Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] |
Other Noncurrent liabilities and Redeemable/Noncontrolling Interests | (3) Other Noncurrent liabilities and Redeemable/Noncontrolling Interests Other noncurrent liabilities include the long-term portion of our professional and general liability, workers’ compensation reserves, pension and deferred compensation liabilities, and liabilities incurred in connection with split-dollar life insurance agreements on the lives of our chief executive officer and his wife. As of March 31, 2025, outside owners held noncontrolling, minority ownership interests of: (i) approximately 7% in an acute care facility located in Texas; (ii) 49%, 20%, 30%, 20%, 25%, and 48% in six behavioral health care facilities located in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington, Missouri, and Iowa, respectively, (iii) 26% and 49% in two behavioral health care facilities located in Michigan (one currently under construction with an expected opening in the second quarter of 2025) and; (iv) approximately 5% in an acute care facility and 49% in a surgery center, located in Nevada. The noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest balances of $87 million and $13 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2025, consist primarily of the third-party ownership interests in these hospitals. In connection with the two behavioral health care facilities located in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the minority ownership interests of which are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, the outside owners have “put options” to put their entire ownership interest to us at any time. If exercised, the put option requires us to purchase the minority member’s interest at fair market value. Accordingly, the amounts recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interests on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the estimated fair market value of these ownership interests. The minority owners of a 20% interest in a behavioral health care facility located in Pennsylvania have exercised their option to put their entire ownership interest to us. The transaction closed on April 1, 2025.
