        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE:ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR PATIENTS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES ARE BASED ON GROSS CHARGES. AN ALLOWANCE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND INTERIM PAYMENT ADVANCES IS BASED ON EXPECTED PAYMENT RATES FROM PAYORS BASED ON CURRENT REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGIES. THIS AMOUNT ALSO INCLUDES AMOUNTS RECEIVED AS INTERIM PAYMENTS AGAINST UNPAID CLAIMS BY CERTAIN PAYORS. 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 EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), 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 (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE.THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $145,054. THE HOSPITAL'S BEST ESTIMATE, 8.50 PERCENT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, WAS BASED UPON REVIEW OF EXTERNAL LITERATURE.THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 2, IS THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX.</Explanation>

COLLECTION AGENCY WORKS ALL BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS. NON-EMERGENT CARE BAD DEBT PATIENTS OWING MORE THAN $100 WILL NOT BE SCHEDULED FOR ADDITIONAL MEDICAL CARE UNTIL THEY MEET WITH THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR AND MAKE FULL PAYMENT OR SET UP PAYMENT PLAN. THESE NON-EMERGENT CARE PATIENTS MAY ALSO APPLY TO SEE IF THEY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR FUTURE VISITS.

        <Explanation>OCCASIONALLY, AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT IS RETAINED TO RESEARCH THE MARKET DATA AND PERFORM COMPARISONS FOR THE CEO AND OTHER OFFICER POSITIONS. THE RESULTS OF THE COMPARISON AND MARKET DATA ARE PRESENTED TO THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THIS WAS LAST PERFORMED IN 2011. IF NO OUTSIDE CONSULTANT IS RETAINED, MARKET SURVEYS ARE UTILIZED TO DETERMINE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CEO'S AND THE OTHER OFFICERS COMPENSATION. IN EITHER CASE, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS VOTE ON THE CEO'S COMPENSATION AMOUNT AND IF APPROVED, IT IS FORMALLY PUT INTO A WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT AND DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE OTHER OFFICERS COMPENSATION STRUCTURE AND SALARY RANGES ARE APPROVED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE VERSUS SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNTS. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN IN MARCH 2012 BASED ON 2011 DATA.</Explanation>
