Of this, $219,000 is billed to patients, representing their insurance deductibles and copayments. The balance is billed to third-party payors, including insurance companies and government health care agencies. St. Joseph’s estimates that 20 percent of these third-party payor charges will be deducted by contractual adjustment. The hospital’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Required: Prepare the journal entries for December 2023. Assume 15 percent of the amounts billed to patients will be reduced through implicit price adjustments. Prepare the journal entries for 2024 assuming the following: $107,000 is collected from the patients during the year, and $10,300 of price adjustments are granted to individuals. Actual contractual adjustments total $168,000.
