A FULL REPORT IS COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED EVERY THREE YEARS, WITH UPDATES SUBMITTED EACH OF THE OTHER TWO YEARS. THE REPORTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC VIA SAMARITAN'S WEBSITE (WWW.SAMARITANHEALTH.COM) OR BY CONTACTING THE SAMARITAN MARKETING OFFICE.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 7: THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES METHODOLOGY WAS UTILIZED IN COMPUTING ALL EXPENSES REPORTED ON LINES 7A. THROUGH 7G. THE WORKSHEET (#1 THROUGH #6) TEMPLATES IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE H WERE FOLLOWED TO COMPUTE COSTS REPORTED.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 7G: THE COSTS REPORTED ON THIS LINE REPRESENT THE NET EXPENSE FOR THE OUTPATIENT PRIMARY CARE CLINICS OPERATED BY SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER. THE "NET" EXPENSE WAS COMPUTED UTILIZING WORKSHEET 6 OF THE SCHEDULE H FORM.</Explanation>

      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER (SMC), SAMARITAN MEDICAL PRACTICE, P.C. (SMP) AND SAMARITAN KEEP NURSING HOME, INC. (SKH) ANALYZE PAST PAYMENT HISTORY AND IDENTIFY TRENDS FOR EACH MAJOR PAYOR SOURCE OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, SMC, SMP AND SKH ANALYZE CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDE AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS AND FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, SMC, SMP AND SKH ALSO ANALYZE AMOUNTS DUE AND PROVIDE AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING CONSIDERATION OF CURRENT BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. WHEN SMC, SMP AND SKH ESTABLISH THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BOTH TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT MANY SELF-PAY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT AT COST REPORTED ON LINE #2 WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE OVERALL HOSPITAL RCC (COMPUTED USING WORKSHEET #2) TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT EXPENSE AS REPORTED IN OUR 2012 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.</Explanation>

THE METHODOLOGY IS BASED ON APPLYING FACILITY RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES TO THE MEDICARE (PROGRAM) CHARGES, AS PROVIDED BY NATIONAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES IN THE PS&amp;R REPORT.THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE. SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES MEDICAL SERVICES TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE COVERAGE. THE OVERALL (INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT) MEDICARE PAYOR MIX FOR 2012 WAS APPROXIMATELY 36%.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 9B: IF CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE IS GRANTED, PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY WITHIN 60 DAYS OF APPLICATION DATE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNT.
