        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Certain controlled organizations are subject to income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial and income tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates and laws. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The deferred income tax provision or benefit generally reflects the net change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the year. The current income tax provision reflects the tax consequences of revenue and expenses currently taxable or deductible on various income tax returns for the year reported. Sanford Medical Center Wheaton did not have a material income tax liability at June 30, 2013; some related organizations have established reserves.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part I, Line 3c: Sanford's charity care policy provides discounted and free services to patients who lack the resources to be fully responsible for the healthcare they receive. The Community Care Policy is designed to ensure the entire community served by Sanford has access to needed healthcare services.Eligibility for discounted or free services under the Community Care Policy is based on income levels and family size. Generally, individuals earning income of up to 375% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines are eligible for varying levels of discounts, including full discounts for certain income levels. In addition, an automatic discount is provided to any patient who is determined to not have insurance of any type. Applications for coverage under the program may be obtained at any Sanford patient registration area.The primary scope of Sanford's financial assistance matrix considers family income and family size to objectively determine financial need. The family income range varies from 225% to 375% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).An applicant over 375% may be eligible for some level of financial assistance based on a review of additional factors such as: the size of the account balance, debt-to-income ratio, current assets, current liabilities, IRS food expense allowances, monthly cash flow, etc.Additionally, it is possible for a family to qualify in one segment (based on income and family size alone) but be moved to a more generous (for the patient) segment based on the other financial variables mentioned above.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part I, Line 7: A cost-to-charge ratio is used to calculate the amounts on Line 7a - 7c (Charity Care, Medicaid Shortfall and Other Means-Tested Government Programs). The amounts for Lines 7e - 7i would come from the books and records of specific segments of the organization and would not be based on a cost-to-charge ratio.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part I, L7 Col(f): Total expenses reported on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A) include bad debt expense. This expense has been removed from the denominator when calculating the percent of total expense considered the net community benefit expense and reported in Part I, Line 7, Column (f). The amount of bad debt expense excluded from this percentage calculation is $138,611.Part III, Line 3: Bad debt expense at cost is determined using the same methodology that is used to calculate Charity Care and Medicaid Shortfall. Discounts and allowances are accounted for separately from Bad Debt Expense.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: The audited financial statements of Sanford do not include a bad debt footnote. Sanford reports bad debt in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Bad debt expense at cost is determined using the same methodology that is used to calculate Charity Care and Medicaid Shortfall. Discounts and allowances are accounted for separately from Bad debt expense.It is Sanford's policy to make charity care available to patients who fit the charity care criteria. It is the organization's goal to make certain that Sanford is proactive in identification of the patients who need help with financial concerns. Financial counselors make every effort to ensure that charity care patients do not progress to bad debt. For this reason, a dollar amount for bad debt is not included.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 8: Per IRS instructions, Sanford has identified the cost associated with providing Medicare services from the Medicare cost report. The Medicare cost report calculations are total expense less expenses deemed "unallowable" per Medicare regulations. The net expense is then used to calculate the cost per day and cost to charge ratios which are multiplied by the Medicare days and ancillary charges to determine the cost of providing Medicare services. If all expenses that Sanford Medical Center Wheaton incurred were included on the Medicare cost report; this would show a shortfall of approximately $140,521. Sanford believes this shortfall should be considered community benefit because these services would need to be provided by either another charitable organization or the government if they were not provided by Sanford.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 9b: Sanford will provide services at no cost or reduced cost to patients who qualify for the program. Patients with incomes at or below 225% of the United States Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines will receive a 100% reduction of their payment responsibility. Patients with income between 225% - 375% of the poverty guideline will be given a discount based on a sliding scale and assets are considered in the calculation of the income of the patient, with the exception of the patient's principal residence. Patients above 375% of the FPG will be reviewed for additional factors such as size of medical debt before a final determination. Patients must make their financial need known to appropriate personnel and be engaged in filing appropriate and complete applications. The program is available to those patients without health care benefits from any source as well as to those who have coverage for health care costs through a government program, commerical insurance or other health benefit plan but continue to have a remaining balance after benefits have been applied to the charges.Sanford will not deny financial assistance based on race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap or age.Every effort is made to identify patients with financial need as early as possible in the revenue cycle.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part V, Section B, Line 1j: The community health needs assessment was conducted during FY 2013. The main model used was the Association for Community Health Improvement's (ACHI) Community Health Needs Assessment toolkit.The following qualitative data sets were studied: - Community Health Needs Assessment of Community Leaders - In some communities additional surveys included: Community Health Needs Assessment of Residents (Generalizable)The following quantitative data sets were studied: - 2011 County Health Profiles for Counties - Aging Profiles for Counties - Diversity Profiles for CountiesAsset mapping was conducted by reviewing the data and identifying the unmet needs from the varioius surveys and data sets. The process implemented was based on the McKnight Foundation model - Mapping Community Capacity by John L. McKnight and John P. Kretzmann, Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University.Each unmet need was researched to determine what resources were available in the community to address the needs. The Community Health Needs Assessment Collaborative performed the asset mapping and reviewed the findings. The group conducted an informal gap analysis to determine what needs remained after resources were thoroughly researched. Once gaps were determined the group proceeded to the prioritization process. The multi-voting methodology was implemented to determine what top priorities would be further developed into implementation strategies.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part V, Section B, Line 3: Sanford convened key health care leaders and other not-for-profit leaders in the Fargo Moorhead community to establish a Fargo Moorhead Community Health Needs Assessment Collaborative. The collaborative members included public health leaders, other community hospital organizations, and not-for-profit groups. A primary goal of this collaborative was to craft standardized tools, indicators and methodology that can be used by all group members when conducting assessments and also be used by all of the Sanford hospital facilities across the enterprise. After much discussion, it was determined that the Robert Wood Johnson Framework for county profiles would be our secondary data model.A subgroup of this collaborative met with researchers from the North Dakota State University Center for Social Research to develop a survey tool for our key stakeholder groups. The survey tool incorporated the University of North Dakota's Center for Rural Health community health needs assessment tool and the Fletcher Allen community health needs assessment tool. North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota Center for Rural Health worked together to develop additional questions and to ensure that scientific methodology was incorporated in the design.The representatives of the communities assessed included city mayors, city council/commission members, physicians, nurses, school superintendents and school board members, parish nurses, representatives from the Native American community, Faith Community Leaders, as well as legal services, mentally and physically disabled, social services, non-profit organizations and financial services. The CHNA for all Sanford hospital facilities include listings of the individuals who served on steering groups and those who provided input.
