        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE: THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ITS SERVICE AREA, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE (INCLUDING COPAYMENT AND DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS), THE SYSTEM ANALYZED CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, THE SYSTEM 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. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF WHEN ALL REASONABLE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. THESE ADJUSTMENTS ARE ACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS AND ARE ADJUSTED AS NEEDED IN FUTURE PERIODS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE.BAD DEBT IS REPORTED CONSISTENT WITH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.</Explanation>

SHORTFALLS ARISE FROM PAYMENTS THAT ARE LESS THAN WHAT IT COSTS TO PROVIDE THE CARE AND SERVICES. WE ACCEPT ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS KNOWING THE COST OF PROVIDING THE CARE MAY EXCEED THE FUNDS WE RECEIVE FROM MEDICARE FOR THE SERVICE. OUR SHORTFALL IS CONSIDERED TO BE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS IMPLIED IN INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE REVENUE RULING 69-545 THAT TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD FOR TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS, INDICATES THAT PARTICIPATION IN PUBLICLY-FINANCED PROGRAMS, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS EVIDENCE THAT A HOSPITAL MEETS THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD.</Explanation>
