The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes all federal grants
to WellSpan Health that had expenditure activity during fiscal year 2023. The Schedule has been prepared
in accordance with the requirements of the Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the Uniform
Guidance), and on the accrual basis of accounting. In accordance with applicable requirements, certain
programs may be presented in a fiscal period based on the program-specific guidance (see Notes 2 and 3).
Therefore, some amounts presented in the Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the
preparation of, the consolidated financial statements of WellSpan Health. For purposes of the Schedule,
federal awards include any assistance provided by a federal agency either directly or indirectly in the form
of grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, direct appropriations, loan and loan guarantees, and other
noncash assistance.
Direct and indirect costs are charged to awards in accordance with cost principles contained in the United
States Department of Health and Human Services Cost Principles for Hospitals at 45 CFR Part 75
Appendix IX for awards subject to the Uniform Guidance. Under these cost principles, certain types of
expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The Uniform Guidance provides for a
10% de minimis indirect cost rate election. WellSpan Health has elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect
cost rate as covered in Uniform Guidance section 2 CFR 200.414 Indirect (F&A) costs.
