Item 1.    Business.

Overview

We  began  operations  in  1997  and,  based  on  the  number  of  facilities,  are  one  of  the  largest  operators  of  critical  illness 
recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. 
As of December 31, 2020, we had operations in 46 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 2020, we operated 
99  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  in  28  states,  30  rehabilitation  hospitals  in  12  states,  and  1,788  outpatient  rehabilitation 
clinics in 37 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 2020, Concentra, a joint venture subsidiary, operated 517 
occupational health centers in 41 states. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites.

We  manage  our  Company  through  four  business  segments:  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  segment,  our 
rehabilitation hospital segment, our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and our Concentra segment. We had revenue of $5,531.7 
million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Of this total, we earned approximately 38% of our revenue from our critical 
illness recovery hospital segment, approximately 13% from our rehabilitation hospital segment, approximately 17% from our 
outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately 27% from our Concentra segment. We also recognized revenue associated 
with employee leasing services provided to the Company’s non-consolidating subsidiaries; these revenues are included as part 
of our other activities. The Company previously referred to its revenue as “net operating revenues.”

Our critical illness recovery hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of patients recovering from 
critical illnesses, often with complex medical needs, and our rehabilitation hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to 
serve patients that require intensive physical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our critical illness recovery 
hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals from general acute care hospitals. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics 
that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists of occupational health 
centers  and  contract  services  provided  at  employer  worksites  that  deliver  occupational  medicine,  physical  therapy,  and 
consumer  health  services.  See  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—
Results of Operations” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 15. Segment Information” beginning on F-29 
for financial information for each of our segments for the past three fiscal years.

Critical Illness Recovery Hospitals

We are a leading operator of critical illness recovery hospitals in the United States, which are certified by Medicare as 
long term care hospitals (“LTCHs”). As of December 31, 2020, we operated 99 critical illness recovery hospitals in 28 states. 
For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020, approximately 51%, 49% and 43%, respectively, of the revenue of 
our  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  segment  came  from  Medicare  reimbursement.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  we  employed 
approximately  14,700  people  in  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  segment,  consisting  primarily  of  registered  nurses, 
respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

We  operate  the  majority  of  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  as  a  hospital  within  a  hospital  (an  “HIH”).  A  critical 
illness recovery hospital that operates as an HIH typically leases space from a general acute care hospital, or “host hospital,” 
and operates as a separately licensed hospital within the host hospital, or on the same campus as the host hospital. In contrast, a 
free-standing  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  does  not  operate  on  a  host  hospital  campus.  We  operated  99  critical  illness 
recovery hospitals at December 31, 2020, of which 70 were operated as HIHs and 29 were operated as free-standing hospitals.

Patients are typically admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals from general acute care hospitals, likely following 
an intensive care unit stay, suffering from chronic critical illness. These patients have highly specialized needs, with serious and 
complex medical conditions involving multiple organ systems. These conditions are often a result of complications related to 
heart  failure,  complex  infectious  disease,  respiratory  failure  and  pulmonary  disease,  complex  surgery  requiring  prolonged 
recovery,  renal  disease,  neurological  events,  and  trauma.  Given  their  complex  medical  needs,  these  patients  require  a  longer 
length of stay than patients in a general acute care hospital and benefit from being treated in a critical illness recovery hospital 
that  is  designed  to  meet  their  unique  medical  needs.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  average  length  of  stay  for 
patients in our critical illness recovery hospitals was 30 days.

Additionally,  we  continually  seek  to  increase  our  admissions  by  demonstrating  our  quality  outcomes  and,  by  doing  so, 
expanding  and  improving  our  relationships  with  the  physicians  and  general  acute  care  hospitals  in  the  markets  where  we 
operate. We maintain a strong focus on the provision of high-quality medical care within our facilities. The Joint Commission 
(“TJC”)  and  DNV  GL  Healthcare  USA,  Inc.  (“DNV”)  are  independent,  not-for-profit  organizations  that  establish  standards 
related  to  the  operation  and  management  of  healthcare  facilities.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  we  operated  99  critical  illness 
recovery hospitals, 98 of which were accredited by TJC. One of our critical illness recovery hospitals was accredited by DNV.  
Also as of December 31, 2020, all of our critical illness recovery hospitals were certified as LTCHs. Each of our critical illness 
recovery hospitals must regularly demonstrate to a survey team conformance to the applicable standards established by TJC, 
DNV or the Medicare program, as applicable.

Table of Contents

When a patient is referred to one of our critical illness recovery hospitals by a physician, case manager, discharge planner, 
or payor, a clinical assessment is performed to determine patient eligibility for admission. Based on the determinations reached 
in this clinical assessment, an admission decision is made.

Upon  admission,  an  interdisciplinary  team  meets  to  perform  a  comprehensive  review  of  the  patient’s  condition.  The 
interdisciplinary  team  is  composed  of  a  number  of  clinicians  and  may  include  any  or  all  of  the  following:  an  attending 
physician; a registered nurse; a physical, occupational, and speech therapist; a respiratory therapist; a dietitian; a pharmacist; 
and  a  case  manager.  Upon  completion  of  an  initial  evaluation  by  each  member  of  the  treatment  team,  an  individualized 
treatment plan is established and initiated. Case management coordinates all aspects of the patient’s hospital stay and serves as 
a liaison to the insurance carrier’s case management staff as appropriate. The case manager specifically communicates clinical 
progress, resource utilization, and treatment goals to the patient, the treatment team, and the payor.

Each  of  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  has  a  distinct  medical  staff  that  is  composed  of  physicians  from  multiple 
specialties  that  have  successfully  completed  the  required  privileging  and  credentialing  process.  In  general,  physicians  on  the 
medical staff are not directly employed but are more commonly independent, practicing at multiple hospitals in the community. 
Attending physicians conduct daily rounds on their patients while consulting physicians provide consulting services based on 
the specific medical needs of our patients. Each critical illness recovery hospital develops on-call arrangements with individual 
physicians to help ensure that a physician is available to care for our patients. When determining the appropriate composition of 
the  medical  staff  of  a  critical  illness  recovery  hospital,  we  consider  the  size  of  the  critical  illness  recovery  hospital,  services 
provided by the critical illness recovery hospital, if applicable, the size and capabilities of the medical staff of the general acute 
care hospital that hosts that HIH and, if applicable, the proximity of an acute care hospital to the free-standing critical illness 
recovery hospital. The medical staff of each of our critical illness recovery hospitals meets the applicable requirements set forth 
by Medicare, the hospital’s applicable accrediting organizations, and the state in which that critical illness recovery hospital is 
located.

