        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 3C: TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE, AVERA ST. ANTHONY'S HOSPITAL HAS DEVELOPED A TEST WHICH UTILIZES A COMBINATION OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME, HOUSEHOLD ASSETS, AND ALSO CONSIDERS UNPAID PAST AND ONGOING MEDICAL EXPENSES. CHARITY DISCOUNT MAY RANGE FROM 10 - 100% DEPENDING ON SCORE.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 6A: WE HAVE A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT SPECIFIC TO OUR HOSPITAL AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE OR ON REQUEST AS WELL AS CONTAINED IN A REPORT PREPARED BY AVERA HEALTH, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. IT IS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND REQUESTED MAILING, AND IS FILED WITH THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 7: CHARITY CARE WAS CONVERTED TO COST BASED ON AN OVERALL COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO ADDRESSING ALL PATIENT SEGMENTS. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES WERE CONVERTED TO COST USING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2. OTHER BENEFITS ARE ACTUAL EXPENSES RECORDED IN THE GENERAL LEDGER.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART I, L7 COL(F): THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE REMOVED FROM THE DENOMINATOR OF THE CALCULATION WAS $562,984.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART II: LIFELINE IS A SECURE PERSONAL MEDICAL ALERT EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE FOR THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED. THIS SERVICE ASSISTS THESE INDIVIDUALS TO LIVE WITH GREATER INDEPENDENCE BY LIVING ALONE BUT STILL HAVING ACCESS TO MEDICAL HELP. VAN TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE. WITH NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN OUR AREA THE VAN TRANSPORTATION HELPS BUS CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND TAKES THE ELDERLY SHOPPING AND TO HEALTH CARE APPOINTMENTS. THE VAN EVEN OFFERS TRANSPORTATION TO LARGER CITIES ABOUT 200 MILES AWAY WITH ADVANCE NOTICE FOR SPECIALTY MEDICAL SERVICES.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED AT CHARGES AS RECORDED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION DID NOT ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY AS THE ORGANIZATION WORKS HARD AT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO APPLY AND MAKES ADJUSTMENTS TO BAD DEBT EXPENSE BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COLLECTION AGENCY OR REVIEWS BAD DEBT FOR THOSE WHO QUALIFY UNDER CHARITY CARE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED NET OF DISCOUNTS AND CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES. A PAYMENT ON AN ACCOUNT PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN OFF REDUCES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR.THE FOOTNOTE TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE 5 OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 8: 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 CMS. ST. ANTHONY'S 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.</Explanation>
