PREFACE 3
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
We are happy to report that we are staying abreast of the
many changes that are taking place in the field of health care, and
the outlook for the future is excellent.
Some of the changes lie in the area of accounting and *
administration, and include:
1. Alterations in Medicare and Medicaid regulations.
2. Conformity with the Economic Stabilization program
regulations.
3. New accounting principles as outlined in the Hospital
Audit Guide published by the American institute of
Certified Public Accountants.
Two new positions in the Frontier Nursing Service have been -
created: Controller and Administrator. We have been fortunate in j J
filling these positions with two highly qualified men. .
Our current Controller is getting our accounting policies in `
line with current principles and practice. ” .
Our Administrator is hard at work preparing for the move to `
the new Mary Breckinridge Hospital toward the end of this year. A.
This handsome new building will greatly facilitate our work of `
caring for our patients and teaching our graduate students. . ,
The future of the Frontier Nursing Service is exciting, and
with the help of the many dedicated individuals who contribute to ’ ‘
its purpose we are confident that we can successfully meet any
new challenge. . l

{ We have examined the balance sheet of Frontier Nursing Service, Inc.
as of April 30, 1974, and the related statements of revenues and expenses,
changes in fund balances and changes in financial position for the year
then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally ac-
cepted auditing standards, a.nd accordingly included such tests of the
accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
# necessary in the circumstances.
In our previous report on the financial statements at April 30, 1973,
and for the year then ended, we did not express an opinion on the financial
statements because we could not determine the propriety of certain amounts
included in the financial statements at April 30, 1973, and for the year then
ended, and at your request we did not extend our audit procedures at that
date. However, certain amounts as previously reported at April 30, 1973,
were restated on the basis of information developed during the year ended
April 30, 1974, as explained in Note B to the financial statements.
QJ In our opinion, subject to the effect of possible additional recoveries
T from the Medicare-Medicaid programs as described in Note C to the finan-
J cial statements, the accompanying balance sheet and statements of revenues
z and expenses, changes in fund balances, and changes in financial position
1 present fairly the financial position of Frontier Nursing Service, Inc. at
April 30, 1974, and the results of its operations, changes in fund balances
A. and financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
` accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of
. } the preceding year. In our opinion the balance sheet at April 30, 1973, as
;; restated, presents fairly the financial position of Frontier Nursing Service,
z “! Inc. at that date. We do not express an opinion on the statements of reve-
nues and expenses, changes in fund balances, and changes in financial
position for the year ended April 30, 1973, because of the limitation of the
, scope of our examination as explained in the preceding paragraph.

