    Many medical organizations with average patient accounts receivable that are greater than a specified amount, not including the allowance, must compute and record an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on their balance sheet. This accounts receivable balance should be re-evaluated on an annual basis to determine reporting status. Often, it is not known which specific accounts receivable invoices will be uncollectible. An allowance is therefore established to estimate the value of those receivables believed to be uncollectible. This entry should be “recorded so the income statement and balance sheet are fairly stated at the amount expected to be collected in receivables, thus satisfying the matching principle. The entry creates a contra accounts receivable balance. When netted against the gross total of accounts receivable, the true value of the receivables is reported” (FMS,…

    When it comes to preparing journal entries, there are different methods that are used with accounts receivable and bad debts such as the percentage of sales and the percentage of receivable methods. The percentage of sales estimates what percentage of credit sales will be uncollectible. This percentage is based on past experience and projected credit policy. The company applies this percentage to either the credit sales or the net credit sales of that current year. The percentage of receivables estimates what percentage of receivables will result in losses from the uncollectible accounts. The company uses an aging schedule in which classifies customer balances by the length of time they have been unpaid. After the company arranges the accounts by age, it determines the expected bad debt losses. The longer a receivable is past due, the less likely that it will be collected.…
