The Center will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities in income tax expense if incurred. The Center is no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007 and state examination for years before 2007.</Explanation>

        <IncomeBasedCriteria>Part I, Line 3c: Although each application for charity care is dealt with on an individual basis, the following Federal guidelines as to annual income signify a starting point in the eligibility process for discounted care:Poverty Guidelines = Charges reduced to zero150% = 75% reduction in charges200% = 50% reduction in charges250% = 25% reduction in charges</IncomeBasedCriteria>
        <AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln>Part I, Line 6a: The annual community benefit report is made available upon request.</AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln>
        <CostingMethodUsed>Part I, Line 7: The organization used the following methods to determine the costs for Part I, Line 7:Row a: Charity care was converted to cost using the cost to charge ratio in worksheet 2.Row b: Medicaid amounts reported reflect amounts calculated from internal records. Row e &amp; i: Community health improvement services and contributions are amounts based on the actual dollars spent in the activities. Row g: Subsidized health services reported are amounts based off of Medicare Cost Report figures.</CostingMethodUsed>
        <PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>Part I, Line 7f: The amount of bad debt expense removed from the denominator is $89,039.</PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>
        <BadDebtFootnote>Part III, Line 4: Financial Statement Bad Debt Expense Footnote:The carrying amount of patient and resident receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's estimate of amounts that will not be collected from patients, residents, and third-party payors. Management reviews patient and resident receivables by payor class and applies percentages to determine estimated amounts that will not be collected from third parties under contractual agreements and amounts that will not be collected from patients and residents due to bad debts. Management considers historical write off and recovery information in determining the estimated bad debt provision.Bad debt expense was converted to cost using the ratio of patient care cost to charges calculated using Worksheet 2.The organization estimates that 10% of the bad debt expense at cost is attributable to patients who would be eligible under the organization's charity care policy. Approximately 10% of population which the organization services is below federal poverty levels and so it is reasonable to assume that 10% of the bad debt could be attributable to patients who would be eligible for charity care.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>Part III, Line 8: Medicare allowable costs are based on the Medicare Cost Report. The Medicare Cost Report is completed based on the rules and regulations set forth by CMS.</ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>

If throughout these conversations, the collector and patient discuss that the patient is not able to afford payments as required by our policy, the patient is encouraged to apply for charity care. An application and policy is sent to the patient to complete. According to federal poverty guidelines, the patient may qualify for all or a percent of charges written off their account. Patients must apply for MA prior to qualifying for charity care. Additional information is offered to help them apply for state funded programs.</DebtCollectionPolicy>
        <NeedsAssessment>Part VI, Line 2: Satisfaction surveys are sent to patients who have had an encounter/visit within the year; community assessments are done every 3-5 years by an independent third party.</NeedsAssessment>
