Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity HCA Holdings, Inc. is a holding company whose affiliates own and operate hospitals and related health care entities. The term “affiliates” includes direct and indirect subsidiaries of HCA Holdings, Inc. and partnerships and joint ventures in which such subsidiaries are partners. At December 31, 2015, these affiliates owned and operated 168 hospitals, 116 freestanding surgery centers and provided extensive outpatient and ancillary services. HCA Holdings, Inc.’s facilities are located in 20 states and England. The terms “Company,” “HCA,” “we,” “our” or “us,” as used herein and unless otherwise stated or indicated by context, refer to HCA Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates. The term “facilities” or “hospitals” refer to entities owned and operated by affiliates of HCA and the term “employees” refers to employees of affiliates of HCA. Basis of Presentation The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries and entities controlled by HCA. We generally define “control” as ownership of a majority of the voting interest of an entity. The consolidated financial statements include entities in which we absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities we do not control, but in which we have a substantial ownership interest and can exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method. We have completed various acquisitions and joint venture transactions. The accounts of these entities have been included in our consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to our acquisition of controlling interests. The majority of our expenses are “cost of revenue” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative include our corporate office costs, which were $327 million, $285 million and $287 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenues Revenues consist primarily of net patient service revenues that are recorded based upon established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments. Revenues are recorded during the period the health care services are provided, based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payers. Third-party payers include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans (includes plans offered through the health insurance exchanges, beginning in 2014), commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care health plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are generally based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates or discounted fee-for-service rates. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). We also record a provision for doubtful accounts (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to these uninsured accounts to record net self pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from third party payers, the uninsured and other for the years ended December 31, are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions): Years Ended December 31, 2015 Ratio 2014 Ratio 2013 Ratio Medicare $ 8,654 21.8 % $ 8,354 22.6 % $ 7,951 23.3 % Managed Medicare 4,133 10.4 3,614 9.8 3,279 9.6 Medicaid 1,705 4.3 1,848 5.0 1,480 4.3 Managed Medicaid 2,234 5.6 1,923 5.2 1,570 4.6 Managed care and other insurers 21,882 55.2 20,066 54.4 18,654 54.6 International (managed care and other insurers) 1,295 3.3 1,311 3.6 1,175 3.4 39,903 100.6 37,116 100.6 34,109 99.8 Uninsured 1,927 4.9 1,494 4.0 2,677 7.8 Other 1,761 4.4 1,477 4.0 1,254 3.7 Revenues before provision for doubtful accounts 43,591 109.9 40,087 108.6 38,040 111.3 Provision for doubtful accounts (3,913 ) (9.9 ) (3,169 ) (8.6 ) (3,858 ) (11.3 ) Revenues $ 39,678 100.0 % $ 36,918 100.0 % $ 34,182 100.0 % Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility recorded estimates will change by a material amount. Estimated reimbursement amounts are adjusted in subsequent periods as cost reports are prepared and filed and as final settlements are determined (in relation to certain government programs, primarily Medicare, this is generally referred to as the “cost report” filing and settlement process). The adjustments to estimated Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement amounts and disproportionate-share funds, which resulted in net increases to revenues, related primarily to cost reports filed during the respective year were $48 million, $50 million and $41 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The adjustments to estimated reimbursement amounts, which resulted in net increases to revenues, related primarily to cost reports filed during previous years were $85 million, $53 million and $68 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (“EMTALA”) requires any hospital participating in the Medicare program to conduct an appropriate medical screening examination of every person who presents to the hospital’s emergency room for treatment and, if the individual is suffering from an emergency medical condition, to either stabilize the condition or make an appropriate transfer of the individual to a facility able to handle the condition. The obligation to screen and stabilize emergency medical conditions exists regardless of an individual’s ability to pay for treatment. Federal and state laws and regulations require, and our commitment to providing quality patient care encourages, us to provide services to patients who are financially unable to pay for the health care services they receive. Because we do not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported in revenues. Patients treated at hospitals for nonelective care, who have income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, are eligible for charity care. The federal poverty level is established by the federal government and is based on income and family size. We provide discounts to uninsured patients who do not qualify for Medicaid or charity care. In implementing the uninsured discount policy, we may first attempt to provide assistance to uninsured patients to help determine whether they may qualify for Medicaid, other federal or state assistance or charity care. If an uninsured patient does not qualify for these programs, the uninsured discount is applied. To quantify the total impact of and trends related to uninsured accounts, we believe it is beneficial to view charity care, uninsured discounts and the provision for doubtful accounts in combination, rather than each separately. A summary of these amounts for the years ended December 31, follows (dollars in millions): 2015 Ratio 2014 Ratio 2013 Ratio Charity care $ 3,682 20 % $ 3,775 24 % $ 3,497 22 % Uninsured discounts 10,692 59 8,999 56 8,210 53 Provision for doubtful accounts 3,913 21 3,169 20 3,858 25 Total uncompensated care $ 18,287 100 % $ 15,943 100 % $ 15,565 100 % A summary of the estimated cost of total uncompensated care for the years ended December 31, follows (dollars in millions): 2015 2014 2013 Patient care costs (salaries and benefits, supplies, other operating expenses and depreciation and amortization) $ 33,760 $ 31,478 $ 29,606 Cost-to-charges ratio (patient care costs as percentage of gross patient charges) 14.5 % 15.5 % 16.3 % Total uncompensated care $ 18,287 $ 15,943 $ 15,565 Multiply by the cost-to-charges ratio 14.5 % 15.5 % 16.3 % Estimated cost of total uncompensated care $ 2,652 $ 2,471 $ 2,537 The sum of charity care, uninsured discounts and the provision for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of the sum of revenues, charity care, uninsured discounts and the provision for doubtful accounts was 31.5% for 2015, 30.2% for 2014 and 31.3% for 2013. Recent Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board issued a final, converged, principles-based standard on revenue recognition. Companies across all industries will use a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The new standard, which replaces nearly all existing United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards revenue recognition guidance, will require significant management judgment in addition to changing the way many companies recognize revenue in their financial statements. The standard was originally scheduled to become effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was originally not to be permitted under US GAAP. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, but will permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date). The FASB decided, based on its outreach to various stakeholders and forthcoming exposure drafts, which amend the new revenue standard, that a deferral was necessary to provide adequate time to effectively implement the new standard. We are continuing to evaluate the effects the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements and financial disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Our insurance subsidiaries’ cash equivalent investments in excess of the amounts required to pay estimated professional liability claims during the next twelve months are not included in cash and cash equivalents as these funds are not available for general corporate purposes. Carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Our cash management system provides for daily investment of available balances and the funding of outstanding checks when presented for payment. Outstanding, but unpresented, checks totaling $517 million and $511 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, have been included in “accounts payable” in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon presentation for payment, these checks are funded through available cash balances or our credit facility. Accounts Receivable We receive payments for services rendered from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers and patients. We recognize that revenues and receivables from government agencies are significant to our operations, but do not believe there are significant credit risks associated with these government agencies. We do not believe there are any other significant concentrations of revenues from any particular payer that would subject us to any significant credit risks in the collection of our accounts receivable. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the provision for doubtful accounts. Accounts written off as uncollectible are deducted from the allowance for doubtful accounts and subsequent recoveries are added. The amount of the provision for doubtful accounts is based upon management’s assessment of historical and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in federal, state and private employer health care coverage and other collection indicators. The provision for doubtful accounts and the allowance for doubtful accounts relate to “uninsured” amounts due directly from patients (including copayment and deductible amounts from patients who have health care coverage). Accounts are written off when all reasonable internal and external collection efforts have been performed. We consider the return of an account from the secondary collection agency to be the culmination of our reasonable collection efforts and the timing basis for writing off the account balance. Writeoffs are based upon specific identification and the writeoff process requires a writeoff adjustment entry to the patient accounting system. Management relies on the results of detailed reviews of historical writeoffs and recoveries at facilities that represent a majority of our revenues and accounts receivable (the “hindsight analysis”) as a primary source of information to utilize in estimating the collectibility of our accounts receivable. We perform the hindsight analysis quarterly, utilizing rolling twelve-months accounts receivable collection and writeoff data. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for doubtful accounts represented approximately 94.5% and 91.4%, respectively, of the $5.636 billion and $5.482 billion, respectively, patient due accounts receivable balance. The patient due accounts receivable balance represents the estimated uninsured portion of our accounts receivable. The estimated uninsured portion of Medicaid pending and uninsured discount pending accounts is included in our patient due accounts receivable balance. Days revenues in accounts receivable were 53 days, 54 days and 54 days at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Changes in general economic conditions, patient accounting service center operations, payer mix, or federal or state governmental health care coverage could affect our collection of accounts receivable, cash flows and results of operations. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Property and Equipment Depreciation expense, computed using the straight-line method, was $1.880 billion in 2015, $1.798 billion in 2014 and $1.733 billion in 2013. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging generally from 10 to 40 years. Estimated useful lives of equipment vary generally from four to 10 years. When events, circumstances or operating results indicate the carrying values of certain long-lived assets expected to be held and used, might be impaired, we prepare projections of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the projections indicate the recorded amounts are not expected to be recoverable, such amounts are reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value may be estimated based upon internal evaluations that include quantitative analyses of revenues and cash flows, reviews of recent sales of similar facilities and independent appraisals. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell or close. The estimates of fair value are usually based upon recent sales of similar assets and market responses based upon discussions with and offers received from potential buyers. Investments of Insurance Subsidiaries At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the investments of our 100% owned insurance subsidiaries were classified as “available-for-sale” as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. In addition to the annual impairment review, impairment reviews are performed whenever circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, and our impairment testing is performed at the operating division level. We compare the fair value of the reporting unit assets to the carrying amount, on at least an annual basis, to determine if there is potential impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit assets is less than their carrying value, we compare the fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value is estimated based upon internal evaluations of each reporting unit that include quantitative analyses of market multiples, revenues and cash flows and reviews of recent sales of similar facilities. No goodwill impairments were recognized during 2015, 2014 and 2013. Since January 1, 2000, we have recognized total goodwill impairments of $102 million in the aggregate. None of the goodwill impairments related to evaluations of goodwill at the reporting unit level, as all recognized goodwill impairments during this period related to goodwill allocated to asset disposal groups. During 2015, goodwill increased by $323 million related to acquisitions and declined by $2 million related to foreign currency translation and other adjustments. During 2014, goodwill increased by $542 million related to acquisitions and declined by $13 million related to foreign currency translation and other adjustments. During 2015, identifiable intangible assets increased by $22 million related to acquisitions and declined by $22 million due to amortization, foreign currency translation and other adjustments. During 2014, identifiable intangible assets declined by $22 million due to amortization. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over estimated lives ranging generally from three to 10 years. The gross carrying amount of identifiable intangible assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $184 million and $162 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $60 million and $38 million, respectively. During 2015, indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets declined by $6 million related to a reclassification. During 2014, indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets increased by $6 million related to acquisitions. The gross carrying amount of indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $269 million and $275 million, respectively. Indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests, and impairment reviews are performed whenever circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are amortized based upon the terms of the respective debt obligations. The gross carrying amount of debt issuance costs at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $318 million and $375 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $151 million and $156 million, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense and was $35 million, $42 million and $55 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Professional Liability Claims Reserves for professional liability risks were $1.465 billion and $1.407 billion at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The current portion of the reserves, $350 million and $329 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included in “other accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets. Provisions for losses related to professional liability risks were $344 million, $395 million and $314 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in “other operating expenses” in our consolidated income statements. Provisions for losses related to professional liability risks are based upon actuarially determined estimates. Loss and loss expense reserves represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported losses incurred through the respective consolidated balance sheet dates. The reserves for unpaid losses and loss expenses are estimated using individual case-basis valuations and actuarial analyses. Those estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjustments are recorded as experience develops or new information becomes known. Adjustments to the estimated reserve amounts are included in current operating results. The reserves for professional liability risks cover approximately 2,700 individual claims at both December 31, 2015 and 2014 and estimates for unreported potential claims. The time period required to resolve these claims can vary depending upon the jurisdiction and whether the claim is settled or litigated. During 2015 and 2014, $305 million and $268 million, respectively, of net payments were made for professional and general liability claims. The estimation of the timing of payments beyond a year can vary significantly. Although considerable variability is inherent in professional liability reserve estimates, we believe the reserves for losses and loss expenses are adequate; however, there can be no assurance the ultimate liability will not exceed our estimates. A portion of our professional liability risks is insured through a 100% owned insurance subsidiary. Subject to a $15 million per occurrence self-insured retention, our facilities are insured by our 100% owned insurance subsidiary for losses up to $50 million per occurrence. The insurance subsidiary has obtained reinsurance for professional liability risks generally above a retention level of $25 million per occurrence. We also maintain professional liability insurance with unrelated commercial carriers for losses in excess of amounts insured by our insurance subsidiary. The obligations covered by reinsurance and excess insurance contracts are included in the reserves for professional liability risks, as we remain liable to the extent the reinsurers and excess insurance carriers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance and excess insurance contracts. The amounts receivable under the reinsurance contracts include $35 million and $20 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, recorded in “other assets,” and $9 million and $5 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, recorded in “other current assets.” Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments are employed to manage interest rate risks, and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. We recognize our interest rate swap derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized periodically in stockholders’ equity, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), provided the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the forecasted transactions when they occur. In the event the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates is no longer likely, the amount in other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized in earnings and generally the derivative is terminated. The net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps is recognized as interest expense. Gains and losses resulting from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized as adjustments to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt originally associated with the terminated swap. Electronic Health Record Incentive Payments The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for eligible hospitals and professionals that adopt and meaningfully use certified electronic health record (“EHR”) technology. We recognize income related to Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments using a gain contingency model that is based upon when our eligible hospitals have demonstrated meaningful use of certified EHR technology for the applicable period and the cost report information for the full cost report year that will determine the final calculation of the incentive payment is available. We recognized $47 million ($46 million Medicare and $1 million Medicaid), $125 million ($118 million Medicare and $7 million Medicaid) and $216 million ($183 million Medicare and $33 million Medicaid) of electronic health record incentive income during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014, we had $39 million (none at December 31, 2015) of deferred EHR incentive income, which represented initial incentive payments received for which EHR incentive income had not been recognized. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of less than 100% owned entities that we control. Accordingly, we have recorded noncontrolling interests in the earnings and equity of such entities. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. |

Share-Based Compensation | NOTE 2 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Stock Incentive Plan The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of HCA Holdings, Inc. and its Affiliates, as Amended and Restated (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), is designed to promote the long term financial interests and growth of the Company by attracting and retaining management and other personnel and to motivate them to achieve long range goals and further the alignment of interests of participants with those of our stockholders through opportunities for increased stock, or stock-based, ownership in the Company. Portions of the options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted under the Stock Incentive Plan vest solely based upon continued employment over a specific period of time, and portions of the options, SARs and RSUs, and all performance share units (“PSUs”) vest based both upon continued employment over a specific period of time and upon the achievement of predetermined financial targets over time. We granted 1,746,300 and 3,445,000 SARs and 3,105,000 and 3,832,100 RSUs and PSUs under the Stock Incentive Plan during 2015 and 2014, respectively. At December 31, 2015, there were 15,291,000 stock options and SARs outstanding and exercisable, and there were 25,386,000 shares available for future grants under the Stock Incentive Plan. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The HCA Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was approved by the stockholders of the Company during the April 2014 Annual Meeting with 12,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance thereunder. The ESPP provides our participating employees an opportunity to obtain shares of our common stock at a discount (through payroll deductions over three-month periods). At December 31, 2015, 10,812,700 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the ESPP provisions. During 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $8 million and $2 million of compensation expense related to the ESPP, respectively. Stock Option, SAR, RSU and PSU Activity The fair value of each stock option and SAR award is estimated on the grant date, using valuation models and the weighted average assumptions indicated in the following table. Awards under the Stock Incentive Plan generally vest based on continued employment (“Time Stock Options and SARs” and “Time RSUs”) and based upon continued employment and the achievement of certain financial targets (“Performance Stock Options and SARs”, “Performance RSUs” and “PSUs”). PSUs have a three-year cumulative earnings per share target, and the number of PSUs earned can vary from zero (for actual performance of less than 80% of target) to two times the original PSU grant (for actual performance of 120% or more of target). Each grant is valued as a single award with an expected term equal to the average expected term of the component vesting tranches. We use historical exercise behavior data and other factors to estimate the expected term of the options and SARs. The expected term of the share-based award is limited by the contractual term, and employee post-vesting termination behavior is incorporated in the historical exercise behavior data. Compensation cost is recognized on the straight-line attribution method. The straight-line attribution method requires that total compensation expense recognized must at least equal the vested portion of the grant-date fair value. The expected volatility is derived using historical stock price information for our common stock and that of certain peer group companies. The risk-free interest rate is the approximate yield on United States Treasury Strips having a life equal to the expected share-based award life on the date of grant. The expected life is an estimate of the number of years a share-based award will be held before it is exercised. 2015 2014 2013 Risk-free interest rate 1.59 % 1.96 % 1.20 % Expected volatility 36 % 37 % 45 % Expected life, in years 6.25 6.25 6.25 Expected dividend yield — — — Information regarding Time Stock Options and SARs and Performance Stock Options and SARs activity during 2015, 2014 and 2013 is summarized below (share amounts in thousands): Time Performance Total Weighted Weighted Aggregate Options and SARs outstanding, December 31, 2012 19,191 22,051 41,242 $ 11.56 Granted 2,432 2,432 4,864 37.49 Exercised (4,498 ) (5,843 ) (10,341 ) 8.49 Cancelled (316 ) (263 ) (579 ) 25.50 Options and SARs outstanding, December 31, 2013 16,809 18,377 35,186 15.82 Granted 1,723 1,722 3,445 48.56 Exercised (3,322 ) (5,234 ) (8,556 ) 9.15 Cancelled (159 ) (121 ) (280 ) 29.54 Options and SARs outstanding, December 31, 2014 15,051 14,744 29,795 21.39 Granted 1,746 — 1,746 69.16 Exercised (4,093 ) (3,988 ) (8,081 ) 12.77 Cancelled (539 ) (329 ) (868 ) 32.59 Options and SARs outstanding, December 31, 2015 12,165 10,427 22,592 27.73 5.3 years $ 950 Options and SARs exercisable, December 31, 2015 7,648 7,643 15,291 $ 18.74 4.2 years $ 780 The weighted average fair values of stock options and SARs granted during 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $26.10, $19.13 and $16.68 per share, respectively.

Acquisitions and Dispositions | NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS During 2015, we paid $15 million to acquire a hospital, and we paid $336 million to acquire nonhospital health care entities. During 2014, we paid $161 million to acquire three hospitals, and we paid $605 million to acquire nonhospital health care entities. During 2013, we paid $146 million to acquire three hospitals, and we paid $335 million to acquire nonhospital health care entities. Purchase price amounts have been allocated to the related assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets of these acquired entities aggregated $323 million, $542 million and $253 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the acquired entities subsequent to the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma effects of these acquired entities on our results of operations for periods prior to the respective acquisition dates were not significant. During 2015, we received proceeds of $73 million and recognized a net pretax loss of $5 million ($3 million after tax) related to the sale of a hospital facility and sales of real estate and other investments. During 2014, we received proceeds of $51 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $29 million ($18 million after tax) related to the sale of a hospital facility and sales of real estate and other investments. During 2013, we received proceeds of $33 million and recognized a net pretax loss of $10 million ($7 million after tax) related to the sale of a hospital facility and sales of real estate and other investments. |

Our foreign pretax income was $178 million, $238 million and $187 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rate follows: 2015 2014 2013 Federal statutory rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 1.6 2.3 2.3 Change in liability for uncertain tax positions 0.2 0.5 0.5 Tax exempt interest income (0.1 ) (0.1 ) (0.2 ) Other items, net 0.5 (0.5 ) 0.3 Effective income tax rate on income applicable to HCA Holdings, Inc. 37.2 37.2 37.9 Income attributable to noncontrolling interests from consolidated partnerships (5.3 ) (5.4 ) (5.7 ) Effective income tax rate on income before income taxes 31.9 % 31.8 % 32.2 % A summary of the items comprising the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 follows (dollars in millions): 2015 2014 Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Depreciation and fixed asset basis differences $ — $ 222 $ — $ 226 Allowances for professional liability and other risks 443 — 403 — Accounts receivable 363 — 341 — Compensation 334 — 272 — Other 845 820 756 745 $ 1,985 $ 1,042 $ 1,772 $ 971 At December 31, 2015, federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (expiring in years 2018 through 2034) available to offset future taxable income approximated $105 million and $144 million, respectively. Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in any one year may be limited. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (dollars in millions): 2015 2014 Balance at January 1 $ 503 $ 445 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 13 3 Additions for tax positions of prior years 22 72 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (45 ) (11 ) Settlements — (1 ) Lapse of applicable statutes of limitations (6 ) (5 ) Balance at December 31 $ 487 $ 503 During 2014, the IRS Examination Division began an audit of HCA Holding’s Inc.’s 2011 and 2012 federal income tax returns. We are also subject to examination by state and foreign taxing authorities. Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $554 million, including accrued interest of $73 million and excluding $6 million that was recorded as reductions of the related deferred tax assets, as of December 31, 2015 ($548 million, $58 million and $13 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2014). Unrecognized tax benefits of $233 million ($205 million as of December 31, 2014) would affect the effective rate, if recognized. Depending on the resolution of any IRS, state and foreign tax disputes, the completion of examinations by federal, state or foreign taxing authorities, or the expiration of statutes of limitation for specific taxing jurisdictions, we believe it is reasonably possible that our liability for unrecognized tax benefits may significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. However, we are currently unable to estimate the range of any possible change. |

