      <Description>San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center (SLVRMC) has operated as an independent, not-for-profit hospital for over 83 years. SLVRMC serves the six counties of the San Luis Valley with a population of just under 50,000 and an area of over 8,200 square miles; larger than the state of New Jersey. Including our relationship with Conejos County Hospital, SLVRMC employs almost 600 and is the largest employer in the San Luis Valley. The trustees, providers and staff of SLVRMC are understandably proud of their tradition for providing care and service to our communities. Serving our low-income community means that we have a challenging payer mix with high Medicaid, uninsured and relatively low commercial percentages. This has led to our organization being resourceful, creative and innovative in order to continue service with positive operating margins. SLVRMC's operating expense per adjusted patient day is $2,999 compared to a Colorado average of $3,367 and a rural hospital average of $3,753. Over the last eight years, our gross revenue has increased from $20M to $60M and the number of patients served has expanded several fold. New services have been added in medication oncology, inpatient rehabilitation, dialysis, sleep disorders, women's imaging center, fixed wing medical transportation, genetic counseling, behavioral health, cardiology, chiropractic, oncology/infusion therapy and more.</Description>

        <Identifier>PART III, LINE 4</Identifier>
        <Explanation>Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Medical Center analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each of its major payer sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for uncollectible accounts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payer sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Medical Center analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for uncollectible accounts, if necessary (for example, for expected uncollectible deductibles and copayments on accounts for which the third-party payer has not yet paid, or for payers who are known to be having financial difficulties that make the realization of amounts due unlikely). For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which includes both patients without insurance and patients with deductible and copayment balances due for which third-party coverage exists for part of the bill), the Medical Center records a significant provision for uncollectible accounts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated or provided by policy) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. THE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER PATIENTS WHO DO NOT COOPERATE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY CAN BE BURDENSOME, PARTICULARLY FOR SMALL BALANCES, SO A REASONABLE ESTIMATE, BASED ON BROAD DEMOGRAPHIC DATA, SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY COMMUNITY BENEFIT TREATMENT.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The costing methodology to determine Line 6 was the overall facility cost-to-charge ratio. The timing of revenues from Medicare will not always correspond to the timing of the expenses. Based on Medicare cost reports filed after the end of the year there may be additional revenues due the hospital or amounts due back to Medicare. The surplus or (shortfall) for the last three years is as follows: 6/30/11 (3,610,290) 6/30/12 3,092,126 6/30/13 (2,322,085)</Explanation>
