PART III, LINE 4:	BECAUSE THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS WAS DISCLOSED SEPARATELY AS AN EXPENSE ON THE INCOME STATEMENT, NO FOOTNOTE WAS PREPARED TO DESCRIBE BAD DEBT. AN ACCOUNT WILL BE CLASSIFIED AS BAD DEBT WHEN IT IS PLACED WITH A COLLECTION AGENCY.

THE HOSPITAL COMPLETES A SERIES OF DUE DILIGENCE STEPS WHICH INCLUDE VERIFICATION OF ALL FINANCIAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THE PATIENT, INCLUDING PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE, PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, AND LEGAL SETTLEMENTS. ONCE IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT THE PATIENT DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT INCOME TO COVER THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE FOR RECEIVED MEDICAL CARE AND THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND APPROVED, THE REMAINING BALANCE IS ADJUSTED TO $0.
