Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Equity method and other investments | Equity method and other investments Equity investments in nonconsolidated businesses over which the Company maintains significant influence, but which do not have readily determinable fair values, are carried on the equity method. The Company maintains equity method and minor adjusted cost method investments in the private securities of certain other healthcare and healthcare-related businesses. The Company classifies these investments as "Equity method and other investments" on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company's equity method and other investments were comprised of the following:
| March 31, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
APAC joint venture | $ | 125,062 |  |  | $ | 129,173 |
Other equity method partnerships | 88,861 |  |  | 83,052 |
Adjusted cost method investments | 12,386 |  |  | 12,386 |
| $ | 226,309 |  |  | $ | 224,611 |
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized equity investment income of $2,708 and $155, respectively, from equity method investments in nonconsolidated businesses. The Company's largest equity method investment is its ownership interest in DaVita Care Pte. Ltd. (the APAC joint venture, or APAC JV). The Company's other equity method investments include legal entities for which the Company maintains significant influence but over which it does not have a controlling financial interest. Almost all of these are U.S. partnerships in the form of limited liability companies. The Company's ownership interests in these partnerships vary, but typically range from 30% to 50%. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there have been no meaningful impairments or other valuation adjustments recognized on these investments.
