Item 1. Business.
Overview
ModivCare Inc. ("ModivCare" or the "Company") is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for payors and their members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health, or SDoH, connect members to care, help health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation, or NEMT, personal care, and remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transportation management. Additionally, its personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including senior citizens and disabled adults. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring services include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. ModivCare is further expanding its offerings to include meal delivery and working with communities to provide meals to food-insecure individuals.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand (“Matrix”). Matrix, which is included in our Corporate and Other segment, maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services, and a fleet of mobile health clinics that provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities and enhanced care options.

Our Strategies
ModivCare has grown from a stand-alone NEMT provider to a company with a comprehensive supportive care platform focused on SDoH. Our services include NEMT, personal care and remote patient monitoring. Throughout this phase of growth, our strategy has evolved toward a vision of One ModivCare. This strategy emphasizes our focus on alignment across all of our supportive care services that will help us align best practices, drive scale and efficiencies, and standardize processes to ensure the best experience for our members and customers. ModivCare is focused on aligning our people, processes, and technology for each business segment while integrating data across our point solutions to better serve our members.
ModivCare is focused on execution, growth, and results. To highlight a couple of strategic initiatives in our business segments:
•NEMT – our partnership model is focused on narrowing our network of transportation providers to ensure we provide our partners with a guaranteed number of trips in exchange for high quality service and on-time performance. Our multi-modal strategy ensures that members receive the most appropriate ride, whether it is a standard sedan, ride-share, public transit, or a family member receiving mileage reimbursement. Our focus is to make sure our members have the best transportation experience tailored to each of our members' individualized transportation needs.
•Personal Care – our team is focused on integrating, centralizing, and standardizing non-clinical functions and certain operational processes into repeatable processes across our network of personal care offices. This strategy will empower and enable caregivers to focus on providing high quality services to members and leverage their time to improve recruiting and retention efforts. Another aspect of our workforce development is capturing feedback through our caregiver advisory council, as well as providing a multi-benefit menu, which includes same-day pay, enhanced healthcare benefits, and cell phone assistance, to further enhance retention.
•Remote Patient Monitoring – our monitoring team is focused on gaining market share through enhanced selling initiatives and leveraging our long-standing relationships with payors to have enterprise-wide discussions at the highest level. We will continue to innovate and invest in technology to maintain our industry leading position in remote patient monitoring.
Technology Enhancements
Transportation related to care is one of the most impactful experiences contributing to our members’ satisfaction during their care encounter. At the core of our operational and technological strategies is a focus on driving member satisfaction. Our Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) software continues to enhance our member experience by providing real-time visibility into trip status, optimized routing, and automated billing and trip assignments. Our technology platform and continued enhancements reduce inbound calls from members looking for assistance on the location of the transportation provider, improve on-time percentages, enhance member satisfaction, and reduce costs while increasing efficiency. Specifically, our platform and continuous technology improvements provide opportunities for revenue growth and reduced costs as well as the following additional benefits:
•member communications through texting, email and automated calls, including the ability for the member to see the location of the transportation provider in real time on a mobile device;
•optimized routing from industry-leading ATMS software;
•automated trip assignments allowing for proactive management for rejected, canceled and late rides;
•automated billing allowing for more precise and timely mileage logs and service outcomes; and
•driver application enhancements for transportation providers.
With respect to our Personal Care segment, process improvements, augmented by technology, are expected to help reduce costs while maintaining quality and compliant patient care. In addition, we strive to become the employer of choice in each of our Personal Care segment markets. Our scale and density in these markets allow us to provide the number of weekly work hours our caregivers desire, which gives us a competitive advantage in recruitment and retention of caregivers that might otherwise need to work for several agencies to obtain the desired number of work hours. With respect to the RPM segment, the suite of technology-enabled in-home solutions provides improved patient outcomes with peace-of-mind support and reduced costs to payers which drives value and deepens our engagement with members. Greater access to real time information, enabled through our technology, provides us the ability to shorten cycle times to help identify and resolve client and member issues.
Organic Growth
•NEMT Segment. Across the healthcare market, we see an increasing understanding of the benefit of removing transportation as a barrier to care and a way to improve other determinants of health, such as access to food, shelter, socialization, and pharmacy. We believe that our scale, deep experience, operational strategy, and technology tools
uniquely position us to address member needs related to access to transportation for vulnerable populations. We approach sales, marketing and business development in a manner that is focused on driving market share in our core Medicaid market, including states and MCOs, Medicare Advantage plans, health systems and providers. Simultaneously, we target business development efforts with partners to enter new transportation markets, including the movement of home health providers, pharmacy delivery and beneficiaries of workers compensation. We expect there will be network effects as we serve more and more healthcare constituencies within a geography.
•Personal Care Segment. We intend to continue to grow in our existing markets for personal care services by:
◦increasing recruiting and expanding our caregiver workforce;
◦developing and retaining our caregivers;
◦delivering consistent and reliable quality of care;
◦leveraging and expanding existing payor and referral source relationships; and
◦strategic de novo sites to increase density and scale.
Our business development activities in this area include community outreach in each of our markets, where we educate referral sources about the benefits of personal care services and the programs available to patients. We believe that demographic trends such as an aging population and longer life expectancies will increase the size of our addressable market, and that the demand for in-home personal care will further increase because it is the lowest cost setting and therefore preferred by payors and also by patients, who also tend to prefer their own homes over institutional settings. We also believe that the carve-in of personal care into Medicare Advantage plans provides further opportunity for organic growth. As one of the largest platforms providing in-home personal care, we differentiate our services by providing broad geographic coverage in both urban and rural areas and the capability to offer a broad suite of services and manage complex cases involving high-needs patients. In addition, we are working with MCOs and other payors to lower overall cost of care and improve outcomes by managing risk factors, such as falls, and using technology solutions to provide early indicators of change in condition to avoid hospitalization. With these capabilities, we strive to be the provider of choice for in-home personal care services and intend to continue differentiating our services from the competition and winning market share by relying on strong regional leadership, clinical capabilities, qualified and well-trained caregivers and investment in technology.
•RPM Segment. We see the opportunity for remote patient monitoring services, which include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring, medication adherence solutions, and integrated data reporting and analytics, to provide an alternative to costly existing healthcare solutions, which can be obtained in the safety and comfort of our members' homes. We believe that there is a natural untapped market with considerable growth opportunities that we can reach by cross-selling into our existing relationships with Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans and marketing the reduced cost of providing coverage for remote monitoring solutions while also resulting in improved patient outcomes and enhanced patient engagement and experience. Further, we believe that demographic trends such as the aging population and increasing prevalence of chronic illness increase the addressable market to support patients that demand in-home solutions where they are able to maintain their independence and avoid long-term care facilities, preventable emergency room use, hospitalization, and hospital readmission. Along with the demographic trends, structural changes in the healthcare industry driven by the pandemic have accelerated the shift to virtual healthcare solutions and highlighted the efficiencies and cost effectiveness of providing virtual health solutions. By addressing this sizable market that is expected to increase with the shift in the demographic trends and structural changes in the industry toward value-based solutions, we also see an opportunity to address additional payors in order to provide awareness of the benefits of remote monitoring solutions in order to expand the number of payors that offer coverage for this solution and expand our geographic span as we strive to be the provider of choice for remote patient monitoring services.
Inorganic Growth
•NEMT Segment. We believe our experience, relationships in the industry, scale and executive team strongly position us to be a consolidator in healthcare transportation. Our acquisition strategy may include an evaluation of new entrants, which may not be able to otherwise compete without the benefits of scale and experience, and closely-held businesses that may seek a new capital structure or sale to achieve liquidity for founders. With our balance sheet, strong team and track record, we believe we are a natural consolidator.
•Personal Care Segment. We believe there is a significant opportunity for continued growth through acquisition in both new and existing personal care services markets. The personal care services industry is highly fragmented, and smaller competitors are finding it increasingly difficult to compete as payors look to narrow their provider networks and contract with providers of scale that can offer a wide breadth of services and capabilities across a broad geographic
area. Moreover, smaller competitors may not have the capital to invest in technology and lack the market density to attract caregivers. We will continue to explore opportunities to acquire regional providers to enter into new markets, and tuck-in acquisitions to grow our presence in existing markets, as well as to branch out into adjacent businesses.
•RPM Segment. We believe there are opportunities for growth through acquisitions in the remote patient monitoring market. The remote patient monitoring industry is highly fragmented, and we believe that our scale and healthcare-centric platform provide us with the ability to acquire companies in new markets and regions and expand our breadth of operations. Technological innovation is also a critical component of the industry’s growth. We believe that our technology agnostic platform allows us to efficiently acquire companies that offer newer technologies and service offerings that we can leverage to accelerate our existing technology and offerings. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the RPM segment to supplement our growth going forward.
Strategic Capital Allocation
We seek to manage and allocate capital in a way that creates value and supports the execution of our business strategy. The operations of our respective business segments contribute the primary source of capital to the Company supplemented by any issuances by the Company in the capital markets. Our NEMT segment has continued to generate strong revenue growth for the Company. Further, our Personal Care segment has shown consistent revenue growth, a strong free cash flow profile, and maintains an asset-light model. Our RPM segment has also contributed to our continued growth with positive cash flows and strong profit margin. With all of our segments operating collectively, our combined balance sheet provides us with optionality with respect to capital allocation and how we can best deliver stockholder value. We will continue to focus on operational efficiencies by investing in platforms that streamline our operations and seek to enhance our technical capabilities through technological initiatives in an effort to enhance our client and member experience. With respect to our Personal Care segment, we are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of our member care by dedicating appropriate resources at each site and continuing to refine our clinical and non-clinical initiatives and objectives. We are implementing technology enhancements and service protocols intended to promote best practices, enhance the member experience, and improve the operating effectiveness and efficiency of our case management, training, staffing, scheduling and labor management. We will also continue to assess the opportunities for capital deployment in order to create value for stockholders, which may include dividends, share repurchases and acquisitions.
Our Operations
We are a technology-enabled, healthcare services company that is the nation’s largest manager of NEMT programs for state governments and MCOs, a leading in-home personal care services provider in the seven eastern states where we provide those services, and a leading provider of remote patient monitoring and medication management solutions. Our core competencies in NEMT include contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transport management. Our in-home personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and skilled nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities, including senior citizens and disabled adults. Our RPM services include provision of personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring, medication management, and data-driven patient engagement solutions.
By offering our suite of integrated supportive care solutions for our payors and members, we are focused on becoming among the nation’s preeminent SDoH companies and delivering better care in the home, enhancing patient lives, and reducing healthcare costs. We report our operations as described above under four separate business segments: NEMT; Personal Care; RPM; and Corporate and Other, each of which is described below in greater detail following the next subsection captioned “Business Trends”.
Business Trends
Our performance is affected by a number of trends that drive the demand for our services. In particular, the markets in which we operate are exposed to various trends, such as healthcare industry and demographic dynamics. Over the long term, we believe there are numerous factors that could affect growth within the industries in which we operate, including:
•an aging population, which is expected to increase demand for healthcare services and, as a result, increase the demand for transportation to healthcare sites as well as the demand for in-home personal care services and remote monitoring;
•a movement towards value-based care and budget pressure on governments, both of which may increase the use of private corporations to provide necessary and innovative services;
•increasing demand for in-home care provision, driven by cost pressures on traditional reimbursement models, and increasing desire for individuals to "age-in-place", and technological advances enabling remote engagement;
•technological advancements, which may be utilized by us to improve services and lower costs, but may also be utilized by others, which may increase industry competitiveness;
•an acceleration in the movement of care from higher-cost acute and post-acute sites to lower-cost non-acute sites including an increased demand for home-based services and virtual care as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
•MCO, Medicaid and Medicare plans increasingly are covering NEMT services for a variety of reasons, including increased access to care, improved patient compliance with treatment plans, social trends, and to promote social determinants of health, and this trend may be accelerated or reinforced by the adoption of The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 ("H.R.133"), a component of which mandates that state Medicaid programs ensure that Medicaid beneficiaries have necessary transportation to and from health care providers.
Each year, millions of Medicaid members are estimated to miss out on medical care due to lack of transportation. NEMT solutions enable access to care that not only improves the quality of life and health of the patients receiving services, but also enable many of the individuals to pursue independent living in their homes rather than in more expensive institutional care settings. In addition, studies have shown that missed medical appointments lessen patient compliance with clinical guidelines and lead to increased complications and expensive medical services. Moreover, preventive care has proven to lower the cost of overall care by avoiding potentially more serious, costly emergent services later. NEMT providers also cater to individuals with specialized transportation requirements.
The U.S. personal care services market also benefits from the strong underlying trends of aging demographics and a shift toward value-based care, which is moving care away from more expensive institutional settings and into the home. Many consumers in this segment need services on a long-term basis to address chronic conditions. Payors establish their own eligibility standards, determine the type, amount, duration and scope of services, and establish the applicable reimbursement rate in accordance with applicable law, regulations or contracts. By providing services in the home to the elderly and others who require long-term care and support with the activities of daily living, personal care service providers lower the cost of treatment by delaying or eliminating the need for care in more expensive settings, such as nursing homes that we believe can cost greater than two times more than equivalent personal care services. In addition, caregivers observe and report changes in the condition of patients for the purpose of facilitating early intervention in the disease process, which often reduces the cost of medical services by preventing unnecessary emergency room visits and/or hospital admissions and re-admissions. By providing care in the preferred setting of the home and by providing opportunities to improve the patient’s conditions and allow early intervention as indicated, personal care also is designed to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Personal care services are a significant component of home and community-based services, which have grown in significance and demand in recent years. Demand for personal care services is expected to continue to grow due to the aging of the U.S. population, increased life expectancy and improved opportunities for individuals to receive home-based care as an alternative to institutional care. The population of those aged 65 years and older nationally has been consistently growing and the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that starting in 2030, when all baby boomers will be older than 65 years, Americans 65 years and older will make up 20.6% of the population, up from 17.3% based on current statistics.
The personal care services industry developed in a highly fragmented manner, with few large participants and many small ones. Few companies have a significant market share across multiple regions or states. We expect ongoing consolidation within the industry, driven by the desire of payors to narrow their networks of service providers, and as a result of the industry’s increasingly complex regulatory, operating and technology requirements. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on a consolidating industry given our reputation in the market, strong payor relationships and integration of technology into our business model.
Similar to personal care services, remote patient monitoring services support the shift toward value-based care as they provide patient self-management and care management operations which support and enable seniors, the chronically ill, and persons with disabilities to maintain their independence and avoid long-term care facilities, preventable emergency room use, hospitalization, and hospital readmission. With the increasing population of Americans 65 and older and the significant increase in the occurrence of chronic diseases, for which elderly patients are more prone to contracting, demand for at-home care solutions in lieu of costly doctor visits and institutional care will continue to grow. This is further driven by structural changes that have occurred in the healthcare industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic toward virtual healthcare solutions. As remote patient monitoring has continued to grow in popularity, this has supported the underlying trend showing increased desire of seniors and individuals to "age-in-place" while also receiving a comparable standard of care.
Remote patient monitoring also provides the ability to leverage the data analytics obtained in order to produce actionable insights to drive proactive patient interventions which is especially valuable given the growing occurrence of chronic illness. Currently, 60.0% of adults in the U.S. have one reported chronic health condition with 40.0% of adults in the U.S. reporting two or more. Chronic disease is a disease that is persistent or long-lasting and includes heart disease, cancer, and diabetes which are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. These conditions require ongoing and active management and the use of RPM can work to manage symptoms and keep costs for individuals lower in the long-term. RPM
services allow patients to monitor symptoms from home which decreases the strain on hospitals that have capacity constraints and ensures continued care and interaction with patients. This tech-enabled healthcare solution is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurers that set eligibility criteria and establish reimbursement rates in accordance with applicable law, regulations or contracts and has gained significant traction during the COVID-19 pandemic where patients and providers were able to experience the value of remote health solutions while increasing patient experience and retention. This solution has many facets and we believe we are well positioned as the preeminent leader in providing solutions to address the social determinants of health that will work in tandem to increase payor and member value across our holistic suite of solutions.
NEMT Segment
We provide NEMT solutions to our members after obtaining contracts with our clients, including state governments, MCOs and health systems, in 50 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 34.8 million eligible members received our transportation services, and in 2022, we managed approximately 54.7 million gross trips.
We primarily contract with state Medicaid programs and MCOs, including Medicare Advantage plans, for the coordination of their members’, who are our “end-users”, NEMT needs. Our end-users are typically Medicaid or Medicare eligible members, whose limited mobility or financial resources hinder their ability to access necessary healthcare and social services. We believe our transportation services enable access to care, as well as access to meals, shelter, socialization, and pharmacy, that not only improve the quality of life and health of the populations we serve, but also enables many of the individuals we serve to pursue independent living in their homes rather than in more expensive institutional care settings. We provide access to NEMT on a more cost-effective basis than self-administered state Medicaid or MCO transportation programs while improving the lives and health outcomes of the populations we serve.
To fulfill the transportation needs of our end-users, we apply our proprietary technology platform to an extensive network of approximately 5,500 transportation resources. This includes our in-network roster of fully contracted third-party transportation providers who operate sedans, wheelchair equipped vehicles, multi-passenger vans and ambulances. Our system also utilizes relationships with on-demand transportation network companies, mass transit entities, mileage reimbursement programs, taxis and county-based emergency medical service providers. To promote safety, quality and compliance, our in‑network transportation providers undergo an in-depth credentialing and education process.
Our transportation management services also include fraud, waste, and abuse prevention and identification through utilization review programs designed to monitor that our transportation services are provided in compliance with Medicaid and Medicare program rules and regulations as well as to remediate issues that are identified. Compliance controls include ongoing monitoring, auditing and remediation efforts, such as validating end-user eligibility for the requested date of service and employing a series of gatekeeping questions to verify that the treatment type is covered and the appropriate mode of transportation is assigned. We also conduct post-trip confirmations of attendance directly with the healthcare providers for certain repetitive trips, and we employ field monitors to inspect transportation provider vehicles and to observe transports in real time. Our claims validation process generally limits payment to trips that are properly documented, have been authorized in advance, and are billed at the pre-trip estimated amount. Our claims process is increasingly digital, which provides more protection to member protected health information and reduces the impact on the environment. Transportation providers are able to submit their bills and supporting documentation directly to us through a secured web portal.
Contracts with state Medicaid agencies are typically for three to five years with multiple renewal options. Contracts with MCOs continue until terminated by either party upon reasonable notice in accordance with the terms of the contract and allow for regular price adjustments based upon utilization and transportation cost. As of December 31, 2022, 30.5% of NEMT segment revenue was generated under state Medicaid contracts that are subject to renewal within the next 12 months. While we typically expect to renew these contracts as they approach their term, we may receive notice from customers that they are terminating or not renewing their contracts upon expiration.
The NEMT segment generated 87.8% of its revenue in 2022 under capitated contracts. Under capitated contracts, payors pay a fixed amount per eligible member. We assume the responsibility of meeting the covered healthcare related transportation requirements based on per-member per-month fees for the number of eligible members in the customer’s program. Revenue is recognized based on the population served during the period. Certain capitated contracts have provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates. For contracts with reconciliation provisions, capitation payment is received as a prepayment during the month service is provided. These prepayments are periodically reconciled based on actual cost and/or trip volume and may result in refunds to the customer, or additional payments due from the customer. Contracts with risk corridor or profit rebate provisions allow for profit within a certain corridor and once we reach profit level thresholds or maximums, we discontinue recognizing revenue and instead record a liability within the accrued contract payable account. This liability may be reduced through future increases in trip volume or periodic settlements with the customer. While a profit rebate
provision could only result in a liability from this profit threshold, a risk corridor provision could potentially result in receivables if the Company does not reach certain profit minimums, which would be recorded in the reconciliation contract receivables account.
The remaining 12.2% of NEMT segment revenue was generated under other types of fee arrangements, including administrative services only and fee-for-service ("FFS"), under which fees are generated based upon billing rates for specific services or defined membership populations. Revenue under FFS contracts represents revenue earned under non-capitated contracts in which we bill and collect a specified amount for each service that we provide. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances.
•Customers. In 2022, contracts with state Medicaid agencies and MCOs represented 100.0% of NEMT segment revenue. The NEMT segment does not derive any of its revenue from private pay or other contracts. The NEMT segment derived approximately 10.9%, 9.7% and 9.5% of its revenue from a single state Medicaid agency for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The next four largest NEMT segment customers by revenue comprised in the aggregate approximately 19.8%, 17.7% and 21.6% of NEMT segment revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
•Development Efforts and New Product Offerings. The delivery of our NEMT program is dependent upon a highly integrated platform of technology and business processes as well as the management of a multifaceted network of third-party transportation providers. Our technology platform is purpose-built for the unique needs of our industry and is highly scalable; capable of supporting substantial growth in our clients’ current and future membership base. In addition, our technology platform efficiently provides a broad interconnectivity among end-users, customers, and our network of transportation providers. We believe this technological capability and our industry experience position us well as a leader in the evolving healthcare industry to introduce valuable population insights. We also believe that it will enable us to deliver to our customers and end-users a single repeatable model that standardizes our offerings and is more customer-centric across each contact center. We provide service offerings and technological features for end-users to improve service levels, lower costs and build the foundation for additional data analytics capabilities. We are continuing to implement a modern, cloud based, interactive, voice responsive automated call distribution and work force management system across all contact centers. Our technology also allows for real time notifications to members on their mobile devices, integration with a wide variety of ATMS and transportation network companies, real time ride tracking, network management and analytics.
•Competition. We compete with a variety of national organizations that provide similar healthcare and social services related to transportation, such as Medical Transportation Management, Southeastrans, and Access2Care, as well as local and regional providers. Most local competitors seek to win contracts for specific counties or small geographic territories, whereas we and other larger competitors seek to win contracts for an entire state or large regional area. We compete based upon a number of factors, including our nationwide network, technical expertise, experience, service capability, service quality, and price.
•Seasonality. Our quarterly operating income and cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business, principally due to lower transportation demand during the winter season and higher demand during the summer season.
Personal Care Segment
We provide in-home personal care services to our customers with agency branches across various states, including in several of the nation’s largest home care markets: New York, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, West Virginia and Connecticut. We place non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and skilled nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including persons who are at increased risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill or disabled senior citizens and disabled adults. Our personal care services include bathing, personal hygiene, grooming, oral care, dressing, medication reminders, meal planning, preparation and feeding, housekeeping, transportation services, prescription reminders, and assistance with dressing and ambulation, all of which enable aging-in-place and support overall wellness. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 15,600 trained caregivers throughout all of our branch locations serving, on average, approximately 23,300 patients and providing approximately 26.9 million hours of patient care annually.
Our Personal Care segment payor clients include federal, state and local governmental agencies, MCOs, commercial insurers and private individuals. The federal, state and local programs under which these organizations operate are subject to legislative, budgetary and other risks that can influence reimbursement rates. MCOs that operate as an extension of our
government payors are subject to similar economic pressures. Our commercial insurance payor clients are continuously seeking opportunities to control costs.
Most of our personal care services are provided pursuant to agreements with state and local governmental aging services agencies, Medicaid waiver programs, and home and community based long-term living programs. These agreements generally have an initial term of one to two years and may be terminated with 60 days’ notice. They are typically renewed in our experience for one to five-year terms, provided that we have complied with licensing, certification and program standards, and other regulatory requirements.
Reimbursement rates and methods vary by state and type of service, but are typically fee-for-service based on hourly or other unit-of-service bases. MCOs are becoming an increasing portion of our Personal Care segment payor mix as states shift from administering FFS programs to utilizing managed care models.
•Customers. In 2022, contracts with state Medicaid agencies and MCOs represented approximately 94.9% of Personal Care segment revenue, with the remaining revenue derived from private pay and other contracts. The Personal Care segment derived approximately 12.0% and 11.7% of its revenue from a single state Medicaid agency for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The next four largest Personal Care segment customers by revenue comprised in the aggregate approximately 29.6% and 27.8% of segment revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively
•Development Efforts and New Product Offerings. We do not deploy proprietary technology in our Personal Care segment, but we have invested in the implementation of several enterprise technology solutions including Homecare Software Solutions, LLC, which operates under the HHAeXchange brand and which we refer to as “HHAeXchange”, and Celltrak, among others. These solutions manage compliance, scheduling, electronic visit verification (EVV), caregiver payroll and the revenue cycle. HHAeXchange has been deployed for the majority of our Personal Care segment business, and additional functionality is being implemented, including “Stop & Watch” monitoring of change in patient condition, care plan reporting via EVV, mobile application self‑service and others. The three MCOs in Pennsylvania selected HHAeXchange to collect confirmed homecare visits, create claims to MCOs and provide workflow efficiency tools, enabling interoperability between our Personal Care segment operations and the three Pennsylvania MCOs. Celltrak is deployed in New Jersey for EVV in support of assisting with time card verification. In addition to these technology solutions, we continue to identify new technologies that we can invest in to further unify our Personal Care segment across one streamlined technology platform. Additionally, we have implemented the Relias e-learning solutions in select operations, and we continue to roll out the application throughout the segment. Relias e-learning solutions enables required training to be delivered remotely and helps improve utilization by reducing time lost for training.
•Competition. The personal care services industry in which we operate is highly competitive and fragmented. Providers range from facility-based agencies (e.g., day health centers, live-in facilities, government agencies) to independent home care companies. They can be not-for-profit organizations or for-profit organizations. There are relatively few barriers to entry in some of the home healthcare services markets in which we operate. We believe, however, that we have a favorable competitive position, attributable mainly to:
◦the consistently high quality and targeted services we have provided over the years to our patients;
◦our ability to serve complex, high-needs patient populations;
◦our scale and density in the markets we serve;
◦our strong relationships with payors and referral sources; and
◦our investments in technology.
•Seasonality. Our quarterly operating income and cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business, principally due to somewhat lower demand for in-home services from caregivers during the summer and periods with major holidays, as patients may spend more time with family and less time alone needing outside care during those periods. Our payroll expense in the Personal Care segment is also generally higher during the earlier quarters of the year prior to employees reaching the applicable thresholds for certain payroll taxes, and during periods with major holidays resulting from holiday pay rates.
Remote Patient Monitoring Segment
We provide remote patient monitoring services to support patient self-management and care management operations that enable seniors, the chronically ill, and persons with disabilities to maintain their independence and avoid long‐term care facilities, preventable emergency room use, hospitalization, and hospital readmission. Services include personal emergency
response systems, vitals monitoring, medication adherence solutions, and integrated data reporting and analytics. With high-touch engagement, the RPM segment has several million annual person-to-person interactions over a population of approximately 236,000 actively monitored health plan members.
We market our RPM services to national and regional health plans, government funded benefit programs, healthcare provider organizations, and individuals. Our commercial insurance payor clients are continuously seeking opportunities to control costs.
◦Customers. The Company serves approximately 236,000 national and regional health plans, government-funded benefit programs, and healthcare provider organizations members, and individuals across the country. We have a diverse base of customers across multiple end markets including Medicare Advantage, State and Managed Medicaid, and Health Systems or Distributors.
◦Development Efforts and New Product Offerings. Our device-agnostic technology platform allows our RPM segment to rapidly adopt and seamlessly integrate new products as hardware innovation continues across the industry. Currently, the Company is contracted with over 30 manufacturers and integrated across more than 200 devices. The RPM segment continuously evaluates new products, integrating over 10 devices annually and with rapid onboarding, the Company averages only 30 days to integrate a new product or technology and deploy it in the field.
◦Competition. We compete with a variety of RPM solution providers that include both new entrants to the healthcare industry and legacy healthcare providers. Top providers include Medtronic, Philips Healthcare, Dexcom, and Honeywell Life Sciences. Given the rapidly changing technology that supports the health-tech industry, any Company that is able to innovate and provide a more efficient and effective solution could enter the RPM market, however there are significant barriers to entry, including long contracting and licensing timeframes, multiple compliance audits necessitating numerous internal tracking systems and complicated reimbursement processes and rules.
Corporate and Other Segment
Our Corporate and Other segment supports the strategic objectives and continued growth of the ModivCare business and includes the activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and corporate development functions for each segment. The Corporate and Other segment also includes the operating results of the our non-controlling equity interest in Matrix Medical Network ("Matrix"). Prior to our segment reorganization, we reported our investment in Matrix as a separate operating segment. Based on how our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") now views the business and relative size of the investment, it was determined that these results are reviewed in conjunction with the other corporate results of the business that are not attributable to one of the three operating segments. Our Corporate and Other segment operations support the Company's vision to operate as "One ModivCare" and align our people, processes, and technology across each business segment in order to better serve our members and have a positive impact on closing certain health gaps and addressing the social determinants of health.
Governmental Regulations
Overview
Our business is subject to numerous U.S. federal, state and local laws, regulations and agency guidance. These laws significantly affect the way in which we operate various aspects of our business. We must also comply with state and local licensing requirements, state and federal requirements for participation in Medicare and Medicaid, requirements for contracting with Medicare Advantage plans, and contractual requirements imposed upon us by the federal, state and local agencies and third-party commercial insurers that provide payment for our services to patients. Failure to follow the rules and requirements of these programs can significantly affect our ability to be paid for the services we provide and be authorized to provide on an ongoing basis.
The Medicare and Medicaid programs are governed by significant and complex laws. Both Medicare and Medicaid are financed, at least in part, with federal funds. Therefore, any direct or indirect recipients of those funds are subject to federal fraud, waste and abuse laws. In addition, there are federal privacy and data security laws that govern the healthcare industry. State laws primarily pertain to the licensure of certain categories of healthcare professionals and providers and the state’s interest in regulating the quality of healthcare in the state, regardless of the source of payment, but may also include state laws pertaining to fraud, waste and abuse, privacy and data security laws, and the state’s regulation of its Medicaid program. Federal and state regulatory laws that may affect our business, include, but are not limited to the following:
•false and other improper claims or false statements laws pertaining to reimbursement;
•the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and its privacy, security, breach notification and enforcement and code set regulations and guidance, along with evolving state laws protecting patient privacy and requiring notifications of unauthorized access to, or use of, patient medical information;
•civil monetary penalties law;
•anti-kickback laws;
•Section 1877 of the Social Security Act, also known as the “Stark Law”, and other self-referral, financial inducement, fee splitting, and patient brokering laws;
•The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, regulations pertaining to Medicare and Medicaid as well as CMS releases applicable to the operation of Medicare Advantage plans, such as reimbursement rates, risk adjustment and data collection methodologies, adjustments to quality management measurements and other relevant factors;
•State Medicaid laws, rules and regulations that govern program participation, operations, the provision of care to Medicaid beneficiaries and the reimbursement for such services; and
•state licensure laws.
A violation of certain of these laws could result in civil and criminal damages and penalties, the refund of monies paid by government or private payors, our exclusion from participation in federal healthcare payor programs, or the loss of our license to conduct some or all of our business within a particular state’s boundaries. While we believe that our programs are in compliance with these laws, failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Federal Law and State Laws
Federal healthcare laws apply in any case in which we provide an item or service that is reimbursable or provide information to our customers that results in reimbursement by a federal healthcare payor program. The principal federal laws that affect our business include those that prohibit the filing of false or improper claims or other data with federal healthcare payor programs, require confidentiality of patient health information, prohibit unlawful inducements for the referral of business reimbursable under federal healthcare payor programs and those that prohibit physicians from referring to certain entities if the physician has a financial relationship with that entity.
State healthcare laws apply in any case in which we provide an item or service that is reimbursable or provide information to our customers that results in reimbursement by a state Medicaid program. The principal state Medicaid laws that affect our business include those that prohibit the filing of false or improper claims or other data with state Medicaid programs, prohibit unlawful inducements for the referral of business reimbursable by a state Medicaid program and those that prohibit physicians from referring patients to certain entities if the physician has a financial relationship with that entity. Because we receive Medicaid reimbursement, we are subject to applicable participation conditions including a variety of operational, conflict of interest, and structural obligations. For example, in states that have elected to obtain authority to provide NEMT as a medical service through a broker using the regulatory process permitted by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, or DRA, we are prohibited from contracting with any transportation provider with which we have a financial relationship. In addition to Medicaid laws, many states have health care or professional licensure requirements that potentially apply to parts of our business.
False and Other Improper Claims
Under the federal False Claims Act and similar state laws, the government may impose civil liability on us if we knowingly submit a false claim to the government or cause another to submit a false claim to the government, or knowingly make a false record or statement intended to get a false claim paid by the government. The False Claims Act defines a claim as a demand for money or property made directly to the government or to a contractor, grantee, or other recipient if the money is to be spent on the government’s behalf or if the government will reimburse the contractor or grantee. Liability can be incurred for submitting (or causing another to submit) false claims with actual knowledge or for submitting false claims with reckless disregard or deliberate ignorance. Liability can also be incurred for knowingly making or using a false record or statement to receive payment from the federal government; for knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasing an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the government; or for knowingly noncomplying with a law or regulation that is material to the government’s decision to pay Medicare or Medicaid claims. Consequently, a provider need not take an affirmative action to conceal or avoid an obligation to the government, but the mere retention of an overpayment from the government could lead to potential liability under the False Claims Act.
Many states also have similar false claims statutes. In addition, healthcare fraud is a priority of the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or DHHS, its program integrity contractors and its Office of Inspector General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and state Attorneys General. These agencies have devoted a significant amount of resources to investigating healthcare fraud.
If we are ever found to have violated the False Claims Act, we could be required to make significant payments to the government (including damages and penalties in addition to the return of reimbursements previously collected) and could be excluded from participating in federal healthcare programs or providing services to entities which contract with those programs. Although we monitor our billing practices for compliance with applicable laws, such laws are very complex, and we might not be able to detect all errors or interpret such laws in a manner consistent with a court or an agency’s interpretation. While the criminal statutes generally are reserved for instances evidencing fraudulent intent, the civil and administrative penalty statutes are being applied by the federal government in an increasingly broad range of circumstances. Examples of the types of activities giving rise to liability for filing false claims include billing for services not rendered, misrepresenting services rendered (i.e., miscoding), applications for duplicate reimbursement and providing false information that results in reimbursement or impacts reimbursement amounts. Additionally, the federal government takes the position that a pattern of claiming reimbursement for unnecessary services violates these statutes if the claimant should have known that the services were unnecessary. The federal government also takes the position that claiming reimbursement for services that are substandard is a violation of these statutes if the claimant should have known that the care was substandard. Criminal penalties also are available even in the case of claims filed with private insurers if the federal government shows that the claims constitute mail fraud or wire fraud or violate any of the federal criminal healthcare fraud statutes.
State Medicaid agencies and state Attorneys General also have authority to seek criminal or civil sanctions for fraud and abuse violations. In addition, private insurers may bring actions under state false claim laws. In certain circumstances, federal and state laws authorize private whistleblowers to bring false claim or “qui tam” suits on behalf of the government against providers and reward the whistleblower with a portion of any final recovery. In addition, the federal government has engaged a number of private audit organizations to assist it in tracking and recovering claims for healthcare services that may have been improperly submitted.
Governmental investigations and whistleblower qui tam suits against healthcare companies remain at high levels and have resulted in substantial penalties and fines and exclusions of persons and entities from participating in government healthcare programs. While we believe that our programs are in compliance with these laws, failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Health Information, Privacy and Data Protection Practices
Under HIPAA, DHHS issued rules to define and implement standards for the electronic transactions and code sets for the submission of transactions such as claims, and privacy and security of individually identifiable health information in whatever manner it is maintained.
