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.

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.

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.

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, key employees and retirees fall into the latter group.

'''Standards for Community Benefits and Charity Contributions'''
[[de:18]]
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, 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. Between January 1, 2000 and May 31, 2005 Banner filed tens of thousands of law suits against uninsured patients for amounts as little as three dollars. ($3.00)

==Financial Litigation==
In recent years Banner has experienced increased and highly publicized scrutiny by state attorney generals regarding the sales of facilities, use of assets and other health care transactions. These activities have resulted in court actions. During the midst of a national health care crisis Banner announced that it was selling 27 hospitals and facilities in states that it has operations in. Banner claimed it had a right to millions of dollars in charitable assets from the sale of those facilities even though they had not paid for them originally. Furthermore, they intended to remove those funds from the states. The attorney's generals in New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota challenged Banner's ability to remove the proceeds of the sales from their states, asserting that the funds were held in charitable trust. In late 2003 and early 2004, settlements in favor of the states were reached with the attorney general's of North and South Dakota. http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2004/June/04_civ_448.htm] [http://www.state.sd.us/attorney/applications/documents/oneDocument.asp?DocumentID=312] Under the terms of the North Dakota settlement, Banner agreed to pay $1,000,000.00 to the North Dakota attorney general's office for distribution to the community. The successful South Dakota settlement required that Banner pay $1,800,000.00 into a community fund. Developments in nonprofit corporation law and court decisions also suggest that charitable trusts may no longer be applicable to nonprofit corporations.

<br />
In order to settle allegations that the company submitted false claims to Medicare to obtain reimbursement for home health care visits by employees at its Wyoming facilities, Banner paid a settlement of $6,000,000.00. The government alleged that Banner Health, formerly known as Lutheran Health Systems, filed claims that were either not reasonable or necessary, or for which the amount, frequency and duration of services were not reasonable and necessary. The settlement is one of the largest recoveries by the United States in Wyoming.

'''Negligence'''<br />
Alaska Supreme Court - Banner Health System was found negligent in handling a drug abuse patient. The case involved Laurence Kompkoff's attack on Diana Bryson with a gun and an attempt to rape her. Diana maintained Banner Health should have protected patients from potentially violent individuals. Banner maintained that it would have been in violation of federal confidentiality regulations if they had told her about Kompkoff's history. Banner lost the case in Superior court and appealed to the Alaska Supreme Court. The Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision and Banner lost again. (Bryson v. Banner Health System, Alaska Supreme Court, No. S-10653/10673)
