SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X THE MEDICAL CENTER IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION THAT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS TAX-EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE MEDICAL CENTER APPLIES ACCOUNTING POLICIES THAT PRESCRIBE WHEN TO RECOGNIZE AND HOW TO MEASURE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT EFFECTS OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN ON ITS INCOME TAX RETURNS. THESE RULES REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT, UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAXING JURISDICTIONS, THOSE INCOME TAX POSITIONS WOULD BE SUSTAINED. BASED ON THAT EVALUATION, THE MEDICAL CENTER ONLY RECOGNIZES THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT OF EACH INCOME TAX POSITION THAT IS MORE THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING SUSTAINED. TO THE EXTENT THAT ALL OR A PORTION OF THE BENEFITS OF AN INCOME TAX POSITION ARE NOT RECOGNIZED, A LIABILITY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR THE UNRECOGNIZED BENEFITS, ALONG WITH ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WOULD RESULT FROM DISALLOWANCE OF THE POSITION. SHOULD ANY SUCH PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE INCURRED, THEY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS OPERATING EXPENSES. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF MANAGEMENT'S EVALUATION, NO LIABILITY IS RECOGNIZED IN THE ACCOMPANYING BALANCE SHEET FOR UNRECOGNIZED INCOME TAX POSITIONS. FURTHER, NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES HAVE BEEN ACCRUED OR CHARGED TO EXPENSE AS OF JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013 OR FOR THE YEARS THEN ENDED. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE TAX RETURNS ESSENTIALLY REMAIN OPEN FOR POSSIBLE EXAMINATION FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS AFTER THE RESPECTIVE FILING DEADLINES OF THOSE RETURNS.

OTHER COSTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S ACCOUNTING RECORDS WHICH UTILIZES THE CBISA COST ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE. PART II - COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES TANNER PROVIDES THE FUNDING FOR A 24-HOUR INFORMATION HOTLINE, PROVIDED FREE TO CALLERS. THE HOTLINE - 770-214-2273 - PROVIDES CALLERS WITH INFORMATION ON PHYSICIANS AND SPECIALISTS, AND PROVIDES REFERRALS TO MEDICAL STAFF BASED ON A CALLER'S NEEDS, LOCATION AND INSURANCE INFORMATION. THE LINE ALSO PROVIDES CALLERS WITH INFORMATION ON A WIDE RANGE OF FREE HEALTH EDUCATION CLASSES AND HEALTH SCREENINGS PROVIDED BY TANNER, AND ALLOWS CALLERS TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES AND EVENTS OVER THE PHONE.

IN ADDITION, TANNER SUPPORTS THE UNIVERSITY WEST GEORGIA'S NURSING PROGRAM, WEST CENTRAL TECH AND GEORGIA HIGHLAND'S MEDICAL PROGRAMS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. PART III, LINE 2 - BAD DEBT EXPENSE METHODOLOGY AMOUNTS INCLUDED ON PART III LINE 2 REPRESENT THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES CONSIDERED UNCOLLECTIBLE AFTER REASONABLE ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT, AND WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS 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 MEDICAL CENTER 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 MEDICAL CENTER'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR SELF-PAY PATIENTS WAS 97.5% FOR FISCAL YEARS 2014 AND 2013. IN ADDITION, THE MEDICAL CENTER'S SELF-PAY WRITE-OFFS INCREASED APPROXIMATELY 27,000,000 FROM 23,000,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 TO 50,000,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014. THE INCREASE WAS A RESULT OF AN OVERALL INCREASE IN REVENUES FOR FY 2014, WHICH INCLUDED UNINSURED SELF-PAY PATIENTS. THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS NOT CHANGED ITS CHARITY CARE OR UNINSURED DISCOUNT POLICIES DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, THE MEDICAL CENTER INCREASED THEIR PROMPT PAY DISCOUNT FROM 40% TO 60%. THE MEDICAL CENTER DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, NOR DID IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE-OFFS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. PART III, LINE 8 - MEDICARE EXPLANATION MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS ARE COMPUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH COST REPORTING METHODOLOGIES UTILIZED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH RELATED REGULATIONS. INDIRECT COSTS ARE ALLOCATED TO DIRECT SERVICE AREAS USING THE MOST APPROPRIATE STATISTICAL BASIS. PART III, LINE 9B - COLLECTION PRACTICES EXPLANATION PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY FOR A CHARITY WRITE OFF ARE ONLY HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PORTION REMAINING AFTER WRITE OFF. PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY AS INDIGENT RECEIVE A 100% WRITE OFF AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. PATIENTS APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RECEIVE A LETTER OF NOTIFICATION THAT IS GOOD FOR ONE YEAR FROM THE DETERMINATION DATE. INTEREST FREE INSTALLMENT PLANS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL PATIENTS AND PAYMENT AMOUNTS ARE DETERMINED BY THE PATIENT'S DISPOSABLE WAGES AND ABILITY TO PAY. PART VI, LINE 2 - NEEDS ASSESSMENT TANNER MEDICAL CENTER, INC. CONDUCTS A STUDY OF ITS SERVICE AREA TO DETERMINE LOCATIONS WHERE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE IS LIMITED, AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY PROVIDERS BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT TANNER SERVES. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS WITH SIMILARLY-ALIGNED MISSIONS, INCLUDING PARTNERING WITH THE CARROLL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN COMMUNITY-WIDE VACCINATION PROGRAMS AND PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SPONSOR FURTHER RESEARCH INTO SPECIFIC COMMUNITY NEEDS. TANNER ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH TWO LOCAL CLINICS THAT PROVIDE LOW-COST AND FREE MEDICAL SERVICES TO AREA RESIDENTS WHO COULD NOT OTHERWISE AFFORD CARE. PART VI, LINE 3 - PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE TANNER PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY/INDIGENT PROGRAM AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION. ANY SELF-PAY OR UNDER-INSURED PATIENTS MUST MEET CRITERIA FOR INDIGENT CARE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE COST OF THEIR CARE WRITTEN OFF BY THE SYSTEM. PATIENTS ARE INTERVIEWED AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE PREPARED. PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA FOR MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY ARE REFERRED TO AN OUTSIDE VENDOR FOR ASSISTANCE. CHARITY PATIENTS AND INDIGENT PATIENTS ARE DEFINED AS FALLING BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AND RECEIVE A 100 PERCENT WRITE OFF. TRANSLATION ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED FOR PATIENTS AS NEEDED. PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION CARROLL COUNTY IS LOCATED IN THE WEST CENTRAL SECTION OF GEORGIA, ALONG THE GEORGIA-ALABAMA STATE LINE. IT IS HOME TO A GROWING STATE UNIVERSITY WITH AN ENROLLMENT OF MORE THAN 11,000 STUDENTS. THE COUNTY HAS A POPULATION OF JUST MORE THAN 110,000 RESIDENTS. MOST RECENTLY, GROWTH IN THE AREA HAS BEEN HAMPERED BY THE ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM THE LINGERING RECESSION, AND HOUSING PRICES HAVE FALLEN MORE THAN 20 PERCENT.
