2. Five hospitals in Pennsylvania of a similar size, for fiscal year 2022

Chosen for having bed counts close to this hospital’s, and listed by name. Not the state’s largest hospitals: a comparison only means something between hospitals of roughly the same size, and only across the same fiscal year. Each figure is that hospital’s own filing; the day each fiscal year ends differs and is shown.

3. Where this hospital sits

A position, not a score: the hospitals are counted, not ranked. Each line names the hospitals the position was taken over.

4. Executive compensation and community benefit

Not in this report. Executive pay is filed on IRS Form 990 Part VII and community benefit on its Schedule H, under an employer identification number. Neither the 340B register nor the Medicare cost report carries that number, so nothing on either document identifies the same organization.

Every cost report on file

One row per filing, oldest first until you say otherwise. Every column orders both ways. Reporting periods differ between filings and the length of each is shown, because revenue over three months set beside revenue over twelve is a wrong number that looks right.

How to read this report

Every figure above is printed as its source document printed it, with the exact place it came from beside it: the worksheet, line and column of the Medicare cost report this hospital filed under CMS certification number 390314. A reader holding the same public file can go to that cell.

Where this hospital is on the 340B covered-entity register, the registration facts come from the HRSA 340B OPAIS Covered Entity Daily Report. The two documents name the same hospital because they carry the same certification number, not because their names resemble each other.

A figure the hospital’s filing does not carry is left out. A figure whose value the filing’s own arithmetic contradicts is also left out. A year filed as submitted whose figures differ from the prior filing by more than the factor stated on the methodology page is marked beside the figure and left out of the distributions and the peer table until a settled version posts. Nothing here is estimated and nothing is carried in from another year.

No percentage or ratio is calculated anywhere in this report. Charity care and revenue sit in adjacent rows and the reader draws the relation.

Financial figures: CMS Healthcare Cost Report Information System, publication year 2021, file HOSP10FY2021.ZIP. Corrections: hello@velarionrecords.com. Velarion Records takes no position on the 340B Drug Pricing Program or anyone taking part in it.

Everything above, in a document you can hand to a board or attach to a memo — each figure printed with the worksheet, line and column of the form it was read from, so the first question in the room is already answered.
