THIS LIST WAS PRESENTED TO THE LOCAL NEEDS PRIORITIZATION COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF STAKEHOLDERS ASSEMBLED FROM THROUGHOUT THE CHRISTUS SOUTHEAST TEXAS HEALTH SYSTEM SERVICE AREA. THE COMMITTEE WAS ASKED TO (A) VALIDATE THE DATA-BASED PRIORITIES, AND (B) DISTILL AND RANK THE LIST OF TEN PRIORITIES INTO A TARGETED, ACTIONABLE GROUP OF FIVE. PARTICIPANTS IN THE NEEDS PRIORITIZATION PROCESS WERE ENCOURAGED TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WHEN SELECTING WHAT NEEDS TO ELEVATE IN IMPORTANCE OVER OTHERS: -MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM (NUMBER OF PEOPLE AFFECTED) -SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM (BURDEN OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY DUE TO THE PROBLEM) -ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM -IMPACT OF THE PROBLEM ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS -EXISTING RESOURCES ALREADY ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM -RISK ASSOCIATED WITH DELAYING TARGETED INTERVENTION ON THE PROBLEM -INFLUENCE ONE PROBLEM MAY HAVE ON ADDRESSING OTHER RELATED PROBLEMS THE TOP FIVE NEEDS DECIDED BY THE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WERE: ACCESS TO MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH; ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE; TRANSPORTATION; HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES; AND FOOD INSECURITY. CHRISTUS SOUTHEAST TEXAS HEALTH SYSTEM (CSETHS) WILL ENHANCE ACCESS TO MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BY STRENGTHENING AWARENESS AND TRAINING ABOUT MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TO IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO SERVE PATIENTS WITH BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS AND PROTECT PATIENTS FROM OTHER PATIENTS DISPLAYING SIGNS ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISORDERS. CSETHS HAS A THREE-PRONG STRATEGY TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE. THIS INCLUDES COLLABORATION WITH FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS TO ENSURE PATIENTS HAVE A MEDICAL HOME, GREATER USE OF BILINGUAL OUTREACH WORKERS TO HELP PATIENTS AVOID HOSPITALIZATION THROUGH PREVENTION AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT, AND EFFORTS TO RECRUIT MORE PROVIDERS IN ITS OWN PHYSICIAN GROUP. TRANSPORTAION NEEDS CAN BE PROBLEMATIC TO RESOLVE DUE TO THE MANY VARIED INDIVIDUAL PATIENT SITUATIONS. CSETHS WILL PUBLISH INFORMATION TO HELP THE PUBLIC BE AWARE OF MEDICAID TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, SOUTHEAST TEXAS TRANSIT, GULF COAST FQHC, AND OTHER SERVICES. RESEARCH OF UBER OR LYFT TRANSPORATION MAY RESULT IN CONTRACTS TO LEVERAGE THESE RESOURCES. IN ADDITION, CONTRACTING TO PROVIDE A VAN MAY BE CONSIDERED. HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY INVESTING IN EDUCATION, DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT IN HYPERTENSION, INCLUDING THE USE OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER. FOOD INSECURITY IS BEING ADDRESSED BY MOBILIZING STAFF AND COLLABORATING WITH FOOD BANKS, INCLUDING THE NEW CATHOLIC CHARITIES FOOD BANK TO EMPHASIZE FRESH PRODUCE, PANTRIES THAT ACT AS FOOD BANK SATELLITES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY BASED NONPROFITS TO ADDRESS THIS, SUCH AS SENIOR NUTRITION SERVICES (MEALS ON WHEELS). NEEDS THAT THE COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUP DID NOT PRIORITIZE AS THE TOP FIVE TO BE MET INCLUDED UNHEALTHY BEHAVIORS, PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL STAYS, MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH, COPD, AND DIABETES. ALL OF THESE WERE RECOGNIZED AS IMPORTANT BUT THEY WERE ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED TO THE EXTENT THAT COMMUNITY RESOURCES ALLOWED AND OTHER NEEDS WERE EVEN GREATER. PRIORITIES WERE EVALUATED ACCORDING TO ISSUE PREVALENCE AND SEVERITY, BASED ON COUNTY AND REGIONAL SECONDARY DATA. INPUT PROVIDED BY