Segment Reporting
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve disclosure of segment information so that investors can better understand an entity’s overall performance. The ASU requires entities to quantitatively disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker for each reportable segment, as well as the amount of other segment items for each reportable segment and a description of what the other segment items are comprised. Disclosure of multiple measures of profit or loss will be permitted by the ASU.
The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2023, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024; however, early adoption is permitted. The ASU is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that ASU 2023-07 will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU includes enhanced requirements on the rate reconciliation, including specific categories that must be disclosed, and provides a threshold over which reconciling items must be disclosed. The amendments in the update also require annual disclosure of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as any individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is greater than 5% of total income taxes paid.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024; however early adoption is permitted. The ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have to the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Leases
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which requires companies to amortize leasehold improvements associated with related party leases under common control over the useful life of the leasehold improvement to the common control group. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The ASU can either be applied prospectively or retrospectively.
The Company adopted this ASU using the prospective method of transition on January 1, 2024. There was not a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Credit Risk Concentrations Credit Risk Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances and accounts receivable. The Company’s excess cash is held with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit to its patients, most of whom reside in the service area of the Company’s facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements.
Because of the diversity in the Company’s non-governmental third-party payor base, as well as their geographic dispersion, accounts receivable due from the Medicare program represent the Company’s only significant concentration of credit risk.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
The ownership interests held by outside parties in subsidiaries, which include limited liability companies and limited partnerships, controlled by the Company are classified as non-controlling interests. Some of the Company’s non-controlling ownership interests consist of outside parties that have certain redemption rights that, if exercised, require the Company to purchase the parties’ ownership interests. These interests are classified and reported as redeemable non-controlling interests and have been adjusted to their redemption values, after the attribution of net income or loss.
Variable Interest Entities Variable Interest Entities
Certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts the Company from owning medical practices which directly employ physicians or therapists and from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians and therapists. In these states, the Company enters into long-term management agreements with medical practices that are owned by licensed physicians or therapists, which, in turn, employ or contract with physicians or therapists who provide professional medical services. The management agreements provide for the Company to direct the transfer of ownership of the medical practices. Based on the provisions of the management agreements, the medical practices are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
