      <Desc>Pembina County Memorial Hospital Association is a 24 bed acute care hospital, 50 bed nursing home, 20-unit congregate housing project (Country Estates), and clinic located in Cavalier, North Dakota. The facility provides quality medical and long-term care to residents of the surrounding area without regard to the individuals' ability to pay for services received. The Association also provides health education and other services to the community. The Association provides health care services to patients who meet certain criteria under its Charity Care Policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Since the Association does not pursue collection of these amounts, they are not reported as patient service revenue. The estimated cost of providing charity care was $3,000 for December 31, 2013. This was calculated by multiplying the ratio of cost to gross charges for the Association by the gross uncompensated charges associated with providing charity care to its patients.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Association is organized as a North Dakota nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Association is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, the Association is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. The Association has determined it is not subject to unrelated business income tax and has not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) with the IRS. The Association 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 financial statements. The Association 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.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Costing Methodology for Determining Amount of Organization's Bad Debt Expense Attributable to Patients Eligible under the Organization's Charity Care Policy:8.0% of the individuals in Pembina County fall below the federal poverty levels according to the 2010 Census data. Care is given to individuals regardless of their ability to pay and if the individual's family size and income are below the federal poverty guidelines then they would be eligible for 100% charity care allowance. Therefore the Organization estimates that 8.0% of the bad debt expense is attributable to patients eligible under the Organization's charity care policy. This is a community benefit and a reasonable estimate based on the demographics of the area the Organization serves.Footnote from Organization's Financial Statements: The footnote that describes bad debt expense is found on page 7 of the attached audit report.</ExplanationTxt>

If an application is incomplete, it is returned to the guarantor and collection efforts/actions resume if the completed application is not returned. Upon receipt of a complete application, collection efforts may be reversed if a patient is eligible for charity care and/or financial assistance. Charity Care applications are reviewed and approved by the Business Office manager and the CEO or CFO. A determination of eligibility for financial assistance is documented. Partial charity care discounts may apply. If a patient is known to be financially struggling or has filed a charity care application in the past, the charity care application is mailed with their 60 day invoice from the Hospital. If a patient is determined to qualify for financial assistance, all collection practices are stopped.</ExplanationTxt>

Our key leaders and volunteer board members are residents who live within the areas we service. We extend medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the community. If we have surplus funds, these dollars are used to improve patient care in many different areas within the organization. Surplus funds are used to upgrade existing equipment or to purchase new equipment to provide new services. The funds are also used to make improvements to the facility such as renovation of patient areas and departments. These improvements must be approved by upper management and depending upon the improvement, sometimes the Board of Directors must approve it as well. In a rural setting, it is crucial to be involved in the community, so Pembina County Memorial Hospital participates in the annual health fair, diabetic education and other events throughout the year. It is imperative to further our exempt status to continue to promote our services and quality of care within our service area.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>For January - September: Pembina County Memorial Hospital Association does not pay compensation to the CEO directly.

The Pembina County Memorial Hospital Association's Board of Directors uses the processes described in Part I, Question 3 to determine appropriate compensation for the CEO. Any increase in compensation is communicated to Unity Medical Center. Unity Medical Center sends Pembina County Memorial Hospital Association a monthly bill for his wages earned at Pembina. Effective September 2013: Tanya Sharp, CEO, is directly compensated by PCMH. The CEO salary is derived from reviewing the AHA salary survey and then discussed and approved by the Board. An annual review of salary and performance/goals will take place.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The process of disclosing conflicts of interest is gone through annually. Each Board member completes a form and discloses if they have a conflict of interest. The CEO and Board President review the disclosure forms and if a conflict arises as an issue, it is brought to the full Board for discussion on further action (if necessary), which may result in a consultation with an attorney. If the Board is voting on an issue where there is a conflict of interest, the person with the conflict of interest is asked to abstain from the vote.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The process for determining compensation includes looking at state salary surveys from the American Hospital Association or North Dakota Hospital Association. For the CEO, the Executive Committee of the Board derives the compensation contract. The CFO's compensation is reviewed annually by the CEO. Changes to the CFO's salary may be based on American Hospital Association Surveys or other industry surveys and also budget approval by the Board of Directors. For others, the Board is not involved in the final compensation decision, but instead the CEO and CFO make the final compensation decisions. This process is done annually and was last undertaken in 2013.</ExplanationTxt>
