and collection calls that there is a financial assistance program and that an application can be provided to them.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 6a: This organization is part of the HealthEast Care System which prepares an annual community benefit report called "HealthEast Report to the Community" on a consolidated basis.
Part I, Line 7: The amounts reported on Form 990, Schedule H, Part I, Line 7a, 7b and 7c were determined using the cost to charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 in the Schedule H, Form 990 Instructions. Form 990, Schedule H, Part I, Lines 7e, 7f and 7i are reported at charges as recorded by the organization.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f): The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $2,070,311.
Part II, Community Building Activities: HealthEast Care System promotes the health of the communities it serves by providing community building activities. The organization offers free access to its Passport Program. This program is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all as we age. We lead positive social change and deliver value to members through information, advocacy, lifelong learning, self-development and fulfillment. We accomplish this goal by offering social opportunities, educational seminars, opportunities to meet other members and volunteer opportunities.HealthEast Care System is also active in the community by participating in various committees and collaborative efforts to address health care issues.
Part III, Line 2: The bad debt expense reported on Part III, Line 2 is reported at charges as recorded by the organization.The following describes the costing methodology used in determining bad debt and the rationale for including a portion of bad debt as community benefit:The bad debt allowance is calculated as a percentage of patient receivables after deductions for estimated provisions for contractual adjustments (discounts) on services provided to enrollees of Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payor programs, charity care, uninsured discounts, and other administrative adjustments.Certain patient accounts are written off to bad debt because the organization does not have sufficient information to determine if the patient would qualify for free care or financial aid. Therefore, it is possible that some bad debt is actually charity care. However, if a patient account is written off to bad debt and the collection agency later determines that the patient would have qualified for free care or financial aid, then the bad debt expense is reclassified to charity care.
Part III, Line 4: The footnote to the financial statements that describes the bad debt expense is located on page 10 of the audited financial statements.
Part III, Line 8: The organization believes that at least some portion of the costs we incur in excess of payments received from the Federal government for providing medical services to Medicare enrollees and beneficiaries under the Federal Medicare Program (shortfall or Medicare shortfall) constitutes a community benefit. Providing these services clearly lessens the burdens of the government by alleviating the Federal government from having to directly provide these medical services. As demonstrated and calculated on Form 990, Schedule H, Part III, Lines 5, 6 and 7, our Medicare "allowable costs" clearly exceed the payments we receive for providing these medical services under the Medicare Program. By absorbing the Medicare shortfall costs we are providing a community benefit as well as easing the burden of the Federal government having to cover these costs.To arrive at the Form 990, Schedule H, Part III, Line 6 amount we used actual Medicare charges from internal records and applied an estimated cost to charge ratio to determine the Medicare allowable costs. The estimated Medicare cost to charge ratio is the prior period Medicare Cost Report cost to charge ratio.
Part III, Line 9b: The organization's collection policy and practices provide that a patient who indicates an inability to pay be provided with the information and application for the organization's financial aid policy. When a completed financial assistance application is received, it is processed according to the organization's policy to determine whether the patient qualifies for discounted or free medical services. The organization will not begin the billing process until a determination is made whether the patient qualifies for discounted or free medical services. However, if a patient expires or files for bankruptcy prior to providing a completed financial assistance application, there is no way to determine if the patient qualifies for charity care.The patient handbook also provides information regarding collection policies and practices. Bills provided to patients include the following statement: "Financial Aid Available: It is important that you let us know if you will have trouble paying your bill. HealthEast may be able to help you get free or low-cost health coverage through community or government programs. Although HealthEast can assist you in this process, you must apply for these benefits if you are eligible."
