        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: See Note 2A (page 7) of the audited financial statements regarding the allowance for uncollectible accounts.Part III, Line 2: The Hospital's bad debt at cost was determined by applying an overall ratio of cost to charges. Part III, Line 3: West Central Kansas Association, Inc. is unable to determine the amount of bad debt expense attributable to patients eligible under its charity care policy for the year covered by this return. Suggested methods for estimation were either not in place or proved to be unreliable. For example, the number of financial assistance applications distributed but not returned was not tracked. Using demographic data to estimate an amount did not provide reasonable results. Undoubtedly, there is bad debt expense attributed to patients who meet charity care guidelines. However, paperwork needed for approval of charity care was not returned or tracked. Rather than provide an estimate that can't be substantiated, West Central Kansas Association, Inc. has chosen to report zero dollars as bad debt expense attributable to charity care patients.</Explanation>
