How does Finance help in the planning for Community Benefit? Review/explain the financial assistance policy Establish standardized methods and policies Develop average rates for salaries and indirect costs Advise and provide oversight and support (what counts and how to count it) Planning for Community Benefit ©Lyon Software 2013
5
Review/explain the financial assistance policy Community benefit professionals and reporters need to understand the financial assistance policy. Who will be reporting on the program? Finance (if the program is part of the financial assistance program, i.e., charity care) or the community benefit team? Planning for Community Benefit ©Lyon Software 2013
6
Establish standardized methods and policies When policies and procedures are in place, the job of collecting, reporting and tracking community benefit becomes much more efficient. Finance can help set some standardized practices and policies. Planning for Community Benefit ©Lyon Software 2013
7
Develop average rates for salaries and indirect costs CBISA uses average salary rates for departments and up to four (4) group rates plus indirect cost percentages for programs that take place in the hospital (or facility) and those that take place in the community.

8
Advise and provide oversight and support (what counts and how to count it) Community benefit programs or activities provide treatment and/or promote health and healing as a response to identified community needs. Planning for Community Benefit ©Lyon Software 2013
9
For a program to “count”: 1.It must address a documented community need, and 2.It must have at least one of these community benefit objectives: a)Improve access to health care services b)Enhance health of the community c)Advance medical or health care knowledge d)Relieve/reduce the burden of government/other community efforts 9 Source: Catholic Health Association Guide for Planning & Reporting Community Benefit 2012 Edition Planning for Community Benefit
10
A program does not count as community benefit, if: The program is primarily for marketing purposes The program or donation is unrelated to health or the hospital’s mission An objective “prudent layperson” would question whether the program truly benefits the community (the program benefits, or appears to benefit, the organization more than the community) The program represents a community benefit provided by another entity or individual Access to the program is restricted to employees or physicians affiliated with the hospital The activity represents a normal “cost of doing business” or is associated with the current standard of care 10 Planning for Community Benefit Source: Catholic Health Association Guide for Planning & Reporting Community Benefit 2012 Edition

12 Financial Assistance, at cost Medicaid Other Means- Tested Government Programs Categories A-G Subsidized Health Services Planning for Community Benefit ©Lyon Software 2013 Finance specifically provides the numbers (persons served, expenses and offsetting revenue) for Financial Assistance, Medicaid and Other Means-Tested Programs. Also, because those three costs may also be included in Subsidized Health Services (Category C), Finance must remove any double counting entries and determine whether the service is still subsidized.
