Other Parent Company Disclosures	NOTE 11 - HOSPITAL QUALITY ASSURANCE FEE PROGRAM In October 2009, the Governor of California signed legislation supported by the hospital industry to impose a provider fee on general acute care hospitals that, combined with federal matching funds, would be used to provide supplemental Medi-Cal payments to hospitals. The state submitted the plan to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) for a required review and approval process, and certain changes in the plan were required by CMS. Legislation amending the fee program to reflect the required changes was passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor on September 8, 2010. Among other changes, the legislation leaves distribution of “pass-through” payments received by Medi-Cal managed care plans that will be paid to hospitals under the program to the discretion of the plans. The hospital quality assurance fee program (“QAF”) created by this legislation initially provided payments for up to 21 months retroactive to April 2009 and expiring on December 31, 2010 (“2010 QAF”). During fiscal year 2011, the Company recognized $87.2 million in revenue from the state for the 2010 QAF of which $1.8 million was received in April 2011 and is reflected as a receivable in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, $378.6 of the other expenses relating to the 2010 QAF was accrued and included in other current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The $18.4 million fee-for-service portion was received prior to December 31, 2011. The managed care portion of $13.5 million is reflected as a receivable in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. The Company recorded expenses of $15.1 million for the 2011 QAF fees paid to the state and $0.8 million in other expenses relating to the 2011 QAF.
