Our Level 3 assets had a fair value of $291 million, or 1.2% of total invested assets, and $218 million, or 1.0% or total invested assets, at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps We have entered into interest-rate swap agreements with major financial institutions to convert our interest-rate exposure on some of our senior notes payable from fixed rates to variable rates, based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), to align interest costs more closely with floating interest rates received on our cash equivalents and investment securities. These swap agreements were qualified and designated as a fair value hedge. Our interest rate swaps are recognized in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value as of the reporting date. Our interest rate swaps are highly effective at reflecting the fair value of our hedged fixed rate senior notes payable. We utilize market-based financing rates, forward yield curves and discount rates in determining fair value of these swaps at each reporting date, a Level 2 measure within the fair value hierarchy. The cumulative, aggregate adjustment to the carrying value of the senior notes was approximately $117 million at September 30, 2024. The swap asset, included within other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was approximately $117 million at September 30, 2024. The swap asset, included within other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $68 million at December 31, 2023. We include the gain or loss on the swap agreements in interest expense on our condensed consolidated income statement, the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related senior notes. The gain or loss due to hedge ineffectiveness was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table summarizes the notional amounts at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, for our senior notes under the swap agreements:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023

$750 million, 5.875% due March 1, 2033 | $ | 650 |  | $ | 650 |

$750 million, 5.500% due March 15, 2053 | 700 |  | 300 |

$1,000 million, 5.750% due April 15, 2054 | 400 |  | — |
Financial Liabilities Our debt is recorded at carrying value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of our senior notes debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $13.0 billion at September 30, 2024 and $10.8 billion at December 31, 2023. The fair value of our senior notes debt was $12.9 billion at September 30, 2024 and $10.6 billion at December 31, 2023. The fair value of our senior notes debt is determined based on Level 2 inputs, including quoted market prices for the same or similar debt, or if no quoted market prices are available, on the current prices estimated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Carrying value approximates fair value for our commercial paper borrowings. We had no outstanding commercial paper borrowings at September 30, 2024. The commercial paper borrowings were $0.9 billion at December 31, 2023. Put and Call Options Measured at Fair Value Our put and call options associated with our equity method investments are measured at fair value each period using a Monte Carlo simulation. The put and call options fair values associated with our Primary Care Organization strategic partnership with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, or WCAS, which are exercisable at a fixed revenue exit multiple and provide a minimum return on WCAS' investment if exercised, are measured at fair value each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation. The put and call options fair values, derived from the Monte Carlo simulation, were $742 million and $24 million, respectively, at September 30, 2024. The put and call options fair values, derived from the Monte Carlo simulation, were $595 million and $18 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023. The put liability and call asset are included within other long-term liabilities and other long-term assets, respectively, within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The significant unobservable inputs utilized in these Level 3 fair value measurements (and selected values) include the enterprise value, annualized volatility and credit spread. Enterprise value was derived from a discounted cash flow model, which utilized significant unobservable inputs for long-term revenue, to measure underlying cash flows, weighted average cost of capital and long term growth rate. The table below presents the assumptions used for each reporting period.
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |  |  |
Annualized volatility | 16.5% - 18.3% | 16.1% - 17.8% |  |  |
Credit spread | 0.8% - 1.4% | 0.9% - 1.1% |  |  |
Revenue exit multiple | 1.5x - 2.5x | 1.5x - 2.5x |  |  |
Weighted average cost of capital | 11.0% - 14.0% | 11.0% - 12.5% |  |  |
Long term growth rate | 3.0 | % | 3.0 | % |  |  |
The assumptions used for annualized volatility, credit spread and weighted average cost of capital reflect the lowest and highest values where they differ significantly across the series of put and call options due to their expected exercise dates. Other Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subject to fair value adjustment only in certain circumstances. As disclosed in Note 3, we acquired various health and wellness related businesses during 2024 and 2023. The net assets acquired and resulting goodwill and other intangible assets were recorded at fair value primarily using Level 3 inputs. The net tangible assets including receivables and accrued liabilities were recorded at their carrying value which approximated their fair value due to their short term nature. The fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets were internally estimated based primarily on the income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the present value of cash flow that the assets could be expected to generate in the future. We developed internal estimates for expected cash flows in the present value calculation using inputs and significant assumptions that include historical revenues and earnings, revenue growth rates, the amount and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, contributory asset charges and future tax rates, among others. The excess purchase price over the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. Other than the assets and liabilities acquired during 2024 and 2023, there were no other material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during 2024 and 2023. For additional information regarding our fair value measurements, refer to Note 2 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2023 Form 10-K.
