Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Accounting Principles | Accounting Principles These condensed consolidated statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in management’s opinion, are necessary, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 1, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries AMM, ApolloMed ACO, PCCM, and VMM, it’s controlling interest in Aligned Healthcare, Inc. (“AHI”), and PPC’s managed under long-term management service agreements including AMH, MMG, ACC, LALC and Hendel. Some states have laws that prohibit business entities, such as Apollo, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by physicians (collectively known as the corporate practice of medicine), or engaging in certain arrangements with physicians, such as fee-splitting. In California, we operate by maintaining long-term management service agreements with the PPC’s, which are each owned and operated by physicians, and which employ or contract with additional physicians to provide hospitalist services. Under the management agreements, we provide and perform all non-medical management and administrative services, including financial management, information systems, marketing, risk management and administrative support. The management agreements typically have an initial term of 20 years unless terminated by either party for cause. The management agreements are not terminable by the PMC’s, except in the case of gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by Apollo, or bankruptcy of Apollo. Through the management agreements and our relationship with the stockholders of the PPC’s, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of the PPC’s. Consequently, we consolidate the revenue and expenses of the PPCs from the date of execution of the management agreements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue consists of contracted and fee-for-service revenue. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are rendered. Our revenue is principally derived from the provision of healthcare staffing services to patients within healthcare facilities. The form of billing and related risk of collection for such services may vary by customer. The following is a summary of the principal forms of our billing arrangements and how net revenue is recognized for each. Contracted revenue represents revenue generated under contracts for which we provide physician and other healthcare staffing and administrative services in return for a contractually negotiated fee. Contract revenue consists primarily of billings based on hours of healthcare staffing provided at agreed-to hourly rates. Revenue in such cases is recognized as the hours are worked by our staff and contractors. Additionally, contract revenue also includes supplemental revenue from hospitals where we may have a fee-for-service contract arrangement or provide physician advisory services to the medical staff at a specific facility. Contract revenue for the supplemental billing in such cases is recognized based on the terms of each individual contract. Such contract terms generally either provides for a fixed monthly dollar amount or a variable amount based upon measurable monthly activity, such as hours staffed, patient visits or collections per visit compared to a minimum activity threshold. Such supplemental revenues based on variable arrangements are usually contractually fixed on a monthly, quarterly or annual calculation basis considering the variable factors negotiated in each such arrangement. Such supplemental revenues are recognized as revenue in the period when such amounts are determined to be fixed and therefore contractually obligated as payable by the customer under the terms of the respective agreement. Additionally, we derive a portion of our revenue as a contractual bonus from collections received by our partners and such revenue is contingent upon the collection of third-party billings. These revenues are not considered earned and therefore not recognized as revenue until actual cash collections are achieved in accordance with the contractual arrangements for such services. Fee-for-service revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which we bill and collect the professional component of charges for medical services rendered by our contracted and employed physicians. Under the fee-for-service arrangements, we bill patients for services provided and receive payment from patients or their third-party payers. Fee-for-service revenue is reported net of contractual allowances and policy discounts. All services provided are expected to result in cash flows and are therefore reflected as net revenue in the financial statements. Fee-for-service revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered to specific patients and reduced immediately for the estimated impact of contractual allowances in the case of those patients having third-party payer coverage. The recognition of net revenue (gross charges less contractual allowances) from such visits is dependent on such factors as proper completion of medical charts following a patient visit, the forwarding of such charts to our billing center for medical coding and entering into our billing system and the verification of each patient’s submission or representation at the time services are rendered as to the payer(s) responsible for payment of such services. Revenue is recorded based on the information known at the time of entering of such information into our billing systems as well as an estimate of the revenue associated with medical services. The Company through its subsidiary, ApolloMed ACO, participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”) sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The MSSP allows ACO participants to share in cost savings it generates in connection with rendering medical services to Medicare patients. Payments to ACO participants, if any, will be calculated by CMS on cost savings generated by the ACO participant based on a trailing 24 month medical service history. The MSSP is a newly formed program with no history of payments to ACO participants. The Company considers revenue, if any, under the MSSP, as contingent upon the realization of program savings as determined by CMS, and are not considered earned and therefore are not recognized as revenue until cash payments from CMS are received. For the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded no revenue related to the MSSP.
Concentrations | Concentrations The Company had two major customers during the three months ended October 31, 2013 which contributed 15.4% and 15.0% of net revenues, respectively, and had three major customers during the three months ended October 31, 2012 which contributed 20.8%, 6.3% and 4.2% of net revenues, respectively. The Company had two major customers during the nine months ended October 31, 2013 which contributed 16.3% and 15.5% of net revenues, respectively, and had three major customers during the nine months ended October 31, 2012 which contributed 24.0%, 7.7% and 4.9% of revenue, respectively. The Company had two major customers that contributed 16.2% and 9.7% of accounts receivable, respectively, as of October 31, 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our accounting for Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels: Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Non-controlling Interest | Non-controlling Interest The non-controlling interest recorded in our consolidated financial statements represents the pre-acquisition equity of those PPC’s in which we have determined that we have a controlling financial interest and for which consolidation is required as a result of management contracts entered into with these entities. The nature of these contracts provide us with a monthly management fee to provide the services described above, and as such, the only adjustments to non-controlling interests in any period subsequent to initial consolidation would relate to either capital contributions or withdrawals by the non-controlling parties. Activity within non-controlling interest for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 consisted of the following:
Balance as of January 31, 2013 |  | $ | (36,503) |
Stock-based compensation |  |  | 9,475 |
Distributions to non-controlling interest shareholder |  |  | (240,000) |
Balance as of October 31, 2013 |  | $ | (267,028) |
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share | Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during a certain period, and is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, using the as-if converted method for secured convertible notes, and the treasury stock method for options and warrants. The following table sets forth the number of shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
|  | Three months ended October 31, |  | Nine months ended October 31, |
|  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |
Incremental shares assumed issued on exercise of in the money options |  |  | 4,373,687 |  |  | - |  |  | 4,547,125 |  |  | - |
Incremental shares assumed issued on exercise of in the money warrants |  |  | 1,428,067 |  |  | 798,743 |  |  | 1,535,402 |  |  | 377,141 |
|  |  | 5,801,754 |  |  | 798,743 |  |  | 6,082,526 |  |  | 377,141 |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying fiscal year 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform them to the fiscal year 2014 presentation.
