Improving Outcomes for Growth

A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with myasthenia  
gravis, a rare chronic autoimmune neuromuscular 
disease which impacts the strength of a person’s 
muscles. People with myasthenia gravis can often 
experience muscle weakness, double vision and 
difficulties with speech and chewing. 

This patient was being treated unsuccessfully 
with prednisone, leading his doctor to request  
coverage for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)  
as an alternative long-term therapy to help  
control the condition. IVIG use for this indication 
ran contrary to health plan policy, due to a lack  
of evidence-based literature supporting its use  
in this particular situation.

Instead of simply denying the medication,  

Magellan Rx Management used this as an opportu-
nity to provide education for the doctor, with the 
goal of getting better, more efficacy-based treat-
ment to the patient. Magellan Rx Management 

tapped into its Key Opinion Leader (KOL) network, 
and a peer-to-peer consultation was arranged 
between the requesting doctor and Dr. Dennis 
Bourdette, a nationally renowned neurologist. 

Dr. Bourdette provided referenced and evidence- 

based recommendations and the patient’s doctor 
determined that a combination of two oral  
medications – prednisone and azathioprine – 
would be the best option for this patient. The 
doctor was appreciative of the time he spent  
with Dr. Bourdette, a leader in his field, and he  
further asked to consult with the KOL on other  
similar cases moving forward. 

This example led to a successful outcome for 

each stakeholder; the patient, the doctor and  
the health plan. The patient received a drug that 
ultimately was a better fit for his particular  
diagnosis and desired outcome, and the savings 
amounted to approximately $12,000 per month.

Stacy Ellingen is a woman from Wisconsin who’s 
never met an obstacle she couldn’t overcome. 
After graduating from high school, Stacy left home 
to attend the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. 
After graduating with a degree in journalism and 
advertising, she moved to Oshkosh. Now in her 
thirties, Stacy leads a busy professional life as  
a small business owner and an independent con-
tractor with InControl Wisconsin, an organization 
that plays a key role in advancing self-directed 
supports in the state. She’s become more involved 
in disability advocacy efforts and the community. 
Stacy’s story is a successful one – living inde- 
pendently for more than five years, finding a job 
about which she is passionate and becoming 
involved in her community. But now consider  
this success as part of Stacy’s larger story – she 
grew up with cerebral palsy, resulting in complex 
physical support needs. However, Stacy grew up  

believing that she could do everything others do. 
Working with her self-directed support consultant, 
Kathi Miller, an employee of TMG by Magellan 
Health, Stacy proved she could do everything 
others do. 

“Kathi has helped me reach my goals in many, 

many ways,” Stacy said. Kathi and Stacy joined 
forces to identify community home care providers  
to support Stacy in meeting her daily needs at 
home and at work. They partnered to identify ways  
that Stacy could make responsible budget decisions  
in purchasing services to meet her goals. When 
developing her small business, Kathi supported 
Stacy in connecting with the local business  
community to create professional peer connec-
tions that enhanced her business development 
strategies. “Most of all though, Kathi encouraged 
me to keep moving forward when things got 
tough! She has been amazing!” said Stacy.

1  The foregoing financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes  
as presented in Magellan’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, attached herein.

2  In the above financial table and elsewhere in the Annual Report, we refer to segment profit, adjusted net income and 
adjusted earnings per common share, which are non-GAAP measures. Segment profit is equal to net revenues less the 
sum of cost of care, cost of goods sold, direct service costs and other operating expenses, and includes income from 
unconsolidated subsidiaries, but excludes segment profit or loss from non-controlling interests held by other parties, 
stock compensation expense, special charges or benefits, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consid-
eration recorded in relation to acquisitions. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share reflect 
certain adjustments made for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2013 to exclude non-cash stock compensation 
expense resulting from restricted stock purchases by sellers, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, 
amortization of identified acquisition intangibles, as well as impairment of identified acquisition intangibles. For a 
reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures, please refer to Magellan’s Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, attached herein.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements 

PART I 

This Form 10-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act 

of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 
“Exchange Act”). Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements the Company (as 
defined below) makes regarding our future operating results and liquidity needs. Although the Company believes that its 
plans, intentions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance 
that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such 
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual 
results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors currently 
known to management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements are 
set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. When used in this Form 10-K, 
the words “estimate,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to be 
forward-looking statements. 

Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Form 10-K speaks only as of the date on which it 

is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not 
possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any 
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be 
required by law. 

You should also be aware that while the Company from time to time communicates with securities analysts, the 
Company does not disclose to them any material non-public information, internal forecasts or other confidential business 
information. Therefore, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain projections, forecasts or opinions, 
those reports are not the Company’s responsibility and are not endorsed by the Company. You should not assume that 
the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst, irrespective of the content of the statement or 
report.

employers, labor unions, various military and governmental agencies and third party administrators (“TPAs”). 

Healthcare 

The Healthcare segment (“Healthcare”) includes the Company’s: (i) management of behavioral healthcare 

services and employee assistance program (“EAP”) services, (ii) management of other specialty areas including 
diagnostic imaging and musculoskeletal management, and (iii) the integrated management of physical, behavioral and 

1 

 
pharmaceutical healthcare for special populations, delivered through Magellan Complete Care (“MCC”). These special 
populations include individuals with serious mental illness (“SMI”), dual eligibles, long-term services and supports and 
other populations with unique and often complex healthcare needs. 

The Company’s coordination and management of these healthcare services are provided through its 

comprehensive network of medical and behavioral health professionals, clinics, hospitals and ancillary service providers. 
This network of credentialed and privileged providers is integrated with clinical and quality improvement programs to 
improve access to care and enhance the healthcare experience for individuals in need of care, while at the same time 
making the cost of these services more affordable for our customers. The Company generally does not directly provide 
or own any provider of treatment services, although it does employ licensed behavioral health counselors to deliver 
non-medical counseling under certain government contracts. 

The Healthcare segment’s commercial division serves a variety of customers, with services, inclusive of special 

population management, provided under contracts with health plans and accountable care organizations for some or all 
of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members, as well as with employers. The government division contracts 
with local, state and federal governmental agencies to provide services to recipients under Medicaid, Medicare and other 
government programs. 

The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where the Company 

assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services in exchange for a 
fixed per member per month fee and (ii) administrative services only (“ASO”) products, where the Company provides 
services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume 
responsibility for the cost of the treatment services. 

Pharmacy Management 

The Pharmacy Management segment (“Pharmacy Management”) comprises products and solutions that provide 

clinical and financial management of pharmaceuticals paid under medical and pharmacy benefit programs. Pharmacy 
Management’s services include: (i) pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) services; (ii) pharmacy benefit 
administration (“PBA”) for state Medicaid and other government sponsored programs; (iii) pharmaceutical dispensing 
operations; (iv) clinical and formulary management programs; (v) medical pharmacy management programs; and 
(vi) programs for the integrated management of specialty drugs across both the medical and pharmacy benefit that treat 
complex conditions, regardless of site of service, method of delivery, or benefit reimbursement. 

Pharmacy Management’s services are provided under contracts with health plans, employers, MCOs, state 
Medicaid programs, Medicare Part D and other government agencies, and encompass risk-based and fee-for-service 
(“FFS”) arrangements. In addition, Pharmacy Management has subcontract arrangements to provide PBM services for 
certain Healthcare customers. 

Corporate 

This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of amounts not allocated to the Healthcare and Pharmacy 

Management segments that are largely associated with costs related to being a publicly traded company. In order to 
better represent the operations of the Company’s segments, effective January 1, 2016, the Company began allocating 
operational and corporate support costs to the Healthcare and Pharmacy Management segments. These costs, which were 
historically reported in the Corporate segment, include operational support functions such as sales and marketing and 
information technology, as well as corporate support functions such as executive, finance and human resources. Prior 
period balances have been reclassified to reflect this change. 

See Note 10—“Business Segment Information” to the consolidated financial statements for certain segment 

financial data relating to our business set forth elsewhere herein.

Industry 

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), total U.S. healthcare spending was 
projected to have increased 4.8 percent to nearly $3.4 trillion in 2016, representing approximately 18.1 percent of the 
gross domestic product. With the uncertain economic environment, rising healthcare costs, increased fiscal pressures on 
federal and state governments and the uncertainty around the full implementation of healthcare reform, healthcare 
spending will continue to be one of the greatest pressing issues for the American public and government agencies. The 
rapidly evolving clinical and technological environment demands the expertise of specialized healthcare management 
services to provide both high-quality and affordable care. 

Over the last several years, the Company has transformed itself into a healthcare management business that is 

focused on managing the fastest growing, most complex areas of health, including special populations, complete 
pharmacy benefits and other specialty areas of healthcare.

Business Strategy 

The Company is engaged in the healthcare management business, and is focused on managing the fastest 

growing, most complex areas of health, including special populations, complete pharmacy benefits and other specialty 
areas of health. The Company develops innovative solutions that combine advanced analytics, agile technology and 
clinical excellence to drive better decision making, positively impact health outcomes and optimize the cost of care for 
the members it serves. The Company currently provides managed healthcare services, which include the integrated 
management of physical, behavioral and pharmaceutical healthcare for special populations, and the management of 
behavioral healthcare and other specialty areas, as well as pharmacy management services. The Company’s strategy is to 
expand its integrated management programs for special populations, expand its pharmacy management business and 
further grow its other existing behavioral healthcare and other specialty business. The Company believes that certain of 
its clients may prefer to consolidate outsourced vendors, and that as a vendor offering multiple outsourced products, it 
will have a competitive advantage in the market. The Company seeks to grow its business through the following 
initiatives: 

Expanding integrated management services provided to special populations through Magellan Complete Care.  

The Company, through Magellan Complete Care, seeks to expand its focus on the clinically integrated management of 
complex populations including individuals with SMI, dual-eligibles, those eligible for long-term services and supports, 
and other unique, high-cost populations. These programs holistically manage the behavioral and physical healthcare, 
including drug spend, of special populations and utilize the Company’s unique expertise to improve health outcomes and 
lower costs. The Company believes its significant Medicaid, behavioral health and pharmacy experience will enable it to 
further develop and market programs to manage these special populations. The Company is developing independent 
special population management capabilities and may enter into partnerships, joint ventures or acquisitions that facilitate 
this effort. The Company believes it is positioned to grow its membership and revenues in the integrated care 
management of special populations over the long term. 

Expanding the Pharmacy Management business.  The Company has operated in both the specialty 

pharmaceutical management and Medicaid pharmacy benefits management businesses for several years and acquired a 
commercial PBM company in 2013, and additional pharmacy companies in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The Company has 
integrated these businesses, leveraging their strength and assets, and has built out its commercial PBM capabilities in 
order to expand its presence in the pharmaceutical marketplace. The Pharmacy Management business comprises 
products and solutions that provide clinical and financial management of pharmaceuticals paid under medical and 
pharmacy management programs. Pharmacy Management is a full service PBM that provides a comprehensive suite of 
solutions, including pharmacy benefit management; pharmacy benefit administration for state Medicaid and other 
government sponsored programs; pharmaceutical dispensing operations; clinical and formulary management programs; 
medical pharmacy management programs; and programs for the integrated management of specialty drugs across both 
the medical and pharmacy benefit that treat complex conditions, regardless of site of service, method of delivery, or 
benefit reimbursement. These services are available individually, in combination, or in a fully integrated manner. The 
Company is marketing its pharmacy management services to existing and new health plans, employers, managed care 
organizations, state governments, Medicare Part D, and other government agencies, exchanges, brokers and consultants. 
In addition, the Company will continue to upsell its pharmacy products to its existing customers and market its pharmacy 
solutions to the Healthcare customer base. 

Continued growth in our other existing behavioral healthcare and other specialty business.  The Company has 
operated in both the commercial and public sectors of managed behavioral healthcare by ensuring the delivery of quality 
outcomes and appropriate care through its unique behavioral healthcare expertise in managing clinical care, provider 
networks, claims and customer service. The Company seeks to distinguish itself in the marketplace through a focus on 
clinical excellence, provider partnerships, product and service innovation, and consumer engagement. In addition, the 
Company focuses on continually developing and providing innovative and cost effective solutions to its customers, and 
expanding into new markets. 

Within its Healthcare segment, the commercial division is focused on providing managed behavioral services 

that seek to provide a superior outsourced behavioral health management alternative to its health plan, employer and 
government customers. The Company has expanded its product offerings including population health solutions for 
Autism Spectrum Disorders, caregivers, managed long term care, seriously mentally ill, suicide prevention, child welfare 
programs and computerized cognitive behavioral therapy. The commercial division also encompasses the management of 
specialty services in which the Company’s strategy is to deliver innovative and clinically appropriate management 

4 

programs that create value for its clients through the reduction in the number of inappropriate services and by ensuring 
the delivery of appropriate services through quality providers. The Company continues to expand its product portfolio 
beyond diagnostic imaging with customer-focused solutions in new areas of medical management including radiation 
oncology therapy management, cardiac management, obstetrical ultrasound management, musculoskeletal management 
and other relevant areas. Through the government division of its Healthcare segment, the Company seeks to help federal, 
state and local governments deal with their fiscal pressures resulting from increasing Medicaid enrollment and rising 
behavioral healthcare costs. Across the Healthcare segment, the Company intends to continue marketing both its 
risk-based and ASO products, as well as new products, to its existing customer base and new customers, expand 
membership with current customers, upsell additional products to existing customers, and to cross-sell services to its 
Pharmacy Management segment customer base. 

Customer Contracts 

The Company’s contracts with customers typically have terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain 

renewal provisions (at the customer’s option) for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated 
earlier). Substantially all of these contracts may be immediately terminated with cause and many of the Company’s 
contracts are terminable without cause by the customer or the Company either upon the giving of requisite notice and the 
passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days) or upon the occurrence of other specified 
events. In addition, the Company’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies generally are 
conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if 
such appropriations are not made. The Company’s contracts for managed healthcare and specialty solutions services 
generally provide for payment of a per member per month fee to the Company. See “Risk Factors—Risk-Based 
Products” and “—Reliance on Customer Contracts.” 

The Company provides behavioral healthcare management and other related services to members in the state of 

Florida pursuant to contracts with the State of Florida (the “Florida Contracts”). The Florida Contracts generated net 
revenues that exceeded, in aggregate, ten percent of net revenues for the consolidated Company for the years ended 
December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Through December 31, 2015, the Company provided behavioral healthcare 
management and other related services to members in the state of Iowa pursuant to contracts with the State of Iowa (the 
“Iowa Contracts”). The Iowa Contracts generated net revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate, ten percent of net 
revenues for the consolidated Company for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Iowa Contracts terminated on 
December 31, 2015.  

The Company also has significant concentrations of business with various counties in the State of Pennsylvania 

(the “Pennsylvania Counties”) which are part of the Pennsylvania Medicaid Program, with members under its contract 
with CMS, and with various agencies and departments of the United States federal government. See further discussion 
related to these significant customers in “Risk Factors—Reliance on Customer Contracts.” In addition, see “Risk 
Factors—Dependence on Government Spending” for discussion of risks to the Company related to government 
contracts. 

Provider Network 

The Company’s managed behavioral healthcare services, integrated healthcare services and EAP treatment 

services are provided by a contracted network of third-party providers, including physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, 
other behavioral and physical health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds, 
residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. The number and type of providers in a particular area depend 
upon customer preference, site, geographic concentration and demographic composition of the beneficiary population in 
that area. The Company’s network consists of approximately 175,000 healthcare providers, including facility locations, 
providing various levels of care nationwide. The Company’s network providers are almost exclusively independent 
contractors located throughout the local areas in which the Company’s customers’ beneficiary populations reside. 
Outpatient network providers work out of their own offices, although the Company’s personnel are available to assist 
them with consultation and other needs. 

Non-facility network providers include both individual practitioners, as well as individuals who are members of 

group practices or other licensed centers or programs. Non-facility network providers typically execute standard 
contracts with the Company under which they are generally paid on a fee-for-service basis. 

5 

Third-party network facilities include inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, intensive outpatient 

facilities, partial hospitalization facilities, community health centers and other community-based facilities, rehabilitative 
and support facilities and other intermediate care and alternative care facilities or programs. This variety of facilities 
enables the Company to offer patients a full continuum of care and to refer patients to the most appropriate facility or 
program within that continuum. Typically, the Company contracts with facilities on a per diem or fee-for-service basis 
and, in some limited cases, on a “case rate” or capitated basis. The contracts between the Company and inpatient and 
other facilities typically are for one-year terms and are terminable by the Company or the facility upon 30 to 120 days 
notice. 

The Company’s radiology benefits management (“RBM”) services are provided by a network of providers 

including diagnostic imaging centers, radiology departments of hospitals that provide advanced imaging services on an 
outpatient basis, and individual physicians or physician groups that own advanced imaging equipment and specialize in 
certain specific areas of care. Certain providers belong to the Company’s network, while others are members of networks 
belonging to the Company’s customers. These providers are paid on a fee-for-service basis. 

Competition 

The Company’s business is highly competitive. The Company competes with other healthcare organizations as 

well as with insurance companies, including health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), preferred provider 
organizations (“PPOs”), TPAs, independent practitioner associations (“IPAs”), multi-disciplinary medical groups, 
PBMs, healthcare information technology companies, and other specialty healthcare and managed care companies. Many 
of the Company’s competitors, particularly certain insurance companies, HMOs, technology companies, and PBMs are 
significantly larger and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, and some of the 
Company’s competitors provide a broader range of services. The Company competes based upon quality and reliability 
of its services, a focus on clinical excellence, product and service innovation and proven expertise across its business 
lines. The Company may also encounter competition in the future from new market entrants. In addition, some of the 
Company’s customers that are managed care companies may seek to provide specialty managed healthcare services 
directly to their subscribers, rather than by contracting with the Company for such services. Because of these factors, the 
Company does not expect to be able to rely to a significant degree on price increases to achieve revenue growth, and 
expects to continue experiencing pricing pressures. 

Insurance 

The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage for a broad range of risks in its business. The 

Company has renewed its general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers 
for a one-year period from June 17, 2016 to June 17, 2017. The general liability policy is written on an “occurrence” 
basis, subject to a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability and managed 
care errors and omissions liability policies are written on a “claims-made” basis, subject to a $1.0 million per claim 
($10.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care errors and omissions 
liability, and a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for professional liability. 

The Company maintains a separate general and professional liability insurance policy with an unaffiliated 
insurer for its specialty pharmaceutical dispensing operations. The specialty pharmaceutical dispensing operations 
insurance policy has a one-year term for the period June 17, 2016 to June 17, 2017. The general liability policy is written 
on an “occurrence” basis and the professional liability policy is written on a “claims-made” basis, subject to a 
$0.05 million per claim and $0.25 million aggregated self-insured retention. 

The Company is responsible for claims within its self-insured retentions, and for portions of claims reported 

after the expiration date of the policies if they are not renewed, or if policy limits are exceeded. The Company also 
purchases excess liability coverage in an amount that management believes to be reasonable for the size and profile of 
the organization. 

See “Risk Factors—Professional Liability and Other Insurance,” for a discussion of the risks associated with the 

Company’s insurance coverage.

Regulation 

General 

The Company’s operations are subject to extensive and evolving state and federal laws and regulation in the 

jurisdictions in which we do business. This includes applicable federal and state laws and regulations in connection with 
its role in providing pharmacy benefit management; behavioral health benefit management; radiology benefit 
management; utilization review; customer employee benefit plan services; pharmacy; healthcare services; Medicaid; 
Medicare; health insurance, and laws and regulations impacting its federal government contracts. The Company believes 
its operations are structured to comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that it has 
obtained all licenses and approvals that are material to the operation of its business. However, regulation of the 
healthcare industry is constantly evolving, with new legislative enactments and regulatory initiatives at the state and 
federal levels being implemented on a regular basis. Consequently, it is possible that a court or regulatory agency may 
take a position under existing or future laws or regulations, or as a result of a change in the interpretation thereof that 
such laws or regulations apply to the Company in a different manner than the Company believes such laws or regulations 
apply. In addition, existing laws and regulations may be repealed or modified. Such changes may require significant 
alterations to the Company’s business operations in order to comply with such laws or regulations, or interpretations 
thereof. Expansion of the Company’s business to cover additional geographic areas, to serve different types of 
customers, to provide new services or to commence new operations could also subject the Company to additional 
licensure requirements and/or regulation. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company. 

State Licensure and Regulation 

The Company is subject to certain state laws and regulations governing the licensing of insurance companies, 

HMOs, PPOs, TPAs, PBMs, pharmacies and companies engaged in utilization review. In addition, the Company is 
subject to state laws and regulations concerning the licensing of healthcare professionals, including restrictions on 
business corporations from providing, controlling or exercising excessive influence over healthcare services through the 
direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists or, in certain states, psychologists and other healthcare professionals. 
These laws and regulations vary considerably among states, and the Company may be subject to different types of laws 
and regulations depending on the specific regulatory approach adopted by each state to regulate the managed care and 
pharmaceutical management businesses and the provision of healthcare treatment services. 

Further, certain regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company possess discretionary powers when 

issuing or renewing licenses or granting approval of proposed actions such as mergers, a change in ownership, and 
certain intra-corporate transactions. One or multiple agencies may require as a condition of such license or approval that 
the Company cease or modify certain of its operations or modify the way it operates in order to comply with applicable 
regulatory requirements or policies. In addition, the time necessary to obtain a license or approval varies from state to 
state, and difficulties in obtaining a necessary license or approval may result in delays in the Company’s plans to expand 
operations in a particular state and, in some cases, lost business opportunities. 

The Company has sought and obtained licenses as a utilization review agent, single service HMO, TPA, PBM, 

Pharmacy, PPO, HMO and Health Insurance Company in one or more jurisdictions. Numerous states in which the 
Company does business have adopted regulations governing entities engaging in utilization review. Utilization review 
regulations typically impose requirements with respect to the qualifications of personnel reviewing proposed treatment, 
timeliness and notice of the review of proposed treatment and other matters. Many states also license TPA activities. 
These regulations typically impose requirements regarding claims processing and payments and the handling of customer 
funds. Some states require TPA licensure for PBM entities as a way to regulate the PBM lines of business. 

Other states regulate PBMs through a PBM specific license. The Company has obtained these licenses as 
required to support the PBM business. Certain insurance licenses are required for the Company to pursue Medicare 
Part D business; this is discussed further in the pharmacy section of this document. In some cases, single purpose HMO 
licenses are required for the Company to take risk on business in that state. Some states require PPO or other network 
licenses to offer a network of providers in the state. Almost all states require licensure for pharmacies dispensing or 
shipping medications into the state. The Company has obtained all of these necessary licenses. 

7 

To the extent that the Company operates or is deemed to operate in some states as an insurance company, 

HMO, PPO or similar entity, it may be required to comply with certain laws and regulations that, among other things, 
may require the Company to maintain certain types of assets and minimum levels of deposits, capital, surplus, reserves 
or net worth. Being licensed as an insurance company, HMO or similar entity could also subject the Company to 
regulations governing reporting and disclosure, coverage, mandated benefits, rate setting, grievances and appeals, prompt 
pay laws and other traditional insurance regulatory requirements. 

Regulators in a few states have adopted policies that require HMOs or, in some instances, insurance companies, 

to contract directly with licensed healthcare providers, entities or provider groups, such as IPAs, for the provision of 
treatment services, rather than with unlicensed intermediary companies. In such states, the Company’s customary model 
of contracting directly is modified so that, for example, the IPAs (rather than the Company) contract directly with the 
HMO or insurance company, as appropriate, for the provision of treatment services. 

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) has developed a “health organizations 
risk-based capital” formula, designed specifically for managed care organizations, that establishes a minimum amount of 
capital necessary for a managed care organization to support its overall operations, allowing consideration for the 
organization’s size and risk profile. The NAIC also adopted a model regulation in the area of health plan standards, 
which could be adopted by individual states in whole or in part, and could result in the Company being required to meet 
additional or new standards in connection with its existing operations. Certain states, for example, have adopted 
regulations based on the NAIC initiative, and as a result, the Company has been subject to certain minimum capital 
requirements in those states. Certain other states, such as Maryland, Texas, New York, Florida and New Jersey, have 
also adopted their own regulatory initiatives that subject entities, such as certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, to 
regulation under state insurance laws. This includes, but is not limited to, requiring adherence to specific financial 
solvency standards. State insurance laws and regulations may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends, make certain 
investments and repay certain indebtedness. 