The Final Rule on Enforcement of the HIPAA Administrative Simplification provisions, including the transaction standards, the security standards and the privacy rule, published by DHHS addresses, among other issues, DHHS’s policies for determining violations and calculating civil monetary penalties, how DHHS will address the statutory limitations on the imposition of civil monetary penalties, and various procedural issues. The rule extends enforcement provisions currently applicable to the healthcare privacy regulations to other HIPAA standards, including security, transactions and the appropriate use of service code sets.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, extends certain of HIPAA’s obligations to parties providing services to healthcare entities covered by HIPAA known as “business associates,” imposes new notice of privacy breach reporting obligations, extends enforcement powers to state Attorneys General and amends the HIPAA privacy and security laws to strengthen the civil and criminal enforcement of HIPAA. HITECH establishes four categories of violations that reflect increasing levels of culpability, four corresponding tiers of penalty amounts that significantly increase the minimum penalty amount for each violation, and a maximum penalty amount of $1.5 million for all violations of an identical provision. With the additional HIPAA enforcement power under HITECH, the Office for Civil Rights of DHHS and states are increasing their investigations and enforcement of HIPAA compliance. We have taken steps to ensure compliance with HIPAA and are monitoring compliance on an ongoing basis.
Additionally, the HITECH Final Rule imposes various requirements on covered entities and business associates, and expands the definition of “business associates” to cover contractors of business associates. Even when we are not operating as covered entities, we may be deemed to be “business associates” for HIPAA rule purposes of such covered entities. We monitor compliance obligations under HIPAA as modified by HITECH, and implement operational and systems changes, associate training and education, conduct risk assessments and allocate resources as needed. Any noncompliance with HIPAA
requirements could expose us to criminal and increased civil penalties provided under HITECH and require significant costs in order to comply with its requirements or to remediate potential issues that may arise.
Other state privacy laws may also apply to us, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, which came into force in January 2020. The CCPA affords California residents with specified rights relating to the collection and use of their personal information. Violation of the CCPA may lead to monetary fines, and data breaches may give rise in certain circumstances to private rights of action by impacted individuals. While we believe that our practices are in compliance with these laws, failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Federal and State Anti-Kickback Laws
Federal law commonly known as the “Anti-Kickback Statute” prohibits the knowing and willful offer, solicitation, payment or receipt of anything of value (direct or indirect, overt or covert, in cash or in kind) which is intended to induce:
•the referral of an individual for a service for which payment may be made by Medicare, Medicaid or certain other federal healthcare programs; or
•the ordering, purchasing, leasing, or arranging for, or recommending the purchase, lease or order of, any service or item for which payment may be made by Medicare, Medicaid or certain other federal healthcare programs.
Interpretations of the Anti-Kickback Statute have been very broad and under current law, courts and federal regulatory authorities have stated that the Anti-Kickback Statute is violated if even one purpose (as opposed to the sole or primary purpose) of the arrangement is to induce referrals. Even bona fide investment interests in a healthcare provider may be questioned under the Anti-Kickback Statute if the government concludes that the opportunity to invest was offered as an inducement for referrals.
This act is subject to numerous statutory and regulatory “safe harbors.” Compliance with the requirements of a safe harbor offers defenses against Anti-Kickback Statute allegations. Failure of an arrangement to satisfy all of the requirements of a particular safe harbor does not mean that the arrangement is unlawful. It may mean, however, that such an arrangement will be subject to scrutiny by the regulatory authorities.
Many states, including some where we do business, have adopted anti-kickback laws that are similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these state laws are very closely patterned on the federal Anti-Kickback Statute; others, however, are broader and reach reimbursement by private payors. If our activities were deemed to be inconsistent with state anti-kickback or illegal remuneration laws, we could face civil and criminal penalties or be barred from such activities, any of which could harm us.
If our arrangements are found to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute or applicable state laws, we, along with our clients, would be subject to civil and criminal penalties. In addition, implicated contracts may not be legally enforceable, which could materially and adversely affect our business. While we believe that our programs are in compliance with these laws, failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Federal and State Self-Referral Prohibitions
We may be subject to federal and state statutes banning payments for referrals of patients and referrals by physicians to healthcare providers with whom the physicians have a financial relationship. Section 1877 of the Social Security Act, also known as the “Stark Law”, prohibits physicians from making a “referral” for “designated health services” for Medicare (and in many cases Medicaid) patients from entities or facilities in which such physicians directly or indirectly hold a “financial relationship”.
A financial relationship can take the form of a direct or indirect ownership, investment or compensation arrangement. A referral includes the request by a physician for, or ordering of, or the certifying or recertifying the need for, any designated health services.
Certain services that we provide may be identified as “designated health services” for purposes of the Stark Law. We cannot provide assurance that future regulatory changes will not result in other services they provide becoming subject to the Stark Law’s ownership, investment or compensation prohibitions in the future.
Many states, including some states where we do business, have adopted similar or broader prohibitions against payments that are intended to induce referrals of clients. Moreover, many states where we operate have laws similar to the Stark
Law prohibiting physician self-referrals. While we believe that our programs are in compliance with these laws, failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Surveys and Audits
Our business is subject to periodic surveys by government authorities or their contractors and our payors to ensure compliance with various requirements. Regulators conducting periodic surveys often provide reports containing statements of deficiencies for alleged failures to comply with various regulatory requirements. In most cases, if a deficiency finding is made by a reviewing agency, we will work with the reviewing agency to agree upon the steps to be taken to bring our program into compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In some cases, however, an agency may take a number of adverse actions against a program, including:
•the imposition of fines or penalties or the recoupment of amounts paid;
•temporary suspension of admission of new clients to our program’s service;
•in extreme circumstances, exclusion from participation in Medicaid, Medicare or other programs;
•revocation of our license; or
•contract termination.
While we believe that our programs are in compliance with Medicare, Medicaid and other program certification requirements and state licensure requirements, the rules and regulations governing Medicare, Medicaid participation and state licensure are lengthy and complex. Failure to comply with these laws could have a material adverse impact on our business and our ability to enter into contracts with other agencies to provide services.
Billing/Claims Reviews and Audits
Agencies and other third-party commercial payors periodically conduct pre-payment or post-payment medical reviews or other audits of our claims or other audits in conjunction with obligations to comply with the requirements of Medicare or Medicaid. In order to conduct these reviews, payors request documentation from us and then review that documentation to determine compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the eligibility of clients to receive benefits, the appropriateness of the care provided to those clients, and the documentation of that care. Any determination that we have not complied with applicable rules and regulations could result in adjustment of payments or the incurrence of fines and penalties, or in situations of significant compliance failures review or non-renewal of related contracts.
Corporate Practice of Medicine and Fee Splitting
The corporate practice of medicine doctrine prohibits corporations from practicing medicine or employing a physician to provide professional medical services. This doctrine arises from state medical practice acts and is based on a number of public policy concerns, including:
•allowing corporations to practice medicine or employ physicians will result in the commercialization of the practice of medicine;
•a corporation’s obligation to its stockholders may not align with a physician’s obligation to the physician’s patients; and
•employment of a physician by a corporation may interfere with the physician’s independent medical judgment.
Most states in which Matrix operates and in which we provide personal care services prohibit the corporate practice of medicine. Every state provides an exception for physician ownership of a professional corporation. Many states provide an exception for employment of physicians by certain entities. The scope of these exceptions varies from state to state. Corporate practice of medicine doctrine issues can also overlap with kickback and fee-splitting concerns. Some states use the corporate practice of medicine doctrine to limit the services that a manager can furnish to a physician or medical practice because the state is concerned that a manager might interfere with the physician’s independent medical judgment and/or impose an unacceptable intrusion into the relationship between the physician and the patient.
Among other activities, Matrix currently contracts with and employs nurse practitioners to perform Comprehensive Health Assessments ("CHAs") and our Personal Care segment currently:
•employs registered nurses and licensed practical nurses to render skilled nursing care directly and to provide overall clinical supervision to patients; and
•has medical professionals provide guidance to its Quality Improvement Committees.
We believe that Matrix and our Personal Care segment have structured operations appropriately. Either or both, however, could be alleged or found to be in violation of some or all of these laws. If a state determines that some portion of the business violates these laws, or that a payment induced a physician to refer a patient, it may seek to have an entity discontinue or restructure those portions of operations or subject the entity to increased costs, penalties, fines, certain license requirements or other measures. Any determination that Matrix or we acted improperly in this regard may result in liability. In addition, agreements between Matrix and the particular professional may be considered void and unenforceable.
Professional Licensure and Other Requirements
Many of Matrix’s employees are subject to federal and state laws and regulations governing the ethics and practice of their professions. For example, mid-level practitioners (e.g., Nurse Practitioners) are subject to state laws requiring physician supervision and state laws governing mid-level scope of practice. As physicians’ use of mid-level practitioners increases, state governing boards are implementing more robust regulations governing mid-levels and their scope of practice under physician supervision. The ability of Matrix to provide mid-level practitioner services may be restricted by the enactment of new state laws governing mid-level scope of practice and by state agency interpretations and enforcement of such existing laws. In addition, services rendered by mid-level practitioners may not be reimbursed by payors at the same rates as payors may reimburse physicians for the same services. Lastly, professionals who are eligible to participate in Medicare and Medicaid as individual providers must not have been excluded from participation in government programs at any time. The ability of Matrix to provide services depends upon the ability of personnel to meet individual licensure and other requirements and maintain such licensure in good standing.
COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Orders
Emergency, public health and executive orders, issued, extended, or declared by the U.S. federal and state governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have waived numerous legal requirements while also imposing new legal restrictions. Many public health and executive orders are issued, rescinded or modified with little advance notice. These emergency, public health and executive orders have created significant uncertainty in the legal and operational duties of health care providers. While we believe that our programs are in compliance with emergency, public health and executive orders, failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business. At some point in time, the U.S. federal government will formally end the public health emergency. The end of the public health emergency will likely result in the rescission and modification of a number of regulatory requirements which will likely increase the uncertainty of the legal and operational duties of health care providers. While we are planning for the end of the public health emergency, failure to adjust our operations based upon end of the public health emergency could have a material adverse impact on our business.
CARES Act Provider Relief Fund
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020 (the "CARES Act"), established the Provider Relief Fund that made relief payments to certain health care providers. The purpose of the Provider Relief Fund was to provide funding to health care providers so they could prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. Providers who received relief payments are subject to eligibility criteria and specific terms and conditions on the use of relief payments. To receive relief payments, many providers were required to attest to numerous statements regarding accuracy of their application and their compliance with the eligibility criteria and the terms and conditions. Providers’ use of relief payments is limited to health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus. Providers are required to have documentation that relief payments were used for those purposes. There is limited guidance concerning what the government might consider a health care related expense or lost revenue that was attributable to coronavirus or what type of documentation is adequate.
Simplura and Care Finders have received relief payments from the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund. While we believe that the receipt and use of relief payments was in compliance with Provider Relief Fund requirements, failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Human Capital Management
Attracting, developing and retaining talented people who embrace our culture, execute our strategy, and enable us to compete effectively in our industry is critical to our success. To that end, ensuring that we have the right people in the right seats is one of our six pillars guiding our business strategy.
We believe a critical component of our success is our company culture. Our vision statement, “We drive positive health outcomes by transforming the way we connect to care” is at the core of everything we do. We aim to attract and retain
great people – representing a diverse array of perspectives and skills – who work together as a cohesive team that embody our values.
Our ability to recruit and retain our employees depends on a number of factors, including providing competitive compensation and benefits, development and career advancement opportunities, and a collegial work environment. We invest in those areas in an effort to ensure that we continue to be the employer of choice for our employees.
Compensation and Benefits
Our benefits are designed to help employees and their families stay healthy, meet their financial goals, protect their income and help them have harmony between their work and personal lives. These benefits include health and wellness, paid time off, employee assistance, competitive pay, broad-based bonus programs, pension and retirement savings plans, career growth opportunities, and a culture of recognition.
Employee Development and Advancement
We invest significant resources to develop employees with the right capabilities to deliver the growth and innovation needed to support our strategy. We seek to ensure that we are building the organizational capabilities required for success in the years to come. We offer employees and their managers a number of tools to help in their personal and professional development, including career development plans, mentoring programs and in-house learning opportunities, including an in-house continuing education program. We also have a practice of investing in our next generation of leaders and offer employees a number of leadership development programs. We believe in and encourage our employees and managers to maintain a growth mindset, a belief that qualities and talents can be developed through dedication and hard work, and have aligned our performance management programs to support our culture transformation with increased focus on continuous learning and development.
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 20,000 employees, of which approximately 3,100 were dedicated to our NEMT and our Corporate and Other segments, 16,400 were dedicated to our Personal Care segment, and 500 were dedicated to our RPM segment. Approximately 2,700 of our Personal Care segment caregivers were unionized in New York at the end of 2022, and we believe that we have good relationships with all of our employees.
Demographics and Diversity
Our employees reflect the communities in which we live and work, and the customers we serve, and they possess a broad range of thought and experiences that have helped us achieve our successes to date. A key component of our growth and success is our focus on inclusion and diversity. We believe this commitment allows us to better our understanding of patient and customer needs, and develop technologies and solutions to meet those needs. Although we have made progress in our workforce diversity representation, we continue to seek to improve in this important area. We have established goals to continue improving our hiring, development, and retention of diverse employees and our overall diversity representation, including within our executive management team, in an effort to be a socially responsible community member.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
You should consider and read carefully all of the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks described below have been organized under headings that are provided for convenience and intended to organize the risks and uncertainties into related categories to improve readability for investors; no inference should be drawn, however, that the placement of a risk factor under a particular category means that it is not applicable to another category of risks or that it may be more or less material than another risk factor. Regardless, they are also not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. The occurrence of any of the following risks or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. This Annual Report on Form 10-K also contains forward-looking statements and estimates that involve risks and uncertainties, as discussed above in this Part I under the caption “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward‑looking statements as a result of many factors, including the risk factors and uncertainties described below.
Risks Related to Our Industry
The cost of healthcare is funded substantially by government and private insurance programs, and if such funding is reduced or limited or no longer available, our business may be adversely impacted.
Third-party payors, including Medicaid, Medicare and private health insurance providers, provide substantial funding for our services. Other payors, including MCOs, are also dependent upon Medicaid funding. These payors are increasingly seeking to reduce the cost of healthcare, which drives pressure on the reimbursement rates for healthcare services, which include our services. We cannot assure you that our services will be considered cost-effective by third-party payors, that reimbursement will continue to be available, or that payor reimbursement policies will not have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our services on a profitable basis, if at all. We cannot control reimbursement rates, including Medicare market basket or other rate adjustments. Reimbursement for services that we provide is primarily through Medicaid and MCOs and rates can vary state by state and payor by payor. Legislative efforts driving increases in minimum wage levels have been made and continue to be proposed to increase minimum wages in markets in which we operate, and that could significantly impact the wage rates for personal care attendants we utilize to provide our personal care services. Further, the continued increase in inflation has the potential to continue to drive up costs related to employee wages and other inputs to our services including fuel costs. The current payors may be unable or unwilling to increase reimbursement rates sufficiently to offset the impact on us of such cost increases or, in cases where payors do increase reimbursement rates, such increases may not occur concurrently with the increase in costs or fully offset such increases. These changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
The implementation of alternative payment models and the transition of Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries to MCOs may limit our market share and could adversely affect our revenues.
Many government and commercial payors are transitioning providers to alternative payment models that are designed to promote cost-efficiency, quality and coordination of care. For example, accountable care organizations, or ACOs, seek to motivate hospitals, physician groups, and other providers to organize and coordinate patient care while reducing unnecessary costs. Several states have implemented, or have announced that they plan to implement, accountable care models for their Medicaid populations. If we are not included in these programs, or if ACOs establish programs that overlap with the services provided by us, we are at risk for losing market share and of experiencing a loss of business.
We may be similarly impacted by increased enrollment of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in managed care plans, shifting away from traditional fee-for-service models. Under the Medicare managed care program, also known as Medicare Advantage or MA, the federal government contracts with private health insurers to provide Medicare benefits. Insurers may choose to offer supplemental benefits and impose higher plan costs on beneficiaries. Enrollment in managed Medicaid plans is also growing, as states are increasingly relying on MCOs to deliver Medicaid program services as a strategy to control costs and manage resources. We may experience increased competition for managed care contracts due to state regulation and limitations. For instance, in October 2018, New York began imposing limits on the number of home healthcare providers with which a managed Medicaid plan can contract. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to be included in plan networks, that we will be able to secure favorable contracts with all or some of the MCOs, that our reimbursement under these programs will remain at current levels, that the authorizations for services will remain at current levels or that our profitability will remain at levels consistent with past performance, and if we are not successful in these areas our business could be materially harmed and our financial condition materially adversely affected.
In addition, operational processes may not be well defined as a state transitions beneficiaries to managed care. For example, membership, new referrals and the related authorization for services to be provided may be delayed, which may result in delays in service delivery to customers or in payment for services rendered. Difficulties with operational processes may negatively affect our revenue growth rates, cash flow and profitability for services provided. Other alternative payment models, such as value-based billing, capitated rates and per member per month pricing may be required by the government, MCOs and other commercial payors to control their costs while shifting financial risk to us, which could also materially affect our operations and financial condition.
We are limited in our ability to control reimbursement rates received for our services, and if we are not able to maintain or reduce our costs to provide such services, our business could be materially adversely affected.
Medicare and Medicaid are among our most significant payors, and their rates are established through federal and state statutes and regulations. Additionally, reimbursement rates with MCOs and other payors are difficult for us to negotiate as such payors are themselves limited in their ability to control rates and funding received from Medicaid and Medicare and are under pressure to reduce their own costs. We therefore manage our costs to achieve a desired level of profitability, including centralizing various back office processes, using technology to streamline processes and practicing efficient management of our workforce. If we are not able to continue to streamline our processes and reduce our costs, our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Future cost containment initiatives undertaken by private third-party payors, especially if we are unable to maintain or reduce our cost of services below rates set forth by payors, may limit our future revenue and profitability and cause us to experience reduced or negative margins and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our commercial payor and managed Medicaid revenue and profitability are affected by continuing efforts of third-party payors to maintain or reduce costs of healthcare by lowering payment rates, narrowing the scope and utilization of covered services, increasing case management review of services and negotiating pricing. There can be no assurance that third-party payors will make timely payments for our services, and there is no assurance that we will continue to maintain our current payor or revenue mix. We will continue our efforts to develop our commercial payor and managed Medicaid sources of revenue and any changes in payment levels from current or future third-party payors could have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may be more vulnerable to the effects of a public health emergency than other businesses due to the nature of our end-users and the physical proximity required by our operations, which could harm our business disproportionately to other businesses.
The majority of our end-users are older individuals with complex medical challenges or multiple ongoing diseases or chronic illnesses, many of whom may be more vulnerable than the general public during a pandemic or in a public health emergency. Our employees are also at greater risk of contracting contagious diseases due to their increased exposure to vulnerable end-users. Our employees could also have difficulty attending to our end-users if a program of social distancing or quarantine is instituted in response to a public health emergency, or if “stay at home” orders are perpetuated or reinitiated. In addition, we may expand existing internal policies in a manner that may have a similar effect. If the COVID-19 virus and its potentially more contagious variants cause an additional resurgence of infections of COVID-19, or if new variants continue to develop that are resistant to government approved COVID-19 vaccinations, or if an influenza or other pandemic were to occur, we could suffer significant losses to our consumer population or a willingness by our end-users to utilize our services, in particular in our Personal Care segment, or a reduction in the availability of our employees and, at an inflated cost, we could be required to hire replacements for affected workers. Accordingly, public health emergencies could have a disproportionate material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may be adversely affected by inadequacies in, or security breaches of, our information technology systems, including the systems intended to protect our clients’ privacy and confidential information, which could lead to legal liability, adversely affect our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our information technology, or IT, systems are critically important to our operations and we must implement and maintain appropriate and sufficient infrastructure and IT systems to support growth and our existing business processes. We provide services to individuals and others that require us to collect, process, maintain and retain sensitive and personal client confidential information in our computer systems, including patient identifiable health information, financial information and other personal information about our customers and end-users, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, identification numbers, sensitive health data, and payment account information. As a result, we are subject to complex and
evolving United States privacy laws and regulations, including those pertaining to the handling of personal data, such as HIPAA, CCPA, and others. Most states have enacted laws, which vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, to safeguard the privacy and security of personal information. An increasing number of states require that impacted individuals and regulatory authorities be notified if a security breach results in the unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, personal information. Notifications are also required under HIPAA to the extent there is unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, personal health information. California residents and households in particular are afforded significantly expanded privacy protections under the CCPA. The enacted laws often provide for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that may increase data breach litigation. Further, while we are using internal and external resources to monitor compliance with and to continue to modify our data processing practices and policies in order to comply with evolving privacy laws, relevant regulatory authorities could determine that our data handling practices fail to address all the requirements of certain new laws, which could subject us to penalties and/or litigation. In addition, there is no assurance that our security controls over personal data, the training of employees and vendors on data privacy and data security, and the policies, procedures and practices we implemented or may implement in the future will prevent the improper disclosure of personal data. Improper disclosure of personal data in violation of the CCPA and/or of other personal data protection laws could harm our reputation, cause loss of consumer confidence, subject us to government enforcement actions (including fines), or result in private litigation against us, which could result in loss of revenue, increased costs, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, all of which could adversely affect our business, consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We also rely on our IT systems (some of which are outsourced to third parties) to manage the data, communications and business processes for other business functions, including our marketing, sales, logistics, customer service, accounting and administrative functions. Furthermore, our systems include interfaces to third-party stakeholders, often connected via the internet. In addition, some of our services or information related to our services are carried out or hosted within our customers’ IT systems, and any failure or weaknesses in their IT systems may negatively impact our ability to deliver the services, for which we may not receive relief from contractual performance obligations or compensation for services provided. In addition, security incidents impacting other companies, such as our vendors, may allow cybercriminals to obtain personal information about our customers and employees. Cybercriminals may then use this information to, among other things, attempt to gain unauthorized access to our customers’ accounts, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and results of operations or financial condition. As a result of the data we maintain and third-party access, we are subject to increasing cybersecurity risks associated with malicious cyber-attacks intended to gain access to protected personal information. The nature of our business, where services are often performed outside of locations where network security can be assured, adds additional risk. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build, sustain and protect an appropriate technology infrastructure, our business or financial results could be negatively impacted.
Furthermore, computer hackers and data thieves are increasingly sophisticated and operate large scale and complex automated attacks, and our information technology systems may be vulnerable to material security breaches (including the access to or acquisition of customer, employee or other confidential data), cyber-attacks or other material system failures arising out of malware or ransomware attacks, denial of services, or other attacks or security incidents, any of which could adversely impact our operations and financial results, our relationships with business partners and customers, and our reputation. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable to implement adequate preventative measures sufficient to prevent a breach of our systems and protect sensitive data, including confidential personal information. Any breach of our data security could result in an unauthorized release or transfer of customer or employee information, or the loss of valuable business data or cause a disruption in our business. A failure to prevent, detect and respond in a timely manner to a major breach of our data security or to other cybersecurity threats could result in system disruption, business continuity issues or compromised data integrity. These events or any other failure to safeguard personal data could give rise to unwanted media attention, damage our reputation, damage our customer relationships and result in lost sales, fines or lawsuits. We may also be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against or respond to or alleviate problems caused by a security breach. If we are unable to prevent material failures, our operations may be impacted, and we may suffer other negative consequences such as reputational damage, litigation, remediation costs, a requirement not to operate our business until defects are remedied, or penalties under various data privacy laws and regulations, any of which could detrimentally affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
We derive a significant amount of our revenues from a limited number of payors, and any changes in the funding, financial viability or our relationships with these payors could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We generate a significant amount of our revenue from a limited number of payors under a relatively small number of contracts. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2022, approximately 30.6% of our NEMT segment revenue was derived from only five payors, and one of which, a single state Medicaid agency, contributed 10.9% to our aggregate NEMT segment revenue during that period. As it relates to our other segments, for the year ended December 31, 2022, approximately 12.0% of our Personal Care segment revenue was derived from one U.S. state Medicaid program, and approximately 19.9% of our RPM segment revenue was derived from one health plan. The loss of, reduction in amounts generated by, or changes in methods or regulations governing payments for our services under these contracts could have a material adverse impact on our revenue and results of operations. In addition, any consolidation of any of our private payors could increase the impact that any such risks would have on our revenue, financial position, and results of operations.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by pandemic infectious diseases, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis that results in economic disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. COVID-19 and its potentially more contagious variants specifically, as well as measures taken by governmental authorities and private actors to limit the spread of the virus, have interfered with, and may continue to interfere with, the ability of our employees, suppliers, transportation providers and other business providers to carry out their assigned tasks at ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of our business, which may cause us to materially curtail portions of our business operations. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of evolving factors that we may not be able to predict, including:
•the duration and scope of the pandemic;
•governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic;
•the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response;
•the effect on our customers and members and customer and member demand for our services, in particular with respect to our Personal Care segment services;
•our ability to provide our services as a result of, among other things, travel restrictions, disruptions in our contact centers related to COVID-19, people working from home and taking the opportunity to provide personal care services that we might otherwise provide through our Personal Care segment, and the willingness of our employees to return to work due to health concerns, childcare issues or enhanced unemployment benefits, including after “shelter in place” and other related “stay at home restrictions” are lifted or modified;
•issues with respect to our employees’ health, working hours and/or ability to perform their duties;
•increased costs to us in response to these changing conditions and to protect the health and safety of our employees, including increased spending for hazard pay and personal protective equipment; and
•the ability of our payors to pay for our services.
Furthermore, any failure to appropriately respond, or the perception of an inadequate response, could cause reputational harm and/or subject us to claims and litigation, either of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in March 2020, we observed a material reduction in trip volume in our NEMT segment as a result of state imposed public health orders. While this reduction in trip volume has improved and the Company has experienced an increase in trip volume each year following the pandemic, structural changes in the industry as a result of the pandemic, predominantly related to an increase in the utilization of telehealth and virtual care, have continued to have an impact on the Company's trip volume. Any ongoing impact to trip volume as a result of this structural change in the industry may have a negative financial impact on our transportation providers and may result in lower revenues as the Company adapts to this change in demand for transportation services. As volumes continue to increase to pre-pandemic levels, the availability of transportation providers in the future may be limited due to the capacity constraints within our network of transportation providers. Additionally, we may face staffing difficulties in our contact centers as the recruitment of potential employees may be challenging amid the current labor environment, which could negatively impact the customer and member experience while interfacing with our contact centers and materially adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
Our Personal Care segment also experienced a material reduction in volume of service hours and visits as a result of the pandemic. While this reduction in service hours and visit has continued to improve toward pre-pandemic levels each year following the pandemic, ongoing impacts of the pandemic including constraints on the labor market, specifically related to strain on healthcare professionals, has led to a shortage of caregivers which will continue to impact the volume of service hours that can be provided. Further, these labor constraints have driven increased wage rates, which limits the Company's ability to be profitable in contracts with set rates for various care services. Any depressed volumes as a result of the labor shortage and the strain on healthcare professionals could reduce the quality with which our caregivers provide services and could result in lower
than expected revenue, in the Personal Care segment. As volume continues to increase, we may face difficulty meeting the volume of demand due to staffing challenges in the healthcare industry. Any of these circumstances and factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our RPM segment has not experienced a direct material impact to operations or financial activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While this segment of the business has proven resilient given the increase in demand for remote healthcare services in a highly contagious infection environment, potential risks could arise that could have a material impact on the financial results of the segment. Specifically, given the strain on the healthcare professionals that serve the healthcare community, we could experience shortages in qualified medical professionals that support our remote care monitoring business. Further, as this segment relies on patients receiving health monitoring devices for use in-home, any impact to the supply chain that ensures these critical devices arrive for active and continued vitals monitoring and data analytic solutions could have a negative impact on our business. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.
The uncertainty and volatility of NEMT trip volume and Personal Care volume of hours provided due to COVID-19 and the long-term impacts of the pandemic on the global economy can affect the assumptions we rely upon to develop our expense estimates relative to the operations of these business segments. If we do not accurately estimate costs incurred in providing these services, these segments may be impacted by out of period adjustments to actual results. Any or all of these factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the long-term effects of the pandemic are continuously evolving, and the continuation of the pandemic, any additional resurgence, or COVID-19 variants could precipitate or aggravate the other risk factors included in this report, which in turn could further materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and profitability, including in ways that are not currently known to us or that we do not currently consider to present significant risks.
Our contact center employees may be disproportionately impacted by health epidemics or pandemics like COVID-19, which could disrupt our business and adversely affect our financial results.
Our contact centers typically seat a significant number of employees in one location. Accordingly, an outbreak or resurgence of a contagious infection or virus, such as COVID-19 or its potentially more contagious and/or vaccine resistant variants, in one or more of the locations in which we do business may result in significant worker absenteeism, lower capacity utilization rates, voluntary or mandatory closure of our contact centers, transportation restrictions that could make it difficult for our employees to commute to work, travel restrictions on our employees, and other disruptions to our business. Any prolonged or widespread health epidemic could severely disrupt our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Delays in collection, or non-collection, of our accounts receivable, particularly during any business integration process, could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
Prompt billing and collection are important factors in our liquidity. Billing and collection of our accounts receivable are subject to the complex regulations that govern Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and rules imposed by nongovernment payors. Our inability to bill and collect on a timely basis pursuant to these regulations and rules could subject us to payment delays that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity. It is possible that documentation support, system problems, Medicare, Medicaid or other payor issues, particularly in markets transitioning to managed care for the first time, or industry trends may extend our collection period, which may materially adversely affect our working capital, and our working capital management procedures may not successfully mitigate this risk.
The timing of payments made under the Medicare and Medicaid programs is subject to governmental budgetary constraints, resulting in an increased period of time between submission of claims and subsequent payment under specific programs, most notably under the Medicaid and Medicaid managed programs, which typically pay claims approximately 30 to 60 days slower than the average hospital claim. In addition, we may experience delays in reimbursement as a result of the failure to receive prompt approvals related to change of ownership applications for acquired or other facilities or from delays caused by our or other third parties’ information system failures. We may also experience delayed payment of reimbursement rate increases that are subject to the approval of the CMS and/or various state agencies before claims can be submitted or paid at the new rates. Any delays experienced for the foregoing or other reasons could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, a delay in collecting our accounts receivable, or the non-collection of accounts receivable in connection with our transition and integration of acquired companies, including GMM, and the attendant movement of underlying billing and collection operations from legacy systems to our systems could have a material negative impact on our results of operations and liquidity.
Our reported financial results could suffer if there is an impairment of goodwill or long-lived assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, to review the carrying value of long-lived assets to be used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. Factors that may necessitate an impairment assessment include, among others, significant adverse changes in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, significant adverse changes in legal factors or the business climate that could affect the value of an asset or significant declines in the observable market value of an asset. Where the presence or occurrence of those events indicates that an asset may be impaired, we assess its recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of the asset exceeds the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset over the remaining economic life of the asset. If such testing indicates the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, we estimate the fair value of the asset using appropriate valuation methodologies, which would typically include an estimate of discounted cash flows. If the fair value of those assets is less than carrying value, we record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value. The use of different estimates or assumptions in determining the fair value of our intangible assets may result in different values for those assets, which could result in an impairment or, in the period in which an impairment is recognized, could result in a materially different impairment charge.
In addition, goodwill may be impaired if the estimated fair value of our reporting units is less than the carrying value of the respective reporting unit. As a result of our growth, in part through acquisitions, goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets. From our recent acquisitions, goodwill generated in relation to the acquisition of of Care Finders in 2021 was $232.1 million, goodwill generated in relation to the acquisition of VRI in 2021 was $236.3 million, and goodwill generated in relation to the acquisition of GMM in 2022 was $44.3 million. We perform an analysis on our goodwill balances to test for impairment on an annual basis. Interim impairment tests may also be required in advance of our annual impairment test if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value, including goodwill, of our reporting unit below the reporting unit’s carrying value. Such circumstances could include: (1) loss of significant contracts; (2) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the climate of our business; (3) unanticipated competition; (4) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; or (5) a significant decline in our stock price.
As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of goodwill, intangibles, equity method investments, and property and equipment, net was $968.7 million, $439.4 million, $41.3 million and $69.1 million, respectively. We continue to monitor the carrying value of these long-lived assets. If future conditions are different from management’s estimates at the time of an acquisition or market conditions change subsequently, we may incur future charges for impairment of our goodwill, intangible assets, equity method investments or property and equipment, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position.
Failure to maintain or to develop further reliable, efficient and secure IT systems would be disruptive to our operations and diminish our ability to compete and successfully grow our business.
We are highly dependent on efficient and uninterrupted performance of our IT and business systems. These systems quote, process and service our business, and perform financial functions necessary for pricing and service delivery. These systems must also be able to undergo periodic modifications and improvements without interruptions or untimely delays in service. Additionally, our ability to integrate our systems with those of our clients is critical to our success. Our information systems rely on the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources to maintain and enhance existing systems as well as develop and create new systems to keep pace with continuing changes in information processing technology or evolving industry and regulatory requirements. Nevertheless, we still rely on manual processes and procedures, including accounting, reporting and consolidation processes that may result in errors and may not scale proportionately with our business growth, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A failure or delay to achieve improvements in our IT platforms could interrupt certain processes or degrade business operations and could place us at a competitive disadvantage. If we are unable to implement appropriate systems, procedures and controls, we may not be able to successfully offer our services and grow our business and account for transactions in an appropriate and timely manner, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks related to attracting and retaining qualified employees, which could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our business success depends, to a significant degree, on our ability to identify, attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and experienced employees who possess the skills and experience necessary to deliver high-quality services to our clients, with the continued contributions of our senior management being especially critical to our success. Our objective of providing the highest quality of service to our clients is a significant consideration when we evaluate the education, experience and qualifications of potential candidates for employment as direct care and administrative staff. A portion of our staff is made up of professionals with requisite educational backgrounds and professional certifications. These employees are in great demand and are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future, exacerbated by continued labor shortages in the current economy.
