        <Explanation>The hospital uses a cost-to-charge ratio to calculate cost amounts. This ratio is computed using Blessing Hospital's as-filed Medicare cost report. These costs and charges are adjusted to account for items not reimbursed through the cost report such as provider-based physician services. IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545, which established the community benefit standard for nonprofit hospital's states that if a hospital serves patients with government health benefits, including Medicare, then this is an indication that the hospital operates to promote the health of the community. This implies that treating medicare patients is a community benefit.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The hospital uses a cost-to-charge ratio to calculate cost amounts. This ratio is computed using Blessing Hospital's as-filed Medicare cost report. These costs and charges are adjusted to account for items not reimbursed through the cost report. Bad debt expense is calculated on the net patient account balance after the balance has been reduced for any payments received or discounts/adjustments that are known. Patients qualifying for financial assistance are recognized as charity care accounts when sufficient information is received to determine their eligibility. Prior to this point, an allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated on uninsured accounts. This allowance is reversed if the account is determined to qualify for financial assistance. A number of patients are truly unable to pay for their medical expenditures but do not complete the process required to apply for financial assistance. These patients would qualify for charity care if they completed the paperwork, so the bad debt expense associated with treating them should be treated as community benefit.FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTE:Patient accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Hospital 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 Hospital analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts, if necessary. For receivables associated with self-pay patients, the Hospital 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 and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.The Hospital's self-pay write-offs increased from $17,084,600 for the year ended September 30, 2010 to $20,662,094 for the year ended September 30, 2011. This increase is the result of negative trends experienced in the collection of amounts due from patients. The Hospital has not changed its charity care or uninsured discount policies during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Hospital does not maintain a material allowance for doubtful accounts from third-party payors nor did it have significant bad debt write-offs from third-party payors.</Explanation>