Regulators may impose operational restrictions on entities granted licenses to operate as insurance companies or 

HMOs. For example, the California Department of Managed Health Care has imposed certain restrictions on the ability 
of the Company’s California subsidiaries to fund the Company’s operations in other states, to guarantee or cosign for the 
Company’s financial obligations, or to pledge or hypothecate the stock of these subsidiaries and on the Company’s 
ability to make certain operational changes with respect to these subsidiaries. In addition, regulators of certain of the 
Company’s subsidiaries may exercise certain discretionary rights under regulations including, without limitation, 
increasing its supervision of such entities or requiring additional restricted cash or other security. 

Failure to obtain and maintain required licenses typically also constitutes an event of default under the 
Company’s contracts with its customers. The loss of business from one or more of the Company’s major customers as a 
result of an event of default or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Licensure requirements 
may increase the Company’s cost of doing business in the event that compliance requires the Company to retain 
additional personnel to meet the regulatory requirements and to take other required actions and make necessary filings. 
Although compliance with licensure regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company, there can be no 
assurance that specific laws or regulations adopted in the future would not have such a result. 

The provision of healthcare treatment services by physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists and other 

providers is subject to state regulation with respect to the licensing of healthcare professionals. The Company believes 
that the healthcare professionals, who provide healthcare treatment on behalf of or under contracts with the Company, 
and the case managers and other personnel of the health services business, are in compliance with the applicable state 
licensing requirements and current interpretations thereof. Regulations imposed upon healthcare providers include but 
are not limited to, provisions relating to the conduct of, and ethical considerations involved in, the practice of medicine, 
psychiatry, psychology, social work and related behavioral healthcare professions, radiology, pharmacy, privacy, 
accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursements for patient services, Medicare, 
Medicaid, federal and state laws governing fraud, waste and abuse and, in certain cases, the common law or statutory 
duty to warn others of danger or to prevent patient self-injury or the statutory duties to report matters of abuse or neglect 
of individuals. However, there can be no assurance that changes in such requirements or interpretations thereof will not 
adversely affect the Company’s existing operations or limit expansion. 

In California, the Company’s employee assistance programs are regulated by the California Department of 

Managed Health Care. This subjects the Company to regulations governing reporting and disclosure, coverage, mandated 

8 

benefits, grievances and appeals and other traditional insurance regulatory requirements. With respect to the Company’s 
employee assistance crisis intervention program, additional licensing of clinicians who provide telephonic assessment or 
stabilization services to individuals who are calling from out-of-state may be required if such assessment or stabilization 
services are deemed by regulatory agencies to be treatment provided in the state of such individual’s residence. The 
Company believes that any such additional licenses could be obtained. 

The laws of some states limit the ability of a business corporation to directly provide, control or exercise 
excessive influence over healthcare services through the direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, or 
other healthcare professionals, who are providing direct clinical services. In addition, the laws of some states prohibit 
physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, or other healthcare professionals from splitting fees with other persons or 
entities. These laws and their interpretations vary from state to state and enforcement by the courts and regulatory 
authorities may vary from state to state and may change over time. The Company believes that its operations as currently 
conducted are in compliance with the applicable laws. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s existing 
operations and its contractual arrangements with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and other healthcare 
professionals will not be successfully challenged under state laws prohibiting fee splitting or the practice of a profession 
by an unlicensed entity, or that the enforceability of such contractual arrangements will not be limited. The Company 
believes that it could, if necessary, restructure its operations to comply with changes in the interpretation or enforcement 
of such laws and regulations, and that such restructuring would not have a material adverse effect on its operations. 

The Company has a group practice providing case management services to certain customers. The clinicians in 

the practice are licensed where they are practicing and the Company believes it has complied with all applicable state 
laws in the establishment and operation of the business. 

Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) 

Certain of the Company’s services are subject to the provisions of ERISA. ERISA governs certain aspects of the 
relationship between employer-sponsored healthcare benefit plans and certain providers of services to such plans through 
a series of complex laws and regulations that are subject to periodic interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service 
(“IRS”) and the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”). In some circumstances, and under certain customer contracts, the 
Company may be expressly named as a “fiduciary” under ERISA, or be deemed to have assumed duties that make it an 
ERISA fiduciary, and thus be required to carry out its operations in a manner that complies with ERISA in all material 
respects. In other circumstances, particularly in the administration of pharmacy benefits, the Company does not believe 
that its services are subject to the fiduciary obligations and requirements of ERISA. In addition, the DOL has not yet 
finalized guidance regarding whether discounts and other forms of remuneration from pharmaceutical manufacturers are 
required to be reported to ERISA-governed plans in connection with ERISA reporting requirements. 

Numerous states require the licensing or certification of entities performing TPA activities; however, certain 

federal courts have held that such licensing requirements are preempted by ERISA. ERISA preempts state laws that 
mandate employee benefit structures or their administration, as well as those that provide alternative enforcement 
mechanisms. The Company believes that its TPA activities performed for its self-insured employee benefit plan 
customers are exempt from otherwise applicable state licensing or registration requirements based upon federal 
preemption under ERISA and have relied on this general principle in determining not to seek licenses for certain of the 
Company’s activities in some states. Existing case law is not uniform on the applicability of ERISA preemption with 
respect to state regulation of PBM or TPA activities. In some states, the Company has licensed its self-funded pharmacy 
related business as a TPA or PBM after a review of state regulatory requirements and case law. There can be no 
assurance that additional licenses will not be required with respect to utilization review or TPA activities in certain 
states. 

Some of the state regulatory requirements described herein may be preempted in whole or in part by ERISA, 

which provides for comprehensive federal regulation of employee benefit plans. However, the scope of ERISA 
preemption is uncertain and is subject to conflicting court rulings. As a result, the Company could be subject to 
overlapping federal and state regulatory requirements with respect to certain of its operations and may need to implement 
compliance programs that satisfy multiple regulatory regimes. The Company believes that it is in compliance with 
ERISA and that such compliance does not currently have a material adverse effect on its operations. However, there can 
be no assurance that continuing ERISA compliance efforts or any future changes to ERISA will not have a material 
adverse effect on the Company.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and Other Privacy Regulation 

HIPAA requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) to adopt standards 

relating to the transmission, privacy and security of health information by healthcare providers and healthcare plans. 
Confidentiality and patient privacy requirements are particularly strict in the Company’s behavioral managed care 
business. Oversight responsibilities for HIPAA compliance are handled by the Company’s Corporate Compliance 
Department. The Company believes it is currently in compliance with the provisions of HIPAA. 

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH Act”), passed as part of 

the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, represented a significant expansion of the HIPAA privacy and 
security laws. The Company believes it is currently in compliance with the provisions of the HITECH Act and the 
associated regulations, including the January 2013 “Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Enforcement and 
Breach Notification Rules under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” Rule. The 
Company believes that it can comply with any future changes or updates in these laws and regulations; however, there 
can be no assurance that compliance with such future laws and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on 
its operations. 

HIPAA generally does not preempt state law. Therefore, because many states have privacy laws that either 
provide more stringent privacy protections than those imposed by HIPAA, the Company must address privacy issues 
under those state laws as well. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable state laws governing privacy 
and security. 

In addition to HIPAA and the HITECH Act, the Company is also subject to federal laws and regulations 
governing patient records involving substance abuse treatment, as well as other federal privacy laws and regulations. The 
Company believes that it is currently in compliance with these applicable laws and regulations. 

Fraud, Waste and Abuse Laws 

The Company is subject to federal and state laws and regulations protecting against fraud, waste and abuse. 
Fraud, waste and abuse prohibitions cover a wide range of activities, including kickbacks and other inducements for 
referral of members or the coverage of products, billing for unnecessary services by a healthcare provider and improper 
marketing. Companies involved in public healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid are required to maintain 
compliance programs to detect and deter fraud, waste and abuse, and are often subject to audits. The regulations and 
contractual requirements applicable to the Company in relation to these programs are complex and subject to change. 

The federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute (the “Anti-Kickback Statute”) prohibits, among other things, an 

entity from paying or receiving, subject to certain exceptions and “safe harbors,” any remuneration, directly or indirectly, 
to induce the referral of individuals covered by federally funded healthcare programs, or the purchase, or the arranging 
for or recommending of the purchase, of items or services for which payment may be made in whole, or in part, under 
Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE or other federally funded healthcare programs. Sanctions for violating the 
Anti-Kickback Statute may include imprisonment, criminal and civil fines and exclusion from participation in the 
federally funded healthcare programs. The Anti-Kickback Statute has been interpreted broadly by courts, the Office of 
Inspector General (“OIG”), the DHHS and other administrative bodies. 

It also is a crime under the Public Contracts Anti-Kickback Statute, for any person to knowingly and willfully 
offer or provide any remuneration to a prime contractor to the United States, including a contractor servicing federally 
funded health programs, in order to obtain favorable treatment in a subcontract. Violators of this law also may be subject 
to civil monetary penalties. There have been a series of substantial civil and criminal investigations and settlements, at 
the state and federal level, by pharmacy benefit managers over the last several years in connection with alleged kickback 
schemes. 

The federal civil monetary penalty (“CMP”) statute provides for civil monetary penalties for any person who 

provides something of value to a beneficiary covered under a federal healthcare program, such as Medicare or Medicaid, 
in order to influence the beneficiary’s choice of a provider. For example, our HMO and specialty pharmacy business are 
subject to the CMP statute. 

10 

ERISA, to which certain of our customers’ services are subject, generally prohibits any person from providing 

to a plan fiduciary a remuneration in order to affect the fiduciary’s selection of or decisions with respect to service 
providers. Unlike the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute, ERISA regulations do not provide specific safe harbors 
and its application may be unclear. 

The Federal Civil False Claims Act imposes civil penalties for knowingly making or causing to be made false 

claims with respect to governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, for services not rendered, or for 
misrepresenting actual services rendered, in order to obtain higher reimbursement. Private individuals may bring qui tam 
or whistleblower suits under the Federal Civil False Claims Act, which authorizes the payment of a portion of any 
recovery to the individual bringing suit. Further, pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), a 
violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is also a per se violation of the Federal Civil False Claims Act. The Federal Civil 
False Claims Act generally provides for the imposition of civil penalties and for treble damages, resulting in the 
possibility of substantial financial penalties for small billing discrepancies. Criminal provisions that are similar to the 
Federal Civil False Claims Act provide that a corporation may be fined if it is convicted of presenting to any federal 
agency a claim or making a statement that it knows to be false, fictitious or fraudulent. Even in situations where the 
Company does not directly provide services to beneficiaries of federally funded health programs and, accordingly, does 
not directly submit claims to the federal government, it is possible that the Company could nevertheless become involved 
in a situation where false claim issues are raised based on allegations that it caused or assisted a government contractor in 
making a false claim. 

The Company is subject to certain provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (the “Act”). The Act 

requires entities that receive $5 million or more in annual Medicaid payments to establish written policies that provide 
detailed information about the Federal Civil False Claims Act and the remedies thereunder, as well as any state laws 
pertaining to civil or criminal penalties for false claims and statements, the “whistleblower” protections afforded under 
such laws, and the role of such laws in preventing and detecting fraud, waste and abuse. On July 21, 2010, the President 
of the United States signed into law The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 
(“Dodd-Frank”). Under the law, those with independent knowledge of a financial fraud committed by a business 
required to report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading 
Commission (“CFTC”) may be entitled to a percentage of the money recovered. Included in Dodd-Frank are provisions 
which protect employees of publicly traded companies from retaliation for reporting securities fraud, fraud against 
shareholders and violation of the SEC rules/regulations. Dodd-Frank also amends the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and 
Federal Civil False Claims Act to expand their whistleblower protections. On May 25, 2011, the SEC adopted final rules 
(the “Rules”) for the expanded whistleblower program established by Dodd-Frank. The Company believes it is in 
substantial compliance with all of these laws. 

Many states have laws and/or regulations similar to the federal fraud, waste and abuse laws described above. 
Sanctions for violating these laws may include injunction, imprisonment, criminal and civil fines and exclusion from 
participation in the state Medicaid programs. The Company has a corporate compliance and ethics program, policies and 
procedures and internal controls in place designed to ensure that the Company conducts business appropriately, and the 
Company believes it is in substantial compliance with the legal requirements imposed by all of these laws and 
regulations. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under such 
laws or regulations and that any such challenge would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, 
results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. 

Mental Health Parity 

In October 2008, the United States Congress passed the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health 
Parity Act of 2008 (“MHPAEA”) establishing parity in financial requirements (e.g., co-pays, deductibles, etc.) and 
treatment limitations (e.g., limits on the number of visits) between mental health and substance abuse benefits and 
medical/surgical benefits for health plan members. This law does not require coverage for mental health or substance 
abuse disorders, but if coverage is provided it must be provided at parity. No specific disorders are mandated for 
coverage; health plans are able to define mental health and substance abuse to determine what they are going to cover. 
Under the ACA, non-grandfathered individual and small group plans (both on and off of the Health Insurance Exchange) 
are required to provide mental health and substance use disorder benefits as essential health benefits. These mandated 
benefits under the ACA must be provided at parity in these plans. Under the ACA, grandfathered individual plans are 
required to comply with parity if they offer behavioral health benefits. Grandfathered small group plans are exempt from 
requirements to provide essential health benefits and parity requirements. State mandated benefits laws are not 

11 

preempted. The law applies to ERISA plans, Medicaid managed care plans and State Children’s Health Insurance 
Program (“SCHIP”) plans. On February 2, 2010, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Labor and the 
Department of Health and Human Services issued Interim Final Rules interpreting the MHPAEA (“IFR”). The IFR 
applies to ERISA plans and insured business. A State Medicaid Director Letter was issued in January 2013 discussing 
applicability of parity to Medicaid managed care plans, SCHIP plans and Alternative Benefit (Benchmark) Plans. On 
November 13, 2013 the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human 
Services issued Final Rules on the MHPAEA (“Final Rules”). The Health Insurance Exchange regulations provide that 
plans offered on the exchange must offer behavioral health benefits that are compliant with federal parity law. The IFR 
included some concepts not included under the statute including the requirement to conduct the parity review at the 
category level within the plan, introducing the concept of non-quantitative treatment limitations, and prohibiting separate 
but equal deductibles. The Final Rules affirmed the content of the IFR with a few changes and some additional 
clarifications on the regulator’s intent. The Company believes it is in compliance with the requirements of the IFR and 
the Final Rules. In March 2016, CMS promulgated a final rule on the application of parity to Medicaid Managed Care 
Plans, CHIP, and alternative benefit plans. Compliance with this rule is required on or after October 2, 2017. On 
December 7, 2016, the Congress adopted the Twenty-First Century Cures Act, which codified some concepts in the Final 
Rules. The Company’s risk contracts do allow for repricing to occur effective the same date that any 
legislation/regulation becomes effective if that legislation/regulation is projected to have a material effect on cost of care. 

Health Care Reform 

The ACA is a broad and sweeping piece of legislation creating numerous changes in the healthcare regulatory 

environment. To date, numerous regulations implementing provisions of the ACA have been released in addition to 
many requests for information, frequently asked questions and other informational notices. Some of these regulations, 
most notably the Medical Loss Ratio regulations, the Internal Claims and Appeals and External Review Processes 
Regulations, and Health Insurance Exchanges have an impact on the Company and its business. Others, such as the 
regulation on dependent coverage to age 26 and coverage of preventative health services, could impact the nature of the 
members that we serve and the utilization rates. Medicaid expansion under the ACA has had some impact on the 
Company’s Medicaid business. The Company has customers that are participating in the state and federal Health 
Insurance Exchanges. The Company has taken necessary steps to support our customers in their administration of these 
plans. 

The ACA also contains provisions related to fees that impact the Company’s direct public sector contracts and 

provisions regarding the non-deductibility of those fees. Our state public sector customers have made rate adjustments to 
cover the direct costs of these fees and a majority of the impact from non-deductibility of such fees for federal income 
tax purposes. There may be some impact due to taxes paid for non-renewing customers where the timing and amount of 
recoupment of these additional costs is uncertain. There can be no guarantees regarding this adjustment from our state 
public sector customers and these taxes and fees may have a material impact on the Company. 

Efforts to repeal the ACA, in whole or in part, are underway in the United States Congress. On January 20, 

2017, the President issued an executive order to seek the prompt repeal of the ACA. The Company does not anticipate 
that changes to the ACA will have a material impact on its business. 

Federal and State Medicaid Laws and Regulations 

The Company directly contracts with various states to provide Medicaid services to states. In addition, the 

Company directly contracts with various states to provide Medicaid managed care services to state Medicaid 
beneficiaries. As such, it is subject to certain federal and state laws and regulations affecting Medicaid as well as state 
contractual requirements. In addition to state regulation, certain Medicaid contracts require the Company to maintain 
Medicare Advantage special needs plan status, which is regulated by CMS. The Company believes it is in compliance 
with these laws, regulations and contractual requirements. 

The Company also is a sub-contractor to health plans that provide Medicaid managed care services to state 

Medicaid beneficiaries. In the Company’s capacity as a subcontractor with these health plans, the Company is indirectly 
subject to certain federal and state laws and regulations as well as contractual requirements pertaining to the operation of 
this business. If a state or a health plan customer determines that the Company has not performed satisfactorily as a 
subcontractor, the state or the health plan customer may require the Company to cease these activities or responsibilities 
under the subcontract. While the Company believes that it provides satisfactory levels of service under its respective 

12 

subcontracts, the Company can give no assurances that a state or health plan will not terminate the Company’s business 
relationships insofar as they pertain to these services. 

On May 6, 2016, CMS published final regulations that significantly modified the existing federal Medicaid 

Managed Care and the SCHIP regulations. According to the issuing agency, the goals of the revised rule are to “support 
State efforts to advance delivery system reform and improve the quality of care; to strengthen the beneficiary experience 
of care and key beneficiary protections; to strengthen program integrity by improving accountability and transparency; 
and to align key Medicaid and CHIP managed care requirements with other health coverage programs.”  The Company 
believes that it will be able to materially comply with all applicable provisions.  

In connection with its PBM business, the Company negotiates rebates with and provides services for drug 

manufacturers. The manufacturers are subject to Medicaid “best price” regulations requiring essentially that the 
manufacturer provide its deepest level of discounts to the Medicaid program. In some instances, the government has 
challenged a manufacturer’s calculation of best price and we cannot be certain what effect, if any, the outcome of any 
such investigation or proceeding will have on our ability to negotiate favorable terms. 

Medicare Laws and Regulations 

The Company is contracted with CMS as a Medicare Advantage Organization (“MAO”) and Prescription Drug 

Plan (“PDP”) to provide health services and prescription drug benefits to Medicare beneficiaries. The regulations and 
contractual requirements applicable to the Company and other participants in Medicare programs are complex and 
subject to change. CMS regularly audits its contractors’ performance to determine compliance with contracts and CMS 
regulations, and to assess the quality of services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The Company believes it 
substantially complies with all applicable federal laws, regulations and contractual requirements. However, CMS 
penalties for noncompliance include premium refunds, prohibiting a company from continuing to market and/or enroll 
members in the company’s Medicare products, exclusion from participation in federally funded healthcare programs and 
other sanctions. 

The Company is also subcontractor to health plans that are MAOs and PDPs. In the Company’s capacity as a 

subcontractor with these health plans, the Company administers benefits to Medicare beneficiaries and is indirectly 
subject to certain federal laws and regulations as well as contractual requirements pertaining to the operation of this 
business. If the CMS or a health plan customer determines that the Company has not performed satisfactorily as a 
subcontractor, CMS or the health plan customer may require the Company to cease these activities or responsibilities 
under the subcontract. While the Company believes that it provides satisfactory levels of service under its respective 
subcontracts, the Company can give no assurances that CMS or a health plan will not terminate the Company’s business 
relationships insofar as they pertain to these services. 

CMS requires Part D Plans to report all price concessions received for PBM services. The applicable CMS 

guidance requires Part D Plans to contractually require the right to audit their PBMs as well as require full transparency 
as to manufacturer rebates and administrative fees paid for drugs or services provided in connection with the sponsor’s 
plan, including the portion of such rebates retained by the PBM. Additionally, CMS requires Part D Plans to ensure 
through their contractual arrangements with first tier, downstream and related entities (which would include PBMs) that 
CMS has access to such entities’ books and records pertaining to services performed in connection with Part D Plans. 
The CMS regulations also suggests that Part D Plans should contractually require their first tier, downstream and related 
entities to comply with certain elements of the Part D Plan’s compliance program. The Company has not experienced, 
and does not anticipate, that such disclosure and auditing requirements, to the extent required by its Part D Plan partners, 
will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business. 

The Company expects CMS and the U.S. Congress to continue to closely scrutinize each component of the 

Medicare program, modify the terms and requirements of the program and possibly seek to modify private insurers’ role. 
Therefore, it is not possible to predict the outcome of any Congressional or regulatory activity, either of which could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company. 

Other Federal and State Laws and Regulations 

Federal Laws and Regulations affecting Procurement.  The Company is subject to certain federal laws and 
regulations in connection with its contracts with the federal government. These laws and regulations affect how the 

13 

 
 
Company conducts business with its federal agency customers and may impose added costs on its business. The 
Company’s failure to comply with federal procurement laws and regulations could cause it to lose business, incur 
additional costs and subject it to a variety of civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including 
termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, harm to reputation, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or 
debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. The Company believes that it is in substantial 
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and that such compliance does not currently have a material adverse 
effect on its operations. 

The Company also provides services to various state Medicaid programs. Services procurement related to 
Medicaid programs is governed in part by federal regulations because the federal government provides a substantial 
amount of funding for the services. The Company’s state customers risk loss of federal funding if the Company is not in 
compliance with federal regulations. The Company’s non-compliance may also lead to unanticipated, negative financial 
consequences including corrective action plans or contract default risks. The Company believes it is in substantial 
compliance with various federal regulations and in compliance with contract provisions relating to the services provided 
by a commercial organization. 

Federal PBM Transparency Laws.  Pursuant to the ACA, companies may participate in state and federally run 

health insurance exchanges. The Company has contracted to provide services to certain health insurance exchange 
products offered by insurers and may be subject to certain financial transparency and disclosure requirements. The ACA 
mandates that pharmacy benefit managers provide financial transparency and reporting in connection with Medicare 
Part D plans, as well as plans offered through exchanges. In the event that the Company is determined to be subject to 
these requirements, the Company does not anticipate that such requirements will have a materially adverse effect on the 
Company’s business. 

FDA Regulation.  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) generally has authority to regulate drug 

promotional activities that are performed “by or on behalf of” a drug manufacturer. The Company provides certain 
consulting and related services to drug manufacturers and there can be no assurance that the FDA will not attempt to 
assert jurisdiction over certain aspects of the Company’s activities. The impact of future FDA regulation could materially 
adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. 

State PBM Regulation.  States continue to introduce broad legislation to regulate PBM activities. This 

legislation encompasses some of the services offered by the pharmaceutical management business of the Company. 
Legislation in this area is varied and encompasses licensing, audit provisions, submission of claims data to state all payor 
claims databases, potential fiduciary duties, pass through of cost savings and disclosure obligations, including the 
disclosure of information regarding the company’s maximum allowable cost pricing with pharmacies. In some 
circumstances, claims or inquiries against PBMs have been asserted under state consumer protection laws, which exist in 
most states. The Company has obtained licenses as necessary to support current business and future opportunities. The 
various state laws do not appear to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s pharmaceutical management 
business. However, the Company can give no assurance that these and other states will not enact legislation with more 
adverse consequences in the near future; nor can the Company be certain that future regulations or interpretations of 
existing laws will not adversely affect its business. 

State Legislation Affecting Plan or Benefit Design.  Some states have enacted legislation that prohibits certain 
types of managed care plan sponsors from implementing certain restrictive formulary and network design features, and 
many states have legislation regulating various aspects of managed care plans, including provisions relating to pharmacy 
benefits. Other states mandate coverage of certain benefits or conditions and require health plan coverage of specific 
drugs, if deemed medically necessary by the prescribing physician. Such legislation does not generally apply to the 
Company directly, but may apply to certain clients of the Company, such as HMOs and health insurers. These types of 
laws would generally have an adverse effect on the ability of a PBM to reduce cost for its plan sponsor customers. 

