DAVITA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the calculation of
earnings per share assuming dilution includes conversion of the 5 5/8%
convertible subordinated notes, but does not include conversion of the 7%
convertible subordinated notes as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000, both the 7% convertible subordinated notes and
the 5 5/8% convertible subordinated notes were anti-dilutive and therefore not
included in the computation of earnings per share assuming dilution.
Shares associated with stock options withthat have exercise prices greater than
the average market price of shares outstanding during the period, which were
not included in the calculationcomputation of earnings per share assuming dilution, becauseas
they would have been anti-
dilutive. The stock options not included in the calculation totaled 2,207,367
and 10,428,517 shares at exercise prices ranging from $16.77 to $33.50 per
share and $4.23 to $36.13 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively. The calculation of earnings per share assuming
dilution includes the

3. Subsequent eventsDebt transactions
On April 6, 2001 the Company completed the saleissuance of $225,000 9 1/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes in a private offering. The Notes mature on April 15,
2011 and will be callable by the Company on or after April 15, 2006. Net
proceeds of $219,375 from the offering were used to pay down amounts
outstanding under the Company's then existingthen-existing senior credit facilities. In
August 2001 these notes were exchanged for a series of notes with identical
terms that had been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
On May 4, 2001 the Company completed a refinancing of its existing senior
credit facilities. Proceeds from this refinancing were used to pay down
$222,925, representing all outstanding amounts under the then-existing senior
credit facilities. The new credit facilities consist of a Term A loan of
$50,000, a Term B loan of $200,000 and a $150,000 undrawn revolving credit
facility. The starting interest rate for both the Term A and B loans was LIBOR
plus 2.75%, a decrease of 0.25% and 1.0%, respectively, from the previous term
loan rates. The Term A loan and revolver interest rates are subject to
increases or decreases based on changes in our leverage ratio. The new term
loan facilities are also subject to aggregate quarterly principal amortization
of $3,000 for the next five years. The entire facility is due in 2006 with an
automatic one year extension of the Term B loan if our $125,000 5 5/8%
subordinated convertible notes have been extended or converted by March 2006.
As a result of these refinancings,transactions, the write-off of deferred financing
costs and accelerated recognition of deferred swap liquidation gains
associated with the refinanced debt will beare reported as a net extraordinary gain
of $977 for the quarter endingended June 30, 2001.

associated with aged accounts receivable that had been written-off in 1999.
5. Contingencies
Health care providers'provider revenues may be subject to adjustment as a result of
(1) examination by government agencies or contractors, for which the
resolution of any matters raised may take extended periods of time to
finalize; (2) differing interpretations of government regulations by different
fiscal intermediaries; (3) differing opinions regarding a patient's medical
diagnosis or the medical necessity of services provided; and (4) retroactive
applications or interpretations of governmental requirements.
The Company's Florida-based laboratory subsidiary is the subject of a
third-party carrier review of its Medicare reimbursement claims. The carrier
has issued formal overpayment determinations in the amount of $5.6 million$5,600 for the
review period from January 1995 to April 1996, and $15 million$15,000 for the review
period from May 1996 to March 1998. The carrier has suspended all payments of
Medicare claims from this laboratory since May 1998. The carrier has also
determined that $16.1 million$16,100 of the suspended claims for the review period from
April 1998 to August 1999 and $11.6 million$11,600 of the suspended claims for the review
period from August 1999 to May 2000 were not properly supported by the
prescribing physicians' medical justification. The carrier has alleged that
99% of the tests the laboratory performed during the review period from
January 1995 to April 1996, 96% of the tests performed in the period from May
1996 to March 1998, 70% of the tests performed in the period from April 1998
to August 1999, and 72% of the tests performed in the period from August 1999
to May 2000 were not properly supported by the prescribing physicians' medical
justification.

DAVITA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
The Company is disputing the overpayment determinations and has provided
supporting documentation of its claims. The Company has initiated the process
of a formal review of each of the carrier's determinations. The first step in
this formal review process is a hearing before a hearing officer at the
carrier. The Company has received minimal responses from the carrier to its
repeated requests for clarification and information regarding the continuing
payment suspension. The hearing regarding the initial review period from
January 1995 to April 1996 was held in July 1999. In January 2000 the hearing
officer issued a decision upholding the overpayment determination of $5.6
million.$5,600.
