        <Explanation>Part I, L7 Col(f): In connection with the Presumptive Eligibility consideration of the Affordable Care Act, The Outer Banks Hospital does not reflect any bad debt in connection with FAP-eligible patients.

        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: The financial statements of The Outer Banks Hospital are presented on a consolidated basis as part of the consolidated financial statements of Vidant Health; the text of the footnote from page 20 is presented below:Patient Accounts ReceivablePatient Accounts Receivable are reported net of estimated allowances for contractual adjustments and allowances for bad debts.

      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 8: The shortfall of Medicare revenue to Medicare was calculated according to the cost to charge ratio. Allowable costs of care should be considered community benefit because in the area served by TOBH, there are no other providers available to provide the required services. Therefore, the care would become a government obligation and is treated as a community benefit provided by TOBH.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 9b: Recommended patient accounts will continue to go through the accounts receivable billing cycle as normal. When the account reaches the customer service/collections manager, financial counseling supervisor or patient accounts supervisor, based on the information given, a decision will be made whether to proceed with collection or refer the account for approval of charity care. The process will occur as follows: I. Financial counselors will try to locate third party payors. If not eligible for any third party coverage (including charities), they may, based upon the financial information received, recommend the patient for charity care. II. Patient counselors will review for any third party payors and verify employment and assets. A charity care application will need to be completed along with tax return, pay stubs, social security award letter and other financial information as may be required. III. The patient accounts supervisor, financial counseling supervisor or customer service/collections manager, based upon account balance and the information given, will make a decision whether to proceed with collection or refer the patient account for approval for charity care.Presumptive eligibility for charity care - there are occasions in which a patient may appear eligible for a charity care discount, but there is no financial assistance information available to support financial aid. A. Some patients are presumed to be eligible for charity care discounts on the basis of individual life circumstances (e.g., homelessness, patients with no income, bankruptcy, deceased patients with no estate or spouse, etc). B. Through the assistance of a third party vendor and certain algorithms, in conjuction with our charity policy guidelines, all accounts, prior to outside collection agency referral, will be tested for presumptive charity. C. The accounts deemed charity will be adjusted and the remaining accounts will be referred to an outside collection agency. D. Once the agency has had the accounts for six months and has deemed them uncollectible, the accounts with balances of $1,200 or greater will remain with the agency and be kept on the patient's credit file. E. The accounts returned to the hospital will be placed in a unique financial class and will not be pursued for collections.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part V, Section B, Line 3: The CHNA document is the culmination of a partnership between the Dare County Department of Public Health (DCDPH) and The Outer Banks Hospital (TOBH). In communities where there is an active Healthy Carolinians coalition, the CHNA partnership also usually includes that entity. Healthy Carolinians is "a network of public-private partnerships across North Carolina that shares the common goal of helping all North Carolinians to be healthy." The members of local coalitions are representatives of the agencies and organizations that serve the health and human service needs of the local population, as well as representatives from businesses, communities of faith, schools and civic groups. In Dare County, the local Healthy Carolinians coalition is Healthy Carolinians of the Outer Banks (HCOB). The community health assessment, which is both a process and a document, investigates and describes the current health status of the community, what has changed since the last assessment, and what still needs to change to improve the health of the community. The process involves the collection and analysis of a large range of data, including demographic, socioeconomic and health statistics, environmental data, and professional and public opinion. The document is a summary of all the available evidence and serves as a resource until the next assessment. The completed CHNA serves as the basis for prioritizing the community's health needs, and culminates in planning to meet those needs.</Explanation>