Prompt Pay Laws.  Under Medicare Part D and some state laws, the Company or customer may be required to 
pay network pharmacies within certain time periods and/or by electronic transfer instead of by check. The shorter time 
periods may negatively impact our cash flow. We cannot predict whether additional states will enact some form of 
prompt pay legislation. 

Legislation and Regulation Affecting Drug Prices.  Specialty pharmaceutical manufacturers generally report 

various price metrics to the federal government, including “average sales price” (“ASP”), “average manufacturer price” 

14 

(“AMP”) and “best price” (“BP”). The Company does not calculate these price metrics, but the Company notes that the 
ASP, AMP and BP methodologies may create incentives for some drug manufacturers to reduce the levels of discounts 
or rebates available to purchasers, including the Company, or their clients with respect to specialty drugs. Any changes 
in the guidance affecting pharmaceutical manufacturer price metric calculations could materially adversely affect the 
Company’s business. 

Additionally, most of the Company’s pharmacy benefit management and dispensing contracts with its 

customers use “average wholesale price” (“AWP”) as a benchmark for establishing pricing. At least one major third 
party publisher of AWP pricing data has ceased to publish such data in the past few years, and there can be no guarantee 
that AWP will continue to be an available pricing metric in the future. The discontinuance of AWP reporting by one data 
source has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and the Company expects that were 
AWP data to no longer be available, other equitable pricing measures would be available to avoid a material adverse 
impact on the Company’s business. Separately, on a monthly basis CMS publishes the National Average Drug 
Acquisition Cost (“NADAC”), a data set that purports to provide the average acquisition cost of retail drugs based on a 
nationwide voluntary survey of retail pharmacies. At this time, the Company does not anticipate that NADAC will 
materially adversely impact its operations, but it is too early to speculate what impact, if any, such a reimbursement shift 
might have in pharmacy reimbursement and/or costs in the future. 

Regulations Affecting the Company’s Pharmacies.  The Company owns five pharmacies that provide services 
primarily to members of certain of the Company’s health plan customers. The activities undertaken by the Company’s 
pharmacies subject the pharmacies to state and federal statutes and regulations governing, among other things, the 
licensure and operation of mail order and nonresident pharmacies, repackaging of drug products, stocking of prescription 
drug products and dispensing of prescription drug products, including controlled substances. The Company’s pharmacy 
facilities are located in Florida, Utah and New York and are duly licensed to conduct business in those states. Many 
states, however, require out-of-state mail order pharmacies to register with or be licensed by the state board of pharmacy 
or similar governing body when pharmaceuticals are delivered by mail into the state, and some states require that an 
out-of-state pharmacy employ a pharmacist that is licensed in the state into which pharmaceuticals are shipped. The 
Company holds mail order and nonresident pharmacy licenses where required. The Company also maintains Medicare 
and Medicaid provider licenses where required for the pharmacies to provide services to these plans. In some states the 
Company is not able to obtain Medicaid licenses to dispense because those states require that the pharmacy have a 
physical location in the state to participate in the Medicaid network. 

Regulation of Controlled Substances.  The Company’s pharmacies must register with the United States Drug 

Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) and individual state controlled substance authorities in order to dispense 
controlled substances. Federal law requires the Company to comply with the DEA’s security, recordkeeping, inventory 
control and labeling standards in order to dispense controlled substances. State controlled substance law requires 
registration and compliance with state pharmacy licensure, registration or permit standards promulgated by the state 
pharmacy licensing authority. 

Employees of the Registrant 

At December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately 9,700 full-time and part-time employees. The 

Company believes it has satisfactory relations with its employees. 

Available Information 

The Company makes its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on 

Form 8-K, amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934, and Section 16 filings available, free of charge, on the Company’s website at www.magellanhealth.com as 
soon as practicable after the Company has electronically filed such material with, or furnished it to, the SEC. The

Item 1A.  Risk Factors 

Reliance on Customer Contracts—The Company’s inability to renew, extend or replace expiring or terminated 
contracts could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, profitability and financial condition. 

Substantially all of the Company’s net revenue is derived from contracts that may be terminated immediately 
with cause and many, including some of the Company’s most significant contracts, are terminable without cause by the 
customer upon notice and the passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days), or upon the 
occurrence of certain other specified events. The Company’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 
52.2 percent, 50.0 percent and 43.9 percent of the Company’s net revenue in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 
and 2016, respectively. Loss of all of these contracts or customers would, and loss of any one of these contracts or 
customers could, materially reduce the Company’s net revenue and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s 
liquidity, profitability and financial condition. See Note 2—“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Significant 
Customers” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for a discussion of the Company’s 
significant customers. 

Integration of Companies Acquired by Magellan—The Company’s profitability could be adversely affected if the 
integration of companies acquired by Magellan is not completed in a timely and effective manner. 

One of the Company’s growth strategies is to make strategic acquisitions which are complementary to its 

existing operations. After Magellan closes on an acquisition, it must integrate the acquired company into Magellan’s 
policies, procedures and systems. Failure to effectively integrate an acquired business or the failure of the acquired 
business to perform as anticipated could result in excessive costs being incurred, a delay in obtaining targeted synergies, 
decreased customer performance (which could result in contract penalties and/or terminations), increased employee 
turnover, and lost sales opportunities. Finally, difficulties assimilating acquired operations and services could result in 
the diversion of capital and management’s attention away from other business issues and opportunities. 

Changes in the Medical Managed Care Carve-Out Industry—Certain changes in the business practices of this 
industry could negatively impact the Company’s resources, profitability and results of operations. 

A portion of the Company’s Healthcare and Pharmacy Management segments’ net revenues are derived from 

customers in the medical managed healthcare industry, including managed care companies, health insurers and other 
health plans. Some types of changes in this industry’s business practices could negatively impact the Company. For 
example, if the Company’s managed care customers seek to provide services directly to their subscribers, instead of 
contracting with the Company for such services, the Company could be adversely affected. In this regard, certain of the 
Company’s major customers in the past have not renewed all or part of their contracts with the Company, and instead 
provided managed healthcare services directly to their subscribers. In addition, the Company has a significant number of 
contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and other regional health plans. Consolidation of the healthcare industry 
through acquisitions and mergers could potentially result in the loss of contracts for the Company. Any of these changes 
could reduce the Company’s net revenue, and adversely affect the Company’s profitability and financial condition. 

Changes in the Contracting Model for Medicaid Contracts—Certain changes in the contracting model used by states 
for managed healthcare services contracts relating to Medicaid lives could negatively impact the Company’s 
resources, profitability and results of operations. 

A portion of the Company’s Healthcare segment net revenue is derived from direct contracts that it has with 

state or county governments for the provision of services to Medicaid enrollees. Certain states have recently contracted 
with managed care companies to manage both the behavioral and physical medical care of their Medicaid enrollees. If 
other governmental entities change the method for contracting for Medicaid business to a fully integrated model, the 
Company will attempt to subcontract with the managed care organizations to provide behavioral healthcare management 
for such Medicaid business; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to secure such 
arrangements. Alternatively, the Company may choose to pursue licensure as a health plan to bid on this integrated 
business. Accordingly, if such a change in the contracting model were to occur, it is possible that the Company could 
lose current contracted revenues, as well as be unable to bid on potential new business opportunities, thus negatively 
impacting the Company’s profitability and financial condition. 

16 

Risk-Based Products—Because the Company provides services at a fixed fee, if the Company is unable to maintain 
historical margins, or is unable to accurately predict and control healthcare costs, the Company’s profitability could 
decline. 

The Company derives its net revenue primarily from arrangements under which the Company assumes 
responsibility for costs of treatment in exchange for a fixed fee. The Company refers to such arrangements as “risk-based 
contracts” or “risk-based products,” which include EAP services. These arrangements provided 67.8 percent, 
58.8 percent and 49.1 percent of the Company’s net revenue in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 
respectively. 

The profitability of the Company’s risk contracts could be reduced if the Company is unable to maintain its 

historical margins. The competitive environment for the Company’s risk products could result in pricing pressures which 
cause the Company to reduce its rates. In addition, customer demands or expectations as to margin levels could cause the 
Company to reduce its rates. A reduction in risk rates which are not accompanied by a reduction in services covered or 
expected underlying care trend could result in a decrease in the Company’s operating margins. 

Profitability of the Company’s risk contracts could also be reduced if the Company is unable to accurately 

estimate the rate of service utilization by members or the cost of such services when the Company prices its services. 
The Company’s assumptions of utilization and costs when the Company prices its services may not ultimately reflect 
actual utilization rates and costs, many aspects of which are beyond the Company’s control. If the cost of services 
provided to members under a contract together with the administrative costs exceeds the aggregate fees received by the 
Company under such contract, the Company will incur a loss on the contract. 

The Company’s profitability could also be reduced if the Company is required to make adjustments to estimates 

made in reporting historical financial results regarding cost of care, reflected in the Company’s financial statements as 
medical claims payable. Medical claims payable includes reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims, which 
are claims for covered services rendered by the Company’s providers which have not yet been submitted to the Company 
for payment. The Company estimates and reserves for IBNR claims based on past claims payment experience, including 
the average interval between the date services are rendered and the date the claims are received and between the date 
services are rendered and the date claims are paid, enrollment data, utilization statistics, adjudication decisions, 
authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated into contract-specific reserve models. The 
estimates for submitted claims and IBNR claims are made on an accrual basis and adjusted in future periods as required. 
If such risk-based products are not correctly underwritten, the Company’s profitability and financial condition could be 
adversely affected. 

Factors that affect the Company’s ability to price the Company’s services, or accurately make estimates of 

IBNR claims and other expenses for which the Company creates reserves may include differences between the 
Company’s assumptions and actual results arising from, among other things:

changes in the delivery system; 

changes in utilization patterns; 

changes in the number of members seeking treatment; 

unforeseen fluctuations in claims backlogs; 

unforeseen increases in the costs of the services;

changes in benefit plan design. 

17 

Some of these factors could impact the ability of the Company to manage and control the medical costs to the 

extent assumed in the pricing of its services. 

If the Company’s membership in risk-based business continues to grow (which is a major focus of the 

Company’s strategy), the Company’s exposure to potential losses from risk-based products will also increase. 

Expansion of Risk-Based Products—Because the Company intends to continue its expansion into clinically 
integrated management of special populations eligible for Medicaid and Medicare including individuals with SMI, 
and other unique high-cost populations, if the Company is unable to accurately underwrite the healthcare cost risk 
for this new business and control associated costs, the Company’s profitability could decline. 

The Company believes that it can leverage its information systems, call center, claims and network 
infrastructure as well as its financial strength and underwriting expertise to facilitate the development of risk product 
offerings to states that include behavioral healthcare and physical medical care for their special Medicaid and dual 
eligible populations, particularly individuals with SMI. As the Company expands into new markets, the Company will 
incur start-up costs to develop and grow this business. The Company’s profitability may be negatively impacted until 
such time that sufficient business is generated to offset these start-up costs. 

Furthermore, as the Company expands into new markets, there is an increased risk associated with the 
underwriting and implementation for this business. Profitability of any such business could be adversely affected if the 
Company is unable to accurately estimate the rate of service utilization or the cost of such services when the Company 
prices its services. The Company’s assumptions of utilization and costs when the Company prices its services may not 
ultimately reflect actual utilization rates and costs, many aspects of which are beyond the Company’s control. If the cost 
of services provided to members under a contract together with the administrative costs exceeds the aggregate fees 
received by the Company under such contract, the Company will incur a loss on the contract. 

The Company may partner with managed care organizations to create joint ventures in some states. Conflicts or 
disagreements between the Company and any joint venture partner may negatively impact the benefits to be achieved by 
the relevant joint venture or may ultimately threaten the ability of any such joint venture to continue. The Company is 
also subject to additional risks and uncertainties because the Company may be dependent upon, and subject to, liability, 
losses or reputational damage relating to systems, controls and personnel that are not entirely under the Company’s 
control. 

Provider Agreements—Failure to maintain or to secure cost-effective healthcare provider contracts may result in a 
loss of membership or higher medical costs. 

The Company’s profitability depends, to an extent, upon the ability to contract favorably with certain healthcare 

providers. The Company may be unable to enter into agreements with providers in new markets on a timely basis or 
under favorable terms. If the Company is unable to retain its current provider contracts or enter into new provider 
contracts timely or on favorable terms, the Company’s profitability could be reduced. The Company cannot provide any 
assurance that it will be able to continue to renew its existing provider contracts or enter into new contracts. 

Pharmacy Management—Loss of Relationship with Providers—If we lose our relationship, or our relationship 
otherwise changes in an unfavorable manner, with one or more key pharmacy providers or if significant changes 
occur within the pharmacy provider marketplace, or if other issues arise with respect to our pharmacy networks, our 
business could be adversely affected. 

Our operations are dependent to a significant extent on our ability to obtain discounts on prescription purchases 
from retail pharmacies that can be utilized by our clients and their members. Our contracts with retail pharmacies, which 
are non-exclusive, are generally terminable by either party on short notice. If one or more of our top pharmacy chains 
elects to terminate its relationship with us, or if we are only able to continue our relationship on terms less favorable to 
us, access to retail pharmacies by our clients and their health plan members, and consequently our business, results of 
operations, financial condition or cash flows could be adversely affected. 

18 

Pharmacy Management—Loss of Relationship with Vendors—Our specialty pharmacies, pharmacy claims 
processing, and mail processing are dependent on our relationships with a limited number of vendors and suppliers 
and the loss of any of these relationships could significantly impact our ability to sustain our financial performance. 

We acquire a substantial percentage of our specialty pharmacies prescription drug supply from a limited number 
of suppliers. Our agreements with these suppliers may be short-term and cancelable by either party without cause with a 
relatively short time-frame of prior notice. These agreements may limit our ability to provide services for competing 
drugs during the term of the agreement and allow the supplier to dispense through channels other than us. Further, 
certain of these agreements allow pricing and other terms of these relationships to be periodically adjusted for changing 
market conditions or required service levels. A termination or modification to any of these relationships could have an 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. An additional risk related to supply is that 
many products dispensed by our specialty pharmacy business are manufactured with ingredients that are susceptible to 
supply shortages. If any products we dispense are in short supply for long periods of time, this could result in a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we source from a limited number of 
vendors certain aspects of our pharmacy claims and mail processing capabilities. An interruption of service, termination 
or modification to the terms to any of these agreements may adversely affect our business and financial condition. 

Pharmacy Management—Loss of Relationship with Manufacturers—If we lose relationships with one or more key 
pharmaceutical manufacturers or third party rebate administrators or if rebate payments we receive from 
pharmaceutical manufacturers and rebate processing service providers decline, our business, results of operations, 
financial condition or cash flows could be adversely affected. 

We receive fees from our clients for administering rebate programs with pharmaceutical manufacturers based 

on the use of selected drugs by members of health plans sponsored by our clients, as well as fees for other programs and 
services. Our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be adversely affected if: 

•  we lose relationships with one or more key pharmaceutical manufacturers or third party rebate 

administrators; 

•  we are unable to renew or finalize rebate contracts with one or more key pharmaceutical manufacturers in 

the future, or are unable to negotiate interim arrangements; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

rebates decline due to the failure of our health plan sponsors to meet market share or other thresholds; 

legal restrictions are imposed on the ability of pharmaceutical manufacturers to offer rebates or purchase 
our programs or services; 

pharmaceutical manufacturers choose not to offer rebates or purchase our programs or services; or 

rebates decline due to contract branded products losing their patients. 

Fluctuation in Operating Results—The Company experiences fluctuations in quarterly operating results and, as a 
consequence, the Company may fail to meet or exceed market expectations, which could cause the Company’s stock 
price to decline. 

The Company’s quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future 

due to seasonal and other factors, including: 

• 

• 

• 

changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of the Company’s risk-based contracts, including 
seasonal utilization patterns (for example, members generally tend to seek services less during the third and 
fourth quarters of the year than in the first and second quarters of the year); 

performance-based contractual adjustments to net revenue, reflecting utilization results or other 
performance measures; 

changes in estimates for contractual adjustments under commercial contracts; 

19 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

retrospective membership adjustments; 

the timing of implementation of new contracts, enrollment changes and contract terminations; 

pricing adjustments upon contract renewals; 

the timing of acquisitions; 

changes in estimates regarding medical costs and IBNR claims; 

the timing of recognition of pharmacy revenues, including rebates and Medicare Part D; and 

changes in estimates of contingent consideration. 

These factors may affect the Company’s quarterly and annual net revenue, expenses and profitability in the 
future and, accordingly, the Company may fail to meet market expectations, which could cause the Company’s stock 
price to decline. 

Dependence on Government Spending—The Company can be adversely affected by changes in federal, state and 
local healthcare policies, programs, funding and enrollments. 

A portion of the Company’s net revenues are derived, directly or indirectly, from governmental agencies, 

including state Medicaid programs. Contract rates vary from state to state, are subject to periodic negotiation and may 
limit the Company’s ability to maintain or increase rates. The Company is unable to predict the impact on the 
Company’s operations of future regulations or legislation affecting Medicaid programs, or the healthcare industry in 
general. Future regulations or legislation may have a material adverse effect on the Company. Moreover, any reduction 
in government spending for such programs could also have a material adverse effect on the Company (See “Reliance on 
Customer Contracts”). In addition, the Company’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies, under 
both direct contract and subcontract arrangements, generally are conditioned upon financial appropriations by one or 
more governmental agencies, especially in the case of state Medicaid programs. These contracts generally can be 
terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made. The Company faces increased risks in this 
regard as state budgets have come under increasing pressure due to the recent economic downturn. Finally, some of the 
Company’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies, under both direct contract and subcontract 
arrangements, require the Company to perform additional services if federal, state or local laws or regulations imposed 
after the contract is signed so require, in exchange for additional compensation, to be negotiated by the parties in good 
faith. Government and other third-party payors generally seek to impose lower contract rates and to renegotiate reduced 
contract rates with service providers in a trend toward cost control. 

Restrictive Covenants in the Company’s Debt Instruments—Restrictions imposed by the Company’s debt agreements 
limit the Company’s operating and financial flexibility. These restrictions may adversely affect the Company’s ability 
to finance the Company’s future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the 
Company’s interest. 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a $500.0 million Credit Agreement with various lenders that 
provided for Magellan Rx Management, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Health, Inc.) to borrow up to 
$250.0 million of revolving loans, with a sublimit of up to $70.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit for the 
account of the Company, and a term loan in an original aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “2014 Credit 
Facility”). On December 2, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Facility under which 
Magellan Pharmacy Services, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Health, Inc.) became a party to the 
$500.0 million Credit Agreement as the borrower and assumed all of the obligations of Magellan Rx Management, Inc. 
The 2014 Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the non-regulated subsidiaries of the Company and will 
mature on July 23, 2019, but the Company holds an option to extend the 2014 Credit Facility for an additional one year 
period.  

On June 27, 2016, the Company entered into a $200.0 million Credit Agreement with various lenders that 

provides for a $200.0 million term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) to Magellan Pharmacy Services, Inc. (the “2016 Credit 

20 

Facility”). The 2016 Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the non-regulated subsidiaries of the Company 
and will mature on December 29, 2017. 

The 2014 Credit Facility and 2016 Credit Facility (collectively the “Credit Facilities”) contain a number of 

covenants. 

These covenants limit management’s discretion in operating the Company’s business by restricting or limiting 

the Company’s ability, among other things, to: 

• 

• 

• 

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock; 

pay dividends and make other distributions; 

repurchase equity interests; 

•  make certain advances, investments and loans; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

enter into sale and leaseback transactions; 

create liens; 

sell and otherwise dispose of assets; 

acquire, merge or consolidate with another company; and 

enter into some types of transactions with affiliates. 

These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance future operations or capital needs or 

engage in other business activities that may be in the Company’s interest. The Credit Facilities also require the Company 
to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Failure to do so, unless waived by the lenders under the Credit 
Facilities, pursuant to its terms, would result in an event of default. The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by most of the 
Company’s subsidiaries and are secured by most of the Company’s assets and the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets. 

Required Assurances of Financial Resources—The Company’s liquidity, financial condition, prospects and 
profitability can be adversely affected by present or future state regulations and contractual requirements that the 
Company provide financial assurance of the Company’s ability to meet the Company’s obligations. 

Some of the Company’s contracts and certain state regulations require the Company or certain of the 

Company’s subsidiaries to maintain specified cash reserves or letters of credit and/or to maintain certain minimum 
tangible net equity in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as assurance that the Company has financial resources to 
meet the Company’s contractual obligations. Many of these state regulations also restrict the investment activity of 
certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. Some state regulations also restrict the ability of certain of the Company’s 
subsidiaries to pay dividends to Magellan. Additional state regulations could be promulgated that would increase the 
cash or other security the Company would be required to maintain. In addition, the Company’s customers may require 
additional restricted cash or other security with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Company’s contracts, 
including the Company’s obligation to pay IBNR claims and other medical claims not yet processed and paid. In 
addition, certain of the Company’s contracts and state regulations limit the profits that the Company may earn on 
risk-based business. The Company’s liquidity, financial condition, prospects and profitability could be adversely affected 
by the effects of such regulations and contractual provisions. See Note 2—“Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies—Restricted Assets” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for a discussion of the 
Company’s restricted assets. 

21 

 
Competition—The competitive environment in the managed healthcare industry may limit the Company’s ability to 
maintain or increase the Company’s rates, which would limit or adversely affect the Company’s profitability, and any 
failure in the Company’s ability to respond adequately may adversely affect the Company’s ability to maintain 
contracts or obtain new contracts. 

The Company’s business is highly competitive. The Company competes with other healthcare organizations as 

well as with insurance companies, including HMOs, PPOs, TPAs, IPAs, multi-disciplinary medical groups, PBMs, 
specialty pharmacy companies, RBM companies and other specialty healthcare and managed care companies. Many of 
the Company’s competitors, particularly certain insurance companies, HMOs and PBMs are significantly larger and have 
greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, which can create downward pressure on prices 
through economies of scale. The entrance or expansion of these larger companies in the managed healthcare industry 
(including the Company’s customers who have in-sourced or who may choose to in-source healthcare services) could 
increase the competitive pressures the Company faces and could limit the Company’s ability to maintain or increase the 
Company’s rates. If this happens, the Company’s profitability could be adversely affected. In addition, if the Company 
does not adequately respond to these competitive pressures, it could cause the Company to not be able to maintain its 
current contracts or to not be able to obtain new contracts. 

Possible Impact of Federal Healthcare Reform Law—can significantly impact the Company’s revenues or 
profitability. 

The ACA is a comprehensive piece of legislation intended to make significant changes to the healthcare system 
in the United States. The ACA contains various effective dates extending through 2020. Numerous regulations have been 
promulgated related to the ACA with hundreds more expected in the future. 

Significant provisions in the ACA include requiring individuals to purchase health insurance, minimum medical 

loss ratios for health insurance issuers, significant changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and many other 
changes that affect healthcare insurance and managed care. See “Regulation” above for more information. Therefore, it 
is uncertain at this time what the financial impact of healthcare reform will be to the Company. The Company cannot 
predict the effect of this legislation or other legislation that may be adopted by the United States Congress or by the 
states, and such legislation, if implemented, could have an adverse effect on the Company. 

The ACA also contains provisions related to fees that impact the Company’s direct public sector contracts and 
provisions regarding the non-deductibility of those fees. We believe that our state public sector customers will make rate 
adjustments to cover the direct costs of these fees and a majority of the impact from non-deductibility of such fees for 
federal income tax purposes. There may be some impact due to taxes paid for non-renewing customers where the timing 
and amount of recoupment of these additional costs is uncertain. There can be no guarantees regarding this adjustment 
from our state public sector customers and these taxes and fees may have a material impact on the Company. 

Possible Impact of Federal Mental Health Parity—can significantly impact the Company’s revenues or profitability. 

