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?

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.

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.

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

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 efforts9Source: Catholic Health Association Guide for Planning & Reporting Community Benefit 2012 Edition
Planning for Community Benefit
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 care10

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.

Financial Defaults: Salary Defaults/Dept. Rates
20©Lyon Software 2013
Update the average rate for each department
Hint: You may highlight multiple departments at one time (use the “control key” or “shift key”) and update the rate information for each department that has the same average rate. Finance users may only update rates.
Financial Defaults: Salary Defaults/Dept. Rates
21
Hint: At the beginning of a new fiscal year, you may choose to “bring forward” the average salary rates from the previous year. You may bring forward one, more than one, or all rates by using the multi-select option (control key or shift key).
©Lyon Software 2013
Financial Defaults: Fringe Percent
22
CBISA will let you know how many records were updated.
Hint: If you enter occurrences into a fiscal year BEFORE you set the Fringe percent default, you will want to use this tool to update those records. Occurrences entered AFTER the default is set will automatically use the correct Fringe percent entered on the Reporting Unit Financial page.
Enter the appropriate date range, the new Fringe percent, then apply.