Financial Instruments | NOTE 7 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Interest Rate Swap Agreements We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties based on common notional principal amounts and maturity dates. Pay-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert LIBOR indexed variable rate obligations to fixed interest rate obligations. The interest payments under these agreements are settled on a net basis. The net interest payments, based on the notional amounts in these agreements, generally match the timing of the related liabilities, for the interest rate swap agreements which have been designated as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of the swap agreements represent amounts used to calculate the exchange of cash flows and are not our assets or liabilities. Our credit risk related to these agreements is considered low because the swap agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. The following table sets forth our interest rate swap agreements, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, at December 31, 2015 (dollars in millions): Notional Maturity Date Fair Pay-fixed interest rate swaps $ 3,000 December 2016 $ (85 ) Pay-fixed interest rate swaps 1,000 December 2017 (25 ) During the next 12 months, we estimate $101 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to interest expense. Derivatives — Results of Operations The following table presents the effect of our interest rate swaps on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 (dollars in millions): Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Amount of Loss Location of Loss Amount of Loss Interest rate swaps $ 22 Interest expense $ 125 Credit-risk-related Contingent Features We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of December 31, 2015, we have not been required to post any collateral related to these agreements. If we had breached these provisions at December 31, 2015, we would have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their aggregate, estimated termination value of $112 million. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value | NOTE 8 — ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Cash Traded Investments Our cash traded investments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Certain types of cash traded instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency. The valuation of these securities involves management’s judgment, after consideration of market factors and the absence of market transparency, market liquidity and observable inputs. Derivative Financial Instruments We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of these instruments. Although we determined the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. We assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions, and at December 31, 2015 and 2014, we determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (dollars in millions): December 31, 2015 Fair Value Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Assets: Investments of insurance subsidiaries: Debt securities: States and municipalities $ 444 $ — $ 438 $ 6 Money market funds 34 34 — — 478 34 438 6 Equity securities 4 4 — — Investments of insurance subsidiaries 482 38 438 6 Less amounts classified as current assets (50 ) (34 ) (16 ) — $ 432 $ 4 $ 422 $ 6 Liabilities: Interest rate swaps (Income taxes and other liabilities) $ 110 $ — $ 110 $ — December 31, 2014 Fair Value Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Assets: Investments of insurance subsidiaries: Debt securities: States and municipalities $ 494 $ — $ 488 $ 6 Money market funds 61 61 — — 555 61 488 6 Equity securities 3 3 — — Investments of insurance subsidiaries 558 64 488 6 Less amounts classified as current assets (64 ) (61 ) (3 ) — $ 494 $ 3 $ 485 $ 6 Liabilities: Interest rate swaps (Income taxes and other liabilities) $ 199 $ — $ 199 $ — The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was $31.411 billion and $30.861 billion at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, compared to carrying amounts, excluding net debt issuance costs, aggregating $30.655 billion and $29.645 billion, respectively. The estimates of fair value are generally based upon the quoted market prices or quoted market prices for similar issues of long-term debt with the same maturities. |

The pretax loss on retirement of debt related to these redemptions was $226 million. Senior Secured Credit Facilities And Other Senior Secured Debt We have entered into the following senior secured credit facilities: (i) a $3.250 billion asset-based revolving credit facility maturing on March 7, 2019 with a borrowing base of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria ($3.030 billion outstanding at December 31, 2015) (the “ABL credit facility”); (ii) a $2.000 billion senior secured revolving credit facility maturing on February 26, 2019 (none outstanding at December 31, 2015 without giving effect to certain outstanding letters of credit); (iii) a $1.365 billion senior secured term loan A-5 facility maturing on June 10, 2020; (iv) a $2.319 billion senior secured term loan B-4 facility maturing on May 1, 2018; and (v) a $1.955 billion senior secured term loan B-5 facility maturing on March 31, 2017. We refer to the facilities described under (ii) through (v) above, collectively, as the “cash flow credit facility” and, together with the ABL credit facility, the “senior secured credit facilities.” Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (2) the prime rate of Bank of America or (b) a LIBOR rate for the currency of such borrowing for the relevant interest period, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities may be reduced subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. The senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our (and some or all of our subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness, repay subordinated indebtedness, create liens on assets, sell assets, make investments, loans or advances, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, pay dividends and distributions, and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, we are required to satisfy and maintain a maximum total leverage ratio covenant under the cash flow credit facility and, in certain situations under the ABL credit facility, a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. Senior secured notes consists of (i) $3.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.50% first lien notes due 2020; (ii) $1.350 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% first lien notes due 2022; (iii) $1.250 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.75% first lien notes due 2023; (iv) $1.500 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.75% first lien notes due 2019; (v) $2.000 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.00% first lien notes due 2024; (vi) $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% first lien notes due 2019; and (vii) $1.400 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.25% first lien notes due 2025. Capital leases and other secured debt totaled $634 million at December 31, 2015. We use interest rate swap agreements to manage the variable rate exposure of our debt portfolio. At December 31, 2015, we had entered into effective interest rate swap agreements, in a total notional amount of $4.000 billion, in order to hedge a portion of our exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with the senior secured credit facilities. The effect of the interest rate swaps is reflected in the effective interest rates for the senior secured credit facilities. Senior Unsecured Notes Senior unsecured notes consist of (i) $8.391 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes with maturities ranging from 2018 to 2033; (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $125 million medium-term notes maturing 2025; (iii) an aggregate principal amount of $736 million debentures with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2095; and (iv) an aggregate principal amount of $1.000 billion senior notes due 2021. General Debt Information The senior secured credit facilities and senior secured notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all existing and future, direct and indirect, 100% owned material domestic subsidiaries that are “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” under our Indenture (the “1993 Indenture”) dated December 16, 1993 (except for certain special purpose subsidiaries that only guarantee and pledge their assets under our ABL credit facility). All obligations under the ABL credit facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the receivables of the borrowers and each guarantor under such ABL credit facility (the “Receivables Collateral”).