KEY INFORMANTS, FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WAS ALSO HEAVILY CONSIDERED, ESPECIALLY FOR PRIORITY AREAS WHERE SECONDARY DATA ARE LESS AVAILABLE. THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERED A NUMBER OF CRITERIA IN DISTILLING TOP PRIORITIES, INCLUDING MAGNITUDE AND SEVERITY OF EACH PROBLEM, CSETHS ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, IMPACT OF THE PROBLEM ON VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, EXISTING RESOURCES ALREADY ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM, AND POTENTIAL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH DELAYING INTERVENTION ON THE PROBLEM.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - See Schedule H, Part V, Section A. UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY, PATIENTS WHO WERE UNINSURED AND MET CERTAIN FINANCIAL CRITERIA WERE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 15 Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - See Schedule H, Part V, Section A. IN ADDITION TO REGULAR APPLICATIONS, THE HOSPITAL ALSO ASSESSED PATIENTS FOR PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY TO FACILITATE GIVING ASSISTANCE TO NEEDY PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTED ELECTRONIC ELIGIBILITY TOOLS THAT USED PATIENT DEMOGRAPHIC DATA, CREDIT REPORTS, AND OTHER PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION TO ESTIMATE A PATIENT'S INCOME, ASSETS, AND LIQUIDITY. PATIENTS WERE SCREENED AS PART OF THE COLLECTION ATTEMPT PROCESS. WHEN ELECTRONIC SCREENING WAS USED AS THE BASIS FOR PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY, THE HIGHEST DISCOUNT OF FULL FREE CARE WAS GRANTED FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES FOR RETROSPECTIVE DATES OF SERVICE ONLY. IF A PATIENT DID NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE ELECTRONIC ENROLLMENT PROCESS, THE PATIENT COULD STILL BE CONSIDERED UNDER THE TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 16 Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - See Schedule H, Part V, Section A. A SUMMARY OF THE POLICY AND DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE WAS WIDELY AVAILABLE AT WWW.CHRISTUSHEALTH.ORG/CHARITYCARE. (THIS WEBSITE WAS THE FIRST RESULT IN GOOGLE WHEN PATIENTS SEARCHED FOR THE HOSPITAL NAME AND CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.) EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2016, THE INDIVIDUAL HOSPITAL'S HOMEPAGE HAD A CONSPICUOUS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE LINK DIRECTING PATIENTS TO THE CHARITY CARE HOMEPAGE. COUNSELORS ALSO PUBLICIZED THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DURING ONE-ON-ONE VISITS WITH PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL ATTEMPTED TO PROVIDE ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS WITH FINANCIAL COUNSELING. SPENDING TIME FACE-TO-FACE WITH PATIENTS ALLOWED COUNSELORS TO FACILITATE THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR PATIENTS WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT HAVE SOUGHT ASSISTANCE. COUNSELORS HELPED COMPLETE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS AND EVALUATE PAYMENT PLANS FOR OUTSTANDING BALANCES. UNINSURED PATIENTS WERE SCREENED FOR MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY, AND COUNSELORS ALSO ASSISTED ELIGIBLE PATIENTS IN COMPLETING THOSE APPLICATIONS.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 20 Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - See Schedule H, Part V, Section A. WHEN COLLECTION CALLS RESULTED IN PATIENT CONTACT, BUSINESS AGENTS PERFORMED A VERBAL SCREENING TO SEE IF THE PATIENT MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE. IN ADDITION, BILLING STATEMENTS CONTAINED THE FOLLOWING NOTICE: "YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED UPON YOUR INCOME LEVEL. IF YOU DO NOT QUALIFY AND CANNOT MAKE PAYMENT IN FULL, WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO SET UP AN ACCEPTABLE PAYMENT PLAN."