In October 2008, the United States Congress passed the Paul Wellstone and Pete Dominici Mental Health Parity 

Act of 2008 (“MHPAEA”) establishing parity in financial requirements (e.g. co-pays, deductibles, etc.) and treatment 
limitations (e.g., limits on the number of visits) between mental health and substance abuse benefits and medical/surgical 
benefits for health plan members. This law does not require coverage for mental health or substance abuse disorders but 
if coverage is provided it must be provided at parity. No specific disorders are mandated for coverage; health plans are 
able to define mental health and substance abuse to determine what they are going to cover. Under the ACA 
non-grandfathered individual and small group plans (both on and off of the exchange) are required to provide mental 
health and substance use disorder benefits as essential health benefits. These mandated benefits under the ACA must be 
provided at parity in these plans. Under the ACA, grandfathered individual plans are required to comply with parity if 
they offer behavioral health benefits. Grandfathered small group plans are exempt from requirements to provide essential 
health benefits and parity requirements. State mandated benefits laws are not preempted. The law applies to ERISA 
plans, Medicaid managed care plans and SCHIP plans. On February 2, 2010, the Department of the Treasury, the 
Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services issued Interim Final Rules interpreting the 
MHPAEA (“IFR”). The IFR applies to ERISA plans and insured business. A State Medicaid Director Letter was issued 
in January 2013 discussing applicability of parity to Medicaid managed care plans, SCHIP plans and Alternative Benefit 
(Benchmark) Plans. It is possible that some states will change their behavioral health plan benefits or management 
techniques as a result of this letter. On November 13, 2013 the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Labor and 

22 

the Department of Health and Human Services issued Final Rules on the MHPAEA (“Final Rules”). The IFR included 
some concepts not included under the statute including the requirement to conduct the parity review at the category level 
within the plan, introducing the concept of non-quantitative treatment limitations, and prohibiting separate but equal 
deductibles. While some of the regulatory requirements in the IFR were not anticipated, the Company believes it is in 
compliance with the requirements of the IFR. The Company does not anticipate any significant impacts from the Final 
Rules however it is still reviewing and assessing the Final Rules with customers. The Company’s risk contracts do allow 
for repricing to occur effective the same date that any legislation/regulation becomes effective if that 
legislation/regulation is projected to have a material effect on cost of care. 

Government Regulation—The Company is subject to substantial government regulation and scrutiny, which increase 
the Company’s costs of doing business and could adversely affect the Company’s profitability. 

The managed healthcare industry is subject to extensive and evolving federal and state regulation. Such laws 
and regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program 
participation requirements, information privacy and security, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and 
Medicaid fraud and abuse. The Company’s pharmaceutical management business is also the subject of substantial federal 
and state governmental regulation and scrutiny. Government investigations and allegations have become more frequent 
concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and regulations by healthcare organizations. 
Violators may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subject to fines or penalties or 
required to repay amounts received from the government for previously billed services. A violation of such laws and 
regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company. 

The Company is subject to certain state laws and regulations and federal laws as a result of the Company’s role 

in management of customers’ employee benefit plans. 

Regulatory issues may also affect the Company’s operations including, but not limited to: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

additional state licenses that may be required to conduct the Company’s businesses, including utilization 
review, PBM, pharmacy, HMO and TPA activities; 

limits imposed by state authorities upon corporations’ control or excessive influence over managed 
healthcare services through the direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists or other 
professionals, and prohibiting fee splitting; 

laws that impose financial terms and requirements on the Company due to the Company’s assumption of 
risk under contracts with licensed insurance companies or HMOs; 

laws in certain states that impose an obligation to contract with any healthcare provider willing to meet the 
terms of the Company’s contracts with similar providers; 

compliance with HIPAA (including the federal HITECH Act, which strengthens and expands HIPAA) and 
other federal and state laws impacting the confidentiality of member information; 

state legislation regulating PBMs or imposing fiduciary status on PBMs; 

pharmacy laws and regulation; 

legislation imposing benefit plan design restrictions, which limit how our clients can design their drug 
benefit plans; and 

network pharmacy access laws, including “any willing provider” and “due process” legislation, that affect 
aspects of our pharmacy network contracts. 

The imposition of additional licensing and other regulatory requirements may, among other things, increase the 

Company’s equity requirements, increase the cost of doing business or force significant changes in the Company’s 
operations to comply with these requirements. 

23 

The costs associated with compliance with government regulation as discussed above may adversely affect the 

Company’s financial condition and results of operation. 

Medicare Part D—The Company’s participation in Medicare Part D is subject to government regulation and failure 
to comply with regulatory requirements could adversely impact the Company’s profitability. 

There are many uncertainties about the financial and regulatory risks of participating in the Medicare Part D 

program, and we can give no assurance these risks will not materially adversely impact the Company’s results. Certain of 
the Company’s subsidiaries have been approved by CMS to offer Medicare Part D prescription drug plans to individual 
beneficiaries and employer groups. Such subsidiaries are required to comply with Medicare Part D laws and regulations 
and, because CMS requires that Medicare Part D sponsors be licensed as risk-bearing entities, also with applicable state 
laws and regulations regarding the business of insurance. The Company also provides services in support of our clients’ 
Medicare Part D plans and must be able to deliver such services in a manner that complies with applicable regulatory 
requirements. We have made substantial investments in both human resources and the technology required to administer 
Medicare Part D benefits. The adoption of new or more complex regulatory requirements or changes in the interpretation 
of existing regulatory requirements associated with Medicare Part D may require us to incur significant costs or 
otherwise impact our ability to earn a profit on such business. In addition, the Company’s receipt of federal funds made 
available through the Medicare Part D program is subject to compliance with the laws and regulations governing the 
federal government’s payment for healthcare goods and services, including the federal anti-kickback law and false 
claims acts. If we fail to comply materially with applicable regulatory or contractual requirements, whether identified 
through CMS or other government audits, client audits, or otherwise, we may be subject to certain sanctions, penalties, 
or other remedies, including, but not limited to, suspension of marketing or enrollment activities, restrictions on 
expanding our service area, civil monetary penalties or other monetary amounts, termination of our contract(s) with CMS 
or Part D clients, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs. 

The Company faces risks related to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential member and other 
information. 

As part of its normal operations, the Company collects, processes and retains confidential member information 
making the Company subject to various federal and state laws and rules regarding the use and disclosure of confidential 
member information, including HIPAA. The Company also maintains other confidential information related to its 
business and operations. Despite appropriate security measures, the Company may be vulnerable to security breaches, 
acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors or other similar events. 
Noncompliance with any privacy or security laws and regulations or any security breach, whether by the Company or by 
its vendors, could result in enforcement actions, material fines and penalties and could also subject the Company to 
litigation. 

Cyber-Security—The Company faces risks related to a breach or failure in our operational security systems or 
infrastructure, or those of third parties with which we do business. 

Our business requires us to securely store, process and transmit confidential, proprietary and other information 

in our operations. Security breaches may arise from computer hackers penetrating our systems to obtain personal 
information for financial gain, attempting to cause harm to our operations, or intending to obtain competitive 
information. Our systems are also subject to the attack of viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs. We 
maintain a comprehensive system of preventive and detective controls through our security programs; however, our 
prevention and detection controls may not prevent or identify all such attacks. A breach or failure in our operational 
security systems may adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. 

The Company faces additional regulatory risks associated with its Pharmacy Management segment which could 
subject it to additional regulatory scrutiny and liability and which could adversely affect the profitability of the 
Pharmacy Management segment in the future. 

Various aspects of the Company’s Pharmacy Management segment are governed by federal and state laws and 
regulations. Pharmaceutical management services are provided by the Company to Medicaid and Medicare plans as well 
as commercial insurance plans. There has been enhanced scrutiny on federal programs and the Company must remain 
vigilant in ensuring compliance with the requirements of these programs. In addition, there are provisions of the ACA 
which may impact the Company’s business. For example, the ACA imposes new transparency requirements on PBMs, 

24 

and CMS issued a final rule implementing these requirements in April 2012. PBMs have also increasingly become the 
target of federal and state litigation over alleged practices relating to prescription drug switching, soliciting, and 
receiving unlawful remuneration, handling rebates, and fiduciary duties, among others. Significant sanctions may be 
imposed for violations of these laws and compliance programs are a significant operational requirement of the 
Company’s business. There are significant uncertainties involving the application of many of these legal requirements to 
the Company. Accordingly, the Company may be required to incur additional administrative and compliance expenses in 
determining the applicable requirements and in adapting its compliance practices, or modifying its business practices, in 
order to satisfy changing interpretations and regulatory policies. In addition, there are numerous proposed healthcare 
laws and regulations at the federal and state levels, many of which, if adopted, could adversely affect the Company’s 
business. See “Regulation” above. 

Risks Related to Realization of Goodwill and Intangible Assets—The Company’s profitability could be adversely 
affected if the value of intangible assets is not fully realized. 

The Company’s total assets at December 31, 2016 reflect goodwill of approximately $742.1 million, 

representing approximately 30.4 percent of total assets. The Company completed its annual impairment analysis of 
goodwill as of October 1, 2016, noting that no impairment was identified. 

At December 31, 2016, identifiable intangible assets (customer lists, contracts and provider networks) totaled 
approximately $186.2 million. Intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range 
from approximately one to eighteen years. The amortization periods used may differ from those used by other entities. In 
addition, the Company may be required to shorten the amortization period for intangible assets in future periods based on 
changes in the Company’s business. There can be no assurance that such goodwill or intangible assets will be realizable. 

The Company evaluates, on a regular basis, whether for any reason the carrying value of the Company’s 
intangible assets and other long-lived assets may no longer be completely recoverable, in which case a charge to earnings 
for impairment losses could become necessary. When events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying 
amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets other 
than goodwill by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the future cash flows 
expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. 

Any event or change in circumstances leading to a future determination requiring write-off of a significant 

portion of unamortized intangible assets or goodwill would adversely affect the Company’s profitability. 

Claims for Professional Liability—Pending or future actions or claims for professional liability (including any 
associated judgments, settlements, legal fees and other costs) could require the Company to make significant cash 
expenditures and consume significant management time and resources, which could have a material adverse effect 
on the Company’s profitability and financial condition. 

The Company’s operating activities entail significant risks of liability. In recent years, participants in the 

healthcare industry generally, as well as the managed healthcare industry, have become subject to an increasing number 
of lawsuits. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims of professional liability alleging 
negligence in performing utilization review and other managed healthcare activities, as well as for the acts or omissions 
of the Company’s employees, including employed physicians and other clinicians, network providers, pharmacists, or 
others. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents 
involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, 
professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company, the Company’s employees or the 
Company’s network providers. The Company is also subject to actions and claims for the costs of services for which 
payment was denied. Many of these actions and claims seek substantial damages and require the Company to incur 
significant fees and costs related to the Company’s defense and consume significant management time and resources. 
While the Company maintains professional liability insurance, there can be no assurance that future actions or claims for 
professional liability (including any judgments, settlements or costs associated therewith) will not have a material 
adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and financial condition. 

25 

Professional Liability and Other Insurance—Claims brought against the Company that exceed the scope of the 
Company’s liability coverage or denial of coverage could materially and adversely affect the Company’s profitability 
and financial condition. 

The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage against a broad range of risks in the Company’s 

business. As part of this program of insurance, the Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain 
deductibles and self-insured retentions. The Company also is sometimes required by customer contracts to post surety 
bonds with respect to the Company’s potential liability on professional responsibility claims that may be asserted in 
connection with services the Company provides. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately 
$73.9 million of such bonds outstanding. The Company’s insurance may not be sufficient to cover any judgments, 
settlements or costs relating to present or future claims, suits or complaints. Upon expiration of the Company’s insurance 
policies, sufficient insurance may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent the Company’s customers 
are entitled to indemnification under their contracts with the Company relating to liabilities they incur arising from the 
operation of the Company’s programs, such indemnification may not be covered under the Company’s insurance 
policies. To the extent that certain actions and claims seek punitive and compensatory damages arising from the 
Company’s alleged intentional misconduct, such damages, if awarded, may not be covered, in whole or in part, by the 
Company’s insurance policies. If the Company is unable to secure adequate insurance in the future, or if the insurance 
the Company carries is not sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future 
actions or claims, such judgments, settlements or costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s 
profitability and financial condition. If the Company is unable to obtain needed surety bonds in adequate amounts or 
make alternative arrangements to satisfy the requirements for such bonds, the Company may no longer be able to operate 
in those states, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company. 

Class Action Suits and Other Legal Proceedings—The Company is subject to class action and other lawsuits that 
could result in material liabilities to the Company or cause the Company to incur material costs, to change the 
Company’s operating procedures in ways that increase costs or to comply with additional regulatory requirements. 

Managed healthcare companies and PBM companies have been targeted as defendants in national class action 
lawsuits regarding their business practices. The Company has in the past been subject to such national class actions as 
defendants and is also subject to or a party to other class actions, lawsuits and legal proceedings in conducting the 
Company’s business. In addition, certain of the Company’s customers are parties to pending class action lawsuits 
regarding the customers’ business practices for which the customers could seek indemnification from the Company. 
These lawsuits may take years to resolve and cause the Company to incur substantial litigation expense, and the 
outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability and financial condition. In addition to 
potential damage awards, depending upon the outcomes of such cases, these lawsuits may cause or force changes in 
practices of the Company’s industry and may also cause additional regulation of the industry through new federal or state 
laws or new applications of existing laws or regulations. Such changes could increase the Company’s operating costs. 

Negative Publicity—The Company may be subject to negative publicity which may adversely affect the Company’s 
business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

From time to time, the managed healthcare industry has received negative publicity. This publicity has led to 
increased legislation, regulation, review of industry practices and private litigation. These factors may adversely affect 
the Company’s ability to market our services, require the Company to change its services, or increase the overall 
regulatory burden under which the Company operates. Any of these factors may increase the costs of doing business and 
adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

Government Investigations—The Company may be subjected to additional regulatory requirements and to 
investigations or regulatory action by governmental agencies, each of which may have a material adverse effect on 
the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 

From time to time, the Company receives notifications from and engages in discussions with various 
government agencies concerning the Company’s businesses and operations. As a result of these contacts with regulators, 
the Company may, as appropriate, be required to implement changes to the Company’s operations, revise the Company’s 
filings with such agencies and/or seek additional licenses to conduct the Company’s business. The Company’s inability 
to comply with the various regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. 

26 

In addition, the Company may become subject to regulatory investigations relating to the Company’s business, 
which may result in litigation or regulatory action. A subsequent legal liability or a significant regulatory action against 
the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of 
operations. Moreover, even if the Company ultimately prevails in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, such 
litigation, regulatory action or investigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial 
condition and results of operations. 

Investment Portfolio—The value of the Company’s investments is influenced by varying economic and market 
conditions, and a decrease in value may result in a loss charged to income. 

All of the Company’s investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at fair value. The 
Company’s available-for-sale investment securities were $305.3 million and represented 12.5 percent of the Company’s 
total assets at December 31, 2016. 

The current economic environment and recent volatility of securities markets increase the difficulty of assessing 

investment impairment and the same influences tend to increase the risk of potential impairment of these assets. The 
Company believes it has adequately reviewed its investment securities for impairment and that its investment securities 
are carried at fair value. However, over time, the economic and market environment may provide additional insight 
regarding the fair value of certain securities, which could change the Company’s judgment regarding impairment. This 
could result in realized losses relating to other-than-temporary declines being charged against future income. Given the 
current market conditions and the significant judgments involved, there is a risk that declines in fair value may occur and 
material other-than-temporary impairments may be charged to income in future periods, resulting in realized losses. In 
addition, if it became necessary for the Company to liquidate its investment portfolio on an accelerated basis, it could 
have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. 

Adverse Economic Conditions—The state of the national economy and adverse changes in economic conditions could 
adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations. 

The state of the economy has negatively affected state budgets and could adversely affect the Company’s 
reimbursement from state Medicaid programs in its Healthcare segment. The state of the economy and adverse economic 
conditions could also adversely affect the Company’s customers in the Healthcare and Pharmacy Management segments 
resulting in increased pressures on the Company’s operating margins. In addition, economic conditions may result in 
decreased membership in the Healthcare and Pharmacy Management segments, thereby adversely affecting the revenues 
to the Company from such customers as well as the Company’s operating profitability. 

Adverse economic conditions in the debt markets may affect the Company’s ability to refinance the Company’s 

existing Credit Facilities upon their maturities on acceptable terms, or at all. 

Item 1B.    Unresolved Staff Comments 

None. 

Item 2.    Properties 

The Company currently leases approximately one million square feet of office space comprising 58 offices in 

29 states and the District of Columbia with terms expiring between March 31, 2017 and January 31, 2025. The 
Company’s principal executive offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona, which lease expires in October 2019. The 
Company believes that its current facilities are suitable for and adequate to support the level of its present operations. 

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings 

The Company’s operating activities entail significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is 

subject to various actions and claims arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other 
parties. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents 
involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, 
professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. Many of 

27 

these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the Company to incur 
significant fees and costs related to their defense. 

The Company is also subject to or party to certain class actions and other litigation and claims relating to its 

operations or business practices. In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded reserves that are adequate to 
cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the 
outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will 
not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be 
no assurance in this regard. 

Item 4.    Mine Safety Disclosures 

Not applicable.

Stock Repurchases 

The Company’s board of directors has previously authorized a series of stock repurchase plans. Stock 
repurchases for each such plan could be executed through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, 
accelerated share repurchases or other means. The board of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase 
transactions from time to time and in such amounts and via such methods as management deemed appropriate. Each 
stock repurchase program could be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. 

On October 26, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase plan which authorized the 

Company to purchase up to $200 million of its outstanding common stock through October 26, 2017. The Company 
made no repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 
approximately $74.8 million remaining available for future repurchases under the current plan. The Company made no 
share repurchases from January 1, 2017 through February 22, 2017.

does not expect to pay a dividend in 2017. The Company is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock under 
the terms of the Credit Facilities, except in limited circumstances. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the 
future by the Company will be subject to the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend upon

Facilities and any similar future agreement, legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors deemed relevant 
by the Company’s board of directors. Moreover, should the Company pay any dividends in the future, there can be no 
assurance that the Company will continue to pay such dividends.

Includes revenues of $51.4 million from EAP services provided on a risk basis to health plans and employers 
with 11.0 million covered lives. 

Includes revenues of $244.0 million from EAP services provided on a risk basis to federal governmental entities 
with 3.6 million covered lives. 

During 2016, Pharmacy Management paid 24.0 million adjusted commercial network claims in its PBM 

business, 72.6 million adjusted PBA claims and 0.1 million specialty dispensing claims. Adjusted claim totals apply a 
multiple of three for each 90-day and traditional mail claim. As of December 31, 2016, Pharmacy Management had a 
generic dispensing rate of 84.9 percent within its commercial PBM business and served 1.7 million commercial PBM 
members, 12.5 million members in its medical pharmacy management programs, and 26 states and the District of 
Columbia in its PBA business. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 

United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The 
Company considers the following to be its critical accounting policies and estimates: 

Managed Care and Other Revenue 

Managed Care Revenue.  Managed care revenue, inclusive of revenue from the Company’s risk, EAP and ASO 
contracts, is recognized over the applicable coverage period on a per member basis for covered members. The Company 
is paid a per member fee for all enrolled members, and this fee is recorded as revenue in the month in which members 
are entitled to service. The Company adjusts its revenue for retroactive membership terminations, additions and other 
changes, when such adjustments are identified, with the exception of retroactivity that can be reasonably estimated. The 
impact of retroactive rate amendments is generally recorded in the accounting period in which terms to the amendment 
are finalized, and that the amendment is executed. Any fees paid prior to the month of service are recorded as deferred 
revenue. Managed care revenues approximated $2.6 billion, $2.7 billion and $2.3 billion for the years ended 
December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Fee-For-Service, Fixed Fee and Cost-Plus Contracts.  The Company has certain contracts with customers under 

which the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed and as costs are incurred. This includes revenues 
received in relation to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act health insurer fee (“HIF fee”) billed on a cost 
reimbursement basis. Revenues from these contracts approximated $290.9 million, $342.0 million and $503.2 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Rebate Revenue.  The Company administers a rebate program for certain clients through which the Company 

coordinates the achievement, calculation and collection of rebates and administrative fees from pharmaceutical 
manufacturers on behalf of clients. Each period, the Company estimates the total rebates earned based on actual volumes 
of pharmaceutical purchases by the Company’s clients, as well as historical and/or anticipated sharing percentages. The 
Company earns fees based upon the volume of rebates generated for its clients. The Company does not record as rebate 
revenue any rebates that are passed through to its clients. Total rebate revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 
2015 and 2016 approximated $43.6 million, $88.7 million and $85.4 million, respectively. 

In relation to the Company’s PBM business, the Company administers rebate programs through which it 
receives rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers that are shared with its customers. The Company recognizes rebates 

33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
when the Company is entitled to them and when the amounts of the rebates are determinable. The amount recorded for 
rebates earned by the Company from the pharmaceutical manufacturers is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. 

PBM and Dispensing Revenue 

Pharmacy Benefit Management Revenue.  The Company recognizes PBM revenue, which consists of a 

negotiated prescription price (ingredient cost plus dispensing fee), co-payments collected by the pharmacy and any 
associated administrative fees, when claims are adjudicated. The Company recognizes PBM revenue on a gross basis 
(i.e. including drug costs and co-payments) as it is acting as the principal in the arrangement and is contractually 
obligated to its clients and network pharmacies, which is a primary indicator of gross reporting. In addition, the 
Company is solely responsible for the claims adjudication process, negotiating the prescription price for the pharmacy, 
collection of payments from the client for drugs dispensed by the pharmacy, and managing the total prescription drug 
relationship with the client’s members. If the Company enters into a contract where it is only an administrator, and does 
not assume any of the risks previously noted, revenue will be recognized on a net basis. PBM revenues approximated 
$575.7 million, $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Dispensing Revenue.  The Company recognizes dispensing revenue, which includes the co-payments received 

from members of the health plans the Company serves, when the specialty pharmaceutical drugs are shipped. At the time 
of shipment, the earnings process is complete; the obligation of the Company’s customer to pay for the specialty 
pharmaceutical drugs is fixed, and, due to the nature of the product, the member may neither return the specialty 
pharmaceutical drugs nor receive a refund. Revenues from the dispensing of specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of 
health plans approximated $216.0 million, $211.6 million and $221.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 
2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Medicare Part D.  The Company is contracted with CMS as a Prescription Drug Plan (“PDP”) to provide 

prescription drug benefits to Medicare beneficiaries. Net revenues include premiums earned by the PDP, which includes 
a direct premium paid by CMS and a beneficiary premium paid by the PDP member. In cases of low-income members, 
the beneficiary premium may be subsidized by CMS. The Company recognizes premium revenues on a monthly basis on 
a per member basis for covered members. In addition to these premiums, net revenues includes certain payments from 
the members based on the members’ actual prescription claims, including co-payments, coverage gap benefits, 
deductibles and co-insurance (collectively, “Member Responsibilities”). The Company receives a prospective subsidy 
payment from CMS each month to subsidize a portion of the Member Responsibilities for low-income members. If the 
prospective subsidy differs from actual prescription claims, the difference is recorded as either a receivable or payable on 
the consolidated balance sheets. The Company assumes no risk for the Member Responsibilities, including the portion 
subsidized by CMS. The Company recognizes revenues for Member Responsibilities, including the portion subsidized 
by CMS, on a gross basis as claims are adjudicated. CMS also provides an annual risk corridor adjustment which 
compares the Company’s actual drug costs incurred to the premiums received. Based on the risk corridor adjustment, the 
Company may receive additional premiums from CMS or may be required to refund CMS a portion of previously 
received premiums. The Company calculates the risk corridor adjustment on a quarterly basis and the amount is included 
in net revenues with a corresponding receivable or payable on the consolidated balance sheets. Medicare Part D revenues 
approximated $272.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, including co-payments, which are included in PBM 
revenues above, of $31.0 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $117.5 million in receivables associated 
with Medicare Part D from CMS and other parties related to this business.  

