MARY'S HEALTH CLINICS (SMHC). SMHC SERVES LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND CHILDREN, BY PROVIDING FREE CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE HEALTH CARE SERVICES.THROUGH THE ACCOUNTABLE HEALTH COMMUNITIES MODEL, CARE TEAMS IN 79 ALLINA HEALTH SITES SCREEN PATIENTS WITH MEDICARE AND/OR MEDICAID INSURANCE FOR FIVE HEALTH-RELATED SOCIAL NEEDS: HOUSING INSTABILITY, FOOD INSECURITY, ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION, DIFFICULTY PAYING FOR HEAT, ELECTRICITY OR OTHER UTILITIES, AND CONCERNS ABOUT INTERPERSONAL SAFETY. IF A PATIENT IDENTIFIES A NEED, THE CARE TEAM PROVIDES A LIST OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES TAILORED TO THE PATIENT'S UNIQUE NEEDS. IN ADDITION, SOME HIGH-RISK PATIENTS RECEIVE CARE TEAM ASSISTANCE NAVIGATING TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES.IN 2021, MORE THAN 60,000 PATIENTS WERE SCREENED FOR HEALTH-RELATED SOCIAL NEEDS THROUGH THIS MODEL. 2021 ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON CLOSING RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN OFFERS TO SCREEN AND SCREEN COMPLETION AND INCLUDED, BUT WERE NOT LIMITED TO: ESTABLISHING GOALS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING PROGRESS, SCRIPTING FOR INTRODUCING THE SCREENING THROUGH AN INTERPRETER AND DEEPENING CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AMONG CARE TEAMS VIA DEVELOPING AND DISTRIBUTING CULTURAL HUMILITY VIDEOS.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C:	CHARITY CARE PROGRAM- ALLINA PARTNERS CARE PROGRAM A KEY COMPONENT OF ALLINA'S MISSION IS TO DELIVER COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND TO ADVOCATE FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS. ALLINA STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY OF PEOPLE WHO NEED HEALTH CARE SERVICES DOES NOT PREVENT THEM FROM SEEKING OR RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE. THEREFORE, ALLINA HAS SEVERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDING A ROBUST CHARITY CARE PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE ALLINA PARTNERS CARE PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES FREE CARE TO ALL PERSONS AT OR BELOW 275 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AS PUBLISHED ANNUALLY IN THE FEDERAL REGISTRAR.THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE "MEDICALLY INDIGENT". THE ORGANIZATION EXTENDS THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM IN INSTANCES THE ORGANIZATION HAS DETERMINED THE PATIENT IS UNABLE TO PAY SOME OR ALL OF THEIR MEDICAL BILLS DUE TO CATASTROPHIC CIRCUMSTANCES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE INCOME OR ASSETS THAT OTHERWISE EXCEED THE GENERALLY APPLICABLE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE FREE CARE PROGRAM OR THE DISCOUNTED CARE PROGRAM (DESCRIBED BELOW) UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM GUIDELINES. DISCOUNTED CARE PROGRAM - UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM ALLINA ALSO HAS A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES A DISCOUNT ON BILLED CHARGES TO UNINSURED PATIENTS, AND INSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE UNINSURED TREATMENT, FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE RECEIVED FROM ANY ALLINA HOSPITAL, HOSPITAL BASED CLINIC AND WHOLLY-OWNED AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS. THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM DOES NOT USE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. INSTEAD, UNINSURED PATIENTS AND INSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE UNINSURED TREATMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCOUNT BASED UPON THEIR INCOME LEVEL AND THE LOCATION OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED. ALL PATIENTS WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME AT OR BELOW $125,000 ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCOUNT. THE DISCOUNT IS ALSO GENERALLY EXTENDED TO PATIENTS WITH AN ANNUAL INCOME ABOVE $125,000. THERE ARE THREE DISCOUNTS LEVELS ESTABLISHED, ONE FOR METRO HOSPITALS, ONE FOR REGIONAL HOSPITALS, AND ONE FOR HOSPITAL BASED CLINICS WITHIN THE ALLINA SYSTEM.ALLINA HEALTH'S UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM PROVIDES A SUBSTANTIAL DISCOUNT TO BILLED CHARGES FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS. THE DISCOUNT IS UPDATED ANNUALLY AND IS BASED ON THE REIMBURSEMENT RATE OF THE NON-GOVERNMENTAL THIRD PARTY PAYER WHICH PROVIDED ALLINA HEALTH THE MOST REVENUE DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
PART I, LINE 6A:	ALLINA'S ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT URL -HTTP://WWW.ALLINAHEALTH.ORG/ABOUT-US/COMMUNITY-INVOLVEMENT/
PART I, LINE 7:	WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE ORGANIZATION USES A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES ("COST TO CHARGE RATIO") TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED FOR PART I, LINE 7 (THE TABLE).