Schedule H, Part III, Line 1 BAD DEBT REPORTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH HFMA STATEMENT 15	CHRISTUS HEALTH FOLLOWS IN PRINCIPLE HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION STATEMENT NO. 15. THE SYSTEM HAS ADOPTED AN UNCOMPENSATED CARE POLICY WHERE REVENUE FROM SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE UNINSURED IS RECOGNIZED AT THE TIME OF PAYMENT, RATHER THAN AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS POLICY IS THE RESULT OF A LACK OF REASONABLE ASSURANCE OF COLLECTION FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE UNINSURED DUE TO THE SYSTEM'S HISTORICALLY LOW COLLECTION RATE. MANAGEMENT HAS ESTIMATED THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECORDING REVENUE FROM THE UNINSURED ON A CASH BASIS, RATHER THAN THE ACCRUAL BASIS, IS IMMATERIAL. ACCORDINGLY, ALL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM THE UNINSURED HAVE BEEN FULLY RESERVED IN THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOMPENSATED CARE.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount	THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (TOTAL OF ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES) IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, WHICH IS COMPUTED AS BAD DEBT NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE, PAYMENTS RECEIVED AND RECOVERIES OF BAD DEBT PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN OFF.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology	THE FILING ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THAT SOME PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO SEEK FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO BARRIERS SUCH AS EDUCATIONAL LEVEL, LITERACY, DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS, OR BEING INTIMIDATED BY THE APPLICATION PROCESS. IN ORDER TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT HAVE NOT SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION, THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGED PARO DECISION SUPPORT, LLC. PARO CHARITY SCORE IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS THAT LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BASED ON A PREDICTIVE MODEL AND OTHER FINANCIAL AND ASSET ESTIMATES FOR THE PATIENT DERIVED FROM PUBLIC RECORD SOURCES. IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS THAT WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA WERE ESTABLISHED BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL DATA OF CHRISTUS HEALTH AND ITS RELATED ORGANIZATIONS: 1. PARO SCORE OF LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 586, WHICH IS A PREDICTOR DEFINING THE LIKELY SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS FOR THE PATIENT; 2. ESTIMATED FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL OF LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 226%, WHICH IS BASED ON ESTIMATED HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND HOUSEHOLD ESTIMATED INCOME; AND 3. THIRD PARTY DATA AVAILABLE ON PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH INDICATE THAT THE PATIENT IS NOT A HOMEOWNER OR A PROBABLE HOMEOWNER. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011, THE ORGANIZATION REPORTED THAT 30% OF BAD DEBT EXPENSES WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT WERE NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS EXISTING AT THAT TIME. THIS FIGURE WAS BASED ON THE PARO ANALYSIS AND ESTIMATES OF PATIENTS' FINANCIAL NEEDS THAT EXAMINED WHETHER PATIENTS WERE CHARACTERISTIC OF OTHERS WHO HISTORICALLY QUALIFIED FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE TRADITIONAL APPLICATION PROCESS. THE PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE ANALYSIS PERFORMED FOR THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR DETERMINED A BENCHMARK OF BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS IN THE CHRISTUS HEALTH SYSTEM THAT LACKED THE INFORMATION TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE UNDER THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S CUSTOMARY PROCESS BUT WOULD HAVE LIKELY QUALIFIED FOR ASSISTANCE. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2022, THE ORGANIZATION UTILIZED THE PARO SCORE TO IDENTIFY THE ACCOUNTS OF INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS THAT WERE LIKELY ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DESPITE HAVING NOT COMPLETED AN APPLICATION, AND SUCH ANALYSIS DETERMINED THAT 3.73% OF SUCH ACCOUNTS WERE LIKELY ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE ORGANIZATION GRANTED PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY FOR THESE ACCOUNTS AND THEY WERE RECLASSIFIED UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THESE AMOUNTS WERE NOT REPORTED AS BAD DEBT. THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 3 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE BENCHMARK ESTABLISHED IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011 AND THE AGGREGATE OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE ORGANIZATION GRANTED PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2022. THUS, THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES THAT ONLY 0.63% OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSES IN FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2022 ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY HAVE QUALIFIED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE FIGURE CALCULATED FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2022 WAS ESTIMATED AND NOT EXACT, AND THEREFORE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNTS QUALIFIED AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY CARE IN ANY FISCAL YEAR MAY VARY FROM THE BENCHMARK ESTABLISHED IN FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	THE FOOTNOTE TO THE CHRISTUS HEALTH CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SAYS, "THE PREPARATION OF THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN CONFORMITY WITH ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES (U.S. GAAP) REQUIRES MANAGEMENT OF THE SYSTEM TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, ESTIMATES, AND JUDGMENTS THAT AFFECT THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO, AND RELATED DISCLOSURES OF COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, IF ANY AT THE DATE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MANAGEMENT RELIES ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE AND ON OTHER ASSUMPTIONS BELIEVED TO BE REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN MAKING ITS JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THESE ESTIMATES."
