Receivables [Abstract] |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consists of the following (in millions):
| As of December 31,
| 2020 |  | 2019
Current: |  |  |
Patient accounts receivable | $ | 563.0 |  |  | $ | 498.7 |
Other accounts receivable | 9.8 |  |  | 7.4 |
| 572.8 |  |  | 506.1 |
Noncurrent patient accounts receivable | 123.8 |  |  | 152.1 |
Accounts receivable | $ | 696.6 |  |  | $ | 658.2 |
Because the resolution of claims that are part of Medicare audit programs can take several years, we review the patient receivables that are part of this adjudication process to determine their appropriate classification as either current or noncurrent. Amounts considered noncurrent are included in Other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Net Operating Revenues,” for additional information.
