Commitments and Contingencies Government Actions to Mitigate COVID-19’s Impact On January 31, 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) declared a national public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a disease caused by this novel coronavirus, a pandemic. This disease continues to impact the United States and other parts of the world. In recognition of the significant threat to the liquidity of financial markets posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve and Congress have taken dramatic actions to provide liquidity to businesses and the banking system in the United States. For example, on March 27, 2020, the CARES Act, a sweeping stimulus bill intended to bolster the U.S. economy, was enacted. The PPPHCE Act and the CAA both expansions of the CARES Act, were signed into law on April 24, 2020 and December 27, 2020, respectively. In total, the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act and CAA authorize $178 billion in funding to be distributed to health care providers through the Provider Relief Fund. This funding is intended to support healthcare providers by reimbursing them for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. On March 11, 2021, the ARPA was signed into law, another COVID-19 relief package with numerous provisions that affect healthcare providers, including additional funding targeted to specified healthcare providers and to improve coronavirus testing and vaccine-related activities. In addition to the Provider Relief Fund, the CARES Act and related laws include temporary changes to Medicare and Medicaid payment rules and relief from certain accounting provisions, for example temporarily lifting the Medicare sequester, which would have otherwise reduced payments to Medicare providers by 2% as required by the Budget Control Act of 2011, from May 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021 (but also extending sequestration through 2030). This Medicare sequester relief resulted in an increase of $0.1 million to home health net service revenues and $0.7 million to hospice net service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021. However, the ARPA increases the federal budget deficit in a manner that triggers an additional statutorily mandated sequestration under the Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (“PAYGO Act”). As a result, absent congressional action, Medicare spending will be reduced by up to 4 percentage points in fiscal year 2022, in addition to the existing sequestration requirements of the Budget Control Act of 2011. We cannot currently determine the extent to which our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity will ultimately be impacted by mandated sequestration triggers under the PAYGO Act. While conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have improved in recent months in the United States as vaccinations have become more widely available, it is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company as the situation continues to evolve.
