        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community Benefit</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The hospital uses a cost-to-charge ratio to calculate cost amounts. This ratio is computed using Blessing Hospital's as-filed Medicare cost report. These costs and charges are adjusted to account for items not reimbursed through the cost report such as provider-based physician services. IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545, which established the community benefit standard for nonprofit hospital's states that if a hospital serves patients with government health benefits, including Medicare, then this is an indication that the hospital operates to promote the health of the community. This implies that treating medicare patients is a community benefit.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 3 - Methodology of Estimated Amount &amp; Rationale for Including in Community Benefit</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>A number of patients are truly unable to pay for their medical expenditures but do not complete the process required to apply for financial assistance. THE HOSPITAL USES FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION OF SUCH PATIENTS OTHERWISE AVAILABLE TO THE HOSPITAL TO IDENTIFY THOSE patients THAT would qualify for charity care if they completed the paperwork. THE HOSPITAL ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES THE PERCENTAGE OF THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE THAT IS EVENTUALLY REVERSED DUE TO PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL APPLIES THAT PERCENTAGE TO THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE THAT WILL BE FOUND TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. The bad debt expense associated with SUCH PATIENTS' ACCOUNTS ARE treated as community benefit.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 2 - Methodology Used To Estimate Bad Debt Expense</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Bad debt expense is calculated on the net patient account balance after the balance has been reduced for any payments received or discounts/adjustments that are known. Patients qualifying for financial assistance are recognized as charity care accounts when sufficient information is received to determine their eligibility. Prior to this point, an allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated on uninsured accounts. This allowance is reversed if the account is determined to qualify for financial assistance.</Explanation>
