Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved from time to time in various disputes, claims, and legal actions, including class actions and other litigation, including the matters described below, arising in the ordinary course of business. Such actions may include allegations of negligence, product or professional liability or other legal claims, and could involve claims for substantial compensatory and punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company is also involved, from time to time, in investigations by governmental agencies regarding its business which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, or other relief. In addition, certain federal and state statutes, including the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act, allow private individuals to bring lawsuits against healthcare companies on behalf of the government or private payors. The Company has received subpoenas from time to time related to billing or other practices based on the False Claims Act or other federal and state statutes, regulations, or other laws. The Company intends to defend its current litigation matters but cannot provide any assurance as to the ultimate outcome or that an adverse resolution would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company assesses legal contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual and disclosure in its financial statements. When evaluating legal contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the proceedings may be in early stages, there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, there may be significant factual issues to be resolved, and there may be complex or novel legal theories to be presented. In addition, damages may not be specified or the damage amounts claimed may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to possible outcomes, and therefore, such amounts are not a reliable indicator of potential liability. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any material accrual for loss contingencies associated with legal proceedings or other matters or determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of legal proceedings or other matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Further, in the event that damages from an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings exceed the aggregate amount of the coverage limits of the Company’s insurance, or if the Company’s insurance carriers disclaim coverage, the amounts payable by the Company could also have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. From time to time, the Company receives recoupment requests from third-party payors for alleged overpayments. The Company disagrees with the contentions of the pending requests or has recorded an estimated reserve for the alleged overpayments. Qui Tam Lawsuit In June 2023, the Company received a civil investigative demand pursuant to the False Claims Act from the United States Department of Justice concerning whether the Company offered or paid remuneration to physicians at Carolina Urology Partners, PLLC, in exchange for referrals. The Department of Justice subsequently requested additional documentation and information during its investigation. The Company cooperated with the Department of Justice investigation, providing the documents and information requested. On January 22, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina unsealed a qui tam complaint, filed on November 3, 2022, against Carolina Urology Partners, PLLC, and certain of its current or former physician partners, and the Company and certain of its former employees, alleging violations of the False Claims Act. On January 21, 2025, after a multi-year investigation into the Company's alleged conduct, the United States declined to intervene. The Company was not aware of the complaint until after it was unsealed and the Company has not been served the complaint yet.
