During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we increased our allowance for credit losses on our Accounts Receivables by $0.1 million as a result of the economic impact of COVID-19. Other receivables include supplier rebates, commissions due from third party insurance companies and perpetual care income receivables. We do not provide an allowance for credit losses for these receivables as we have historically not had any collectability issues nor do we expect any in the foreseeable future.
The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

As noted in Note 3, we acquired preneed cemetery receivables in connection with the funeral home and cemetery combination business in Lafayette, California acquired on January 3, 2020. We recorded an allowance for credit losses of $0.6 million on these acquired receivables ($0.3 million current portion shown above in Accounts Receivable, net and $0.3 million non-current portion shown below in Preneed Cemetery Receivables, net as noted in the respective allowance rollforward tables under Allowance Recorded at Acquisition). We accounted for the allowance for credit losses on these purchased financed assets using specific identification as these assets have a unique set of risk characteristics. For these specifically identified receivables, we determined the allowance to be 100% of the face value.
Bad debt expense for accounts receivable totaled $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
