Title: Basis of presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported in the Schedule are recognized following the cost accounting principles contained in OMB Circular A‐110, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements With Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non‐Profit Organizations, and OASC‐3, A Guide for Hospitals, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited to reimbursement. Assistance Listing Number (ALN) numbers and pass‐through numbers are provided where available. An award is considered expended when the activity related to the award occurs. The activity generally pertains to events requiring compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contract and grant agreements. Direct costs have been recognized on the accrual basis of accounting when costs are incurred. The Health System has elected not to use the 10‐percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Salaries, fringes, and other costs are charged to awards based upon utilization on a direct cost basis. The accompanying Schedule is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the Health System’s other revenue, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Health System.For the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awards related to the Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution (PRF) program, HHS has indicated the amounts on the Schedule be reported corresponding to reporting requirements of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) PRF Reporting Portal. Payments from HHS for PRF are assigned to ‘Payment Received Periods’ (each, a “Period”) based upon the date each payment from the PRF was received. Each Period has a specified Period of Availability and timing of reporting requirements. Entities report into the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal after each Period’s deadline to use the funds (i.e., after the end of the Period of Availability). The Schedule includes $23,923,249 received from HHS between July 2021 through June 2022. In accordance with guidance from HHS, this amount was submitted to the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal for Period 4 and Period 5. The Health System did not have Period 4 or Period 5 funding remaining to recognize for the year ended September 30, 2023. Due to the PRF Reporting requirements, this amount is not the total PRF received and/or recognized as other revenue in the years presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Salaries, fringes, and other costs are charged to awards based upon utilization on a direct cost basis. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards (the “Schedule”) includes the expenditures of The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital and affiliates (dba Cone Health) (the “Health System”) under programs of the federal and state governments for the year ended September 30, 2023. The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with the provisions of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”) and the State Single Audit Implementation Act. Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. This is consistent with the basis of accounting utilized in the preparation of the Heath System’s consolidated financial statements. For purposes of the Schedule, federal and state awards include all grants, contracts, and similar agreements entered into directly between the Health System and agencies and departments of the federal and state governments and all subawards to the Health System by nonfederal organizations pursuant to federal and state grants, contracts, and similar agreements. Assistance Listing Number (ALN) for federal programs and pass‐through Catalog of State Financial Assistance (CSFA) numbers for state programs and pass‐through numbers are provided when available.
