Overview
Mission
Advanced urologic associates is a faith-based, not-for-profit urology specialty organization committed to providing advanced, evidence-based urological health care and health services.
What it reported doing in 2023
Advanced urologic services inc ("aua") serves as an extension of a saint luke's health system hospital to operate as a hospital-affiliated urology practice. It is designed to be an innovative, clinically driven program focused on achieving, among other matters, the goals and objects of (i) excellence in the delivery of urology clinical care; (ii) leadership in urology research; (iii) excellence in the recruitment and retention of qualified urology physicians and related allied health providers, and (iv) the promotion of healthcare for a broad cross-section of the hospital's community within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Aua currently provides care in three locations in the greater Kansas city area. Aua's physicians also provide on-call support for affiliated tax-exempt hospitals. Aua has a financial assistance policy that covers patients without adequate means to pay for care. Aua also benefits the community as a provider under medicare and medicaid.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