Our ability to attract and retain employees with the requisite experience and skills depends on several factors, including our ability to offer competitive wages, benefits and professional growth opportunities. While we have established programs to attract new employees and provide incentives to retain existing employees, particularly our senior management, we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract new employees or retain the services of our senior management or any other key employees in the future. Some of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel may have greater financial, technical, political and marketing resources, name recognition and a larger number of clients and payors than we do, which may prove more attractive to employment candidates. The inability to attract and retain experienced personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The performance of our business also depends on the talents and efforts of our highly skilled IT professionals. Our success depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate these individuals. Effective succession planning is also important to our future success. If we fail to ensure the effective transfer of senior management knowledge and smooth transitions involving senior management, our ability to execute short and long-term strategic, financial and operating goals, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations generally, could be materially adversely affected.
Any acquisition or acquisition integration efforts that we undertake could disrupt our business, not generate anticipated results, dilute stockholder value and have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
Our growth strategy involves the evaluation of potential entry into complementary markets and service lines through acquisition, particularly with opportunities that may leverage the advantages inherent in our large-scale technology-enabled operations and networks. We have made acquisitions and anticipate that we will continue to consider and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities, the success of which depends in part on our ability to integrate an acquired company into our business operations. Integration of any acquired company will place significant demands on our management, systems, internal controls and financial and physical resources. This could require us to incur significant expense for, among other things, hiring additional qualified personnel, retaining professionals to assist in developing the appropriate control systems and expanding our IT infrastructure. The nature of our business is such that qualified management personnel can be difficult to find. Our inability to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
For example, the successful integration of Care Finders into our Personal Care segment and the remote patient monitoring business acquired in the VRI transaction and expanded with the GMM acquisition and our ability to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, including:
•the challenges and unanticipated costs associated with integrating complex organizations, systems, operating procedures, compliance programs, technology, networks and other assets;
•the difficulties harmonizing differences in the business cultures;
•the inability to successfully combine our respective businesses in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings and other anticipated benefits from the acquisitions;
•the challenges associated with known and unknown legal or financial liabilities associated with the acquisitions;
•the risk of entering markets in which we have little or no experience;
•the challenges associated with the incurrence of indebtedness and the assumption of new contracts associated with the acquisitions;
•the inability to minimize the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns during the process of integrating our businesses;
•the inability to resolve potential conflicts that may arise relating to customer, supplier and other important relationships;
•the difficulties in retaining key management and other key employees; and
•the challenge of managing the expanded operations of a larger and more complex company and coordinating geographically separate organizations.
We incurred substantial expenses to complete the acquisitions, but we may not realize the anticipated cost benefits and other benefits to the extent expected, on the timeline expected, or at all. Moreover, competition in this industry may also cause us not to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.
There can also be no assurance that the companies we acquire, will generate income or incur expenses at the historical or projected levels on which we based our acquisition decisions, that we will be able to maintain or renew the acquired companies’ contracts, that we will be able to realize operating and economic efficiencies upon integration of acquired companies or that the acquisitions will not adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, as we expand our markets or otherwise take advantage of prospects for growth, in connection with our acquisition strategy, we could issue stock that could dilute existing stockholders’ percentage ownership, or we could incur or assume substantial debt or contingent liabilities. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in overcoming problems encountered in connection with any acquisition or integration and our inability to do so could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business. Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with past or future acquisitions and investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or investments, incur unanticipated liabilities and harm our business generally.
Our estimated income taxes could be materially different from income taxes that we ultimately pay, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our total income tax provision is based on our taxable income and the tax laws in the various jurisdictions in which we operate or operated. Significant judgment and estimation is required in determining our annual income tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions and related matters. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determinations are uncertain or otherwise subject to interpretation. In addition, we make or were required to make judgments regarding the applicability of tax treaties and the appropriate application of transfer pricing regulations with respect to the operations of our former workforce development services segment. In the event one taxing jurisdiction disagrees with another taxing jurisdiction with respect to the amount or applicability of a particular type of tax, or the amount or availability of a particular type of tax refund or credit, we could experience temporary or permanent double taxation and increased professional fees to resolve such taxation matters.
Our determination of our income tax liability is subject to review by applicable tax authorities, and we have been audited by various jurisdictions in prior years. We were examined by the Internal Revenue Service as a result of the large refunds received from the loss on the sale or our former workforce development services segment. This examination was completed in the third quarter of 2021 with no material adjustments being made. In addition, we are being examined by various states and by the Saudi Arabian tax authorities with respect to these matters. Although we believe our income tax estimates and related determinations are reasonable and appropriate, relevant taxing authorities may disagree. The ultimate outcome of any such audits and reviews could be materially different from the estimates and determinations reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.
Risks Related to Our NEMT Segment
There can be no assurance that our contracts will survive as contemplated until the end of their stated terms, or that upon their expiration will be renewed or extended on satisfactory terms, if at all, and disruptions to, the early expiration or renegotiation of, or the failure to renew our contracts could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our NEMT segment contracts are subject to frequent renewal and, from time to time, requests for renegotiation during a contract term. For example, many of our state Medicaid contracts, which represented 40.0% of our NEMT segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, have terms ranging from three to five years and are typically subject to a competitive procurement process near the end of the term. We also contract with MCOs, which represented 60.0% of our NEMT segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our MCO contracts for NEMT segment services typically continue until terminated by either party upon reasonable notice in accordance with the terms of the contract, and sometimes a contractual counterparty will seek to renegotiate the pricing and other terms of a contract to our detriment prior to the stated termination date of a contract. We cannot anticipate if, when or to what extent we will be successful in renewing our state Medicaid contracts or retaining our MCO contracts through their contractual duration on terms originally negotiated or at all. For the year ended December 31, 2022, 30.5% of our NEMT segment revenue was generated under state Medicaid contracts that are subject to renewal during 2023.
In addition, with respect to many of our state contracts, the payor may terminate the contract without cause, or for convenience, at will and without penalty to the payor, either immediately or upon the expiration of a short notice period in the event that, among other reasons, government appropriations supporting the programs serviced by the contract are reduced or eliminated. We cannot anticipate if, when or to what extent a payor might terminate a contract with us prior to its expiration, or fail to renew or extend a contract with us. If we are unable to retain or renew our contracts, or replace lost contracts, on satisfactory terms, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. While we pursue new contract awards and also undertake efficiency measures, there can be no assurance that such measures will fully offset the negative impact of contracts that are not renewed or are canceled on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends on our ability to compete effectively in the marketplace, and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to compete effectively in the markets for our services.
We compete for clients and for contracts with a variety of organizations that offer similar services. Many organizations of varying sizes compete with us, including local not-for-profit organizations and community-based organizations, larger companies, organizations that currently provide or may begin to provide similar NEMT services (including transportation network companies such as Uber and Lyft) and CHA providers. Some of these companies may have greater brand recognition as well as greater financial, technical, political, marketing, and other resources that contribute to a larger number of clients or payors than we have. In addition, some of these companies may offer more services than we do. To remain competitive, we must provide superior quality services on a cost-effective basis to our payors and customers.
The market in which we operate is influenced by technological developments that affect cost-efficiency and quality of services, and the needs of our customers change and evolve regularly. Accordingly, our success depends on our ability to develop services that address these changing needs and to provide technology needed to deliver these services on a cost-effective basis. Our competitors may better utilize technology to change the way services in our industry are designed and delivered and they may be able to provide our customers with different or greater capabilities than we can provide, including better contract terms, technical qualifications, price and availability of qualified professional personnel. In addition, new or disruptive technologies and methodologies by our competitors may make our services noncompetitive. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has driven an industry shift toward virtual health solutions which may reduce the number of in-person visits an end-user may be required to make to healthcare providers in order to receive care, which could reduce the utilization of our NEMT services.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, competition from new entrants into the markets in which we operate. Increased competition may result in pricing pressures, loss of or failure to gain market share, or loss of or failure to gain clients or payors, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Our business may also be adversely affected by the consolidation of competitors, which may result in increased pricing pressure or negotiating leverage with payors, or by the provision of our services by payors or clients directly to customers, including through the acquisition of competitors.
We obtain a significant portion of our business through responses to government requests for proposals and we may not be awarded contracts through this process in the future, or contracts we are awarded may not be profitable.
We obtain, and will continue to seek to obtain, a significant portion of our business from state government entities, which generally entails responding to a government request for proposal, or RFP. To propose effectively, we must accurately estimate our cost structure for servicing a proposed contract, the time required to establish operations and submit the most attractive proposal with respect to both technical and price specifications. The accurate estimate of costs is based on historical experience with similar contracts and future expectation around transportation costs, which may be inaccurately forecasted due to uncertainties driven by the post-COVID-19 pandemic supply chain shortages and the current geopolitical environment. We must also assemble and submit a large volume of information within rigid and often short timetables. Our ability to respond successfully to an RFP will greatly affect our business. If we misinterpret bid requirements as to performance criteria or do not accurately estimate performance costs in a binding bid for an RFP, there can be no assurance that we will be able to modify the proposed contract and we may be required to perform under a contract that is not profitable, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
If we fail to satisfy our contractual obligations, we could be liable for damages and financial penalties, which may place existing pledged performance and payment bonds at risk as well as harm our ability to keep our existing contracts or obtain new contracts and future bonds, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.
Our failure to comply with our contractual obligations could, in addition to providing grounds for immediate termination of the contract for cause, negatively impact our financial performance and damage our reputation, which, in turn,
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to maintain current contracts or obtain new contracts. The termination of a contract for cause could, for instance, subject us to liabilities for excess costs incurred by a payor in obtaining similar services from another source. In addition, our contracts require us to indemnify payors for our failure to meet standards of care, and some of them contain liquidated damages provisions and financial penalties if we breach these contracts, which amounts could be material. Our failure to meet contractual obligations could also result in substantial actual and consequential financial damages, the impact of which could be materially adverse to our business and reputation
If we fail to estimate accurately the cost of performing certain contracts, we may experience reduced or negative margins and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
During 2022, 2021, and 2020, 87.8%, 84.7%, and 86.2% of our NEMT segment revenue, respectively, was generated under capitated contracts with the remainder generated through fee for service ("FFS") contracts. Under most of our capitated contracts, we assume the responsibility of managing the needs of a specific geographic population by contracting out transportation services to local transportation companies on a per ride or per mile basis. We use “pricing models” to determine applicable contract rates, which take into account factors such as estimated utilization, state specific data, previous experience in the state or with similar services, the medically covered programs outlined in the contract, identified populations to be serviced, estimated volume, estimated transportation provider rates and availability of mass transit. The amount of the fixed per-member, monthly fee is determined in the bidding process, but is predicated on actual historical transportation data for the subject geographic region as provided by the payor, actuarial work performed in-house as well as by third party actuarial firms and actuarial analysis provided by the payor. If the utilization of our services is more than we estimated, the contract may be less profitable than anticipated, or may not be profitable at all. Under our FFS contracts, we receive fees based on our interactions with government-sponsored clients. To earn a profit on these contracts, we must accurately estimate costs incurred in providing services. If the client population relating to these contracts is not large enough to cover our fixed costs, such as rent and overhead, our operating results could be materially adversely affected and our profitability impaired. Our FFS contracts are not reimbursed on a cost basis; therefore, if we fail to estimate our costs accurately, we may experience reduced margins or losses on these contracts. Revenue under certain contracts may be adjusted prospectively if client volumes are below expectations. If we are unable to adjust our costs accordingly, our profitability may be negatively affected. In addition, certain contracts with state Medicaid agencies are renewable or extended at the state’s option without an adjustment to pricing terms. If such renewed contracts require us to incur higher costs, including inflation or regulatory changes, than originally anticipated, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
The NEMT segment may be adversely impacted if the drivers we engage as independent contractors were instead classified as employees.
We believe that the drivers we engage to provide rider benefits are properly classified as independent contractors and that these drivers are not our employees. Changes to federal, state or local laws governing the definition or classification of independent contractors, or judicial or administrative challenges to our classification of these drivers as independent contractors, could affect the status of these drivers as independent contractors. A change in the classification of these drivers from independent contractors to employees could increase materially our expenses associated with the delivery of our services, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Significant interruptions in communication and data services could adversely affect our business.
Our contact centers are significantly dependent on telephone, internet and data service provided by various communication companies. Any disruption of these services could adversely affect our business. We have taken steps to mitigate our exposure to service disruptions by investing in complex and multi-layered redundancies, and we can transition services among our different call centers. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that the redundancies we have in place would be sufficient to maintain the call centers' operations without disruption. Any disruption could harm our customer relationships and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Personal Care Segment
Competition among in-home personal care, or home healthcare, services companies is significant, and if we are not successful in executing on our strategies in the face of this competition, our business could be materially adversely affected.
The in-home personal care services industry, which is sometimes referred to as the home healthcare services industry, is highly competitive. Our Personal Care segment competes with a variety of other companies in providing personal care services, some of which may have greater financial and other resources and may be more established in their respective communities. Competing companies may offer newer or different services from those offered by us, which may attract
customers who are presently receiving our in-home personal care services to those other companies. Competing companies may also offer services across a greater continuum of care and therefore may be able to obtain new cases or retain patients that might otherwise choose us. In the areas in which our in-home personal care programs are provided, we also compete with a large number of organizations, including:
•community-based home healthcare providers;
•hospital-based home healthcare agencies;
•rehabilitation centers, including those providing home healthcare services;
•adult day care centers;
•assisted living centers;
•skilled nursing facilities; and
•fiscal intermediaries that process payroll and undertake other administrative responsibilities related to the provision of care by a patient’s family members or other directly-hired personal assistants.
Some of our current and potential competitors have or may obtain significantly greater marketing and financial resources to promote their programs than we have or may obtain. We compete based on the availability of personnel, the quality of services, the expertise of staff and, in some instances, the price of the services. Relatively few barriers to entry in the personal care industry exist in our local markets. Accordingly, other companies, including hospitals and other healthcare organizations that are not currently providing in-home personal care services, may expand their services to include those services or similar services. We may encounter increased competition in the future that could negatively impact patient referrals to us and limit our ability to maintain or increase our market position, the effect of any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
If any large, national healthcare entities that do not currently directly compete with us move into the in-home personal care market, competition could significantly increase. Larger, national healthcare entities have significant financial resources and extensive technology infrastructure. In addition, companies that currently compete with respect to some of our personal care services could begin competing with additional services through the acquisition of an existing company or de novo expansion into these services. Additionally, consolidation, especially by way of the acquisition of any of our competitors by any large, national healthcare entity, could also lead to increased competition.
State certificates of need, or CON, laws, which often limit the ability of competitors to enter into a given market, are not uniform throughout the United States and are frequently the subject of efforts to limit or repeal such laws. If states remove existing CON laws, we could face increased competition in these states. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to maintain relationships with existing patient referral sources, our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Our success in entering the markets we serve depends on referrals from physicians, hospitals, nursing homes, service coordination agencies, MCOs, health plans and other sources in the communities we serve and on our ability to maintain good relationships with existing referral sources. Our referral sources are not contractually obligated to refer patients to us and may refer their patients to other providers. Our growth and profitability depends, in part, on our ability to establish and maintain close working relationships with these patient referral sources and to increase awareness and acceptance of the benefits of personal care services by our referral sources and their patients. Our loss of, or failure to maintain, existing relationships or our failure to develop new referral relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Many states have CON laws or other regulatory and licensure obligations that may adversely affect the successful integration of our personal care service lines and that may adversely affect our ability to expand into new markets and thereby limit our ability to grow and increase net patient service revenue.
Many states have enacted CON laws that require prior state approval to open new healthcare facilities or expand services at existing facilities. In such states, expansion by existing providers or entry into the market by new providers is permitted only where a given amount of unmet need exists, resulting either from population increases or a reduction in competing providers. These states ration the entry of new providers or services and the expansion of existing providers or services in their markets through a CON process, which is periodically evaluated and updated as required by applicable state law. The process is intended to promote comprehensive healthcare planning, assist in providing high-quality healthcare at the lowest possible cost and avoid unnecessary duplication by ensuring that only those healthcare facilities and operations that are
needed will be built and opened. New York, New Jersey, and West Virginia have CON laws applicable to the in-home personal care services we provide.
In every state where required, our home healthcare offices and personal care centers possess a license and/or CON issued by the state health authority that determines the local service areas for the home healthcare office or personal care center. In general, the process for opening a home healthcare office or personal care center begins by a provider submitting an application for licensure and certification to the state and federal regulatory bodies, which is followed by a testing period of transmitting data from the applicant to the CMS. Once this process is complete, the care center receives a provider agreement and corresponding number and can begin billing for services that it provides unless a CON is required. For those states that require a CON, the provider must also complete a separate application process before billing can commence and receive required approvals for capital expenditures exceeding amounts above prescribed thresholds. Our failure or inability to obtain any necessary approvals could adversely affect our ability to expand into new markets and to expand our Personal Care segment services and facilities in existing markets.
If a state with CON laws finds that there is an over-abundance of one type of Medicaid provider within the state, it may, for a period of time, impose a moratorium against the issuance of new Medicaid licenses for that type of service. While a moratorium would not prohibit us from continuing to provide services for which we are already licensed in that state, it may prevent us from entering a new state de novo, which could limit our expansion opportunities, affect our ability to execute on our business strategies and materially harm our business and operations.
We may not, absent the consent of the New York Department of Health, be able to manage the day to day operations of the licensed in-home personal care services agency business in the State of New York, which would have an adverse impact on our expected results from that acquisition and could result in a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Our operation of our licensed in-home personal care services agency business in the State of New York is subject to a “no control” affidavit process. We submitted our relevant information associated with this process concurrently with the closing of the Simplura acquisition, but while we wait for necessary approvals, we will be limited in our ability to exercise control over the personal care business there for operational matters until such time that our ownership of that business is approved by the New York Department of Health. We can provide no assurance regarding the timing of the approval of this change of ownership by the New York Department of Health, or that such approval will be obtained at all. During this time, we cannot exercise day to day management of these entities, and the pre-acquisition management of Simplura or individuals hired by the pre-acquisition management of Simplura will continue to operate the business. There is no prohibition on these entities making cash distributions to us during this interim period, but there can be no assurance that we will obtain the necessary authorization from the New York Department of Health to remove the “no control” affidavit and operate this business ourselves. If we are not able to ultimately take over control of these operations, or if we are only able to do so on a more limited basis than anticipated, we may not achieve the synergies and operational benefits expected from the Simplura acquisition as contemplated and our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Changes in the case-mix of our personal care patients, as well as payor mix and payment methodologies, may have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
The sources and amounts of our patient revenues are determined by a number of factors, including the mix of patients and the rates of reimbursement among payors. Changes in the case-mix of the patients as well as payor mix among private pay, Medicare and Medicaid, as well as specialty programs, including waiver programs within Medicaid, may significantly affect our profitability. In particular, any significant increase in our Medicaid population or decrease in Medicaid payments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flow, particularly if states operating these programs continue to limit, or more aggressively seek limits on, reimbursement rates or service levels.
Our loss of existing favorable managed care contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
There is a risk that our existing favorable managed care contracts could be terminated. Managed care contracts typically permit us or the payor to terminate the contract without cause, typically within 90 days, which can provide payors leverage to reduce volume or obtain favorable pricing. Our failure to negotiate and put in place favorable managed care contracts, or our failure to maintain favorable managed care contracts, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The personal care industry has historically experienced shortages in qualified employees and management, which could harm our business.
Our personal care services compete with other healthcare providers for both professional and management level employees. Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel depends on several factors, including our ability to provide these personnel with attractive assignments for the desired number of hours per week and competitive compensation and benefits. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in any of these areas. As the demand for personal care services continues to exceed the supply of available and qualified personnel, our competitors may be forced to offer more attractive wage and benefit packages to these professionals. Furthermore, the competitive market for this labor force has created turnover as many seek to take advantage of the supply of available positions, each offering new and more attractive wage and benefit packages. In addition to the wage pressures inherent in this environment, including any changes to minimum wage, the cost of training new employees amid the turnover rates may cause added pressure on our operating results and harm our business.
Our personal care business may be adversely impacted by labor relations which could create labor disruptions that impact our ability to perform our obligations.
Approximately 2,700 of our hourly caregivers are unionized in regions of New York. Certain collective bargaining agreements with the 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East are currently being negotiated, and others will require renegotiation upon expiration. We may not be able to negotiate terms that are satisfactory to the labor unions, and ultimate agreement may be on terms unfavorable to us. In addition, a unionized work force poses the risk of work stoppages, which if initiated could materially harm our results of operations as well as our commercial relationships with our customers if we are unable to perform under our contracts with them during any such stoppage.
If additional regions in which we operate become unionized, or if we expand our personal care operations into geographic areas where healthcare workers historically have been unionized, being subject to additional collective bargaining agreements may have a negative impact on our ability to timely and successfully recruit qualified personnel and may increase our operating costs. Generally, if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, the quality of our services may decline and we could lose patients and referral sources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our Personal Care segment may be subject to malpractice or other similar claims, which could adversely impact our brand and our success in the marketplace.
The services our Personal Care segment offers involve an inherent risk of professional liability and related substantial damage awards. Due to the nature of our personal care business, we, through our employees and caregivers who provide services on our behalf, may be the subject of medical malpractice claims. A court could find that these individuals should be considered our agents, and, as a result, we could be held liable for their acts or omissions. Claims of this nature, regardless of their ultimate outcome, could have a material adverse effect on our business or reputation or on our ability to attract and retain patients and employees. While we maintain malpractice liability coverage that we believe is appropriate given the nature and breadth of our operations, any claims against us in excess of insurance limits, or multiple claims requiring us to pay deductibles, could have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Related to Our Remote Patient Monitoring Segment
We operate in a competitive industry, and any failure to develop and enhance technology applications could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Strategic shifts in the industry as a result of the pandemic toward in-home care solutions have accelerated the growth in the RPM industry which is a competitive industry and we expect it to attract increased competition, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We currently face competition in the RPM industry from a range of companies, including specialized software and solution providers that offer similar solutions, often at substantially lower prices, and that are continuing to develop additional products and becoming more sophisticated and effective. In addition, large, well-financed health plans have in some cases developed their own telehealth, expert medical service or chronic condition management tools and may provide these solutions to their customers at discounted prices. Competition from specialized software and solution providers, health plans and other parties will result in continued pricing pressures, which is likely to lead to price declines in certain product segments, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability and market share.
Some of our competitors may have, or new competitors or alliances may emerge that have, greater name recognition, a larger customer base, longer operating histories, more widely-adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, larger sales forces and significantly greater resources than we do. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and
may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary products, technologies or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of our markets, which could create additional price pressure. In light of these factors, even if our solutions are more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential customers may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing our solutions. If we are unable to successfully compete, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
If we do not continue to innovate and provide services that are useful to customers and achieve and maintain market acceptance, we may not remain competitive, and our revenue and results of operations could suffer.
Our success depends on our ability to keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements, and achieve and maintain market acceptance on our existing and future services in the rapidly evolving market for the management and administration of healthcare services. In addition, market acceptance and adoption of our existing and future services depends on the acceptance by health plans and provider partners as to the distinct features, cost savings and other perceived benefits of our existing and future offerings as compared to competitive alternative services. Our competitors are constantly developing products and services that may become more efficient or appealing to our customers. As a result, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and development in order to enhance our existing services and introduce new services that our customers will want, while offering our existing and future services at competitive prices. If we are unable to predict customer preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our existing and future services on a timely or cost-effective basis, we may lose customers and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be harmed.
If we are not successful in demonstrating to existing and potential customers the benefits of our existing and future services, or if we are not able to achieve the support of health plans and provider partners for our existing and future services, our revenue may decline or we may fail to increase our revenue in line with our forecasts. Our results of operations would also suffer if our technology and other innovations are not responsive to the needs of our customers, are not timed to match the corresponding market opportunity, or are not effectively brought to market.
Risks Related to Our Corporate and Other Segment
Our investment in Matrix could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on our equity investment’s financial condition, any disputes that may arise between us and Matrix and our exposure to potential losses from the actions of Matrix, and could materially and adversely affect the value of our consolidated assets.
We hold a non-controlling interest in Matrix, which, as of December 31, 2022, constituted 2.1% of our consolidated assets. We do not have unilateral power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Matrix’s economic performance. The arrangement with Matrix involves risks not present with respect to our wholly-owned subsidiaries and that may negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations or make the arrangement less successful than anticipated. Factors that may negatively impact the success of our Matrix investment include the following:
•we may be unable to take actions that we believe are appropriate but are opposed by Matrix under arrangements that require us to cede or share decision-making authority over major decisions affecting the ownership or operation of the company and any property owned by the company, such as the sale or financing of the business or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the business;
•Matrix management may take actions that we oppose;
•we may be unable to sell or transfer our investment to a third party if we fail to obtain the prior consent of our investment partner;
•Matrix may become bankrupt or the majority member may fail to fund its share of required capital contributions, which could adversely impact the investment or increase our financial commitment to the investment;
•Matrix may have business interests or goals with respect to a business that conflict with our business interests and goals, including with respect to the timing, terms and strategies for investment, which could increase the likelihood of disputes regarding the ownership, management or disposition of the business;
•disagreements with Matrix could result in litigation or arbitration that increases our expenses, distracts our management, and disrupts the day-to-day operations of the business, including the delay of important decisions until the dispute is resolved; and
•we may suffer losses as a result of actions taken by Matrix with respect to our investment.
If any of the foregoing events were to transpire, our results of operations and liquidity position could be materially adversely affected and our business could be materially harmed.
Risks Related to Governmental Regulations
Healthcare is a heavily regulated industry, and compliance with existing laws is costly, and non-compliance has the potential to be even costlier considering that violations of laws may result in corrective action or sanctions that could reduce our revenue and profitability.
The United States healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal and state oversight relating to, among other things:
•professional licensure;
•conduct of operations;
•addition of facilities, equipment and services, including certificates of need, or CON;
•coding and billing related to our services; and
•payment for services.
Both federal and state government agencies have increased coordinated civil and criminal enforcement efforts related to the healthcare industry. Regulations related to the healthcare industry are extremely complex and, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation of those laws.
Medicare and Medicaid anti-fraud and abuse laws prohibit certain business practices and relationships related to items and services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental healthcare programs, including the payment or receipt of remuneration to induce or arrange for referral of patients or recommendation for the provision of items or services covered by Medicare or Medicaid or any other federal or state healthcare program, often referred to as the Anti-Kickback Statute. Federal and state laws also prohibit the submission of false or fraudulent claims, including claims to obtain reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid, under what is commonly referred to as the False Claims Act. We have implemented policies to help assure our compliance with these regulations as they become effective, but interpretations different from our interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations in the future could subject our practices to allegations of impropriety, illegality, or overpayment, or could require us to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services or the manner in which we conduct our business, any of which could increase costs and could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Changes to the regulatory landscape applicable to our businesses could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our Personal Care segment locations that maintain a Medicare certified home healthcare line of business (for example, in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts) must comply with ever changing federal conditions or participation, where compliance is difficult to achieve and hard to monitor. Recently implemented requirements for which adherence is particularly challenging include the need to:
•provide transfer summary to facility within two days of a planned transfer or within two business days of becoming aware of an unplanned transfer if the patient is still receiving care in the facility;
•provide written notice of patient’s rights and responsibilities, and transfer and discharge policies to a patient‑selected representative within four business days of the initial evaluation visit;
•communicate revisions to the plan of care due to change in health status to the patient, representative (if any), caregiver and physicians issuing orders for plan of care; and
•communicate discharge plan revisions to the patient, representative (if any), caregiver, all physicians issuing orders for the plan of care and to the provider expected to care for the patient after discharge (if any).
CMS could adopt new requirements or guidelines that may further increase the costs associated with the provision of certified services, which could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
In New York, we provide Service Coordination, or SC, and/or Home and Community Support Services, or HCSS, to 731 Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI, and Nursing Home Transition and Diversion, or NHTD, Medicaid waiver participants. These waiver programs were developed based on the philosophy that individuals with disabilities, individuals with traumatic brain injury, and seniors, may be successfully served and included in their surrounding communities so long as the individual is the primary decision maker and works in cooperation with care providers to develop a plan of services that promotes personal independence, greater community inclusion, self-reliance and participation in meaningful activities and services. Examples of activities that are at various stages of implementation that may implicate or materially adversely affect our waiver line of business profitability follow.
•Conflict Free Case Management – The NYS DOH, in collaboration with CMS, is implementing mandatory conflict-free case management policies. Conflict-free case management requires the separation of clinical eligibility determinations and care planning assessments (for example, SC) from the direct provision of services (for example, HCSS). Providers in the personal care industry are expected to implement additional conflict of interest standards that may or may not ultimately require the creation of legally separate entities with distinct protocols.
•Managed Long-Term Care Carve-In – Managed Long-Term Care, or MLTC, is a system believed to streamline the delivery of long-term care services to people who are chronically ill or disabled and who wish to reside, or continue to reside, safely in their homes and communities. The entire array of services to which an enrolled member is entitled can be received through the MLTC plan a particular member has chosen. As New York transforms its long-term care system to one that ensures care management for all, enrollment in a MLTC plan may be mandatory or voluntary, depending on individual circumstances. While TBI and NHTD participants are currently excluded from having to enroll in a MLTC plan (for example, SC and HCSS claims are billed and paid on a Medicaid fee-for-service basis), the NYS DOH submitted a transition plan to CMS for consideration that eliminates the exclusion, meaning that TBI and NHTD waiver participants who wish to continue receiving services must enroll in a plan. While the primary goal stated was to improve access to all services across the state, the result may also require our navigation of network participation requirements and typical managed care cost control measures (for example, authorizations, utilization review, rate negotiation).
Regarding in-home personal care generally (including certified or non-certified and waiver or non-waiver), compliance with responsibilities under the Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, remains key. The United States Department of Labor, or DOL, continues its focus on the industry to ensure that personal care workers earn a minimum wage and are afforded various overtime pay protections. We may be sued individually or by a class of workers claiming that a violation has occurred, or a complaint may be filed with the DOL to investigate. If it is ultimately found that we neglected to pay the full amount of wages owed under the FLSA (for meals, breaks, travel, or otherwise), payment for the missing amount and possibly double that amount may be mandated, which could materially increase our costs and harm our results of operations.
With respect to our Matrix investment, the CHA services industry is primarily regulated by federal and state healthcare laws and the requirements of participation and reimbursement of the Medicare Advantage program established by CMS. From time to time, CMS considers changes to regulatory guidelines with respect to prospective CHAs or the risk adjusted payment system applicable to Matrix’s Medicare Advantage plan customers. CMS could adopt new requirements or guidelines that may, for example, increase the costs associated with CHAs, limit the opportunities and settings available to administer CHAs, or otherwise change the risk adjusted payment system in a way that would adversely impact our business. Further, changes in or adoption of new state laws governing the scope of practice of mid-level practitioners, or more restrictive interpretations of such laws, may restrict Matrix’s ability to provide services using nurse practitioners. Any such implementation of additional regulations on the CHA industry by CMS or other regulatory bodies or further regulation of mid-level practitioners could have a material adverse impact on Matrix’s revenues and margins, which could have a material adverse impact on our balance sheet and financial position.
The cost of our services is funded substantially by government and private insurance programs, and changes in budgetary priorities of the government entities or private insurance programs that fund these services could result in the loss of contracts, a reduction in reimbursement rates, or a decrease in amounts payable to us under our contracts.
Payments for our services are largely derived from contracts that are directly or indirectly paid by government agencies with public funds and private insurance companies. All of these contracts are subject to legislative appropriations and state and/or national budget approval, as well as changes to potential eligibility for services. The availability of funding under our contracts with state governments is dependent in part upon federal funding to states. Changes in Medicaid provider reimbursement and federal matching funds methodologies may further reduce the availability of federal funds to states in which we provide services.
Currently, many of the states in which we operate are facing budgetary shortfalls or changes in budgetary priorities. While many of these states are dealing with budgetary concerns by shifting costs from institutional care to home and community-based care such as the services we provide, there is no assurance that this trend will continue or be implemented as it has been historically. For example, in New York (one of several states where our Personal Care segment provides services under the name “All Metro Health Care”), there are Medicaid Redesign Team initiatives taking place aimed at reducing Medicaid expense through provider consolidation and other measures. Our continued ability to provide core services, though expected, is now dependent upon various competitive bid processes, including the following:
•LHCSA Request for Proposal (Anticipated) – The FY 2021 enacted New York State Budget created a new Public Health Law, or PHL, Section 3605-c which, if implemented, would prohibit Licensed Home Care Service Agencies, or LHCSAs, such as our Personal Care segment’s individually-licensed branches, from providing or claiming for services provided to Medicaid recipients without being authorized to do so by contract with the NYS DOH. This restriction would apply to the provision of such services under the state Medicaid plan, a plan waiver, or through an MCO (for example, managed long-term care plan). If implemented, the statute would require the NYS DOH to contract with only enough LHCSAs to ensure that Medicaid recipients have access to care. The NYS DOH is expected to post an RFP that includes demonstrated cultural and language competencies specific to the population of recipients and the available workforce, experience serving individuals with disabilities, and demonstrated compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations among the selection criteria. After contracts are awarded, the NYS DOH could terminate a LHCSA’s contract, or suspend or limit a LHCSA’s rights and privileges under a contract, upon thirty-days' written notice if the Commissioner of Health finds that a LHCSA has failed to comply with the provisions of Section 3605-c or any regulations promulgated under the statute. Also, authorization received by LHCSAs under PHL Section 3605-c would not substitute for satisfying existing licensure requirements or the screening and enrollment process required for participation in the Medicaid program.