Our critical illness recovery hospital segment is led by a president & chief operating officer, chief medical officer, and 
chief  quality  officer.  Each  of  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  has  an  onsite  management  team  consisting  of  a  chief 
executive officer, a medical director, a chief nursing officer, and a director of business development. These teams manage local 
strategy and day-to-day operations, including oversight of clinical care and treatment. They also assume primary responsibility 
for developing relationships with the general acute care providers and clinicians in the local areas we serve that refer patients to 
our critical illness recovery hospitals. We provide our critical illness recovery hospitals with centralized accounting, treasury, 
payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance, management information systems, and billing and collection 
services. The centralization of these services improves efficiency and permits staff at our critical illness recovery hospitals to 
focus their time on patient care.

For a description of government regulations and Medicare payments made to our critical illness recovery hospitals, see 
“—Government Regulations” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—
Regulatory Changes.”

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Strategy

The key elements of our critical illness recovery hospital strategy are to:

Focus  on  Specialized  Inpatient  Services.  We  serve  highly  acute  patients  and  patients  with  debilitating  injuries  and 
rehabilitation  needs  that  cannot  be  adequately  cared  for  in  a  less  medically  intensive  environment,  such  as  a  skilled  nursing 
facility. Patients admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals require long stays, benefiting from a more specialized and 
targeted clinical approach. Our care model is distinct from what patients experience in general acute care hospitals.

Provide  High-Quality  Care  and  Service.  Our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  serve  a  critical  role  in  comprehensive 
healthcare  delivery.  Through  our  specialized  treatment  programs  and  staffing  models,  we  treat  patients  with  acute,  highly 
complex, and specialized medical needs. Our treatment programs focus on specific patient needs and medical conditions, such 
as  ventilator  weaning  protocols,  comprehensive  wound  care  assessments  and  treatment  protocols,  medication  review  and 
antibiotic  stewardship,  infection  control  prevention,  and  customized  mobility,  speech,  and  swallow  programs.  Our  staffing 
models seek to ensure that patients have the appropriate clinical resources over the course of their stay. We maintain quality 
assurance  programs  to  support  and  monitor  quality  of  care  standards  and  to  meet  regulatory  requirements  and  maintain 
Medicare certifications. We believe that we are recognized for providing quality care and service, which helps develop brand 
loyalty in the local areas we serve.

Table of Contents

Our  treatment  programs  are  continuously  reassessed  and  updated  based  on  peer-reviewed  literature.  This  approach 
provides  our  clinicians  access  to  the  best  practices  and  protocols  that  we  have  found  to  be  effective  in  treating  various 
conditions  in  this  population  such  as  respiratory  failure,  non-healing  wounds,  brain  injury,  renal  dysfunction,  and  complex 
infectious diseases. In addition, we customize these programs to provide a treatment plan tailored to meet our patients’ unique 
needs. The collaborative team-based approach coupled with the intense focus on patient safety and quality affords these highly 
complex  patients  the  best  opportunity  to  recover  from  catastrophic  illness.  This  comprehensive  care  model  is  ultimately 
measured by the functional recovery of each of our patients.

Our critical illness recovery hospitals demonstrated a critical role in caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Our critical illness recovery hospitals were and continue to be in a position to enhance and promote recovery of patients with 
COVID-19,  as  many  patients  with  severe  manifestations  of  COVID-19  require  prolonged  mechanical  ventilation.  We  have 
developed  specialized  strategies  for  liberation  from  prolonged  mechanical  ventilation,  promoting  physical  recovery  through 
innovative  therapies  and  nutrition  programs  while  reducing  risk  of  adverse  ventilator-associated  events  including  pneumonia 
and infection. Our critical illness recovery hospitals demonstrated rapid preparation and implementation of modifications that 
supported the treatment of active COVID-19 patients and patients recovering from moderate-to-severe response to COVID-19 
infection. Successful treatment resulted in a significant increase in the proportion of COVID-19 patients who were discharged 
to home and lower level of care compared to non-COVID-19 patients. We have demonstrated that our critical illness recovery 
hospitals can substitute for ICU beds in regions with high COVID-19 surge levels and as a post-ICU provider for patients who 
require longer-term care while recovering from severe complications from COVID-19. 

The quality of the patient care we provide is continually monitored using several measures, including clinical outcomes 
data and analyses and patient satisfaction surveys. Quality metrics from our critical illness recovery hospitals are used to create 
monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting for our leadership team. In order to benchmark ourselves against other hospitals, we 
collect our clinical and patient satisfaction information and compare it to national standards and the results of other healthcare 
organizations. We are required to report quality measures to individual states based on unique requirements and laws. We also 
submit  required  quality  data  elements  to  the  Center  for  Medicare  &  Medicaid  Services  (“CMS”).  See  “—Government 
Regulations—Other Medicare Regulations—Medicare Quality Reporting.”

Control  Operating  Costs.  We  continually  seek  to  improve  operating  efficiency  and  control  costs  at  our  critical  illness 

recovery hospitals by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:

•

•

•

centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, finance, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human 
resources, compliance, and billing and collection;

standardizing  management  information  systems  to  assist  in  capturing  the  medical  record,  accounting,  billing, 
collections, and data capture and analysis; and

centralizing  sourcing  and  contracting  to  receive  discounted  prices  for  pharmaceuticals,  medical  supplies,  and  other 
commodities used in our operations.

Increase Commercial Volume. We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to 
increase  our  volume  of  patients  with  commercial  insurance  in  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals.  We  believe  that 
commercial payors seek to contract with our hospitals because we offer our patients high-quality, cost-effective care at more 
attractive  rates  than  general  acute  care  hospitals.  We  also  offer  commercial  enrollees  customized  treatment  programs  not 
typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions. We may grow our network of critical illness recovery hospitals through opportunistic 
acquisitions. When we acquire a critical illness recovery hospital or a group of related facilities, a team of our professionals is 
responsible for formulating and executing an integration plan. We seek to improve financial performance at such facilities by 
adding  clinical  programs  that  attract  commercial  payors,  centralizing  administrative  functions,  and  implementing  our 
standardized resource management programs.