PART I, LINE 7G:	THE AMOUNT REPORTED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	BAD DEBT EXPENSE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 AND HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN COLUMN 7F. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ON FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 2B.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIESUNDERSTANDING THAT GOOD HEALTH IS DEPENDENT ON SOCIETAL, COMMUNITY, AND FAMILY ENVIRONMENTS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL CHOICES, AND IS BIGGER THAN THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE, ALLINA ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES. BELOW ARE EXAMPLES OF WAYS THAT OUR HOSPITALS PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN 2021:WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENTMANY OF ALLINA HEALTH HOSPITALS HAVE TRAIN-TO-WORK PROGRAMS AS A MEANS TO BUILD A FUTURE WORKFORCE WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF OUR ORGANIZATION. BY FOCUSING ON BUILDING THE WORKFORCE, THE GOAL IS THAT THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN PERSONAL EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE STABILITY. MULTIPLE ALLINA HEALTH HOSPITALS HAVE DEVELOPED PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PROCESS. SEVERAL HOSPITALS AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE HOST CAREER DAYS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. RIVER FALLS AREA HOSPITAL ALSO HAS SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN TRAIN TO WORK PROGRAMS, IN PARTICULAR THROUGH AN INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM CALLED PROJECT SEARCH. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES. STUDENTS SPEND NINE MONTHS GAINING REAL-LIFE, TRANSFERRABLE SKILLS AT THE HOSPITAL.COMMUNITY COALITIONSALL ALLINA HEALTH HOSPITALS PARTICIPATE ON LOCAL COMMUNITY COALITIONS AND CIVIC GROUPS, SUCH AS COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCILS AND LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, AS A WAY TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP. THESE COALITIONS PROVIDE THE HOSPITALS THE OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND DETERMINE HOW BEST TO LEVERAGE LOCAL RESOURCES TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT EXIST OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL REALM OF HEALTH CARE. ALLINA HEALTH HOSPITALS ARE PRESENT AT THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO DETERMINE THE ROLE HEALTH CARE CAN PLAY. ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE STATEWIDE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (SHIP), WHICH HAS LOCAL COALITIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE VIA LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES TO WORK ON NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND TOBACCO USE. IN ADDITION, MANY OF OUR LEADERS SERVE ON LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION LEADERSHIP TEAMS, SUCH AS VOLUNTEER BOARDS, TO ADVANCE COMMUNITY WORK.DISASTER PREPAREDNESSIN ADDITION TO COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT RELATED TO ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH, ALLINA HEALTH HOSPITALS ENGAGED IN AND LED DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLANNING TO ENSURE SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND EXCELLENT HEALTH CARE DURING TIMES OF TRAGEDY AND/OR UPSET. THIS INCLUDED PLANNING MEETINGS AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS/TRAININGS, AMONG OTHER THINGS.THESE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, AMONG OTHERS, PROVIDE THE HOSPITALS WITHIN OUR SYSTEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPACT COMMUNITY HEALTH BEFORE IT BECOMES PROBLEMATIC AND EXPENSIVE. IN ADDITION, THIS IMPORTANT WORK IS SUPPORTED BY THE MISSION OF OUR ORGANIZATION AND IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH.
