Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair value of financial instruments | Fair values of financial instruments The Company measures the fair value of certain assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions (redeemable equity interests classified as temporary equity) based upon certain valuation techniques that include observable or unobservable inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing these assets, liabilities, temporary equity and commitments. The Company also classifies assets, liabilities and temporary equities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value classifications for assets, liabilities and temporary equities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020:
| Total |  | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) |  | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Investments in equity securities | $ | 41,015 |  |  | $ | 41,015 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Interest rate cap agreements | $ | 2,506 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2,506 |  |  | $ | — |

Contingent earn-out obligations | $ | 26,314 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 26,314 |
Temporary equity |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions | $ | 1,303,934 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,303,934 |
For reconciliations of changes in contingent earn-out obligations and noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, see Note 14 and the consolidated statement of equity, respectively. Investments in equity securities represent investments in various open-ended registered investment companies (mutual funds) and common stock and are recorded at fair value estimated based on reported market prices or redemption prices, as applicable. See Note 4 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Interest rate cap agreements are recorded at fair value estimated from valuation models utilizing the income approach and commonly accepted valuation techniques that use inputs from closing prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals such as current interest rates, forward yield curves, implied volatility and credit default swap pricing. The Company does not believe the ultimate amount that could be realized upon settlement of these interest rate cap agreements would be materially different from the fair value estimates currently reported. See Note 8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The estimated fair value measurements of contingent earn-out obligations are primarily based on unobservable inputs, including projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and revenue. The estimated fair value of these contingent earn-out obligations is remeasured as of each reporting date and could fluctuate based upon any significant changes in key assumptions, such as changes in the Company's credit risk adjusted rate that is used to discount obligations to present value. See Note 14 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The estimated fair value of noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions is based principally on the higher of either estimated liquidation value of net assets or a multiple of earnings for each subject dialysis partnership, based on historical earnings, revenue mix, and other performance indicators that can affect future results. The multiples used for these valuations are derived from observed ownership transactions for dialysis businesses between unrelated parties in the U.S. in recent years, and the specific valuation multiple applied to each dialysis partnership is principally determined by its recent and expected revenue mix and contribution margin. As of September 30, 2020, an increase or decrease in the weighted average multiple used in these valuations of one times EBITDA would change the estimated fair value of these noncontrolling interests by approximately $150,000. See Note 17 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 10-K for further discussion of the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of noncontrolling interests subject to put obligations. The Company's fair value estimates for its senior secured credit facilities and senior notes are based upon bid and ask quotes for these instruments, typically a level 2 input. See Note 8 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company's debt. Other financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and debt. The balances of financial instruments other than debt and lease liabilities are presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020 at their approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of their settlements.
