Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C: TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE CARE UNDER TRINITY HEALTH'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, THE SERVICES MUST BE MEDICALLY NECESSARY, THE PERSON'S HOUSEHOLD INCOME MUST BE BELOW 250% OF FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, THEY MUST RESIDE WITHIN TRINITY HEALTH'S SERVICE AREA, THEY MUST EXHAUST OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OPPORTUNITIES (E.G.: MEDICARE, MEDICAID), AND THEY MUST PROVIDE A COMPLETE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN WHEN INCOME LEVELS EXCEED THE INCOME GUIDELINES FOR CHARITY CARE AND THE HEALTHCARE EXPENSES EXCEED A SIGNIFICANT MULTIPLE OF THE HOUSEHOLD'S ANNUAL INCOME.
PART I, LINE 7: TRINITY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSES AND REVENUES WERE CALCULATED USING THE IRS WORKSHEETS PROVIDED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE 2018 FORM 990, SCHEDULE H.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F): $19,630,747 OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS EXCLUDED IN CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGES REPORTED IN PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F.IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSE, TRINITY PROVIDES A WIDE VARIETY OF BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING OFFERING VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICE PROGRAMS SUCH AS FREE CLINICS, HEALTH SCREENINGS, IN-HOME CAREGIVER SERVICES, SOCIAL SERVICE AND SUPPORT COUNSELING FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, PASTORAL CARE, CRISIS INTERVENTION, TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE HOSPITAL CAMPUSES, AND THE DONATION OF SPACE FOR USE BY COMMUNITY GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, A LARGE NUMBER OF HEALTH-RELATED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING HEALTH ENHANCEMENTS AND WELLNESS, CLASSES ON SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, TELEPHONE INFORMATION SERVICES, AND COSTS RELATED TO PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE GENERAL STANDARDS OF THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THE COST OF PROVIDING THE ABOVE SERVICES IS NOT INCLUDED IN TRINITY'S CHARITY CARE AMOUNT.
PART III, LINE 2: TRINITY PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT REDUCED CHARGE TO RESIDENTS OF ITS COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE. INCLUDED IN TRINITY'S DEFINITION OF CHARITY CARE ARE THE FOLLOWING: (A) SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED AND (B) SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS EXPRESSING A WILLINGNESS TO PAY BUT WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNABLE TO PAY BECAUSE OF SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS.TRINITY MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THOSE RECORDS INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES FORGONE FOR CHARITY CARE.AMOUNTS DO NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS OR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC PROGRAM PAYMENTS (PRIMARILY MEDICARE AND MEDICAID) AND THE RELATED COSTS OF PROVIDING SUCH SERVICES. TRINITY USES THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN LINE 2.
PART III, LINE 3: TRINITY IS REPORTING $0 ON LINE 3 BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE A RELIABLE ESTIMATE OF THE PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT DID NOT COMPLETE AN APPLICATION.
PART III, LINE 4: SEE THE "PATIENT AND RESIDENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET NOTE ON PAGE 9 OF THE ATTACHED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
PART III, LINE 8: THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 6 WAS DERIVED USING TRINITY HOSPITALS AND KENMARE'S 2019 MEDICARE COST REPORTS.
PART III, LINE 9B: IT IS THE POLICY OF TRINITY TO PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY AND REGION REGARDLESS OF THE CUSTOMER'S ABILITY TO PAY THROUGH CONSISTENT BILLING PRACTICES. ACCOUNTS WILL BE MONITORED TO ENSURE THAT CUSTOMERS ARE BILLED FOR ONLY THOSE SERVICES PROVIDED. TRINITY, THROUGH VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION, IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TIMELY AND ACCURATE BILLING, COLLECTION, AND PATIENT ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE. INFORMATION REGARDING TRINITY'S BILLING AND PAYMENT GUIDELINES, WHICH INCLUDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, ARE AVAILABLE AT REGISTRATION AND BUSINESS SERVICES LOCATIONS. THIS INFORMATION IS COMMUNICATED VERBALLY OR THROUGH THE USE OF THE TRINITY BILLING & PAYMENT GUIDELINES BROCHURE. TO ENHANCE VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS, INTERPRETERS ARE PROVIDED AS NECESSARY.
PART VI, LINE 2: TRINITY HEALTH COMPLETES A THOROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EVERY THREE YEARS, IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 501(R). TRINITY'S FIRST COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013. THE SECOND WAS COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016, AND THE THIRD WAS COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR BOTH YEARS IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT HTTP://WWW.TRINITYHEALTH.ORG/PATIENTS-VISITORS/.
