        <IncomeBasedCriteria>Part I, Line 3c: The Organization uses the FPG to determine free or discounted care. Individuals who are below 200% of the FPG qualify for free care. In most instances, they have to provide financial documentation and fill out a charity care application. We also use a presumptive charity care program that analzyes public and private databases to help determine eligibility for charity care. These individuals do not have any other documentation to provide. This program is used after collection attempts have been discontinued. Extraordinary assets are taken in to consideration when determining charity care eligibility. Medically indigent individuals are covered under the same charity care policy. Individuals between 200% and 300% of the federal proverty limits are granted charity on a sliding scale</IncomeBasedCriteria>
        <PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>Part I, Line 7f: If an individual does not have a residence that can be used to run through the preseumptive charity care application and they do not fill out the appropriate paperwork to apply for charity, their account balance will be written off to bad debt. Based upon a review of charity applications that were rejected due to incomplete/missing information, it has been determined that approximately 24% of the applications we receive are rejected but the patient appears to qualify for charity but they haven't not completed the appropriate forms.</PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln>
        <BadDebtFootnote>Part III, Line 4: THE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE "ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS" PARAGRAPH IN NOTE 1 TO the Great River Medical Center, GRMC Foundation and Great River Foundation, Inc. Combined Financial Statements:"Patient receivables where a third-party payor is responsible for paying the amount are carried at a net amount determined by the original charge for the service provided, less an estimate made for contractual adjustments or discounts provided to third-party payors. Patient receivables due directly from patients are carried at the original charge for the service provided less amounts covered by third-party payors and less an estimated allowance for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts, by historical experience applied to an aging of accounts and by considering the patients' financial history, credit history and current economic conditions. The Medical Center does not charge interest on patient receivables. Patient receivables are written off as bad debt expenses when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables peviously written off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense when received."THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) REPORTED IN PART III, LINE 2 IS CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS: PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT INCLUDE PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE, REIMBURSED COSTS, DISCOUNTED CHARGES AND PER DIEM PAYMENTS. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>Part III, Line 8: A cost-to-charge ratio as determined by the 2010 Medicare Cost Report was used to determine the amounts in Part III, lines 5 and 6.

        <DebtCollectionPolicy>Part III, Line 9b: Collection efforts are discontinued once the patient has been approved for charity care.</DebtCollectionPolicy>
