      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>

        <Explanation>PART II: WHILE THERE IS GROWING AGREEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES A NON-PROFITS HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND CHARITY CARE, THESE EFFORTS CONTINUE TO BE A WORK IN PROGRESS. ASPIRUS KEWEENAW HOSPITAL, INC., IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT CHARITY CARE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AS DEFINED BY THE IRS, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT IT PROVIDES A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BENEFIT WHICH IS NOT QUANTIFIED. ASPIRUS KEWEENAW HOSPITAL, LIKE MOST COMMUNITY HOSPITALS, WAS CREATED AND IS MAINTAINED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE CARE LOCALLY WHICH WITHOUT THE HOSPITAL WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE LOCALLY. IN ADDITION TO INPATIENT HOSPITALIZATIONS, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES LOCAL ACCESS TO MANY SERVICES INCLUDING: EMERGENCY SERVICES, RESPIRATORY THERAPY, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, PHYSICAL THERAPY, FAMILY PRACTICE CLINICS, AND LABORATORY AND PATHOLOGY SERVICES.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATION ANALYZES PAST RESULTS AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND THE 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. SPECIFICALLY, FOR RECEIVABLES RELATING TO SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS HAVING 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 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 HOSPITAL ESTIMATES THE APPROXIMATELY 35% OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE DURING FY2012 WAS ATTRIBUTED TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY THAT DID NOT COMPLETE THE APPLICATION PROCESS.THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THIS SHOULD BE CHARITY CARE BECAUSE IF THE PROPER APPLICATION WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, THIS AMOUNT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATELY RECORDED.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 8: ALLOWABLE MEDICARE COSTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. AS SUCH THEY ONLY INCLUDE THE AMOUNTS ALLOWED IN THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS. THEREFORE, THEY ONLY INCLUDE A PORTION OF THE GROSS MEDICARE REVENUE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND DO NOT CONSIDER ALL OF THE CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR SERVICES REIMBURSED BY THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THE MEDICARE REVENUES AMOUNTS LISTED DO NOT INCLUDE PHYSICIAN SERVICES FOR THE COVERAGE OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS ANESTHESIA PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, REVENUES FOR ANY PATIENTS COVERED UNDER MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN PROGRAMS, PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES PROVIDED TO NURSING HOME RESIDENTS, AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF LAB SERVICES PROVIDED TO AREA CLINIC PATIENTS.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 9B: UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTION AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES, ASPIRUS KEWEENAW HOSPITAL MAKES EVERY ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS. INCLUDED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IT IS NOTED THAT PATIENTS MAY QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE EITHER PRIOR TO ADMISSION OR FOLLOWING DISCHARGE.ASPIRUS KEWEENAW HOSPITAL WILL PROVIDE MEDICALLY ACUTE SERVICES TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA OF THE PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ESTABLISHED RATES FOR QUALIFYING PATIENTS. THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED, AND/OR MEDICALLY INDIGENT. PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP THE HOSPITAL QUALIFY THEM FOR THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OR TYPE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE GIVEN THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES.DURING THE PATIENT ACCOUNT COLLECTION PROCESS, SELF-PAY PATIENTS ARE ALSO INFORMED OF THE HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION POLICIES AS WELL AS THE CARITY CARE PROGRAM TO ALLOW PATIENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE FORMS AND QUALIFY UNDER THE PROGRAM.AN ACCOUNT WILL BE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT IF ADEQUATE AND TIMELY PAYMENTS ARE NOT MADE AND/OR THERE IS A LACK OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE PATIENT/FAMILY:1.) 60 DAYS AFTER BALANCE BECOMES THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR. 2.) IF A PATIENT/GUARANTOR REFUSES TO PAY AN ACCOUNT WITHOUT VALID REASON. 3.) STATEMENTS ARE MAIL-RETURNED AND THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR CANNOT BE LOCATED. 4.) A PATIENT/GUARANTOR ACCOUNT HISTORY SHOWS THE DEBT IS UNLIKELY TO BE PAID. 5.) ACCOUNT PAYMENTS ARE INADEQUATE FOR THE BALANCE AND AGE OF ACCOUNT. 6.)
