THE MEDICAL CENTER 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 MEDICAL CENTER 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.