Contingencies and Legal Claim Costs | NOTE 10 — CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL CLAIM COSTS We operate in a highly regulated and litigious industry. As a result, various lawsuits, claims and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. We are subject to claims for additional taxes and related interest and penalties. We are also subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims for personal injuries or wrongful restriction of, or interference with, physicians’ staff privileges. In certain of these actions the claimants may seek punitive damages against us which may not be covered by insurance. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims or legal and regulatory proceedings could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. Government Investigations, Claims and Litigation Health care companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Further, under the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), private parties have the right to bring qui tam In July 2012, the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami requested information on reviews assessing the medical necessity of interventional cardiology services provided at any Company facility (other than peer reviews). The Company cooperated with the government’s request and produced medical records associated with particular reviews at eight hospitals, located primarily in Florida. The Company subsequently learned that the government’s inquiries related to three qui tam qui tam qui tam qui tam qui tam qui tam qui tam On April 2, 2014, the UK Competition and Markets Authority (“Authority”) issued a final report on its investigation of the private health care market in London. It concluded, among other things, that many private hospitals face little competition in central London, and that there are high barriers to entry. As part of its remedies package, the Authority ordered HCA to sell either: (a) its London Bridge and Princess Grace hospitals; or (b) its Wellington Hospital, including the Platinum Medical Centre. It also imposed other remedial conditions on HCA and other private health care providers, including: regulation of incentives to referring physicians; increased access to information about fees and performance; and restrictions on future arrangements between private providers and National Health Service private patient units. HCA disagrees with the Authority’s assessment of the competitive conditions for hospitals in London, as well as its proposed divestiture remedy, and appealed the decision to the Competition Appeal Tribunal. The Competition Appeal Tribunal overturned certain of the Authority’s findings and sent the matter back to the Authority for further proceedings. In November 2015, following consideration of additional evidence, the Authority issued a Provisional Decision that again found there were adverse effects on competition in the private hospital market in central London. The Provisional Decision modified some of the Authority’s earlier factual conclusions and acknowledged certain mitigating factors for some of the effects noted in the prior decision. The Provisional Decision also offers some additional potential remedies, and the Authority is now consulting on remedies for the adverse competitive effects. A Provisional Decision on Remedies is expected during the first quarter of 2016, with a Final Report anticipated in May 2016. If dissatisfied with the Final Report, HCA will have an opportunity to appeal to the Competitive Appeal Tribunal. Securities Class Action Litigation On October 28, 2011, a shareholder action, Schuh v. HCA Holdings, Inc. et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee seeking monetary relief. The case sought to include as a class all persons who acquired the Company’s stock pursuant or traceable to the Company’s Registration Statement issued in connection with the March 9, 2011 initial public offering. The lawsuit asserted a claim under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 against the Company, certain members of the board of directors, and certain underwriters in the offering. It further asserted a claim under Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 against the same members of the board of directors. The action alleged various deficiencies in the Company’s disclosures in the Registration Statement. Subsequently, two additional class action complaints, Kishtah v. HCA Holdings, Inc. et al. and Daniels v. HCA Holdings, Inc. et al., setting forth substantially similar claims against substantially the same defendants were filed in the same federal court on November 16, 2011 and December 12, 2011, respectively. All three of the cases were consolidated. On May 3, 2012, the court appointed New England Teamsters & Trucking Industry Pension Fund as Lead Plaintiff for the consolidated action. On July 13, 2012, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting claims under Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 against the Company, certain members of the board of directors, and certain underwriters in the offering. It further asserts a claim under Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 against the same members of the board of directors and Hercules Holding II, LLC, a majority shareholder of the Company at the time of the initial public offering. The consolidated complaint alleges deficiencies in the Company’s disclosures in the Registration Statement and Prospectus relating to: (1) the accounting for the Company’s 2006 recapitalization and 2010 reorganization; (2) the Company’s failure to maintain effective internal controls relating to its accounting for such transactions; and (3) the Company’s Medicare and Medicaid revenue growth rates. The Company and other defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on September 11, 2012. The court granted the motion in part on May 28, 2013. The action proceeded to discovery on the remaining claims. The plaintiffs’ motion for class certification was granted on September 22, 2014. The court certified a class consisting of all persons that acquired HCA stock on or before October 28, 2011 (the date of the lawsuit) pursuant to the Registration Statement issued in connection with the March 9, 2011 initial public offering. A request to the court of appeals to hear an immediate appeal of this ruling was denied. Following the close of discovery, plaintiffs and defendants each filed motions for summary judgment and to strike certain of the expert witnesses. As described below, a preliminary agreement to settle the shareholder class actions has been reached. In addition to the above described consolidated shareholder class action, on December 8, 2011, a federal shareholder derivative action, Sutton v. Bracken, et al., putatively initiated in the name of the Company, was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against certain officers and present and former directors of the Company seeking monetary relief. The action alleges breaches of fiduciary duties by the named officers and directors in connection with the accounting and earnings claims set forth in the shareholder class actions described above. Setting forth substantially similar claims against substantially the same defendants, an additional federal derivative action, Schroeder v. Bracken, et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on December 16, 2011, and a state derivative action, Bagot v. Bracken, et al., was filed in Tennessee state court in the Davidson County Circuit Court on December 20, 2011. The federal derivative actions were consolidated in the Middle District of Tennessee and stayed pending developments in the shareholder class actions. The state derivative action had also been stayed pending developments in the shareholder class actions, but that stay has expired. The plaintiff in the state derivative action subsequently filed an amended complaint on September 9, 2013 that added additional allegations made in the shareholder class actions. On September 24, 2013, an additional state derivative action, Steinberg v. Bracken, et al., was filed in Tennessee state court in the Davidson County Circuit Court. This action against our board of directors has been consolidated with the earlier filed state derivative action. The plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a consolidated complaint on December 4, 2013. The Company filed a motion to again stay the state derivative action pending developments in the class action, but the court did not act on the motion. On November 3, 2015, the Company reached a preliminary agreement in principle to settle the Schuh Sutton, Schroeder Bagot Schuh Bagot The monetary terms of the settlement in the Schuh Health Midwest Litigation In October 2009, the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City, a nonprofit health foundation, filed suit against HCA Inc. in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri and alleged that HCA did not fund the level of capital expenditures and uncompensated care agreed to in connection with HCA’s purchase of hospitals from Health Midwest in 2003. The central issue in the case was whether HCA’s construction of new hospitals counted towards its $450 million five-year capital commitment. In addition, the plaintiff alleged that HCA did not make its required capital expenditures in a timely fashion. On January 24, 2013, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff and awarded at least $162 million. The court also ordered a court-supervised accounting of HCA’s capital expenditures, as well as of expenditures on charity and uncompensated care during the ten years following the purchase. The court also indicated it would award plaintiff attorneys fees, which the parties have stipulated are approximately $12 million for the trial phase. HCA recorded $175 million of legal claim costs in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to this ruling, and consistent with the judge’s order, has been accruing interest on that sum at 9% per annum. On April 25, 2014, the parties stipulated to an additional $78 million shortfall relating to the capital expenditures issue. HCA recorded $78 million of legal claims costs in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the stipulation, and accrued interest on that amount at 9% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the stipulation, the parties have preserved their respective rights to contest the judge’s underlying ruling, whether through motions in the trial court or on appeal. On February 9, 2015, the parties reached an agreement to settle the part of their dispute relating to charity and uncompensated care for $15 million. The foundation is required to use that amount, net of attorneys’ fees, for charitable activities in the Kansas City area. The parties also agreed on an additional amount for attorneys’ fees for the plaintiff for the accounting phase of the case. The parties filed post-trial motions, on which the court ruled on October 21, 2015. The court denied defendants’ motion to have the court change its rulings on liability and damages related to the capital expenditures issue. The court granted the plaintiff’s motion for an award of additional pre-judgment interest, but did not specify whether the interest awarded was simple interest or would be compounded. The court subsequently concluded that interest was to be compounded, and on December 9, 2015, the court entered judgment in the case in the total sum of $434 million, with interest continuing to accrue at 9% per annum, compounded annually, from and after November 19, 2015, until the matter is resolved. At December 31, 2015, the Company had an accrued liability of $438 million for the damages, costs and interest related to this litigation. On January 15, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal in the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District. The schedule for hearing the appeal has not yet been set. |