Consequently, a significant decline in government or private insurance company expenditures or the number of program beneficiaries, a shift of expenditures or funding away from programs that call for the types of services that we provide, or change in government contracting or funding policies could cause payors to terminate their contracts with us or reduce their expenditures or reimbursement rates under those contracts, either of which could have a negative impact on our financial position and operating results.
We are subject to regulations relating to privacy and security of patient and service user information, and our failure to comply with such regulations could result in a material adverse impact on our operating results.
There are numerous federal and state regulations addressing patient information privacy and security concerns. In particular, the federal regulations issued under HIPAA contain provisions that:
•protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of patient information;
•require the implementation of security safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form; and
•prescribe specific transaction formats and data code sets for certain electronic healthcare transactions.
Compliance with state and federal privacy laws and regulations requires considerable resources. These costs and investments could negatively impact our financial position and results of operations. Further, the HIPAA regulations and state privacy laws expose us to increased regulatory risk, as the penalties associated with a failure to comply or with information security breaches, even if unintentional, could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We could be subject to actions for false claims or recoupment of funds pursuant to certain audits for non-compliance with government coding and billing rules, which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
If we fail to comply with federal and state documentation, coding and billing rules, we could be subject to criminal or civil penalties, loss of licenses and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and operating results. In billing for our services to third-party clients, we must follow complex documentation, coding and billing rules. These rules are based on federal and state laws, rules and regulations, various government pronouncements, including guidance and notices, and industry practice. Failure to follow these rules could result in potential criminal or civil liability under the federal False Claims Act, under which extensive financial penalties can be imposed, or under various state statutes which prohibit the submission of false claims for services covered. Compliance failure could further result in criminal liability under various federal and state criminal or civil statutes. We may be subject to audits conducted by our clients or their proxies, including the Office of Inspector General, or OIG, for the Department of Health and Human Services, or DHHS, state Medicaid regulatory agencies, state Medicaid fraud enforcement agencies, health departments, CMS, the Unified Program Integrity Contractors and regional federal program integrity contractors for the Medicare and Medicaid programs that may result in recoupment of funds. In addition, our clients may be subject to certain audits that may result in recoupment of funds from our clients that may, in turn, implicate us. We could be adversely affected in the event such an audit results in negative findings and recoupment from or penalties to our customers.
Our contracts are subject to stringent claims and invoice processing regimes which vary depending on the customer and nature of the payment mechanism. Government entities may take the position that if a transport cannot be matched to a
medically necessary healthcare event, or is conducted inconsistently with contractual, regulatory or even policy requirements, payment for such transport may be recouped by such customer. Likewise, a government surveyor may determine that a personal care visit was not sufficiently supported by a time and attendance record and/or that the aide was not qualified on a particular date of service and seek a refund as a result.
While we carefully and regularly review documentation, and coding and billing practices, the rules are frequently vague and confusing and they cannot ensure that governmental investigators, private insurers or private whistleblowers will not challenge our practices. Such a challenge could result in a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We could be subject to civil penalties and loss of business if we fail to comply with applicable bribery, corruption and other regulations governing business with public organizations.
We are subject to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for referring, ordering, leasing, purchasing or arranging for or recommending the ordering, purchasing or leasing of items or services payable by a federally funded healthcare program. Any of our financial relationships with healthcare providers will be potentially implicated by this statute to the extent Medicare or Medicaid referrals are implicated. Violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute could result in substantial civil or criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $100,000 per violation, imprisonment of up to ten years, civil penalties under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of up to $100,000 per violation, plus three times the remuneration involved, civil penalties under the False Claims Act of up to $22,363 for each claim submitted, plus three times the amounts paid for such claims and exclusion from participation in the Medicaid and Medicare programs. Any such penalties could have a significant negative effect on our operations. Furthermore, the exclusion could result in significant reductions in our revenues, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.
Our business is subject to licensing regulations and other regulatory provisions, including provisions governing surveys and audits, and changes to, or violations of, these regulations could negatively impact us.
In many of the locations where we operate, we are required by local laws to obtain and maintain licenses. The applicable state and local licensing requirements govern the services we provide, the credentials of staff, record keeping, treatment planning, client monitoring and supervision of staff. The failure to maintain these licenses or the loss of a license could have a material adverse impact on us and could prevent us from providing services to clients in a given jurisdiction. Our contracts are subject to surveys or audit by our payors or clients. We are also subject to regulations that restrict our ability to contract directly with a government agency in certain situations. Such restrictions could affect our ability to contract with certain payors and clients, and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our contracts are subject to audit and modification by the payors with whom we contract, at their sole discretion, and any such audits and modifications could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our businesses depend on our ability to perform successfully under various government funded contracts. Under the terms of these contracts, payors, government agencies or their proxy contractors can review our compliance or performance, as well as our records and general business practices, at any time, and may in their discretion:
•suspend or prevent us from receiving new contracts or extending existing contracts because of violations or suspected violations of procurement laws or regulations;
•terminate or modify our existing contracts;
•seek to recoup the amount we were paid and/or reduce the amount we are paid under our existing contracts; or
•audit and object to our contract related fees.
Any increase in the number or scope of audits could increase our expenses, and the audit process may disrupt the day-to-day operations of our business and distract management. If payors have significant audit findings, or if they make material modifications to our contracts, it could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.
State revalidation and potential reduction of eligible Medicaid beneficiaries following the expiration of the COVID-19 public health emergency under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (2020) could diminish the demand for our services, affect the profitability of our capitated contracts with our customers, and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (2020) requires states to maintain Medicaid beneficiary eligibility for all Medicaid participants through the last day of the month in which the COVID-19 public health emergency ends. Prior to the enactment of the Act, states regularly reviewed on an on-going basis whether Medicaid participants qualified for the program, based on factors such as income, age or disability status. While states have been prohibited from removing ineligible participants from their Medicaid rolls, new enrollment has also steadily increased, resulting in record high levels of Medicaid participation. Once the federal government determines under the Act that the public health emergency has ended, which could occur any time after April 16, 2022, states must revalidate the eligibility of each Medicaid beneficiary once every 12 months. During this process, a significant number of Medicaid beneficiaries could lose Medicaid coverage, not only because of changed circumstances such as regained employment, but also as a result of clerical and other errors that may leave otherwise eligible beneficiaries off the rolls due to the administrative burden to be placed on short-staffed state and local offices. A drop in Medicaid enrollment could affect adversely our ability to be reimbursed by our customers for the services we provide to our end-users, our NEMT per-member per-month fee generation under our capitated contracts, and our FFS payments and the demand for our services generally, the occurrence of any of which could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
Our existing debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our agreements covering our outstanding indebtedness, including the New Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our Notes due 2025 and 2029, respectively, contain various covenants that limit or will limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These agreements may, among other things, limit our ability to:
•incur additional debt;
•provide guarantees in respect of obligations of other persons;
•issue redeemable stock and preferred stock;
•pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock;
•make loans, investments and acquisitions;
•enter into transactions with affiliates;
•create or incur liens;
•make distributions from our subsidiaries;
•permit contractual obligations that burden our ability to make distributions from our subsidiaries;
•sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries;
•make prepayments on subordinated debt; and
•consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person.
A breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under the applicable agreements that govern our indebtedness, including as a result of cross default provisions, and, in the case of our New Credit Facility, permit the lenders to cease making loans to us. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our New Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our New Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Such actions by those lenders could cause cross defaults under our other indebtedness. In the event of acceleration of our outstanding indebtedness, we cannot assure you that we would be able to repay the debt or obtain new financing to refinance the debt. Even if new financing is made available to us, it may not be on terms acceptable to us. If we were unable to repay these amounts, certain debt holders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the indebtedness, including the equity of subsidiary guarantors that we have pledged as collateral, pursuant to our New Credit Agreement. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected and the value of our equity could be materially diminished.
We have substantial indebtedness and lease obligations that could affect our ability to meet our obligations under our indebtedness and lease obligations and may otherwise restrict our activities and harm our operations and business.
Our substantial indebtedness and lease obligations could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate indebtedness, and prevent us from meeting our obligations under the New Credit Facility and our Notes due 2025 and 2029. Our substantial indebtedness and lease obligations could have important consequences, including:
•increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or competitive developments;
•requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and lease payments under our leases, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;
•exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates because certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under the New Credit Facility, are at variable rates of interest;
•making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing such indebtedness, including the New Credit Facility and the Notes due 2025 and 2029;
•restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
•imposing restrictions on the operation of our business that may hinder our ability to take advantage of strategic opportunities or to grow our business;
•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures (including real estate acquisitions), debt service requirements and general corporate or other purposes, which could be exacerbated by volatility in the credit markets; and
•limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any of our competitors who are less leveraged and who therefore may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance our indebtedness depends on and is subject to our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors, all of which are beyond our control, including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt, to refinance our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. Any refinancing or restructuring of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants that could further restrict our business operations. Further, in the event of a default, the holders of our indebtedness could elect to declare such indebtedness be due and payable, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Expiration of our New Credit Agreement, loss of available financing or an inability to renew or refinance our debt could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The indebtedness subject to our Notes matures in 2025 and 2029 and subject to our New Credit Agreement matures in 2027 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to payoff timely or refinance our Notes or extend our indebtedness under our New Credit Agreement or enter into a new one on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If our cash on hand is insufficient, or we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows in the future to cover our cash flow and liquidity needs and service our debt, we may be required to seek additional sources of funds, including extending or replacing our indebtedness, refinancing all or a portion of our existing or future indebtedness, incurring additional indebtedness to maintain sufficient cash flow to fund our ongoing operating needs and fund anticipated expenditures. There can be no assurance that any new financing or refinancing will be possible or obtained on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain needed financing, we may (i) be unable to satisfy our ongoing obligations, (ii) be unable to pursue future business opportunities or fund acquisitions, (iii) find it more difficult to fund future operating costs, tax payments or general corporate expenditures, and (iv) become vulnerable to adverse general economic, capital markets and industry conditions. Any of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.
We may incur substantial additional indebtedness, which could impair our financial condition.
We may incur substantial additional indebtedness to fund our activities, including to fund share repurchases, acquisitions, cash dividends and business expansion. While our New Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Any additional indebtedness would increase the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay amounts due in respect of such indebtedness, and the risks that we already face as a result of our leverage would intensify. Future substantial indebtedness could also have other important consequences on our business. For example, it could:
•make it more difficult for us to satisfy our existing obligations;
•make it more difficult to renew or enter into new contracts with existing and potential future clients;
•limit our ability to borrow additional amounts to fund, among other things, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, the execution of our business strategy or acquisitions;
•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay principal and interest on our debt, which would reduce the funds available to us for other purposes;
•restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from any such dispositions;
•restrict our ability to raise debt or equity capital to be used to repay other indebtedness when it becomes due;
•make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions, as well as in government regulation and to our business; and
•expose us to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations because some of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest, which could result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates.
Our ability to satisfy and manage our debt obligations depends on our ability to generate cash flow and on overall financial market conditions. To some extent, this is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to permit us to pay principal, premium, if any, or interest on our debt obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt obligations and meet our other cash needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell or curtail assets or operations, seek additional capital, or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. If we must sell or curtail our assets or operations, it may negatively affect our ability to generate revenue.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
If we are unable to remediate recently identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or if we experience additional material weaknesses or other deficiencies or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately and timely report our financial results, in which case our business may be harmed, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the price of our common stock may decline.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of our system of internal control. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). We are required to furnish annually a report by management of its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our most recent fiscal year. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide a related attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with our 2022 year-end assessment of internal control over financial reporting, we determined that, as of December 31, 2022, we did not (i) conduct an effective risk assessment to identify and assess changes in our internal control environment, specifically related to new IT systems and newly acquired companies, (ii) structure effective reporting lines, appropriate authorities, or responsibilities, or (iii) establish mechanisms to enforce accountability in the pursuit of objectives to establish and operate effective internal control over financial reporting. For further discussion of the material weaknesses identified and our remedial efforts, see Item 9A, Controls and Procedures.
Remediation efforts place a significant burden on management and add increased pressure to our financial resources and processes. As a result, we may not be successful in making the improvements necessary to remediate the material weaknesses identified by management, or do so in a timely manner, or identify and remediate additional control deficiencies, including material weaknesses, in the future.
If we are unable to remediate successfully our existing or any future material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting: the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected; our liquidity, our access to capital markets, the perceptions of our creditworthiness, and our ability to complete acquisitions may be adversely affected; we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable securities laws, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) listing requirements, and the covenants under our debt instruments or derivative arrangements regarding the timely filing of periodic reports; we may be subject to regulatory investigations and penalties; investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting; and we may suffer defaults, accelerations, or cross-accelerations under our debt instruments or derivative arrangements to the extent we are unable to obtain waivers from the required creditors or counterparties or are unable to cure any breaches. If any such event or circumstance were to occur, our stock price could decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Future sales of shares of our common stock by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of December 31, 2022, we had 19,729,923 shares of common stock outstanding that were freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless held by or purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Shares of our common stock held by or purchased by our affiliates are restricted or “covered” securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, but will be eligible for resale subject to applicable volume, means of sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
With respect to our stockholders Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P. and Blackwell Partners, LLC - Series A, as well as our former stockholder Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P, which we sometimes refer to collectively as the Coliseum Stockholders, any or all of which may continue to be considered an affiliate or affiliates of ours, we have filed a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act covering the resale by the Coliseum Stockholders of an aggregate of 1,282,055 shares of our common stock that continue to be held by the Coliseum Stockholders. As a result, such shares may be sold pursuant to the registration statement without regard to the volume and other limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act that would otherwise be applicable to such sales.
We also filed a registration statement under the Securities Act to register additional shares of common stock to be issued under our Amended and Restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or Incentive Plan, and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of stock options or vesting of shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units granted under our Incentive Plan will also be freely tradable under the Securities Act, unless purchased or acquired by our affiliates under the plan. As of December 31, 2022, there were vested stock options outstanding and exercisable to purchase a total of 26,332 shares of our common stock and there were 124,898 shares of our common stock subject to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance based stock units under the plan. In addition, 1,177,991 shares of our common stock are reserved for future issuances under the Incentive Plan.
Our annual operating results and stock price may be volatile or may decline significantly regardless of our operating performance.
Our annual operating results and the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which we cannot control, including:
•changes in rates or coverage for services by payors;
•changes in Medicaid, Medicare or other United States federal or state rules, regulations or policies;
•market conditions or trends in our industry or the economy as a whole, including increases in the minimum wage requirements in various jurisdictions in which we operate, and fluctuations in the size of the Medicare member population as well as overall health of its members;
•increased competition, including through insourcing of services by our clients and new entrants to the market;
•negative effects from war, incidents of terrorism, natural disasters, pandemics, or responses to these events;
•changes in tax laws; and
•changes in accounting principles.
If any of these events or circumstances were to impact our results or stock price, our common stock price could decrease and the value of an investment in our common stock would experience a corresponding decrease.
In addition, the stock markets, and in particular NASDAQ, have experienced considerable price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we become involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs, and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.
The Company depends on its subsidiaries for cash to fund all of its operations and expenses, including to make future dividend payments or to fund stock repurchases, if any, and there can be no assurance that our subsidiaries will make available to us the funds necessary for us to fund our operations and capital needs.
Our operations are conducted entirely through our subsidiaries. Our ability to generate cash to fund all of our operations and expenses, to pay dividends or complete stock repurchase programs, or to meet any debt service obligations is highly dependent on our subsidiaries’ earnings and the receipt of funds from our subsidiaries by way of dividends or
intercompany loans. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our and our subsidiaries’ future earnings, if any, to fund our growth, to develop our business, invest in our technology, for working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. To the extent that we determine in the future to pay dividends on our common stock, however, none of our subsidiaries will be obligated to make funds available to us for the payment of dividends. Similarly, our subsidiaries are not obligated to make funds available to us to fund stock repurchases. Further, our New Credit Agreement significantly restricts the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans or otherwise transfer assets to us. In addition, Delaware law imposes solvency restrictions on our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future and the success of an investment in shares of our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares. Furthermore, if the subsidiaries are unable or unwilling to fund our cash needs when needed or desired, our results of operations and business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts downgrade our stock or publish misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline in reaction to such information. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause our common stock price or trading volume to decline.
Anti-takeover provisions in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws could discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws include a number of provisions that may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, including provisions governing when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable. As a result of these provisions, holders of our common stock may not receive the full benefit of any premium to the market price of our common stock offered by a bidder in a takeover context.
Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if the provisions are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws may also make it difficult for stockholders to replace or remove our management, including provisions providing for staggered terms for our Board of Directors (the "Board"), no cumulative voting for the election of directors, and provisions governing director vacancies, which are filled only by remaining directors (including vacancies resulting from removal or other cause). These provisions may facilitate management entrenchment that may delay, deter, render more difficult or prevent a change in our control, which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
Our principal executive offices are located in Denver, Colorado, where we have leased approximately 73,000 square feet of corporate office and operations space in an 11½ year operating lease.
We continue to lease our former principal executive offices located in Atlanta, Georgia, where we have leased through June 30, 2024 approximately 30,000 square feet of corporate office and operations space. The offices in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as 28 other leased facilities covering an aggregate of approximately 350,000 square feet of office and operational space, are utilized substantially in our NEMT segment.
We maintain offices for our Personal Care segment in Valley Stream, New York, where we have leased through November 30, 2025 approximately 14,000 square feet of corporate office and operations space. We have additional leased
space for our Personal Care segment in 69 locations covering an aggregate of approximately 200,000 square feet of office and operational space.
We maintain offices for our RPM segment in Franklin, Ohio, where we own the real estate for approximately 24,000 square feet of corporate office and operations space. In addition, we own real estate for our RPM segment in Sullivan, Illinois covering 23,000 square feet and we rent coworking space in various other locations as needed to support our operations.
The lease terms vary for all of our leased facilities, but we believe that they are all generally at market rates. We further believe that our properties are adequate for our current business needs and in any event we believe that we can obtain adequate additional or alternative space at market rates, if needed, to meet our foreseeable business needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time-to-time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We record accruals for outstanding legal matters when it is believed to be probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management, following consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of any such ongoing or anticipated matters to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. We cannot predict with certainty, however, the potential for or outcome of any litigation. Regardless of the outcome of any particular litigation and the merits of any particular claim, litigation can have a material adverse impact on our company due to, among other reasons, any injunctive relief granted which could inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as damages or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and defense costs. Refer to Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, for information concerning other potential contingent liabilities matters that do not rise to the level of materiality for purposes of disclosure hereunder.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements, as discussed in “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to those set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.
Overview of Our Business
Please refer to Item 1. “Business” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our services and corporate strategy.
ModivCare Inc. ("ModivCare" or the "Company") is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for public and private payors and their members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health, or SDoH, connect members to care, help health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation, or NEMT, personal care, and remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transportation management. Additionally, its personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including senior citizens and disabled adults. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring services include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. ModivCare is further expanding its offerings to include meal delivery and working with communities to provide meals to food-insecure individuals.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand (“Matrix”). Matrix, which is included in our Corporate and Other segment, maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services, and a fleet of mobile health clinics that provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities and enhanced care options.
Business Outlook and Trends
Our performance is affected by a number of trends that drive the demand for our services. In particular, the markets in which we operate are exposed to various trends, such as healthcare industry and demographic dynamics. Over the long term, we believe there are numerous factors that could affect growth within the industries in which we operate, including:
•an aging population, which is expected to increase demand for healthcare services and transportation and, accordingly, in-home personal care services;
•increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses that require active and ongoing monitoring of health data which can be accomplished at a lower cost and result in better health outcomes through remote patient monitoring services;
•a movement towards value-based care versus fee-for-service and cost plus care and budget pressure on governments, both of which may increase the use of private corporations to provide necessary and innovative services;
•increasing demand for in-home care provision, driven by cost pressures on traditional reimbursement models and technological advances enabling remote engagement, including remote monitoring and similar internet-based health related services;
•technological advancements, which may be utilized by us to improve services and lower costs, but may also be utilized by others, which may increase industry competitiveness; and
•MCO, Medicaid and Medicare plans increasingly are covering NEMT services for a variety of reasons, including increased access to care, improved patient compliance with treatment plans, social trends, and to promote SDoH, and this trend may be accelerated or reinforced by The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 ("H.R.133"), a component of which mandates that state Medicaid programs ensure that Medicaid beneficiaries have necessary transportation to and from health care providers.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in March 2020, we observed a material reduction in trip volume in our NEMT segment as a result of state imposed public health orders. While this reduction in trip volume has improved and the Company has experienced an increase in trip volume each year following the pandemic, structural changes in the industry as a result of the pandemic, predominantly related to an increase in the utilization of telehealth and virtual care, have continued to have an impact on the Company's trip volume. Any ongoing impact to trip volume as a result of this structural change in the
industry may have a negative financial impact on our transportation providers and may result in lower revenues as the Company adapts to this change in demand for transportation services. As volumes continue to increase to pre-pandemic levels, the availability of transportation providers in the future may be limited due to the capacity constraints within our network of transportation providers. Additionally, we may face staffing difficulties in our contact centers as the recruitment of potential employees may be challenging amid the current labor environment, which could negatively impact the customer and member experience while interfacing with our contact centers and materially adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
Our Personal Care segment also experienced a material reduction in volume of service hours and visits as a result of the pandemic. While this reduction in service hours and visits has continued to improve toward pre-pandemic levels each year following the pandemic, ongoing impacts of the pandemic including constraints on the labor market, specifically related to strain on healthcare professionals, has led to a shortage of caregivers which will continue to impact the volume of service hours that can be provided. Further, these labor constraints have driven increased wage rates, which limits the Company's ability to be profitable in contracts with set rates for various care services. Any depressed volumes as a result of the labor shortage and the strain on healthcare professionals could reduce the quality with which our caregivers provide services and could result in lower than expected revenue, in the Personal Care segment. As volume continues to increase, we may face difficulty meeting the volume of demand due to staffing challenges in the healthcare industry. Any of these circumstances and factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our RPM segment has not experienced a direct material impact to operations or financial activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While this segment of the business has proven resilient given the increase in demand for remote healthcare services in a highly contagious infection environment, potential risks could arise that could have a material impact on the financial results of the segment. Specifically, given the strain on the healthcare professionals that serve the healthcare community, we could experience shortages in qualified medical professionals that support our remote care monitoring business. Further, as this segment relies on patients receiving health monitoring devices for use in-home, any impact to the supply chain that ensures these critical devices arrive for active and continued vitals monitoring and data analytic solutions could have a negative impact on our business. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.
Furthermore, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the long-term effects of the pandemic are continuously evolving, and the continuation of the pandemic, any additional resurgence, or COVID-19 variants could continue to change trends in the market.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as revenue and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There are certain critical estimates that require significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:
•it requires us to make an assumption because information was not available at the time or it included matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made; and
•changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected may have had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Accrued Transportation Costs
Description. We generally pay our transportation providers for completed trips based on documentation submitted after services have been provided. The transportation service is initiated at the time a member submits a request for transportation services from our providers. At this time, we calculate an estimated transportation cost for each trip based on historical experience and contractual terms. This portion of the accrued transportation cost is based on requests for services we have received and the amount we expect to be billed by our transportation providers. All completed trips (both unbilled and billed) for which we have not yet issued payment reconcile to our total accrued transportation cost, however the critical accounting estimate that requires significant judgment is the portion of the accrual that is estimated at initiation of the member request.
Judgments and Uncertainties. The transportation cost accrual requires significant judgment as it is calculated using contractual rates and mileage estimates, as well as an estimated rate for unknown cancellations given that members may have requested transportation without yet notifying the Company of cancellation. Based upon historical trip experience and contractual terms, we estimate the amount of transportation cost incurred for invoices which have not yet been submitted. The estimates are routinely monitored and compared to actual invoiced costs. Actual cost could be greater or less than the amounts estimated due to facts and circumstances that differ from historical trends.
Sensitivity of Estimate to Change. The estimates for the transportation accrual are developed using assumptions based on the best information available to the Company at the time, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and as a result, actual results may differ significantly from estimates. In determining our estimate each period, we use data around historical trip experience, current contractual rates, and mileage estimates and use a third party consultant to assist in development of the accrual. Our December 31, 2022 estimated portion of the accrued transportation costs was $19.6 million greater than our estimated portion in 2021. The increase from 2021 to 2022 was a result of the overall increase in trip volume post COVID-19 pandemic. The assumptions used in the estimate inputs include estimated trip costs and estimated trip volume. If we were to assume that our estimate of future transportation costs was changed to the upper end or lower end of the range we developed in the course of formulating our estimate, the estimate for future transportation costs as of December 31, 2022 would range from $37.3 million to $45.6 million.
Recoverability of Goodwill
Description. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review goodwill for impairment annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the value may be impaired. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) the loss or modification of significant contracts, (2) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (3) unanticipated competition, (4) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (5) a significant decline in our stock price. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1. Goodwill is allocated across the Company's reporting units: NEMT, Personal Care, and RPM. We first perform qualitative assessments for each reporting unit to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment suggests that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value amount, we then perform a quantitative assessment and compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value is determined to exceed the estimated fair value, the asset is considered impaired.
Judgments and Uncertainties. When performing a quantitative assessment to estimate the fair value of the Company's goodwill, the Company applies the discounted cash flow method which includes assumptions on the projected future cash flows, earnings, discount rates, working capital adjustments, long-term growth rates, and others.
Sensitivity of Estimate to Change. The use of different estimates or assumptions in determining the fair value of our goodwill may result in a different value recorded, which could result in an impairment charge that has the potential to have a material impact to the consolidated statement of operations. As of the date of our annual goodwill analysis, no goodwill impairment charges were recorded.
Income Taxes
Description. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, we record income tax expense for the amount of taxes payable or refundable in the current period and deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect our estimation of the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and income tax reporting purposes. We determine the deferred tax asset or liability for each temporary difference based on the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when we realize the underlying items of income and expense. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets when we estimate that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and we record liabilities to address uncertain tax positions we have taken in previously filed tax returns or that we expect to take in our current tax returns.
Judgments and Uncertainties. Significant assumptions, judgments, and estimates are made by management when determining the income tax provision (benefit) for the current year, the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recorded, and the necessary valuation allowance to be recorded. These judgements include interpretations of income tax regulations, estimates of future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and the likelihood of recovery of deferred tax assets or that a tax position will be sustained upon audit.
We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including our recent earnings experience by jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, and the carryforward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes. We may establish a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Due to inherent complexities arising from the nature of our businesses, future changes in income tax law, tax sharing agreements or variances between our actual and anticipated operating results, we make certain judgments and estimates. Therefore, actual income taxes could materially vary from these estimates.
We record liabilities to address uncertain tax positions we have taken in previously filed tax returns or that we expect to take in our current tax returns. The determination for required liabilities is based upon an analysis of each individual tax position, taking into consideration whether it is more likely than not that our tax position, based on technical merits, will be sustained upon examination. For those positions for which we conclude it is more likely than not the position will be sustained, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The difference between the amount recognized and the total tax position is recorded as a liability. While the Company believes all of its tax positions are fully supportable, the ultimate resolution of these tax positions may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded.
Sensitivity of Estimate to Change. If there are any changes in the underlying estimates and assumptions to calculate the current period income tax provision or deferred tax assets and liabilities, or if the settlement of tax issues from a current period audit results in a tax position that is no longer supported, the financial statements could be materially impacted. During the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $1.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, in other long-term liabilities.
Results of Operations
The following results of operations include the accounts of ModivCare and our subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of Guardian Medical Monitoring have been included since the May 11, 2022 acquisition date. For our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.
Revenues
Service revenue, net. Service revenue for our NEMT segment includes contracts predominately with state Medicaid agencies and MCOs for the coordination of their members’ non-emergency transportation needs. Most contracts are capitated, which means we are paid on a per-member, per-month basis for each eligible member. For most contracts, we arrange for transportation of members through our network of independent transportation providers, whereby we negotiate rates and remit payment to the transportation providers. However, for certain contracts, we assume no risk for the transportation network, credentialing and/or payments to these providers. For these contracts, we only provide administrative management services to support the customers’ efforts to serve their clients.
Certain other contracts are structured as fee-for-service ("FFS") in which we bill and collect a specified amount for each service that we provide. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances and policy discounts in the case of third-party payors.
Service revenue for our Personal Care segment includes hours incurred by our in-home caregivers that are billed to our customers. Our customers consist of third-party payors including, but not limited to, MCOs, hospitals, Medicaid agencies and programs and other home health care providers who subcontract the services of our caregivers.
Service revenue for our RPM segment includes the sale of monitoring equipment to our third-party distributors as well as hours incurred by our Clinical Team for providing monitoring services that are billed to our customers. Our customers consist of national and regional health plans, government-funded benefit programs, healthcare provider organizations, and individuals.
Grant Income
Grant income. The Company has received distributions under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund ("PRF") and the ARPA Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Relief Fund ("SLFRF") targeted to providing economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating Expenses
Service expense. Service Expense for our NEMT segment includes purchased transportation, operational payroll and other operational related costs. Purchased transportation includes the amounts we pay to third-party service providers and is typically dependent upon service volume. Operational payroll predominately includes our contact center operations, customer advocacy and transportation network team. Other operating expenses primarily include operational overhead costs, and operating facilities and related charges. Service expense for our Personal Care segment includes payroll and other operational related costs for our caregivers to provide in-home care. Service expense for our RPM segment primarily consists of salaries of employees in our contact centers, connectivity costs and occupancy costs.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for all segments consists principally of salaries for administrative employees that support the operations, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation within this caption includes infrastructure items such as computer hardware and software, office equipment, monitoring and vitals equipment, buildings, and leasehold improvements. Amortization expense is generated primarily from amortization of our intangible assets, including payor networks, trade names, developed technology, a non-compete agreement, an assembled workforce, and a New York LHCSA permit.
Other Expenses (Income)
Interest expense, net. Interest expense consists principally of interest accrued during the period ended December 31, 2022 on the Company’s borrowings outstanding throughout the year ended December 31, 2022 under the Credit Facility and Senior Unsecured Notes, and amortization of deferred financing fees. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion of these borrowings.
Equity in net loss (income) of investee, net of tax. Equity in earnings of equity method investee consists of our proportionate share of equity earnings or losses from our Matrix equity investment, presented net of related taxes.
Income tax provision. The Company is subject to federal taxation in the United States and state taxation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Results of Operations
Segment reporting. Our segments reflect the manner in which our operations are organized and reviewed by management. Segment results are based on how our CODM manages our business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance.
We operate four reportable business segments: NEMT, Personal Care, RPM, and Corporate and Other. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company completed its segment reorganization which resulted in the addition of a Corporate and Other segment that includes the costs associated with the Company's corporate operations. The operating results of the Corporate and Other segment include activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and corporate development functions for each segment, as well as the results of the Matrix investment. Prior to the segment reorganization, we reported the investment in Matrix as a separate operating segment. Based on the relative size of the Matrix investment and all related activity to the overall financial statements, however, the CODM no longer views it as a separate operating segment but reviews results in conjunction with the other corporate results of the business.
The NEMT segment consists of our legacy operations, which provides non-emergency medical transportation services throughout the country. The Personal Care segment provides non-medical personal care and home health services and is composed of the operations from two acquisitions: Simplura on November 18, 2020, and Care Finders on September 14, 2021. The RPM segment provides remote patient monitoring solutions and was developed through our acquisition of VRI on September 22, 2021 and expanded through our acquisition of GMM on May 11, 2022. The operating results of the NEMT, Personal Care and RPM segments include revenue and expenses generated and incurred by the segment.
See Note 4, Segments, in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information on our segments.

