        <PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS 1,426,620.</PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>
        <BadDebtFootnote>4A- Bad Debt expense is that portion of any self pay balance referred on for outside collection services, and that either did not apply or did not qualify under our Charity Care policy. The hospital provides services without charge or at amounts less than its established rate (to patients who meet the criteria of it's charity care policy). The hospital's charity care policy is founded on the federal poverty income quidelines. Accounts and amounts determined to meet this criteria are not reported as net revenue and are not pursued for collection. 4B- Used the Cost to Charge Ratio DERIVED FROM Worksheet 2 and applied THAT PERCENTAGE TO Net Bad Debts to arrive at AN ESTIMATED COST OF BAD DEBT. Then, per Collection Supervisor's estimate, applied 15% to the Net Bad Debts to arrive at estimated cost that could be Charity.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <DebtCollectionPolicy>We have both a Collection Policy and a Charity Care Policy that covers criteria for payment arrangements and for partial or full charity care write-off.</DebtCollectionPolicy>
        <NeedsAssessment>Pershing is a small rural Critical Access Hospital and as such receives continuous feedback from the patients we serve, our physicians, other medical providers, board members (who represent a wide representation of our community), and from various ongoing patient satisfaction surveys. Such surveys are reported at board meetings and distributed to all hospital departments. A 9 page telephone survey was conducted (by an independent organization) in 2007 which covered all providers of health care services in Linn County, and made available to all entities.</NeedsAssessment>
        <PatientEducationAssistance>Information on our charity care and collection (payment arrangements) policies are available thru our collection personnel and others at Pershing Hospital and thru our walk-in clinic, Community Medical Associates. Last year, in an effort to more widely advertise our policies, our collection staff were interviewed by our local newspaper and they published (main page) an extensive article on our policies, citing examples and guidelines. Further, we print an abbreveated version of our charity care policy guidelines with an example on patient statements sent out. Social Services - thru the assessment/consultation process, identifies and assists in the application process for individuals.</PatientEducationAssistance>