PART III, LINE 2:	SCH H, PART III, SECTION A, LINES 2 & 3THE ORGANIZATION HAS ADOPTED HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION [HFMA] STATEMENT NO. 15, VALUATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION OF CHARITY CARE, IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS AND BAD DEBTS BY INSTITUTIONAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS (STATEMENT 15). THE BAD DEBT AMOUNT STATED FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING PURPOSES IS REPORTED "NET" OF ANY ANTICIPATED PATIENT DISCOUNTS OR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS TO WHICH THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM (DISCUSSED ABOVE) AND REFLECTS THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT REPORTED AS "NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE" DURING THE CURRENT PERIOD OR ANY PREVIOUS PERIOD. THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL THE "COST" TO PROVIDE THE MEDICAL SERVICES. ALSO, NOTE THAT AMOUNTS RELATED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE QUALIFIED UNDER THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM ARE NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER NET PATIENT REVENUE OR IN BAD DEBT EXPENSE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED AS A REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN THE REVENUE SECTION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE FORM 990 DOES NOT INCLUDE AMOUNTS RELATED TO QUALIFIED CHARITY CARE PATIENTS AND IS STATED AT THE "NET" EXPECTED OR ANTICIPATED COLLECTION AMOUNT WHICH MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN PATIENT CHARGES DUE TO THE APPLICATION OF DISCOUNTS SUCH AS THOSE PROVIDED UNDER THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM. THIS AMOUNT ALSO CONSTITUTES A DIFFERENT AMOUNT THAN THE ORGANIZATION'S ACTUAL COST TO PROVIDE THE MEDICAL SERVICES. TO ARRIVE AT THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 2 BAD DEBT "AT COST", THE ORGANIZATION HAS APPLIED A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES (COST TO CHARGE RATIO) TO THE ESTIMATED PATIENT CHARGE AMOUNT INCLUDED IN BAD DEBT AFTER REMOVING THE ANTICIPATED DISCOUNTS. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS CALCULATED INDEPENDENTLY FOR EACH HOSPITAL OR OPERATING UNIT. THE RESULTING BAD DEBT (AT COST) AMOUNT FOR EACH HOSPITAL AND OPERATING UNIT IS THEN AGGREGATED TO ARRIVE AT THE BAD DEBT (AT COST) REPORTED ON LINE 2. THIS PROCESS PROVIDES A VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT (AT COST). THE ORGANIZATION HAS A ROBUST PROCESS FOR ADMINISTERING THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE CHARITY CARE AND UNINSURED DISCOUNT PROGRAM DESCRIBED IN FURTHER DETAIL IN PART VI, LINE 3. EACH PATIENT IS PROVIDED NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY TO THE COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM AND TO PARTICIPATE, IF QUALIFIED, TO RECEIVE FREE OR DISCOUNTED MEDICAL CARE OR BE ENROLLED IN A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED MEDICAL CARE PROGRAM UNDER THE ORGANIZATIONS VARIOUS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS INCLUDES IDENTIFYING ANY PATIENT WITH A FINANCIAL CONCERN, AS WELL AS INFORMING, COUNSELING, QUALIFYING AND ASSISTING PATIENTS TO APPLY FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. ALTHOUGH EACH PATIENT IS PROVIDED NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND INFORMED MULTIPLE TIMES OF THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM PRIOR TO OUR CLASSIFYING THE AMOUNTS AS BAD DEBT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PATIENTS WHO WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE DO NOT COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. THIS AMOUNT IS NOT REASONABLY ESTIMABLE. AS A TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION WE ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, A PERSON WHO WOULD OTHERWISE QUALIFY UNDER THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM MAY NOT PROVIDE US THE NECESSARY INFORMATION, QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAM, AND RECEIVE FREE CARE ALLOWING US TO CLASSIFY AND QUANTIFY IT ACCORDINGLY AND AS SUCH. ULTIMATELY, THOSE AMOUNTS ARE WRITTEN-OFF AND REPORTED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. ANY METHODOLOGY WE COULD USE TO QUANTIFY AND PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH BAD DEBT (AT COST AND IF ANY) REPORTED ON LINE 2 REASONABLY COULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PERSONS WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY AND FOR US TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT PORTION OF BAD DEBT, IF ANY, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES SHOULD CONSTITUTE COMMUNITY BENEFIT WOULD BE PURELY SPECULATIVE, IMPRECISE AND SUBJECT TO INHERENT METHODOLOGY FLAWS. WHILE WE FIRMLY BELIEVE, FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, THAT SOME COMPONENT OF OUR REPORTED BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ON LINE 2 CONSTITUTES AMOUNTS RELATED TO PERSONS WHO LIKELY WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, WE CANNOT REASONABLY QUANTIFY THE AMOUNT AND RESPECTFULLY DECLINE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE AN AMOUNT. THEREFORE, WE HAVE REPORTED ZERO OR NONE FOR FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3.
