Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Privia Health Group, Inc. (“we”, “our” the “Company” “Privia”), became the sole shareholder of PH Group Holdings Corp. (“PH Holdings”) (formerly Brighton Health Services Holding Corporation) effective August 11, 2016. At the time, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Brighton Health Group Holdings, LLC (“BHG Holdings”) (formerly MC Acquisition Holdings I, LLC, HoldCo). The Company uses the same operational and financial model in each market. As of December 31, 2021, Privia operates in eight markets: 1) the Mid-Atlantic Region (states of Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia); 2) the state of Georgia; 3) the Gulf Coast Region (Houston, Texas); 4) North Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas); 5) West Texas (Abilene, Texas); 6) Central Florida; 7) the state of Tennessee and 8) the state of California. Medical groups are formed in each market with the primary purpose to operate as a physician group practice with healthcare services being furnished through physician members (“Privia Physicians”) and non-physician clinicians (together, “Privia Providers”) supervised by Privia Physicians. Privia Physicians typically enter into a PMSA with a medical group, which requires the Privia Physician to provide healthcare services through and on behalf of the medical group. In conjunction with the PMSA, the medical group enters a Support Services Agreement (“SSA”) with the Privia Physician’s historic practice entity (“Affiliated Practice”) whereby the Affiliated Practice provides certain subcontracted services to the medical group to allow the medical group to operate at the practice location. The Company does not own any Affiliated Practice, nor does the Company have risk of loss related to the Affiliated Practices; rather, they are typically owned by certain Privia Physicians. The Company’s ownership varies by state, creating three types of medical groups: Owned Medical Groups, Non-Owned Medical Groups and Friendly Medical Groups (which are also Non-Owned Medical Groups). The Company majority owns Owned Medical Groups in those markets where medical group ownership is allowed with Privia Physicians owning, in the aggregate, the minority interest in the medical group. In other markets where state regulations do not allow the Company to own the medical group, our “Non-Owned Medical Groups” are either (a) 100% owned by the Privia Physicians or (b) majority owned, indirectly through a professional entity (“Nominee PC”), by a licensed physician holding a Privia leadership position (such physician leader, a “Nominee Physician” and each such Non-Owned Medical Group owned in this manner, a “Friendly Medical Group”). Currently, the Company has Friendly Medical Groups only in the Tennessee and West Texas. The Company has entered into a restriction agreement with each of its Nominee Physicians and their respective Nominee PCs, which provides the Company the right to direct the transfer of each Nominee PC’s ownership in the Friendly Medical Groups to other licensed physicians, among other matters. Owned Medical Groups and Friendly Medical Groups are consolidated into the Company, while Non-Owned Medical Groups are not. For Non-Owned Medical Groups and Friendly Medical Groups, please refer to the discussion of “Variable Interest Entities” for further discussion. The Company also forms local management companies to provide administrative and management services (“MSOs”) to the medical groups through a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) in each market. The Company owns 100% of all MSOs, except four where the Company is at least the majority owner. Within each market, Privia has three different sources of revenue: 1) Fee-for-service (“FFS”) revenue consisting of: a) FFS-patient care revenue which is primarily earned through Owned Medical Groups and b) FFS-administrative services revenue which is primarily earned by owned MSOs from Non-Owned Medical Groups through the MSAs; 2) VBC revenue consisting of: a) care management fees (“PMPM”) and b) shared savings both of which are primarily earned through Company-owned Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”) in each market; and 3) Other revenue which is earned from services provided to patients of both Owned and Non-Owned Medical Groups and CARES Act funds received. Initial Public Offering On May 3, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 22,425,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an offering price of $23.00 per share. On May 3, 2021, the Company also sold 4,000,000 shares to an affiliate of Anthem, Inc. (“Anthem”) in a private placement. In aggregate, the shares issued in the offering and Anthem private placement generated gross proceeds of $223.7 million and $211.0 million in net proceeds, which is net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, and other offering costs. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Amounts shown on the consolidated statements of operations within the operating expense categories of physician and practice expense, cost of platform, selling and marketing, and general and administrative are recorded exclusive of depreciation and amortization. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Variable Interest Entities Management evaluates the Company’s ownership, contractual, and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). These evaluations are complex, involve judgment, and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical information, among other factors. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual, or ownership, interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entity in its consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Management performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively. The Company evaluated its relationship with (a) Non-Owned Medical Groups and their Affiliated Practices, (b) Friendly Medical Groups and their Affiliated Practices, and (c) Affiliated Practices associated with Owned Medical Groups to determine if any of these entities should be subject to consolidation. The Company does not have ownership interest in any Affiliated Practices (whether those of Owned Medical Groups, Non-Owned Medical Groups or Friendly Medical Groups); nor does the Company have an ownership in Non-Owned Medical Groups or Friendly Medical Groups. The PMSA and support services agreement (“SSA”) entered by Non-Owned Medical Groups and Friendly Medical Groups with their Privia Physician members and the Affiliated Practices are not contractual relationships within Privia’s legal structure. The only contractual relationship between Privia and Non-Owned Medical Groups is established through the MSA. For Friendly Medical Groups, in addition to the MSA, the Company has a contractual relationship, evidenced by a restriction agreement (each a “Restriction Agreement”) with its Nominee Physicians and their respective Nominee PCs. Management has determined, based on the provisions of the MSAs between the Company and Non-Owned Medical Groups, and after considering the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), the Company is not required to consolidate the financial position or results of operations of the Affiliated Practices associated with Owned Medical Groups; nor is it required to consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Non-Owned Medical Groups (and, therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate the Affiliated Practices of the Non-Owned Medical Groups). However, management has determined, based on the provisions of the Restriction Agreement by and among the Company, the Nominee Physicians and their respective Nominee PCs, the governing documents of the Friendly Medical Groups, and after considering the requirements of ASC 810, that the Company should consolidate the financial position or results of operations of the Friendly Medical Groups and the Nominee PCs, but not the Affiliated Practices of the Friendly Medical Groups. ASC 810 requires the Company to consolidate the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of a Non-Owned Medical Group affiliated by means of a service agreement if the Non-Owned Medical Group is a VIE and the Company is its primary beneficiary. A Non-Owned Medical Group would be considered a VIE if (a) it is thinly capitalized (i.e., the equity is not sufficient to fund the Non-Owned Medical Group’s activities without additional subordinated financial support) or (b) the equity holders of the Non-Owned Medical Group as a group have one of the following four characteristics: (i) lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the Non-Owned Medical Group’s economic performance, (ii) possess non-substantive voting rights, (iii) lack the obligation to absorb the Non-Owned Medical Group’s expected losses, or (iv) lack the right to receive the Non-Owned Medical Group’s expected residual returns. The characteristics of both (a) and (b) do not exist and as such the Non-Owned Medical Groups do not represent VIEs. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Non-Owned Medical Groups that are affiliated with the Company by means of a service agreement for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Each time that it enters into a new service agreement or enters into a material amendment to an existing service agreement, the Company considers whether the terms of that agreement or amendment would change the elements it considers in accordance with the VIE guidance. The same analysis was performed for the Affiliated Practices of Owned Medical Groups, which have contractual relationships with Privia through the SSA, and the Company determined they do not represent VIEs as they do not meet the criteria in ASC 810 for similar reasons outlined above. The Company, however, does meet the criteria for consolidation of the Nominee PCs and the Friendly Medical Groups based on the discussion above. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company launched Privia Medical Group West Texas, PLLC, formerly known as Abilene Diagnostic Clinic, PLLC (“WTX Friendly Medical Group”). WTX Friendly Medical Group is a physician-owned Medical Group, with PMG West Texas Holdings, PLLC (“WTX Nominee PC”), a Texas professional limited liability company entirely owned by a licensed physician with a leadership role in the Company, owning majority membership interests and having governance and control rights via the governing documents of WTX Friendly Medical Group. The Company has a contractual relationship with WTX Nominee PC through a Restriction Agreement. The VIE analysis was performed, and the Company determined that the relationship between Company, WTX Nominee PC and WTX Friendly Medical Group does represent a VIE and as such is consolidated as they do meet the criteria in ASC 810. Similarly, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company established a second Friendly Medical Group in the State of Tennessee - Privia Medical Group Tennessee, PLLC (“TN Friendly Medical Group”). TN Friendly Medical Group is a physician owned Medical Group, with PMG-TN Physicians, PLLC (“TN Nominee PC”), a Tennessee professional limited liability company entirely owned by a licensed physician with a leadership role in the Company, owning majority of the membership interests therein and having governance and control rights via the governing documents of TN Friendly Medical Group. Again, the same analysis was performed, and the Company determined that the relationship between Company, TN Nominee PC and TN Friendly Medical Group does represent a VIE and as such is consolidated because they do meet the criteria in ASC 810. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered the California market through an affiliation with BASS Medical Group, one of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area’s leading healthcare multi-specialty groups with more than 400 providers spanning 42 specialties caring for patients at over 125 locations. Privia acquired a majority interest in BASS Management Services Organization, LLC, now BASS Privia Management Company of California, LLC (“BPMC”), which is the exclusive provider of management services to BASS Medical Group. BPMC provides management and other administrative services, as well as various other services to medical practices and others. The Company performed the same analysis and determined that BPMC does not represent a VIE as it does not meet the criteria in ASC 810 but given that Privia owns 51% of the voting interest in the entity, the entity is consolidated as a result. As a result of the PMG West Texas and PMG-TN transactions, the aggregated carrying value of the current assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances were $4.2 million and $4.2 million respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Total revenues and operating expenses were $5.