PART III, LINE 3: THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS DERIVED USING RATIO ANALYSIS OF PATIENT BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS PROCESSED THROUGH A PRESUMPTIVE QUALIFICATION MODEL.

A LARGE NUMBER OF PATIENTS DO NOT COOPERATE WITH THE ELIGIBILITY PROCESS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WHICH IS READILY AVAILABLE TO THEM.