Cost of Care, Medical Claims Payable and Other Medical Liabilities 

Cost of care is recognized in the period in which members receive managed healthcare services. In addition to 

actual benefits paid, cost of care in a period also includes the impact of accruals for estimates of medical claims payable. 
Medical claims payable represents the liability for healthcare claims reported but not yet paid and claims IBNR related to 
the Company’s managed healthcare businesses. Such liabilities are determined by employing actuarial methods that are 
commonly used by health insurance actuaries and that meet actuarial standards of practice.  Cost of care for the 
Company’s EAP contracts, which are mainly with the United States federal government, pertain to the costs to employ 
licensed behavioral health counselors to deliver non-medical counseling for these contracts.   

The IBNR portion of medical claims payable is estimated based on past claims payment experience for member 

groups, enrollment data, utilization statistics, authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated 
into contract-specific actuarial reserve models and is further analyzed to create “completion factors” that represent the 

34 

average percentage of total incurred claims that have been paid through a given date after being incurred. Factors that 
affect estimated completion factors include benefit changes, enrollment changes, shifts in product mix, seasonality 
influences, provider reimbursement changes, changes in claims inventory levels, the speed of claims processing and 
changes in paid claim levels. Completion factors are applied to claims paid through the financial statement date to 
estimate the ultimate claim expense incurred for the current period. Actuarial estimates of claim liabilities are then 
determined by subtracting the actual paid claims from the estimate of the ultimate incurred claims. For the most recent 
incurred months (generally the most recent two months), the percentage of claims paid for claims incurred in those 
months is generally low. This makes the completion factor methodology less reliable for such months. Therefore, 
incurred claims for any month with a completion factor that is less than 70 percent are generally not projected from 
historical completion and payment patterns; rather they are projected by estimating claims expense based on recent 
monthly estimated cost incurred per member per month times membership, taking into account seasonality influences, 
benefit changes and healthcare trend levels, collectively considered to be “trend factors.” 

Medical claims payable balances are continually monitored and reviewed. If it is determined that the 

Company’s assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, the Company’s 
results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates 
may result in additional cost of care or a reduction of cost of care in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the 
considerable variability of healthcare costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and are sometimes 
significant as compared to the net income recorded in that period. Prior period development is recognized immediately 
upon the actuary’s judgment that a portion of the prior period liability is no longer needed or that additional liability 
should have been accrued. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims payable for the 
years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 (in thousands):

For any given period, a portion of unpaid medical claims payable could be covered by reinvestment liability 
(discussed below) and may not impact the Company’s results of operations for such periods. 

Medical claims payable is offset by customer withholds from capitation payments in situations in which the 
customer has the contractual requirement to pay providers for care incurred. 

Favorable development in 2014, 2015 and 2016 was $8.8 million, $22.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively, 
and was mainly related to lower medical trends and faster claims completion than originally assumed. 

Actuarial standards of practice require that the claim liabilities be adequate under moderately adverse 

circumstances. Adverse circumstances are situations in which the actual claims experience could be higher than the 
otherwise estimated value of such claims. In many situations, the claims paid amount experienced will be less than the 
estimate that satisfies the actuarial standards of practice. Any prior period favorable cost of care development related to a 
lack of moderately adverse conditions is excluded from “Cost of Care—Prior Years” adjustments, as a similar provision 
for moderately adverse conditions is established for current year cost of care liabilities and therefore does not generally 
impact net income.

Approximately 70 percent of IBNR dollars is based on care trend factors.

Assumes a change in the care trend factor for any month that a completion factor is not used to estimate 
incurred claims (which is generally any month that is less than 70 percent complete). 

Assumes a change in the completion factor for any month for which completion factors are used to estimate 
IBNR (which is generally any month that is 70 percent or more complete). 

Due to the existence of risk sharing and reinvestment provisions in certain customer contracts, a change in the 

estimate for medical claims payable does not necessarily result in an equivalent impact on cost of care. 

The Company believes that the amount of medical claims payable is adequate to cover its ultimate liability for 

unpaid claims as of December 31, 2016; however, actual claims payments may differ from established estimates. 

Other medical liabilities consist primarily of amounts payable to pharmacies for claims that have been 

adjudicated by the Company but not yet paid. Other medical liabilities also include “reinvestment” payables under 
certain managed healthcare contracts with Medicaid customers and “profit share” payables under certain risk-based 
contracts. Under a contract with reinvestment features, if the cost of care is less than certain minimum amounts specified 
in the contract (usually as a percentage of revenue), the Company is required to “reinvest” such difference in behavioral 
healthcare programs when and as specified by the customer or to pay the difference to the customer for their use in 
funding such programs. Under a contract with profit share provisions, if the cost of care is below certain specified levels, 
the Company will “share” the cost savings with the customer at the percentages set forth in the contract. In addition, 
certain contracts include provisions to provide the Company additional funding if the cost of care is above the specified 
levels. 

Long-lived Assets 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and definite lived intangible assets to be held and used, are 

currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may 
not be recoverable. Impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to 
management’s best estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their 
eventual disposition. The cash flow projections used to make this assessment are consistent with the cash flow 
projections that management uses internally in making key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a loss is 
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally 
determined by using quoted market prices for similar assets or the discounted present value of expected future cash 
flows. 

Goodwill 

The Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Company has 
selected October 1 as the date of its annual impairment test. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process that 

36 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the 
process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill based on various valuation techniques, 
with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires the input of various assumptions with 
respect to revenues, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. The estimated fair value for each reporting unit 
is compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit, which includes goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than 
the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair 
value” of goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s “implied fair value” of goodwill requires the Company to 
allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated 
fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to its corresponding carrying value. 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a level referred to as a reporting unit, with the Company’s reporting units 

with goodwill as of December 31, 2016 comprised of Commercial, Government and Pharmacy Management.  

The fair value of the Commercial (a component of the Healthcare segment) and Pharmacy Management 
reporting units were determined using a discounted cash flow method. This method involves estimating the present value 
of estimated future cash flows utilizing a risk adjusted discount rate. Key assumptions for this method include cash flow 
projections, terminal growth rates and discount rates.  

The fair value of the Government (a component of the Healthcare segment) reporting unit was determined using 

the discounted cash flow and guideline company methods. Key assumptions for the discounted cash flow method are 
consistent with those described above. For the guideline company method, revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, 
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples for guideline companies were applied to the reporting units pro 
forma revenue and EBITDA for 2016, which represents actual results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 
2016 and projected results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, and the reporting unit’s projected 
revenue and EBITDA for 2017. The weighting applied to the fair values determined using the discounted cash flow and 
guideline company methods to determine an overall fair value for the Government reporting unit was 75 percent and 
25 percent, respectively. The weighting of each of the methods described above was based on the relevance of the 
approach. A change in the weighting would not change the outcome of the first step of the impairment test.

Stock Compensation 

At December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had equity-based employee incentive plans, which are described 

more fully in Note 6—“Stockholders’ Equity” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. In 
addition, the Company issued restricted stock awards associated with the Partners Rx Management, LLC (“Partners 
Rx”), CDMI, LLC (“CDMI”) and AFSC acquisitions, which are described more fully in Note 6—“Stockholders’ 

37 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     
 
     
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    
 
    
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
  
Equity” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. The Company recorded stock compensation 
expense of $40.6 million, $50.4 million and $37.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 
respectively. The Company recognizes compensation costs for awards that do not contain performance conditions on a 
straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term of three years. For restricted stock 
units that include performance conditions, stock compensation is recognized using an accelerated method over the 
vesting period. 

The Company estimates the fair value of substantially all stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option 

pricing model that employs certain factors including expected volatility of stock price, expected life of the option, 
risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, such 
volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected term of the option is based on 
historical employee stock option exercise behavior and the vesting terms of the respective option. Risk-free interest rates 
are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of options, restricted stock or restricted 

stock units that are ultimately expected to vest. Therefore, estimated forfeiture rates are derived from historical employee 
termination behavior. The Company’s estimated forfeiture rates, for its various awards, for the years ended 
December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 ranged between zero and four percent. If the actual number of forfeitures differs 
from those estimated, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods. If vesting of an 
award is conditioned upon the achievement of performance goals, compensation expense during the performance period 
is estimated using the most probable outcome of the performance goals, and adjusted as the expected outcome changes. 

Income Taxes 

The Company estimates income taxes for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves 

determining both permanent and temporary differences resulting from differing treatment for tax and book purposes. 
Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the temporary differences between the financial 
reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such 
differences are recovered or settled. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be 
recovered from the reversal of temporary differences, the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies, 
and future taxable income. To the extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery is more likely than not, it 
establishes a valuation allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the 
period that includes the enactment date. 

Determination of the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable requires significant judgment and 

estimation regarding the forecasts of future taxable income which are consistent with the plans and estimates the 
Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. Although consideration is also given to potential tax planning 
strategies which might be available to improve the realization of deferred tax assets, none were identified which were 
both prudent and reasonable. Future changes in the estimated realizable portion of deferred tax assets could materially 
affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. 

The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that, based on the 

technical merits, the position will be sustained by the taxing authorities upon examination, including resolution of related 
appeals or litigation processes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s uncertain tax positions. 
Accruals for uncertain tax positions are established using the Company’s best judgment and adjustments are made, as 
warranted, due to changing facts and circumstances. The ultimate resolution of a disputed tax position following an 
examination by a taxing authority could result in a payment that is materially different from that accrued by the 
Company. 

Results of Operations 

The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those described in Note 1—“General.” The 

Company evaluates performance of its segments based on profit or loss from operations before stock compensation 
expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other income, changes in the fair value of 
contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, and 
income taxes (“Segment Profit”). Management uses Segment Profit information for internal reporting and control 
purposes and considers it important in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other resources, risk 

38 

assessment and employee compensation, among other matters. Healthcare subcontracts with Pharmacy Management to 
provide pharmacy benefits management services for certain of Healthcare’s customers. In addition, Pharmacy 
Management provides pharmacy benefits management for the Company’s employees covered under its medical plan. As 
such, revenue, cost of goods sold and direct service costs and other related to these arrangements are eliminated. The 
Company’s segments are defined above.

Non-GAAP Measures 

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP, however the Company’s management also 

assesses business performance and makes business decisions regarding the Company’s operations using certain 
non-GAAP measures. In addition to Segment Profit, as defined above, the Company also uses adjusted net income 
attributable to Magellan Health, Inc. (“Adjusted Net Income”) and adjusted net income per common share attributable to 
Magellan Health, Inc. on a diluted basis (“Adjusted EPS”). Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS reflect certain 
adjustments made for acquisitions completed after January 1, 2013 to exclude non-cash stock compensation expense 
resulting from restricted stock purchases by sellers, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of 
identified acquisition intangibles, as well as impairment of identified acquisition intangibles. The Company believes 
these non-GAAP measures provide a more useful comparison of the Company’s underlying business performance from

Year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016”) compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015”) 

Healthcare 

Net Revenue 

Net revenue related to Healthcare decreased by 10.1 percent or $299.6 million from 2015 to 2016. The decrease 

in revenue is mainly due to terminated contracts of $665.8 million, unfavorable rate changes of $58.8 million, program 
changes of $54.3 million, profit share of $8.0 million and other net decreases of $0.3 million. These decreases were 
partially offset by increased membership from existing customers of $311.4 million, revenue for AFSC acquired on July 
1, 2016 of $88.0 million, contracts implemented after (or during) 2015 of $43.1 million, revenue for TMG acquired 
February 29, 2016 of $41.8 million and favorable retroactive rate adjustments recorded in 2016 of $3.3 million.  

Cost of Care 

Cost of care decreased by 17.2 percent or $392.1 million from 2015 to 2016. The decrease in cost of care is 

primarily due to terminated contracts of $571.9 million, lower care associated with unfavorable rate changes of 
$64.2 million, program changes of $47.5 million, favorable 2015 medical claims development recorded after 2015 of 
$16.7 million, net favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2016 of $10.3 million and care trends 
and other net favorable variances of $69.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased membership from 
existing customers of $282.5 million, care costs for AFSC acquired on July 1, 2016 of $56.2 million, new contracts

implemented after (or during) 2015 of $26.4 million and favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 
2015 of $22.5 million. For our commercial contracts, cost of care as a percentage of risk revenue (excluding EAP 
business) was 82.1 percent in 2016 which was consistent with 2015. For our government contracts, cost of care 
decreased as a percentage of risk revenue (excluding EAP business) from 88.1 percent in 2015 to 81.8 percent in 2016, 
mainly due to business mix, favorable care development and favorable care trends. 

Direct Service Costs 

Direct service costs increased by 12.3 percent or $62.9 million from 2015 to 2016 primarily due to costs related 

to TMG and AFSC and a $4.8 million impairment of intangible assets, partially offset by the impact of terminated 
contracts, as well as severance and other contract termination cost of $3.8 million recorded in 2015. Direct service costs 
increased as a percentage of revenue from 17.3 percent in 2015 to 21.6 percent in 2016, mainly due to acquisitions and 
new business, partially offset by terminated contracts. 

Pharmacy Management 

Managed Care and Other Revenue 

Managed care and other revenue related to Pharmacy Management increased by 2.1 percent or $5.1 million 

from 2015 to 2016. This increase is primarily due to new contracts implemented after (or during) 2015 of $5.9 million, 
government pharmacy revenue of $3.8 million and other net favorable variances of $3.2 million. These increases were 
partially offset by decreased rebate revenue of $6.7 million and terminated contracts of $1.1 million. 

PBM and Dispensing Revenue 

PBM and dispensing revenue related to Pharmacy Management increased by 36.0 percent or $543.0 million 

from 2015 to 2016. This increase is primarily due to new contracts implemented after (or during) 2015 of $457.5 million, 
revenue for 4D acquired on April 1, 2015 of $107.5 million, pharmacy employer revenue of $89.4 million, revenue for 
Veridicus acquired on December 13, 2016 of $7.5 million and other net favorable variances of $2.4 million. These 
increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $108.5 million and net decreased dispensing activity from 
existing customers of $12.8 million. 

Cost of Goods Sold 

Cost of goods sold increased by 35.4 percent or $505.4 million from 2015 to 2016. This increase is primarily 

due to new contracts implemented after (or during) 2015 of $451.3 million, 4D acquired April 1, 2015 of $103.9 million, 
an increase in pharmacy employer of $60.4 million, Veridicus acquired on December 13, 2016 of $6.9 million and other 
net unfavorable variances of $5.6 million. These increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $107.9 million 
and net decreased dispensing activity from existing customers of $14.8 million. As a percentage of the portion of net 
revenue that relates to PBM and dispensing activity, cost of goods sold decreased from 94.5 percent in 2015 to 
94.2 percent in 2016, mainly due to business mix. 

Direct Service Costs 

Direct service costs decreased by 8.2 percent or $23.4 million from 2015 to 2016. This decrease mainly relates 

to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the CDMI and 4D acquisitions of $45.5 million in 2015 
and lower stock compensation expense of $14.6 million, which decreases were partially offset by additional costs from 
the acquisitions of 4D and Veridicus, contract implementation costs and ongoing costs to support new business. As a 
percentage of revenue, direct service costs decreased from 16.3 percent in 2015 to 11.4 percent in 2016, mainly due to an 
increase in revenue from business growth and acquisitions and the decrease in expense for fair value of contingent 
consideration and stock compensation expense. 

Corporate and Elimination 

Net expenses related to Corporate, which includes eliminations, increased by 48.6 percent or $15.2 million, 

primarily due to higher project costs, stock compensation expense and discretionary benefits in 2016. As a percentage of 
revenue, corporate and elimination increased from 0.7 percent in 2015 to 1.0 percent in 2016, mainly due to higher 

42 

project cost and discretionary benefits, partially offset by higher revenue due to acquisitions and new business. 

Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 3.1 percent or $3.2 million from 2015 to 2016, primarily 

due to asset additions after 2015 and acquisition activity. 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense increased by $3.6 million from 2015 to 2016 mainly due to an increase in interest rates and the 

amount of outstanding debt. 

Interest and Other Income 

Interest and other income increased by $0.7 million from 2015 to 2016 primarily due to higher yields. 

Income Taxes 

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 59.6 percent in 2015 and 47.9 percent in 2016. These rates differ 
from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences between book and 
tax income, and changes to recorded tax contingencies and valuation allowances. The Company also accrues interest and 
penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rate for 2016 was 
lower than 2015 mainly due to (i) improved results at AlphaCare which reduced the valuation allowance added in 2016 
compared to 2015, and (ii) a less significant impact in 2016 from the non-deductible HIF fees due to greater overall 
income. 

The statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and most state and local income taxes for 2012 

expired during 2016. As a result, $2.2 million of tax contingency reserves recorded as of December 31, 2015 were 
reversed in the current year, of which $1.5 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense and $0.7 million as 
a decrease to deferred tax assets. Additionally, $0.1 million of accrued interest was reversed in 2016 and reflected as a 
reduction to income tax expense due to the closing of statutes of limitations on tax assessments. 

The statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and most state and local income taxes for 2011 

expired during 2015. As a result, $3.1 million of tax contingency reserves recorded as of December 31, 2014 were 
reversed in 2015, of which $2.0 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense, $1.0 million as a decrease to 
deferred tax assets, and the remainder as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, $0.4 million of accrued 
interest and $0.7 million of state tax contingency reserves were reversed in 2015 and reflected as reductions to income 
tax expense due to the closing of statutes of limitations on tax assessments and the favorable settlement of state income 
tax examinations. 

2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 (“2014”) 

Healthcare 

Net Revenue 

Net revenue related to Healthcare increased by 6.4 percent or $178.3 million from 2014 to 2015. The increase in 

revenue is mainly due to increased membership from existing customers of $391.3 million, contracts implemented after 
(or during) 2014 of $157.0 million, favorable rate changes of $34.2 million, increase in net revenue recorded in relation 
to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act health insurer fee (“HIF fee”) of $8.9 million, revenue for HSM 
Physical Health, Inc. (“HSM”) acquired on January 31, 2015 of $10.0 million, increase in performance based revenue of 
$7.1 million, risk share revenue of $4.0 million and other net favorable increases of $3.1 million. These increases were 
partially offset by terminated contracts of $389.1 million, program changes of $43.2 million, customer settlements in 
2014 of $3.8 million and retroactive rate and membership adjustments recorded in 2014 of $1.2 million. 

43 

Cost of Care 

Cost of care increased by 8.8 percent or $184.4 million from 2014 to 2015. The increase in cost of care is 

primarily due to increased membership from existing customers of $365.4 million, new contracts implemented after (or 
during) 2014 of $120.2 million, higher care associated with favorable rate changes of $16.6 million, favorable prior 
period medical claims development recorded in 2014 of $8.8 million, customer settlements recorded in 2014 of 
$7.7 million, HSM acquired on January 31, 2015 of $4.4 million, care offset associated with risk share revenue of 
$2.8 million and unfavorable care trends and other net variances of $44.3 million. These increases were partially offset 
by terminated contracts of $307.5 million, program change of $35.1 million, favorable prior period medical claims 
development recorded in 2015 of $22.5 million and favorable 2014 medical claims development recorded after 2014 of 
$20.7 million. For our commercial contracts, cost of care increased as a percentage of risk revenue (excluding EAP 
business) from 76.4 percent in 2014 to 82.1 percent in 2015, mainly due to unfavorable care trends and business mix. For 
our government contracts, cost of care increased as a percentage of risk revenue (excluding EAP business) from 
87.7 percent in 2014 to 88.1 percent in 2015, mainly due to business mix. 

Direct Service Costs 

Direct service costs increased by 5.2 percent or $25.4 million from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to costs to 

support new business and development for the Magellan Complete Care product, partially offset by terminated contracts. 
Direct service costs decreased as a percentage of revenue from 17.5 percent in 2014 to 17.3 percent in 2015, mainly due 
to membership growth and new business. 

Pharmacy Management 

Managed Care and Other Revenue 

Managed care and other revenue related to Pharmacy Management increased by 16.0 percent or $32.9 million 

from 2014 to 2015. This increase is primarily due to increased rebate revenue of $33.3 million, revenue of $12.1 million 
for CDMI which was acquired on April 30, 2014 and new contracts implemented after (or during) 2014 of $7.5 million. 
These increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $18.1 million and other net decreases of $1.9 million. 

PBM and Dispensing Revenue 

PBM and dispensing revenue related to Pharmacy Management increased by 78.8 percent or $665.7 million 
from 2014 to 2015. This increase is primarily due to revenue for 4D acquired on April 1, 2015 of $368.0 million, new 
contracts implemented after (or during) 2014 of $136.2 million, an increase in pharmacy employer revenue of 
$114.3 million, an increase in pharmacy MCO revenue of $83.0 million and net increased dispensing activity from 
existing customers of $10.6 million. These increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $43.6 million and 
other net unfavorable variances of $2.8 million. 

Cost of Care 

Cost of care decreased by $16.3 million from 2014 to 2015 due to a terminated contract. 

Cost of Goods Sold 

Cost of goods sold increased by 81.9 percent or $642.9 million from 2014 to 2015. This increase is primarily 

due to 4D acquired on April 1, 2015 of $356.0 million, new contracts implemented after (or during) 2014 of 
$132.4 million, an increase in pharmacy employer of $103.2 million, pharmacy MCO of $82.6 million and net increased 
dispensing activity from existing customers of $11.9 million. These increases were partially offset by terminated 
contracts of $42.1 million and other net favorable variances of $1.1 million. As a percentage of the portion of net 
revenue that relates to PBM and dispensing activity, cost of goods sold increased from 92.9 percent in 2014 to 
94.5 percent in 2015, mainly due to business mix. 

Direct Service Costs 

Direct service costs increased by 42.3 percent or $84.8 million from 2014 to 2015. This increase mainly relates 

44 

to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the CDMI and 4D acquisitions of $39.5 million, in 
addition to additional cost from the acquisition of 4D and implementation costs and ongoing costs to support new 
business. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs decreased from 19.1 percent in 2014 to 16.3 percent in 2015, 
mainly due to the increase in revenue from business growth and acquisition activity, partially offset by the fair value of 
contingent consideration. 

Corporate and Elimination 

Net expenses related to Corporate, which includes eliminations, decreased by 19.5 percent or $7.6 million, 

primarily due to lower discretionary benefit costs and project cost in 2015. As a percentage of revenue, corporate and 
elimination decreased from 1.0 percent in 2014 to 0.7 percent in 2015, mainly due to the increase in revenue due to 
acquisitions and new business. 

Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 12.9 percent or $11.8 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily 

due to asset additions after 2014 and acquisition activity. 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense decreased by $0.8 million from 2014 to 2015, mainly due to contingent consideration expense 

for CDMI recorded in 2014, partially offset by borrowings under the 2014 Credit Facility in September 2014. 

Interest and Other Income 

Interest and other income increased by $0.9 million from 2014 to 2015, primarily due to higher yields and an 

increase in invested balances. 

Income Taxes 

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 37.0 percent in 2014 and 59.6 percent in 2015. These rates differ 
from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, permanent differences between book and 
tax income, and changes to recorded tax contingencies and valuation allowances. The Company also accrues interest and 
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rate for 2014 
was lower than 2015 mainly due to lower reversals of tax contingencies in 2015 from the closure of statutes of 
limitations and a more significant impact in 2015 from the non-deductible HIF fees due to lower overall income. 

The statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and most state and local income taxes for 2011 

expired during 2015. As a result, $3.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of December 31, 2014 were 
reversed in 2015, of which $2.0 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense, $1.0 million as a decrease to 
deferred tax assets, and the remainder as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, $0.4 million of accrued 
interest and $0.7 million of unrecognized state tax benefits were reversed in 2015 and reflected as reductions to income 
tax expense due to the closing of statutes of limitations on tax assessments and the favorable settlement of state income 
tax examinations. 

The statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and most state and local income taxes for 2010 

expired during 2014. As a result, $19.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of December 31, 2013 were 
reversed in 2014, of which $16.0 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense, $2.6 million as an increase 
to additional paid-in capital, and the remainder as a decrease to deferred tax assets. Additionally, $1.4 million of accrued 
interest was reversed in 2014 and reflected as a reduction to income tax expense due to the closing of statutes of 
limitations on tax assessments. 

Outlook—Results of Operations 

The Company’s Segment Profit and net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. 

