My last question is this. You have an allowance for doubtful accounts of 26.1%. Is that an acceptable risk allowance? Is it a benchmark that is used?

The reason I ask this is that hospitals never say what their risk is. They say 10 debts are allowable. What is your benchmark for allowance for doubtful accounts, considering the size of this agency?