Share Repurchase Transactions During October 2015, May 2015 and February 2015, our board of directors authorized share repurchase programs for up to $3.0 billion, $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of our outstanding common stock. During April 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase 3,806,500 shares of its common stock beneficially owned by affiliates of Bain Capital Investors, LLC (the “Bain Entities”) and certain charitable organizations that received shares of common stock as charitable contributions from certain partners and other employees of the Bain Entities at a purchase price of $77.26 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 17, 2015, less a discount of 1% (the “Share Repurchase”). The Share Repurchase was made pursuant to the February 2015 authorization. During 2015, we repurchased 28,184,700 shares of our common stock at an average price of $74.62 per share through market purchases, resulting in total repurchases pursuant to the October 2015, May 2015 and February 2015 authorizations of 31,991,200 shares of our common stock at an average price of $74.93 per share. At December 31, 2015, we had no repurchase authorization remaining under the $1.0 billion May 2015 and $1.0 billion February 2015 authorizations and $2.603 billion of repurchase authorization available under the $3.0 billion October 2015 authorization. During December 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase 7,612,900 shares of its common stock beneficially owned by affiliates of Bain Capital Investors, LLC at a purchase price of $73.26 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 5, 2014, less a discount of 1%. The repurchase was made pursuant to the Company’s $1.0 billion repurchase program adopted by the Company’s board of directors in October 2014 which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2014 through market purchases of an additional 6,415,700 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $68.96 per share (14,028,600 total shares repurchased at an average purchase price of $71.29 per share). During May 2014, certain of the Company’s stockholders, consisting principally of affiliates of, or funds sponsored by, Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (the “Selling Stockholders”), sold in an underwritten secondary offering, 15 million shares from their holdings of the Company’s common stock. The Selling Shareholders received all the proceeds from this offering. Concurrent with the closing of the secondary offering, we repurchased approximately $750 million of additional shares (14,554,600 shares) of our common stock from the Selling Stockholders at the net offering price ($51.53 per share). During November 2013, the Selling Stockholders sold, in an underwritten secondary offering, 30 million shares from their holdings of the Company’s common stock. The Selling Stockholders received all of the proceeds from this offering. Concurrent with the closing of the secondary offering, we repurchased approximately $500 million of additional shares (10,656,400 shares) of our common stock from the Selling Stockholders at the net offering price ($46.92 per share). |

Employee Benefit Plans | NOTE 13 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS We maintain contributory, defined contribution benefit plans that are available to employees who meet certain minimum requirements. Certain of the plans require that we match specified percentages of participant contributions up to certain maximum levels (generally, 100% of the first 3% to 9%, depending upon years of vesting service, of compensation deferred by participants). The cost of these plans totaled $432 million for 2015, $404 million for 2014 and $374 million for 2013. Our contributions are funded periodically during each year. We maintain the noncontributory, nonqualified Restoration Plan to provide certain retirement benefits for eligible employees. Eligibility for the Restoration Plan is based upon earning eligible compensation in excess of the Social Security Wage Base and attaining 1,000 or more hours of service during the plan year. Company credits to participants’ account balances (the Restoration Plan is not funded) depend upon participants’ compensation, years of vesting service and certain IRS limitations related to the HCA 401(k) plan. Benefits expense under this plan was $20 million for 2015, $31 million for 2014 and $29 million for 2013. Accrued benefits liabilities under this plan totaled $164 million at December 31, 2015 and $156 million at December 31, 2014. We maintain a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for certain executives (the SERP is not funded). The plan is designed to ensure that upon retirement the participant receives the value of a prescribed life annuity from the combination of the SERP and our other benefit plans. Benefits expense under the plan was $33 million for 2015, $31 million for 2014 and $43 million for 2013. Accrued benefits liabilities under this plan totaled $207 million at December 31, 2015 and $231 million at December 31, 2014. We maintain defined benefit pension plans which resulted from certain hospital acquisitions in prior years. Benefits expense under these plans was $25 million for 2015, $13 million for 2014, and $37 million for 2013. Accrued benefits liabilities under these plans totaled $131 million at December 31, 2015 and $172 million at December 31, 2014. |

At December 31, 2015, the National Group included 84 hospitals located in Alaska, California, Florida, southern Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, northern Kentucky, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia, and the American Group included 78 hospitals located in Colorado, northern Georgia, Kansas, southern Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. We also operate six hospitals in England, and these facilities are included in the Corporate and other group. Adjusted segment EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, losses (gains) on sales of facilities, losses on retirement of debt, legal claim costs, income taxes and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We use adjusted segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator for purposes of allocating resources to geographic areas and assessing their performance. Adjusted segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Adjusted segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from adjusted segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because adjusted segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The geographic distributions of our revenues, equity in earnings of affiliates, adjusted segment EBITDA, depreciation and amortization, assets and goodwill and other intangible assets are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions): For the Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Revenues: National Group $ 18,756 $ 17,335 $ 15,975 American Group 18,872 17,532 16,487 Corporate and other 2,050 2,051 1,720 $ 39,678 $ 36,918 $ 34,182 Equity in earnings of affiliates: National Group $ (7 ) $ (15 ) $ (9 ) American Group (32 ) (31 ) (24 ) Corporate and other (7 ) 3 4 $ (46 ) $ (43 ) $ (29 ) Adjusted segment EBITDA: National Group $ 4,271 $ 3,848 $ 3,303 American Group 4,207 4,025 3,662 Corporate and other (563 ) (445 ) (391 ) $ 7,915 $ 7,428 $ 6,574 Depreciation and amortization: National Group $ 769 $ 749 $ 718 American Group 886 840 835 Corporate and other 249 231 200 $ 1,904 $ 1,820 $ 1,753 For the Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Adjusted segment EBITDA $ 7,915 $ 7,428 $ 6,574 Depreciation and amortization 1,904 1,820 1,753 Interest expense 1,665 1,743 1,848 Losses (gains) on sales of facilities 5 (29 ) 10 Losses on retirement of debt 135 335 17 Legal claim costs 249 78 — Income before income taxes $ 3,957 $ 3,481 $ 2,946 December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Assets: National Group $ 11,332 $ 10,590 $ 10,208 American Group 15,240 15,091 13,911 Corporate and other 6,172 5,299 4,475 $ 32,744 $ 30,980 $ 28,594 National American Corporate Total Goodwill and other intangible assets: Balance at December 31, 2012 $ 1,035 $ 4,189 $ 315 $ 5,539 Acquisitions 68 13 297 378 Foreign currency translation, amortization and other 1 (12 ) (3 ) (14 ) Balance at December 31, 2013 1,104 4,190 609 5,903 Acquisitions 72 428 48 548 Foreign currency translation, amortization and other (6 ) (4 ) (25 ) (35 ) Balance at December 31, 2014 1,170 4,614 632 6,416 Acquisitions 318 27 — 345 Foreign currency translation, amortization and other (7 ) (3 ) (20 ) (30 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 1,481 $ 4,638 $ 612 $ 6,731 |

The common stock of Healthtrust has been pledged as collateral for the senior secured credit facilities and senior secured notes described in Note 9. Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires the filing of separate financial statements for any affiliate of the registrant whose securities constitute a substantial portion of the collateral for any class of securities registered or being registered. We believe the separate financial statements requirement applies to Healthtrust due to the pledge of its common stock as collateral for the senior secured notes. Due to the corporate structure relationship of HCA and Healthtrust, HCA’s operating subsidiaries are also the operating subsidiaries of Healthtrust. The corporate structure relationship, combined with the application of push-down accounting in Healthtrust’s consolidated financial statements related to HCA’s debt and financial instruments, results in the consolidated financial statements of Healthtrust being substantially identical to the consolidated financial statements of HCA. The consolidated financial statements of HCA and Healthtrust present the identical amounts for revenues, expenses, net income, assets, liabilities, total stockholders’ deficit, net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities. Certain individual line items in the HCA consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit are combined into one line item in the Healthtrust consolidated statements of stockholder’s deficit.