These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors such as those set forth under Item 1A—“Risk Factors” as well as 
a variety of other factors including: (i) changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of the Company’s risk-based 

45 

contracts, including seasonal utilization patterns; (ii) contractual adjustments and settlements; (iii) retrospective 
membership adjustments; (iv) timing of implementation of new contracts, enrollment changes and contract terminations; 
(v) pricing adjustments upon contract renewals (and price competition in general); (vi) the timing of acquisitions; 
(vii) changes in estimates regarding medical costs and IBNR; (viii) the timing of recognition of pharmacy revenues, 
including rebates and Medicare Part D; and (ix) changes in the estimates of contingent consideration. 

A portion of the Company’s business is subject to rising care costs due to an increase in the number and 

frequency of covered members seeking healthcare services and higher costs of such services. Many of these factors are 
beyond the Company’s control. Future results of operations will be heavily dependent on management’s ability to obtain 
customer rate increases that are consistent with care cost increases and/or to reduce operating expenses. 

Care Trends.  The Company expects that same-store normalized cost of care trend for the 12 month forward 

outlook to be 3 to 7 percent for commercial products and 0 to 2 percent for government business. 

Interest Rate Risk.  Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on the Company’s cash equivalents 
and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facilities. 
Based on the amount of cash equivalents and investments and the borrowing levels under the Credit Facilities as of 
December 31, 2016, a hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with these instruments, 
with all other variables held constant, would not materially affect the Company’s future earnings and cash outflows. 

Historical—Liquidity and Capital Resources 

2016 compared to 2015 

Operating  Activities.    The  Company  reported net  cash  provided by  operating  activities  of  $157.5  million  and 
$66.7 million for 2015 and 2016, respectively. The $90.8 million decrease in operating cash flows from 2015 to 2016 is 
attributable  to  unfavorable  working  capital  changes  offset  by  an  increase  in  Segment  Profit  and  lower  tax  payments 
between years. 

The net unfavorable impact of working capital changes between years totaled $126.4 million. For 2015, 

operating cash flows were impacted by net unfavorable working capital changes of $54.3 million, which were largely 
attributable to timing related to receivables and payables. For 2016, operating cash flows were impacted by net 
unfavorable working capital changes of $180.7 million, which were largely attributable to contingent consideration 
payments of $91.7 million, of which $51.1 million is reflected as operating activities, working capital changes of 
approximately $113.8 million related to our Medicare Part D business, primarily receivables, and other net unfavorable 
working capital changes due to timing related to receivables and payables.   

Segment Profit for 2016 increased $26.1 million from 2015. Tax payments from 2016 totaled $54.4 million,

assets and capitalized software of $15.2 million and $45.7 million, respectively. 

The Company used net cash of $65.8 million during 2015 for the net purchase of "available-for-sale" securities,

Operating  Activities.    The  Company  reported net  cash  provided by  operating  activities  of  $189.7  million  and 
$157.5 million for 2014 and 2015, respectively. The $32.2 million decrease in operating cash flows from 2014 to 2015 is 
attributable to unfavorable working capital changes and an increase in tax payments between years, partially offset by an 
increase in Segment Profit between years. 

The net unfavorable impact of working capital changes between years totaled $34.7 million.  For 2014, 

operating cash flows were impacted by net unfavorable working capital changes of $19.5 million, which were largely 
attributable to the timing of the HIF fee activity and other net favorable working capital changes due to the timing related 
to receivables and payables. For 2015, operating cash flows were impacted by net unfavorable working capital changes 
of $54.3 million, which were largely attributable to timing related to receivables and payables.

“available for sale” securities. In 2014, the Company used net cash of $121.1 million and $7.9 million for the 
acquisitions of CDMI and Cobalt Therapeutics, LLC (“Cobalt”), respectively, with the Company using net cash of 
$42.2 million and $13.6 million for the acquisitions of 4D and HSM, respectively, in 2015. In addition, the Company 
received cash of $0.7 million in 2014 related to the settlement of working capital associated with the Partners Rx 
acquisition. 

Financing Activities.  During 2014, the Company received $250.0 million from the issuance of debt and 

$53.0 million from the exercise of stock options. In addition, the Company paid $197.5 million for the repurchase of 
treasury stock under the Company’s share repurchase program, $4.9 million on capital lease obligations and $3.1 million 
on debt obligations, and had other net unfavorable items of $1.2 million. 

During 2015, the Company paid $206.0 million for the repurchase of treasury stock under the Company’s share 
repurchase program, $12.5 million on debt obligations, and $4.5 million on capital lease obligations. The Company made 
contingent consideration payments totaling $29.3 million of which $20.8 million was related to financing activities. In 
addition, the Company received $53.5 million from the exercise of stock options and had other net favorable items of 
$4.4 million. 

Outlook—Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Liquidity 

During 2017, the Company will have estimated capital expenditures of between $65.0 million and $75.0 million. The 
Company may draw on the 2014 Credit Facility or 2017 Credit Facility (as defined in Note 13 – “Subsequent Events”) as 
required to meet working capital needs associated with the timing of receivables and payables, fund share repurchases or 
support acquisition activities. The Company currently expects to have adequate liquidity to satisfy its existing financial 
commitments over the periods in which they will become due. During 2017, scheduled principal payments of $25.0 
million will be made under the 2014 Credit Facility, and the 2016 Credit Facility and the 2017 Credit Facility will 
mature on December 29, 2017. The Company currently expects to settle its 2017 debt obligations through current 
unrestricted cash and investment balances and cash flows from operations in 2017, as well as borrowing capacity 

47 

 
 
 
 
available under the 2014 Credit Facility in the form of revolving loans.  During 2017, the Company may consider 
refinancing its debt. The Company plans to maintain its current investment strategy of investing in a diversified, high 
quality, liquid portfolio of investments and continues to closely monitor the situation in the financial markets. The 
Company estimates that it has no risk of any material permanent loss on its investment portfolio; however, there can be 
no assurance the Company will not experience any such losses in the future.

Operating lease obligations include estimated future lease payments for both open and closed offices. 

These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with 
specified terms and conditions. 

Capital lease obligations include imputed interest of $4.6 million and are net of leasehold improvement 
allowances. 

Purchase commitments include open purchase orders as of December 31, 2016 relating to ongoing capital 
expenditure and operational activities. 

The Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of the cash settlement (if any) with 
the respective taxing authorities for these contingencies. However, settlement of such amounts could require the 
utilization of working capital. See further discussion in Note 7—“Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial 
statements set forth elsewhere herein. 

The Company also has a variety of other contractual agreements related to acquiring materials and services used 

in the Company’s operations. However, the Company does not believe these other agreements contain material 
noncancelable commitments. 

Stock Repurchases 

The Company’s board of directors has previously authorized a series of stock repurchase plans. Stock 
repurchases for each such plan could be executed through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, 
accelerated share repurchases or other means. The board of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase 
transactions from time to time and in such amounts and via such methods as management deemed appropriate. Each 
stock repurchase program could be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. See Note 6—“Stockholders’ 
Equity” to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the Company’s share repurchase program. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Credit Facilities 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a $500.0 million Credit Agreement with various lenders that 
provided for Magellan Rx Management, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Health, Inc.) to borrow up to 
$250.0 million of revolving loans, with a sublimit of up to $70.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit for the 
account of the Company, and a term loan in an original aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “2014 Credit 
Facility”). At such point, the previous credit facility was terminated. On December 2, 2015, the Company entered into an 
amendment to the 2014 Credit Facility under which Magellan Pharmacy Services, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Magellan Health, Inc.) became a party to the $500.0 million Credit Agreement as the borrower and assumed all of the 
obligations of Magellan Rx Management, Inc. The 2014 Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the 
non-regulated subsidiaries of the Company and will mature on July 23, 2019, but the Company holds an option to extend 
the 2014 Credit Facility for an additional one year period.  

On June 27, 2016, the Company entered into a $200.0 million Credit Agreement with various lenders that 
provides for a $200.0 million term loan to Magellan Pharmacy Services, Inc. (the “2016 Credit Facility”). The 2016 
Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the non-regulated subsidiaries of the Company and will mature on 
December 29, 2017. 

For more information on the Company’s Credit Facilities see Note 5—“Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease 

Obligations” to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. 

Restrictive Covenants in Debt Agreements 

The Credit Facilities contains covenants that limit management’s discretion in operating the Company’s 

business by restricting or limiting the Company’s ability, among other things, to: 

• 

• 

• 

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock; 

pay dividends and make other distributions; 

repurchase equity interests; 

•  make certain advances, investments and loans; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

enter into sale and leaseback transactions; 

create liens; 

sell and otherwise dispose of assets; 

acquire, merge or consolidate with another company; and 

enter into some types of transactions with affiliates. 

These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to finance future operations or capital needs or 

engage in other business activities that may be in the Company’s interest. 

The Credit Facilities also requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Failure to do 

so, unless waived by the lenders under the Credit Facilities, pursuant to its terms, would result in an event of default 
under the Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, including 
financial covenants, under the Credit Facilities. 

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on the Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash 

and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Facilities. Based on the 

49 

Company’s investment balances, and the borrowing levels under the Credit Facilities as of December 31, 2016, a 
hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with these instruments, with all other variables 
held constant, would not materially affect the Company’s future earnings and cash outflows. 

Item 8.    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 

Information with respect to this item is contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including 
the reports of independent accountants, set forth elsewhere herein and financial statement schedule indicated in the Index 
on Page F-1 of this Report on Form 10-K, and is included herein. 

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’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and 
principal financial officers, the effectiveness 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 
December 31, 2016. Based on their evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and 
procedures were effective as of December 31, 2016. 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING 

In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls 

over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s 
internal controls over financial reporting. 

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 Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The 
Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair 
presentation of published 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. Under the supervision and with the participation of 
management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company assessed the 
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, 
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(“COSO”) in its statement “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).” 

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excludes the 

evaluation of the internal controls over reporting of AFSC and Veridicus, which were acquired on July 1, 2016 and 
December 12, 2016, respectively. These operations represent 9.4 percent and 18.5 percent of total and net assets of the 
Company as of December 31, 2016, and 2.0 percent and 7.4 percent of revenues and income before income taxes, 
respectively, of the Company for the year then ended. 

Based on this assessment, which excluded an assessment of internal control of the acquired operations of AFSC 

and Veridicus, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, internal control over financial reporting is 
effective based on these criteria. 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting. This report dated February 24, 2017 appears on page 51 of this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Magellan Health, Inc. 

We have audited Magellan Health, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Magellan Health, Inc. 
and subsidiaries’ 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 conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 

(United States). 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 included obtaining an 
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and 
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such 
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis 
for our opinion. 

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. 

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, 

management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not 
include the internal controls of Armed Forces Services Corporation or Veridicus Holdings, LLC, which are included in 
the 2016 consolidated financial statements of Magellan Health, Inc. and subsidiaries and which collectively constituted  
9.4% of total assets and 18.5% of net assets as of December 31, 2016 as well as 2.0% of revenues and 7.4%  of income 
before income taxes for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Magellan Health, 
Inc. and subsidiaries also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Armed Forces 
Services Corporation or Veridicus Holdings, LLC. 

In our opinion, Magellan Health, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal 

control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 

(United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Magellan Health, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 
2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and 
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 and our report dated February 24, 2017 
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Magellan Health, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magellan Health, Inc. and subsidiaries as of 

December 31, 2015 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in 
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. Our audits also 
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and schedule are 
the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements and schedule based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated 
financial position of Magellan Health, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and 2016, and the consolidated results 
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity 
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when 
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the 
information set forth therein. 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its statement of cash 

flows to explain the change during the period in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted equivalents as 
a result of the early adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): 
Restricted Cash” effective December 31, 2016. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 

(United States), Magellan Health, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on 
criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of 
the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 24, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion 
thereon.

MAGELLAN HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

December 31, 2016 

1. General 

Basis of Presentation 

The consolidated financial statements of Magellan Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Magellan”), include 

Magellan and its subsidiaries (together with Magellan, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Business Overview 

The Company is engaged in the healthcare management business, and is focused on managing the fastest 

growing, most complex areas of health, including special populations, complete pharmacy benefits and other specialty 
areas of healthcare. The Company develops innovative solutions that combine advanced analytics, agile technology and 
clinical excellence to drive better decision making, positively impact health outcomes and optimize the cost of care for 
the members we serve. The Company provides services to health plans and other managed care organizations (“MCOs”), 
employers, labor unions, various military and governmental agencies and third party administrators (“TPAs”). 

Healthcare 

Healthcare includes the Company’s: (i) management of behavioral healthcare services and employee assistance 

program (“EAP”) services, (ii) management of other specialty areas including diagnostic imaging and musculoskeletal 
management, and (iii) the integrated management of physical, behavioral and pharmaceutical healthcare for special 
populations, delivered through Magellan Complete Care (“MCC”). These special populations include individuals with 
serious mental illness (“SMI”), dual eligibles, long-term services and supports and other populations with unique and 
often complex healthcare needs. 

The Company’s coordination and management of these healthcare services are provided through its 

comprehensive network of medical and behavioral health professionals, clinics, hospitals and ancillary service providers. 
This network of credentialed and privileged providers is integrated with clinical and quality improvement programs to 
improve access to care and enhance the healthcare experience for individuals in need of care, while at the same time 
making the cost of these services more affordable for our customers. The Company generally does not directly provide 
or own any provider of treatment services, although it does employ licensed behavioral health counselors to deliver 
non-medical counseling under certain government contracts. 

The Healthcare segment’s commercial division serves a variety of customers, with services, inclusive of special 

population management, provided under contracts with health plans and accountable care organizations for some or all 
of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members, as well as with employers. The government division contracts 
with local, state and federal governmental agencies to provide services to recipients under Medicaid, Medicare and other 
government programs. 

The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where the Company 

assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services in exchange for a 
fixed per member per month fee and (ii) administrative services only (“ASO”) products, where the Company provides 
services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume 
responsibility for the cost of the treatment services. 

F-8 

 
Pharmacy Management 

The Pharmacy Management segment (“Pharmacy Management”) comprises products and solutions that provide 

clinical and financial management of pharmaceuticals paid under medical and pharmacy benefit programs. Pharmacy 
Management’s services include: (i) pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) services; (ii) pharmacy benefit 
administration (“PBA”) for state Medicaid and other government sponsored programs; (iii) pharmaceutical dispensing 
operations; (iv) clinical and formulary management programs; (v) medical pharmacy management programs; and 
(vi) programs for the integrated management of specialty drugs across both the medical and pharmacy benefit that treat 
complex conditions, regardless of site of service, method of delivery, or benefit reimbursement. 

Pharmacy Management’s services are provided under contracts with health plans, employers, MCOs, state 
Medicaid programs, Medicare Part D and other government agencies, and encompass risk-based and fee-for-service 
(“FFS”) arrangements. In addition, Pharmacy Management has subcontract arrangements to provide PBM services for 
certain Healthcare customers. 

Corporate 

This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of amounts not allocated to the Healthcare and Pharmacy 

Management segments that are largely associated with costs related to being a publicly traded company. In order to 
better represent the operations of the Company’s segments, effective January 1, 2016, the Company began allocating 
operational and corporate support costs to the Healthcare and Pharmacy Management segments. These costs, which were 
historically reported in the Corporate segment, include operational support functions such as sales and marketing and 
information technology, as well as corporate support functions such as executive, finance and human resources. Prior 
period balances have been reclassified to reflect this change. 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 
(“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which is a new 
comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance under GAAP. In 
March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus 
Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation 
guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”), which 
clarifies the performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance of ASU 2014-09. In July 2015, the FASB 
approved to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, 
“Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”), 
which amends various aspects of ASU 2014-09. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual and interim 
reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has identified its major revenue 
streams and is in the process of completing formal contract reviews. While the Company continues to assess all of the 
potential impacts of these ASUs, the Company does not expect implementation of these ASUs will have a significant 
impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company intends to 
adopt the new standard on a modified retrospective basis. 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): 

Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be 
Achieved After the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which revises the accounting treatment for stock 
compensation tied to performance targets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and were adopted by the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. 
The effect of this guidance was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and 
cash flows. 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern 

(Subtopic 205-40)” (“ASU 2014- 15”), which provides guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to 
evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related 

F-9 

footnote disclosures. This amendment should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. This 
ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, was adopted by the Company during the quarter 
ended December 31, 2016. The effect of this guidance was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results of 
operations, financial position and cash flows. 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 
2015-02”), which amends certain requirements for determining whether a variable interest entity must be consolidated. 
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after 
December 15, 2015 and were adopted by the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The effect of this 
guidance was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software 
(Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”), which 
provides guidance to clarify the customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments 
in this ASU are effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015 
and were adopted by the Company on a prospective basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The effect of this 
guidance was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of 

Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). The amendment under this ASU requires that an entity measure inventory at the lower of 
cost or net realizable value. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities 
beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated 
results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the 

Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”). The amendment under this ASU requires that an 
acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting 
period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and 
interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015 and were adopted by the Company during 
the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The effect of this guidance is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results of 
operations, financial position and cash flows. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU amends the 

existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance 
sheets. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after 
December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption, but 
believes the effect of this ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The Company 
is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, 
financial position and cash flows. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 

2016-09”). This ASU amends the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax 
consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. 
This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting period of public entities beginning after December 15, 2016, 
with early adoption permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be 
reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. During the quarter ended December 31, 
2016, the Company elected to early adopt this standard as of January 1, 2016. The effect of this guidance was immaterial 
to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): 

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU amends the accounting on 
reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. This guidance is 
effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption 
permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact 
this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial positions and cash flows. 

F-10 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of 

Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). This ASU makes eight targeted changes to how cash 
receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for 
annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The 
ASU is required to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented unless impractical. The 
Company is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of 
operations, financial positions and cash flows. 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted 
Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). This ASU requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in 
total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted equivalents. This guidance is effective for annual and interim 
periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is required to be 
applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, 
the Company elected to early adopt this standard. Adoption of this standard resulted in a reduction to the Company’s 
operating cash flows of $21.4 million, $81.7 million and $51.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 
2016, respectively. 

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-19, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU 2016-

19”). The amendments in this ASU cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standard Codification, including 
internal use software covered under Subtopic 350-40. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public 
entities beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the 
potential impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial positions and cash 
flows. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the 

Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). The amendments in this ASU clarify whether transactions should be 
accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for annual and interim 
periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently 
assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial 
positions and cash flows. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): 
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). The amendments in this ASU eliminate the 
requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. This guidance is 
effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption 
permitted for interim periods after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU 
will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial positions and cash flows. 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 

United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of the Company include, among 
other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and 
intangible assets, medical claims payable, other medical liabilities, contingent consideration, stock compensation 
assumptions, tax contingencies and legal liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Managed Care and Other Revenue 

Managed Care Revenue.  Managed care revenue, inclusive of revenue from the Company’s risk, EAP and ASO 
contracts, is recognized over the applicable coverage period on a per member basis for covered members. The Company 
is paid a per member fee for all enrolled members, and this fee is recorded as revenue in the month in which members 
are entitled to service. The Company adjusts its revenue for retroactive membership terminations, additions and other 
changes, when such adjustments are identified, with the exception of retroactivity that can be reasonably estimated. The 
impact of retroactive rate amendments is generally recorded in the accounting period in which terms to the amendment 
are finalized, and that the amendment is executed. Any fees paid prior to the month of service are recorded as deferred 

F-11 

revenue. Managed care revenues approximated $2.6 billion, $2.7 billion and $2.3 billion for the years ended 
December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Fee-For-Service, Fixed Fee and Cost-Plus Contracts.  The Company has certain contracts with customers under 

which the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed and as costs are incurred. This includes revenues 
recorded in relation to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act health insurer fee (“HIF fee”) billed on a cost 
reimbursement basis. Revenues from these contracts approximated $290.9 million, $342.0 million and $503.2 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Rebate Revenue.  The Company administers a rebate program for certain clients through which the Company 

coordinates the achievement, calculation and collection of rebates and administrative fees from pharmaceutical 
manufacturers on behalf of clients. Each period, the Company estimates the total rebates earned based on actual volumes 
of pharmaceutical purchases by the Company’s clients, as well as historical and/or anticipated sharing percentages. The 
Company earns fees based upon the volume of rebates generated for its clients. The Company does not record as rebate 
revenue any rebates that are passed through to its clients. Total rebate revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 
2015 and 2016 approximated $43.6 million, $88.7 million and $85.4 million, respectively. 

In relation to the Company’s PBM business, the Company administers rebate programs through which it 
receives rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers that are shared with its customers. The Company recognizes rebates 
when the Company is entitled to them and when the amounts of the rebates are determinable. The amount recorded for 
rebates earned by the Company from the pharmaceutical manufacturers is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. 

PBM and Dispensing Revenue 

Pharmacy Benefit Management Revenue.  The Company recognizes PBM revenue, which consists of a 

negotiated prescription price (ingredient cost plus dispensing fee), co-payments collected by the pharmacy and any 
associated administrative fees, when claims are adjudicated. The Company recognizes PBM revenue on a gross basis 
(i.e. including drug costs and co-payments) as it is acting as the principal in the arrangement and is contractually 
obligated to its clients and network pharmacies, which is a primary indicator of gross reporting. In addition, the 
Company is solely responsible for the claims adjudication process, negotiating the prescription price for the pharmacy, 
collection of payments from the client for drugs dispensed by the pharmacy, and managing the total prescription drug 
relationship with the client’s members. If the Company enters into a contract where it is only an administrator, and does 
not assume any of the risks previously noted, revenue will be recognized on a net basis. PBM revenues approximated 
$575.7 million, $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Dispensing Revenue.  The Company recognizes dispensing revenue, which includes the co-payments received 

from members of the health plans the Company serves, when the specialty pharmaceutical drugs are shipped. At the time 
of shipment, the earnings process is complete, the obligation of the Company’s customer to pay for the specialty 
pharmaceutical drugs is fixed, and, due to the nature of the product, the member may neither return the specialty 
pharmaceutical drugs nor receive a refund. Revenues from the dispensing of specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of 
health plans approximated $216.0 million, $211.6 million and $221.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 
2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Medicare Part D.  The Company is contracted with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) as a 

Prescription Drug Plan (“PDP”) to provide prescription drug benefits to Medicare beneficiaries. Net revenues include 
premiums earned by the PDP, which includes a direct premium paid by CMS and a beneficiary premium paid by the 
PDP member. In cases of low-income members, the beneficiary premium may be subsidized by CMS. The Company 
recognizes insurance premium revenues on a monthly basis on a per member basis for covered members. In addition to 
these premiums, net revenue includes certain payments from the members based on the members’ actual prescription 
claims, including co-payments, coverage gap benefits, deductibles and co-insurance (collectively, “Member 
Responsibilities”). The Company receives a prospective subsidy payment from CMS each month to subsidize a portion 
of the Member Responsibilities for low-income members. If the prospective subsidy differs from actual prescription 
claims, the difference is recorded as either a receivable or payable on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company 
assumes no risk for the Member Responsibilities, including the portion subsidized by CMS. The Company recognizes 
revenues for Member Responsibilities, including the portion subsidized by CMS, on a gross basis as claims are 
adjudicated. The CMS also provides an annual risk corridor adjustment which compares the Company’s actual drug 
costs incurred to the premiums received. Based on the risk corridor adjustment, the Company may receive additional 

F-12 

 
premiums from CMS or may be required to refund CMS a portion of previously received premiums. The Company 
calculates the risk corridor adjustment on a quarterly basis and the amount is included in net revenues with a 
corresponding receivable or payable on the consolidated balance sheets. Medicare Part D revenues approximated $272.8 
million for the year ended December 31, 2016, including co-payments, which are included in PBM revenues above, of 
$31.0 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $117.5 million in net receivables associated with Medicare 
Part D from CMS and other parties related to this business.  