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively, from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2021. Emerging Growth Company Status We are an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company”, we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) hold non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure. On an on-going basis we evaluate significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives of assets, intangible assets subject to amortization, and the computation of income taxes. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Management evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Operating Segments The Company determined in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) that the Company operates in and reports as a single operating segment, and therefore one reporting segment – Privia Health Group, Inc. Refer to Note 16 “Segment Financial Information” for additional information concerning the Company’s services. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Stimulus Act (“CARES Act”) The current COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on our results of operations, cash flow and financial position for the years ended and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, as we experienced lower volumes than anticipated and shifts in the mix of services provided after the onset of the pandemic in the United States. We are closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business including impacts to employees, customers, patients, suppliers and vendors. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was passed. It is intended to provide economic relief to individuals and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It also contains provisions related to healthcare providers’ operations and the issues caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The following are significant economic impacts for the Company and its subsidiaries as a result of specific provisions of the CARES Act for the year ended December 31, 2021: • The Company elected to defer its portion of Social Security taxes in 2020, which may be repaid over two years as follows: 50% by the end of 2021 and 50% by the end of 2022. Approximately $0.8 million is recorded in accrued expenses on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 related to this deferral and the Company intends to remit payment by the end of 2021; and • The Company received $0.8 million and $13.3 million in grant funds from the Provider Relief Fund under the CARES Act during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all unrestricted, liquid financial instruments purchased with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates fair value. Accounts Receivable Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable relate to providing health care services to patients whose costs are primarily paid by federal and state governmental authorities or commercial insurance companies. The Company reports accounts receivable at an amount equal to the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing healthcare services to patients, which is estimated using historical reimbursement rates and an analysis of past experience to estimate potential adjustments. Management writes-off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible because of circumstances that affect the ability of payers and self-pay patients to make payments as they occur. While write-offs of customer accounts have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established, management cannot guarantee that future write-offs will be consistent with historical experience, which could result in material differences when compared to the Company’s allowances and related provisions. Unearned Revenue The Company records unearned revenue, which is a contract liability, when it has an obligation to provide services and payment is received in advance of performance of those services. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment consist of furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, and computer hardware and software and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which for leasehold improvements are the lesser of the lease terms or the life of the asset, and three Internal-Use Software The Company capitalizes costs related to internal-use software during the application development stage including consulting costs and compensation expenses related to employees who devote time to development projects. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development activities and post implementation activities are expensed in the period incurred and included in cost of platform expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. The Company records capitalized software development costs in property and equipment, net. Capitalized internal-use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life. Business Combination Accounting for business combinations requires us to allocate the fair value of purchase considerations to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values, which were determined primarily using the income method. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identified assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, revenue growth rates, medical claims expense, cost of care expenses, operating expenses, discount rate, contract terms and useful life from acquired assets. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Allocation of purchase consideration to identifiable assets and liabilities affects our amortization expense, as acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the useful life, whereas any indefinite lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized. During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Company completed several acquisitions to strengthen its current market share in existing markets or to expand into new markets. The consideration paid for each of the acquisitions was derived through arm’s length negotiations. Each of the Company’s acquisitions was accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) . The results of operations of the acquisitions have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since their respective date of acquisition. For additional details, refer to Note 3 “Business Combinations.” Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset group for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. An impairment loss can be recognized in loss from operations when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. The Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price, plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The Company performs a qualitative assessment on goodwill at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. If it is determined in the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not below its carrying amount, then the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Any excess in the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill over its fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company completes a single assessment of Goodwill as it has one reporting unit. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, there was no impairment loss related to goodwill. For additional details, refer to Note 4 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net.” Intangible Assets, net Definite-lived intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets which are as follows: Trade names 20 years Consumer customer relationships 10 years FFS customer relationships 24 years Management Service Agreement (Complete MD) 16 years Physician network 15 years Payer contracts 21 years Management Service Agreement (BPMC) 21 years The Company reviews the carrying value of its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If these future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results; trends and prospects; the manner in which the intangible assets are used; and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. For additional details, refer to Note 4 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net.” Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs represent costs incurred to issue the Company’s note payable and are recorded as a direct reduction to the Company’s note payable. These costs are amortized over the term of the applicable indebtedness using the effective interest method. Amortization is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Revenue Recognition Beginning January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective approach. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: i. Identify the contract(s) with a customer; ii. Identify the performance obligations in the contract; iii. Determine the transaction price; iv. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and v. Recognize revenue as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. FFS Revenue FFS-patient care The Company’s FFS-patient care revenue is primarily generated from providing healthcare services to patients. Providing medical services to patients represents our performance obligation under these third party payer agreements, and accordingly, the transaction price is allocated entirely to that one performance obligation. We recognize revenue as services are rendered and approved by the Privia Providers, which is typically a single day for each service. We receive payment for services from third party payers, as well as from patients who have health insurance, but are also financially responsible for some or all of the service in the form of co-pays, coinsurance or deductibles. Patients who do not have health insurance are required to pay for their services in full. FFS-patient care revenue is reported net of provisions for contractual allowances from third-party payers and patients. We have certain agreements with third-party payers that provide for reimbursement at amounts different from our standard billing rates. The differences between the estimated reimbursement rates and the standard billing rates are accounted for as contractual adjustments, which are deducted from gross revenue to arrive at FFS-patient care revenue. We determine our estimate of implicit price concessions based on our historical collection experience with classes of patients using a portfolio approach as a practical expedient to account for patient contracts as collective groups rather than individually. The financial statement effects of using this practical expedient are not materially different from an individual contract approach. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price (determined on a portfolio basis when applicable) are generally recorded as adjustments to revenue in the period of the change. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, changes in the Company’s estimates of implicit price concessions, contractual adjustments, and expected payments for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods were not significant. With respect to our treatment of revenue from Owned Medical Groups, it is necessary to assess whether we are the principal or the agent with respect to FFS-patient care revenue in light of the fact that healthcare services are furnished by Privia Providers rather than employees of the Owned Medical Groups. ASC 606-10-55-37A indicates that an entity is a principal if it obtains control of a right to a service to be performed by another party, which gives the entity the ability to direct that party to perform the services to the customer on the entity’s behalf. The Owned Medical Groups, which are each majority-owned and controlled by us, own the contractual relationships with the patients and the third party payers and they direct Privia Providers to perform healthcare services on the Company’s behalf. Although we are prohibited by law from interfering in the physician-patient relationship or making clinical care decisions, our Owned Medical Groups are responsible for the fulfillment of healthcare services to patients. Further, we employ Chief Medical Officers and Medical Directors who provide clinical oversight and direction over the clinical affairs of the Owned Medical Groups. In addition, the Owned Medical Group provides the care coordination activities, patient outreach and education activities, and sets quality standards for our Privia Providers. We also verify that Privia Providers have the proper qualifications (e.g., correct licenses, certificates, etc.) for our Owned Medical Groups, for ourselves and as a delegate on behalf of certain third-party payers. In addition to oversight of health care services, the Owned Medical Group is also the party primarily responsible for providing the services to patients and maintains discretion in establishing pricing for all services th |