The hearing regarding the second review period from May 1996 to March 1998 was
held in April 2000. In July 2000 the hearing officer issued a decision
upholding $14.2 million,$14,200, or substantially all of the overpayment determination. The
Company has filed appeals of both decisions to a federal administrative law
judge, andwho has moved to consolidateconsolidated the two appeals. At

In February 1999, our Florida-based laboratory subsidiary filed a complaint
against the carrier and HHS seeking a court order to lift the payment
suspension. In July 1999, the court dismissed our complaint because we had not
exhausted all administrative remedies, that is, the carrier review and
administrative law judge processes described above.receives this information.
In addition to the formal appeal process with a federal administrative law
judge, beginning in the third quarter of 1999 we sought a meeting with the
Department of Justice, or DOJ, to begin a process to resolve this matter. The
carrier had previously informed the local office of the DOJ and HHS of this
matter, and we had provided requested information to the DOJ. The Company met
with the DOJ in February 2001 at which time the DOJ requested additional
information, which the Company is providing.
Timing of the final resolution of this matter is highly uncertain, and
beyond the Company's control or influence. Beginning in the third quarter of
2000, the Company stopped recognizing Medicare revenue from this laboratory
until the uncertainties regarding both the timing of resolution and the
ultimate revenue valuations are at least substantially eliminated. The amount
of potential Medicare revenue not accrued beginning in the third quarter of
2000 was approximately $4 million$4,000 per quarter. We estimate that the potential cash
exposure as of March 31,June 30, 2001 is not more than $15 million$10,000 based on the carrier's
overpayment findings noted above. If this matter is resolved in a manner
adverse to the Company, the government could impose additional fines and
penalties, which could be substantial.
In February 2001, the Civil Division of the United States Attorney's Office
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania contacted us and requested that the
Company cooperate in a review of some of our historical practices, including
billing and other operating procedures and our financial relationships with
physicians. The Civil Division has requested that we provide a wide range of
information responding to the areas of review. The Civil Division has not
initiated any legal process or served any subpoena on the Company. The Civil
Division has indicated that it is not making any allegation of wrongdoing at
this time and that no criminal action against the Company or any individual is
contemplated. The Company is cooperating in this review. The inquiry appears
to be at an early stage. As it proceeds, the Civil Division could expand its
areas of concern. If a court determines there has been wrongdoing, the
penalties under applicable statutes could be substantial.
In addition to the foregoing, DaVita is subject to claims and suits in the
ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution
of these additional matters, whether the underlying claims are covered by
insurance or not, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
5.6. Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business
Combinations and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets which will be
effective July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively, for the Company.

DAVITA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS
142, amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets,
including any such intangibles recorded in past business combinations, will be
discontinued beginning January 1, 2002. In addition, goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded as a result of business
combinations completed during the six-month period ending December 31, 2001
will not be amortized.
Under the new standards, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
assets will be written down with a goodwill impairment charge against current
earnings whenever the recorded values exceed their fair values. As with
goodwill amortization, such goodwill charges would not directly affect cash
flows. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS
142 and assessing the impact of their adoption.

The Company's divestiture of its dialysis operations outside the
continental United States was substantially completed during 2000, reducing
the number of dialysis centers that we operate outside the continental United
States from 84 to two2 by the end of 2000. Because all operations outside the
continental United States have been divested with the exception of the pending
completion of the sale of two centers in Puerto Rico, the non-continental U.S.
operating results are excluded from the revenue and cost trends discussed
below.