Service revenue, net. Consolidated service revenue, net, for 2022 increased $507.5 million, or 25.4%, compared to 2021. Service revenue, net, for our NEMT segment increased by $284.7 million, primarily due to higher trip volume, higher monthly membership, and higher rates per member when compared to 2021, as trip volume continues to increase from the reduced volumes that occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Service revenue, net, further increased by $172.1 million for our Personal Care segment, of which $118.1 million was related to the inclusion of the operating results of Care Finders which was acquired in September 2021. Service revenue, net also increased due to the inclusion of $50.7 million for our RPM segment as a result of the operating results of VRI which was acquired in September 2021 and GMM which was acquired in May 2022. See our Results of Operations, Segments, for further discussion.
Grant income. The Company recognized income of approximately $7.4 million during 2022 compared to $5.4 million during 2021 related to grants from the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF targeted to providing economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds were received by our Personal Care segment and are available to eligible providers who diagnose, test, or care for individuals with possible or actual cases of COVID-19 and have health care related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19.

Total service expense | $ | 2,032,074 | | | 81.1% | | $ | 1,584,298 | | | 79.3% |
Service expense for 2022 increased $447.8 million, or 28.3%, compared to 2021 primarily due to higher purchased services of $275.5 million driven by an increase in transportation costs for our NEMT segment to support higher trip volumes that occurred in 2022. Payroll and related costs increased by $161.1 million, primarily related to incremental costs of $96.9 million in the Personal Care and RPM segments due to the acquisitions of Care Finders and VRI in September 2021 and GMM in May 2022, $38.7 million in the Personal Care segment related to Simplura, and $25.5 million related to the NEMT segment. These increases in payroll and related costs are largely driven by increased labor costs across all segments in addition to more hours worked during 2022.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense for 2022 increased $50.5 million, or 18.6%, compared to 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $35.5 million in general and administrative costs related to the operations of Care Finders in the Personal Care segment which was acquired during September 2021, and VRI and GMM in the RPM segment which were acquired during September 2021 and May 2022, respectively. The additional increase is related to increased legal expense and personnel expense during 2022. See our Results of Operations, Segments, for further discussion.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for 2022 increased $43.4 million, or 76.2%, compared to 2021 primarily as a result of intangible assets brought on under the Care Finders and VRI acquisitions in September 2021 for an incremental $27.5 million and the GMM acquisition in May 2022 for $1.9 million of amortization expense. The increase for 2022 is also driven by the additional amortization expense recorded related to the change in useful lives of Simplura intangible assets as discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Interest expense, net. Consolidated interest expense for 2022 increased $12.9 million, or 26.2%, compared to 2021 as a result of incremental interest of $17.7 million from the $500.0 million Senior Notes due 2029 that were issued in August 2021 which contributed total interest expense of $26.5 million during 2022. The increase in interest was partially offset by the $6.6 million bridge loan commitment fee incurred in 2021 related to the VRI acquisition with no comparable fee for 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we also incurred $32.1 million of interest expense related to the Senior Notes due 2025. The remainder of the interest expense during 2022 is related to interest and fees on the credit facility. Interest expense is recorded at our Corporate and Other segment.
Equity in net loss of investee, net of tax. Our equity in net loss of investee was $30.0 million for 2022 and $38.3 million for 2021 and represents our proportional share of the results of Matrix and our investment in a captive insurance program. The loss during each period was primarily related to our share of an asset impairment that occurred at Matrix for $82.2 million during 2022 and $111.4 million during 2021.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes. Our effective tax rates for 2022 and 2021 were a benefit of 62.2% and a provision of 21.4%, respectively. The 2022 effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to tax credits and stock-based compensation windfalls, offset by state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses. The 2021 effective tax rate was slightly higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses, offset by tax credits and stock-based compensation windfalls.

