1.
Based on your response to prior comment one, it is still unclear
why
it is appropriate to estimate your contractual allowances using
the
reciprocal of the expected percentage that will be collected.
Based
on this and your previous response, it would appear that your
estimate of contractual allowances includes all amounts that you
do
not expect to collect, even if some of those amounts go
uncollected
for reasons other than contractual allowances.

Please clarify this for us and, in so doing, cite the specific
authoritative guidance that supports this.  In estimating amounts
that will not be collected, please justify why it is appropriate
for
you to apparently not distinguish between:  (a) contractual and
any
other billing adjustments, which apparently should have been
charged
against revenue, and (b) adjustments resulting from the inability
to
collect contracted amounts where collection had been reasonably
assured, which arguably should have been charged to bad debt
expense.

2. Please justify why it is appropriate to account for the final
settlements on a prospective basis, as described in your response
to
prior comment two.  In so doing, please cite the specific
authoritative guidance that supports not recognizing the final
settlements currently.  In addition, please note that the apparent
limited capabilities of your billing systems would not appear to
be
an appropriate justification for your accounting for the final
settlements.

Furthermore, please tell us the extent to which the final
settlements
result in you realizing less than the carrying amount of the
receivable and the extent to which you realize more.  Where you
realize less, please justify why not recognizing the difference
immediately upon final settlement complies with paragraphs 8, 22
and
23 of SFAS 5 and any other relevant guidance.  Finally, whether
you
realize less or more, please clarify how your net accounts
receivable
and revenue are not materially overstated or understated,
respectively.

3. Please tell us whether the change in the accounting estimate,
described in your response to prior comment five, was material.
If
so, please provide us disclosures that would have discussed the
impact of the change on your income statements, as recommended
under
paragraph 33 of APB 20.

      Please respond to these comments within 10 business days or
tell us when you will provide us with a response.  Please furnish
a
letter that keys your responses to our comments and provide the
requested information.  Detailed letters greatly facilitate our
review.  Please file your letter on EDGAR under the form type
label
CORRESP.
