Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
•
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
|
•
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect share-based compensation expense;
|
•
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expenses or cash requirements to pay taxes;
|
•
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain Other expenses which may require cash payments;
|
•
|
Although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements or other purchase commitments, including lease commitments; and
|
•
|
Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

On November 13, 2013, the Board authorized, subject to the completion of the restatement of our financial statements, the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (the "2013 Repurchase Program"). The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the 2013 Repurchase Program will be determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The 2013 Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. See Note 8, Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

”, and each such entity, a “
Third Party Eligible Medical Group
”). To the extent a physician group is either an Owned Eligible Medical Group or, subject to
Section 1(e)
, a Third Party Eligible Medical Group, the Parties agree that any such physician group included in one of the below groups, whether such physician group is currently existing or hereafter becomes acquired by, employed by, or party to a PSA with Ascension Health or an Ascension Health Affiliate, is an Eligible Medical Group and will receive EMG Services under this Supplement following the execution of an EMG Services Addendum (as defined in
Section 1(g)
below) covering the applicable physician group(s):
|
(i)
|
all physician groups that receive revenue cycle management services through the Athena Platform (or any successor Platform that Ascension Health uses as its primary Platform with respect to revenue cycle management services), which physician groups are located in various U.S. states (“
NRSC/Athena Group
”);
|
(ii)
|
all physician groups associated with Via Christi Health in Kansas that receive revenue cycle management services through the Cerner Platform (“
Cerner Group
”); and
|
(iii)
|
all physician groups associated with Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare in Wisconsin that receive revenue cycle management services through the Epic Platform (“
Epic Group
”).

Employed EMG Physician
”), in connection with this Supplement and the EMG Services (including failure by an Owned Eligible Medical Group or Employed EMG Physician to perform in accordance with this Supplement or to
|
(e)
|
Treatment of Third Party Eligible Medical Groups
. Following the Supplement Effective Date, Ascension Health and Supplier will work together in good faith to create a set of terms and conditions related to the receipt of EMG Services by Third Party Eligible Medical Groups from Supplier, to which Ascension Health may, in its sole discretion, bind any Third Party Eligible Medical Group in connection with such Third Party Eligible Medical Group’s receipt of EMG Services from Supplier (such terms and conditions, “
Third Party Terms
”). Ascension Health will take the lead in determining a strategy for approaching Third Party Eligible Medical Groups regarding their potential receipt of EMG Services from Supplier under this Supplement and Supplier shall comply with any such strategy determined by Ascension Health. The Parties anticipate that each Third Party Eligible Medical Group would receive all of the EMG Services described in
Exhibit 1
of this Supplement, which receipt of EMG Services would be subject to and in accordance with this Supplement (including an applicable EMG Services Addendum) in the same manner as the Owned Eligible Medical Groups also receiving EMG Services under this Supplement (including such EMG Services Addendum); provided that [**].
Ascension Health shall be and remains responsible and liable to Supplier for all acts or omissions of a Third Party Eligible Medical Group, including the physicians employed by the Third Party Eligible Medical Group (each, an “
Third Party EMG Physician
”), receiving EMG Services under this Supplement (including any failure by a Third Party Eligible Medical Group or a Third Party EMG Physician to perform in accordance with this Supplement or to comply with any duties or obligations imposed on Ascension Health under this Supplement) to the same extent that such act or omission was committed by Ascension Health, an Ascension Health Affiliate, or its or their employees hereunder, notwithstanding any conflicting terms or conditions in the applicable PSA or any Third Party Terms. Any claims or rights that may accrue to any Third Party Eligible Medical Group or Third Party EMG Physician under this Supplement may be exercised only by Ascension Health against Supplier.
|
(f)
|
Onboarding of Eligible Medical Groups

Section 1(f)
,
Section 4.2(b)
of the MPSA, and the initial transition plan provided to Ascension Health by Supplier. The Parties intend that both Owned Eligible Medical Groups and, subject to

