| Organization and Summary of Accounting Policies | Organization and Summary of Accounting Policies Organization Surgery Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acting through its subsidiaries, owns and operates a national network of surgical facilities and ancillary services. The surgical facilities, which include ambulatory surgery centers ("ASCs") and surgical hospitals, primarily provide non-emergency surgical procedures across many specialties, including, among others, gastroenterology, general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics and pain management. The Company's surgical hospitals also provide services such as diagnostic imaging, laboratory, obstetrics, oncology, pharmacy, physical therapy and wound care. Ancillary services are comprised of a diagnostic laboratory, multi-specialty physician practices, urgent care facilities, anesthesia services and optical services. Unless the context otherwise indicates, Surgery Partners, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as "Surgery Partners," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company." As of June 30, 2019 , the Company owned or operated a portfolio of 128 surgical facilities, comprised of 113 ASCs and 15 surgical hospitals in 31 states. The Company owns these facilities in partnership with physicians and, in some cases, healthcare systems in the markets and communities it serves. The Company owned a majority interest in 85 of the surgical facilities and consolidated 107 of these facilities for financial reporting purposes. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 . The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as interests in partnerships and limited liability companies controlled by the Company through its ownership of a majority voting interest or other rights granted to the Company by contract to manage and control the affiliate's business. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Examples include, but are not limited to, estimates of accounts receivable allowances, professional and general liabilities and the estimate of deferred tax assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Variable Interest Entities The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of variable interest entities ("VIE") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidation. The Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact a VIEs economic performance. Additionally, the Company would absorb the majority of the expected losses from any of these entities should such expected losses occur. As of June 30, 2019, the consolidated VIEs include four surgical facilities, three anesthesia practices and three physician practices. The total assets (excluding goodwill and intangible assets, net) of the consolidated VIEs included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , were $24.8 million and $11.2 million , respectively, and the total liabilities of the consolidated VIEs were $17.2 million and $3.6 million , respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability. The Company uses fair value measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable (Level 2), or unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions (Level 3), depending on the nature of the item being valued. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted invested assets and accounts payable approximate their fair values under Level 3 calculations. A summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's long-term debt follows (in millions): Carrying Amount Fair Value June 30, December 31, June 30, December 31, Term Loan $ 1,440.8 $ 1,447.9 $ 1,386.8 $ 1,382.8 Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 $ — $ 406.7 $ — $ 407.2 Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 $ 370.0 $ 370.0 $ 324.7 $ 320.5 Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027 $ 430.0 $ — $ 427.9 $ — The fair values in the table above were based on a Level 2 inputs using quoted prices for identical liabilities in inactive markets. The carrying amounts related to the Company's other long-term debt obligations, including finance lease obligations, approximate their fair values under Level 3 calculations. The Company has entered into certain interest rate swap agreements (see Note 6. "Derivatives and Hedging Activities"). The fair value of these derivative instruments was $50.7 million and $22.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, and was included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments was based on a quoted market price, or a Level 2 computation. The Company maintains a supplemental executive retirement savings plan (the "SERP") for certain executive officers. The SERP is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for eligible executive officers and other key employees of the Company that allows participants to defer portions of their compensation. The fair value of the SERP assets and liabilities were based on quoted market prices, or Level 1 computations. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the fair value of both the assets and liabilities in the SERP were $1.0 million and $1.4 million , respectively, and were included in other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenues The Company's revenues generally relate to contracts with patients in which the performance obligations are to provide healthcare services. The Company recognizes revenues in the period in which our obligations to provide health care services are satisfied and reports the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to. The Company's performance obligations are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payor (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans, employers and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by or negotiated with the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services provided to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than the Company's standard charges. The Company continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals. A summary of revenues by service type as a percentage of total revenues follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Patient service revenues: Surgical facilities revenues 94.1 % 92.6 % 94.0 % 93.0 % Ancillary services revenues 4.6 % 4.9 % 4.7 % 4.9 % 98.7 % 97.5 % 98.7 % 97.9 % Other service revenues: Optical services revenues 0.2 % 0.6 % 0.2 % 0.7 % Other revenues 1.1 % 1.9 % 1.1 % 1.4 % 1.3 % 2.5 % 1.3 % 2.1 % Total revenues 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Patient service revenues. This includes revenue related to charging facility fees in exchange for providing patient care. The fee charged for healthcare procedures performed in surgical facilities varies depending on the type