      <Description>MILLE LACS HEALTH SYSTEM (MLHS) IS A RURAL HEALTH SYSTEM LOCATED IN ONAMIA, MN, 80 MILES NORTH OF THE TWIN CITIES NEAR LAKE MILLE LACS. OUR SYSTEM INCLUDES A 25-BED ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL, A 57-BED LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY, A 10-BED SENIOR CARE FACILITY, HOME CARE, HOSPICE, A BLS AND ALS AMBULANCE SERVICE, AS WELL AS AN ATTACHED MEDICAL CLINIC. MLHS ALSO OPERATES MEDICAL CLINICS IN THE TOWNS OF ISLE, HILLMAN, GARRISON AND MILACA. OUR MEDICAL STAFF ALSO PROVIDES COVERAGE TO THE NE-IA-SHING CLINIC ON THE NEARBY MILLE LACS RESERVATION. THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS ORGANIZED AS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT CORPORATION. DUE TO THE LACK OF AVAILABLE HEALTHCARE OPTIONS IN THIS CENTRAL MINNESOTA REGION, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS DESIGNATED THIS COMMUNITY AS A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA IN TERMS OF PRIMARY CARE CLINICS. THE REMOTENESS OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE MILLE LACS COMMUNITIES IN THE 1950'S PROMPTED AN AREA-WIDE COMMUNITY EFFORT TO BUILD A HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL WAS COMPLETED IN 1956 AND, FIVE YEARS LATER A NURSING HOME WAS BUILT ADJACENT TO IT. OVER THE YEARS, THE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN EXPANDED AND MODERNIZED AND RENAMED SEVERAL TIMES. IN 1995, AN AMBITIOUS BUILDING PROJECT AND INTEGRATION EFFORT, WHICH INCLUDED A NEW HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM, REHABILITATION CENTER, AND CLINIC SPACE WERE COMPLETED. THIS BUILDING PROJECT WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH NEARLY A HALF MILLION DOLLARS WHICH WERE RAISED LOCALLY. IN 2001, A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT WAS STARTED TO FURTHER UPGRADE THE HOSPITAL AND LONG-TERM CARE SERVICES AND POSITION US TO MEET THE GROWING HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE AREA.MILLE LACS HEALTH SYSTEM SERVES A PERMANENT POPULATION OF BETWEEN 12,000 AND 15,000, INCLUDING RESIDENTS OF THE MILLE LACS RESERVATION. BECAUSE OF THE RECREATIONAL FEATURES OF THE MILLE LACS AREA, MLHS ALSO SERVES A NUMBER OF SEASONAL RESIDENTS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT DURING THE BUSY SUMMER AND HOLIDAY WEEKENDS THERE ARE UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 25,000 PEOPLE IN THE AREA. THIS NUMBER IS BASED ON STATISTICS FROM LOCAL RESORTS, MOTELS, AND CAMPGROUNDS. THE CLOSEST ACUTE CARE FACILITY IS 28 MILES AWAY IN PRINCETON. THE CLOSEST TERTIARY CARE FACILITY IS 55 MILES AWAY IN ST. CLOUD. THE CLOSEST SECONDARY LEVEL IS 50 MILES AWAY IN BRAINERD. MLHS IS THE ONLY PROVIDER OF ACUTE CARE WITHIN OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA OF ONAMIA, HILLMAN, ISLE, GARRISON AND WAHKON, WHICH INCLUDES THE MILLE LACS RESERVATION. MILLE LACS HEALTH SYSTEM ALSO SERVES PATIENTS OUTSIDE THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES MORA, BOCK, MILACA, AND OGILVIE.</Description>

        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 3C: THE FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES PROVIDE THE INITIAL FRAMEWORK TO DETERMINE THE INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO PAY. INDIVIDUALS WITH INCOME AND ASSETS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN THE FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES, WITH NO OTHER AVAILABLE ASSETS MUST BE EVALUATED TO SEE IF THE PATIENT FIRST QUALIFIES FOR ASSISTANCE FROM ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL COUNTY PROGRAMS SUCH AS MA. A REASONABLE PAYMENT SCHEDULE OVER A ONE OR TWO YEAR PERIOD WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE INTERVIEW PROCESS. THE PORTION THAT WILL BE WRITTEN OFF SHOULD THEN BE CLASSIFED AS A CHARITY DISCOUNT. INDIVIDUALS WITHIN TWO (2) TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES MAY ALSO HAVE SOME MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE. THE PATIENT DEDUCTABLE AND NONCOVERED SERVICES MAY BE LARGE ENOUGH THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IN INCAPABLE OF PAYING OFF WITHIN A 1-2 YEAR PERIOD. THEREFORE, THIS UNPAYABLE AMOUNT BY THE PATIENT MAY BE CLASSIFED AS CHARITY DISCOUNT.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 7: THE COSTS INCLUDED IN PART 1, LINES 7A AND 7B WERE DERIVED BY USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED USING WORKSHEET 2 AND THEN APPLIED AGAINST INTERNALLY DEVELOPED NUMBERS. THE COSTS INCLUDED IN PART 1, LINES 7E, 7F AND 7I WERE ACTUAL COSTS TRACKED BY THE HEALTH SYSTEM IN THEIR FINANCIAL PROCESS.</Explanation>

      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO REPORT BAD DEBT FIGURES. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEUDLE H, WORKSHEET 2. AMOUNTS ON LINE 3 WERE CALCULATED MANUALLY BY REVIEWING ALL BAD DEBT CHARGES FOR PATIENTS THAT HAD ANY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR PMAP/MNCARE COVERAGE AND GUARANTOR NOTES REGARDING CHARITY CARE. MOST OF THE VISITS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL WERE FOR PATIENTS THAT MAY HAVE QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY CARE, BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO APPLY OR COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. MLHS DOES OFFER ASSISTANCE IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CHARITY CARE FORMS.SEE THE "PATIENT AND RESIDENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE" PARAGRAPHS ON PAGES 8 AND 9 IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BAD DEBT EXPENSE CALCULATION.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 8: NO SHORTFALL WAS CALCULATED ON PART III, LINE 7, INSTEAD THERE WAS A SURPLUS OF $222,056. THIS IS REASONABLE BECAUSE MLHS IS A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL WHICH MEDICARE REIMBURSES AT 101% OF COST. THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS INCLUDED ON PART III, LINE 6 WAS DERIVED USING THE 2013 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT.</Explanation>