EMG Services Addenda
. The Parties intend for Eligible Medical Groups included in the NRSC/Athena Group (excluding those located in Binghamton and Bridgeport, which will only receive Platform-Specific Services) to: (i) first receive Platform-Specific Services under an EMG Services Addendum covering the NRSC/Athena Group as a whole (i.e., “Enterprise 1” in the chart below) (“
NRSC/Athena Addendum
”); and (ii) thereafter, on an EMG Market-by-EMG Market basis, receive Medical Group Market Services (as defined in
Section 4(a)
below, which would be in addition to the Platform-Specific Services) under separate market-specific EMG Services Addenda for the Eligible Medical Groups included in the NRSC/Athena Group (each, a “
Market Addendum
”). Eligible Medical Groups in the Epic Group will receive all of the EMG Services under the Wisconsin Addendum (as defined below). Eligible Medical Groups in the Cerner Group will receive all of the EMG Services under an EMG Services Addendum covering only the Cerner Group (“
Cerner Group Addendum
”). The Parties intend for the aforementioned EMG Services Addenda to be executed in accordance with the timeline above. Supplier will have no obligation to provide EMG Services to any Eligible Medical Group, and Ascension Health will have no obligation to pay the EMG Base Fee (as defined in
Section 5(a)
below) in respect of any Eligible Medical Group, until Ascension Health and Supplier enter into an addendum to this Supplement in substantially the form set forth in
Annex 1
, which applies specifically to such Eligible Medical Group and sets forth: (i) an acknowledgment that the provision of revenue cycle management services for the applicable Eligible Medical Groups will be transitioned to Supplier; and (ii) any terms or conditions that deviate from, or are in addition to, the terms and conditions of this Supplement as specifically applied to such Eligible Medical Group (each such addendum, an “
EMG Services Addendum
”). Upon execution, each EMG Services Addendum will be automatically incorporated by reference into this Supplement. In the event of a conflict between the terms in this Supplement and the terms of an EMG Services Addendum, the terms of the EMG Services Addendum will control with respect to the applicable Eligible Medical Group.
|
(h)
|
New Eligible Medical Groups
. If: (i) (A) following the Supplement Effective Date, Ascension Health or an Ascension Health Affiliate acquires, employs, or enters into a PSA with, a physician group that is not automatically included in the NRSC/Athena Group, the Cerner Group or the Epic Group under the applicable EMG Services Addendum or (B) there is any physician group that, as of the Supplement

Section 4.6(b)
of the MPSA, including, if all of the Owned Eligible Medical Groups within an EMG Market then-receiving EMG Services are divested (provided that for purposes of this sentence, the Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama, Florida, Maryland and D.C. markets will each be considered separate EMG Markets), with respect to Acquirer Termination Charges and Divestiture Termination Charges (i.e., a one-time termination fee equal to 0.65% of the Cash Collections for the applicable sold or divested Owned Eligible Medical Groups for the applicable trailing twelve (12) month period, which percentage shall decrease to zero percent (0%) on a straight line basis over the five (5) year period beginning on the Supplement Effective Date), which shall be applied to this Supplement,
mutatis mutandis.
With respect to all divestitures or sales of an Owned Eligible Medical Group to an Affiliate of Ascension Health, the Parties agree to undertake the obligations set forth in
Section 4.6(c)
of the MPSA, which shall be applied to this Supplement,
mutatis mutandis.
For clarity, any Eligible Medical Group then-receiving EMG Services that is not divested or sold shall continue to receive EMG Services after such divestiture or sale in accordance with the terms of any applicable EMG Services Addendum. With respect to any divestiture covered under this Section, Supplier agrees to provide support relating to the winding down of legacy Ascension Health-owned accounts receivable for any divested Eligible Medical Group then-receiving EMG Services, the scope of which support shall be, on a case-by-case basis, separately negotiated and agreed by the Parties in good faith.

2.1.
|
Calculation Principles.
In addition to the principles listed in
Section 5
below, the Cost Board shall follow the methodology below in order to establish an applicable Initial EMG Cost to Collect Factor:
|
(i)
|
The “
Initial NRSC Cost to Collect Factor
” means the fraction (expressed as a percentage) representing the NRSC Cost to Collect Factor as of the completion of the NRSC Assessment, which will be calculated as follows: (i) the numerator is equal to the aggregate annual value of all costs and expenses associated with providing the Platform-Specific Services identified as part of the NRSC Assessment to the NRSC/Athena Group, as approved by the Cost Board, and otherwise normalized to account for any extraordinary costs that do not relate to the Platform-Specific Services provided to the NRSC/Athena Group during the NRSC Baseline Year or are not reasonably be expected to continue (collectively, the “
NRSC Cost to Collect Numerator
”); and (ii) the denominator is equal to the aggregate amount of Cash Collections received by the NRSC/Athena EMGs during the NRSC Baseline Year.
|
(ii)
|
The “
Initial Market Cost to Collect Factor
” means the fraction (expressed as a percentage) representing the EMG Market Cost to Collect Factor as of the completion of the Market Assessment for the NRSC/Athena EMGs in each EMG Market, which will be calculated as follows: (i) the numerator is equal to, for the EMG Market addressed in the applicable EMG Services Addendum, the aggregate annual value of all costs and expenses associated with providing the Medical Group Market Services that are identified as part of the Market Assessment, as approved by the Cost Board, and otherwise normalized to account for any extraordinary costs that do not relate to the applicable EMG Services provided during the applicable Market Baseline Year or are not reasonably be expected to continue (collectively, the “
Market Cost to Collect Numerator
”); and (ii) the denominator is equal to the Market Baseline Cash for the NRSC/Athena EMGs in such EMG Market.
|
(iii)
|
The “
Initial Epic Cost to Collect Factor
” means the fraction (expressed as a percentage) representing the Epic Cost to Collect Factor as of the completion of the Epic Assessment, which will be calculated as follows: (i) the numerator is equal to the aggregate annual value of all costs and expenses associated with providing the EMG Services identified as part of the Epic Assessment to the Epic Group, as approved by the Cost Board, and otherwise normalized to account for any extraordinary costs that do not relate to the EMG Services provided to the Epic Group during the Epic Baseline Year or are not reasonably be expected to continue (collectively, the “
Epic Cost to Collect Numerator
”); and (ii) the denominator is equal to the aggregate amount of Cash Collections received by the Eligible Medical Groups in the Epic Group during the Epic Baseline Year.
|
(iv)
|
The “
Initial Cerner Cost to Collect Factor
” means the fraction (expressed as a percentage) representing the Cerner Cost to Collect Factor as of the completion of the Cerner Assessment, which will be calculated as follows: (i) the numerator is equal to the aggregate annual value of all costs and expenses associated with providing the EMG Services identified as part of the Cerner Assessment to the Cerner Group, as approved by the Cost Board, and otherwise normalized to account for any extraordinary costs that do not relate to the EMG Services provided to the Cerner Group during the Cerner Baseline Year or are not reasonably be expected to continue (collectively, the “
Cerner Cost to Collect Numerator
”); and (ii) the denominator is equal to the aggregate amount of Cash Collections received by the Eligible Medical Groups in the Cerner Group during the Cerner Baseline Year.
|
(v)
|
The Parties agree that one-time system implementation-related costs (i.e., costs for both (1) implementing systems and (2) stabilizing operations as a result of such implementation) will be excluded from the calculation of the EMG Base Fees. The Parties acknowledge that the EMG Base Fees are intended to compensate Supplier for steady-state revenue cycle management services and will exclude extraordinary costs for substantial or non-recurring projects (e.g., system implementation). If either Party believes that there were any anomalies, significant events or other cost-generating developments (including the recurrence of non-recurring costs) during the NRSC Baseline Year, Market Baseline Year, Epic Baseline Year and/or Cerner Baseline Year (as applicable), the Parties agree to reasonably address such concerns in good faith, with escalation to the Cost Board if necessary.
|
2.2.
|
“
NRSC Cost to Collect Factor
” means the Initial NRSC Cost to Collect Factor determined by the Parties in accordance with this
Exhibit 2
, as such fraction may be adjusted if agreed by the Cost Board in accordance with
Sections 2.6
and/or