Rehabilitation Hospitals

Our  rehabilitation  hospitals  provide  comprehensive  physical  medicine,  as  well  as  rehabilitation  programs  and  services, 
which serve to optimize patient health, function, and quality of life. As of December 31, 2020, we operated 30 rehabilitation 
hospitals in 12 states. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020, approximately 50%, 50% and 47% respectively, 
of  the  revenue  of  our  rehabilitation  hospital  segment  came  from  Medicare  reimbursement.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  we 
employed  approximately  11,500  people  in  our  rehabilitation  hospital  segment,  consisting  primarily  of  registered  nurses, 
respiratory  therapists,  physical  therapists,  occupational  therapists,  speech  therapists,  neuropsychologists,  and  other 
psychologists.

Table of Contents

Patients  at  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  have  specialized  needs,  with  serious  and  often  complex  medical  conditions 
requiring rehabilitative healthcare services in an inpatient setting. These conditions require targeted therapy and rehabilitation 
treatment, including comprehensive rehabilitative services for brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, amputations, neurological 
disorders, orthopedic conditions, pediatric congenital or acquired disabilities, and cancer. Given their complex medical needs 
and gradual and prolonged recovery, these patients generally require a longer length of stay than patients in a general acute care 
hospital.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  average  length  of  stay  for  patients  in  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  was 
15 days.

Additionally,  we  continually  seek  to  increase  our  admissions  by  demonstrating  our  quality  outcomes  and,  by  doing  so, 
expanding  and  improving  our  relationships  with  the  physicians  and  general  acute  care  hospitals  in  the  markets  where  we 
operate.  We  maintain  a  strong  focus  on  the  provision  of  high-quality  medical  care  within  our  facilities.  As  of  December  31, 
2020, we operated 30 rehabilitation hospitals, all of which were accredited by TJC. Also as of December 31, 2020, all of our 
rehabilitation  hospitals  were  certified  as  Medicare  providers  as  inpatient  rehabilitation  facilities  (“IRFs”).  12  of  our 
rehabilitation  hospitals  also  received  accreditation  from  the  Commission  on  Accreditation  of  Rehabilitation  Facilities 
(“CARF”),  an  independent,  not-for-profit  organization  that  establishes  standards  related  to  the  operation  of  medical 
rehabilitation  facilities.  Each  of  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  must  regularly  demonstrate  to  a  survey  team  conformance  to  the 
applicable standards established by TJC, the Medicare program, or CARF, as applicable.

When a patient is referred to one of our rehabilitation hospitals by a physician, case manager, discharge planner, health 
maintenance  organization,  or  insurance  company,  we  perform  a  clinical  assessment  of  the  patient  to  determine  if  the  patient 
meets criteria for admission. Based on the determinations reached in this clinical assessment, an admission decision is made.

Upon  admission,  an  interdisciplinary  team  reviews  a  patient’s  condition.  The  interdisciplinary  team  is  composed  of  a 
number  of  clinicians  and  may  include  any  or  all  of  the  following:  an  attending  physician;  a  registered  nurse;  a  physical, 
occupational, and speech therapist; a respiratory therapist; a dietitian; a pharmacist; and a case manager. Upon completion of an 
initial evaluation by each member of the treatment team, an individualized treatment plan is established and implemented. The 
case  manager  coordinates  all  aspects  of  the  patient’s  hospital  stay  and  serves  as  a  liaison  with  the  insurance  carrier’s  case 
management  staff  when  appropriate.  The  case  manager  communicates  progress,  resource  utilization,  and  treatment  goals 
between the patient, the treatment team, and the payor.

Each of our rehabilitation hospitals has a multi-specialty medical staff that is composed of physicians who have completed 
the  privileging  and  credentialing  process  required  by  that  rehabilitation  hospital  and  have  been  approved  by  the  governing 
board  of  that  rehabilitation  hospital.  Physicians  on  the  medical  staff  of  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  are  generally  not  directly 
employed by our rehabilitation hospitals, but instead have staff privileges at one or more hospitals. At each of our rehabilitation 
hospitals, attending physicians conduct rounds on their patients on a regular basis and consulting physicians provide consulting 
services based on the medical needs of our patients. Our rehabilitation hospitals also have on-call arrangements with physicians 
to  help  ensure  that  a  physician  is  available  to  care  for  our  patients.  We  staff  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  with  the  number  of 
physicians, therapists, and other medical practitioners that we believe is appropriate to address the varying needs of our patients. 
When  determining  the  appropriate  composition  of  the  medical  staff  of  a  rehabilitation  hospital,  we  consider  the  size  of  the 
rehabilitation hospital, services provided by the rehabilitation hospital, and, if applicable, the proximity of an acute care hospital 
to  the  free-standing  rehabilitation  hospital.  The  medical  staff  of  each  of  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  meets  the  applicable 
requirements set forth by Medicare, the facility’s applicable accrediting organizations, and the state in which that rehabilitation 
hospital is located.

Our rehabilitation hospital segment is led by a president, chief operating officer, national medical director, chief academic 
officer,  and  chief  quality  officer.    Each  of  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  has  an  onsite  management  team  consisting  of  a  chief 
executive  officer,  a  medical  director,  a  chief  nursing  officer,  a  director  of  therapy  services,  and  a  director  of  business 
development. These teams manage local strategy and day-to-day operations, including oversight of clinical care and treatment. 
They also assume primary responsibility for developing relationships with the general acute care providers and clinicians in the 
local areas we serve that refer patients to our rehabilitation hospitals. We provide our facilities within our rehabilitation hospital 
segment with centralized accounting, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance, management 
information systems, and billing and collection services. The centralization of these services improves efficiency and permits 
the staff at our rehabilitation hospitals to focus their time on patient care.

For  a  description  of  government  regulations  and  Medicare  payments  made  to  our  rehabilitation  hospitals,  see  “—
Government  Regulations”  and  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—
Regulatory Changes.”

Rehabilitation Hospital Strategy

The key elements of our rehabilitation hospital strategy are to:

Focus on Specialized Inpatient Services. We serve patients with debilitating injuries and rehabilitation needs that cannot 
be adequately cared for in a less medically intensive environment, such as a skilled nursing facility. Generally, patients in our 
rehabilitation  hospitals  require  longer  stays  and  can  benefit  from  more  specialized  and  intensive  clinical  care  than  patients 
treated in general acute care hospitals and require more intensive therapy than that provided in outpatient rehabilitation clinics.