Part VI, Line 2: HealthEast contracted with Wilder Research to design and implement an assessment process that would build on work done in prior assessments and to better understand community health needs.The CHNA process was designed to gather current demographic and health data from a variety of sources in order to understand the needs of east metro residents. Results from more than 1700 surveys administered to HealthEast primary care clinic patients and City Passport members were collected. Key themes were identified by HealthEast care coordinators, social workders and other professionals through discussion groups.Discussions with Hmong, Karen, and Vietnamese immigrants and refugees through the Center for Social Healing, helped to identify community needs. HealthEast patient data appropriate to population health was used to identify areas where HealthEast serves the largest numbers of patients, as well as potentially underserved areas. A comprehensive review of local demographic and health data was used to identify health status and health disparities. This included a review of data for the leading causes of death in the east metro counties, as well as common risk factors that contribute to poor health, including obesity, physical inactivity, and tobacco use.
Part VI, Line 3: HealthEast Care System has Financial Counselors and Social Workers available to assist patients in determining whether they qualify for help with their medical bills. Billing and Insurance Information brochures are also available to patients which explain the organization's billing and payment policies as well as contact information for discussing financial assistance with our Financial Counselors and Social Workers. Patients are informed about the availability of federal, state and local medical assistance programs, charity care availability as well as discounted care eligibility requirements.The patient handbook also provides information regarding collection policies and practices. Bills provided to patients include the following statement: "Financial Aid Available: It is important that you let us know if you will have trouble paying your bill. HealthEast may be able to help you get free or low-cost health coverage through community or government programs. Although HealthEast can assist you in this process, you must apply for these benefits if you are eligible."
Part VI, Line 4: The primary service area for HealthEast Care System hospitals includes the three east metro counties of Dakota County, Ramsey County, and Washington County. Combined, the service area includes over one million residents and there are three major demographic trends. 1-A growing aging population: Across the state and in the east metro, the percentage of aging residents is growing. By 2030, approximately 1 in 4 residents in the east metro will be age 65 and older. Right now, nearly one-third (30%) of residents age 65 or older have one or more disabilities. As this number increases, so will the need for a range of services, supports, and accommodations to help aging residents maintain a high quality of life. 2-Continued poverty: Rates of poverty are notably higher in Ramsey County, where 17 percent of residents live at or below the federal poverty line, compared to Dakota (7%) and Washington (6%) counties. Poverty rates have decreased in Ramsey and Washington counties since the peak of the recession (2008-2010), while poverty rates have continued to increase in Dakota County, potentially due to a growing number of lower-income immigrant and refugee residents. Rates of unemployment are approximately twice as high in Ramsey County (10%) than in Dakota (5%) or Washington (4%) counties.3-Increasing cultural diversity: The percentage of residents of color has increased dramatically during the past 25 years. Today, nearly one-third of Ramsey County residents are persons of color. This shift in diversity is shaped predominately by changes in young adults and children. Only 5 percent of Twin Cities residents age 85 or older are people of color, compared to 41 percent of residents age 5 or younger. The ten leading causes of premature death in the Twin Cities east metro include a number of chronic conditions (e.g., cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic lower respiratory disease), unintentional injury, acute illness (e.g., pneumonia/ influenza), and suicide.
Part VI, Line 5: In addition to the community benefits and activities described in other parts of this filing, the HealthEast Care System furthers its tax-exempt charitable purpose and promotes the health of the communities it serves including, but not limited to the following: The organization's hospitals extend medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the community. As a tax-exempt health care system, HealthEast Care System reinvests any excess revenues back into the core operations of the organization for which the tax-exemption was granted. The organization offers various health care classes, health screenings, support groups and other events related to the promotion of health. Some examples are in the following areas: Diabetes, Pain Care, Pregnancy, Birthing, Parenting, Heart Disease, Weight Loss, Women's Health, Vein Therapy, Chemical Dependency, Stroke, Cancer, Brain Injury, Smoking Cessation and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).HealthEast Care System is governed by a board of directors that are members of the community the organization serves.
Part VI, Line 6: HealthEast Care System is a community-focused, non-profit health care organization that provides innovative technology, compassionate care, and a full spectrum of family health services. HealthEast includes Bethesda Hospital, St. John's Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and Woodwinds Health Campus as well as outpatient services, clinics, home care, and medical transportation services.Organization Mission:The mission of HealthEast is rooted in Judeo-Christian values to provide high quality, compassionate, cost-effective health care for the communities it serves. HealthEast includes four hospitals, 14 primary care clinics, outpatient services, home care and medical transportation services. With approximately 7,000 employees and 1,500 physicians on staff, it meets a broad array of community health needs, through a blend of "high tech" services, traditional medicine and integrative therapies.

