(2) Includes the stroke of the uninsured bonus process implemented for
    Vanguard's Illinois hospitals in outcome Apr 1, 2009 and for its
    Phoenix and San Antonio hospitals in outcome Jul 1, 2009. Under this
    policy, Vanguard relates an uninsured bonus (calculated as a
    customary commission of sum revenues) at the time of studious billing
    and includes this bonus as a rebate to revenues. This uninsured
    bonus module relates to patients reception sanatorium services who
    have no word coverage and do not differently encounter Vanguard's charity
    caring guidelines. Vanguard available a sum of $51.9 million of
    uninsured discounts associated to the strident caring services shred during
    the 3 months finished Dec 31, 2009, $37.8 million of which
    associated to non-Medicaid tentative accounts which marked down revenues as a
    outcome of implementing this policy. Vanguard available a sum of $112.9
    million of uninsured discounts associated to the strident caring services
    shred during the 6 months finished Dec 31, 2009, $74.2 million of
    which associated to non-Medicaid tentative accounts which marked down revenues as
    a outcome of implementing this policy.

(3) Includes the stroke of Vanguard's accounting process shift for
    accounts tentative Medicaid qualification. Prior to the doing of
    the brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new uninsured bonus policy, Vanguard personal accounts pending
    Medicaid gift as Medicaid revenues (and Medicaid discharges)
    and available a contractual bonus for these accounts formed on the
    normal Medicaid payment rate for any specific state until
    gift was confirmed. Vanguard implemented a brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new Medicaid
    tentative process for those hospitals which have implemented the uninsured
    bonus process whereby Medicaid tentative accounts have been personal as
    self-pay revenues (and self-pay discharges) with an uninsured discount
    applied. The shift of these accounts is theme to Vanguard's
    stipend for puzzled accounts policy. For those accounts that
    subsequently validate for Medicaid coverage, the uninsured bonus is
