PART III, LINE 4: 990 PART III LINE 4: (FOOTNOTE)THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S POLICY IS NOT TO PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE; THEREFORE, THESE AMOUNTS ARE NOT REPORTED IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. DURING 2022 AND 2021, COSTS INCURRED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER IN THE PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE WERE BASED ON THE RATIO OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COSTS TO GROSS CHARGES AND APPROXIMATED $190,000 AND $258,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021, RESPECTIVELY. 990 PART III, LINE 3:THE MEDICAL CENTER GRANTS CREDIT WITHOUT COLLATERAL TO PATIENTS, MOST OF WHOM ARE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND ARE INSURED UNDER THIRD-PARTY AGREEMENTS. ADDITIONS TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS ARE MADE BY MEANS OF THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE ARE DEDUCTED FROM THE ALLOWANCE AND SUBSEQUENT RECOVERIES ARE ADDED. THE AMOUNT OF THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. SERVICES RENDERED TO INDIVIDUALS WHEN PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AND ULTIMATELY NOT RECEIVED ARE WRITTEN OFF TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
PART III, LINE 8: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO.

IN THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THE PATIENT'S INCOME IS BETWEEN 200% - 300% OF THE FPG, A SMALL COST SHARE WOULD BE THE ONLY AMOUNT NOT INCLUDED IN CHARITY CARE. ADDITIONALLY THIS SMALL COST SHARE WOULD BE THE ONLY AMOUNT TURNED OVER TO COLLECTION WITH THE OPPORTUNITY OF EVENTUALLY BEING WRITTEN OF TO BAD DEBT IF NOT PAID.
