It's important to note that we do not actively pursue the collection of amounts deemed to qualify as charity care, and therefore, these amounts are not recorded as revenue.To assess accounts for charity care classification, the Health Center employs the "exhaust all possible sources" of payment standard, as originally outlined in the Hill Burton program. Despite no longer being under a Hill-Burton obligation, we continue to apply this standard to determine account eligibility for charity care.Our Health Center consistently practices sound business principles and diligently strives to collect outstanding account balances. Consequently, any unpaid balances on which the Health Center has exhausted collection efforts are subsequently categorized as charity care. For the year ending on December 31, 2024, the total charges foregone for services provided under our charity care policies amounted to approximately $1,082,000. Moreover, the total direct and indirect costs associated with these foregone charges for the year ending on December 31, 2024, was calculated at $574,000, based on an average ratio of costs to gross charges.