Net operating revenues for the continental U.S. operations were $382$397
million for the firstsecond quarter of 2001, approximately 13%15% higher than in the
firstsecond quarter of 2000. Approximately half the increase in revenue10% was due to higher average revenue
per treatment.treatment and approximately 5% was due to the increase in the number of
treatments. The average dialysis revenue per treatment (excluding lab and
pharmacy revenuerevenues and management fee income) was $274$276 for the firstsecond quarter
of 2001, compared with $247$249 for the same period of 2000. The increase in the
average revenue per treatment was principally attributable to improvements in
revenue capture, billing and collections operations, and payor contracting,
and increased revenue associated with the administration of new higher-cost drugs
and the 1.2% increaseincreases in the Medicare composite reimbursement rate that became
effective on both January 1 and April 1, 2001. The
number of treatments in the first quarter of 2001 increased 3.7% over the same
quarter of 2000. Non-dialysis revenues were
approximately $8 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2001, approximately
$6$4 million lower than the second quarter of 2000 primarily due to reduced lab
revenues and reduced management fees resulting from the acquisition of eight
previously managed centers in the first quarter of 2000 due to the sale of our pharmacy in March 2000 and reduced lab
revenues.

Second quarter 2001 net operating revenues were approximately 3.5%3.7% higher
than in the fourthfirst quarter of 2000.2001. The number of treatments increased by 1%3.1%
in the firstsecond quarter. The increase in treatments due to acquisitions in the
first quarter of 2001 was offset by one less treatment day in the first
quarter of 2001 compared to the fourth quarter of 2000. Net dialysis revenue per treatment increased
approximately $8$2 from fourthfirst quarter 20002001 to firstsecond quarter of 2001,
or approximately 3%,principally attributable to the same factors
discussed above.Medicare rate increase that became effective
April 1, 2001.
Center operating expenses were approximately 67%68% of operating revenues for
continental U.S. operations in the firstsecond quarter of 2001, compared with 68%67%
in the fourthfirst quarter of 20002001 and 69%70% in the firstsecond quarter of 2000. On a per-
treatment basis, firstsecond quarter 2001 center operating expenses were
approximately $2 higher than in the prior quarter, and averaged approximately
$10 per treatment higher than in the firstsecond quarter of 2000. The higher
average cost per treatment was primarily attributable to higher labor and drug
costs, which were more than offset by the increased revenue per treatment.
General and administrative expense wasexpenses were approximately 8% of operating
revenues for continental U.S. operations in both the second and first quarterquarters
of 2001, and
the fourth quarter of 2000, compared withto 9% in the firstsecond quarter of 2000. The decrease from the
firstsecond quarter of 2000, measured as a percentage of revenue, was attributable
to the higher average revenue rate per treatment in the second and first
quarterquarters of 2001 and the fourth quarter of 2000.2001. In absolute dollars, general and administrative expenseexpenses for
the firstsecond quarter of 2001 waswere approximately 5%2% higher than in the fourthfirst
quarter, reflecting higher labor and infrastructure costs.
11
During the first quarterand second quarters of 2001, we realized cash recoveries
of approximately $16$16.0 and $8.9 million associated with aged accounts receivables reserved
in 1999, and1999. We recognized the cash recoveries as a reversal of bad debt expense.
At this time, we do not anticipate further collections of old accounts
receivable that would result in additional significant bad debt recoveries.
TheBefore considering these cash recoveries, the provision for uncollectible
accounts receivable
13
for the firstsecond quarter of 2001 was approximately 2% of operating revenues before considering the
recoveries of $16 million,
compared with approximately 3.5% for the same period for 2000. We anticipate
the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable will be generally in the
range of 2% to 3% over the long term.
Debt expense of $20$19 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2001 was
approximately $13$16 million lower than the same period of 2000 due to lower
effective interest rates and reduced debt balances.
Based on current conditions and recent experience, our current projections
are for normal operating earnings before depreciation and amortization, debt
expense and taxes to be in the range of $320$340 million to $360 million for the
year 2001, excluding the $16 millioncash recoveries of bad debt recoveries in the first
quarter.previously reserved accounts
receivables discussed above. These projections assume minimal acquisitions, anthe continuation of
current cost growth trends and current trends in the internal annual growth
rate in the number of dialysis treatments, minimal acquisitions, no
significant changes in billing practices, continued non-recognition of
approximately 3% to 4%,
limited opportunities to improve the mix ofMedicare lab revenue and reimbursement rates for non-
Medicare treatments, and underlying cost growth trends.no significant settlement or impairment losses. These
and other underlying assumptions involve significant risks and uncertainties,
and actual results may vary significantly from these current projections.
Additionally, the renegotiation or restructuring of unfavorable managed care
contracts, medical director agreements or other arrangements may result in
future impairment or other charges.