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit methodology for determining medicare costs	THE MEDICAL CENTER USES MEDICARE COST REPORT METHODOLOGY, WHICH APPORTIONS ROUTINE COSTS (ROOM AND BOARD) BASED ON MEDICARE OR MEDICAID DAYS TO TOTAL DAYS AND APPORTIONS ANCILLARY COSTS BASED ON PROGRAM CHARGES TO TOTAL CHARGES.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	IT IS THE POLICY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO PURSUE COLLECTIONS OF PATIENT BALANCES FROM PATIENTS WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THESE SERVICES. CHRISTUS HEALTH APPLIES ITS COLLECTION EFFORTS CONSISTENTLY AND FAIRLY TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE. IF A PATIENT DOES NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THEIR OUTSTANDING BALANCES, THE GOAL OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO QUALIFY THESE PATIENTS THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY POLICY OR SCREEN THE PATIENTS THROUGH ORGANIZATION'S PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY TESTS. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES UNDER EITHER POLICY THE ACCOUNT WILL BE WRITTEN OFF BASED UPON LEVEL OF QUALIFICATION. THESE POLICIES SUPPORT THE MISSION AND VISION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ARE APPROVED BY SENIOR LEADERSHIP.

THE OBJECTIVES FOR FY 2019 ARE PROPOSED TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE CARE IN CLINICALLY APPROPRIATE SETTINGS, THUS REDUCING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS AND PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATIONS. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES OF CHRISTUS HEALTH SOUTHEAST TEXAS ARE TO RESPOND TO THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS THROUGH ITS THREE-CAMPUS HOSPITAL SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE CLINICS, PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, OUTPATIENT SERVICES AND COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS.

PATIENTS ARE GIVEN INFORMATION AND FORMS BY A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WHO HELPS THEM COMPLETE THE FORMS DURING THEIR INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT VISITS. PATIENTS ARE ASKED TO BRING OR MAIL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION TO DETERMINE INCOME, ASSETS AND HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES. THE BUSINESS OFFICE REVIEWS THE APPLICATION BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PATIENT. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE OR A DISCOUNT, A NEW BILL IS GENERATED. PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION ARE CONSIDERED INELIGIBLE AND ARE BILLED ACCORDINGLY. IF THE DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED AT A LATER TIME, THE PATIENT MAY THEN BE DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR A DISCOUNT. DOCUMENTATION IS RETAINED BY THE BILLING OFFICE FOR SEVEN YEARS. A PUBLIC NOTICE REGARDING THE CHARITY CARE POLICY IS POSTED IN PROMINENT PLACES THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITALS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WAITING AREAS AND THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE WAITING AREAS, AS REQUIRED BY BOTH THE STATE OF TEXAS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD (WHICH ADDRESSES THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF NONPROFIT HOSPITALS) AND CHRISTUS HEALTH COMMUNITY BENEFIT GUIDELINES #050.

THE AVAILABILITY OF PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO ARE GROWING OLDER AND LEAVING THE WORKFORCE WAS DESCRIBED AS LIMITED, AND PARTICIPANTS STRESSED THE NEED FOR CHRISTUS TO PLAN PROACTIVELY AND WITH URGENCY FOR THE NEEDS OF THE OVER-65 AGE GROUP. THE REPORT AREA IS HOME TO A RACIALLY AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE POPULATION THAT DIFFERS SLIGHTLY IN COMPOSITION FROM THE RACIAL/ETHNIC DEMOGRAPHICS OF TEXAS.

Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds.

THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS CHRISTUS HEALTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE NO. 0006, CONTRIBUTIONS/DONATIONS TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. BEFORE ANY DONATION IS MADE, TWO CRITERIA ARE ADDRESSED: (1) ORGANIZATION TEST AND (2) IRS TEST. THE ORGANIZATION TEST ENSURES THAT DONATIONS ARE EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC, EDUCATIONAL, AND RELIGIOUS PURPOSES, AND IN FURTHERANCE OF OUR PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST AND ADVANCING, PROMOTING, AND SUPPORTING THE HEALTHCARE MINISTRIES OF THE SPONSORING CONGREGATIONS. CONTRIBUTIONS CAN BE MADE TO SUPPORT CHRISTUS SYSTEM MEMBERS AND TO OTHER QUALIFYING TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS, PARTICULARLY THOSE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT AND BENEFIT THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED. THE ORGANIZATIONS CONSIDERED ARE TYPICALLY IRS SECTION 501(C)(3) AND OTHER TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION TO THAT EFFECT IS OBTAINED. TO SATISFY THE IRS TEST CONTRIBUTIONS GIVEN MUST BE DEDICATED TO ACHIEVING CHARITABLE PURPOSES NOT FOR PERSONAL BENEFIT BUT FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE PROHIBITED TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS, CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE, OR CONDUCT MORE THAN INCIDENTAL LOBBYING. DOCUMENTATION MUST SUPPORT HOW THE DONATION MEETS ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES AND FURTHERANCE OF MISSION. DONATIONS SHOULD BE MODEST IN SCOPE. THE FILING ORGANIZATION PROVIDES INDIGENT FUNDING GRANTS TO THE COUNTIES IN WHICH CHRISTUS HEALTH AFFILIATED HOSPITALS SERVE VIA GRANTS PAID TO OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED WITHIN SUCH COUNTIES. THIS CHARITABLE DONATION HELPS RELIEVE THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE OF HEALTHCARE FOR THE INDIGENT POPULATION WITHIN CHRISTUS HEALTH'S COMMUNITIES THAT THE FILING ORGANIZATION MAY NOT DIRECTLY SERVE IN ONE OF ITS HOSPITALS. THIS IS A RESULT OF OUR MISSION TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST, ESPECIALLY TO THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED.

Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions	TAXABLE COMPENSATION WAS REPORTED TO VARIOUS OFFICERS AND BOARD MEMBERS RELATED TO COMPANION TRAVEL TO CHRISTUS MEETINGS.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation	THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS AN EMPLOYEE OF CHRISTUS HEALTH, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. AS A RESULT, COMPENSATION IS ESTABLISHED AT THE CHRISTUS HEALTH LEVEL AND THE FILING ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE A ROLE IN IMPLEMENTING THE METHODS USED TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION OR IN DETERMINING CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION. CHRISTUS HEALTH USES AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE TO ESTABLISH AND APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THIS COMMITTEE USES AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT WHO PERFORMS BI-ANNUAL COMPENSATION SURVEY.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan	DEFERRED COMPENSATION INCLUDES EXECUTIVE DEFERRED INCOME ACCOUNT, SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AND RETENTION PLAN, AND PENSION RESTORATION PLAN. ESTIMATED PENSION BENEFITS WERE CALCULATED BASED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THE CURRENT PENSION RESTORATION PLAN AT 6% OF PENSIONABLE EARNINGS WHICH ARE OVER THE IRS LEGISLATIVE COMPENSATION LIMIT. SOME ASSOCIATES ARE GRANDFATHERED UNDER AN EARLIER LEGACY PENSION PLAN. IF A PARTICIPANT HAS PROTECTED PENSION BENEFITS UNDER SUCH LEGACY PLANS, HIS/HER PERCENTAGE IS ZERO UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AND RETENTION PLAN, AS THE PROTECTED BENEFIT IS ALREADY EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN CURRENT MARKET. SHAWN ADAMS RECEIVED $66,249 DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2021 UNDER A SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN. RODNEY GUIDROZ RECEIVED $52,535 DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2021 UNDER A SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN. D. WAYNE MOORE RECEIVED $38,665 DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2021 UNDER A SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN.
