        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: 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 REALTED 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 WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING 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, 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 ON 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. BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 IS RECORDED AT GROSS PATIENT CHARGES LESS ANY PAYMENTS AND DISCOUNTS, INCLUDING CHARITY. THE BAD DEBT COST ON PART III, LINE 2 IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE BY THE RATIO OF TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSE TO TOTAL GROSS PATIENT CHARGES.</Explanation>