We undertake no duty to update these projections,
whether due to changes in current or expected trends, underlying market
conditions, decisions of the United States Attorney's Office, the Department
of Justice or the Department of Health and Human Services in any pending or
future review of our business or otherwise.
Liquidity and capital resources
Cash flow from operations during the first quarterhalf of 2001 amounted to $58$135
million and totalthe reduction in long-term debt was reduced by $37totaled $26 million. The positive
cash flow included $66$131 million from earnings adjusted for non-cash items.
Non-operating cash outflows included acquisitions of dialysis centers for $51
million (offset by liquidation of investments in third-party dialysis
operations) and $7$19 million in capital asset expenditures.
In April 2001, $225 million of 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes were
sold.issued. The net proceeds of this offering were used to pay down amounts
outstanding under our then-existing senior credit facilities. In August these
notes were exchanged for a series of notes with identical terms that had been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
On May 4, 2001 the Company completed a refinancing of its senior credit
facilities. The new financing includes a Term A loan of $50 million, a Term B
loan of $200 million and a $150 million undrawn revolving credit facility with $150 million of availability, none of which is currently drawn.facility. The

New accounting pronouncements
In July 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business
Combinations and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets which will be
effective July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively, for the quarter.
12Company.
SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS
142, amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets,
including any such intangibles recorded in past business combinations, will be
discontinued beginning January 1, 2002. In addition, goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded as a result of business
combinations completed during the six-month period ending December 31, 2001
will not be amortized.
14
Under the new standards, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
assets will be written down with a goodwill impairment charge against current
earnings whenever the recorded values exceed their fair values. As with
goodwill amortization, such goodwill charges would not directly affect cash
flows. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 and
assessing the impact of their adoption.

RISK FACTORS
This Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements about
our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future. These
forward-looking statements include statements regarding our expectations for
treatment growth rates, revenue per treatment, expense growth, levels of the
provision for uncollectible accounts receivable, earnings before depreciation
and amortization, debt expense and taxes, and capital expenditures. We base
our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and
we have no current intention to update these statements, whether as a result
of changes in underlying factors, new information, future events or other
developments.
These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties,
including risks resulting from economic and market risk exposureconditions, the regulatory
environment in which we operate, competitive activities and other business
conditions. Our actual results may differ materially from results anticipated
in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that reportedcould cause actual
results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include those
set forth below. The risks discussed below are not the only ones facing our
business.
If the percentage of our patients paying at or near our list prices declines,
then our revenues, cash flows and net income would be substantially reduced.
Approximately 41% of our continental U.S. dialysis revenues in 1999 and 42%
in both 2000 and the first six months of 2001 were generated from patients who
had private payors as the primary payor. A minority of these patients have
insurance policies that reimburse us at or near our list prices, which are
significantly higher than Medicare rates. The majority of these patients have
insurance policies that reimburse us at rates that are below our list prices
but, in most cases, higher than Medicare rates. We believe that pressure from
private payors to decrease the rates at which they pay us may increase. If the
percentage of patients who have insurance that pays us at or near our list
prices decreases significantly, it would have an adverse effect on our
revenues, cash flows and net income.
If we are unable to renegotiate material contracts with managed care plans on
acceptable terms, we may experience a decline in same center growth.
We have contracts with some large managed care plans that include
unfavorable terms. Although we are attempting to renegotiate the terms of
these contracts, we cannot predict whether we will reach agreement on new
terms or whether we will renew these contracts. As a result, we may lose
numerous patients of these managed care plans and experience a decline in our
Form 10-K/Asame center growth, which will negatively impact our revenues.
Future declines, or the lack of further increases, in Medicare reimbursement
rates would reduce our net income and cash flows.