Significant Customers 

Customers exceeding ten percent of the consolidated Company’s net revenues 

The Company provides behavioral healthcare management and other related services to members in the state of 
Florida pursuant to contracts with the State of Florida (the “Florida Contracts”). The Company had behavioral healthcare 
contracts with various areas in the State of Florida (the “Florida Areas”) which were part of the Florida Medicaid 
program. The State of Florida implemented a new system of mandated managed care through which Medicaid enrollees 
receive integrated healthcare services, and in 2014 phased out the behavioral healthcare programs under which the 
Florida Areas’ contracts operated. The Company has a contract with the State of Florida to provide integrated healthcare 
services under the new program (“the Florida Medicaid Contract”). The Florida Medicaid Contract began on February 4, 
2014 and extends through December 31, 2018, unless sooner terminated by the parties. The State of Florida has the right 
to terminate the Florida Medicaid Contract with cause, as defined, upon 24 hour notice and upon 30 days notice for any 
reason or no reason at all. The Florida Contracts generated net revenues of $253.7 million, $439.5 million and $548.7 
million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Through December 31, 2015, the Company provided behavioral healthcare management and other related 

services to members in the state of Iowa pursuant to contracts with the State of Iowa (the “Iowa Contracts”). The Iowa 
Contracts terminated on December 31, 2015. The Iowa Contracts generated net revenues of $465.0 million, $530.3 
million and $13.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Customers exceeding ten percent of segment net revenues 

In addition to the Florida Contracts and Iowa Contracts previously discussed, the following customers generated 

in excess of ten percent of net revenues for the respective segment for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 
2016 (in thousands):

A vast majority of this customer’s revenues were generated from drug acquisition costs related to PBM services 
which terminated on September 1, 2016. The Company continues to provide specialty drug formulary 
management services to the customer and is in negotiations with the customer to extend this contract. 

Concentration of Business 

The Company also has a significant concentration of business with various counties in the State of Pennsylvania 

(the “Pennsylvania Counties”) which are part of the Pennsylvania Medicaid program, with members under its contract 
with CMS and with various agencies and departments of the United States federal government. Net revenues from the 
Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled $369.9 million, $395.7 million and $461.6 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Net revenues from members in relation to its contract with CMS in

aggregate totaled $272.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Net revenues from contracts with various 
agencies and departments of the United States federal government in aggregate totaled $139.5 million, $164.3 million, 
and $252.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

The Company’s contracts with customers typically have terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain 

renewal provisions (at the customer’s option) for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated 
earlier). Substantially all of these contracts may be immediately terminated with cause and many of the Company’s 
contracts are terminable without cause by the customer or the Company either upon the giving of requisite notice and the 
passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days) or upon the occurrence of other specified 
events. In addition, the Company’s contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies generally are 
conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if 
such appropriations are not made. 

Income Taxes 

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with most of its eighty-percent or more controlled 

subsidiaries. The Company files a separate consolidated federal income tax return for AlphaCare of New York, Inc. 
(“AlphaCare”) and its parent, AlphaCare Holdings, Inc. (“AlphaCare Holdings”). The Company and its subsidiaries also 
file income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. 

The Company estimates income taxes for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves 

determining both permanent and temporary differences resulting from differing treatment for tax and book purposes. 
Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the temporary differences between the financial 
reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such 
differences are recovered or settled. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be 
recovered from the reversal of temporary differences, the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies, 
and future taxable income. To the extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery is more likely than not, it 
establishes a valuation allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the 
period that includes the enactment date. 

Reversals of both valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in the period they occur, 

typically as reductions to income tax expense. However, reversals of unrecognized tax benefits related to deductions for 
stock compensation in excess of the related book expense are recorded as reductions to deferred tax assets, although 
prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09 in 2016 were recorded as increases in additional paid-in capital.  

The Company recognizes interim period income taxes by estimating an annual effective tax rate and applying it 
to year-to-date results. The estimated annual effective tax rate is periodically updated throughout the year based on actual 
results to date and an updated projection of full year income. Although the effective tax rate approach is generally used 
for interim periods, taxes on significant, unusual and infrequent items are recognized at the statutory tax rate entirely in 
the period the amounts are realized. 

Health Care Reform 

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation 

Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Reform Law”), imposes a mandatory annual fee on health insurers for each 
calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company has obtained rate adjustments from customers which 
the Company expects will cover the direct costs of these fees and the impact from non-deductibility of such fees for 
federal and state income tax purposes. To the extent the Company has such a customer that does not renew, there may be 
some impact due to taxes paid where the timing and amount of recoupment of these additional costs is uncertain. In the 
event the Company is unable to obtain rate adjustments to cover the financial impact of the annual fee, the fee may have 
a material impact on the Company. For 2014, 2015 and 2016, the HIF fees were $21.4 million, $26.5 million and $26.5 
million, respectively, which have been paid and which are included in direct service costs and other operating expenses 
in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded revenues of $36.5 million, $45.4 million and $44.0 
million in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, associated with the accrual for the 
reimbursement of the economic impact of the HIF fees from its customers. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has a 
$13.3 million receivable related to a terminated contract that the customer has expressed their unwillingness to pay, 
however the Company believes the amount is collectible and has not established a reserve.

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid interest-bearing investments with maturity dates of three months 

or less when purchased, consisting primarily of money market instruments. At December 31, 2016, the Company’s 
excess capital and undistributed earnings for the Company’s regulated subsidiaries of $117.7 million are included in cash 
and cash equivalents. 

Restricted Assets 

The Company has certain assets which are considered restricted for: (i) the payment of claims under the terms 
of certain managed care contracts; (ii) regulatory purposes related to the payment of claims in certain jurisdictions; and 
(iii) the maintenance of minimum required tangible net equity levels for certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Fair Value Measurements 

The Company has certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. 
These assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, which are as 
follows: 

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the 

Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. 

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for 

identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable 
for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated 
by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that market 

participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information 
available, including the Company’s data. 

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the 
Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value as of December 31, 2015 and 
2016 (in thousands):

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company did not transfer any assets between fair value 

measurement levels. 

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate 

their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans of $418.8 
million as of December 31, 2016 was based on current interest rates for similar types of borrowings and is in Level 2 of 
the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could 
be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future. 

All of the Company’s investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at fair value. 

The contingent consideration liability reflects the fair value of potential future payments related to the Cobalt 

Therapeutics, LLC (“Cobalt”), 4D Pharmacy Management Systems, Inc. (“4D”), The Management Group, LLC 
(“TMG”) and Armed Forces Services Corporation (“AFSC”) acquisitions. The CDMI, LLC (“CDMI”) purchase 
agreement provided for potential contingent payments up to a maximum aggregate amount of $165.0 million. The 
potential future payments were contingent upon CDMI meeting certain client retention, client conversion and gross profit 
milestones through December 31, 2016. The CDMI contingent payments were finalized in 2016 and no future potential 
payments remain outstanding. The 4D purchase agreement provided for potential contingent payments up to a maximum 
aggregate amount of $30.0 million. The potential future payments were contingent upon the achievement of certain 
growth targets in the underlying dual eligible membership served by 4D during calendar year 2015 and the retention of 
certain business. The 4D contingent payments were finalized in 2016 and no future potential payments remain 
outstanding. The Cobalt, TMG and AFSC purchase agreements also provide for potential contingent payments of up to a 
maximum of $6.0 million, $15.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there are remaining 
potential future payments of $5.0 million, $15.0 million and $10.0 million for Cobalt, TMG and AFSC, respectively.  

As of the balance sheet date, the fair value of contingent consideration is determined based on probabilities of 

payment, projected payment dates, discount rates, projected revenues, gross profits, client base, member engagement and 
new contract execution. The projected revenues, gross profits, client base, member engagement and new contract 
execution are derived from the Company’s latest internal operational forecasts. The Company used a probability 
weighted discounted cash flow method to arrive at the fair value of the contingent consideration. Changes in the 
operational forecasts, probabilities of payment, discount rates or projected payment dates may result in a change in the 
fair value measurement. Any changes in the fair value measurement are reflected as income or expense in the

consolidated statements of income. As the fair value measurement for the contingent consideration is based on inputs not 
observed in the market, these measurements are classified as Level 3 measurements as defined by fair value 
measurement guidance. 

For CDMI, the Company estimated undiscounted future contingent payments of $90.1 million as of December 
31, 2015, which the Company settled in June 2016. For 4D, the Company estimated net undiscounted future contingent 
payments of $1.0 million as of December 31, 2015, which the Company settled in February 2016.  

For Cobalt, TMG and AFSC the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the discount 

rate, probabilities of payment and projected payment dates. For Cobalt, the Company estimated undiscounted future 
contingent payments of $1.7 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. As of December 
31, 2016, the fair value of the short-term contingent consideration for Cobalt was $0.9 million. For TMG the Company 
estimated undiscounted future contingent payments of $3.8 million and $2.8 million at the acquisition date and 
December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease is mainly a result of changes in operational forecasts and probabilities of 
payment. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the long-term contingent consideration for TMG was $1.8 million. 
For AFSC the Company estimated undiscounted future contingent payments of $9.0 million at the acquisition date and 
December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the short-term contingent consideration for AFSC was 
$8.5 million. As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate amounts and projected dates of future potential contingent 
consideration payments were $9.9 million in 2017 and $2.8 million in 2020. 

As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of the short-term and long-term contingent consideration was $91.6 

million and $0.8 million, respectively, and is included in short-term contingent consideration and long-term contingent 
consideration, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the short-term 
and long-term contingent consideration was $9.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and is included in short-term 
contingent consideration and long-term contingent consideration, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.  

The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration was $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 

2014, $6.2 million and $3.1 million of which was recorded in the consolidated statements of income as direct service 
costs and other operating expenses, and as interest expense, respectively. The change in the fair value of the contingent 
consideration was $44.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was recorded as direct service costs and 
other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The increase was mainly a result of changes in the 
present value and estimated undiscounted liability. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration was 
$(0.1) million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was recorded as direct service costs and other operating 
expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The decrease was mainly a result of net changes in present value and 
estimated undiscounted liability.

Investments 

All of the Company’s investments are classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at fair value. Securities 
which have been classified as Level 1 are measured using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or 
liabilities while those which have been classified as Level 2 are measured using quoted prices for identical assets and 
liabilities in markets that are not active. The Company’s policy is to classify all investments with contractual maturities 
within one year as current. Investment income is recognized when earned and reported net of investment expenses. Net 
unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded from earnings and are reported, net of tax, as “accumulated other

comprehensive income (loss)” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income until realized, unless the losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains or losses, 
including any provision for other-than-temporary declines in value, are included in the consolidated statements of 
income. 

If a debt security is in an unrealized loss position and the Company has the intent to sell the debt security, or it 
is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, 
the decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary and is recorded to other-than-temporary impairment losses 
recognized in income in the consolidated statements of income. For impaired debt securities that the Company does not 
intend to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell such securities, but the Company expects 
that it will not fully recover the amortized cost basis, the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is 
recognized in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in income in the consolidated statements of income 
and the non-credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income. 

The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value 

of projected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by 
discounting the best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security at the 
date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in 
credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. Furthermore, 
unrealized losses entirely caused by non-credit related factors related to debt securities for which the Company expects 
to fully recover the amortized cost basis continue to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, there were no unrealized losses that the Company believed to be 
other-than-temporary. No realized gains or losses were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, or 2016.

Cost 

Accounts Receivable 

The Company’s accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers throughout the United States. 
Collateral is generally not required. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors 
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes the 
allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to provide for normal credit losses. 

Concentration of Credit Risk 

Accounts receivable subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk with third party payors that include 

health insurance companies, managed healthcare organizations, healthcare providers and governmental entities. 

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions which are insured by the 

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At times, balances in certain bank accounts may exceed the FDIC 
insured limits. 

Pharmaceutical Inventory 

Pharmaceutical inventory consists solely of finished goods (primarily prescription drugs) and is stated at the 

lower of first-in first-out cost or market. 

Long-lived Assets 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets to be held and used, are currently 

reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may 
not be recoverable. We group and evaluate these long-lived assets for impairment at the lowest level at which individual 
cash flows can be identified. Impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to 
management’s best estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their 
eventual disposition. The cash flow projections used to make this assessment are consistent with the cash flow 
projections that management uses internally in making key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a loss is 
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally 
determined by using quoted market prices or the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. 

Property and Equipment 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, except for assets that have been impaired, for which the carrying 

amount has been reduced to estimated fair value. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized to the 
property accounts. Replacements and maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective 
assets are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the 
application development stage. Capitalization of software development costs occurs after the preliminary project stage is 
complete, management authorizes the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will 
be used for the function intended. Amortization of capital lease assets is included in depreciation expense and is included 
in accumulated depreciation as reflected in the table below. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the 
estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally two to ten years for building improvements (or the lease term, if 
shorter), three to fifteen years for equipment and three to five years for capitalized internal-use software. The net 
capitalized internal use software as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 was $84.8 million and $88.2 million, respectively. 
Depreciation expense was $68.3 million, $73.4 million and $75.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015

Goodwill 

The Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Company has 
selected October 1 as the date of its annual impairment test. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process that 
requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the 
process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill based on various valuation techniques, 
with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires the input of various assumptions with 
respect to revenues, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. The estimated fair value for each reporting unit 
is compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit, which includes goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than 
the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair 
value” of goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s “implied fair value” of goodwill requires the Company to 
allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated 
fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to its corresponding carrying value. 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a level referred to as a reporting unit, which is one level below the 

operating segment. The Company’s three reporting units are comprised of Commercial, Government and Pharmacy 
Management.  

The fair values of the Commercial (a component of the Healthcare segment) and Pharmacy Management 
reporting units were determined using a discounted cash flow method. This method involves estimating the present value 
of estimated future cash flows utilizing a risk adjusted discount rate. Key assumptions for this method include cash flow 
projections, terminal growth rates and discount rates.  

The fair value of the Government (a component of the Healthcare segment) reporting unit was determined using 

the discounted cash flow and guideline company methods. Key assumptions for the discounted cash flow method are 
consistent with those described above. For the guideline company method, revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, 
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples for guideline companies were applied to the reporting units pro 
forma revenue and EBITDA for 2016, which represents actual results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 
2016 and projected results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, and the reporting unit’s projected 
revenue and EBITDA for 2017. The weighting applied to the fair values determined using the discounted cash flow and 
guideline company methods to determine an overall fair value for the Government reporting unit was 75 percent and 
25 percent, respectively. The weighting of each of the methods described above was based on the relevance of the 
approach. A change in the weighting would not change the outcome of the first step of the impairment test.

Intangible Assets 

The Company reviews other intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur 
which may potentially impact the estimated useful life of the intangible assets. During the second quarter of 2016, the 
Company recognized $4.8 million in impairment charges, which are reflected in direct service costs and other operating 
expenses in the consolidated statements of income and reported within the Healthcare segment. The fair value of the 
impairment was determined using the income method, which resulted in the full impairment of the customer agreement 
intangible asset recorded in conjunction with the AlphaCare acquisition.

Cost of Care, Medical Claims Payable and Other Medical Liabilities 

Cost of care is recognized in the period in which members receive managed healthcare services. In addition to 

actual benefits paid, cost of care in a period also includes the impact of accruals for estimates of medical claims payable. 
Medical claims payable represents the liability for healthcare claims reported but not yet paid and claims incurred but not 
yet reported (“IBNR”) related to the Company’s managed healthcare businesses. Such liabilities are determined by 
employing actuarial methods that are commonly used by health insurance actuaries and that meet actuarial standards of 
practice. Cost of care for the Company’s EAP contracts, which are mainly with the United States federal government, 
pertain to the costs to employ licensed behavioral health counselors to deliver non-medical counseling for these 
contracts. 

The IBNR portion of medical claims payable is estimated based on past claims payment experience for member 

groups, enrollment data, utilization statistics, authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated 
into contract-specific actuarial reserve models and is further analyzed to create “completion factors” that represent the 
average percentage of total incurred claims that have been paid through a given date after being incurred. Factors that 
affect estimated completion factors include benefit changes, enrollment changes, shifts in product mix, seasonality 
influences, provider reimbursement changes, changes in claims inventory levels, the speed of claims processing and 
changes in paid claim levels. Completion factors are applied to claims paid through the financial statement date to 
estimate the ultimate claim expense incurred for the current period. Actuarial estimates of claim liabilities are then 
determined by subtracting the actual paid claims from the estimate of the ultimate incurred claims. For the most recent 
incurred months (generally the most recent two months), the percentage of claims paid for claims incurred in those 
months is generally low. This makes the completion factor methodology less reliable for such months. Therefore, 
incurred claims for any month with a completion factor that is less than 70 percent are generally not projected from 
historical completion and payment patterns; rather they are projected by estimating claims expense based on recent 
monthly estimated cost incurred per member per month times membership, taking into account seasonality influences, 
benefit changes and healthcare trend levels, collectively considered to be “trend factors.” 

Medical claims payable balances are continually monitored and reviewed. If it is determined that the 

Company’s assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, the Company’s 
results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates 
may result in additional cost of care or a reduction of cost of care in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the 
considerable variability of healthcare costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and are sometimes 
significant as compared to the net income recorded in that period. Prior period development is recognized immediately 
upon the actuary’s judgment that a portion of the prior period liability is no longer needed or that additional liability 
should have been accrued. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims payable for the 
years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 (in thousands):

For any given period, a portion of unpaid medical claims payable could be covered by reinvestment liability 
(discussed below) and may not impact the Company’s results of operations for such periods. 

Medical claims payable is offset by customer withholds from capitation payments in situations in which the 
customer has the contractual requirement to pay providers for care incurred.

Favorable development in 2014, 2015 and 2016 was $8.8 million, $22.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively, 
and was mainly related to lower medical trends and faster claims completion than originally assumed. 

Actuarial standards of practice require that claim liabilities be adequate under moderately adverse 
circumstances. Adverse circumstances are situations in which the actual claims experience could be higher than the 
otherwise estimated value of such claims. In many situations, the claims paid amount experienced will be less than the 
estimate that satisfies the actuarial standards of practice. Any prior period favorable cost of care development related to a 
lack of moderately adverse conditions is excluded from “Cost of Care – Prior Years” adjustments, as a similar provision 
for moderately adverse conditions is established for current year cost of care liabilities and therefore does not generally 
impact net income. 

Due to the existence of risk sharing and reinvestment provisions in certain customer contracts, principally in the 

Government contracts, a change in the estimate for medical claims payable does not necessarily result in an equivalent 
impact on cost of care. 

The Company believes that the amount of medical claims payable is adequate to cover its ultimate liability for 

unpaid claims as of December 31, 2016; however, actual claims payments may differ from established estimates. 

Other medical liabilities consist primarily of amounts payable to pharmacies for claims that have been 

adjudicated by the Company but not yet paid. Other medical liabilities also include “reinvestment” payables under 
certain managed healthcare contracts with Medicaid customers and “profit share” payables under certain risk-based 
contracts. Under a contract with reinvestment features, if the cost of care is less than certain minimum amounts specified 
in the contract (usually as a percentage of revenue), the Company is required to “reinvest” such difference in behavioral 
healthcare programs when and as specified by the customer or to pay the difference to the customer for their use in 
funding such programs. Under a contract with profit share provisions, if the cost of care is below certain specified levels, 
the Company will “share” the cost savings with the customer at the percentages set forth in the contract. In addition, 
certain contracts include provisions to provide the Company additional funding if the cost of care is above the specified 
levels. 

Advertising Costs 

Advertising costs consist primarily of printed media services, event sponsorships, and promotional items, which 

are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $2.7 million, $2.5 million, and $2.0 million for the 
fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. 

Accrued Liabilities 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the only individual current liability that exceeded five percent of total 

current liabilities related to accrued employee compensation liabilities of $37.6 million and $76.1 million, respectively. 

Net Income per Common Share attributable to Magellan Health, Inc. 

Net income per common share attributable to Magellan Health, Inc. is computed based on the weighted average 

number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period (see Note 6—
“Stockholders’ Equity”). 

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest 

As of December 31, 2016 the Company held an 84% equity interest in AlphaCare Holdings. The other 

shareholders of AlphaCare Holdings have the right to exercise put options, requiring the Company to purchase up to 
50% of the remaining shares prior to January 1, 2017 provided certain membership levels are attained. After December 
31, 2016 the other shareholders of AlphaCare Holdings have the right to exercise put options requiring the Company to 
purchase all or any portion of the remaining shares. In addition, after December 31, 2016 the Company has the right to 
purchase all remaining shares. Non-controlling interests with redemption features, such as put options, that are not solely 
within the Company’s control are considered redeemable non-controlling interests. Redeemable non-controlling interest 
is considered to be temporary and is therefore reported in a mezzanine level between liabilities and stockholders’ equity 
on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the non-

F-23 

controlling interest’s share of net income or loss or its redemption value. The carrying value of the non-controlling 
interest as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 was $5.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The $1.1 
million decrease in carrying value is a result of operating losses, partially offset by the impact of additional capital 
provided by the Company. The Company evaluates the redemption value on a quarterly basis. If the redemption value is 
greater than the carrying value, the Company adjusts the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest to equal the 
redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Under this method, this is viewed at the end of the reporting period 
as if it were also the redemption date for the non-controlling interest. The Company will reflect redemption value 
adjustments in the earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation if redemption value is in excess of the carrying value of the 
non-controlling interest. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the non-controlling interest exceeded the 
redemption value and therefore no adjustment to the carrying value was required. 

Stock Compensation 

At December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had equity-based employee incentive plans, which are described 

more fully in Note 6—“Stockholders’ Equity”. In addition, the Company issued restricted stock awards associated with 
the Partners Rx Management LLC (“Partners Rx”), CDMI  and AFSC acquisitions, which are also described more fully 
in Note 6—“Stockholders’ Equity”. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the fair value of 
substantially all stock options granted to employees, and recorded stock compensation expense of $40.6 million, 
$50.4 million and $37.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. As stock 
compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 
2015 and 2016 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for annual estimated forfeitures of 
zero to four percent. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated, additional adjustments to 
compensation expense may be required in future periods. If vesting of an award is conditioned upon the achievement of 
performance goals, compensation expense during the performance period is estimated using the most probable outcome 
of the performance goals, and adjusted as the expected outcome changes. The Company recognizes compensation costs 
for awards that do not contain performance conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is 
generally the vesting term of three years. For restricted stock units that include performance conditions, stock 
compensation is recognized using an accelerated method over the vesting period. 

Reclassifications 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.  

In order to better represent the operations of the Company’s segments, effective January 1, 2016, the Company 

began allocating operational and corporate support costs to the Healthcare and Pharmacy Management segments. For 
comparative presentation, the Company applied the allocation methodology retrospectively and reclassified direct 
service costs and other between segments for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. The impact of these 
reclassifications are disclosed in Note 10—“Business Segment Information”. 

The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-18 effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and 

applied it retrospectively.  See Note—2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting 
Pronouncements” for the impact to the Company’s financial statements. 

3. Acquisitions 

Acquisition of AFSC 

Pursuant to the May 15, 2016 share purchase agreement (the “AFSC Agreement”) AFSC, on July 1, 2016 the 

Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of AFSC (the “AFSC Acquisition”). AFSC has extensive 
experience providing and managing behavioral health and specialty services to various agencies of the federal 
government, including all five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.  

The base purchase price for the AFSC Acquisition per the AFSC Agreement was $117.5 million, subject to 

working capital adjustments. Pursuant to the AFSC Agreement, certain members of AFSC’s management, who were also 
shareholders of AFSC, purchased a total of $4.0 million in Magellan restricted common stock, which will vest over a 
two-year period, conditioned upon continued employment with the Company. Consideration for the AFSC Acquisition 

F-24 

 
 
includes a net payment for the net base purchase price of $113.5 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments, 
including adjustments for cash acquired. Proceeds from the sale of restricted common stock are recorded as stock

The Company’s estimated fair values of AFSC’s accounts receivable acquired at the date of acquisition are 

determined based on certain valuations and analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the accounts 
receivable acquired are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed. In addition, the amount recognized for 
deferred tax liabilities may be impacted by the determination of these items. The Company will make appropriate 
adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to the completion of the measurement period as required. 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company established a working capital receivable of $3.2 million that was 

reflected as a reduction to the transaction price. 

