MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. SPECIFICALLY, FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS AND PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A SEPARATE FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>VERNON MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE, INC. IS DESIGNATED AS A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL AND AS SUCH A PORTION OF ITS REVENUES ARE PAID UNDER A COST REIMBURSEMENT SYSTEM. BASED ON THE INSTRUCTIONS, THE TOTAL MEDICARE REVENUE SHOWN ON THIS FORM 990 INCLUDES ONLY A PORTION OF THE GROSS MEDICARE REVENUE THAT IS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE HOSPITAL FROM THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THE AMOUNTS LISTED FOR MEDICARE DO NOT INCLUDE PHYSICIAN AND MID-LEVEL PRACTITIONER SERVICES FOR THE COVERAGE OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. PHYSICIAN COVERAGE IS REIMBURSED PRIMARILY ON A FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY AT RATES THAT ARE OFTEN BELOW THE COSTS OF CARING FOR PATIENTS. EMERGENCY SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE PATIENTS ARE VITAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY AND AS SUCH THESE COSTS AND SHORTFALLS SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT THAT VERNON MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE, INC. PROVIDES TO THE COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREA. THE COSTING METHOD USED ABOVE FOR IRS FORM 990 COMPLIANCE REPORTING IS ALSO BASED ON AN OVERALL AVERAGE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO AND DOES NOT CONSIDER MEDICARE NON-ALLOWABLE EXPENSES AS IT IS BASED ON TOTAL HOSPITAL PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES (IGNORING CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS ON FEE SCHEDULE REIMBURSED ITEMS AND NON-ALLOWABLE MEDICARE EXPENSES AS NOTED ABOVE) DIVIDED BY TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THIS RATIO IS THEN MULTIPLIED BY THE TOTAL MEDICARE SERVICES WHICH ARE REIMBURSED ON A COST METHODOLOGY EXCLUDING THE FEE SCHEDULE ITEMS LIKE PHYSICIAN AND MID-LEVEL PRACTITIONER SERVICES WHICH THE HOSPITAL WOULD SHOW A LARGE LOSS ON THESE SERVICES.WHETHER THERE IS A SHORTFALL OR SURPLUS FROM SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, THE RECIPIENTS ARE TYPICALLY ELDERLY AND/OR DISABLED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND ARE AN UNDERSERVED POPULATION WHO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES.