Approximately 54% of our continental U.S. dialysis revenues in 1999 and 53%
in both 2000 and the first six months of 2001 were generated from patients who
had Medicare as their primary payor. The Medicare ESRD program reimburses us
for dialysis and ancillary services at fixed rates. Unlike many other Medicare
programs, the Medicare ESRD program does not provide for periodic inflation
increases in reimbursement rates. These rates have declined over 70% in real
dollars since 1972. Congress recently enacted two separate increases of 1.2%
to the Medicare composite reimbursement rate for dialysis effective January 1,
2000 and January 1, 2001. An additional 1.2% increase became effective April
1, 2001, plus an adjustment factor designed to provide the benefits of the
increase as if it had become effective on January 1, 2001. These were the
first increases in the composite rate since 1991 and are significantly less
than the cumulative rate of inflation since 1991. In addition, the Medicare
Payment Advisory Commission has recommended to Congress that there be no
increase in the composite rate for 2002. Increases in operating costs that are
subject to inflation, such as labor and supply costs, have occurred and are
expected to continue to occur without a compensating increase in reimbursement
rates.
16
We cannot predict the nature or extent of future rate changes, if any. To the
extent these rates are not adjusted to keep pace with inflation, our net
income and cash flows would be adversely affected.
Future changes in the structure of, and reimbursement rates under, the
Medicare ESRD program could substantially reduce our net income and cash
flows.
In legislation enacted in December 2000, Congress mandated government
studies on whether:
. The Medicare composite rate for dialysis should be modified to include
an annual inflation increase--study due July 2002;
. The Medicare composite rate for dialysis should be modified to include
additional services, such as laboratory and other diagnostic tests and
the administration of EPO and other pharmaceuticals, in the composite
rate--study due July 2002; and
. Reimbursement for many outpatient prescription drugs that we administer
to dialysis patients should be reduced from the current rate of 95% of
the average wholesale price--study due September 2001.
If Medicare began to include in its composite reimbursement rate any
ancillary services that it currently reimburses separately, our revenue would
decrease to the extent there was not a corresponding increase in that
composite rate. In particular, Medicare revenue from EPO was approximately 13%
of our net revenue in 1999, 2000 and the first six months of 2001. If EPO were
included in the composite rate, and if the composite rate were not increased
sufficiently, our revenue would decrease substantially. Reductions in current
reimbursement rates for EPO or other outpatient prescription drugs would also
reduce our revenue.
If a significant number of physicians were to cease referring patients to our
dialysis centers, whether due to regulatory or other reasons, our revenue and
earnings would decline.
If a significant number of physicians stop referring patients to our
centers, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and earnings.
Many physicians prefer to have their patients treated at centers where they or
other members of their practice supervise the overall care provided as medical
directors of the centers. As a result, the primary referral source for our
centers is typically the physician or physician group providing medical
director services to the center. If a medical director agreement terminates,
whether before or at the end of its term, it may negatively impact the former
medical director's decision to treat his or her patients at our centers.
Medical directors contract with us for fixed periods, generally five to ten
years. Medical directors have no obligation to extend their agreements with
us. The agreements with medical directors at 48 centers are at risk of
expiring on or before December 31, 2002. This includes agreements with terms
expiring on or before December 31, 2002 and those with automatic renewal terms
that will expire on or before December 31, 2002 if we or the medical director
elect not to renew the agreement.
We also may take actions to restructure existing relationships or take
positions in negotiating extensions of relationships in order to assure
compliance with anti-kickback and similar laws. These actions could negatively
impact physicians' decisions to extend their medical director agreements with
us. For example, we have recalled stock options and we require monthly
statements from our medical directors certifying that they have performed
their contractual obligations. To our knowledge, we are the only major
dialysis provider to have done this. In addition, if the terms of an existing
agreement were found to violate applicable laws, we may not be successful in
restructuring the relationship, which could lead to the early termination of
the agreement.
If the current shortage of skilled clinical personnel or our high level of
personnel turnover continues, we may experience disruptions in our business
operations and increases in operating expenses.
We are experiencing difficulties in hiring nurses and increased labor costs
due to a nationwide shortage of skilled clinical personnel. This shortage
limits our ability to expand our operations. We also have a high personnel
turnover rate in our dialysis centers and central billing offices. Turnover
has been the highest among
17
our reuse technicians, patient care technicians and unit secretaries. Recent
efforts to reduce this turnover may not succeed. If we are not successful, or
if we are unable to hire skilled clinical personnel when needed, our
operations and our same center growth will be negatively impacted.
Adverse developments with respect to EPO could materially reduce our net
income and cash flows and affect our ability to care for our patients.
