Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote
Patient accounts receivable are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at net realizable value based on certain assumptions. In evaluating the collectability of patient accounts receivable, BHSET analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each of its major payor sources of revenue to estimate the net realizable value. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the net realizable value is based on the estimated contractual reimbursement percentages, which is based on current contract prices or historical claims paid data by payor. For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which includes both patients without insurance and patients with deductible and copayment balances due for which third-party coverage exists for part of the bill), the net realizable value is determined using estimates of historical collection experience. These estimates are adjusted for recoveries and any anticipated changes in trends, including significant changes in payor mix, economic conditions or trends in federal and state governmental health care coverage.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit methodology for determining medicare costs
TREATMENT OF MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS IT IS THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT REIMBURSED BY THE MEDICARE PROGRAM.