PART III, LINE 4:	FOOTNOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT THAT DESCRIBE BAD DEBT EXPENSE:SEE ATTACHED AUDIT, FOOTNOTE 2(N) ON PAGE 11
PART III, LINE 8:	THE ORGANIZATION HAS MORE THAN ONE MEDICARE PROVIDER NUMBER AND THEREFORE AGGREGATED THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS AS THE SOURCE FOR THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINES 5 & 6 AS OUTLINED IN THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. FOR MEDICARE COST REPORTS, ALLINA USES A RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES (COST TO CHARGE RATIO) TO DETERMINE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS. GENERALLY, THE RATIO IS CALCULATED AS THE TOTAL MEDICARE ALLOWABLE PATIENT COSTS OVER THE TOTAL PATIENT CHARGES. MEDICARE CHARGES MULTIPLIED BY THIS RATIO EQUALS THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS REPORTED IN THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IS CALCULATED INDEPENDENTLY FOR EACH MEDICARE COST REPORT/PROVIDER NUMBER. ALLINA 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. ALLINA'S PROVIDING OF THESE SERVICES CLEARLY LESSENS THE BURDENS OF 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, LINE 7, OUR MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" CLEARLY EXCEED THE PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE FOR PROVIDING THESE MEDICAL SERVICES UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THE TRUE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE CURRENT MEDICARE PROGRAM IS DEPENDENT ON HOW EFFICIENTLY AND COST EFFECTIVELY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD OPERATE A DIRECT MEDICAL CARE MEDICARE PROGRAM OR ALTERNATIVELY THE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTRACT OUT SUCH SERVICES THROUGH A COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS IN THE OPEN MARKETS FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR SERVICES FACTORING IN ITEMS SUCH AS QUALITY OF CARE, OUTCOMES AND SIMILAR IMPORTANT FACTORS AS COMPARED TO ALLINA'S ACTUAL COSTS OF PROVIDING THE MEDICAL CARE. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL CALCULATION ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7 SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERSTATES ALLINA'S ACTUAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST, ALLINA INCURS SIGNIFICANT COSTS IN EXCESS OF PAYMENTS UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM FOR PROVIDING CERTAIN SERVICES THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO MEDICARE COST REPORTING AND THEREFORE NOT REFLECTED IN OUR COST AMOUNTS ON LINE 6. SECOND, THE LINE 6 LIMITS OUR REPORTED COSTS TO ONLY MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" AS SOLELY DETERMINED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MEDICARE PROGRAM. FOR THESE TWO REASONS, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON LINE 7 SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERSTATES ALLINA'S ACTUAL MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. WE ESTIMATE THESE TWO ITEMS UNDERSTATE ALLINA'S REPORTED MEDICARE SHORTFALL BY OVER $194 MILLION. WE BELIEVE A DIRECT MEDICAL SERVICE MEDICARE PROGRAM OPERATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTRACT OUT THE SERVICES UNDER A COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS MAY EVEN PROVE TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAN ALLINA'S REPORTED MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" ON LINE 6 GIVEN OUR QUALITY OF CARE, SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES AND THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTUAL COSTS WE INCUR AND MEDICARE "ALLOWABLE COSTS" IN PROVIDING CARE UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THEREFORE, WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A TRUE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMPONENT TO OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE FEDERAL MEDICARE PROGRAM.