The NEMT segment, which operates under the brands ModivCare Solutions and Circulation, is the largest manager of NEMT programs for state governments and MCOs in the U.S.
Service revenue, net. Service revenue, net, increased by $284.7 million and 19.2%, from 2021 to 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to a 12.9% increase in trip volume, a 14.4% increase in average monthly membership and higher rates per member as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Trip volume increased for the year ended December 31, 2022 when compared to 2021 due to the passage of time after the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased comfort level of members to leave their homes. The increase in average monthly membership drove higher revenue because a majority of our contacts are capitated and we receive monthly payments on a per member/fixed basis in return for full or partial risk of transportation volumes. While this increase in membership under these capitated contracts can lead to additional revenue, we also have certain capitated contracts that limit profit to within a certain corridor and once we reach the maximum profit level within the contract, we discontinue recognizing revenue and instead accrue a liability to refund the customer upon reconciliation at a later date. The increase in trip volume also increases revenue for our contracts that are structured as fee-for-service as higher trip volumes correlates to a larger number of services performed.

Our Personal Care segment was established in November 2020 with the acquisition of Simplura and expanded in September 2021 with the acquisition of Care Finders. Our Personal Care segment’s services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants and home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting, including senior citizens and disabled adults. The year over year fluctuations are a result of the acquisition of Care Finders, as the acquisition was completed on September 14, 2021 and contributed minimal activity in 2021 compared to a full year of activity in 2022.
Service revenue, net. Personal care service contracts are generally structured as fee-for-service contracts, with revenue being driven by hours worked by our personal care providers. Service revenue, net, increased by $172.1 million or 34.7% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to revenue from the Care Finders acquisition of $118.1 million. The remainder of the increase in service revenue is attributable to Simplura, due to higher hours worked by personal care providers in 2022 and higher wage rates for caregivers as compared to 2021 as well as the asset acquisition completed in May 2022, as disclosed in Note 3, Acquisitions.
Grant Income. The Company recognized income related to distributions of the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF which are targeted to providing economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company recognized income from distributions of $7.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

Total service expense | $ | 520,065 | | | 77.9 | % | | $ | 392,508 | | | 79.2 | % |
Service expense for our Personal Care segment primarily consists of salaries for our employees that provide personal care services and it typically trends with the number of hours worked. Service expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased $127.6 million and 32.5% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of service expense of $88.0 million related to the Care Finders acquisition that occurred in September 2021. The remaining increase is driven by increased wage rates, particularly in New York, as well as increased direct wages as a result of the assembled workforce acquired with our asset acquisition
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that support the operations of the Personal Care segment, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees. General and administrative expense increased by $20.7 million and 29.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily related to costs from the acquisition of Care Finders of $18.4 million
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $27.3 million and 114.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021. The increase is primarily due to amortization expense on the intangible assets brought on under the Care Finders acquisition of $11.8 million. The increase for the year ended 2022 is also driven by the additional amortization expense of $14.3 million related to the change in useful lives of Simplura intangible assets as discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

(2) The calculations for the year ended December 31, 2021 for revenue per member per month and service expense per member per month are calculated for the portion of the year that the Company owned the VRI business, which was acquired in September 2021.
Our Remote Patient Monitoring segment was established in September 2021 with the acquisition of VRI and expanded in May 2022 with the acquisition of GMM. The RPM segment is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions and manages a comprehensive suite of services, including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. The annual fluctuations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are not meaningful as the segment only contributed minimal activity in 2021 and a full year of activity in 2022.
Service revenue, net. RPM contracts are generally structured as a fee per enrolled member per month, and therefore revenue is generally driven by number of enrolled members. Service revenue, net, from MCO, Medicare, and State Medicaid contracts accounted for 82.2% of service revenue, net, for the year ended December 31, 2022. The remainder of the RPM segment revenue is derived from private pay and other contracts.

Service expense for our RPM segment primarily consists of salaries for the employees providing the remote monitoring services and it typically trends with the number of hours worked.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries for administrative employees that support the operations of the RPM segment, occupancy costs, marketing expenditures, insurance, and professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of amortization expense on the intangible assets brought on during the acquisition as well as depreciation on the fixed assets acquired.

Our Corporate and Other segment was established beginning January 1, 2022 as a result of a segment reorganization completed by the Company. The Company's Corporate and Other segment includes the Company's executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal, public reporting, and corporate development functions. This segment also includes the results of our equity investment in Matrix.
Our Corporate and Other segment holds costs incurred related to strategy and stewardship of the other operating segments. These expenses are primarily general and administrative expenses, with a small amount related to depreciation. The general and administrative expense decreased by $2.0 million and 3.1% for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Seasonality
Our NEMT segment's operating income and cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, principally due to lower transportation demand during the winter season and higher demand during the summer season.
Our Personal Care segment’s operating income and cash flows also normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business, principally due to somewhat lower demand for in-home services from caregivers during the summer and periods with major holidays, as patients may spend more time with family and less time alone needing outside care during those periods.
Our RPM segment’s operating income and cash flows do not normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-term capital requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, new revenue contract start-up costs and costs associated with our strategic initiatives. We expect to meet our cash requirements through available cash on hand, cash generated from operations, net of capital expenditures, and occasional borrowings under our New Credit Facility. For information regarding our long-term capital requirements, see below under the caption "Liquidity".
Cash flow used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 was $10.4 million. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $15.0 million and $133.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We had restricted cash of $0.5 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Restricted cash amounts are not included in our balance of cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets, although they are included in the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
We may, from time to time, access capital markets to raise equity or debt financing for various business reasons, including acquisitions, repurchases of common stock, investments in our business and possible refinancing activity. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing on terms acceptable to us at the time or at all.
2022 cash flows compared to 2021
Operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $10.4 million for 2022 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $186.8 million for 2021. The decrease of $197.3 million was primarily a result of a decrease in cash provided by changes in working capital of $188.0 million. The working capital changes were related to a decrease in the change in accrued contract payables of $195.0 million primarily related to repayments on previously accrued contract payable amounts
made during 2022 combined with lower liability reserves on certain risk corridor, profit rebate and reconciliation contracts due to higher trip volumes during 2022. Also contributing to the decrease in working capital is a decrease in the change in accrued transportation costs of $30.1 million primarily related to decreased cycle time to pay our transportation providers therefore decreasing the accrued transportation costs in 2022 compared to 2021, and an increase in the accounts receivable balance of $42.0 million, primarily related to receivables recorded on our reconciliation and corridor contracts. These working capital decreases were partially offset by an increase in cash due to an increase in the accounts payable and accrued expenses balance of $74.0 million primarily related to timing of vendor payments
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $111.8 million in 2022 compared to $685.6 million in 2021. The change in cash used in investing activities was driven by a decrease in cash used for acquisitions of $585.5 million, primarily due to the Company's acquisitions of WellRyde, Care Finders, and VRI in 2021 compared to only the purchase of GMM and an asset acquisition in 2022.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million in 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $448.9 million in 2021. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the Company not issuing senior notes during 2022, as compared to the Company's issuance of senior notes in August 2021 for $500.0 million. This decrease is partially offset by the Company not participating in a stock repurchase program during 2022 as compared to 2021, during which cash paid to repurchase common stock was $39.0 million. See Note 14, Stockholders' Equity, for further information on the stock buyback.
We also had increased borrowings on our New Credit Facility during 2022 that allowed us the temporary liquidity needed during the year to execute our acquisitions and pay contract liabilities. As of December 31, 2022 we had no borrowings on our New Credit Facility.
2021 cash flows compared to 2020
For a comparison of our cash flows for 2021 to 2020, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.
Obligations and commitments
Senior Unsecured Notes. On November 4, 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due on November 15, 2025 (the “Senior Notes due 2025”). Subsequently, on August 24, 2021, the Company issued an additional $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due on October 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029” and, together with the Senior Notes due 2025, the “Notes”). The Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 were issued pursuant to two indentures, dated November 4, 2020 and August 24, 2021, respectively, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2025 were used to fund a portion of the Company’s acquisition of Simplura and the proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2029 were used to fund a portion of the Company’s acquisition of VRI.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's future subordinated indebtedness, rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing senior indebtedness, are effectively subordinated to any of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the New Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The Company will pay interest on the Notes at their applicable annual rates until maturity. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2025 is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2029 is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, with the first interest payment date being April 1, 2022. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date on November 15, 2025 and October 1, 2029 when 100% of the outstanding principal will be required to be repaid on the Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029, respectively.
New Credit Facility. On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuing bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an issuing bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Regions Bank, Bank of Montreal and Capital One, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement
provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million. There is an option to increase the amount of the New Credit Facility or obtain incremental term loans by an aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million, plus an unlimited amount so long as the pro forma secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00, as described below. The New Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans, letters of credit and alternative currency loans in amounts of up to $25.0 million, $60.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively. The Company did not draw any amount of the New Credit Facility at closing of the New Credit Agreement. At closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company had $22.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under the New Credit Facility. The proceeds of the New Credit Facility may be used (i) to finance working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (including to finance capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and investments). The New Credit Facility replaces the Old Credit Facility under the Old Credit Agreement, which was terminated concurrently with the Company's entry into the New Credit Agreement.
Under the New Credit Facility the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the New Credit Facility or obtain incremental term loans from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) by an aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million, plus an unlimited amount so long as the pro forma secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00, with either additional commitments from lenders under the New Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions approved by the Company and the administrative agent (which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld), so long as, at the time of any such increase, no default or event of default exists, the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the New Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants in the New Credit Agreement. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2027. The Company may prepay the New Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, each as defined in the New Credit Agreement. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the New Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Company at any time without penalty.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate, as applicable and each as defined in the New Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.75% to 3.50% in the case of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, each as defined in the New Credit Agreement, and 0.75% to 2.50% in the case of the Alternate Base Rate loans, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as defined in the New Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans, on the last day of the relevant interest period in the case of Term Benchmark loan, and monthly in arrears in the case of RFR loans. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.30% to 0.50% and 1.75% to 3.50%, respectively, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. The Company is subject to financial covenants, including total net leverage and interest coverage covenants.
The Company’s obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s present and future material domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain material domestic subsidiaries that are excluded from being guarantors pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the New Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s or such guarantor’s respective assets. If an event of default occurs, the required lenders may cause the administrative agent to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses under the New Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The New Credit Agreement also contains a cross default to any of the Company’s indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $40 million.
Preferred Stock. On June 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement (the "Conversion Agreement") with the Coliseum Stockholders. Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, the Company purchased 369,120 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, in exchange for $209.88 in cash per share
of Series A Preferred Stock, plus a cash amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the day prior to June 11, 2020. Further, the Coliseum Stockholders converted 369,120 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 925,567 shares of common stock, a cash payment equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock through June 11, 2020, and a cash payment of $8.82 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The amount of accrued dividends paid pursuant to the Conversion Agreement was equal to $0.8 million.
Further, on September 3, 2020, the Company elected to effect the conversion (the “Conversion”) of all of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In accordance with the Conversion Agreement, as amended, immediately prior to the Conversion, the Company repurchased 27,509 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Coliseum Shareholders for a cash amount equal to $209.88 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and a cash amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares through the day prior to the Conversion.
Cash dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were payable quarterly in arrears to the Preferred Shareholders on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, and, if declared, began to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. The Company had the option to pay dividends in kind, but never exercised such option while the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, no convertible preferred stock dividends were issued.
Insurance Programs
With respect to the Company’s historical wholly-owned captive insurance company subsidiary, Social Services Providers Captive Insurance Company, or SPCIC, the operations with respect to which have been discontinued since 2017, the Company utilizes a report prepared by an independent actuary to estimate the gross expected losses related to historical automobile, general and professional and workers’ compensation liability reinsurance policies, including the estimated losses in excess of SPCIC’s insurance limits, which would be reimbursed to SPCIC to the extent such losses were incurred. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had reserves of $16.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, for the automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance policies. The gross reserve as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $37.1 million and $22.3 million, respectively, is classified as current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated amount to be reimbursed to the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $21.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively, and is classified as other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Further, we had restricted cash of $0.5 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which was primarily restricted to secure the reinsured claims losses under the historical automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance programs.
Liquidity
Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We manage our liquidity position to meet our daily cash flow needs, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash of $14.5 million and accounts receivable and other receivables of $296.8 million. Short-term liabilities, which totaled $656.2 million at year end as detailed in the table below, included $72.5 million in guarantees and letters of credit, not actually expected to be paid in cash in the next 12 months. Other sources of liquidity include amounts currently available under our New Credit Facility of $286.9 million as of December 31, 2022.
In the ordinary course of business we have entered into contractual obligations and have made other commitments to make future payments. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, debt financing, and our New Credit Facility. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see “Consolidated Financial Statements—Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.
The Company has cash requirements of $656.2 million due in one year or less in addition to $1,343.7 million due in more than one year as of December 31, 2022. The following is a summary of our future cash requirements for the next twelve months and the period extending beyond twelve months as of December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

(1)See Note 12 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further detail of our Senior Unsecured Notes and the timing of expected future payments. Interest payments are typically paid semi-annually in arrears and have been calculated at the rates fixed as of December 31, 2022.
(2)Letters of credit (“LOCs”) are guarantees of potential payments to third parties under certain conditions. Guarantees include surety bonds we provide to certain customers to protect against potential non-delivery of our non-emergency transportation services. Our LOCs shown in the table were provided by our New Credit Facility and reduced our availability thereunder. The surety bonds and LOC amounts in the above table represent the amount of commitment expiration per period.
(3)The operating leases are for office space. Certain leases contain periodic rent escalation adjustments and renewal options. See Note 17 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further detail of our operating leases.

(5)See Note 1 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further detail of our accrued transportation cost.
(6)These include other current liabilities reflected in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022, including accounts payable and accrued expenses as detailed at Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.
(7)See Note 18 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further detail of our deferred tax liabilities.