PART VI, LINE 3: TRINITY HEALTH'S HOSPITALS WIDELY PUBLICIZE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION IN ALL OF THE METHODS REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 501(R) AND RELATED REGULATIONS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE INFORMATION ON BILLING STATEMENTS, INFORMATION POSTED IN ADMISSIONS AREAS AND EMERGENCY ROOMS, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED AT ADMISSION. IN ADDITION, PATIENT ACCESS AND BUSINESS OFFICE STAFF ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY ALL CASES THAT WILL QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION. PATIENTS IDENTIFIED AS POSSIBLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CASES ARE ASKED TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FORM AND ARE REFERRED TO THE APPROPRIATE COUNSELOR.
PART VI, LINE 4: ALTHOUGH TRINITY HOSPITAL AND TRINITY HOSPITAL - ST. JOSEPH'S ARE LOCATED IN MINOT, NORTH DAKOTA, WE HAVE HISTORICALLY DEFINED OUR "COMMUNITY" AS A BROADER AREA THAT INCLUDES NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA AS WELL AS A PORTION OF NORTHEASTERN MONTANA. WITHIN THIS BROADER COMMUNITY, APPROXIMATELY TWO-THIRDS OF OUR INPATIENTS AND OUTPATIENTS RESIDE WITHIN IN AND IMMEDIATELY AROUND THE CITY OF MINOT AND WARD COUNTY. UNDERSTANDING OUR COMMUNITY REQUIRES AN UNDERSTANDING OF NORTH DAKOTA'S OIL RESERVES. UNDERLYING NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA IS A MASSIVE ROCK FORMATION, REFERRED TO AS THE BAKKEN SHALE, WHICH HOLDS AN ESTIMATED 18 BILLION BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL. WHEN THIS RESOURCE WAS FIRST DISCOVERED IN 1951, RECOVERING IT WAS FINANCIALLY UNFEASIBLE BECAUSE THE OIL WAS EMBEDDED IN THE STONE. THEN, AROUND 2008, EVERYTHING CHANGED. NEW DRILLING TECHNOLOGY CALLED HYDRAULIC FRACTURING, OR 'FRACKING', BECAME WIDESPREAD, AND OIL PRODUCTION TOOK OFF. AS OF 2013, THERE ARE MORE THAN 200 ACTIVE OIL RIGS IN NORTH DAKOTA, PRODUCING ABOUT 20 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL EVERY MONTH. THE RIGS AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS HAVE RESCULPTED THE LANDSCAPE, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN INVESTED ON INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES ACROSS THE AREA.AS THE PRICE OF OIL PEAKED IN 2015, THEN DROPPED, ALONG WITH SIGNIFICANT OUTFLOWS OF OIL FIELD WORKERS, THE PRICE HAS STABILIZED AND LEASES ARE NEARING RENEWAL, OIL FIELD WORKERS ARE NOW INFLOWING ONCE AGAIN. MAJOR OIL COMPANIES ARE ON THE REHIRE TRACE ONCE AGAIN (FOR APPROXIMATELY 800 WORKERS). ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE OIL FIELD ACTIVITY OCCURS TO THE WEST OF MINOT, OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THE FLUCTUATION OF PEOPLE INTO AND OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY. DEMAND FOR ALMOST EVERY GOOD, FROM HOUSING TO CLOTHING TO FOOD, TO HUMAN CAPITAL HAS FLUCTUATED, AND OUR COMMUNITY HAS STRUGGLED WITH THESE FLUCTUATIONS.
PART VI, LINE 5: IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSE, TRINITY PROVIDES A WIDE VARIETY OF BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING OFFERING VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICE PROGRAMS SUCH AS FREE CLINICS, HEALTH SCREENINGS, IN-HOME CAREGIVER SERVICES, SOCIAL SERVICE AND SUPPORT COUNSELING FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, PASTORAL CARE, CRISIS INTERVENTION, TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE HOSPITAL CAMPUSES, AND THE DONATION OF SPACE FOR USE BY COMMUNITY GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, A LARGE NUMBER OF HEALTH-RELATED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING HEALTH ENHANCEMENTS AND WELLNESS, CLASSES ON SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, TELEPHONE INFORMATION SERVICES, AND COSTS RELATED TO PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE GENERAL STANDARDS OF THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
PART VI, LINE 6: THIS FORM 990 INCLUDES TRINITY HOSPITAL, TRINITY HOSPITAL-ST. JOSEPH'S, AND TRINITY KENMARE HOSPITAL. THESE THREE HOSPITALS ARE PART OF TRINITY HEALTH SYSTEM. TRINITY HEALTH IS THE PARENT ORGANIZATION. THE SYSTEM ALSO INCLUDES TRINITY HEALTH FOUNDATION, TRINITY HOMES, AND COMMUNITY AMBULANCE SERVICE OF MINOT, ALL OF WHICH ARE TAX-EXEMPT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS MEDICAL ARTS OUTPATIENT SERVICES INC.
