        <Explanation>Part I, Line 7, Column (f): The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 16147197.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: Bad debt expense is described in the consolidated financial statements as follows: Patient accounts receivable are carried at the original charge less an estimate made for doubtful or uncollectible accounts. The allowance is based upon a review of the outstanding balances aged by financial class. Management uses collection percentages based upon historical collection experience to determine collectibility. Management also reviews troubled, aged accounts to determine collection potential. Patient accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded as a reduction to bad debt expense when received.The amount of patient charges written off reported on line 2 represents amounts that were actually billed to patients, less any payments subsequently received. For example, if an uninsured patient received the 20% uninsured discount and subsequently made only partial payment, the amount written off would be the discounted amount less the subsequent payment.</Explanation>