PART III, LINE 9B:	THE ORGANIZATION'S WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY AND COLLECTION PRACTICES APPLY UNIFORMLY TO ALL PATIENTS AND INCLUDE PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATIONS CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. IF A PATIENT IS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY AFFORDED THE PROGRAM BENEFITS FOR UP TO ONE YEAR AS THEY WOULD HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR US TO MAKE SUCH A DETERMINATION. FOR EXAMPLE, A PATIENT THAT QUALIFIED FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM BEFORE RECEIVING SERVICES WOULD NOT RECEIVE A BILLING STATEMENT FOR THE MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED. IN THE CASE OF A PATIENT QUALIFYING FOR THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AFTER RECEIVING SERVICES AND THE COMMENCEMENT OF CERTAIN COLLECTION ACTIVITIES, THE AMOUNTS ARE DISCHARGED AS CHARITY CARE AND ALL COLLECTION ACTIVITIES CEASE. AS DISCUSSED IN THE RESPONSE TO PART VI, LINE 3, PATIENTS ARE INFORMED AND EDUCATED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AS PART OF THE ROUTINE REGISTRATION, ADMISSION, INTAKE, BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESSES. IF A PATIENT DESIRES TO APPLY FOR THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM, PERSONNEL WILL SEND AN APPLICATION TO THE PATIENT. IF COLLECTION ACTIVITIES HAVE COMMENCED, THOSE ACTIVITIES WILL BE SUSPENDED FOR THIRTY (30) DAYS TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE APPLICATION PROCESS. COLLECTION ACTIVITY MAY RESUME IF, AFTER 30 DAYS, A COMPLETED APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED. IN THE CASE OF AN INCOMPLETE APPLICATION, THE ORGANIZATION MAY RESUME COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IF REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ARE NOT MET WITH A TIMELY RESPONSE. IF AN APPLICANT DOES NOT MEET THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND THE APPLICATION IS DENIED, COLLECTION ACTIVITY MAY RESUME UPON DENIAL. HOWEVER, THE PATIENT MAY STILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS WHICH ARE APPLIED AS WARRANTED BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. SUCH ACTIVITIES ARE FULLY EXPLAINED TO THE PATIENT DURING THE COLLECTION PROCESS.
PART VI, LINE 2:	IN 2019, ALLINA HEALTH CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR EACH OF THE HOSPITALS IN THE SYSTEM. THE PURPOSE WAS TO IDENTIFY LOCAL PRIORITIES FOR EACH HOSPITAL AS WELL AS OVER-ARCHING THEMES FOR THE HEALTH SYSTEM TO ADDRESS FOR FY 2020-2022. TO RESPOND TO LOCAL NEEDS AND RESOURCES, EACH ALLINA HEALTH HOSPITAL CONDUCTED ITS 2020-2022 CHNA INDEPENDENTLY. THE HOSPITALS WORKED CLOSELY WITH LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH. THESE INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THESE COUNTIES: ANOKA COUNTY, BROWN COUNTY, CARVER COUNTY, DAKOTA COUNTY, HENNEPIN COUNTY, ISANTI COUNTY, RAMSEY COUNTY, ST. CROIX COUNTY, STEELE COUNTY, SCOTT COUNTY, WASHINGTON COUNTY, WRIGHT COUNTY, AND PEIRCE COUNTY. SOME ALSO COLLABORATED WITH OTHER HEALTH SYSTEMS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. WHERE POSSIBLE, THE HOSPITAL ALIGNED THEIR PROCESS WITH ASSESSMENTS BEING CONDUCTED BY LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES. IN MANY CASES, THE HOSPITALS CONDUCTED THE CHNA JOINTLY WITH PARTNERS, WITH SHARED LEADERSHIP THROUGHOUT. THE CHNA PROCESS OCCURRED IN THREE STEPS: DATA REVIEW AND PRIORITIZATION, COMMUNITY INPUT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THREE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. MOST HOSPITALS USED THE MOBILIZING FOR ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS (MAPP) COMMUNITY-DRIVEN STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS FOR IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH. THE OFFICIAL CHNA PROCESS BEGAN IN JUNE 2018 AND WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST 2019. EACH HOSPITAL'S CHNA TEAM REVIEWED COUNTY-SPECIFIC DATA RELATED TO DEMOGRAPHICS, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, PREVALENCE OF HEALTH CONDITIONS AND HEALTH CARE ACCESS. SOURCES VARIED, BUT INCLUDED THE MINNESOTA STUDENT SURVEY, HEALTH SURVEYS CONDUCTED BY LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, LOCAL RESEARCH STUDIES ON TOPICS SUCH AS HOUSING AND SECONDARY PUBLIC HEALTH DATA AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. ADDITIONALLY, TEAMS REVIEWED SELECT COUNTY-SPECIFIC ALLINA HEALTH PATIENT DATA. MANY HOSPITALS ALSO COLLECTED FEEDBACK ON PERCEIVED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS FROM LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH COMMUNITY DIALOGUES, INTERVIEWS AND SURVEYS. BASED ON THE DATA REVIEW AND COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, LOCAL CHNA TEAMS CHOSE CHNA PRIORITIES FOR THE 2020-2022 CYCLE. SPECIFIC PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA WAS DETERMINED LOCALLY, BUT SIZE AND SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM, IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY TO ADDRESS THE NEED WERE ALL CONSIDERED. HOSPITAL PRIORITIES INCLUDE:- MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS, INCLUDING SUBSTANCE USE- OBESITY, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION- ACCESS TO CARE- SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH- SOCIAL ISOLATION- VIOLENCE- DENTAL CARE- AGING SERVICESTO INCREASE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS' PERSPECTIVES ON IDENTIFIED HEALTH ISSUES AND IDEAS FOR ADDRESSING THEM, STAFF SOLICITED INPUT FROM INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SUCH AS STAFF FROM SOCIAL SERVICE AND PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS AND RESIDENTS. STAFF COLLECTED FEEDBACK THROUGH A RANGE OF METHODS, INCLUDING FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS. FOCUSED OUTREACH OCCURRED TO HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WHO EXPERIENCE HEALTH DISPARITIES. IN FEBRUARY AND APRIL 2019, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT LEADERS FROM EACH OF ALLINA HEALTH'S HOSPITALS DISCUSSED THE RESULTS OF EACH HOSPITAL'S DATA REVIEW, PRIORITIZATION AND COMMUNITY INPUT PROCESSES. PRIORITIES AND COMMON THEMES FOR ACTION WERE IDENTIFIED ACROSS ALL GEOGRAPHIES. TOGETHER, THEY IDENTIFIED MENTAL HEALTH (INCLUDING SUBSTANCE USE) AND OBESITY CAUSED BY PHYSICAL INACTIVITY AND POOR NUTRITION AS PRIORITY NEEDS IN ALL ALLINA HEALTH GEOGRAPHIES. THEY ALSO IDENTIFIED SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, PARTICULARLY ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD AND STABLE HOUSING, AS KEY FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO HEALTH. ALL ALLINA HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND ACTION PLANS WERE APPROVED BY LOCAL FACILITIES AND THE ALLINA HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS BY DECEMBER 2019. COPIES OF EACH FACILITY'S NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT AND ACTION PLAN CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.ALLINAHEALTH.ORG/ABOUT-US/COMMUNITY-INVOLVEMENT/NEED-ASSESSMENTS/2020-2022-NEEDS-ASSESSMENTS-AND-IMPLEMENTATION-PLANSONCE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE CREATED, MORE DETAILED PLANNING CONTINUES WITH STAKEHOLDER TO DEVELOP AND DELIVER SPECIFIC PROGRAMS, SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES EITHER LOCALLY OR SYSTEM-WIDE.IN ADDITION TO THE FORMAL CHNA, ALLINA HEALTH HOSPITALS ASSESS COMMUNITY NEED ON AN ONGOING BASIS THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY DIALOGUES AND COALITIONS, AND IN ONGOING DATA REVIEW IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PUBLIC HEALTH AND LOCAL NONPROFITS.

PART I, LINE 6	DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS TERMS AND CONDITIONS: ALLINA INCENTIVE PLAN ALLINA PROVIDES AN ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY FOR EXECUTIVES, MANAGEMENT AND KEY INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR STAFF. UNDER THIS PLAN, THE TARGET AWARD IS EXPRESSED AS A FUNCTION OF THE PARTICIPANT'S SALARY PAID DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR AND REQUIRES AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS OF SERVICE IN AN ELIGIBLE POSITION DURING THE YEAR. ACTUAL AWARDS CAN RANGE FROM 0% TO 150% OF THE TARGET AWARD, BASED ON ALLINA'S FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OVER THE CALENDAR YEAR. NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES INCLUDE PATIENT & EMPLOYEE SAFETY, QUALITY, PATIENT EXPERIENCE AND FINANCIAL HEALTH. NO AWARDS ARE PROVIDED UNLESS THRESHOLD FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IS ACHIEVED. PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE LEFT EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE YEAR AS THE RESULT OF VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OR TERMINATION FOR POOR PERFORMANCE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR AN AWARD. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN ALLINA HAS A LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN THAT PROVIDES A CASH AWARD OPPORTUNITY TO A SMALL NUMBER OF TOP EXECUTIVES APPROVED FOR PARTICIPATION BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES & COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ALLINA HEALTH ("THE COMMITTEE"). THE AWARD OPPORTUNITY IS BASED ON ALLINA PERFORMANCE DURING OVERLAPPING THREE-YEAR CYCLES. PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND TARGETS ARE DEFINED BY THE COMMITTEE FOR EACH THREE-YEAR PERIOD AND CAN VARY FROM ONE PERIOD TO ANOTHER DEPENDING ON THE COMMITTEE'S JUDGMENT OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MEASURES OF SUCCESS. AWARDS CAN RANGE FROM 0% TO 150% OF TARGET AWARDS.

