Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net | Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis and more frequently if impairment indicators are present. When testing goodwill for impairment, we may first assess qualitative factors, such as industry and market factors, cost factors, and changes in overall performance, to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. If our qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we perform the quantitative assessment. We may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units using the higher of the income approach using discounted cash flows, or the asset liquidation method. For the annual impairment test, the base year in the reporting units’ discounted cash flows is derived from the most recent annual financial budgeting cycle, for which the planning process commences in the fourth quarter of the year. When computing discounted cash flows, we make assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors, and consider what the reporting unit’s selling price would be in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Significant assumptions include financial projections of free cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations, capital requirements and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value beyond the discretely forecasted periods, and discount rates. When determining the discount rate, we consider the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit, and the expected rate an outside investor would expect to earn. The asset liquidation method is computed as total assets minus total liabilities, excluding intangible assets and liabilities. We apply the market approach for certain reporting units to reconcile the value of all of our reporting units to our consolidated market value. Under the market approach, we consider publicly traded comparable company information to determine revenue and earnings multiples which are used to estimate our reporting units’ fair values. Goodwill is impaired if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. This excess is recorded as an impairment loss, and adjusted if necessary for the impact of tax deductible goodwill. The loss recognized may not exceed the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The following table presents the changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2017. The 2017 goodwill impairment losses are recorded to the segments as indicated in following table, and reported as “Impairment losses” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

2017 Impairment Analysis Health Plans Segment On February 1, 2018, we were selected by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) to negotiate for the award of a managed care contract in only one region of Florida. That region—Region 11—comprises Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, where we currently serve 59,000 Medicaid members. As of December 31, 2017, we served approximately 360,000 Medicaid members in Florida, which represented approximately $1,486 million premium revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017. Because we expect the Florida health plan to have significantly reduced cash flows following the contract termination currently expected on December 31, 2018, its entire goodwill balance was impaired, amounting to $124 million, in the fourth quarter of 2017. In January 2018, our New Mexico health plan was notified by the New Mexico Human Services Department (HSD) that the health plan had not been selected for the tentative award of a Medicaid contract effective January 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2017, we served approximately 224,000 Medicaid members in New Mexico, which represented approximately $1,205 million premium revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017. Because we do not expect the New Mexico health plan to have cash flows following the contract termination currently expected on December 31, 2018, its entire goodwill balance was impaired, amounting to $74 million, in the fourth quarter of 2017. When we conducted the annual impairment evaluation of the goodwill of our Illinois health plan, the plan’s future cash flow projections were insufficient to produce an estimated fair value in excess of its carrying amount. This was primarily due to the Illinois health plan’s current profit profile, which does not support the purchase prices paid for certain membership acquired years ago. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of approximately $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. When we conducted the annual impairment evaluation of the goodwill of our New York health plan, the plan’s future cash flow projections were insufficient to produce an estimated fair value in excess of its carrying amount. As a result, we recorded goodwill impairment losses amounting to $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Molina Medicaid Solutions Segment As described in Note 15, “Restructuring and Separation Costs,” in the third quarter of 2017 we wrote off certain costs capitalized at our Molina Medicaid Solutions segment that supported our Health Plans segment provider information management processes. Although the intercompany revenues recorded by Molina Medicaid Solutions under this arrangement were insignificant on a consolidated basis, the termination of such revenue resulted in a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment analysis of this reporting unit in the third quarter of 2017. In the Molina Medicaid Solutions’ discounted cash flow model, we incorporated significant estimates and assumptions related to future periods, such as intercompany business support opportunities and prospects for new Medicaid management information systems contracts. Because management has determined that Molina Medicaid Solutions will provide fewer future benefits for its support of the Health Plans segment, the test resulted in a fair value less than Molina Medicaid Solutions’ carrying