Reporting method can meet new AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) guidelines.
Guidelines contained in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's (AICPA's) new healthcare audit guide require some hospitals to revise systems for compiling financial statements on accounts receivable and revenue. An accounting method can be devised to identify financial responsibility as soon as possible after discharge, record amounts to be written off, and, through an analysis of closed accounts, estimate the collection process on accounts for which insufficient information is available.