Provide  High-Quality  Care  and  Service.  Our  rehabilitation  hospitals  serve  a  critical  role  in  comprehensive  healthcare 
delivery.  Through  our  specialized  treatment  programs  and  staffing  models,  we  treat  patients  with  complex  and  specialized 
medical  needs.  Our  specialized  treatment  programs  focus  on  specific  patient  needs  and  medical  conditions,  such  as 
rehabilitation programs for brain trauma and spinal cord injuries. We also focus on specific programs of care designed to restore 
strength, improve physical and cognitive function, and promote independence in activities of daily living for patients who have 
suffered complications from strokes, amputations, cancer, and neurological and orthopedic conditions. Our staffing models seek 
to  ensure  that  patients  have  the  appropriate  clinical  resources  over  the  course  of  their  stay.  We  maintain  quality  assurance 
programs  to  support  and  monitor  quality  of  care  standards  and  to  meet  regulatory  requirements  and  maintain  Medicare 
certifications. We believe that we are recognized for providing quality care and service, which helps develop brand loyalty in 
the local areas we serve.

Our treatment programs, which are continuously reassessed and updated, benefit patients because they give our clinicians 
access to the best practices and protocols that we have found to be most effective in treating various conditions such as brain 
and spinal cord injuries, strokes, and neuromuscular disorders. In addition, we combine or modify these programs to provide a 
treatment plan tailored to meet our patients’ unique needs. We measure the outcomes and successes of our patients’ recovery in 
order to provide the best possible patient care and service.

Our  rehabilitation  hospitals  demonstrated  a  critical  role  in  caring  for  patients  during  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  Our 
rehabilitation hospitals were and continue to be in a position to enhance and promote recovery of patients with COVID-19, as 
many  patients  with  severe  manifestations  of  COVID-19  suffer  from  complex  medical  conditions  and  severe  deconditioning. 
Our rehabilitation hospitals demonstrated rapid preparation and implementation of modifications that supported the treatment of 
active  COVID-19  patients  and  patients  recovering  from  moderate-to-severe  response  to  COVID-19  infection.  We  have 
demonstrated that our rehabilitation hospitals can support short term acute care hospitals in regions as a post-ICU provider for 
patients who require specialized therapies while recovering from severe complications from COVID-19.  

The quality of the patient care we provide is continually monitored using several measures, including clinical outcomes 
data and analyses and patient satisfaction surveys. Quality metrics from our rehabilitation hospitals are used to create monthly, 
quarterly, and annual reporting for our leadership team. In order to benchmark ourselves against other hospitals, we collect our 
clinical  and  patient  satisfaction  information  and  compare  it  to  national  standards  and  the  results  of  other  healthcare 
organizations. We are required to report quality measures to individual states based on unique requirements and laws. We also 
submit  required  quality  data  elements  to  CMS.  See  “—Government  Regulations—Other  Medicare  Regulations—Medicare 
Quality Reporting.”

Control  Operating  Costs.  We  continually  seek  to  improve  operating  efficiency  and  control  costs  at  our  rehabilitation 

hospitals by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:

•

•

•

centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, finance, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human 
resources, compliance, and billing and collection;

standardizing  management  information  systems  to  assist  in  capturing  the  medical  record,  accounting,  billing, 
collections, and data capture and analysis; and

centralizing  sourcing  and  contracting  to  receive  discounted  prices  for  pharmaceuticals,  medical  supplies,  and  other 
commodities used in our operations.

Increase Commercial Volume. We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to 
increase our volume of patients with commercial insurance in our rehabilitation hospitals. We believe that commercial payors 
seek  to  contract  with  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  because  we  offer  our  patients  high-quality,  cost-effective  care  at  more 
attractive  rates  than  general  acute  care  hospitals.  We  also  offer  commercial  enrollees  customized  and  comprehensive 
rehabilitation treatment programs not typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

Table of Contents

Develop  Rehabilitation  Hospitals  through  Pursuing  Joint  Ventures  with  Large  Healthcare  Systems.  By  leveraging  the 
experience of our senior management and development team, we believe that we are well positioned to expand our portfolio of 
joint ventured operations. When we identify joint venture opportunities, our development team conducts an extensive review of 
the area’s referral patterns and commercial insurance rates to determine the general reimbursement trends and payor mix. Once 
discussions commence with a healthcare system, we refine the specific needs of a joint venture, which could include working 
capital, the construction of new space, or the leasing and renovation of existing space. A joint venture typically consists of us 
and the healthcare system contributing certain post-acute care businesses into a newly formed entity. We typically function as 
the manager and hold either a majority or minority ownership interest. We bring clinical expertise and clinical programs that 
attract  commercial  payors  and  implement  our  standardized  resource  management  programs,  which  may  improve  the  clinical 
outcome and enhance the financial performance of the joint venture.

Pursue  Opportunistic  Acquisitions.  We  may  grow  our  network  of  rehabilitation  hospitals  through  opportunistic 
acquisitions. When we acquire a rehabilitation hospital or a group of related facilities, a team of our professionals is responsible 
for  formulating  and  executing  an  integration  plan.  We  seek  to  improve  financial  performance  at  such  facilities  by  adding 
clinical  programs  that  attract  commercial  payors,  centralizing  administrative  functions,  and  implementing  our  standardized 
resource management programs.

Outpatient Rehabilitation

We  are  the  largest  operator  of  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  in  the  United  States  based  on  number  of  facilities,  with 
1,788 facilities throughout 37 states and the District of Columbia as of December 31, 2020. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics 
are  typically  located  in  a  medical  complex  or  retail  location.  Our  outpatient  rehabilitation  segment  employed  approximately 
10,400 people as of December 31, 2020.

In  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics,  we  provide  physical,  occupational,  and  speech  rehabilitation  programs  and 
services.  We  also  provide  certain  specialized  programs  such  as  functional  programs  for  work  related  injuries,  hand  therapy, 
post-concussion  rehabilitation,  pediatric  rehabilitation,  cancer  rehabilitation,  and  athletic  training  services.  In  2020,  we 
developed and launched our national Recovery and Reconditioning program design to rehabilitate those patients suffering side 
effects  from  COVID-19.  The  typical  patient  in  one  of  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  suffers  from  musculoskeletal 
impairments that restrict his or her ability to perform normal activities of daily living. These impairments are often associated 
with  accidents,  sports  injuries,  work  related  injuries,  or  post-operative  orthopedic  and  other  medical  conditions.  Our 
rehabilitation  programs  and  services  are  designed  to  help  these  patients  minimize  physical  and  cognitive  impairments  and 
maximize  functional  ability.  We  also  provide  services  designed  to  prevent  short  term  disabilities  from  becoming  chronic 
conditions.  Our  rehabilitation  services  are  provided  by  our  professionals  including  licensed  physical  therapists,  occupational 
therapists, and speech-language pathologists.

