MEDAC HEALTH SERVICES, P.A.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2015
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Medac Health Services, P.A. (the “Company”) provides urgent healthcare services through four locations in North Carolina. The Company also provides occupational healthcare, workers' compensation management services, and outsourced staffing services.
The accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the prevailing practices within the healthcare industry. The significant accounting policies used in preparing and presenting the financial statements are summarized below.
On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with ACSH Medical Management, LLC (“ACSH”) to sell significantly all of the assets of the Company to ACSH for $5,600,000. Consummation of the transaction is subject to ACSH receiving financing. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company considers its most significant estimates to be the collectability of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all depository accounts at financial institutions to be cash and cash equivalents. At various times during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company maintained balances in excess of balances insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Patient Accounts Receivable, Net
Patient accounts receivable consist of amounts due from insurance companies and patients in the Wilmington, North Carolina area. The Company generally does not require collateral with the extension of credit; as such, the majority of its receivables are unsecured. Patient accounts receivable are recorded net of expected contractual adjustments and an allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of collectability, current economic conditions, and prior experience. The Company determines if patient accounts receivable are past-due based on the service date; however, the Company does not charge interest on past-due accounts. The Company charges off patient accounts receivable if management considers the collection of the outstanding balances to be doubtful.
While management uses available information in estimating the Company's allowances for contractual adjustments and doubtful accounts, changes in the reimbursable contract rates and the composition of the patient treatments could result in further changes in the carrying amounts of patient receivables. As such, it is reasonably possible that the estimated patient receivables may change materially in the near term. The amount of the change that is reasonably possible, however, cannot be estimated.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for property and equipment which substantially increase the useful lives or values of existing assets are capitalized and subsequently depreciated. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