Form 990, Part IV, Line 24a This organization along with related organizations HealthEast St. Joseph's Hospital, HealthEast St. John's Hospital and HealthEast Woodwinds Hospital are equally liable for the repayment of the bonds reported on the HealthEast Care System Form 990.
Form 990, Part V, Line 1a Cash disbursements are centralized through this organization. As the parent organization, HealthEast Care System makes the payments and files the related Form 1099's and Form 1096 on behalf of all HealthEast Care System related organizations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1 The Executive Committee shall consist of five or more members, including the ex officio members. The Chair shall chair the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee shall recommend to the Board of Directors changes in the Bylaws, approve conflict of interest policies and review compliance with conflict of interest policies. The Executive Committee shall have all the power and authority of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee shall have the power to act only in the intervals between meetings of the Board. Only the Outside Directors of the Executive Committee shall be entitled to vote on any action taken by the Executive Committee in discharging its duties with regard to human resources and governance. Members of the Executive Committee who are Inside Directors shall not participate in, or be present during, any discussion of actions proposed or taken with respect to the duties with regard to human resources and governance, except to the extent requested to do so by the Outside Directors on the Executive Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 All officers and employees are employed by related organizations in which the board members are also board members of the related organization. Therefore, a business relationship exists between these individuals.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Form 990 is sent electronically to all members of the Board of Directors prior to the filing of the Form 990 and prior to the Finance Committee and Board of Directors meetings in which it will be reviewed. A representative of the tax department, if necessary, will attend the Finance Committee meeting and/or the Board of Directors meeting to discuss the Form 990 with the members of the Board and answer any questions from the Board.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c HealthEast Care System monitors proposed or ongoing transactions for conflicts of interest through the procedures set forth in its Conflicts of Interest Policy (the Policy). The Policy covers HealthEast Care System's Directors, Officers and members of a Committee with Board-delegated powers. A Director, Officer or member of a Committee with Board-delegated powers who has a direct or indirect financial interest, is an interested person under the terms of the Policy. If a person is an interested person with respect to any entity in the HealthEast Care System he or she is an interested person with respect to all entities in the HealthEast Care System. Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, in connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts relating to his or her financial interest to the Directors or members of Committees with Board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the interested person must leave the Board (or Committee) meeting while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board (or Committee) members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or Committee meeting regarding the proposed transaction or arrangement, but after such presentation, the interested person shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the proposed transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Chair of the Board of Directors engages an external consulting firm to review the compensation of the organization's CEO, Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents annually and was last completed in November 2014. The process includes the external consulting firm evaluating current base salaries and total cash and benefits compared to comparable positions within the comparator group. The external firm presents its findings to the Executive Committee of the Board and indicates any recommendations for change. The Executive Committee of the Board approves the salaries. The consulting firm issues a reasonable compensation letter to the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Articles of Incorporation for this organization are available to the public through the Secretary of State Office. The organization's conflict of interest policy and other governing documents are not made available to the public. The financial statements for this organization are made available to the public through the Attorney General's Office and are also attached to this Form 990.
Form 990, Part VII In recent fiscal years, the organization had internal leadership changes which resulted in a change in the roles and responsibilities of certain employees. As such, some individuals who were treated as officers in the past are no longer with the organization and others no longer meet the definition of officer or key employee. Based on the IRS instructions, they are listed on Part VII as former officers or key employees as they were considered in this role within the past five years.
Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Column B HealthEast Care System is the parent organization for a large healthcare system, including several 501(c)(3), tax-exempt, non-profit organizations. The Board of Directors for this organization is the same as the Board of Directors for all HealthEast Care System subsidiaries. All hours worked as a member of the Board of Directors are reported on this Form 990. Therefore, we report 0.00 hours worked by each member of the Board of Directors on all HealthEast Care System subsidiaries.
