        <Explanation>HRH SERVES THE COMMUNITIES LOCATED IN SOUTHERN AROOSTOOK COUNTY AS WELL AS A FEW COMMUNITIES IN BORDERING COUNTIES. THE SERVICE AREA IS GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED FROM THE LARGER POPULATION CENTER OF BANGOR, ME. TRAVEL WITHIN THE SERVICE AREA AND TO OUT-OF-AREA DESTINATIONS IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE HARSH MAINE WINTERS.THE POPULATION IN AROOSTOOK COUNTY IS OLDER THAN THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE. BASED ON THE 2012 US CENSUS, 20.0% OF THE SERVICE AREA POPULATION IS ELDERLY (65+ YEARS), WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THE STATE % OF ELDERLY. THIS HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF ELDERLY COULD CONTRIBUTE TO A DISPROPORTIONATE UTILIZATION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES. HRH SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS ARE POORER AND CONFRONTED BY A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT RATE THAN MAINERS AS A WHOLE. MOST INCOME MEASURES FOR AROOSTOOK COUNTY ARE LOWER AND POVERTY IS HIGHER THAN STATEWIDE AVERAGES. 31.8% OF THE SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE LOW-INCOME (LESS THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL) ACCORDING TO THE 2012 CENSUS COMPARED TO 26.6% IN MAINE AS A WHOLE.

        <Explanation>THE HOSPITAL HAS MANY INDIVIDUAL POLICIES THAT RELATE TO COLLECTIONS. THE HOSPITAL HAS A FREE CARE DISCOUNT POLICY WHICH SPECIFIES THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. WHEN AN APPLICATION IS RECEIVED THAT MEETS THE INCOME ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS, A SEARCH OF THE BILLING/ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE IS PERFORMED TO LOCATE ALL ACCOUNTS FOR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD. THE ACCOUNTS FOR HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS ARE THEN FLAGGED AS "FREE", BALANCES ARE WRITTEN OFF, AND AN APPROVAL LETTER IS MAILED TO THE APPLICANT. A COPY OF THE APPLICATION IS PLACED IN THE FREE CARE BINDER AND RETAINED THERE FOR THREE MONTHS, WHICH IS THE LENGTH OF TIME AN APPLICATION IS VALID AND IN EFFECT. SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS ARE REVIEWED FOR OPEN/ACTIVE FREE CARE APPLICATIONS BEFORE BILLING THE PATIENT. IF THE PATIENT HAS AN OPEN/ACTIVE FREE CARE APPLICATION, THE BALANCE IS WRITTEN-OFF AS CHARITY CARE AND THE PATIENT IS NOT BILLED. A SIMILAR PROCESS IS IN PLACE FOR THE SLIDING FEE DISCOUNTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS OF THE HOSPITAL-BASED RURAL HEALTH CLINICS.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community Benefit</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The portion of the Medicare shortfall related to the skilled nursing facility should constitute community benefit because the hospital provided the service while subsidizing the financial losses incurred by the unit. Due to the extent of financial losses and the declining census on this unit, the hospital did close the skilled nursing facility on September 30,2013.SNF reimbursement $ 933,921SNF allowable costs $1,874,864SNF shortfall ($ 940,943)Additional Medicare shortfall - revenue and costs not included in the Medicare cost report: Cost Professional Report Fees TotalReimbursement $16,955,610 $1,423,115 $18,378,725Costs $17,483,031 $2,272,862 $19,755,893Shortfall ($ 527,421) ($ 849,747) ($ 1,377,168)The hospital bills for various physician services throughout the year. The charges and costs related to those professional services are not reported in the hospital's cost report.Professional Fee Reimbursement: when preparing the cost report total charges by department are taken from the general ledger, detail reports by procedure and inpatient/outpatient are generated for those departments that include professional service revenue, and professional service revenue is then subtracted from total revenue to arrive at revenue to report on worksheet C on the cost report. The same reports were run for only Medicare professional service revenue by inpatient and outpatient. Inpatient Medicare professional fee revenue was then reduced by the inpatient medicare professional fee deductions from revenue on the general ledger to arrive at inpatient professional fee reimbursement. Outpatient Medicare professional fee reimbursement was derived by multiplying the gross reimbursement on the CAH-fee reimbursed provider summary report (report type 855) by the percentage of professional charges included in the same report. Professional fee costs: Medicare professional fee costs were derived by determining the percentage of professional fee revenue by specialty service related to Medicare and multiplying the specific professional costs summarized by specialty service (A-8-2 support) by the Medicare percentage.Shortfall: the professional fee reimbursement is $849,747 less than the professional fee costs.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Patient accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to patient accounts receivable.</Explanation>

        <ReturnReference>Part III, Line 3 - Methodology of Estimated Amount &amp; Rationale for Including in Community Benefit</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>This amount is based on the organization's bad debt expense at cost (calculated at Line 2) multiplied by the percentage of persons in Aroostook County below the poverty level (15.9%). The hospital uses the Federal Poverty Guidelines to determine eligibility for providing free care to low income individuals. The family income limit for eligibility for free care is 150% of poverty level. We assume that the demographics of the patients comprising our bad debt expense are similar to the demographics of ARoostook County (the County we are located in). Per the US Census Bureau QuickFacts for Aroostook County, Maine, 15.9% of persons in 2012 are below poverty level. Since our eligibility criteria for our hospital is 150% poverty level and we used the percentage below 100% to estimate the potential charity care written off as bad debt, we believe our calculation is reasonable and conservative.</Explanation>