amount; therefore, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss for the difference, or $28 million, in the third quarter of 2017. Other Segment In the course of developing the 2017 Restructuring Plan in the second quarter of 2017, we determined that future benefits to be derived from our Pathways subsidiary, including the integration of its operations with our Health Plans segment, would be less than previously anticipated. In addition, poorer than expected year-to-date operating results, as well as lower projections of operating results for periods in the near term at our Pathways subsidiary, led us to conclude that a triggering event for an interim impairment analysis had occurred in the second quarter of 2017. Further, in the third quarter of 2017, management determined that Pathways will not provide future benefits relating to the integration of its operations with the Health Plans segment to the extent previously expected. Therefore, we conducted an additional interim impairment analysis. We estimated Pathways’ fair value using discounted cash flows, incorporating significant estimates and assumptions related to future periods. Such estimates included anticipated client census which drives service revenue; the likelihood of future benefits to be derived from Pathways (including integration with our health plans); current prospects relating to the behavioral services labor market which drives cost of service revenue; and anticipated capital expenditures. The tests in each of the quarters ended June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017, resulted in a fair value less than Pathways’ carrying amount; therefore, we recorded impairment losses for the difference. The Pathways goodwill impairment losses amounted to $101 million in the third quarter of 2017, and $59 million in the second quarter of 2017. In the second quarter of 2017, we also recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $2 million for a separate subsidiary in the Other segment. 2016 and 2015 Impairment Analysis No impairment charges relating to goodwill were recorded in the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015. Intangible Assets, Net Finite-lived, separately-identified intangible assets acquired in business combinations are assets that represent future expected benefits but lack physical substance (such as purchased contract rights and provider contracts). Intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and are then amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives, generally between five and 15 years. Our intangible assets are subject to impairment tests when events or circumstances indicate that a finite-lived intangible asset’s (or asset group’s) carrying value may not be recoverable. Consideration is given to a number of potential impairment indicators, including the ability of our health plan subsidiaries to obtain the renewal by amendment of their contracts in each state prior to the actual expiration of their contracts. However, there can be no assurance that these contracts will continue to be renewed. Following the identification of any potential impairment indicators, to determine whether an impairment exists, we would compare the carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset with the greater of the undiscounted cash flows that are expected to result from the use of the asset or related group of assets, or its value under the asset liquidation method. If it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value is recorded as an impairment. Based on the balances of our identifiable intangible assets as of December 31, 2017, we estimate that our intangible asset amortization will be $21 million in 2018, $18 million in 2019, $14 million in 2020, $5 million in 2021, and $3 million in 2022. For a presentation of our goodwill and intangible assets by reportable segment, refer to Note 20, “Segment Information.” The following table provides the details of identified intangible assets, by major class, for the periods indicated:

2017 Impairment Analysis During 2017, we noted the impairment indicators described above for the Florida health plan, New Mexico health plan, and Pathways. Health Plans Segment In the fourth quarter of 2017, prior to the goodwill impairment test noted above, we assessed the Florida health plan’s primary definite-lived intangible assets (contract rights and provider networks) for impairment, using undiscounted cash flows expected over the asset’s remaining useful life. Such undiscounted cash flows indicated impairment; therefore, the plan’s estimated fair value, determined as noted above, indicated that its carrying amount exceeded its fair value. This resulted in impairment losses of $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2017, prior to the goodwill impairment test noted above, we assessed the New Mexico health plan’s primary definite-lived intangible asset (contract rights) for impairment, using undiscounted cash flows expected over the asset’s remaining useful life. Such undiscounted cash flows indicated impairment; therefore, the plan’s estimated fair value, determined as noted above, indicated that its carrying amount exceeded its fair value. This resulted in impairment losses of $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Other Segment In the second quarter of 2017, prior to the goodwill impairment tests noted above, we assessed Pathways’ definite-lived intangible assets (customer relationships and contract licenses) for impairment, using undiscounted cash flows expected over the longest remaining useful life of the assets tested. Such undiscounted cash flows indicated impairment; therefore, Pathways’ estimated fair value, determined as noted above, indicated that its carrying amount exceeded its fair value. This resulted in impairment losses of $11 million in the second quarter of 2017. 2016 and 2015 Impairment Analysis No significant impairment charges relating to long-lived assets, including intangible assets, were recorded in the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015.