Amgen is the sole supplier of EPO and may unilaterally decide to increase
its price for EPO. For example, Amgen unilaterally increased its base price
for EPO by 3.9% effective March 2000 and by an additional 3.9% effective May
2001. We expect Amgen to continue to increase its base price from time to
time. Also, we cannot predict whether we will continue to receive the same
discount structure for EPO that we currently receive, or whether we will
continue to achieve the same levels of discounts within that structure as we
have historically achieved. In addition, Amgen is developing a new product,
NESP, that may replace EPO or reduce its use. We cannot predict when NESP will
be introduced to the dialysis market, nor what its cost and reimbursement
structure will be. Increases in the cost of EPO and the introduction of NESP
could have a material adverse effect on our net income and cash flows.
Changes in clinical practices and reimbursement rates or rules for EPO and
other drugs could substantially reduce our revenue and earnings.
The administration of EPO and other drugs accounted for approximately 32%
of our net operating revenue in 1999, 35% in 2000 and 38% in the first six
months of 2001. Changes in physician practice patterns and accepted clinical
practices, changes in private and governmental reimbursement rates and rules,
the introduction of new drugs and the conversion to alternate types of
administration, for example from intravenous administration to subcutaneous or
oral administration, that may also result in lower or less frequent dosages,
could reduce our revenues and earnings from the administration of EPO and
other drugs.
If we fail to adhere to all of the complex government regulations that apply
to our business, we could suffer severe consequences that would substantially
reduce our revenue and earnings.
Our dialysis operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local
government regulations, including Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rules
and regulations and federal and state anti-kickback laws. The regulatory
scrutiny of healthcare providers, including dialysis providers, has increased
significantly in recent years. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.September 30, 2000,
the DOJ announced total recoveries of $840 million from healthcare civil fraud
cases, including a $486 million settlement with one of our competitors as a
result of an OIG and DOJ investigation into some of its business practices. In
addition, the frequency and intensity of Medicare certification surveys and
inspections of dialysis centers has markedly increased over the last year,
consistent with recommendations of the OIG.
We endeavor to comply with all of the requirements for receiving Medicare
and Medicaid reimbursement and to structure all of our relationships with
referring physicians to comply with the anti-kickback laws; however, the laws
and regulations in this area are complex and subject to varying
interpretations. In addition, our historic dependence on manual processes that
vary widely across our network of dialysis centers exposes us to greater risk
of errors in billing and other business processes.
If any of our operations are found to violate these or other government
regulations, we could suffer severe consequences, including:
. Mandated practice changes that significantly increase operating
expenses;
. Suspension of payments from government reimbursement programs;
. Refunds of amounts received in violation of law or applicable
reimbursement program requirements;
18
. Loss of required government certifications or exclusion from government
reimbursement programs, such as the Medicare ESRD program and Medicaid
programs;
. Loss of licenses required to operate healthcare facilities in some of
the states in which we operate; and
. Fines or monetary penalties for anti-kickback law violations, submission
of false claims or other failures to meet reimbursement program
requirements.
The pending federal review of some of our historical practices and third-party
carrier review of our laboratory subsidiary could result in substantial
penalties against us.
We are voluntarily cooperating with the Civil Division of the United States
Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in a review of some
of our historical practices, including billing and other operating procedures
and our financial relationships with physicians. In addition, our Florida-
based laboratory subsidiary is the subject of a third-party carrier review of
claims it has submitted for Medicare reimbursement. All further Medicare
payments to this laboratory were suspended in May 1998, and the DOJ is also
reviewing the situation. We are unable to determine when these matters will be
resolved, whether any additional areas of inquiry will be opened or any
outcome of these matters, financial or otherwise. Any negative findings could
result in substantial financial penalties against us and exclusion from future
participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Our rollout of new information technology systems will significantly disrupt
our billing and collection activity, may not work as planned and could have a
negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
We intend to roll out new information technology systems and new processes
in each of our dialysis centers over the next few years. It is likely that
this rollout will disrupt our billing and collection activity and may cause
other disruptions to our business operations, which may negatively impact our
cash flows. Also, the new information systems may not work as planned or
improve our billing and collection processes. If they do not, we may have to
spend substantial amounts to enhance or replace these systems.