Schedule J, Part II SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION INFORMATION	DIRECTORS AND EX-OFFICIO DIRECTORS PROVIDE THEIR SERVICES AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WITHOUT COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS. ANY COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DISCLOSED FOR SUCH PERSONS IS EARNED IN THE RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL'S ROLE AS AN OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE OF THE ORGANIZATION, NOT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL'S ROLE AS A BOARD MEMBER OR DIRECTOR. SISTERS' COMPENSATION IS PAID TO THE RELIGIOUS CONGREGATION AND NOT THE INDIVIDUAL. OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND HIGHEST PAID EMPLOYEES ARE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES. BOARD MEMBERS SPEND TIME AS NEEDED FOR BOARD MEETINGS AND FUNCTIONS.
Schedule J, Part II SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION INFORMATION	THE BONUS AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION REPORTED AS RELATED COMPENSATION WAS PAID TO THE FOLLOWING PERSONS BY CHRISTUS HEALTH, A RELATED ORGANIZATION OF THE FILING ENTITY: PAUL M. TREVINO - $296,460 SHAWN M. ADAMS - $125,584 RODNEY PAUL GUIDROZ - $108,896 RYAN MILLER - $90,997 D. WAYNE MOORE - $82,111 ROBERT K. PARSLEY - $87,446
Schedule J, Part II SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION INFORMATION	W-2 COMPENSATION MAY INCLUDE PAYMENTS RELATED TO COMPENSATION DEFERRED INPRIOR YEARS. DEFERRED COMPENSATION MAY INCLUDE DEFERRALS OF CURRENT YEAR COMPENSATION UNDER EXECUTIVE DEFERRED INCOME ACCOUNT, SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AND RETENTION PLAN AND PENSION RESTORATION PLAN.
Schedule J, Part II, Column (B)(ii) SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION INFORMATION	BONUS AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION MAY INCLUDE AMOUNTS THAT WERE DEFERRED IN A PRIOR YEAR BUT PAID OUT IN CALENDAR YEAR 2021.
Schedule J, Part II, Column (C) DEFERRED COMPENSATION	DEFERRED COMPENSATION INCLUDES EXECUTIVE DEFERRED INCOME ACCOUNT, SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AND RETENTION PLAN, EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION TO 403(B) MATCHED SAVINGS PLAN, PENSION RESTORATION PLAN AND ESTIMATED PENSION BENEFITS UNDER CHRISTUS HEALTH CASH BALANCE PLAN. ESTIMATED PENSION BENEFITS WERE CALCULATED BASED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THE CURRENT CASH BALANCE PLAN AT 6 OF PENSIONABLE EARNINGS. SOME ASSOCIATES ARE GRANDFATHERED UNDER AN EARLIER PENSION PLAN. THESE GRANDFATHERED PARTICIPANTS, BASED ON COMPUTATION AT THE TIME OF THEIR RETIREMENT, WILL RECEIVE THE LARGER OF THE RETIREMENT BENEFIT COMPUTED UNDER THE CASH BALANCE PLAN COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS PENSION PLAN. DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF CALCULATING AN ACCURATE BENEFIT COST FOR GRANDFATHERED PARTICIPANTS, THE FORM 990 REPORTS AS PENSION BENEFITS THEIR ANNUAL ESTIMATED CASH BALANCE PLAN ACCRUAL.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT, REPORTED AS UNPAID COSTS, INCLUDES BOTH CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES. TO THE LIMITS OF ITS RESOURCES, CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN INSTITUTION OF PURELY PUBLIC CHARITY; THUS, THE MOST TANGIBLE EXPRESSION OF CHRISTUS HEALTH'S CHARITABLE PURPOSE IS THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THOSE PERSONS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY. THIS FALLS INTO TWO CATEGORIES: CHARITY CARE AND UNPAID GOVERNMENT INDIGENT CARE. IN KEEPING WITH THE MISSION, VALUES, AND VISION OF CHRISTUS HEALTH, CHRISTUS SOUTHEAST TEXAS HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CHARITY CARE SERVICES IN A MANNER THAT RESPECTS THE DIGNITY OF THE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. CHARITY CARE IS DEFINED AS SERVICES PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT A CHARGE THAT IS LESS THAN THE USUAL CHARGE FOR SUCH SERVICES. THE DETERMINATION AS TO THE AMOUNT TO CHARGE, IF ANY, IS ACCORDING TO A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY AS DETERMINED BY THE ESTABLISHED ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES PLACE THEM AT OR UNDER 300 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (FPL), SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF PAYMENT. UNINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES PLACE THEM BETWEEN 300 AND 400 PERCENT OF FPL ARE CHARGED BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE, AND THOSE ABOVE 400 PERCENT RECEIVE DISCOUNTS BASED ON THE UNINSURED FEE SCHEDULE. NO PATIENT IS REFUSED NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO PAY. CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE STATES OF TEXAS, NEW MEXICO AND LOUISIANA MEDICAID PROGRAMS. THOSE PROGRAMS SEEK TO PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO MEET CERTAIN FINANCIAL AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS. FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE EVALUATION OF BOTH ASSETS AND INCOME.