of service provided, but usually includes all charges for usage of an operating room, a recovery room, special equipment, medical supplies, nursing staff and medications. The fee does not normally include professional fees charged by the patient’s surgeon, anesthesiologist or other attending physician, which are billed directly by such physicians to the patient or third-party payor. However, in several surgical facilities, the Company charges for anesthesia services. Ancillary service revenues include fees for patient visits to the Company's physician practices, pharmacy services and diagnostic tests ordered by physicians. Patient service revenues are recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Performance obligations are based on the nature of services provided. Typically, the Company recognizes revenue at a point in time in which services are rendered and the Company has no obligation to provide further patient services. As the Company primarily performs outpatient procedures, performance obligations are generally satisfied same day and revenue is recognized on the date of service. The Company determines the transaction price based on gross charges for services provided, net of estimated contractual adjustments and discounts from third-party payors. The Company estimates its contractual adjustments and discounts based on contractual agreements, its discount policies and historical experience. Changes in estimated contractual adjustments and discounts are recorded in the period of change. Other service revenues. Optical service revenues consist of handling charges billed to the members of the Company's optical products purchasing organization. The Company's optical products purchasing organization negotiates volume buying discounts with optical products manufacturers. The buying discounts and any handling charges billed to the members of the buying group represent the revenue recognized for financial reporting purposes. The Company satisfies the performance obligation and recognizes revenue when the orders are shipped to members. The Company bases its estimates for sales returns and discounts on historical experience and has not experienced significant fluctuations between estimated and actual return activity and discounts given. Other revenues include management and administrative service fees derived from the non-consolidated facilities that the Company accounts for under the equity method, management of surgical facilities in which it does not own an interest, and management services provided to physician practices for which the Company is not required to provide capital or additional assets. These agreements typically require the Company to provide recurring management services over a multi-year period which are billed and collected on a monthly basis. The fees derived from these management arrangements are based on a predetermined percentage of the revenues of each facility or practice and are recognized in the period in which management services are rendered and billed. The following table sets forth patient service revenues by type of payor and as a percentage of total patient service revenues for the Company's consolidated surgical facilities (dollars in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Amount % Amount % Patient service revenues: Private insurance $ 230.5 52.4 % $ 227.7 53.5 % Government 178.1 40.5 % 163.9 38.6 % Self-pay 9.5 2.2 % 13.1 3.1 % Other (1) 21.4 4.9 % 20.6 4.8 % Total patient service revenues 439.5 100.0 % 425.3 100.0 % Other service revenues: Optical services revenues 1.0 2.8 Other revenues 4.9 8.5 Total revenues $ 445.4 $ 436.6 Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Amount % Amount % Patient service revenues: Private insurance $ 445.8 52.4 % $ 444.2 53.5 % Government 343.0 40.3 % 321.0 38.7 % Self-pay 20.3 2.4 % 25.9 3.1 % Other (1) 41.2 4.9 % 38.9 4.7 % Total patient service revenues 850.3 100.0 % 830.0 100.0 % Other service revenues: Optical services revenues 2.1 5.8 Other revenues 9.8 12.1 Total revenues $ 862.2 $ 847.9 (1) Other is comprised of anesthesia service agreements, auto liability, letters of protection and other payor types. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances at high credit quality financial institutions. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated statement of cash flows includes $0.3 million of restricted investments, which are reflected in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheet at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These restricted investments represent restricted cash held in accordance with the provisions of a long-term operating lease agreement held as security for performance under the Company's covenants and obligations within the agreement through January 2024. Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Contractual Adjustments and Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable from third-party payors are recorded net of estimated implicit price concessions which are estimated based on the historical trend of the Company's surgical facilities’ cash collections and contractual write-offs, established fee schedules, relationships with payors and procedure statistics. While changes in estimated reimbursement from third-party payors remain a possibility, the Company expects that any such changes would be minimal and, therefore, would not have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Accounts receivable consists of receivables from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers and patients. Management recognizes that revenues and receivables from government agencies are significant to the Company's operations, but it does not believe that there is significant credit risk associated with these government agencies. Concentration of credit risk with respect to other payors is limited because of the large number of such payors. