Total receivables, net$1,237,230 $1,168,712 

In addition to the client receivables presented above, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $14 million and $17 million of non-current net client receivables, respectively, which are presented in "Other assets" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of our provision for expected credit losses is as follows:

Our estimates of expected credit losses for client receivables at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were primarily based on historical credit loss experience and adjustments for certain asset-specific risk characteristics (i.e. known client financial hardship or bankruptcy). Exposure to credit losses may increase if our clients are adversely affected by changes in healthcare laws; changes in reimbursement or payor models; economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions; disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; or other client-specific factors. Although we have historically not experienced significant credit losses, it is possible that there could be an adverse impact from potential adjustments to the carrying amount of client receivables as clients' cash flows are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic uncertainty, which may be material.

During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, we received total client cash collections of $2.90 billion and $2.66 billion, respectively.