See Note 19 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further detail of our purchased service commitment.
Our primary sources of funding include operating cash flows and access to capital markets. There are statutory, regulatory, and debt covenant limitations that affect our ability to access the capital market for funds. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations. Management continuously monitors our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Our management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, our management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on us.
Stock repurchase programs
On March 11, 2020, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company could repurchase up to $75.0 million in aggregate value of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to the consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock, through December 31, 2020. A total of 195,677 shares were repurchased under this program for approximately $10.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.
On March 8, 2021, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company could repurchase up to $75.0 million in aggregate value of the Company’s Common Stock through December 31, 2021, unless terminated earlier. A total of 276,268 shares were repurchased under the program for $40.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.
No repurchase program was authorized during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest rate risk
We have exposure to interest rate risk mainly related to our New Credit Facility, which has variable interest rates that may increase. We did not have any amounts outstanding under our New Credit Facility at December 31, 2022.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
ModivCare Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ModivCare Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes, and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 6, 2023 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
We did not audit the financial statements of Mercury Parent, LLC (a 43.6 percent owned investee company) as of December 31, 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company’s investment in Mercury Parent, LLC was $83.1 million as of December 31, 2021, and its equity earnings (loss) of Mercury Parent, LLC was $(53.1) million and $8.9 million for the years ended 2021 and 2020, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Mercury Parent, LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Sufficiency of audit evidence over certain capitated contracts with provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates
As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reported service revenue, net of $2,504.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which included revenue from certain capitated contracts with
provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates. The Company records revenue for certain capitated contracts with provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates based on capitated payments received during the month of service and these payments are reconciled based on actual cost and/or trip volume which may result in additional receivables from or payables to the payors. As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded reconciliation and risk corridor contract receivables of $71.6 million and total contract payables of $194.3 million which included contract payables related to contracts with provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates.
We identified the evaluation of sufficiency of audit evidence over certain capitated contracts with provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates as a critical audit matter. Challenging auditor judgment was required in evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence due to the large volume of data and complexity of the manually maintained information used in the revenue recognition process. Specialized skills and knowledge were needed to assess the Information Technology (IT) systems used to determine and record revenue, contract receivables and contract payables related to the aforementioned capitated contracts.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over reconciliation, risk corridor and profit rebate contract revenue, contract receivables and contract payables. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the revenue recognition process related to the aforementioned capitated contracts. We assessed recorded reconciliation, risk corridor and profit rebate contract revenue, contract receivables and contract payables for the aforementioned capitated contracts by comparing a selection of such revenue amounts to third party contracts and cash receipts and comparing a selection of reconciliation, risk corridor or profit rebate revenue, receivable and payable amounts to payor contracts and transportation cost data. Additionally, we compared a selection of reconciliation, risk corridor and profit rebate contract receivable and payable activity during the year to current year revenue activity and cash settlements. We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing certain general IT controls and certain application controls used to determine and record revenue, contract receivables and contract payables related to the aforementioned capitated contracts. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed.
Goodwill impairment assessment for certain reporting units
As discussed in Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit might exceed its fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of each reporting unit using a blend of an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow method, and a market approach, utilizing the guideline public company method. As of December 31, 2022, the goodwill balance was $968.7 million.
We identified the evaluation of the goodwill impairment assessment for certain reporting units as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment required in assessing the Company’s key assumptions used in the income approach to estimate fair value, specifically short‑term projected revenues and the discount rate. Minor changes in these assumptions could have had a significant impact on the estimated fair value. Additionally, the audit effort associated with this estimate required specialized skills and knowledge.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment process, including controls over the short‑term projected revenue and the discount rate assumptions. We evaluated the short‑term projected revenues by comparing them to the historical results of the respective reporting unit, and to external economic data, including publicly available information for guideline public companies. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the discount rate by independently calculating the weighted average cost of capital.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
ModivCare Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited ModivCare Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses, described below, on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 6, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses described below have been identified and included in management’s assessment:
The Company did not (i) conduct an effective risk assessment to identify and assess changes in its internal control environment, specifically related to new information technology ("IT") systems and newly acquired companies, (ii) structure effective reporting lines, appropriate authorities, or responsibilities, or (iii) establish mechanisms to enforce accountability in the pursuit of objectives to establish and operate effective internal control over financial reporting.
As a consequence:
•The Company did not establish effective general information technology controls ("GITCs"), specifically change management controls and logical access controls, that support the consistent operation of certain of the Company’s IT systems. Therefore, automated process-level controls and manual controls dependent upon information derived from those IT systems are also ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted, and
•The Company did not design, implement and effectively operate process-level control activities related to its i) revenue processes (including service revenue and accounts receivable) and payroll processes (including payroll expenses recorded within service expense and general and administrative expense) within the Personal Care segment and ii) payroll processes (including payroll expenses recorded within service expense and general and administrative expense) within the NEMT and Corporate segments.
The material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
ModivCare Inc. ("ModivCare" or the "Company") is a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for public and private payors and their members. Its value-based solutions address the social determinants of health, or SDoH, connect members to care, help health plans manage risks, reduce costs, and improve outcomes. ModivCare is a provider of non-emergency medical transportation, or NEMT, personal care, and remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions, which serve similar, highly vulnerable patient populations. The technology-enabled operating model includes NEMT core competencies in risk underwriting, contact center management, network credentialing, claims management and non-emergency medical transportation management. Additionally, its personal care services include placements of non-medical personal care assistants, home health aides and nurses primarily to Medicaid patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing daily living activities in the home setting. ModivCare’s remote patient monitoring services include personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions. ModivCare is further expanding its offerings to include meal delivery and working with communities to provide meals to food-insecure individuals.
ModivCare also holds a 43.6% minority interest in CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operates under the Matrix Medical Network brand (“Matrix”). Matrix, which is included in our Corporate and Other segment, maintains a national network of community-based clinicians who deliver in-home and on-site services, and a fleet of mobile health clinics that provide community-based care with advanced diagnostic capabilities and enhanced care options.
Basis of Presentation
The Company follows accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these notes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which serves as the single source of authoritative accounting and applicable reporting standards to be applied for non-governmental entities. All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
The Company accounts for its investment in Matrix using the equity method, as the Company does not control the decision-making process or business management practices of Matrix. While the Company has access to certain information and performs certain procedures to review the reasonableness of information, the Company relies on the management of Matrix to provide accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company receives audit reports relating to such financial information from Matrix’s independent auditors on an annual basis. The Company is not aware of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by Matrix that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 7, Equity Investment, for further information.
Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures enacted by state and government officials to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 or slow its spread have had an ongoing adverse impact on the Company’s business, as well as its patients, communities, and employees. With ongoing uncertainties around the duration and magnitude of the pandemic, the ultimate impact to the business remains uncertain. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's financial statements with potential for (i) labor shortages or other disruptions that impact our ability to provide services, (ii) decreased member comfort leaving the house to obtain transportation for non-emergency medical purposes, and (iii) supply chain challenges that may cause an increase in the costs of providing our services; among other things. Despite ongoing uncertainties, the Company continues to actively monitor the pandemic and any future impact it may have on our business and results of operations with emphasis on protecting the health and safety of its employees, maximizing the availability of its services and products to support the SDoH, and supporting the operational and financial stability of its business.
Federal, state, and local authorities have taken several actions designed to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients and to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Legislative actions taken by the federal government include the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARPA"). Through the CARES Act, the federal government has authorized payments to be distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund ("Provider Relief Fund" or "PRF"). The Government further initiated ARPA which established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ("SLFRF") to send relief payments to state and local governments impacted by the pandemic to assist with responding to the public health emergency (“PHE”) including the economic hardships that continue to impact communities and to respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 PHE, including providers. These funds are not subject to repayment, provided we are able to attest and comply with any terms and conditions of such funding, as applicable.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include ModivCare Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities it controls, or in which it has a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary of expected cash profits or losses. The Company records its investments in entities that it does not control, but over which it has the ability to exercise significant influence, using the equity method. The Company has eliminated significant intercompany transactions and accounts.
Accounting Estimates
The Company uses estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amount of net income or loss during any period. The Company’s actual financial results could differ significantly from these estimates. The significant estimates underlying the Company’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition; accrued transportation costs; income taxes; recoverability of current and long-lived assets, including equity method investments; intangible assets and goodwill; loss contingencies; accounting for business combinations, including amounts assigned to definite and indefinite lived intangibles and contingent consideration; and loss reserves for reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs.
Changes in Accounting Estimate
In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets and intangible assets on an ongoing basis. As a result of this review, the Company adjusted the estimated useful life of the OEP AM, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries doing business as "Simplura Health Group", or Simplura) trademarks and trade names intangible asset from 10 years to 3 years and adjusted the estimated useful life of the payor network from 15 years to 10 years effective as of January 1, 2022. This change was driven by strategic shifts in the Company's Personal Care segment operations, partially contributed to by the acquisition of Care Finders Total Care, LLC ("Care Finders"). Based on the intangible asset values as of December 31, 2021, the effect of the change in estimate during the year ended December 31, 2022 was an increase in amortization expense of $14.3 million, a decrease in net income of $10.3 million, and a decrease in earnings per share of $0.73 per diluted common share outstanding.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
–Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
–Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
–Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance for credit losses) and current liabilities was equal to or approximated fair value due to their short-term nature or proximity to current market rates. Fair values for our publicly traded debt securities are based on quoted market prices, when available. See Note 12, Debt, for the fair value of our long-term debt.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. Investments in cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records accounts receivable amounts at the contractual amount, less contractual revenue adjustments based on amounts expected to be due from payors and less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount it estimates to be sufficient to cover the risk that an account will not be collected due to credit risk. In order to establish the amount of the allowance related to the credit risk of accounts receivable, the Company considers information related to receivables that are past due, past loss experience, current and forecasted economic conditions, and other relevant factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, the Company records a specific allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce its net recognized receivable to an amount the Company reasonably expects to collect. As the Company primarily contracts with Medicaid and Medicare governmental payors, the Company is not subject to significant credit risk in the collection of accounts receivable.
The Company’s bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $2.7 million, $1.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition method of accounting requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions as of the date of the acquisition related to the determination of the fair values (primarily Level 3) of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed, and related to the determination of estimated lives of the depreciable assets acquired. The Company recognizes goodwill at the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for further discussion of the Company’s acquisitions.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation, or at fair value if the assets were initially recorded as the result of a business combination or if the asset was remeasured due to an impairment. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to the Company. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses resulting from the disposition of an asset are reflected in results of operations.
Internal-use Software
The Company develops and implements software for internal use to enhance the performance and capabilities of the technology infrastructure. The costs incurred for the development of the internal-use software are capitalized when they meet the internal-use software capitalization criteria outlined in ASC 350-40. The capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years.
In addition to acquired software, the Company capitalizes costs associated with cloud computing arrangements (“CCA”) that are service contracts. The CCA includes services which are used to support certain internal corporate functions as well as technology associated with revenue-generating activities. The capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line
method over the term of the related CCA. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, capitalized costs associated with CCA, net of accumulated amortization of $2.2 million and $0.6 million, were $11.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, totaled $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense during the year ended December 31, 2020 was immaterial.
Recoverability of Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) the loss or modification of significant contracts, (2) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (3) unanticipated competition, (4) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (5) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1.
First, we perform qualitative assessments for each reporting unit to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment suggests that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value amount, then we perform a quantitative assessment and compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value and to the extent the carrying value is greater than the fair value, the difference is recorded as an impairment in the consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the Company's reporting units is estimated using either an income approach, a market valuation approach, or a blended approach. The income approach produces an estimated fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows the Company expects the reporting unit to generate in the future. Estimates included in the discounted cash flow model include the discount rate, which the Company determines based on adjusting an industry-wide weighted-average cost of capital for size, geography, and company specific risk factors, long-term rates of growth and profitability of the Company’s business, working capital effects and planned capital expenditures. The market approach produces an estimated fair value of a reporting unit based on a comparison of the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded entities in similar lines of business. The Company’s significant estimates in the market approach include the selected similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment and the multiples the Company applies to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit.
Recoverability of Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization and Other Long-Lived Assets
Intangible assets subject to amortization and other long-lived assets are carried at cost and are amortized or depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2 to 15 years. In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets or groups of assets to be used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. Factors that may necessitate an impairment assessment include, among others, significant adverse changes in the extent or manner in which an asset or group of assets is used, significant adverse changes in legal factors or the business climate that could affect the value of an asset or group of assets or significant declines in the observable market value of an asset or group of assets. The presence or occurrence of those events indicates that an asset or group of assets may be impaired. In those cases, the Company assesses the recoverability of an asset or group of assets by determining whether the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets over the remaining economic life of the asset or the primary asset in the group of assets. If such testing indicates the carrying value of the asset or group of assets is not recoverable, the Company estimates the fair value of the asset or group of assets using appropriate valuation methodologies, which would typically include an estimate of discounted cash flows. If the fair value of those assets or groups of assets is less than carrying value, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value.
Accrued Transportation Costs
The Company generally contracts with third-party providers to provide transportation services to customers. The cost of transportation is recorded in the month the services are rendered based upon contractual rates and mileage estimates. Once a trip is completed, the third-party transportation providers will furnish invoices for actual mileage incurred. Any trips that have not been invoiced as of the reporting period require an accrual based upon the expected cost of the trips as well as an estimated number of cancellations, as the Company is generally only obligated to pay the transportation provider for completed trips. These estimates are based upon the historical trend associated with each contract’s population and the transportation provider network servicing the program. There may be differences between actual invoiced amounts and estimated costs, and any resulting adjustments are included in expense. Accrued transportation costs were $96.9 million and $103.3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discounts
The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with its credit facilities and other borrowings, referred to as deferred financing costs, and amortizes such costs over the life of the respective credit facility or other borrowings. Costs associated with the revolving facility are capitalized as deferred financing costs and included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs associated with term loans are capitalized and included as a reduction to the debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs for the revolving loan, net of amortization, totaled $3.1 million and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Debt discounts for the $500.0 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 of $8.9 million and $11.6 million are netted against the carrying balance of the long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Debt discounts for the $500.0 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 of $11.7 million and $13.1 million are netted against the carrying balance of the long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it transfers promised services to its customers and generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these services. The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time and recognizes revenue over time instead of at points in time and applies the "as-invoiced" practical expedient which aligns the pattern of transfer of promised services with the value received by the customer for the performance completed to date. In the NEMT segment, the Company's performance obligation is to stand ready to perform transportation-related activities, including the management, fulfillment, and recordkeeping activities associated with such services. In the Personal Care segment, the Company's performance obligation is to deliver patient care services in accordance with the nature of services and hours worked per each contract. In the RPM segment, the Company's performance obligation is to stand ready to perform monitoring services in the form of personal emergency response system (PERS) monitoring, vitals monitoring, and medication management, as contractually agreed upon.
The Company holds different contract types under its different segments of business. In the NEMT segment, there are both capitated contracts, under which payors pay a fixed amount monthly per eligible member, and fee-for-service ("FFS") contracts, under which the Company bills and collects a specified amount for each service that is provided. Personal Care contracts are also FFS, and service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from clients, patients and third-party payors for services rendered. RPM service revenue consists of revenue from monitoring services provided to the customer. Under RPM contracts, payors pay per-enrolled-member-per-month, based on enrolled membership. For each contract type, the Company determines the transaction price based on the gross charges for services provided, reduced by estimates for contractual adjustments due to settlements of audits and payment reviews from third-party payors. The Company determines the estimated revenue adjustments at each segment based on our historical experience with various third-party payors and previous results from the claims and adjudication process. At the Personal Care segment, the Company uses the portfolio approach to determine the estimated revenue adjustments. See further information in Note 5, Revenue Recognition.
Government Grants
The Company has received government grants under the CARES Act PRF and the ARPA SLFRF to provide economic relief and stimulus to combat health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these acts, the Company received distributions of approximately $16.3 million and $5.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which $7.4 million and $5.4 million were recognized as grant income during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with the remaining balance recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Distributions received under these acts are targeted to assist with incremental health care related expenses or lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as provide stimulus to support long-term growth and recovery.
The payments from these acts are subject to certain restrictions and possible recoupment if not used for designated purposes. As a condition to receiving PRF distributions, providers must agree to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, that the funds are being used for healthcare related expenses and lost revenues attributable to COVID-19, as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"). All recipients of PRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements described in the terms and conditions and as determined by HHS. The Company has submitted the required documents to meet reporting requirements through reporting period three, which ended September 30, 2022. The Company received an audit inquiry letter from HHS related to one of the business units that received PRF payments, to which the Company has responded and submitted all requested information and believes that the payments received are substantiated and within the terms and conditions defined by HHS and continues to include these amounts as grant income. At this time, the Company is unaware of any other pending or upcoming audits or inquiries related to PRF received.
As a condition to receiving SLFRF, providers must agree to use the funds to respond to the PHE or its negative economic impacts, to respond to workers performing essential work by providing premium pay to eligible workers and to offset reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 PHE as stipulated by the states in which the funds were received. All recipients of SLFRF payments are required to comply with the reporting requirements that the state in which the funds originated has requested in order for the states to meet the requirements as described in the terms and conditions as determined by the Department of the Treasury. The Company has complied with all known reporting requirements to date.
The Company recognizes distributions from government grants as grant income or accrued expenses and other current liabilities in line with the loss of revenues or expenses for which the grants are intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance that it has complied with the conditions associated with the grant.
CARES Act Payroll Deferral
The CARES Act also provides for certain federal income and other tax changes, including the deferral of the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes. During 2022, the Company paid all of its deferred payroll taxes under the CARES Act of $12.3 million and there were no deferred employer payroll taxes as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred payment of approximately $12.3 million related to the deferral of employer payroll taxes, which is recorded in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments at fair value.
•The Company calculates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. The fair value of restricted stock awards or units is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. The expense for stock-based compensation awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period.
•The Company records restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that may be settled by the holder in cash, rather than shares, as a liability and remeasures these liabilities at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. Upon settlement of these awards, the cumulative compensation expense recorded over the vesting period of the awards will equal the settlement amount, which is based on the Company’s stock price on the settlement date.
•The Company issues performance-based RSUs ("PRSUs") that vest upon achievement of pre-established company specific performance conditions and a service period. The fair value of the performance-based RSU awards is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date and an assessment of the probability the performance targets will be achieved. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. The expense for such awards is recognized over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined by the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings experience by jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, and the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, as well as other relevant factors. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The net amount of deferred tax liabilities and assets, net of the valuation allowance, is presented as non-current in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Due to inherent complexities arising from the nature of the Company’s businesses, future changes in income tax law or variances between the Company’s actual and anticipated operating results, the Company makes certain judgments and estimates. Therefore, actual income taxes could materially vary from these estimates.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance which includes amounts for certain carryforwards and deferred tax assets, as more fully described in Note 18, Income Taxes, for which the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that these carryforwards and deferred tax assets will not be realized in the ordinary course of operations.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process of evaluating recognition and measurement criteria. The first step assesses whether the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the tax authority, including resolution of any appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more likely than not criteria, the portion of the tax benefit greater than 50.0% likely to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority is recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted and on August 16, 2022 the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was enacted. See Note 18, Income Taxes, for a discussion of the impact on the Company from these acts.
Loss Reserves for Certain Reinsurance Programs
The Company historically reinsured a substantial portion of its automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation costs under certain reinsurance programs. The Company utilizes a report prepared by an independent actuary to estimate the gross expected losses related to these reinsurance policies, including the estimated losses in excess of insured limits, which would be reimbursed to the Company to the extent such losses were incurred. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had reserves of $16.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, for the automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance policies. The gross reserve as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $37.1 million and $22.3 million, respectively, is classified as current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated amount to be reimbursed to the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $21.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively, and is classified as other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company regularly analyzes its reserves for incurred but not reported claims, and for reported but not paid claims related to its reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs. The Company believes its reserves are adequate. However, judgment is involved in assessing these reserves, such as in assessing historical paid claims, average lag times between the claims’ incurred date, reported dates and paid dates, and the frequency and severity of claims. There may be differences between actual settlement amounts and recorded reserves and any resulting adjustments are included in expense once a probable amount is known.
Self-Funded Insurance Programs
The Company also maintains a self-funded health insurance program with a stop-loss umbrella policy with a third-party insurer to limit the maximum potential liability for individual claims generally to $0.3 million per person, subject to an aggregating stop-loss limit of $0.4 million. In addition, the program has a total stop-loss limit for total claims, in order to limit the Company’s exposure to catastrophic claims. With respect to this program, the Company considers historical and projected medical utilization data when estimating its health insurance program liability and related expense. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in reserves for its self-funded health insurance programs. The reserves are classified as “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by taking net income (loss) attributable to the Company available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including restricted stock and stock held in escrow if such shares are participating securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the potential dilution that may occur from stock-based awards and other stock-based commitments using the treasury stock or the as-if converted methods, as applicable. For additional information on how the Company computes earnings (loss) per share, see Note 16, Earnings Per Share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements during the year ended December 31, 2022:
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04") which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The relief granted in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform ("ASC 848"), is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform
activities. The provisions of ASC 848 must be applied for all transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. Entities may apply the provisions as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made (i.e. as early as the first quarter 2020). The provisions of this update were extended to December 31, 2024 under ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. There was no material impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this ASU.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. Under the current business combinations guidance, such assets and liabilities are recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning on or after November 1, 2023, including interim periods therein. The standard will not impact acquired contract assets or liabilities from business combinations occurring prior to the effective date of adoption, and the impact in future periods will depend on the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations. The Company has elected to early adopt this accounting standard and there was no material impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this ASU.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance ("ASU 2021-10"). This update requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. These disclosures include information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions, the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, the amounts applicable to each financial line item, and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. ASU 2021-10 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2022 and will apply it to any government assistance received thereafter.
3. Acquisitions
Business Combinations
Simplura Health Group
On November 18, 2020 the Company acquired OEP AM, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries doing business as “Simplura Health Group”). OEP AM, Inc. was a nonpublic entity that specializes in home care services offering placements of personal care assistants, home health aides, and skilled nurses for senior citizens, disabled adults and other high-needs patients. Simplura Health Group operates from its headquarters in Valley Stream, New York, with 57 agency branches across seven states, including in several of the nation’s largest home care markets. The acquisition of Simplura adds a strategic pillar in our mission to address the SDoH by introducing a business in non-medical personal care—a large, rapidly growing sector of healthcare that compliments the NEMT segment.
The stock transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations where a wholly-owned subsidiary of ModivCare Inc. acquired 100.0% of the voting stock of OEP AM Inc. for $548.6 million (a purchase price of $569.8 million less $21.2 million of cash that was acquired).
The following table summarizes information from the allocation of the consideration transferred to acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, net of cash acquired, as of the acquisition date of November 18, 2020 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Cash | $ | 21,182 | |
Accounts receivable (1) | 65,297 | |
Prepaid expenses and other (2) | 10,975 | |
Property and equipment (3) | 1,640 | |
Intangible assets (4) | 264,770 | |
Operating right of use asset (5) | 10,285 | |
Goodwill (6) | 320,383 | |
Other assets (7) | 628 | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (7) | (46,073) | |
Accrued expense (7) | (2,564) | |
Deferred revenue (7) | (2,871) | |
Deferred acquisition payments (8) | (4,046) | |
Deferred acquisition note payable (7) | (1,050) | |
Operating lease liabilities (5) | (10,285) | |
Deferred tax liabilities (9) | (58,452) | |
Total of assets acquired less liabilities assumed | $ | 569,819 | |
(1) Management has valued accounts receivable based on the estimated future collectability of the receivables portfolio. Through this valuation, it was determined that $4.6 million of the initial accounts receivable was uncollectible, and therefore, the initial balance of $69.9 million was decreased to $65.3 million.
(2) Given the short-term nature of the balance of prepaid expenses, the carrying value represents the fair value.
(3) The acquired property and equipment consists primarily of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and vehicles. The fair value of the property and equipment was determined based upon the best and highest use of the property with final values determined using cost and comparable sales methods.
(4) The allocation of consideration exchanged to intangible assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Type | Useful Life | Value |
Payor network | Amortizable | 10 years | $ | 221,000 | |
Trademarks and trade names | Amortizable | 3 years | 43,000 | |
Licenses | Not Amortizable | Indefinite | 770 | |
| | | $ | 264,770 | |
The Company valued trademarks and trade names utilizing the relief of royalty method and payor network utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach. The useful life of the trademarks and trade names intangible was decreased from 10 years to 3 years and the useful life of the the payor network was decreased from 15 years to 10 years effective as of January 1, 2022 due to strategic shifts in the Company's Personal Care segment operations, partially contributed to by the acquisition of Care Finders, as discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements. This is a prospective change to amortization expense. The weighted average useful life of the acquired intangible assets is approximately 8.9 years.
(5) The fair value of the operating lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset (current and long-term) were recorded at $11.7 million based on market rates available to the Company during our preliminary purchase price allocation. This assessment has since been updated through the implementation of ASC 842 as of September 30, 2021, and the related balances have been updated to $10.3 million.
(6) The acquisition preliminarily resulted in $309.7 million of goodwill as a result of expected synergies due to value-based care and solutions being provided to similar patient populations that partner with many of the same payor groups. In the second quarter of 2021, a closing cash adjustment of $3.5 million was paid to OEP AM, in the third quarter of 2021, other assets acquired were adjusted down by $3.9 million and in the fourth quarter of 2021, accounts receivable was adjusted down by $4.6 million due to certain receivables deemed uncollectible which caused a corresponding increase to goodwill of $3.3 million, net of tax impacts. These changes increased the goodwill related to this transaction to $320.4 million. None of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
(7) Accounts payable and certain other current and non-current assets and liabilities are stated at fair value as of the acquisition date.
(8) Deferred acquisition payments are associated with historical acquisitions by Simplura.
(9) Net deferred tax liabilities represent the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and their tax basis.
Care Finders Total Care, LLC
On September 14, 2021, the Company acquired Care Finders which is a personal care provider in the Northeast, with operations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. The acquisition of Care Finders broadens access to in-home personal care solutions for patients and supports the Company's strategy to expand its personal care platform.
The equity transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of ModivCare Inc. acquired 100.0% of the equity securities of Care Finders for $333.4 million (a purchase price of $344.8 million less $11.4 million of cash that was acquired).
The following table summarizes information from the allocation of the consideration transferred to acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, net of cash acquired, as of the acquisition date of September 14, 2021 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Cash | $ | 11,424 | |
Accounts receivable (1) | 14,708 | |
Prepaid expenses and other (2) | 2,625 | |
Property and equipment (3) | 2,527 | |
Inventories (4) | 231 | |
Operating right of use asset (5) | 1,939 | |
Intangibles (6) | 100,750 | |
Goodwill (7) | 232,103 | |
Other assets (8) | 226 | |
Accounts payable (9) | (2,720) | |
Accrued expenses and other accrued liabilities (9) | (14,344) | |
Operating lease liability (5) | (1,939) | |
Deferred tax liabilities (10) | (2,327) | |
Other liabilities (9) | (378) | |
Total of assets acquired less liabilities assumed | $ | 344,825 | |
(1) Management has valued accounts receivable based on the estimated future collectability of the receivables portfolio.
(2) Given the short-term nature of the balance of prepaid expenses, the carrying value represents the fair value.
(3) The acquired property and equipment consists primarily of capitalized software, computer equipment, and automobiles.

4. Segments
The Company’s reportable segments are identified based on a number of factors related to how its chief operating decision maker ("CODM") determines the allocation of resources and assesses the performance of the Company’s operations. The CODM uses service revenue, net and operating income as the measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources, and uses total assets as the measure of assets attributable to each segment. The Company's CODM manages the Company under four reportable segments.
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic units that offer different services under different financial and operating models to the Company’s customers. The segments are managed separately because each requires different technology and marketing strategies. Furthermore, the different segments were each generally acquired as a unit, with the management of each at the time of acquisition retained to continue to operate their respective businesses.
The Company has determined each of the separate reportable segments based on the difference in services provided by each of the segments as provided in further detail below:
•NEMT - The Company's NEMT segment is its legacy segment and operates primarily under the brands ModivCare Solutions and Circulation. The NEMT segment is the largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation programs for state governments and managed care organizations, or MCOs, in the U.S. This segment also holds the results of the Company's captive insurance program;
•Personal Care - The Company's Personal Care segment began operations in November 2020 with the acquisition of Simplura and expanded in September 2021 with the acquisition of Care Finders. The Personal Care segment operates under the brands Simplura and Care Finders and provides personal care to State and Managed Medicaid, Medicare, and Private Pay patient populations in need of care monitoring and assistance performing activities of daily living;
•RPM - The Company's RPM segment began operations in September 2021 with the acquisition of VRI and expanded in May 2022 with the acquisition of GMM. The RPM segment operates under the VRI brand and is a provider of remote patient monitoring solutions, including personal emergency response systems, vitals monitoring and data-driven patient engagement solutions;
•Corporate and Other - Effective January 1, 2022, the Company completed its segment reorganization which resulted in the addition of a Corporate and Other segment that includes the costs associated with the Company's corporate operations. The operating results of the Corporate and Other segment include activities related to executive, accounting, finance, internal audit, tax, legal and certain strategic and corporate development functions for each segment, as well as the results of the Matrix investment. Prior to the segment reorganization, we reported the investment in Matrix as a separate operating segment. Based on the relative size of the Matrix investment and all related activity to the overall financial statements, however, the CODM no longer views it as a separate operating
segment but reviews results in conjunction with the other corporate results of the business. The Company reclassified certain costs associated with this reorganization for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to conform to this presentation.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating income of the reportable segments, which includes an allocation of corporate expenses directly attributable to the specific segment and includes revenues and all other costs directly attributable to the specific segment.
The following table sets forth certain financial information attributable to the Company’s business segments for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

5. Revenue Recognition
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it transfers promised services to its customers and generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these services. The Company satisfies substantially all of its performance obligations over time and recognizes revenue over time instead of at points in time.
Revenue Contract Structure
NEMT Capitated Contracts (per-member-per-month)
Under capitated contracts, payors pay a fixed amount per eligible member per month. Capitation rates are generally based on expected costs and volume of services. We assume the responsibility of meeting the covered healthcare related transportation requirements based on per-member per-month fees for the number of eligible members in the payor’s program. Revenue is recognized based on the population served during the period. Certain capitated contracts have provisions for reconciliations, risk corridors or profit rebates. For contracts with reconciliation provisions, capitation payment is received as a prepayment during the month service is provided. These prepayments are reconciled based on actual cost and/or trip volume and may result in refunds to the payor, or additional payments due from the payor. Contracts with risk corridor or profit rebate provisions allow for profit within a certain corridor and once we reach profit level thresholds or maximums, we discontinue recognizing revenue and instead record a liability within the accrued contract payable account. This liability may be reduced through future increases in trip volume or periodic settlements with the payor. While a profit rebate provision could only result in a liability from this profit threshold, a risk corridor provision could potentially result in receivables if the Company does not reach certain profit minimums, which would be recorded in the reconciliation contract receivables account.
NEMT Fee-for-service Contracts
Fee-for-service ("FFS") revenue represents revenue earned under non-capitated contracts in which we bill and collect a specified amount for each service that we provide. FFS revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered and is reduced by the estimated impact of contractual allowances.
Personal Care Fee-for-service Contracts
Personal Care FFS revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amount from clients, patients and third-party payors for services rendered based on actual personal care hours provided. Payment for services received from third-party payors includes, but is not limited to, insurance companies, hospitals, governmental agencies and other home health care providers who subcontract work to the Company. Certain contracts are subject to retroactive audit and possible adjustment by
those payors based on the nature of the contract or costs incurred. The Company makes estimates of retroactive adjustments and considers these in the recognition of revenue in the period in which the related services are rendered. The difference between estimated settlement and actual settlement is reported in net service revenues as adjustments become known or as years are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, or investigations.
RPM per-member-per-month Contracts
RPM per-member-per-month ("PMPM") revenue consists of revenue from monitoring services provided to the customer. Under RPM contracts, payors pay per-enrolled-member-per-month based on enrolled membership. Consideration is generally fixed for each type of monitoring service and the contracts do not typically contain variable components of consideration. As such, the RPM segment recognizes revenue based on the monthly fee paid by customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue by Contract Type
The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by contract type for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 (in thousands):

Total | | | | $ | 979,361 | | | $ | 975,225 | |
The Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 (collectively, the "Notes") were issued pursuant to two indentures, dated November 4, 2020 and August 24, 2021, respectively, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Senior Notes due 2025 relate to the Company’s acquisition of Simplura and the Senior Notes due 2029 relate to the Company’s acquisition of VRI. The fair value of the Notes as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $896.6 million and $1,038.6 million, respectively, which was determined based on quoted prices in active markets, and therefore designated as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's future subordinated indebtedness, rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness, are effectively subordinated to any of the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the New Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The indentures for the Notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock; make certain investments; create or incur certain liens; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge, consolidate, amalgamate or transfer substantially all of its assets; agree to dividend or other payment restrictions affecting its restricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of its restricted subsidiaries. These covenants, however, are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications, and certain covenants may be suspended in the event the Notes are assigned an investment grade rating from two of three rating agencies. The indentures for both the Senior Notes due 2025 and the Senior Notes due 2029 provide that the notes may become subject to redemption under certain circumstances.
The Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes due 2025 upon not less than ten days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below:
| | | | | |
Year | Percentage |
| |
2023 | 101.469% |
2024 and thereafter | 100.000% |
The Company may also redeem the Senior Notes due 2029, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2024, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40.0% of the Senior Notes due 2029 prior to October 1, 2024, at a redemption price of 105.000% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings, subject to certain conditions as specified in the Indenture Agreement.
On or after October 1, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes due 2029 upon not less than ten nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on October 1 of the years indicated below:
| | | | | |
Year | Percentage |
2024 | 102.500% |
2025 | 101.250% |
2026 and thereafter | 100.000% |
The Company will pay interest on the Senior Notes due 2025 at 5.875% per annum until maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, with the first interest payment date being May 15, 2021. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date on November 15, 2025 when 100.0% of the outstanding principal will be required to be repaid.
Pursuant to the Senior Notes due 2029, the Company will pay interest on the notes at 5.000% per annum until maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, with the first interest payment date being April 1, 2022. Principal payments are not required until the maturity date on October 1, 2029 when 100% of the outstanding principal will be required to be repaid. As a part of the bond issuance process, we incurred a $6.6 million bridge commitment fee that provided a potential funding backstop in the event that the Notes did not meet the desired subscription level to be used to acquire VRI. That commitment expired unused upon closing of the Notes and the fee was expensed in the third quarter of 2021.
In relation to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2025, debt issuance costs of $14.5 million were incurred at the date of issuance and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the Notes. Additionally, in relation to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2029, debt issuance costs of $13.5 million were incurred at the date of issuance and these costs were deferred and are amortized to interest cost over the term of the Notes. As of December 31, 2022, $20.6 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs was netted against the long-term debt balance on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2022.

