Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in legal proceedings related to matters, which are incidental to its business. Also, the Company is delinquent on the payment of outstanding accounts payable for certain vendors and suppliers who have taken or have threatened to take legal action to collect such outstanding amounts. See below for a discussion on these matters. LITIGATIONS CPA Global provides us with certain patent management services. On February 6, 2017, CPA Global claimed that we owed approximately $0.2 million for certain patent maintenance services rendered. CPA Global has not filed claims against us in connection with this allegation. A liability of less than $0.1 million has been recorded and is reflected in accounts payable within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. On February 17, 2017, Jesse Campbell (“Campbell”) filed a lawsuit individually and on behalf of others similarly situated against us in the District Court for the District of Nebraska alleging we had a materially incomplete and misleading proxy relating to a potential merger and that the merger agreement’s deal protection provisions deter superior offers. On June 21, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation of settlement, in which defendants are released from all claims and expressly deny that that they have committed any act or omission giving rise to any liability. The stipulation includes a settlement payment of $1.95 million. On July 10, 2019, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement. During the third quarter of 2019, both the Company and its insurance company paid their respective amounts of $0.27 million and $1.68 million, respectively, to an escrow account where the funds were held until they were approved for distribution. On June 3, 2020, the Court approved the settlement and entered an order of dismissal. As of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, the escrow funds have been released and this matter is closed. LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirement, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations, as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.
