        <BadDebtFootnote>The Hospital reports patient accounts receivable for services rendered at net realizable amounts from government payers, managed care plans, patients and others. Amounts due from patients include both amounts due from fully uninsured patients and copayments and deductibles for which insured patients are responsible. 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. The Hospital provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from payers' inability to make payments on accounts. The Hospital estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts are considered delinquent, and subsequently written off as bad debts, based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the account, estimates it allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables. Bad Debt expenses of $ 11,008,307 included on Form 990, Part IX line 25, column A, were subtracted from total expenses for purposes of calculating the percentage in the column.</BadDebtFootnote>

        <PatientEducationAssistance>The patient is encouraged to apply for charity as early as possible in the account management process. Charity application and qualifications guidelines are given up front in registration. The self pay balances are sent to a Medicaid Eligibility Company, who screens patients from day 1 to day 60. The self pay balances are returned if the company is unable to reach the patient or the patient does not qualify. Self pay balances that are returned are sent to an early out company, who has our charity guidelines, if the patient expresses an inability to pay, they are referred to the hospital for screening. Once a completed application is received and approved, any account balances are adjusted according to the level of charity the patient has qualified for. If the account is with a collection agency, it is returned to the hospital.</PatientEducationAssistance>
