        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 3C: N/A PART I, LINE 6A: THERE IS AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT PREPARED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC VIEWING. PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F: OUR TOTAL EXPENSE FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 COLUMN (A) WAS $11,099,748. THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT WAS $1,830,595. THIS LEFT A TOTAL EXPENSE OF $9,269,153 FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F). PART I, LINE 7: PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT ARE UNCOLLECTED, INCLUDING THOSE PLACES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGES AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTION POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM, AND IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED ON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES AS OF THE REPORTING DATE WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST DUE BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES. PART II: N/A PART III, LINE 4: THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS AS FOLLOWS: "PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT ARE UNCOLLECTED, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTIONS POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEMS AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED ON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESS THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES AS OF THE REPORTING DATE WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES." TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED WAS BASED ON DETAILED COST ACCOUNTING, WHERE AVAILABLE. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS NOT AVAILABLE, COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE UTILIZED. THE FILING ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $0. ALTHOUGH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUIRES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PATIENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE A PROCESS UNDER PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY (REFER TO DISCLOSURE FOR PART III, #9B) TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHARITY POLICY IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ALMOST ALL PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE. PART III, LINE 8: IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY HOSPITAL WALDRON THAT 100% OF ANY SHORT FALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER. THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE IS CALCULATED BY THE GROSS CHARGES NET OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO LESS ANY PAYMENTS, DEDUCTIONS OR REIMBURSEMENTS USING THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS FORM 2552-96). PART III, LINE 9B: MERCY HOSPITAL WALDRON'S ("MERCY") DEBT COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE REVIEW OF EACH INPATIENT ACCOUNT BEFORE TURNING AN ACCOUNT TO A THIRD-PARTY COLLECTION AGENT AND PRIOR TO INSTITUTING ANY LEGAL ACTION FOR NON-PAYMENT, TO ASSURE THAT THE PATIENT AND PATIENT GUARANTOR ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (E.G., MEDICAID) AND DO NOT QUALIFY FOR COVERAGE THROUGH MERCY'S COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE POLICY. AFTER HAVING BEEN TURNED OVER TO A THIRD-PARTY COLLECTION AGENT, ANY PATIENT ACCOUNT THAT IS SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED TO HAVE MET THE MERCY HOSPITAL COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE POLICY IS REQUIRED TO BE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY BY THE THIRD-PARTY COLLECTION AGENT TO MERCY FOR APPROPRIATE FOLLOW-UP. MERCY REQUIRES ITS THIRD-PARTY COLLECTION AGENTS TO INCLUDE A MESSAGE ON ALL STATEMENTS INDICATING THAT IF A PATIENT OR PATIENT GUARANTOR MEETS CERTAIN STIPULATED INCOME REQUIREMENTS, THE PATIENT OR PATIENT GUARANTOR MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. MERCY UTILIZES THE "SEARCH AMERICA" TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE CHARITY QUALIFICATION. PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY WILL BE GRANTED IN SITUATIONS WHERE MERCY HOSPITAL HAS BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION. MERCY UTILIZES PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT FOR CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS IN EXCESS OF $10,000. IN THESE CASES, MERCY UTILIZES THE SEARCH AMERICA REPORT STATUS OF "PROBABLE CHARITY" AS THE BASIS FOR ASSIGNING THE CHARITY LEVEL. MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE LEGAL ACTION CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES. ADDITIONALLY THEY MAY INCLUDE LIENS UPON REAL PROPERTY AND REASONABLE WAGE GARNISHMENTS. LEGAL ACTIONS WILL GENERALLY NOT INCLUDE BANK GARNISHMENT, REPOSSESSION OF ASSETS OR FORECLOSURES TO ENFORCE SATISFACTION OF A LIEN. MERCY HAS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE INITIATION OF LEGAL ACTION AND ANNUALLY REVIEWS COMPLIANCE WITH ALL POLICIES. NEEDS ASSESSMENT: PART VI, LINE 2: MERCY HOSPITAL WALDRON'S OBJECTIVES OF COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT ARE TO IDENTIFY HEALTH NEEDS IN FORT SMITH AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, AND INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY IN THE HEALTH PLANNING EFFORTS. THE INFORMATION GATHERED IS USED TO PLAN STRATEGICALLY, AND BETTER MEET THE HEATH AND HUMAN SERVICE NEEDS OF THESE COMMUNITIES. MERCY HOSPITAL WALDRON LOOKS AT COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY AND IDENTIFY RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO MEET IDENTIFIED NEEDS. BASIC DISCUSSION FORUMS HAVE BEEN UTILIZED TO FOSTER CONVERSATION WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS. EXAMPLES OF FORUMS INCLUDE AN ADVISORY BOARD, SPECIFIC FOCUS GROUPS, OPINION SURVEYS, AND COMMUNITY ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS. STAKEHOLER PARTICIPANTS INCLUDE BOARD MEMBERS, COMMUNITY/CIVIC LEADERS, LOCAL EMPLOYERS, OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, FORMER PATIENTS, AND CO-WORKERS. PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE: PART VI, LINE 3: THE FILING ORGANIZATION HAS PRINTED MATERIAL AVAILABLE AT EACH POINT OF REGISTRATION IN OUR FACILITY, IN ADDITION TO ELECTRONIC AVAILABILITY AT OUR WEB SITE. SPECIFIC INFORMATION PROVIDED: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION AS A PART OF OUR HEALING MINISTRY, THE FILING ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION. WE OFFER PAYMENT ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE OR WHO ARE IN FINANCIAL NEED. UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNTS A DISCOUNT FROM THE HOSPITAL'S REGULAR BILLED CHARGES WILL BE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE. THIS INCLUDES PATIENTS WHOSE FINANCIAL SITUATION NORMALLY WOULD NOT OTHERWISE QUALIFY THEM FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS. PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE WHOSE FINANCIAL SITUATION QUALIFIES THEM FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS (SEE ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES BELOW) MUST FIRST FIND OUT IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID BEFORE APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PATIENTS DENIED MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY THEN MUST PROVIDE CERTAIN INFORMATION TO SHOW FINANCIAL NEED. APPLICATIONS FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS WILL BE REVIEWED FOR ELIGIBILITY BASED ON THE APPLICANT'S INCOME, FAMILY SIZE, AMOUNT OF PAYMENT DUE AND AVAILABILITY OF OTHER ASSETS OR RESOURCES. PLEASE NOTE THAT CARE MUST BE MEDICALLY NECESSARY TO BE CONSIDERED ELIGIBLE FOR UNINSURED PATIENT DISCOUNTS. ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR INCOME ARE THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CHA</Explanation>
