Because the Health Center does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue. For classification of accounts as charity care, the Health Center uses the "exhaust all possible sources" of payment standard, as referenced in the Hill Burton program. Although the Health Center no longer has a Hill-Burton obligation, we continue to use this standard when determining if an account is eligible for charity care. The Health Center exercises sound business practices and makes reasonable efforts to collect accounts; therefore, any unpaid balance that the Health Center has exhausted their collection efforts on is subsequently classified as charity care. The total amount of charges foregone for services provided under the Health Center's charity care policies were approximately $1,412,802 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Total direct and indirect costs related to these foregone charges were $840,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 based on an average ratio of costs to gross charges.