Credit Facility
The Company was a party to an amended and restated credit and guaranty agreement, dated as of August 2, 2013 (as amended, the “Old Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. On September 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), which among other things, amended the Old Credit Facility to permit the incurrence of additional debt to finance the acquisition of VRI and revise financial covenants therein to permit the consummation of the VRI acquisition. The amount available under the revolving credit facility (the “Old Credit Facility”) included an aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million, with a sub-facility for letters of credit of $40.0 million.
On February 3, 2022, the Company terminated its Old Credit Facility and entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuing bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an issuing bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Regions Bank, Bank of Montreal and Capital One, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $325.0 million. The New Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans, letters of credit and alternative currency loans in amounts of up to $25.0 million, $60.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively. The Company did not draw any amount of the New Credit Facility at closing of the New Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $38.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under the New Credit Facility. The proceeds of the New Credit Facility may be used (i) to finance working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (including to finance capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and investments).
Under the New Credit Facility, the Company has an option to request an increase in the amount of the New Credit Facility or obtain incremental term loans from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) by an aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million, plus an unlimited amount so long as the pro forma secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00, with either additional commitments from lenders under the New Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions approved by the Company and the administrative agent (which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld), so long as, at the time of any such increase, no default or event of default exists, the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the New Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants in the New Credit Agreement. The Company may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2027. The Company may prepay the New Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, each as defined in the New Credit Agreement. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the New Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Company at any time without penalty.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA Rate, as applicable and each as defined in the New Credit Agreement, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.75% to 3.50% in the case of Term Benchmark loans or RFR loans, and 0.75% to 2.50% in the case of the Alternate Base Rate loans, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as defined in the New Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans, on the last day of the relevant interest period in the case of Term Benchmark loans, and monthly in arrears in the case of RFR loans. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee range from 0.30% to 0.50% and 1.75% to 3.50%, respectively, in each case, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. The Company is subject to financial covenants, including total net leverage and interest coverage covenants.
The Company’s obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s present and future material domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain material domestic subsidiaries that are excluded from being guarantors pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the New Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s or such guarantor’s respective assets. If an event of default occurs, the required lenders may cause the administrative agent to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses under the New Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. All amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable upon the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. The New Credit Agreement also contains a cross default to any of the Company’s indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $40.0 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022.
13. Convertible Preferred Stock
Following (i) the completion of a rights offering in February 2015, under which certain holders of our Common Stock exercised subscription rights to purchase Preferred Stock, and (ii) the purchase of Preferred Stock by Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Blackwell Partners, LLC - Series A and Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. (collectively, the “Coliseum Stockholders”), pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement between the Coliseum Stockholders and us, we issued 805,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which were eligible for a cash dividend on each share of Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by a committee of our of Directors (the "Board"), at the rate of 5.5% per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect.
Cash dividends were payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, and, if declared, began to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. Cash dividends on redeemable convertible preferred stock totaling $2.0 million were distributed to convertible preferred stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2020. No cash dividends were distributed to convertible preferred stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Preferred Stock Conversion
On June 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) with Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. and certain funds and accounts managed by Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (collectively, the “Holders”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the Company agreed to purchase 369,120 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, held by the Holders in the aggregate, in exchange for (i) $209.88 in cash per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus (ii) a cash amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the day prior to June 11, 2020, and (b) the Holders converted 369,120 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into (i) 2.5075 shares of Common Stock of the Company for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus (ii) a cash payment equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the day prior to June 11, 2020, plus (iii) a cash payment of $8.82 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The Conversion Agreement was considered to be an induced conversion in which a premium consideration was provided by the Company to Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
On September 3, 2020, the Company elected to effect the conversion (the “Conversion”) of all of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In accordance with the Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement dated June 8, 2020, the Company repurchased 27,509 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Holders for (i) a cash amount equal to $209.88 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus (ii) a cash amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares through the day prior to the Conversion. In connection with the Conversion, all remaining outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock at the conversion rate of 2.5075 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock and cash-in-lieu of fractional shares.
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, retained earnings was reduced by the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the carrying amount of the shares surrendered. The impact to retained earnings of the excess consideration transferred, including the direct costs incurred, and write-off of any unamortized issuance costs was $52.1 million as of December 31, 2020.
The Preferred Stock was accounted for outside of stockholders’ equity as it could be redeemed upon certain change in control events that were not solely in the control of the Company. Dividends were recorded in stockholders’ equity and consist of the 5.5% dividend.
As of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 there were no shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding.

The Company provides stock-based compensation to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan allows the flexibility to grant or award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units including restricted stock units and performance awards to eligible persons.
The following table summarizes the activity under the 2006 Plan as of December 31, 2022:

2006 Plan | 5,400,000 | | | 1,177,991 | | | 125,179 | | | 124,898 | |
The following table reflects the amount of stock-based compensation for share settled awards recorded in each financial statement line item for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, |

Service expense | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 222 | |
General and administrative expense | 6,872 | | | 5,904 | | | 3,708 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Total stock-based compensation | $ | 6,872 | | | $ | 5,904 | | | $ | 3,930 | |
Stock-based compensation included in general and administrative expense is related to the employees across all of our segments, except for a select group of employees that were included within service expense in 2020, which have since been phased out.
The amounts above exclude tax benefits of $1.9 million, $1.6 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock Options
The fair value of each stock option awarded to employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula based on the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, |
| 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Expected dividend yield | 0.0% | | 0.0% | | 0.0% |
Expected stock price volatility | 39.6% | - | 46.5% | | 36.6% | - | 41.6% | | 28.3% | - | 38.1% |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.6% | - | 4.4% | | 0.3% | - | 0.9% | | 0.2% | - | 1.4% |
Expected life of options (years) | 3.5 | - | 4.5 | | 3.5 | - | 4.4 | | 3.5 | - | 4.4 |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury security rate in effect as of the date of grant which corresponds to the expected life of the award. The expected stock price volatility and expected lives of the stock options were based on the Company’s historical data. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan vest ratably in equal annual installments over 3 to 4 years, or, for certain grants, over periods designated in the respective employee’s agreements, and expire after 5 to 7 years.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 109,731 shares of its Common Stock in connection with the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s 2006 Plan.

Restricted stock unit equivalents to purchase common stock | 58,831 | | | 1,178 | | | 618 | |
17. Leases
The Company has non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with office space and other facilities. The leases expire in various years and generally provide for renewal options. In the normal course of business, management expects that these leases will be renewed or replaced by leases on other properties.
Certain operating leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined increases in the Consumer Price Index, subject to certain minimum increases. Several of these lease agreements contain provisions for periods in which rent payments are reduced. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is recorded as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company evaluates its contracts and verifies that there is an identified asset and that the Company, or the tenant, has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the contract term and has the right to direct the use of the identified asset. If a contract is determined to contain a lease and the Company is a lessee, the lease is evaluated to determine whether it is an operating or financing lease.
The discount rate used for each lease is determined by estimating an appropriate incremental borrowing rate. In estimating an incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers the debt information, credit rating, and interest rate on the revolving credit facility, which is collateralized by the Company's assets. Accordingly, the Company continues discounting its remaining operating lease payments for calculating its lease liability using a weighted-average discount rate of 5.31%. The Company applies this rate to its entire portfolio of leases on the basis that any adjustments to the rate for lease term or asset classification would not affect the interest rate charged under the debt or have a material effect on the discounted lease liability.
A summary of all lease classifications in our consolidated balance sheets is as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2022, the Company had $1.5 million of federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. The Company also had approximately $39.6 million of state NOL carryforwards which expire as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | |
2023 | $ | 58 | |
2024 | 2,738 | |
2025 | — | |
2026 | 387 | |
2027 | — | |
2028 | 9 | |
2029 and thereafter | 36,391 | |
Total state net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 39,583 | |
The federal NOL carryforwards and approximately $21.5 million of the state NOL carryforwards relate to pre-acquisition tax periods and are subject to change of ownership limitations on their use. These limitations are not expected to restrict the ultimate use of these loss carryforwards.
Realization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is dependent on reversing taxable temporary differences and on generating sufficient taxable income. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized to the extent they are not covered by a valuation allowance. The
amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2022 was a decrease of $0.5 million, of which $0.6 million related to current operations offset by $0.1 million related to the balance from the Care Finders acquisition. The valuation allowance of $2.9 million includes amounts for state NOLs, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards for which the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that these carryforwards will not be realized in the ordinary course of operations. The Company will continue to assess the valuation allowance, and to the extent it is determined that the valuation allowance should be changed, an appropriate adjustment will be recorded.
CARES ACT and Inflation Reduction Act
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions that, among other things, allow businesses to carry back NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the five prior years, accelerate refunds of previously generated corporate alternative minimum tax credits, deferral of employer's share of certain payroll taxes, and generally loosen the business interest limitation imposed by the Tax Reform Act.
Pursuant to the CARES Act, the Company carried its 2018 NOL back five years. As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $27.3 million receivable for the 2018 U.S. NOL carryback, and a $11.0 million tax benefit from the favorable carryback tax rate of 35% compared to a carryforward tax rate of 21%. The Company also recorded an additional income tax payable of $3.5 million for 2019 as a result of the 2018 NOL being carried back instead of carried forward.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company received all of the $27.3 million receivable for the 2018 U.S. NOL carryback. This $27.3 million was also subject to the IRS Joint Committee Review, which was completed in the third quarter of 2021 with no material adjustments being made.
On August 16, 2022, the IRA was enacted into law. This Act includes a 15.0 percent book minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of applicable corporations, a number of clean-energy tax credits, and a 1.0 percent excise tax on certain corporate stock buybacks. We do not expect these changes to have a material impact on our provision for income taxes or consolidated financial statements.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Internal Revenue Service completed its audit of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for 2015-2018 and no material adjustments were made to the large refunds (total of $47.6 million from capital loss and NOL carrybacks) received from the loss on the WD Services sale. In addition, we are being examined by various states and by the Saudi Arabian tax authorities. All known adjustments have been fully reserved.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not recognize a tax benefit or expense from interest or penalties. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a benefit of approximately $0.2 million and an expense of $0.1 million, respectively, in interest and penalties. The Company had approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the payment of penalties and interest accrued as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
A reconciliation of the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, |
| 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year | $ | 1,290 | | | $ | 2,219 | | | $ | 1,403 | |
Transfer from discontinued operations | — | | | — | | | 700 | |
Increase related to prior year tax positions | 108 | | | (1,027) | | | — | |
Increase related to current year tax positions | 415 | | | 148 | | | 116 | |
Statute of limitations expiration | (133) | | | (50) | | | — | |
Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year | $ | 1,680 | | | $ | 1,290 | | | $ | 2,219 | |
The entire ending balance in unrecognized tax benefits of $1.7 million as of December 31, 2022 would reduce tax expense and our effective tax rate. The Company expects no material amount of the unrecognized tax benefits to be recognized during the next twelve months.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations is generally three years for the U.S. and between three and four years for the various states in which the Company operates. The tax years that remain open for examination by the U.S. and states principally include the years 2018 to 2021.
19. Commitments and Contingencies
Surveys, audits and governmental investigations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be or become subject to surveys, audits and governmental investigations under or with respect to various governmental programs and state and federal laws. Agencies associated with the programs and other third-party commercial payors periodically conduct extensive pre-payment or post-payment medical reviews or other audits of claims data to identify possible payments made or authorized other than in compliance with the requirements of Medicare or Medicaid. In order to conduct these reviews, documentation is requested from us and then that documentation is reviewed to determine compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the eligibility of clients to receive benefits, the appropriateness of the care provided to those clients, and the documentation of that care. Similarly, other state and federal governmental agencies conduct reviews and investigation to confirm our compliance with applicable laws where we operate, including regarding employment and wage related regulations and matters. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any regulatory reviews or other governmental surveys, audits or investigations, but management does not expect any ongoing surveys or audits involving the Company to have a material adverse effect on the business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company. Regardless of our expectations, however, surveys and audits are subject to inherent uncertainties and can have a material adverse impact on our company due to, among other reasons, potential regulatory orders that inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as reimbursement or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and investigative costs.
Legal proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be or become involved in various lawsuits, some of which may seek monetary damages, including claims for punitive damages. Unless otherwise expressly stated, management does not expect any ongoing lawsuits involving the Company to have a material impact on the business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, however, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies related to legal matters when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a range of reasonably possible losses can be estimated, the Company records an accrual for the most probable amount in the range. Due to the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of any legal proceeding, it may not be reasonably possible to estimate a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution. Legal fees related to all legal matters are expensed as incurred.
On September 27, 2022, Daniel Greenleaf, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, asserted claims in an arbitration against the Company. His claims allege that the Company breached Mr. Greenleaf’s employment agreement and include a tort claim against the Company. As disclosed to the Company on December 2, 2022, Mr. Greenleaf’s arbitration complaint seeks contractual, extra-contractual, and statutory damages totaling approximately $35 million, plus additional damages that were not quantified. The Company disputes Mr. Greenleaf’s claims in their entirety and intends to vigorously contest these claims. Based on the status of the proceeding and the uncertainty of the outcome, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss for this matter. The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of the arbitration will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations. However, an unfavorable outcome could be material to the Company's operating results or cash flows for the period in which it occurs.
On August 6, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, ModivCare Solutions, LLC (“ModivCare Solutions”), was served with a putative class action lawsuit filed against it by Mohamed Farah, the owner of transportation provider Dalmar Transportation, in the Western District of Missouri, seeking to represent all non-employee transportation providers contracted with ModivCare Solutions. The lawsuit alleges claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (the “FLSA”), and the Missouri Minimum Wage Act, and asserts that all transportation providers to ModivCare Solutions in the putative class should be considered ModivCare Solutions’ employees rather than independent contractors. On June 6, 2021, the Court conditionally certified as the putative class all current and former In Network Transportation Providers who, individually or through their
companies, were issued 1099 payments from ModivCare Solutions for providing non-emergency medical transportation services for ModivCare Solutions for the previous three years. Notice of the proposed collective class was issued on October 5, 2021, and potential members of the class had until January 3, 2022 to opt-in. Plaintiff moved for class certification on August 15, 2022, and ModivCare Solutions filed an opposition to class certification on September 6, 2022. On January 13, 2023, the matter was transferred with the consent of the parties and the court to binding arbitration. ModivCare Solutions believes that it is and has been in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations regarding the characterization of the transportation providers as independent contractors, and does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this arbitration will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
On January 21, 2019, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio unsealed a qui tam complaint, filed in December 2015, against Mobile Care Group, Inc., Mobile Care Group of Ohio, LLC, Mobile Care EMS & Transport, Inc. (collectively, the “Mobile Care Entities”) and ModivCare Solutions by Brandee White, Laura Cunningham, and Jeffery Wisier (the “Relators”) alleging that the Mobile Care Entities and indirectly ModivCare Solutions violated the federal False Claims Act by presenting claims for payment to government healthcare programs knowing that the prerequisites for such claims to be paid had not been met. The Relators sought to recover damages, fees and costs under the federal False Claims Act, including treble damages, civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. None of the Relators were employed by ModivCare Solutions. The federal government declined to intervene against ModivCare Solutions. ModivCare Solutions filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on April 22, 2019, but such motion was denied on October 26, 2021. ModivCare Solutions filed an interlocutory appeal of this ruling with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals which was subsequently denied. The Relators and Modivcare tentatively agreed to settle the Relators' substantive claims in September 2022 and continue discussions concerning the Relators' counsel’s attorney fees. The settlement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
In 2017, one of our Personal Care segment subsidiaries, All Metro Home Care Services of New York, Inc. d/b/a All Metro Health Care (“All Metro”), received a class action lawsuit in state court claiming that, among other things, it failed to properly pay live-in caregivers who stay in patients’ homes for 24 hours per day (“live-ins”). The Company currently pays live-ins for 13 hours per day as supported through a written opinion letter from the New York State Department of Labor (“NYSDOL”). A similar case involving this issue has been heard by the New York Court of Appeals (New York’s highest court), which on March 26, 2019, issued a ruling reversing earlier lower courts’ decisions that an employer must pay live-ins for 24 hours. The Court of Appeals agreed with the NYSDOL’s interpretation to pay live-ins 13 hours instead of 24 hours if certain conditions were being met. If the class action lawsuit on this matter is allowed to proceed, and is successful, All Metro may be liable for back wages and litigated damages going back to November 2011. All Metro filed its motion to oppose class certification of this matter and the matter was heard on June 23, 2022. The state court issued an order certifying the class on December 12, 2022. All Metro intends to defend itself vigorously with respect to this matter, believes that it is and has been in compliance in all material respects with the laws and regulations covering pay for live-in caregivers, and does not believe in any event that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Purchased service commitments
The Company entered into a contract related to transportation services that includes a minimum volume requirement. If the Company does not utilize the minimum level of services specified in the agreement, a penalty provision applies. Future minimum payments under the service commitments consisted of the following at December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
| Service |
| Commitment |
2023 | $ | 36,000 | |
2024 | 49,500 | |
Total future minimum payments | $ | 85,500 | |
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company has one deferred compensation plan for management and highly compensated employees of NEMT Services as of December 31, 2022. The deferred compensation plan is unfunded, and benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. The total of participant deferrals, which is reflected in “Other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets, was $2.0 million and $2.7 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
20. Transactions with Related Parties
Cash Settled Awards
On September 11, 2014, the Company granted 200,000 stock option equivalent units (“SOEUs”) to Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum”) as compensation for the Board service of Christopher Shackelton, Chairman of the Board, for his service on the Board in lieu of the restricted share awards that are given to our other non-employee directors.as compensation. These shares were granted at an exercise price of $43.81 per share that were fully vested. The SOEUs were accounted for as liability awards, with the recorded expense adjustment attributable to the Company’s change in stock price from the previous reporting period. On August 12, 2021, Coliseum exercised all of the SOEUs at a stock price of $182.73 per share for a total cash settlement of $27.8 million. The Company recorded an expense of $8.8 million and $15.8 million for SOEUs during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was included in “General and administrative expense” in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there were no SOEU's outstanding and no remaining liability associated with the awards.
The cash settled share-based compensation expense in total excluded a tax benefit of $2.6 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company had no outstanding SOEUs at December 31, 2022, and therefore, no tax impact was recorded at December 31, 2022.
As discussed in Note 13, Convertible Preferred Stock, Net, on June 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement with Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. and certain funds and accounts managed by Coliseum Capital Management, LLC. Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, the Company purchased 369,120 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, in exchange for $209.88 in cash per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus a cash amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the day prior to June 11, 2020. Further, the Holders converted 369,120 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 925,567 shares of common stock, a cash payment equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the day prior to June 11, 2020, and a cash payment of $8.82 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The amount of accrued dividends paid pursuant to the Conversion Agreement was equal to $0.8 million.
Further, on September 3, 2020, the Company elected to affect the conversion (the “Conversion”) of all of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In accordance with the Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement dated June 8, 2020 (as amended), immediately prior to the Conversion, the Company repurchased 27,509 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Holders for a cash amount equal to $209.88 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and a cash amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares through the day prior to the Conversion.
There were no convertible preferred stock dividends earned by Coliseum Stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. Convertible preferred stock dividends earned by the Coliseum Stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $2.0 million, including accrued dividends paid pursuant to the Conversion Agreement.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (December 31, 2022). Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, has concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses identified in internal control over financial reporting as described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022.
In light of the material weaknesses described below, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and under the oversight of our Board of Directors, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based on management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022, to the extent of the following material weaknesses:
The Company did not (i) conduct an effective risk assessment to identify and assess changes in its internal control environment, specifically related to new information technology ("IT") systems and newly acquired companies, (ii) structure effective reporting lines, appropriate authorities, or responsibilities, or (iii) establish mechanisms to enforce accountability in the pursuit of objectives to establish and operate effective internal control over financial reporting.
As a consequence:
•The Company did not establish effective general information technology controls ("GITCs"), specifically change management controls and logical access controls, that support the consistent operation of certain of the Company’s IT systems. Therefore, automated process-level controls and manual controls dependent upon information derived from those IT systems are also ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted, and
•The Company did not design, implement and effectively operate process-level control activities related to its i) revenue processes (including service revenue and accounts receivable) and payroll processes (including payroll expenses recorded within service expense and general and administrative expense) within the Personal Care segment and ii) payroll processes (including payroll expenses recorded within service expense and general and administrative expense) within the NEMT and Corporate segments.
The control deficiencies and resulting material weaknesses described above did not result in any material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements or other disclosures. These control deficiencies created, however, a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We concluded, therefore, that these deficiencies represented material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, who audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an adverse opinion on the operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. KPMG LLP’s report is presented in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Remediation Efforts and Management’s Remediation Plan
We, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, are in the process of ongoing remediation efforts related to the identified material weaknesses.
The material weaknesses identified at the Personal Care segment are largely the result of the significant integration and centralization activities across a high volume of disparate systems at our Personal Care segment. In addition to the remediation efforts and changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurring during the applicable period described below, efforts of which are ongoing, we have identified the following additional remediation steps at our Personal Care segment:
•Continue to design and implement structured reporting lines and appropriate authorities and responsibilities to create an environment that enforces accountability and seeks to ensure that the impacted financial reporting processes and related internal controls are properly designed, implemented and executed;
•Continue to enhance the risk-assessment process to identify and assess changes to financial statement level risks and enhance the design of existing control activities and implement additional process-level control activities, including, to the extent practicable, the standardization of control activities and information used in those activities with a view to ensuring these enhancements are properly designed, implemented and effectively operating;
•Continue to design, enhance and implement GITCs, including change management and logical access controls, to support process-level automated controls intended to ensure that information needed for the operation of manual process-level controls and financial reporting is accurate and complete; and
•Continue to work with third party specialists to assist in the design and implementation of process-level controls activities, including implementing several new systems to modernize our financial process workflow and control environment.
The other material weaknesses, which were identified in the NEMT and Corporate Segments, are the result of the implementation of a new general ledger IT system and evaluation of the IT risks related to this new system. With respect to these weaknesses that were not remediated as of year-end, we will perform the following remediation steps:
•Enhance existing processes and implement GITCs to address changes in risks related to new IT systems risks related to change management and logical access to support the effective operation of automated process-level controls and ensure that information needed for the operation of manual process-level controls and financial reporting is accurate and complete; and
•Implement a new personnel management system in 2023 after the sunsetting of the legacy system in which this weakness was identified and design a new suite of internal controls with appropriate authorities.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Despite the changing internal control environment at the Personal Care segment, the Company made progress toward the remediation of the previously disclosed material weaknesses identified during 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, in addition to the remediation plan put into place by management that includes the addition of resources within the organization to improve structure and help mitigate risks previously identified, the Company has continued to build out our Controls Compliance and Financial Systems (CCFS) department to strengthen the Company’s internal control oversight and enhance consistency across the organization, including the addition of an IT specialist.
In addition to the changes identified above, the Company finalized the integration of Care Finders Total Care, LLC and VRI Intermediate Holdings, LLC into our existing control framework.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
