Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies COVID-19 Pandemic On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic. The ultimate effects of the pandemic, and the duration of any such effects, including any impact to our medical care ratio (which could increase or decrease), are not known or quantifiable at this time. As of March 31, 2020, we have not experienced any significant interruptions in the services we provide, nor was there a material impact of the pandemic to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in the first quarter of 2020. Legal Proceedings The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments. Penalties associated with violations of these laws and regulations include significant fines, exclusion from participating in publicly funded programs, and the repayment of previously collected revenues. In the ordinary course of business we are involved in legal actions, some of which seek monetary damages which are not covered by insurance. We have accrued liabilities for certain matters for which we deem the loss to be both probable and reasonably estimable, but the outcome of legal actions is inherently uncertain and our estimates of such losses could be understated, and could also subsequently change as a result of further developments of these matters. For certain pending matters, accruals have not been established because we believe we are not liable or because such matters have not progressed sufficiently through discovery or factual development to enable us to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss. An adverse determination in one or more of these pending matters could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
