        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: PER THE DEKALB REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: "THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. MANAGEMENT ROUTINELY ASSESSES, IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS, THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON ITS ASSESSMENT OF THESE AND OTHER FACTORS BY PAYOR CATEGORY, AND ADJUSTS THE ALLOWANCE AND RELATED PROVISION ACCORDINGLY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, MANAGEMENT ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND A RELATED PROVISION, IF NECESSARY, FOR PAYORS WITH KNOWN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, WHICH INCLUDES PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL (PATIENT APPORTIONMENT), MANAGEMENT RECORDS A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICES ON THE BASIS OF PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR THE DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THE SYSTEM'S SELF-PAY WRITE-OFFS INCREASED $15,393,000 DURING 2012 FROM $46,803,000 IN FISCAL YEAR 2011 TO $62,196,000 IN FISCAL YEAR 2012. THE INCREASE WAS A RESULT OF DECREASES IN THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY CARE IN FISCAL YEAR 2012. THE SYSTEM HAS NOT CHANGED ITS CHARITY CARE OR UNINSURED DISCOUNT POLICIES DURING FISCAL YEARS 2012 OR 2011. AS IT RELATES TO THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, NOR DOES IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE-OFFS."</Explanation>
