        <Explanation>THE HOSPITAL REPORTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES RENDERED AT NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYERS, PATIENTS AND OTHERS. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THE HOSPITAL BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYERS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT. BAD DEBT EXPENSE CONSISTS OF THOSE ACCOUNTS WHICH HAVE AGED TO 150 DAYS OLD. AT THIS POINT ACCOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE COLLECTED AND ARE WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT. BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE HEALTH CARE SERVICES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT TO THE FACILITY. IN EFFECT THESE SERVICES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE COMMUNITY.</Explanation>
