What it reported doing in 2024
In fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025), OhioHealth, with its member hospitals and homecare organizations, provided charity care and community benefit programs to a great degree. In total, OhioHealth provided $493.2 million in charity care and community benefit programs and services reaching hundreds of thousands of people in the communities we serve. Of this total, $239.3 million was provided by the hospitals of OhioHealth Corporation (Riverside Methodist Hospital, Grant Medical Center, Doctors Hospital, Dublin Methodist Hospital, Grove City Methodist Hospital, OhioHealth Berger Hospital, Pickerington Methodist Hospital, and OhioHealth Rehabilitation Hospital, LLC, a joint venture owned 51% by OhioHealth Corporation). OhioHealth provides medically necessary services without charge or at amounts less than its established rates to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policies. In assessing a patient's ability to pay, OhioHealth not only utilizes generally recognized poverty income levels of the communities they serve but also includes certain cases where incurred charges are significant when compared to the patient's financial resources. Charity care is determined based on established policies, using patient income and assets to determine payment ability. OhioHealth provides community services intended to benefit the underserved and enhance the health status of the communities it serves. These services include 24-hour-a-day emergency rooms, community health screenings, forums for various support groups, health education classes, speakers and publications, hospice and medical research. OhioHealth has been able to achieve a greater impact in the community by partnering financial and human resources with other organizations. These expenditures include a commitment to the project to reduce infant mortality, pastoral care service, various civic sponsorships, and other community partnership programs. The Corporation's total benefit to the community includes the cost of charity care (net of assistance received from the Hospital Care Assurance Program), unpaid cost of Medicaid, and medical education programs as well as certain programs discussed above.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 96% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- 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. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and some filed totals do not add up.
