Schedule H, Part I, Line 7, Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO CHARGES FROM WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CHARITY CARE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS TO OUR PATIENTS. CHARITY CARE COSTS: THE TOTAL CHARGES FOR ALL PATIENT ACCOUNTS WITH A CHARITY CARE WRITE OFF DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014 WERE DOWNLOADED. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM WORKSHEET 2 WAS APPLIED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GROSS PATIENT CHARGES WRITTEN OFF PURSUANT TO OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY TO OBTAIN OUR ESTIMATED TOTAL CHARITY CARE COST. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID PROGRAM COSTS: TOTAL GROSS CHARGES FOR ALL MEDICAID PATIENTS WERE DOWNLOADED. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM WORKSHEET 2 WAS APPLIED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GROSS MEDICAID PATIENT CHARGES TO OBTAIN THE ESTIMATED TOTAL MEDICAID COSTS. OTHER BENEFIT COSTS WERE DETERMINED BY ESTIMATING THE TOTAL HOURS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH COMMUNITY SERVICE AND APPLYING AN AVERAGE HOUR RATE TO THE STAFF WORKING THE EVENT. THE TOTAL DIRECT EXPENSES WERE TRACKED FOR EACH SERVICE AND ADDED TO THE LABOR COST.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7, col(f), Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation	34,893,224

THIS PERCENTAGE IS BASED ON EQUIFAX SCORING (PROPRIETARY CREDIT SCORING ALGORITHM) ANALYSIS OF A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT POPULATION (13,600) OF DEBTORS PLACED IN COLLECTION FROM 10/1/2013-9/30/2014. CONSUMERS WITH AN EQUIFAX SCORE OF 301-500 (ON A SCALE OF 301-900) WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY ASSISTANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH BETHESDA HOSPITAL'S POLICY IF THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND ATTESTATIONS WERE SUBMITTED.
