Other relevant information to the hospital's community benefit plan not otherwise captured:
*The summary table does not include Scripps Green Medicare because the FFY24 IPPS payment changes temporarily increased Medicare reimbursement for certain hospitals. This, along with Scripps Green’s higher-acuity case mix, resulted in a one-time surplus in Fiscal Year (FY) 24. In Fiscal Year (FY) 25, Scripps Green again showed a small Medicare surplus of $84,467, but this represents only about 1.4% of the prior year’s surplus, indicating the Fiscal Year (FY) 24 result was largely driven by the temporary IPPS reclassification impact and did not continue in Fiscal Year (FY) 25.