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries and entities controlled by HCA. We generally define “control” as ownership of a majority of the voting interest of an entity. The consolidated financial statements include entities in which we absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities we do not control, but in which we have a substantial ownership interest and can exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method. We have completed various acquisitions and joint venture transactions. The accounts of these entities have been included in our consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to our acquisition of controlling interests. The majority of our expenses are “cost of revenue” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative include our corporate office costs, which were $327 million, $285 million and $287 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenues Revenues consist primarily of net patient service revenues that are recorded based upon established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments. Revenues are recorded during the period the health care services are provided, based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payers. Third-party payers include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans (includes plans offered through the health insurance exchanges, beginning in 2014), commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care health plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are generally based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates or discounted fee-for-service rates. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). We also record a provision for doubtful accounts (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to these uninsured accounts to record net self pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from third party payers, the uninsured and other for the years ended December 31, are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions): Years Ended December 31, 2015 Ratio 2014 Ratio 2013 Ratio Medicare $ 8,654 21.8 % $ 8,354 22.6 % $ 7,951 23.3 % Managed Medicare 4,133 10.4 3,614 9.8 3,279 9.6 Medicaid 1,705 4.3 1,848 5.0 1,480 4.3 Managed Medicaid 2,234 5.6 1,923 5.2 1,570 4.6 Managed care and other insurers 21,882 55.2 20,066 54.4 18,654 54.6 International (managed care and other insurers) 1,295 3.3 1,311 3.6 1,175 3.4 39,903 100.6 37,116 100.6 34,109 99.8 Uninsured 1,927 4.9 1,494 4.0 2,677 7.8 Other 1,761 4.4 1,477 4.0 1,254 3.7 Revenues before provision for doubtful accounts 43,591 109.9 40,087 108.6 38,040 111.3 Provision for doubtful accounts (3,913 ) (9.9 ) (3,169 ) (8.6 ) (3,858 ) (11.3 ) Revenues $ 39,678 100.0 % $ 36,918 100.0 % $ 34,182 100.0 % Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility recorded estimates will change by a material amount. Estimated reimbursement amounts are adjusted in subsequent periods as cost reports are prepared and filed and as final settlements are determined (in relation to certain government programs, primarily Medicare, this is generally referred to as the “cost report” filing and settlement process). The adjustments to estimated Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement amounts and disproportionate-share funds, which resulted in net increases to revenues, related primarily to cost reports filed during the respective year were $48 million, $50 million and $41 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The adjustments to estimated reimbursement amounts, which resulted in net increases to revenues, related primarily to cost reports filed during previous years were $85 million, $53 million and $68 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (“EMTALA”) requires any hospital participating in the Medicare program to conduct an appropriate medical screening examination of every person who presents to the hospital’s emergency room for treatment and, if the individual is suffering from an emergency medical condition, to either stabilize the condition or make an appropriate transfer of the individual to a facility able to handle the condition. The obligation to screen and stabilize emergency medical conditions exists regardless of an individual’s ability to pay for treatment. Federal and state laws and regulations require, and our commitment to providing quality patient care encourages, us to provide services to patients who are financially unable to pay for the health care services they receive. Because we do not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported in revenues. Patients treated at hospitals for nonelective care, who have income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, are eligible for charity care. The federal poverty level is established by the federal government and is based on income and family size. We provide discounts to uninsured patients who do not qualify for Medicaid or charity care. In implementing the uninsured discount policy, we may first attempt to provide assistance to uninsured patients to help determine whether they may qualify for Medicaid, other federal or state assistance or charity care. If an uninsured patient does not qualify for these programs, the uninsured discount is applied. To quantify the total impact of and trends related to uninsured accounts, we believe it is beneficial to view charity care, uninsured discounts and the provision for doubtful accounts in combination, rather than each separately. A summary of these amounts for the years ended December 31, follows (dollars in millions): 2015 Ratio 2014 Ratio 2013 Ratio Charity care $ 3,682 20 % $ 3,775 24 % $ 3,497 22 % Uninsured discounts 10,692 59 8,999 56 8,210 53 Provision for doubtful accounts 3,913 21 3,169 20 3,858 25 Total uncompensated care $ 18,287 100 % $ 15,943 100 % $ 15,565 100 % A summary of the estimated cost of total uncompensated care for the years ended December 31, follows (dollars in millions): 2015 2014 2013 Patient care costs (salaries and benefits, supplies, other operating expenses and depreciation and amortization) $ 33,760 $ 31,478 $ 29,606 Cost-to-charges ratio (patient care costs as percentage of gross patient charges) 14.5 % 15.5 % 16.3 % Total uncompensated care $ 18,287 $ 15,943 $ 15,565 Multiply by the cost-to-charges ratio 14.5 % 15.5 % 16.3 % Estimated cost of total uncompensated care $ 2,652 $ 2,471 $ 2,537 The sum of charity care, uninsured discounts and the provision for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of the sum of revenues, charity care, uninsured discounts and the provision for doubtful accounts was 31.5% for 2015, 30.2% for 2014 and 31.3% for 2013. |
Recent Pronouncements | Recent Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board issued a final, converged, principles-based standard on revenue recognition. Companies across all industries will use a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The new standard, which replaces nearly all existing United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards revenue recognition guidance, will require significant management judgment in addition to changing the way many companies recognize revenue in their financial statements. The standard was originally scheduled to become effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was originally not to be permitted under US GAAP. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, but will permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date). The FASB decided, based on its outreach to various stakeholders and forthcoming exposure drafts, which amend the new revenue standard, that a deferral was necessary to provide adequate time to effectively implement the new standard. We are continuing to evaluate the effects the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements and financial disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Our insurance subsidiaries’ cash equivalent investments in excess of the amounts required to pay estimated professional liability claims during the next twelve months are not included in cash and cash equivalents as these funds are not available for general corporate purposes. Carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Our cash management system provides for daily investment of available balances and the funding of outstanding checks when presented for payment. Outstanding, but unpresented, checks totaling $517 million and $511 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, have been included in “accounts payable” in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon presentation for payment, these checks are funded through available cash balances or our credit facility. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable We receive payments for services rendered from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers and patients. We recognize that revenues and receivables from government agencies are significant to our operations, but do not believe there are significant credit risks associated with these government agencies. We do not believe there are any other significant concentrations of revenues from any particular payer that would subject us to any significant credit risks in the collection of our accounts receivable. Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made by means of the provision for doubtful accounts. Accounts written off as uncollectible are deducted from the allowance for doubtful accounts and subsequent recoveries are added. The amount of the provision for doubtful accounts is based upon management’s assessment of historical and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in federal, state and private employer health care coverage and other collection indicators. The provision for doubtful accounts and the allowance for doubtful accounts relate to “uninsured” amounts due directly from patients (including copayment and deductible amounts from patients who have health care coverage). Accounts are written off when all reasonable internal and external collection efforts have been performed. We consider the return of an account from the secondary collection agency to be the culmination of our reasonable collection efforts and the timing basis for writing off the account balance. Writeoffs are based upon specific identification and the writeoff process requires a writeoff adjustment entry to the patient accounting system. Management relies on the results of detailed reviews of historical writeoffs and recoveries at facilities that represent a majority of our revenues and accounts receivable (the “hindsight analysis”) as a primary source of information to utilize in estimating the collectibility of our accounts receivable. We perform the hindsight analysis quarterly, utilizing rolling twelve-months accounts receivable collection and writeoff data. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for doubtful accounts represented approximately 94.5% and 91.4%, respectively, of the $5.636 billion and $5.482 billion, respectively, patient due accounts receivable balance. The patient due accounts receivable balance represents the estimated uninsured portion of our accounts receivable. The estimated uninsured portion of Medicaid pending and uninsured discount pending accounts is included in our patient due accounts receivable balance. Days revenues in accounts receivable were 53 days, 54 days and 54 days at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Changes in general economic conditions, patient accounting service center operations, payer mix, or federal or state governmental health care coverage could affect our collection of accounts receivable, cash flows and results of operations. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Depreciation expense, computed using the straight-line method, was $1.880 billion in 2015, $1.798 billion in 2014 and $1.733 billion in 2013. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging generally from 10 to 40 years. Estimated useful lives of equipment vary generally from four to 10 years. When events, circumstances or operating results indicate the carrying values of certain long-lived assets expected to be held and used, might be impaired, we prepare projections of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the projections indicate the recorded amounts are not expected to be recoverable, such amounts are reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value may be estimated based upon internal evaluations that include quantitative analyses of revenues and cash flows, reviews of recent sales of similar facilities and independent appraisals. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell or close. The estimates of fair value are usually based upon recent sales of similar assets and market responses based upon discussions with and offers received from potential buyers. |
