Leases [Abstract] |
Leases Disclosure | Leases The Company leases substantially all of its dialysis facilities. The majority of the Company’s facilities are leased under non-cancellable operating leases which range in terms from five years to 15 years and which contain renewal options of five years to 10 years at the fair rental value at the time of renewal. The Company's leases are generally subject to fixed escalation clauses or contain consumer price index increases. See Note 1 for further information on how the Company accounts for leases. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, assets recorded under finance leases were $309,363 and $322,844, respectively, and accumulated amortization associated with finance leases was $139,071 and $122,286, respectively, included in property and equipment, net, on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. In certain markets, the Company acquires and develops dialysis centers. Upon completion, the Company sells the center to a third party and leases the space back with the intent of operating the center on a long-term basis. Both the sale and leaseback terms are generally market terms. Substantially all of the lease terms are consistent with the Company's other operating leases with the majority of the leases under non-cancellable operating leases ranging in terms from 10 years to 15 years and containing renewal options of five years to 15 years at the fair rental value at the time of renewal.

Rent expense under all operating leases for 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $689,130, $692,834 and $679,815, respectively. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including leases that contain fixed escalation clauses or include abatement provisions. Leasehold improvement incentives reduce the carrying value of right-of-use assets and are amortized to rent expense over the term of the lease. Finance lease obligations are included in long-term debt. See Note 12 for further details on long-term debt.