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services	(Expenses $ 1,784,094 including grants of $ 1,051,908)(Revenue $ 0) COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED ROOTED IN OUR MISSION AND TRADITION, THE FOUNDERS AND SPONSORS OF CHRISTUS HEALTH AND THOSE WHO CO-MINISTER WITH THEM SEEK NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS OF DELIVERING QUALITY HEALTH CARE THAT ARE BOTH AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. TODAY, MORE THAN EVER, WE MUST AIM TO IMPROVE THE TOTAL HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT OUR SERVICES WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED MOST, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION AND PREFERENCE GIVEN TO PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT AND BENEFIT THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED. COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED REPRESENT THE UNPAID COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED FOR WHICH A PATIENT IS NOT BILLED, OR FOR WHICH A FEE HAS BEEN ASSESSED THAT RECOVERS ONLY A PORTION OF THE COST OF THE RENDERED SERVICE. THIS CATEGORY INCLUDES INITIATIVES THAT REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED THROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS SEEK JUSTICE FOR THE VULNERABLE AND WORK TO BRING ABOUT CHANGES IN OUR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS. THE PROGRAMS COVER A BROAD SPECTRUM OF SERVICES FROM COMMUNITY CLINICS TO IMMUNIZATIONS FOR CHILDREN AND SENIORS, MEALS ON WHEELS, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, HOME REPAIR PROJECTS AND A VARIETY OF OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES. CHRISTUS HEALTH HAS ESTABLISHED THE CHRISTUS FUND TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO NONPROFIT AGENCIES AND GROUPS WHOSE VISION, MISSION AND GOALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHRISTUS HEALTH'S MISSION, VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT BY WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF PEOPLES' LIVES AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE COST OF THESE GRANTS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES FOR CHRISTUS HEALTH SOUTHEAST TEXAS. SEVERAL CHRISTUS REGIONS PROVIDE INDIGENT FUNDING DONATIONS OR "GRANTS" TO AID THE COUNTIES IN WHICH THEY, OR ANOTHER CHRISTUS REGION, SERVE. SUCH GRANTS MAY BE PAID TO THE COUNTY DIRECTLY OR VIA ANOTHER HOSPITAL OR HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION IN THE AREA. THIS CHARITABLE DONATION HELPS RELIEVE THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE OF HEALTHCARE FOR THE INDIGENT POPULATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES THAT CHRISTUS MAY NOT DIRECTLY SERVE IN ONE OF OUR HOSPITALS. THIS IS A RESULT OF OUR MISSION TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST, ESPECIALLY TO THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services	(Expenses $ 1,481,461 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 0) COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY THE GREATEST SHARE OF THESE EXPENSES IS SPENT EDUCATING HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. HELPING TO PREPARE FUTURE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IS A DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC OF NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE AND CONSTITUTES A SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE THREE FACILITIES (CHRISTUS HOSPITAL - ST. ELIZABETH, CHRISTUS HOSPITAL - ST. MARY AND CHRISTUS JASPER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL) PROVIDE A NUMBER OF SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY -- INCLUDING LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES. CHRISTUS HEALTH ALSO USED CASH DONATIONS AS A VEHICLE TO HELP OUR COMMUNITIES. WE MADE CASH DONATIONS, IN ADDITION TO GRANTS AWARDED THROUGH THE CHRISTUS FUND, TO SUPPORT CAUSES LIKE THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER, PROVISION OF A CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR OUR ELDERLY, HIV/AIDS, AND FOR MANY OTHER EQUALLY WORTHY PURPOSES. DURING FY 2022, CHRISTUS HEALTH ADVOCATED FOR IMPROVING PUBLIC POLICIES, WORKING TO ESTABLISH, AND IN SOME INSTANCES AUGMENT, GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY AND GREATER ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THE CONSTITUENTS WE SERVE.

	COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED ROOTED IN OUR MISSION AND TRADITION, THE FOUNDERS AND SPONSORS OF CHRISTUS HEALTH AND THOSE WHO CO-MINISTER WITH THEM SEEK NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS OF DELIVERING QUALITY HEALTH CARE THAT ARE BOTH AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. TODAY, MORE THAN EVER, WE MUST AIM TO IMPROVE THE TOTAL HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT OUR SERVICES WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED MOST, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION AND PREFERENCE GIVEN TO PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT AND BENEFIT THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED. COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED REPRESENT THE UNPAID COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED FOR WHICH A PATIENT IS NOT BILLED, OR FOR WHICH A FEE HAS BEEN ASSESSED THAT RECOVERS ONLY A PORTION OF THE COST OF THE RENDERED SERVICE. THIS CATEGORY INCLUDES INITIATIVES THAT REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED THROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS SEEK JUSTICE FOR THE VULNERABLE AND WORK TO BRING ABOUT CHANGES IN OUR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS. THE PROGRAMS COVER A BROAD SPECTRUM OF SERVICES FROM COMMUNITY CLINICS TO IMMUNIZATIONS FOR CHILDREN AND SENIORS, MEALS ON WHEELS, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, HOME REPAIR PROJECTS AND A VARIETY OF OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES. CHRISTUS HEALTH HAS ESTABLISHED THE CHRISTUS FUND TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO NONPROFIT AGENCIES AND GROUPS WHOSE VISION, MISSION AND GOALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHRISTUS HEALTH'S MISSION, VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT BY WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF PEOPLES' LIVES AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE COST OF THESE GRANTS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES FOR CHRISTUS HEALTH SOUTHEAST TEXAS. SEVERAL CHRISTUS REGIONS PROVIDE INDIGENT FUNDING DONATIONS OR "GRANTS" TO AID THE COUNTIES IN WHICH THEY, OR ANOTHER CHRISTUS REGION, SERVE. SUCH GRANTS MAY BE PAID TO THE COUNTY DIRECTLY OR VIA ANOTHER HOSPITAL OR HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION IN THE AREA. THIS CHARITABLE DONATION HELPS RELIEVE THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE OF HEALTHCARE FOR THE INDIGENT POPULATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES THAT CHRISTUS MAY NOT DIRECTLY SERVE IN ONE OF OUR HOSPITALS. THIS IS A RESULT OF OUR MISSION TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST, ESPECIALLY TO THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED.

	(Code: ) (Expenses $ 1,481,461 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
	COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY THE GREATEST SHARE OF THESE EXPENSES IS SPENT EDUCATING HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. HELPING TO PREPARE FUTURE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IS A DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC OF NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE AND CONSTITUTES A SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE THREE FACILITIES (CHRISTUS HOSPITAL - ST. ELIZABETH, CHRISTUS HOSPITAL - ST. MARY AND CHRISTUS JASPER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL) PROVIDE A NUMBER OF SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY -- INCLUDING LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES. CHRISTUS HEALTH ALSO USED CASH DONATIONS AS A VEHICLE TO HELP OUR COMMUNITIES. WE MADE CASH DONATIONS, IN ADDITION TO GRANTS AWARDED THROUGH THE CHRISTUS FUND, TO SUPPORT CAUSES LIKE THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER, PROVISION OF A CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR OUR ELDERLY, HIV/AIDS, AND FOR MANY OTHER EQUALLY WORTHY PURPOSES. DURING FY 2022, CHRISTUS HEALTH ADVOCATED FOR IMPROVING PUBLIC POLICIES, WORKING TO ESTABLISH, AND IN SOME INSTANCES AUGMENT, GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY AND GREATER ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THE CONSTITUENTS WE SERVE.
