Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | 2. Description of Business The Company engages in two lines of business: our urgent and primary care business, which we operate under the tradenames GoNow Doctors and Medac, and our ancillary network business. These lines of business are supported by a shared services function. On November 2, 2015, we commenced efforts to sell our legacy ancillary network business to our largest client and manager of the business, HealthSmart Preferred Care II, L.P. (“HealthSmart”) in order to continue our focus on our urgent and primary care business. Assuming we reach mutually agreeable terms with HealthSmart, we anticipate closing the transaction in 2016. Accordingly, we have concluded that the ancillary network business qualifies as discontinued operations and financial results for the ancillary network business are presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations, and the related asset and liability accounts are presented on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets as held for sale as of March 31, 2016. Amounts previously reported have been reclassified, as necessary, to conform to this presentation to allow for meaningful comparison of continuing operations. Refer to Note 5 – Discontinued Operations. In May 2014, we announced our entry into the urgent and primary care market. During the remainder of 2014, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we consummated five transactions resulting in our acquisition of ten urgent and primary care centers, located in Georgia (3), Florida (2), Alabama (3), and Virginia (2). In December 2015, we completed a key acquisition of urgent care assets comprising four sites in North Carolina. In January 2016, we closed one of our Georgia sites and on April 1, 2016, we sold the two Virginia centers. Our healthcare centers offer a wide array of services for non-life-threatening medical conditions. We strive to improve access to quality medical care by offering extended hours and weekend service primarily on a walk-in basis. Our centers offer a broad range of medical services that generally fall within the urgent care, primary care, family care, and occupational medicine classifications. Specifically, we offer non-life-threatening, out-patient medical care for the treatment of acute, episodic, and some chronic medical conditions. When hospitalization or specialty care is needed, referrals to appropriate providers are made. Patients typically visit our centers on a walk-in basis when their condition is not severe enough to warrant an emergency visit or when treatment by their primary care provider is inconvenient. We also attempt to capture follow-up, preventative and general primary care business after walk-in visits. The services provided at our centers include, but are not limited to, the following: · routine treatment of general medical problems, including colds, flu, ear infections, hypertension, asthma, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and other conditions typically treated by primary care providers; · treatment of injuries, such as simple fractures, dislocations, sprains, bruises, and cuts; · minor, non-emergent surgical procedures, including suturing of lacerations and removal of foreign bodies; · diagnostic tests, such as x-rays, electrocardiograms, complete blood counts, and urinalyses; and · occupational and industrial medical services, including drug testing, workers' compensation cases, and pre-employment physical examinations. Our centers are typically equipped with digital x-ray machines, electrocardiograph machines and basic laboratory equipment, and are generally staffed with a combination of licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical support staff, and administrative support staff. Our medical support staff includes licensed nurses, certified medical assistants, laboratory technicians, and registered radiographic technologists. |
