        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE ADOPTED ASU 2011-7 FOR HEALTH CARE ENTITIES: PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF NET REVENUE, PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. UNDER THE NEW GUIDANCE, BAD DEBTS RELATING TO PATIENT SERVICES REVENUE WILL BE SEPERATELY DISCLOSED IN THE STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND REPORTED AS A COMPONENT OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. BAD DEBTS ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVITIES OTHER THAN PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE WILL CONTINUE TO BE REPORTED AS AN OPERATING EXPENSE.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY 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. 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 DEBTS, IF NECESSARY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS A 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.COSTING METHODOLOGY - BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST WAS CALCULATED USING TOTAL BAD DEBT FROM THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MULTIPLIED BY THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES, WHICH WAS DERIVED USING WORKSHEET 2 IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE H.</Explanation>

IN ADDITION, FEE BASED SERVICES INCLUDING LABORATORY FEES ARE DETERMINED THROUGH PS&amp;R CHARGES TIMES OUTPATIENT COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT SINCE THESE SERVICES ARE RELATED COSTS PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND WERE RENDERED AS PART OF THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY OF PROVIDING CARE TO ANY PATIENT IN NEED OF MEDICAL CARE, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR SUCH CARE.</Explanation>