Outpatient  rehabilitation  patients  are  generally  referred  or  directed  to  our  clinics  by  a  physician,  employer,  or  health 
insurer  who  believes  that  a  patient,  employee,  or  member  can  benefit  from  the  level  of  therapy  we  provide  in  an  outpatient 
setting. Although individuals in all states may have some form of direct access to physical therapy services, the level of direct 
access varies based on provisions and limitations in each jurisdiction. In recent years, all states have enacted laws that allow 
individuals  to  seek  outpatient  physical  rehabilitation  services  without  a  physician  order.  In  our  outpatient  rehabilitation 
segment, for the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 83% of our revenue come from commercial payors, including 
healthcare insurers, managed care organizations, workers’ compensation programs, contract management services, and private 
pay sources. We believe that our services are attractive to healthcare payors who are seeking to provide high-quality and cost-
effective care to their enrollees. The balance of our reimbursement is derived from Medicare and other government sponsored 
programs.

For  a  description  of  government  regulations  and  Medicare  payments  made  to  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  services,  see 
“—Government Regulations” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—
Regulatory Changes.”

Outpatient Rehabilitation Strategy

The key elements of our outpatient rehabilitation strategy are to:

Provide High-Quality Care and Service. We are focused on providing a high level of service to our patients throughout 
their  entire  course  of  treatment.  To  measure  satisfaction  with  our  service  we  have  developed  surveys  for  both  patients  and 
physicians. Our clinics utilize the feedback from these surveys to continuously refine and improve service levels. We believe 
that  by  focusing  on  quality  care  and  offering  a  high  level  of  customer  service  we  develop  brand  loyalty  which  allows  us  to 
strengthen our relationships with referring physicians, employers, and health insurers to drive additional patient volume.

Table of Contents

Increase  Market  Share.  We  strive  to  establish  a  leading  presence  within  the  local  areas  we  serve.  To  increase  our 
presence, we seek to open new clinics in our existing markets. We have also entered into joint ventures with hospital systems 
that  have  resulted  in  an  increase  in  the  number  of  facilities  that  we  operate.  This  allows  us  to  realize  economies  of  scale, 
heightened brand loyalty, and workforce continuity. We also focus on increasing our workers’ compensation and commercial/
managed care payor mix.

Expand  Rehabilitation  Programs  and  Services.  Through  our  local  clinical  directors  of  operations  and  clinic  managers 
within  their  service  areas,  we  assess  the  healthcare  needs  of  the  areas  we  serve.  Based  on  these  assessments,  we  implement 
additional programs and services (such as telehealth) specifically targeted to meet demand in the local community. In designing 
these  programs  we  benefit  from  the  knowledge  we  gain  through  our  national  network  of  clinics.  This  knowledge  is  used  to 
design  programs  that  optimize  treatment  methods  and  measure  changes  in  health  status,  clinical  outcomes,  and  patient 
satisfaction.

Optimize  Payor  Contract  Reimbursements.  We  review  payor  contracts  scheduled  for  renewal  and  potential  new  payor 
contracts  to  assure  reasonable  reimbursements  for  the  services  we  provide.  Before  we  enter  into  a  new  contract  with  a 
commercial  payor,  we  assess  the  reasonableness  of  the  reimbursements  by  analyzing  past  and  projected  patient  volume  and 
clinic capacity. We create a retention strategy for the top performing contracts and a renegotiation strategy for contracts that do 
not meet our defined criteria. We believe that our national footprint and our strong reputation enable us to negotiate favorable 
reimbursement rates with commercial insurers.

Maintain Strong Community and Employee Relations. We believe that the relationships between our employees and the 
referral  sources  in  their  communities  are  critical  to  our  success.  Our  referral  sources,  such  as  physicians  and  healthcare  case 
managers, send their patients to our clinics based on three factors: the quality of our care, the customer service we provide, and 
their familiarity with our therapists. We seek to retain and motivate our therapists by implementing a performance-based bonus 
program, a defined career path with the ability to be promoted from within, timely communication on company developments, 
and  internal  training  programs.  We  also  focus  on  empowering  our  employees  by  giving  them  a  high  degree  of  autonomy  in 
determining local area strategy. We seek to identify therapists who are potential business leaders. This management approach 
reflects the unique nature of each local area in which we operate and the importance of encouraging our employees to assume 
responsibility for their clinic’s financial and operational performance.

Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions. We may grow our network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities through opportunistic 
acquisitions.  We  believe  our  size  and  centralized  infrastructure  allow  us  to  take  advantage  of  operational  efficiencies  and 
improve financial performance at acquired facilities.

Concentra

We are the largest provider of occupational health services in the United States based on the number of facilities. As of 
December 31, 2020, we operated 517 occupational health centers and 134 onsite clinics at employer worksites throughout 42 
states. In some of our occupational health centers we also provide urgent care services. On September 1, 2020, Concentra sold 
its Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic (“CBOC”) business. We deliver occupational medicine, 
consumer health, physical therapy, and wellness services in our occupational health centers and our onsite clinics located at the 
workplaces  of  our  employer  customers.  Our  Concentra  segment  employed  approximately  10,800  people  as  of  December  31, 
2020.

We offer a range of occupational and consumer health services through our occupational health centers and onsite clinics. 
Occupational health services include workers’ compensation injury care as well as employer services, clinical testing, wellness 
programs, and preventative care. Consumer health consists of non-employer, patient-directed treatment of injuries and illnesses. 
Our consumer health service offerings include urgent care, wellness programs, and preventative care.

Occupational medicine refers to the diagnosis and treatment of work-related injuries (workers’ compensation), compliance 
services, such as preventive services, including pre-employment, fitness-for-duty, and post-accident physical examinations and 
substance abuse screening. Utilization is driven by the needs of labor-intensive industries such as transportation, distribution/
warehousing, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, police/fire, and other occupations that have historically posed a higher 
than average risk of workplace injury or that require a workplace physical. Workers’ compensation is the form of insurance that 
provides medical coverage to employees with work-related illnesses or injuries.

