In evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable, the Health Center analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each of its major payor sources to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with self pay patients, the Health Center records a significant provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill that is self pay.</ExplanationTxt>