SCHEDULE J, LINE 4(A) & (B)	ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES: DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS - TERMS AND CONDITIONS: EXECUTIVE MUTUAL FUND ACCOUNT PLAN PHYSICIAN MUTUAL FUND ACCOUNT PLAN THESE ACCOUNTS GIVE THE PARTICIPANT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CAPITAL ACCUMULATION NOT FULLY AVAILABLE TO THEM THROUGH SOCIAL SECURITY OR THE GENERAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS BECAUSE OF MAXIMUMS PLACED ON COMPENSATION THAT CAN BE RECOGNIZED UNDER FEDERAL LAW FOR PURPOSES OF CONTRIBUTIONS. THEY ALSO SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT NON-COMPETE INCENTIVE TO PARTICIPANTS. PRIOR TO THE YEAR IN WHICH CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE, THE PARTICIPANT MUST DESIGNATE A VESTING/PAYOUT DATE CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE PLANS AND FEDERAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION REGULATIONS. AFTER THE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE, THE PARTICIPANT HAS A ONE-TIME LIMITED OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND THE ELECTED PAYMENT DATE FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. ONCE THE VESTING/PAYOUT DATE HAS BEEN REACHED, ALLINA WILL WITHHOLD THE APPROPRIATE TAXES AND THE BALANCE WILL BE PAID TO THE PARTICIPANT ON THEIR PAYCHECK AS SOON AS ADMINISTRATIVELY FEASIBLE. IF THE PARTICIPANT TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT VOLUNTARILY BEFORE AN AMOUNT IS PAID, PAYMENT WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE PARTICIPANT'S COMPLIANCE WITH A NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT WITH ALLINA FOR TWO YEARS AFTER TERMINATION. THE PARTICIPANT MAY ELECT FROM AMONG INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE AVAILABLE IN THE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN. UNLIKE THE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN, THE PARTICIPANT HAS THE STATUS OF AN UNSECURED CREDITOR OF ALLINA AND WILL NOT HAVE A PRIORITY CLAIM TO PAYMENT IN THE CASE OF THE COMPANY'S INABILITY TO PAY. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY DOES SET ASIDE ASSETS FOR ITS OBLIGATIONS BY ACTUALLY INVESTING THE PROMISED ASSETS CONSISTENT WITH PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS. THE MUTUAL FUND PLANS TERMINATED EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 31, 2018. ALL MUTUAL FUND ACCOUNTS SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED IN A LUMP SUM NO LATER THAN JANUARY 2021, OR IF ELECTED BY THE PARTICIPANT IN DECEMBER 2018, IN THREE ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS WITH THE FIRST HAVING BEEN MADE FEBRUARY 2019 (33.33 PERCENT OF ACCOUNT BALANCE), THE SECOND MADE FEBRUARY 2020 (50 PERCENT OF REMAINING BALANCE), AND THE THIRD MADE JANUARY 2021 (REMAINING BALANCE). ALLINA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN ELIGIBLE ALLINA EXECUTIVES PARTICIPAPTED IN A DEFINED CONTRIBUTION SERP. THIS PLAN WAS AMENDED AND FROZEN EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 31, 2008, SUCH THAT NO FUTURE BENEFITS ACCRUE FOR SERVICE AFTER THAT DATE.