9

Table of Contents

Workers’  compensation  is  administered  on  a  state-by-state  basis  and  each  state  is  responsible  for  implementing  and 
regulating its own workers’ compensation program. Because workers’ compensation benefits are mandated by law and subject 
to extensive regulation, insurers, third-party administrators, and employers do not have the same flexibility to alter benefits as 
they have with other health benefit programs. In addition, because programs vary by state, it is difficult for insurance companies 
and multi-state employers to adopt uniform policies to administer, manage, and control the costs of benefits across states. As a 
result, managing the cost of workers’ compensation requires approaches that are tailored to the specific regulatory environments 
in which the employer operates. For the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 56% of our Concentra segment revenue 
came from workers’ compensation payments.

Acquisition of Additional Membership Interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent

On  January  1,  2020,  February  1,  2020  and  December  31,  2020,  Select  acquired  an  aggregate  amount  of  approximately 
30% of outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, a joint venture subsidiary of Select, on a fully 
diluted  basis  from  Welsh,  Carson,  Anderson  &  Stowe  XII,  L.P.  (“WCAS”),  Dignity  Health  Holding  Corporation  (“DHHC”) 
and  certain  other  sellers,  in  exchange  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  approximately  $576.4  million  (collectively,  the 
“Concentra  Interest  Purchases”).  Upon  consummation  of  the  Concentra  Interest  Purchases,  Select  owns  in  the  aggregate 
approximately 78.0% of the outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent on a fully diluted basis and 
approximately 79.8% of the outstanding voting membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent.

Concentra Strategy

The key elements of our Concentra strategy are to:

Provide  High-Quality  Care  and  Service.  We  strive  to  provide  a  high  level  of  service  to  our  patients  and  our  employer 
customers.  We  measure  and  monitor  patient  and  employer  satisfaction  and  focus  on  treatment  programs  to  provide  the  best 
clinical outcomes in a consistent manner. Our programs and services have proven that aggressive treatment and management of 
workers  injuries  can  more  rapidly  restore  employees  to  better  health  which  reduces  workers’  compensation  indemnity  claim 
costs for our employer customers.

Focus  on  Occupational  Medicine.  Our  history  as  an  industry  leader  in  the  provision  of  occupational  medicine  services 
provides  the  platform  for  Concentra  to  grow  this  service  offering.  Complementary  service  offerings  help  drive  additional 
growth in this business line.

Pursue Direct Employer Relationships. We believe we provide occupational health services in a cost-effective manner to 
our  employer  customers.  By  establishing  direct  relationships  with  these  customers,  we  seek  to  reduce  overall  costs  of  their 
workers’ compensation claims, while improving employee health, and getting their employees back to work faster.

Increase  Presence  in  the  Areas  We  Serve.  We  strive  to  establish  a  strong  presence  within  the  local  areas  we  serve.  To 
increase our presence, we seek to expand our services and programs and to open new occupational health centers and employer 
onsite locations. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty, and workforce continuity.

Pursue  Opportunistic  Acquisitions.  We  may  grow  our  network  and  expand  our  geographic  reach  through  opportunistic 
acquisitions.  We  believe  our  size  and  centralized  infrastructure  allow  us  to  take  advantage  of  operational  efficiencies  and 
improve financial performance at acquired facilities.

Other

Other activities include our corporate administration and shared services, as well as employee leasing services with our 
non-consolidating  subsidiaries.  We  also  hold  minority  investments  in  other  healthcare  related  businesses.  These  include 
investments  in  companies  that  provide  specialized  technology  and  services  to  healthcare  entities,  as  well  as  providers  of 
complementary services.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the success of our business model is based on a number of competitive strengths, including our position as 
a  leading  operator  in  each  of  our  business  segments,  our  proven  financial  performance,  our  strong  cash  flow,  our  significant 
scale, our experience in completing and integrating acquisitions, our partnerships with large healthcare systems, our ability to 
capitalize on consolidation opportunities, and our experienced management team.

Leading  Operator  in  Distinct  but  Complementary  Lines  of  Business.  We  believe  that  we  are  a  leading  operator  in  our 
business segments based on number of facilities in the United States. Our leadership position and reputation as a high-quality, 
cost-effective healthcare provider in each of our business segments allows us to attract patients and employees, aids us in our 
marketing efforts to referral sources, and helps us negotiate payor contracts. In our critical illness recovery hospital segment, we 
operated 99 critical illness recovery hospitals in 28 states as of December 31, 2020. In our rehabilitation hospital segment, we 
operated 30 rehabilitation hospitals in 12 states as of December 31, 2020. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, we operated 
1,788  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  in  37  states  and  the  District  of  Columbia  as  of  December  31,  2020.  In  our  Concentra 
segment, we operated 517 occupational health centers in 41 states as of December 31, 2020. With these leading positions in the 
areas we serve, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for medical services due to an aging 
population in the United States, which will drive growth across our business segments.

Proven  Financial  Performance  and  Strong  Cash  Flow.  We  have  established  a  track  record  of  improving  the  financial 
performance of our facilities due to our disciplined approach to revenue growth, expense management, and focus on free cash 
flow generation. This includes regular review of specific financial metrics of our business to determine trends in our revenue 
generation, expenses, billing, and cash collection. Based on the ongoing analysis of such trends, we make adjustments to our 
operations to optimize our financial performance and cash flow.

Significant  Scale.  By  building  significant  scale  in  each  of  our  business  segments,  we  have  been  able  to  leverage  our 

operating costs by centralizing administrative functions at our corporate office.

Experience  in  Successfully  Completing  and  Integrating  Acquisitions.    Since  our  inception  in  1997  through  2020,  we 
completed  ten  significant  acquisitions,  including  the  acquisitions  of  Physiotherapy,  Concentra,  and  U.S.  HealthWorks.  We 
believe  that  we  have  improved  the  operating  performance  of  these  businesses  over  time  by  applying  our  standard  operating 
practices and by realizing efficiencies from our centralized operations and management.

Experience  in  Partnering  with  Large  Healthcare  Systems.  Over  the  past  several  years  we  have  partnered  with  large 
healthcare systems to provide post-acute care services. We believe that we provide operating expertise to these ventures through 
our experience in operating critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, and outpatient rehabilitation facilities and 
have  improved  and  expanded  the  level  of  post-acute  care  services  provided  in  these  communities,  as  well  as  the  financial 
performance of these operations.