Section 5.5
)
. If a vendor is deemed not to be an In-Scope Vendor, an adjustment to the NRSC Cost to Collect Factor, the Epic Cost to Collect Factor, the Cerner Cost to Collect Factor or any EMG Market Cost to Collect Factor (as applicable) shall be made [**], and Supplier [**].
|
5.5.
|
Additional Considerations:
|
(i)
|
If a termination fee or other termination-related costs or expenses must be paid to allow for the termination or any splitting of an existing In-Scope Vendor contract, such fee will be [**].
|
(ii)
|
The allocation of one-time, lump-sum implementation and/or license fees for a particular In-Scope Vendor which are greater than or equal to [**] dollars ($[**]) will be dependent on whether or not such fees will be determined to be in or out of the applicable EMG Numerator by the Cost Board. If the Cost Board does not make such a determination, allocation of such fee shall be submitted for resolution in accordance with the governance mechanism set forth in
Exhibit 6
to the MPSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, one-time, lump-sum implementation fees less than [**] dollars ($[**]) are included in each EMG Numerator and shall be [**].

Review and Invoicing Process
|
Step 1:
|
Operating Metric Scorecards will be provided and distributed by Supplier to Ascension Health for each Applicable Phase in accordance with
Section 2.1
above by the [**] day of the month following the end of each Measurement Period.
|
Step 2:
|
Ascension Health and Supplier will have [**] days from the delivery of the Operating Metric Scorecards to review such Operating Metric Scorecards for the Applicable Phases, perform audits of Applicable Platform data as appropriate, and work to reach agreement on the Operating Metrics Scorecards for the Measurement Period. In the event that a potential error is identified in an Operating Metrics Scorecard which error may, as determined by either Party, have a material impact on the measurement of the Operating Metrics Scorecard performance for the Measurement Period, the Parties will work to identify the range of impact of the potential error and shall establish a mutually agreed upon plan to review and resolve such potential error, which error will be resolved effective retroactively as the date that the error impacted the applicable measurement. Absent exceptional circumstances, the Parties will work to resolve all such issues within [**] days of discovery of such issue.
|
Step 3:
|
Supplier will invoice Ascension Health for each Incentive Fee Payment for each Applicable Phase no later than [**] days following the end of the Measurement Period for which the EMG Incentive Fees accrued. The invoice shall not include amounts associated with unresolved potential errors identified in Step 2 above. If any Incentive Fee Payment amount is negative for any particular Measurement Period, then such amount shall be held as a credit against EMG Incentive Fees owed in future Measurement Periods.
|
Step 4:
|
Incentive Fee Payments shall be jointly reviewed quarterly by Ascension Health and Supplier promptly following the delivery of Operating Metric Scorecard results by Supplier to Ascension Health. To the extent that neither Party delivers written notice of objection to such results within [**] days following such delivery to Ascension Health, the performance results and the resulting Incentive Fee Payments shall be final and binding on the Parties.