DEPOSITS EARN THE INVESTMENT RATE OF RETURN EQUAL TO THE PENSION ACCOUNT PLAN CREDITING RATE AS DECLARED BY ALLINA. THE CURRENT RATE IS 4%. THE PARTICIPANT VESTS AFTER THREE YEARS OF EXECUTIVE SERVICE PROVIDED THAT IF THE PARTICIPANT TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT WITH ALLINA PRIOR TO AGE 65 FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN ELIMINATION OF POSITION, THE PARTICIPANT MUST FULFILL THE TERMS OF A COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. BENEFITS ARE PAID AS A SINGLE LUMP-SUM AMOUNT UPON AGE 65, RETIREMENT OR JOB POSITION ELIMINATION. IN THE CASE OF OTHER VOLUNTARY TERMINATIONS, PAYMENT IS DELAYED UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE TWO-YEAR NON-COMPETE PERIOD. THE SERP IS PAYABLE FROM ALLINA'S GENERAL ASSETS. IF ALLINA BECOMES INSOLVENT, THE PARTICIPANT WILL BE AN UNSECURED CREDITOR AND WILL HAVE NO PRIORITY CLAIM TO ANY ASSETS. ALLINA EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN ELIGIBLE ALLINA EXECUTIVES PARTICIPATE IN A DEFERRED COMPENSATION RETIREMENT PLAN. EXECUTIVES ARE CREDITED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EXCESS AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CREDITED TO THE ALLINA RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN WERE IT NOT FOR THE QUALIFIED PLAN COMPENSATION LIMITS. EMPLOYER CREDITS ARE MADE EACH YEAR TO THEIR ACCOUNT BALANCE ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE AS OF THE END OF THE PLAN YEAR: PARTICIPANT'S YEARS OF VESTING SERVICE APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE LESS THAN 1 0% 1-5 5.0% 6-10 5.5% 11-15 6.0% 16 OR MORE 6.5% DEPOSITS EARN THE INVESTMENT RATE OF RETURN EQUAL TO THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS SELECTED BY THE PARTICIPANT WHICH ARE THE SAME OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE QUALIFIED PLAN. A PARTICIPANT WHO HAS COMPLETED AT LEAST TWO YEARS OF SERVICE BECOMES VESTED IN THE PORTION OF HIS OR HER ACCOUNT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ANNUAL CREDIT FOR A PARTICULAR YEAR AS OF JANUARY 15 OF THE YEAR FOLLOWING THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH THE ANNUAL CREDIT IS EARNED. IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION (OTHER THAN BECAUSE OF DEATH) PRIOR TO AGE 67, THE DISTRIBUTION DATE SHALL BE AS SOON AS ADMINISTRATIVELY POSSIBLE AFTER TERMINATION IN THE FORM OF A LUMP SUM PAYMENT. THE PLAN IS PAYABLE FROM ALLINA'S GENERAL ASSETS. IF ALLINA BECOMES INSOLVENT, THE PARTICIPANT WILL BE AN UNSECURED CREDITOR AND WILL HAVE NO PRIORITY CLAIM TO ANY ASSETS. THIS PLAN WAS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009 AND FROZEN EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 31, 2018. EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN ALLINA PROVIDES SALARY CONTINUATION FOR EXECUTIVES WHOSE EMPLOYMENT HAS BEEN INVOLUNTARILY TERMINATED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN CAUSE OR POOR PERFORMANCE. THE LENGTH OF THE SEVERANCE PAY PERIOD IS DEFINED BY THE PLAN AND DEPENDS ON THE LEVEL OF THE EXECUTIVE POSITION. UNDER THE PLAN THE SEVERED EXECUTIVE ALSO COULD CONTINUE CERTAIN BENEFITS FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME. IN 2009 THE PLAN WAS AMENDED TO FURTHER RESTRICT SEVERANCE BENEFITS IN THE CASE THAT THE EXECUTIVE OBTAINS OTHER EMPLOYMENT DURING THE SEVERANCE PERIOD. SUPPLEMENTAL PHYSICIAN AND EXECUTIVE SAVINGS PLAN THIS PLAN'S PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE A SELECT GROUP OF PHYSICIANS AND EXECUTIVES WITH ADDITIONAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION. AMOUNTS DEFERRED UNDER THE PLAN ARE INTENDED TO BE EXEMPT FROM CODE SECTION 409A AND 457(F). ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE EACH FEBRUARY AND ARE BASED ON PREVIOUS YEAR'S ELIGIBLE COMPENSATION.
