        <ExplanationTxt>THE HOSPITAL AND FOUNDATION ARE NOT-FOR-PROFIT 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. THE HOSPITAL AND FOUNDATION EACH FILE A FORM 990 (RETURN OF ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX) ANNUALLY. WHEN THIS RETURN IS FILED, IT IS HIGHLY CERTAIN THAT SOME POSITIONS TAKEN WOULD BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES, WHILE OTHERS ARE SUBJECT TO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE MERITS OF THE TAX POSITION TAKEN OR THE AMOUNT OF THE POSITION THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY BE SUSTAINED. EXAMPLES OF TAX POSITIONS COMMON TO HOSPITALS AND FOUNDATIONS INCLUDE SUCH MATTERS AS THE FOLLOWING: THE TAX EXEMPT STATUS OF THE ENTITY, THE CONTINUED TAX EXEMPT STATUS OF BONDS ISSUED BY THE OBLIGATED GROUP, THE NATURE, THE CHARACTERIZATION AND TAXABILITY OF JOINT VENTURE INCOME AND VARIOUS POSITIONS RELATIVE TO POTENTIAL SOURCES OF UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME (UBI). UBI IS REPORTED ON FORM 990T, AS APPROPRIATE. THE BENEFIT OF A TAX POSITION IS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN THE PERIOD DURING WHICH, BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE EVIDENCE, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION, INCLUDING THE RESOLUTION OF APPEALS OR LITIGATION PROCESSES, IF ANY. TAX POSITIONS ARE NOT OFFSET OR AGGREGATED WITH OTHER POSITIONS. TAX POSITIONS THAT MEET THE "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" RECOGNITION THRESHOLD ARE MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF TAX BENEFIT THAT IS MORE THAN 50% LIKELY TO BE REALIZED ON SETTLEMENT WITH THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY. THE PORTION OF THE BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH TAX POSITIONS TAKEN THAT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT MEASURED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE IS REFLECTED AS A LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX BENEFITS IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ALONG WITH ANY ASSOCIATED INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WOULD BE PAYABLE TO THE TAXING AUTHORITIES UPON EXAMINATION. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014, THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX BENEFITS IDENTIFIED AND RECORDED AS A LIABILITY. FORMS 990 AND 990T FILED BY THE HOSPITAL AND FOUNDATION ARE GENERALLY SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) UP TO THREE YEARS FROM THE EXTENDED DUE DATE OF EACH RETURN.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE ORGANIZATION 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 ORGANIZATION 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 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 AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE COSTING METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT ON LINE 2 IS THE ACTUAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE MULTIPLIED BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR THE OVERALL HOSPITAL. THE MAJORITY OF THE BAD DEBT COMES FROM PATIENTS WHO HAVE VISITED THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND HAVE BEEN TREATED REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY BASED ON EMTALA GUIDELINES.</ExplanationTxt>
