      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS REPORTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP). HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION STATEMENT 15 IS FOLLOWED TO THE EXTENT IT ALIGNS WITH GAAP.FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT EXPENSE: THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ITS SERVICE AREA, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON ITS REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION RECENT WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY, PAYOR AGREEMENT RATE CHANGES, AND OTHER FACTORS. THE RESULTS OF THESE EVALUATIONS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER AMOUNTS DUE FROM THIRD PARTY PAYORS ARE SATISFIED, THE SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING CERTAIN PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH EXTERNAL COLLECTION AGENCIES.COSTING METHODOLOGY: THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES (FROM MEDICARE COST REPORT) IS APPLIED TO THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO CALCULATE COST OF BAD DEBT ON LINE 2. DISCOUNTS AND ALLOWANCES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR SEPARATELY FROM BAD DEBT EXPENSE.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 8: MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO DIRECTLY FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. SHORTFALLS ARISE FROM PAYMENTS THAT ARE LESS THAN WHAT IT COSTS TO PROVIDE THE CARE AND SERVICES. WE ACCEPT ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS KNOWING THE COST OF PROVIDING THE CARE MAY EXCEED THE FUNDS WE RECEIVE FROM MEDICARE FOR THE SERVICE. OUR SHORTFALL IS CONSIDERED TO BE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS IMPLIED IN INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE REVENUE RULING 69-545 THAT TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD FOR TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS, INDICATES THAT PARTICIPATION IN PUBLICLY-FINANCED PROGRAMS, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS EVIDENCE THAT A HOSPITAL MEETS THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD.</Explanation>