Well-Positioned  to  Capitalize  on  Consolidation  Opportunities.  We  believe  that  we  are  well-positioned  to  capitalize  on 
consolidation opportunities within each of our business segments and selectively augment our internal growth. We believe that 
each of our business segments is largely fragmented, with many of the nation’s critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation 
hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and occupational health centers operated by independent operators lacking national 
or  broad  regional  scope.  With  our  geographically  diversified  portfolio  of  facilities  in  the  United  States,  we  believe  that  our 
footprint provides us with a wide-ranging perspective on multiple potential acquisition opportunities.

Experienced and Proven Management Team. Prior to co-founding our company with our current Executive Chairman and 
Co-Founder, our Vice Chairman and Co-Founder founded and operated three other healthcare companies focused on inpatient 
and outpatient rehabilitation services. The other members of our senior management team also have extensive experience in the 
healthcare industry, with an average of almost 25 years in the business. In recent years, we have reorganized our operations to 
expand executive talent and promote management continuity.

Government Sources

Medicare  is  a  federal  program  that  provides  medical  insurance  benefits  to  persons  age  65  and  over,  some  disabled 
persons,  and  persons  with  end-stage  renal  disease.  Medicaid  is  a  federal-state  funded  program,  administered  by  the  states, 
which provides medical benefits to individuals who are unable to afford healthcare. As of December 31, 2020, we operated 99 
critical  illness  recovery  hospitals,  all  of  which  were  certified  by  Medicare  as  LTCHs.  Also  as  of  December  31,  2020,  we 
operated  30  rehabilitation  hospitals,  all  of  which  were  certified  by  Medicare  as  IRFs.  Our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics 
regularly  receive  Medicare  payments  for  their  services.  Additionally,  many  of  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and 
rehabilitation hospitals participate in state Medicaid programs. Amounts received under the Medicare and Medicaid programs 
are  generally  less  than  the  customary  charges  for  the  services  provided.  In  recent  years,  there  have  been  significant  changes 
made to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Since a significant portion of our revenues come from patients covered under the 
Medicare program, our ability to operate our business successfully in the future will depend in large measure on our ability to 
adapt  to  changes  in  the  Medicare  program.  See  “—Government  Regulations—Overview  of  U.S.  and  State  Government 
Reimbursements.”

Non-Government Sources

Our  non-government  sources  of  revenue  include  insurance  companies,  workers’  compensation  programs,  health 
maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other managed care companies, and employers, as well as patients 
directly. 

Employees

As  of  December  31,  2020,  we  employed  approximately  49,600  people  throughout  the  United  States.  Approximately 
35,100  of  our  employees  are  full-time  and  the  remaining  approximately  14,500  are  part-time  employees.  Our  critical  illness 
recovery  hospital  segment  employees  totaled  approximately  14,700,  rehabilitation  hospital  segment  employees  totaled 
approximately  11,500,  outpatient  rehabilitation  segment  employees  totaled  approximately  10,400,  and  Concentra  segment 
employees totaled approximately 10,800. Approximately 2,200 of the remaining employees performed corporate management, 
administration, and other support services primarily at our Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania headquarters.

Human Capital Management

Select  Medical  developed  a  cultural  framework  we  call  “The  Select  Medical  Way.”  One  of  the  key  tenants  of  this 
framework  is  to  deliver  a  superior  employee  experience.  We  devote  considerable  time  and  resources  to  attract,  engage  and 
retain talented employees to successfully operate our business and achieve our goals.  Each of the key areas on which we focus 
to achieve our human capital objectives is described below.

Talent Acquisition and Retention

We  have  several  key  strategies  to  attract  and  hire  top  talent  across  the  markets  that  we  serve.  These  strategies  include 
robust  referral  programs,  recruitment  marketing  through  social  media  and  our  internal  campaign  technology,  promotion  of 
virtual  hiring  events  and  partnering  with  local  nursing  schools  for  clinical  rotations  and  new  graduate  nursing  and  therapy 
programs.    Our  recruitment  and  selection  processes  seek  to  ensure  that  we  hire  employees  who  have  the  level  of  education, 
experience  and  professional  licensure  that  align  with  the  organization’s  strategic  objectives.  We  have  developed  several 
programs  to  advance  technical  and  clinical  skills,  enable  career  growth  and  improve  retention  for  clinical  and  operational 
employees.  Using our online platform, Select University, we have developed an extensive catalog of online learning classes for 
both instructor-led and asynchronous learning covering technical, professional and management-related topics. In addition, to 
promote  business  continuity,  we  create  specific  succession  plans  for  our  key  operational  and  support  management  and 
executive positions.  

Diversity and Inclusion

We strive to foster a culture of inclusion and equality. Our employees and patients are a valued and integral part of our 
organization, and we stand in solidarity with those who respect and share our values, care for others and condemn racism. We 
are  committed  to  providing  regular  employee  education  and  training  on  respect,  equality,  empathy  and  compassion,  and  we 
evaluate and update these resources on an ongoing basis. Additionally, any agency or contracted individual working within our 
facilities receives orientation and training on our expectations and standards for care. We take pride in our recruitment efforts 
that seek to attract the best and brightest talent from around the country. We are committed to having a workforce that reflects 
diversity at all levels, and we partner with several organizations to help attract diverse talent. In order to help us achieve these 
goals,  we  have  established  a  diversity  task  force  that  oversees  affirmative  action  planning  and  provides  strategic 
recommendations to help ensure our goals for a diverse and inclusive workplace remain robust and actionable.

Employee Engagement and Wellness

We  demonstrate  our  care  for  our  employees  through  our  safety,  benefit  and  employee  resource  programs.  We  strive  to 
create and sustain a culture of employee safety in each of our facilities. We have a implemented a communications tool, the 
“10-Foot Circle of Employee Safety,” to help leaders and staff focus on areas of our work which cause workplace injuries. This 
program  has  resulted  in  significant  reductions  of  employee  injuries  at  work.  We  have  also  implemented  an  Employee 
Assistance  Program  (“EAP”)  which  has  become  a  valuable  resource  for  employees  needing  no  cost  or  low  cost  counseling/
mental health services, legal support, or family assistance. Our EAP provides access to resources for individuals dealing with 
grief,  anxiety,  and  other  concerns  relevant  to  and  at  the  forefront  of  our  communities.  We  offer  robust  benefit  programming 
with  health  coaching  on  diverse  topics  like  weight  management,  smoking  cessation,  and  maintaining  and  improving  health 
goals, and we offer training to our employees to help them develop their skills.  We also provide surveys to our employees that 
are focused on areas such as employee engagement, operational reliability and suggestions for improvement. Additionally, we 
offer  extensive  supportive  programs  to  individuals  facing  serious  health  concerns,  including  but  not  limited  to,  high  blood 
pressure/heart conditions, diabetes and cancer.

