Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. Many of these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the Company to incur significant fees and costs related to their defense.
The Company is also subject to or party to certain class actions and other litigation and claims relating to its operations or business practices, including network provider reimbursement, employment practices and privacy and data protection. The Company has recorded reserves that, in the opinion of management, are adequate to cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance in this regard.
6. Related Party Transactions
Historically, the Company has been managed and operated in the normal course of business consistent with other affiliates of the Parent. Accordingly, certain shared costs have been allocated to Specialty Health and reflected as expenses in the Combined Financial Statements. Management considers the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of the historical Parent expenses attributable to Specialty Health for purposes of the stand-alone financial statements. However, the expenses reflected in the Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if Specialty Health historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. In addition, the expenses reflected in the Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of related expenses that will be incurred in the future by Specialty Health.
Centralized Treasury
Treasury activities, including activities related to the Company, are centralized by the Parent such that net cash collections and disbursements are generally distributed to the Parent and reflected as net Parent investment. All of Specialty Health’s transactions with the Parent are considered to be financing transactions, which are presented as Net Transfers to Parent in the accompanying statements of cash flows.
General Corporate Overhead / Costs
The Combined Statements of Income include revenues and costs directly attributable to Specialty Health as well as an allocation of expenses related to centralized functions and services provided by our Parent. The allocable costs were primarily based on identification of cost centers specific to the Company’s operations and were allocated by direct labor costs incurred by Specialty Health compared to Magellan, and the Company’s proportionate share of Magellan’s full-time employees. These allocated costs are primarily related to corporate administrative expenses, and other corporate support services. The Company was allocated direct service costs and other operating expenses of $143.0 million and $172.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, from Magellan. In addition, the Company was attributed liabilities of $12.6 million and $14.2 million at December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, from Magellan. These liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s combined balance sheets.
Revenue
Certain of the Company’s revenue arrangements are related to contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business with Magellan. The Company provided services on an ASO basis to certain contracts that were part of Magellan’s MCC business. As services were provided on a non-risk ASO basis, there was no cost of care associated with the revenues. Magellan sold the MCC business to Molina Healthcare, Inc. effective as of December 31, 2020. Intercompany revenues during the year ended December 31, 2020 for the MCC business was $1.1 million.
Note Payable
In 2013, the Company executed a $150.0 million intercompany note agreement with a subsidiary of the Parent (the “Note”). The Note bore interest at a rate of the Prime Rate plus 1.5 percent. At December 31, 2019 the Note balance was $40.0 million. In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repaid $5.0 million of the Note. In December 2021, the Note was assigned by the Parent to the Company, effectively resulting in the cancellation of the Note agreement through a non-cash transaction.
7. Subsequent Events
On November 17, 2022, Magellan Health, Inc. and Magellan Healthcare, Inc. executed a definitive agreement to sell Magellan’s Specialty Health business to Evolent Health, Inc. (“Evolent”) (collectively the “Sale”). The closing of the Sale is subject to U.S. federal antitrust clearance, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Given MPT and MLIC no longer have any specialty business, the only legal entities included in the Sale are NIA and its non-dissolved subsidiaries. In addition to the Sale, Evolent and Centene are expanding Centene’s relationship with NIA and extending NIA’s contracts with Centene through 2027.
The Company has evaluated events of which it is aware occurring after December 31, 2021 through December 20, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events during this period other than the item described above.