Investments of Insurance Subsidiaries | Investments of Insurance Subsidiaries At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the investments of our 100% owned insurance subsidiaries were classified as “available-for-sale” as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. In addition to the annual impairment review, impairment reviews are performed whenever circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, and our impairment testing is performed at the operating division level. We compare the fair value of the reporting unit assets to the carrying amount, on at least an annual basis, to determine if there is potential impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit assets is less than their carrying value, we compare the fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value is estimated based upon internal evaluations of each reporting unit that include quantitative analyses of market multiples, revenues and cash flows and reviews of recent sales of similar facilities. No goodwill impairments were recognized during 2015, 2014 and 2013. Since January 1, 2000, we have recognized total goodwill impairments of $102 million in the aggregate. None of the goodwill impairments related to evaluations of goodwill at the reporting unit level, as all recognized goodwill impairments during this period related to goodwill allocated to asset disposal groups. During 2015, goodwill increased by $323 million related to acquisitions and declined by $2 million related to foreign currency translation and other adjustments. During 2014, goodwill increased by $542 million related to acquisitions and declined by $13 million related to foreign currency translation and other adjustments. During 2015, identifiable intangible assets increased by $22 million related to acquisitions and declined by $22 million due to amortization, foreign currency translation and other adjustments. During 2014, identifiable intangible assets declined by $22 million due to amortization. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over estimated lives ranging generally from three to 10 years. The gross carrying amount of identifiable intangible assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $184 million and $162 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $60 million and $38 million, respectively. During 2015, indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets declined by $6 million related to a reclassification. During 2014, indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets increased by $6 million related to acquisitions. The gross carrying amount of indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $269 million and $275 million, respectively. Indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests, and impairment reviews are performed whenever circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are amortized based upon the terms of the respective debt obligations. The gross carrying amount of debt issuance costs at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $318 million and $375 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $151 million and $156 million, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense and was $35 million, $42 million and $55 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
Professional Liability Claims | Professional Liability Claims Reserves for professional liability risks were $1.465 billion and $1.407 billion at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The current portion of the reserves, $350 million and $329 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included in “other accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets. Provisions for losses related to professional liability risks were $344 million, $395 million and $314 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in “other operating expenses” in our consolidated income statements. Provisions for losses related to professional liability risks are based upon actuarially determined estimates. Loss and loss expense reserves represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported losses incurred through the respective consolidated balance sheet dates. The reserves for unpaid losses and loss expenses are estimated using individual case-basis valuations and actuarial analyses. Those estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjustments are recorded as experience develops or new information becomes known. Adjustments to the estimated reserve amounts are included in current operating results. The reserves for professional liability risks cover approximately 2,700 individual claims at both December 31, 2015 and 2014 and estimates for unreported potential claims. The time period required to resolve these claims can vary depending upon the jurisdiction and whether the claim is settled or litigated. During 2015 and 2014, $305 million and $268 million, respectively, of net payments were made for professional and general liability claims. The estimation of the timing of payments beyond a year can vary significantly. Although considerable variability is inherent in professional liability reserve estimates, we believe the reserves for losses and loss expenses are adequate; however, there can be no assurance the ultimate liability will not exceed our estimates. A portion of our professional liability risks is insured through a 100% owned insurance subsidiary. Subject to a $15 million per occurrence self-insured retention, our facilities are insured by our 100% owned insurance subsidiary for losses up to $50 million per occurrence. The insurance subsidiary has obtained reinsurance for professional liability risks generally above a retention level of $25 million per occurrence. We also maintain professional liability insurance with unrelated commercial carriers for losses in excess of amounts insured by our insurance subsidiary. The obligations covered by reinsurance and excess insurance contracts are included in the reserves for professional liability risks, as we remain liable to the extent the reinsurers and excess insurance carriers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance and excess insurance contracts. The amounts receivable under the reinsurance contracts include $35 million and $20 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, recorded in “other assets,” and $9 million and $5 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, recorded in “other current assets.” |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments are employed to manage interest rate risks, and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. We recognize our interest rate swap derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized periodically in stockholders’ equity, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), provided the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the forecasted transactions when they occur. In the event the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates is no longer likely, the amount in other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized in earnings and generally the derivative is terminated. The net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps is recognized as interest expense. Gains and losses resulting from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized as adjustments to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt originally associated with the terminated swap. |
Electronic Health Record Incentive Payments | Electronic Health Record Incentive Payments The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for eligible hospitals and professionals that adopt and meaningfully use certified electronic health record (“EHR”) technology. We recognize income related to Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments using a gain contingency model that is based upon when our eligible hospitals have demonstrated meaningful use of certified EHR technology for the applicable period and the cost report information for the full cost report year that will determine the final calculation of the incentive payment is available. We recognized $47 million ($46 million Medicare and $1 million Medicaid), $125 million ($118 million Medicare and $7 million Medicaid) and $216 million ($183 million Medicare and $33 million Medicaid) of electronic health record incentive income during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014, we had $39 million (none at December 31, 2015) of deferred EHR incentive income, which represented initial incentive payments received for which EHR incentive income had not been recognized. |
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures | Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. |
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities | Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of less than 100% owned entities that we control. Accordingly, we have recorded noncontrolling interests in the earnings and equity of such entities. |
Cash Traded Investments | Cash Traded Investments Our cash traded investments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Certain types of cash traded instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency. The valuation of these securities involves management’s judgment, after consideration of market factors and the absence of market transparency, market liquidity and observable inputs. Our valuation models derived fair market values compared to tax-equivalent yields of other securities of similar credit worthiness and similar effective maturities. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of these instruments. Although we determined the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. We assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions, and at December 31, 2015 and 2014, we determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. |
Earning Per Share | We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, SARs, RSUs and PSUs, computed using the treasury stock method. |
Interest Rate Swaps [Member] | |
Financial Instruments | Interest Rate Swap Agreements We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties based on common notional principal amounts and maturity dates. Pay-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert LIBOR indexed variable rate obligations to fixed interest rate obligations. The interest payments under these agreements are settled on a net basis. The net interest payments, based on the notional amounts in these agreements, generally match the timing of the related liabilities, for the interest rate swap agreements which have been designated as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of the swap agreements represent amounts used to calculate the exchange of cash flows and are not our assets or liabilities. Our credit risk related to these agreements is considered low because the swap agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. |
