'''Banner executives and their compensation'''
'''Standards for community benefits and charity contributions'''
There are essentially no federal standards that define the "community benefit" hospitals must provide to earn their nonprofit status. A recent GAO report found nonprofit hospitals provide only slightly more charity care than their for-profit counterparts. [http://www.hfma.org/hfmanews/ct.ashx?id=880109a9-0afb-4143-b97e-79667c5e54c7&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.gao.gov%2fnew.items%2fd08880.pdf] Nonprofit Hospitals are allowed "broad latitude to determine the services and activities that constitute community benefit," according to the GAO. The report further states that "...consensus does not exist to define bad debt (the amount that the patient is expected to, but does not, pay) and the un-reimbursed cost of Medicare (the difference between a hospital’s costs and its payment from Medicare) as community benefit. Variations in the activities nonprofit hospitals defined as a community benefit lead to substantial differences in the amount of community benefits they report". Of the seven states that Banner Health operates in (Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, and Wyoming) only three (California, Colorado and, Wyoming) have community benefit requirement laws related to hospitals. None of the seven states that Banner operates in have penalties for non-compliance.


'''Banners 2007 charity contributions'''
[http://www.wherethemoneygoes.com/printArticle.php?id_art=4208] [http://www.wherethemoneygoes.com/printArticle.php?id_art=4203]
Banner reported annual charity contributions of $64 million in 2007. [http://www.bannerhealth.com/About+Us/_About+Banner+Health.htm ]
Banners total receipts for the same year were over $10,000,000,000.00 (Ten billion dollars)
[http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2007/450/233/2007-450233470-04923416-9.pdf]
For the year 2007 charity contributions amounted to less than 64/10,000 or approximately 0.6% of their receipts.

'''Banner executives and their compensation'''
Historically, nonprofit hospitals have been guided by strongly motivated community leaders that are protective, devoted, and who freely contribute their time, energy, abilities and resources to promote the organizational goals of the hospital along with welfare of the community.

Banner Health is a non profit[2] health system based in Phoenix, Arizona. The health system is one of the largest employers in the state - employing over 27,000 employees. The organization provides emergency care, hospital care, hospice, long-term/home care, outpatient surgery centers, labs, and rehab services.


Controversy

In May of 2005, Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Committee on Finance, wrote to 10 major nonprofit hospitals, asking a series of questions about their care to the poor and service to the community. Banner Health was included in his inquiry. Grassley asked nonprofit hospitals to account for activities related to their tax-exempt Status. The inquiry was a continuation of his effort to review the non-profit sector in advance of legislation he intended to introduce to prevent abuse of the federal tax laws that created nonprofit organizations and encourage charitable donations. [1] [2]

The intended legislation would require nonprofit hospitals to spend a minimum amount on free care for the poor, also known as charity care, and set curbs on executive compensation and conflicts of interest. [3] [4]

In June of 2006 the United States Government Accountability Office responded to, William M. Thomas, Chairman Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives inquiries concerning executive compensation issues at selected private nonprofit hospital systems. [5]

Banner, as a nonprofit, is required to file IRS form 990 each year and include compensation and benefit amounts for their highest paid executives. Part 5 of the Form 990 contains information of considerable interest. [6]

According to a recent IRS survey of 485 hospitals, nonprofit hospital presidents earned nearly $500,000 a year on average in salary and other benefits, and a smaller group more closely reviewed by the IRS had an average salary of $1.4 million. A number of Banner's officers, directors, trustees, and key employees and retirees fall into the latter group. [7] [8]

Tax exempt status As shown on their IRS Form 990 [9] Banner Health maintains a tax-exempt status relieving them of paying many federal, state, county, city and local taxes. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

Standards for community benefits and charity contributions There are essentially no federal standards that define the "community benefit" hospitals must provide to earn their nonprofit status. A recent GAO report found nonprofit hospitals provide only slightly more charity care than their for-profit counterparts. [17] Nonprofit Hospitals are allowed "broad latitude to determine the services and activities that constitute community benefit," according to the GAO. The report further states that "...consensus does not exist to define bad debt (the amount that the patient is expected to, but does not, pay) and the un-reimbursed cost of Medicare (the difference between a hospital’s costs and its payment from Medicare) as community benefit. Variations in the activities nonprofit hospitals defined as a community benefit lead to substantial differences in the amount of community benefits they report". Of the seven states that Banner Health operates in (Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, and Wyoming) only three (California, Colorado and, Wyoming) have community benefit requirement laws related to hospitals. None of the seven states that Banner operates in have penalties for non-compliance.

Banners 2007 charity contributions [18] [19] Banner reported annual charity contributions of $64 million in 2007. [20] Banners total receipts for the same year were over $10,000,000,000.00 (Ten billion dollars) [21] For the year 2007 charity contributions amounted to less than 64/10,000 or approximately 0.6% of their receipts.