The fair value of contingent consideration is determined based on probabilities of payment, projected payment 

dates, discount rates and projected contract retention. The Company used a probability weighted discounted cash flow 
method to arrive at the fair value of contingent consideration. Changes in the probabilities of payment, discount rates or 
projected payment dates may result in a change in the fair value measurement. Any changes in the fair value 
measurement are reflected as income or expense in the consolidated statements of income. As of the acquisition date, the

the fair value of the contingent consideration was $8.5 million and is included in short-term contingent consideration in 
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in the present value of the contingent consideration was $0.3 
million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and was recorded as direct service costs and other operating expenses in 
the consolidated statements of income. 

 In connection with the AFSC acquisition, the Company incurred $1.9 million of acquisition related costs that 
were expensed during the year ended December 31, 2016. These costs are included within direct service costs and other

on July 23, 2019; however, the Company holds an option to extend the 2014 Credit Facility for an additional one year 
period.  

Under the 2014 Credit Facility, the annual interest rate on revolving and term loan borrowings is equal to (i) in 
the case of base rate loans, the sum of a borrowing margin ranging from 0.50 percent to 1.00 percent plus the higher of 
the prime rate, one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight “federal funds” rate, or the Eurodollar rate for one 
month plus 1.00 percent, or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of a borrowing margin ranging from 1.50 
percent to 2.00 percent plus the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in 
base rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans at its discretion, with the borrowing margin for these loans adjusted from time to 
time based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Letters of credit issued bear interest equal to the borrowing margin for 
Eurodollar loans that ranges from 1.50 percent to 2.00 percent, with the commitment commission on the unused 
revolving loan commitment ranging from 0.20 percent to 0.35 percent. These letter of credit and commitment 
commission rates are adjusted from time to time based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. 

Under the 2014 Credit Facility, on September 30, 2014, the Company completed a draw-down of the $250.0 

million term loan (the “2014 Term Loan”). The borrowings have been maintained as a Eurodollar loan. The 2014 Term 
Loan is subject to certain quarterly amortization payments. As of December 31, 2016 the remaining balance on the 2014 
Term Loan was $218.7 million. The 2014 Term Loan will mature on July 23, 2019. As of December 31, 2016, the 2014 
Term Loan bore interest at a rate of 1.625 percent plus the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which was 
equivalent to a total interest rate of approximately 2.395 percent. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the weighted 
average interest rate was approximately 2.034 percent. 

On June 27, 2016, the Company entered into a $200.0 million Credit Agreement with various lenders that 

provides for a $200.0 million term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) to Magellan Pharmacy Services, Inc. (the “2016 Credit 
Facility”). The 2016 Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the non-regulated subsidiaries of the Company 
and will mature on December 29, 2017. 

Under the 2016 Credit Facility, the annual interest rate on the term loan is equal to (i) in the case of base rate 
loans, the sum of a borrowing margin ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent plus the higher of the prime rate, one-
half of one percent in excess of the overnight “federal funds” rate, or the Eurodollar rate for one month plus 1.00 percent, 
or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of a borrowing margin ranging from 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent plus 
the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in base rate loans or 
Eurodollar rate loans at its discretion, with the borrowing margin for these loans adjusted from time to time based on the 
Company’s total leverage ratio.  

The borrowings under the 2016 Term Loan have been maintained as a Eurodollar loan. As of December 31, 

2016 the remaining balance on the 2016 Term Loan was $200.0 million and bore interest at a rate of approximately 
1.375 percent plus the LIBOR, which was equivalent to a total interest rate of approximately 2.145 percent. During the 
period the term loan was outstanding, from June 27, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate 
was approximately 1.901 percent. 

As of December 30, 2016, the contractual maturities of the term loans under the 2014 Credit Facility and the 

2016 Credit Facility (collectively the “Credit Facilities”) were as follows: 2017—$225.0 million; 2018—$25.0 million; 
and 2019—$168.7 million. The Company had $33.4 million and $33.7 million of letters of credit outstanding at 
December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The Company had no revolving loan borrowings at December 31, 2015. 
Beginning in April 2016, due to the timing of working capital needs, the Company has borrowed from the revolving loan 
under the 2014 Credit Facility. The revolving loan borrowings have been in the form of Eurodollar rate loans and totaled 
$175.0 million at December 31, 2016.  

The Credit Facilities contains covenants that limit management’s discretion in operating the Company’s 

business by restricting or limiting the Company’s ability, among other things, to: 

• 

• 

• 

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock; 

pay dividends and make other distributions; 

repurchase equity interests; 

F-29 

•  make certain advances, investments and loans; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

enter into sale and leaseback transactions; 

create liens; 

sell and otherwise dispose of assets; 

acquire or merge or consolidate with another company; and 

enter into some types of transactions with affiliates. 

There were $24.4 million and $26.0 million of capital lease obligations at December 31, 2015 and December 

31, 2016, respectively. The Company’s capital lease obligations represent amounts due under leases for certain 
properties and computer software and equipment. The recorded gross cost of capital leased assets was $39.3 million and 
$41.7 million at December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

6. Stockholders’ Equity 

Stock Compensation 

At December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had equity-based employee incentive plans. Prior to May 18, 
2011, the Company utilized the 2008 Management Incentive Plan (the “2008 MIP”), 2006 Management Incentive Plan 
(the “2006 MIP”), 2003 Management Incentive Plan (the “2003 MIP”) and 2006 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan 
(collectively the “Preexisting Plans”) for grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock 
appreciation rights, to provide incentives to officers, employees and non-employee directors. 

On February 18, 2011, the board of directors of the Company approved the 2011 Management Incentive Plan 

(“2011 MIP”), and the 2011 MIP was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting of 
Shareholders on May 18, 2011. The 2011 MIP provides for the delivery of up to a number of shares equal to 
(i) 5,000,000 shares of common stock, plus (ii) the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the Preexisting 
Plans which become available after shareholder approval of the 2011 MIP as a result of forfeitures, expirations, and in 
other permitted ways under the share recapture provisions of the 2011 MIP. Delivery of shares under “full-value” awards 
(awards other than options or stock appreciation rights) will be counted for each share delivered as 2.29 shares against 
the total number of shares reserved under the 2011 MIP. Upon shareholder approval of the 2011 MIP, no further awards 
were made under the Preexisting Plans, and any shares that remained available for new awards (i.e., were not committed 
for outstanding awards) under the Preexisting Plans were not carried forward to the 2011 MIP. 

On February 25, 2016, the board of directors of the Company approved the 2016 Management Incentive Plan 

(“2016 MIP”), and the 2016 MIP was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting of 
Shareholders on May 18, 2016. The 2016 MIP provides for the delivery of up to a number of shares equal to 
(i) 4,000,000 shares of common stock, plus (ii) the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2011 MIP 
and Preexisting Plans which become available after shareholder approval of the 2016 MIP as a result of forfeitures, 
expirations, and in other permitted ways under the share recapture provisions of the 2016 MIP. Delivery of shares under 
“full-value” awards (awards other than options or stock appreciation rights) will be counted for each share delivered as 
1.60 shares against the total number of shares reserved under the 2016 MIP. The 2011 MIP remains in effect and new 
awards will continue to be granted from the 2011 MIP for participants that are not covered officers under Section 162(m) 
if the Internal Revenue Code until all shares are depleted. 

The 2011 MIP and 2016 MIP provides for awards of stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted 

stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), stock appreciation rights, cash-denominated 
awards and any combination of the foregoing. A restricted stock unit is a notional account representing the right to 
receive a share of the Company’s Common Stock (or, at the Company’s option, cash in lieu thereof) at some future date. 
In general, stock options vest ratably on each anniversary over the three years subsequent to grant, and have a ten year 
life. With the exception of the shares received by the principal owners of Partners Rx and CDMI, RSAs generally vest on 
the anniversary of the grant. In general, RSUs vest ratably on each anniversary over the three years subsequent to grant, 
assuming that the associated performance hurdle(s) for that vesting year are met. Stock compensation expense is 

F-30 

recognized using an accelerated method over the vesting period based upon the continued employment of the RSU 
holder and the probability of achievement of the performance hurdle(s). RSUs granted in 2013 and 2014 have 
performance thresholds based on EPS and return on equity (“ROE”). The PSUs vest over three years and are subject to 
market-based conditions. At December 31, 2016, 204,858 shares and 4,128,892 shares of the Company’s common stock 
remain available for future grant under the Company’s 2011 MIP and 2016 MIP, respectively.  

On February 27, 2014 the board of directors of the Company approved the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan 

(“2014 ESPP”), and the 2014 ESPP was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2014 Annual Meeting of 
Shareholders on May 21, 2014. The 2014 ESPP provides for up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s ordinary common 
stock, plus the number of shares remaining under the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, to be issued. During the years 
ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, 39,673 and 48,815 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued under the 
employee stock purchase plans, respectively. At December 31, 2016, 128,613 shares of the Company’s common stock 
remain available for future grant under the Company’s 2014 ESPP.

The weighted average grant date fair value per share of substantially all stock options granted during the years 

ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 was $13.49, $13.69 and $15.05, respectively, as estimated using the

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, expected volatility was based on the historical 

volatility of the Company’s stock price. 

As of December 31, 2016, there was $10.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to 
nonvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining recognition period of 
1.72 years. The total fair value of options vested during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $9.3 million. 

In the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, $3.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of benefits of tax 

deductions in excess of recognized stock compensation expense were realized and as such were reported as financing 
cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the net change to additional paid-in capital related to tax benefits 
(deficiencies) was $3.5 million which primarily consists of the $4.1 million of excess tax benefits offset by $0.6 million 
of tax deficiencies. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the net change to additional paid-in capital related to tax 
benefits (deficiencies) was $3.0 million which primarily consists of the $3.2 million of excess tax benefits offset by 
$0.3 million of tax deficiencies. These tax benefits were reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating 
cash flow. 

In the year ended December 31, 2016, the net tax benefit from excess tax deductions was $0.8 million, which 

consists of $1.0 million of excess tax benefits offset by $0.2 million of tax deficiencies. Due to the adoption of ASU 
2016-09 in 2016, this net tax benefit reduced income tax expense rather than being recorded as a change in additional 
paid-in-capital. Consistent with the adoption of this provision, the net tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2016 
is reported as an operating cash flow, rather than a financing cash flow.

The weighted average estimated fair value of the PSUs granted in year ended December 31, 2015 was $85.00, 

which was derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. Significant assumptions utilized in estimating the value of the awards 
granted include an expected dividend yield of 0%, a risk free rate of 1%, and expected volatility of 15% to 52% (average 
of 28%). The PSUs will entitle the grantee to receive a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined 
over a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2017 and vesting on March 4, 2018, the settlement date, 
provided the grantee remains in the service of the Company on the settlement date. The Company expenses the cost of 
these awards ratably over the requisite service period. The number of shares for which the PSUs will be settled will be a 
percentage of shares for which the award is targeted and will depend on the Company’s total shareholder return (as 
defined below), expressed as a percentile ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the 
Company’s peer group (as defined below). The number of shares for which the PSUs will be settled vary from zero to 
200 percent of the shares specified in the grant. Total shareholder return is determined by dividing the average share 
value of the Company’s Common Stock over the 30 trading days preceding January 1, 2018 by the average share value 
of the Company’s Common Stock over the 30 trading days beginning on January 1, 2015, with a deemed reinvestment of 
any dividends declared during the performance period. The Company’s peer group includes 54 companies which 
comprise the S&P Health Care Services Industry Index, which was selected by the Compensation Committee of the 
Company’s Board of Directors and includes a range of healthcare companies operating in several business segments. 

The weighted average estimated fair value of the PSUs granted in the year ended December 31, 2016 was 

$97.22, which was derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. Significant assumptions utilized in estimating the value of 
the awards granted include an expected dividend yield of 0%, a risk free rate of 1%, and expected volatility of 16% to 
81% (average of 32%). The PSUs granted in the year ended December 31, 2016, will entitle the grantee to receive a

Index, which was selected by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors and includes a range of 
healthcare companies operating in several business segments. 

As of December 31, 2016, there was $6.1 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 

2016 was calculated using outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Common stock equivalents included in 
the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 
and 2016 represent stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, restricted stock awards, restricted 
stock units and stock purchased under the ESPP. 

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Company had additional potential dilutive 
securities outstanding representing 0.7 million, 1.3 million and 1.5 million options, respectively, that were not included 
in the computation of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive for such periods. Had these shares not been 
anti-dilutive, all of these shares would not have been included in the net income per common share calculation as the 
Company uses the treasury stock method of calculating diluted shares. 

Stock Repurchases 

The Company’s board of directors has previously authorized a series of stock repurchase plans. Stock 
repurchases for each such plan could be executed through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, 
accelerated share repurchases or other means. The board of directors authorized management to execute stock repurchase 
transactions from time to time and in such amounts and via such methods as management deemed appropriate. Each 
stock repurchase program could be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities 

On March 31, 2014, the Company and CDMI, LLC entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which on 

April 30, 2014 the sellers and key management of CDMI purchased 1,433,946 shares of the Company’s restricted stock 
for a total purchase price of $80.0 million. The aggregate number of shares issued was determined by dividing $80.0 
million by the volume weighted average trading prices per share of Magellan’s ordinary common stock on the NASDAQ 
as reported by Bloomberg US L.P. using its “Volume at Price” function over the five trading days ended on the trading 
day prior to the closing of the purchase agreement. The shares received by such sellers and key management of CDMI 
are subject to vesting over 42 months with 25% vesting after 18 months and 75% vesting after 42 months, conditioned 
on continued employment. The shares were issued to the sellers and key management of CDMI in a private placement 
pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Company has $1.8 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) available to reduce its 

federal consolidated taxable income in 2017 and subsequent years. These NOLs will expire in 2018 and 2019 if not used 
and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. AlphaCare has $41.0 million of federal NOLs available to 
reduce its consolidated taxable income in 2017 and subsequent years. These NOLs will expire in 2033 through 2036 if 
not used and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. The Company and its subsidiaries also have $103.6 
million of state NOLs available to reduce state taxable income at certain subsidiaries in 2016 and subsequent years. Most 
of these NOLs will expire in 2017 through 2035 if not used and are subject to examination and adjustment by the 
respective state tax authorities. 

The Company’s valuation allowances against deferred tax assets were $15.5 million and $17.1 million as of 
December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, mostly relating to uncertainties regarding the eventual realization of the 
AlphaCare federal NOLs and certain state NOLs. The $1.6 million increase in valuation allowance recorded to income 
tax expense in the current year mostly consists of an additional $3.3 million allowance for federal NOLs at AlphaCare, 
offset by a $1.8 million reversal for actual and projected utilization of state NOL carryovers due to improved operations. 
Reversals of valuation allowances are recorded in the period they occur, typically as reductions to income tax expense. 
Determination of the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable requires significant judgment and estimation 
regarding the forecasts of future taxable income which are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to 
manage the underlying businesses. Although consideration is also given to potential tax planning strategies which might 
be available to improve the realization of deferred tax assets, none were identified which were both prudent and 
reasonable. The Company believes taxable income expected to be generated in the future will be sufficient to support 
realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, as reduced by valuation allowances. This determination is based upon 
earnings history and future earnings expectations. Because AlphaCare has no earnings history due to the NOLs incurred 
to date, a full valuation allowance is recorded on such NOLs. Other than deferred tax benefits attributable to operating 
loss carryforwards, there are no time constraints within which the Company’s deferred tax assets must be realized. 
Future changes in the estimated realizability of deferred tax assets could materially affect the Company’s financial 
condition and results of operations.

If these unrecognized tax benefits had been realized as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, $8.6 million and 

$9.1 million, respectively, would have reduced income tax expense. 

The Company continually performs a comprehensive review of its tax positions and accrues amounts for tax 

contingencies related to uncertain tax positions. Based upon these reviews, the status of ongoing tax audits and the 
expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, accruals are adjusted as necessary. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax 
position is recognized when it is more likely than not that, based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained 
upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. 

The Company also adjusts these liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits when its judgment changes as a result 

of the evaluation of new information not previously available. However, the ultimate resolution of a disputed tax position 
following an examination by a taxing authority could result in a payment that is materially different from that accrued by 
the Company. These differences are reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they 
are determined. However, reversals of unrecognized tax benefits related to deductions for stock compensation in excess 
of the related book are recorded as reductions to deferred tax assets, although prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09 in 
2016 were recorded as increases in additional paid-in capital.  

The statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and most state and local income taxes for 2012 

expired during 2016. As a result, $2.2 million of tax contingency reserves recorded as of December 31, 2015 were 
reversed in 2016, of which $1.5 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense and $0.7 million as a 
decrease to deferred tax assets. Additionally, $0.1 million of accrued interest was reversed in 2016 and reflected as 
reductions to income tax expense due to the closing of statutes of limitations on tax assessments. 

The statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and most state and local income taxes for 2011 

expired during 2015. As a result, $3.1 million of tax contingency reserves recorded as of December 31, 2014 were 
reversed in 2015, of which $2.0 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense, $1.0 million as a decrease to 
deferred tax assets, and the remainder as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, $0.4 million of accrued 
interest and $0.7 million of unrecognized state tax benefits were reversed in 2015 and reflected as reductions to income 
tax expense due to the closing of statutes of limitations on tax assessments and the favorable settlement of state income 
tax examinations. 

The statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and most state and local income taxes for 2010 

expired during 2014. As a result, $19.5 million of tax contingency reserves recorded as of December 31, 2013 were 
reversed in 2014, of which $16.0 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense, $2.6 million as an increase 
to additional paid-in capital, and the remainder as a decrease to deferred tax assets. Additionally, $1.4 million of accrued 
interest was reversed in 2014 and reflected as a reduction to income tax expense due to the closing of statutes of 
limitations on tax assessments. 

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax assessments by tax authorities for years 
ended prior to 2013. Further, it is reasonably possible the statutes of limitations regarding the assessment of federal and 
most state and local income taxes for 2013 could expire during 2017. Up to $2.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits 
recorded as of December 31, 2016 could be reversed during 2017 as a result of statute expirations, of which $1.8 million

would be reflected as a reduction to income tax expense and $0.8 million as a decrease to deferred tax assets. All 
reversals from statute expirations would be reflected as discrete adjustments during the quarter in which the respective 
event occurs. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had accrued approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 
million, respectively, for the potential payment of interest and penalties. The Company accrues interest and penalties 
related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 
and 2016, the Company recorded approximately $(0.8) million, $(0.4) million and $0.1 million in interest and penalties.

9. Commitments and Contingencies 

Insurance 

The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage for a broad range of risks in its business. The 

Company has renewed its general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers 
for a one-year period from June 17, 2016 to June 17, 2017. The general liability policy is written on an “occurrence” 
basis, subject to a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability and managed 
care errors and omissions liability policies are written on a “claims-made” basis, subject to a $1.0 million per claim 
($10.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care errors and omissions 
liability, and a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for professional liability. 

The Company maintains a separate general and professional liability insurance policy with an unaffiliated 
insurer for its specialty pharmaceutical dispensing operations. The specialty pharmaceutical dispensing operations 
insurance policy has a one-year term for the period June 17, 2016 to June 17, 2017. The general liability policy is written 
on an “occurrence” basis and the professional liability policy is written on a “claims-made” basis, subject to a 
$0.05 million per claim and $0.25 million aggregated self-insured retention. 

The Company is responsible for claims within its self-insured retentions, and for portions of claims reported 

after the expiration date of the policies if they are not renewed, or if policy limits are exceeded. The Company also 
purchases excess liability coverage in an amount that management believes to be reasonable for the size and profile of 
the organization. 

Regulatory Issues 

The managed healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations. The subjects of such laws and 

regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program 
participation requirements, information privacy and security, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and 
Medicaid fraud and abuse. Over the past several years, government activity has increased with respect to investigations 
and/or allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and/or regulations by 
healthcare organizations and insurers. Entities that are found to have violated these laws and regulations may be 
excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected to fines or penalties or required to repay 
amounts received from the government for previously billed patient services. Compliance with such laws and regulations 
can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at 
this time. 

In addition, regulators of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries may exercise certain discretionary rights under 

regulations including increasing their supervision of such entities, requiring additional restricted cash or other security or 
seizing or otherwise taking control of the assets and operations of such subsidiaries.

Legal 

The Company’s operating activities entail significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is 

subject to various actions and claims arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other 
parties. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents 
involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, 
professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. Many of 
these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the Company to incur 
significant fees and costs related to their defense. 

The Company is also subject to or party to certain class actions and other litigation and claims relating to its 

operations or business practices. In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded reserves that are adequate to 
cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the 
outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will 
not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be 
no assurance in this regard. 

Operating Leases 

The Company leases certain of its operating facilities and equipment. The leases, which expire at various dates 

through January 2025, generally require the Company to pay all maintenance, property tax and insurance costs. 

At December 31, 2016, aggregate amounts of future minimum payments under operating leases were as 

follows: 2017—$17.1 million; 2018—$13.2 million; 2019—$12.3 million; 2020—$5.6 million; 2021—$4.1 million;

10. Business Segment Information 

The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those described in Note 1—“General.” The 

Company evaluates performance of its segments based on profit or loss from operations before stock compensation 
expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other income, changes in the fair value of 
contingent consideration recorded in relation to acquisitions, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, and 
income taxes (“Segment Profit”). Management uses Segment Profit information for internal reporting and control 
purposes and considers it important in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other resources, risk 
assessment and employee compensation, among other matters. Healthcare subcontracts with Pharmacy Management to 
provide pharmacy benefits management services for certain of Healthcare’s customers. In addition, Pharmacy 
Management provides pharmacy benefits management for the Company’s employees covered under its medical plan. As 
such, revenue, cost of goods sold and direct service costs and other related to these arrangements are eliminated. The 
Company’s segments are defined above.

Stock compensation expense, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in relation to the 
acquisitions and impairment of intangible assets are included in direct service costs and other operating 
expenses; however, these amounts are excluded from the computation of Segment Profit. 

The non-controlling interest portion of AlphaCare’s segment profit (loss) is excluded from the computation of 
Segment Profit.

12. Subsequent Events 

2017 Credit Facility 

On January 10, 2017, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi 

UFJ, Ltd., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Compass Bank (d/b/a BBVA Compass), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 
Suntrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, that 
provides for a $200.0 million delayed draw term loan to Magellan Pharmacy Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of the Company, as the borrower (the “2017 Credit Facility”).  

The 2017 Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the non-regulated subsidiaries of the Company and 
will mature on December 29, 2017. The proceeds of the 2017 Credit Facility will be used for working capital and general 
corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions not prohibited thereunder.  

Under the 2017 Credit Facility, the annual interest rate on the term loan borrowing is equal to (i) in the case of 

base rate loans, the sum of an initial borrowing margin of 0.625 percent plus the higher of the prime rate, one-half of one 
percent in excess of the overnight “federal funds” rate, or the Eurodollar rate for one month plus 1.00 percent, or (ii) in 
the case of Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of an initial borrowing margin of 1.625 percent plus the Eurodollar rate for the 
selected interest period. The borrowing margin is subject to adjustment based on the leverage ratio of the Company. The 
Company, through Magellan Pharmacy Services, Inc., has the option to borrow in base rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans 
at its discretion. The commitment commission on the 2017 Credit Facility is 0.25 percent of the unused commitment, 
which rate shall be adjusted from time to time based on the Company's total leverage ratio.  

The 2017 Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants and certain events of default 

customary for facilities of this type and substantially identical to those applicable to the 2016 Credit Facility. 

On January 10, 2017, the Company completed a $100.0 million draw of its available $200.0 million delayed 
draw term loan under the 2017 Credit Facility. Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the revolver borrowings under the 
2014 Credit Facility have been settled. As of February 22, 2017, the Company had borrowing capacity of $222.3 million 
and $100.0 million under its 2014 Credit Facility and 2017 Credit Facility, respectively. 

Granite Alliance Insurance Company Acquisition 

Pursuant to the November 19, 2016 purchase agreement with Veridicus Health and Granite Alliance Insurance 

Company (“Granite”) (the “Granite Agreement”), on February 7, 2017 the Company acquired all of the issued and 
outstanding stock of Granite. Granite is a fully licensed insurance company which is contracted with CMS and serves 
members enrolled in the Medicare Part D Employer Group Waiver Plan (“EGWP”) program. As consideration for this 
transaction, the Company paid a base price of $2.0 million, subject to working capital adjustments.
