        <Explanation>Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Hospital analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each of its major payer sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payer sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Hospital analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts, if necessary. For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which includes both patients without insurance and patients with deductible and copayment balances due for which third-party coverage exists for part of the bill), the Hospital 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 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 off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST COMES FROM USING THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE PER THE AUDITED FINANCIALS FOR FY 2011 AND MULTIPLYING BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY WAS DETERMINED TO BE 25% OF THE AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>CURRENTLY, THE HOSPITAL'S DEBT COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS PROVISIONS ON THE COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WH0 ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL HAS SEPARATE POLICIES ADDRESSING QUALIFICATION FOR CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. The hospital makes reasonable efforts to qualify patients under the hospital's financial assistance policy and does not initiate extraordinary collections actions for patients who are known to qualify.</Explanation>

IF DETERMINED ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE, YOU MAY RECEIVE NEEDED SERVICES AT NO CHARGE OR AT A DISCOUNTED AMOUNT."