NOTES T0 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ie FRONTIER NURSING SERVICE, INC.
Year ended April 30, 1974 and 1973
L
a NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
i The accounting principles which materially affect the determination of financial
» position or results of operations are summarized below.
Patient Service Revenues
Patient service revenues are reported on an accrual basis in the period in which
services are provided, at established rates regardless of whether collection in full is
s expected. Discounts, charity allowances, the results of other arrangements for pro-
5 viding service at less than established rates, and the provision for uncollectible accounts
are reported as deductions from patient service revenue on an accrual basis.
A major portion of services are provided to indigent patients at nominal cost and
i bad debts and charity are substantial. During the year ended April 30, 1974, no
[ accounts receivable from patients were charged to bad debts and charity but the aggre-
l gate account balances at that date have been adjusted through the allowance for dis-
{ counts, charity, and bad debts to reflect the estimated net realizable amount therefor.
n
i Nonoperating Revenues
Q Donations, grants and bequests which are not restricted by donors and subject to
[ designation by the Service are reported as nonoperating revenue.
;
Board-Designated Funds
Donations, grants and bequests received for constructing and equipping a new
i hospital at Hyden, Kentucky and for certain operating purposes incident thereto are
{ accumulated in the Mary Breckinridge Hospital and Development Fund. The Service
g anticipates paying the remaining costs of construction of the new hospital from this
g Fund. Since donations, bequests and income from this Fund in prior years are suffi-
t cient to meet the cost of construction of the new hospital, the Service considers all
, donations, bequests, and income from investments of this Fund in 1974 and 1973 to be
available for general operating purposes and such amounts are recorded as non-
I,. operating revenue when received or earned.
` The Board of Governors has designated The Consolidated Investment Fund for
j accumulating funds for such operating and general purposes as they may determine.
wl
w Restricted Funds
` Endowment funds represent funds which are not available for general operating
~. purposes but the income from which is available for operating purposes. Such funds
` are classified as restricted funds and income therefrom is credited to revenue when
j earned in accordance with donors’ instructions.
it The term endowment, on which restrictions expire beginning April 1, 1978, will be
{ available for social service over a reasonable period.
r Frontier Nursing Service, Inc. is also income beneficiary of certain trust funds
·~ (aggregate market value at April 30, 1974 and April 30, 1973-—approximately $321,000
€_ and $380,000 respectively) which are not administered or controlled by the Service.
10 FRONTIER NURSING SERVICE
Accordingly, such funds are not refiected in the balance sheets at April 30, 1974 and ,
1973.
g Resources restricted by donors for additions to property and equipment are re- E'
1 corded as credits to the unrestricted fund balance when expended for the purposes
l intended. Resources restricted by donors for specific operating purposes are credited
l to other operating revenues when expended for the purposes intended. ·,
, Donated Services "
The estimated value of services donated through volunteer work is not recorded =
in the accounts of Frontier Nursing Service, Inc. ,
Property and Equipment {
Property and equipment is stated at cost, or fair market value at date of donation
for certain items donated. Depreciation has been computed on the straight—line method
over the estimated useful lives generally as follows:
Buildings — 10 to 50 years
Equipment — 5 to 15 years
i Vehicles — 4 years %
NOTE B-RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR
The financial statements for the year ended April 30, 1973, have been restated to 5
reflect the determination made during the year 1974 of the net realizable amount for Q
patient accounts receivable and amounts due from the Medicare-Medicaid programs, [
as summ.arized as follows: {
Excess of expenses over revenues, as previously
, reported for the year ended April 30, 1973 .............................................. $10,026 _;
I Increase in allowance for discounts, charity, i
` and bad debts to reflect net realizable ,
amount for patient accounts receivable .............................,.......,.............. 65,300 _`
Reduction of Medicare-Medicaid receivable to
final settlements with program intermediaries ........................................ 18,669 [
Excess of expenses over revenues, as restated, l
for the year ended April 30, 1973 ................................................................ $93,995 '_
Restricted funds at April 30, 1973 have been restated to reflect endowment invest-
ments in the amoimt of $170,510 that had previously been reported as Board-designated Q
unrestricted fimds. pa
NOTE C—MEDICARE, MEDICAID, ECONOMIC STABILIZATION PROGRAM A
AND LITIGATION _
At April 30, 1974 the Service participated in the Medicare—Medicaid programs ,
for eligible services provided through the Home Health Agency. Home Health Agency _§'
revenues are approximately 20% of total patient services. For the year ended April
30, 1973, the Service participated in the Medicare-Medicaid programs for services pro-
vided through the Home Health Agency and the Hyden Hospital. Operating revenues
for 1974 and 1973 include amounts estimated by management to be reimbursable for ‘
services covered by the programs under the cost reimbursement formulas in effect. Y
Audits of cost reports have been completed and settled through April 30, 1973.
QUARTERLY BULLETIN 11
, On May 11, 1973, the Hyden Hospital was terminated as a provider of services
under the federal Medicare and State Medicaid programs. The termination was a result
if of alleged inadequate safety precautions required under Medicare regulations at the
Hospital. The Service is currently appea.ling this decision to federal authorities. Legal
counsel for the Service cannot give an opinion as to the ultimate outcome of this
appeal. If a favorable determination is obtained by the Service for the year ended
April 30, 1974, substantial amounts may be recoverable from the Medicare-Medicaid
i‘ programs. No amounts have been renected in the financial statements for 1974 for
‘~ the potential recoveries. Such recoveries would be subject to lirnitations imposed by
the Economic Stabilization Program (which expired Apr·il 30, 1974) and which limits
* recoveries to certain cost and profit margin levels.
_: NOTE D—CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
{ At April 30, 1974, approximately $450,000 was required to complete the construc-
} tion of a 40 bed hospital at Hyden, Kentucky. Of this amount, approximately $237,000
,’ is being provided from a federal grant. The new hospital is designed to meet safety
{ standa.rds of the Medicare program and will replace the existing hospital structure.
NOTE E-RETIREMENT PLAN
Frontier Nursing Service has a retirement plan for regular full time employees
with three year·s of continuous service who are twenty-five years of age or more. The
i Corporatiocm’s policy is to fund pension costs accrued. Total retirement plan expense
{ for the year ended April 30, 1974 and April 30, 1973, was $12,899 and $11,501, respec-
; tively, which includes amortization of prior service costs over a period of 15 years.
L The actuarially computed value of vested benefits as of July 1, 1973 (date of last
{ actuarial valuation report) exceeded the total of the pension fund and balance sheet
i accruals by approximately $40,000.
i NOTE F-—1NVESTMENTS

for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investment income is ac-
, counted for on the cash basis which is not significantly different from the accrual
` method. Cost and approximate market values at April 30, 1974 and 1973, are sum-
