2014 FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL REPORT 2014 FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL REPORT www.ascension.org Financial Data (Dollars in Millions) Equivalent Discharges * The cost of providing care to persons living in poverty and other community benefit programs is estimated using each facility’s internal cost data in compliance with guidelines established by both the Catholic Health Association (CHA) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The calculation to estimate the cost of these programs involves multiplying the charges for specific categories of uncompensated care and community benefit programs by the cost-to-charge ratio. This converts the amount the facility would have charged for those services to the expense incurred by the facility in providing the services. These figures do not include Medicare shortfalls.** Income from recurring operations excludes impairment, restructuring and nonrecurring expenses.*** Includes $72 and $402 for 2013 and 2012, respectively, of pension curtailment gains in connection with redesign of associate retirement benefits.
