        <ExplanationTxt>Avera Health and most of its sponsored organizations are considered nonprofit corporations as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. These organizations are required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Avera Health and certain sponsored organizations also file an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) with the IRS to report their unrelated business taxable income. Avera Health and its sponsored organizations believe that they have appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The Organization would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred. The federal Form 990T filings and taxable subisidiary returns for consolidated subsidiaries are no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Part III, Lines 5, 6, and 7: The Medicare revenues received (line 5), allowable costs (line 6), and the resulting shortfall (line 7) does not include a significant portion of the organization's expenses. These lines require use of the Medicare Cost Report as prepared by the required guidelines which disallows numerous costs of hospitals, particularly if they are part of an integrated system such as Sacred Heart Health Services. In these cases the entity must file a home office cost report which "steps down" overhead to non-cost report entities disproportionately to actual allowable share and essentially removing the costs from the hospital's cost report entirely. Examples of non-cost report entities operated by Sacred Heart Health Services include clinics, long-term care facilities, and other health care related businesses. There are also costs completely disallowed by cost report rules such as bad debt expense, marketing, CRNA's, and interest expense. In addition to these disallowed costs within the Hospital, Sacred Heart Health Services operates clinics, long-term care facilities, and other health care related businesses which do not file a cost report.Medicare allowable costs of care are based on the Medicare cost report. The Medicare Cost Report is completed based on the rules and regulations set forth by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Sacred Heart Health Services follows the CHA guidelines in reporting community benefits and therefore any Medicare shortfall is excluded from our community benefit report. However, Medicare is the organization's largest payer and patients with Medicare coverage are accepted regardless of whether or not a surplus or deficit is realized from providing the services. This basis therefore means providing Medicare services promotes access to healthcare services which is a key advantage for our community.</ExplanationTxt>