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company had a net third-party Medicaid settlements liability of $7.5 million and $4.8 million , respectively, included in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes that final reimbursement of accounts receivable is subject to final approval by each third-party payor. However, because the Company has contracts with its third-party payors and also verifies insurance coverage of the patient before medical services are rendered, the amounts that are pending approval from third-party payors are not considered significant. Amounts are classified outside of self-pay if the Company has an agreement with the third-party payor or has verified a patient’s coverage prior to services rendered. The Company's policy is to collect co-payments and deductibles prior to providing medical services. It is also the Company's policy to verify a patient’s insurance prior to the patient’s procedure. Patient services of the Company are primarily non-emergency, which allows the surgical facilities to control the procedures for which third-party reimbursement is sought and obtained. The Company does not require collateral from self-pay patients. The Company's collection policies and procedures are based on the type of payor, size of claim and estimated collection percentage for each patient account. The operating systems used to manage patient accounts provide for an aging schedule in 30-day increments, by payor, physician and patient. The Company analyzes accounts receivable at each of its surgical facilities to ensure the proper collection and aged category. The operating systems generate reports that assist in the collection efforts by prioritizing patient accounts. Collection efforts include direct contact with insurance carriers or patients, written correspondence and the use of legal or collection agency assistance, as required. The receivables related to the Company's optical products purchasing organization are recognized separately from patient accounts receivable, as discussed above, and are included in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such receivables were $10.0 million and $8.5 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Goodwill Goodwill represents the fair value of the consideration provided in an acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired and is not amortized. Additions to goodwill include amounts resulting from new business combinations and incremental ownership purchases in the Company's subsidiaries. A summary of the Company's acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is included in Note 2. "Acquisitions." A summary of activity related to goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 3,382.8 Acquisitions, including post acquisition adjustments 19.5 Balance at June 30, 2019 $ 3,402.3 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging , the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. In accordance with the fair value measurement guidance issued by the FASB in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Non-Controlling Interests—Redeemable Each partnership and limited liability company through which the Company owns and operates its surgical facilities is governed by a partnership or operating agreement, respectively. In certain circumstances, the applicable partnership or operating agreements for the Company's surgical facilities provide that the facilities will purchase all of the physician limited partners’ or physician minority members’, as applicable, ownership if certain adverse regulatory events occur, such as it becoming illegal for the physician(s) to own an interest in a surgical facility, refer patients to a surgical facility or receive cash distributions from a surgical facility. The non-controlling interests — redeemable are reported outside of stockholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A summary of activity related to the non-controlling interests—redeemable is as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 326.6 Net income attributable to non-controlling interests—redeemable 16.8 Acquisition and disposal of shares of non-controlling interests, net—redeemable (1) (7.7 ) Distributions to non-controlling interest—redeemable holders (19.7 ) Balance at June 30, 2019 $ 316.0 (1) Includes post acquisition date adjustments. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If a carryforward exists, the Company makes a determination as to whether the carryforward will be utilized in the future. A valuation allowance is established for certain carryforwards when their recoverability is deemed to be uncertain. The carrying value of the net deferred tax assets assumes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions. If our expectations for future operating results on a consolidated basis or at the state jurisdiction level vary from actual results due to changes in healthcare regulations, general economic conditions, or other factors, we may need to adjust the valuation allowance, for all or a portion of our deferred tax assets. Our income tax expense in future periods will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases, respectively, in our valuation allowance in the period when the change in circumstances occurs. These changes could have a significant impact on our future earnings. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The partnerships, limited liability companies, and certain non-consolidated physician practice corporations also file separate income tax returns. The Company's allocable portion of each partnership's and limited liability company's income or loss is included in taxable income of the Company. The remaining income or loss of each partnership and limited liability company is allocated to the other owners. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases," (the "Lease Accounting Standard"). The core principal of the Lease Accounting Standard is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information. The most prominent among the changes from this ASU is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The Company’s accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged from its prior accounting for capital leases. The disclosure objective is to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted the Lease Accounting Standard effective January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition approach. Under this approach, the Company elected to recognize and measure leases under the new standard in the period of adoption, with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, along with the application of certain available practical expedients including an exclusion for short-term leases and accounting for leases at the portfolio level where appropriate. The cumulative effect of the accounting change recognized upon adoption was $18.0 million reflected as an adjustment to retained deficit in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has implemented internal controls and key system functionality to establish governance and oversight over the implementation, and to ensure the Company’s financial statements and related footnotes are complete and accurate and are adequately reviewed by members of management. The newly implemented internal control changes related to leases include new systems and software implementation, updated accounting and disclosure policies, and redesigned financial reporting internal controls over governance, oversight and reviews. Additionally, the Company has expanded data gathering procedures to comply with the additional disclosure requirements and ongoing contract review requirements. |
