        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The Hospital is organized as a Montana nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as exempt from Federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Hospital is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, the Hospital is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. The Hospital has determined it is not subject to unrelated business income tax and has not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990-T) with the IRS. The Hospital believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements. The Hospital would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense, if such interest and penalties are incurred.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part I, Line 3c: Individuals applying for charity care must provide pay stubs, their most recent tax return, forms approving or denying eligibility for Medicaid and/or state or county funded medical assistance, forms approving or denying unemployment compensation and current bank statements. The items listed above will be used to determine family income. Family income and family size are then used to determine what the poverty threshold is for the applicant and to determine if free or discounted care will be approved.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part I, Line 7: Charity care was calculated by multiplying the ratio of cost to gross charges by the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing charity care to its patients. The Medicaid calculation is based on gross charges and claims from the Medicaid Cost Report.</Explanation>

      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 8: The cost to charge ratio is used to determine community benefit. This is done by applying the ratio to the total Medicare revenue. A shortfall or overage in any given year is a result of the timing of payments from Medicare on an interim basis and when final settlement is made. Management uses estimates to calculate such settlements but actual results vary from those estimates. Additionally, shortfalls can result from various expenses that are incurred by the facility which are considered non-reimbursable by Medicare. Since part of the costs are not reimbursed it is only prudent to consider this shortfall to be a benefit to the community.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 9b: Once a financial assistance application is submitted, collection actions are suspended until it is determined if the patient is eligible for financial assistance. All applications for financial assistance are reviewed and approved by the board. If an individual submits an incomplete FAP application, a patient account representative provides a notice requesting additional information and lets the individual know what additional information is needed. In certain cases, where deemed appropriate, collection actions are reversed if an individual is determined to be eligible for financial assistance.</Explanation>
