Basis of Presentation |
|
Effective April 4, 2012, Medical Billing Assistance, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Medical Billing”), merged with and into the Company. The effect of the merger was that Medical Billing reincorporated from Colorado to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Company is deemed to be the successor issuer of Medical Billing under Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). |
|
As a result of the Reincorporation, the Company changed its name to First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and its shares underwent an effective four-for-one reverse split. Other than the foregoing, the Reincorporation did not result in any change in the business, management, fiscal year, accounting, and location of the principal executive offices, assets or liabilities of the Company. |
|
On April 2, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of First Choice Medical Group of Brevard, LLC (“First Choice – Brevard”), pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Closing Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Company has been managing the practice of First Choice – Brevard since November 1, 2011, pursuant to a Management Services Agreement. |
|
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries FCID Holdings, Inc., MTMC of Melbourne, Inc., Marina Towers, LLC, FCID Medical Inc. and First Choice - Brevard. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| | |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. |
|
ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing ASC 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant. |
|
The Company recognizes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 954-310, “Health Care Entities” (“ASC 954-310”), significant patient service revenue at the time the services are rendered, even though it does not assess the patient’s ability to pay. Therefore, The Company’s interim and annual periods reports disclose both, its policy for assessing and disclosing the timing and amount of uncollectable patient service revenue recognized as doubtful. Qualitative and quantitative information about significant changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts related to patient accounts receivable are disclosed in the Company’s reports. These estimates are based upon the past history and identified trends for each of our Payers. |
|
Patient Service Revenue |
|
The Company recognizes patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients who have third-party payer coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services provided. For uninsured or self-pay patients that do not qualify for charity care, the Company recognizes revenue on the basis of its standard rates for services provided (or on the basis of discounted rates, if negotiated or provided by policy). On the basis of historical experience, a portion of the Company’s patient service revenue may be potentially uncollectible due to patients who are unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided or the portion of their bill for which they are responsible. Thus, the Company records a provision for bad debts related to potentially uncollectible patient service revenue in the period the services are provided. |
|
Rental Revenue |
|
FCID Holdings, Inc. has one real estate holding, Marina Towers, LLC, a 78,000 square foot, Class A, six-story building located on the Indian River in Melbourne, Florida. In addition to housing our corporate headquarters and First Choice-Brevard, the building, which averages 95% annual occupancy, also leases approximately 55,000 square feet of commercial office space to third party tenants. The Company recognizes rental revenue associated with the period of time facility is leased at the contractual lease rates (or on the basis of discounted rates, if negotiated). |
|
| | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |

| | |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Concentrations of Credit Risk |
|
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable.

The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management. |
| | |
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Accounts Receivable |
|
Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts net of doubtful accounts. The Company analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each major payer sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payer sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. |
|
| · | Rental receivables. Accounts receivables from rental activities are periodically evaluated for collectability in determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful account provision for bad debts and provision of bad debts. |
|
| · | Patient receivables. Accounts receivables from services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Company analyzes contractually due amounts and provides a provision for bad debts, if necessary. The Company records a provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of past experience or when indications are the patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted, is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. |
|
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s provision for bad debts was $726,996 and $361,284, respectively. |

Patents [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Patents |
|
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The Company’s intangible assets with finite lives are patent costs, which are amortized over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. These patent costs were acquired on September 7, 2013 by the issuance of 636,666 shares of the Company’s common stock to a related party. The shares of common stock were valued at $286,500, which was estimated to be approximately the fair value of the patent acquired and did not materially differ from the fair value of the common stock. The patent costs are amortized over its expected useful life of 15 years. The amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $14,325. Accumulated amortization of patent costs was $14,325 and $-0- at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. |
| | |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Property and Equipment |
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years. |
| | |
Capitalized Financing Cost [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Capitalized Financing Costs |
|
Capitalized financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with obtaining the debt financing. These costs are amortized ratably and charged to financing expenses over the term of the related debt. The amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $20,685 and $62,057, respectively; and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $22,802 and $51,477, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $210,684 and $133,812 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. |
| | |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Segment Information |
|
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic “Segment Reporting” 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to the Company’s two principal operating segments (see Note 10 – Segment Information). |
| | |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and are considered immaterial. |

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Net Loss Per Share |
|
The Company accounts for net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260-10”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS. |
|
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effects of potentially issuable shares of common stock such as those related to the Company’s issued convertible debt, warrants and stock options (calculated using the treasury stock method). Fully diluted shares outstanding were 23,594,546 and 15,628,755 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and 20,843,589 and 15,217,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the arms-length private placement transaction nearest the measurement date (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no non-employee options outstanding to purchase shares of common stock. |
| | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Fair Value |
|
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. |
|
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations nor cash flows. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