Workforce Compensation and Pay Equity

We  provide  competitive  compensation  and  benefits,  including  a  retirement  savings  plan  with  matching  opportunities, 
comprehensive healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off and family leave. 
We  have  key  processes  that  seek  to  ensure  our  pay  and  benefits  remain  competitive  across  all  of  our  disciplines.  Using  an 
electronic  platform  for  both  performance  reviews  and  compensation  review,  each  employee’s  performance  assessment  and 
compensation go through multiple layers of review annually to promote equitable, market competitive and performance-based 
compensation.  For  external  benchmarking,    we  use  third  party  commercially  available  compensation  surveys,  as  well  as  the 
Department of Labor wage data. 

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Our industry has been on the front line in the battle against COVID-19. This has resulted in a high demand for registered 
nurses and respiratory therapists, which in turn has placed increased pressure on the importance of recruiting and retaining high 
quality  employees.  We  have  taken  several  steps  in  response  to  these  demands  to  achieve  our  human  capital  objectives, 
including increased incentives for staff in markets that have been particularly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, employee 
re-assignments and furloughs in segments of our business that have seen a significant drop in patient volume as the result of the 
COVID-19  pandemic  and  providing  a  meaningful  amount  of  paid  time  off  for  employees  who  cannot  work  for  COVID-19 
related reasons.

Competition

Critical Illness Recovery Hospitals and Rehabilitation Hospitals 

Our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  both  compete  on  the  basis  of  the  quality  of  the 
patient services we provide, the outcomes we achieve for our patients, and the prices we charge for our services. The primary 
competitive  factors  in  both  of  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  and  rehabilitation  hospital  segments  include  quality  of 
services, charges for services, and responsiveness to the needs of patients, families, payors, and physicians. Other companies 
operate  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and  rehabilitation  hospitals  that  compete  with  our  own  hospitals,  including  large 
operators of similar facilities, such as Kindred Healthcare, LLC and Encompass Health Corporation, and rehabilitation units and 
step-down units operated by acute care hospitals in the markets we serve. The competitive position of a critical illness recovery 
hospital or a rehabilitation hospital is also affected by the ability of its management to negotiate contracts with purchasers of 
group healthcare services, including private employers, managed care companies, preferred provider organizations, and health 
maintenance organizations. Such organizations attempt to obtain discounts from established critical illness recovery hospital or 
rehabilitation hospital charges. The importance of obtaining contracts with preferred provider organizations, health maintenance 
organizations,  and  other  organizations  which  finance  healthcare,  and  its  effect  on  a  critical  illness  recovery  hospital’s  or 
rehabilitation  hospital’s  competitive  position,  vary  from  area  to  area  depending  on  the  number  and  strength  of  such 
organizations.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinics

Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face a highly fragmented and competitive environment. The primary competitors that 
provide  outpatient  rehabilitation  services  include  physician-owned  physical  therapy  clinics,  dedicated  locally  owned  and 
managed  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics,  and  hospital  or  university  owned  or  affiliated  ventures,  as  well  as  national  and 
regional  providers  in  select  areas,  including  Athletico  Physical  Therapy,  ATI  Physical  Therapy,  U.S.  Physical  Therapy,  and 
Upstream Rehabilitation. Some of these competing clinics have longer operating histories and greater name recognition in these 
communities than our clinics, and they may have stronger relations with physicians in these communities on whom we rely for 
patient referrals. Because the barriers to entry are not substantial and current customers have the flexibility to move easily to 
new healthcare service providers, we believe that new outpatient physical therapy competitors can emerge relatively quickly.

Concentra

Our  Concentra  segment’s  occupational  health  services  and  consumer  health  businesses  face  a  highly  fragmented  and 
competitive environment. The primary competitors that provide occupational health services have typically been independent 
physicians, hospital emergency departments, and hospital-owned or hospital-affiliated medical facilities. Because the barriers to 
entry  are  not  substantial  and  Concentra’s  current  customers  have  the  flexibility  to  move  easily  to  new  healthcare  service 
providers, we believe that new competitors to Concentra can emerge relatively quickly. Furthermore, urgent care clinics in the 
local communities Concentra serves provide services similar to those Concentra offers, and, in some cases, competing facilities 
are more established or newer than Concentra’s, may offer a broader array of services to patients than Concentra’s, and may 
have larger or more specialized medical staffs to treat and serve patients. 

Government Regulations

General

The  healthcare  industry  is  required  to  comply  with  many  complex  laws  and  regulations  at  the  federal,  state,  and  local 
government  levels.  These  laws  and  regulations  require  that  hospitals  and  facilities  furnishing  outpatient  services  (including 
outpatient rehabilitation clinics, Concentra occupational health centers and onsite clinics) comply with various requirements and 
standards.  These  laws  and  regulations  include  those  relating  to  the  adequacy  of  medical  care,  facilities  and  equipment, 
personnel,  operating  policies  and  procedures,  and  recordkeeping,  as  well  as  standards  for  reimbursement,  fraud  and  abuse 
prevention, and health information privacy and security. These laws and regulations are extremely complex, often overlap and, 
in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. If we fail to comply 
with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of our licenses to operate 
and our ability to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal and state healthcare programs.

14

Table of Contents

Facility Licensure

Our  healthcare  facilities  are  subject  to  state  and  local  licensing  statutes  and  regulations  ranging  from  the  adequacy  of 
medical care to compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. In order to assure continued compliance 
with these various regulations, governmental and other authorities periodically inspect our facilities, both at scheduled intervals 
and in response to complaints from patients and others. While our facilities intend to comply with existing licensing standards, 
there can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met at any given 
time. In addition, the state and local licensing laws are subject to changes or new interpretations that could impose additional 
burdens on our facilities. A determination by an applicable regulatory authority that a facility is not in compliance with these 
requirements could lead to the imposition of corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of licensure, Medicare 
enrollment, certification or accreditation. These consequences could have an adverse effect on our company.

Some  states  require  us  to  get  approval  under  certificate  of  need  regulations  when  we  create,  acquire,  or  expand  our 
facilities or services, or alter the ownership of such facilities, whether directly or indirectly. The certificate of need regulations 
vary from state to state, and are subject to change and new interpretation. If we fail to show public need and obtain approval in 
these states for our new facilities or changes to the ownership structure of existing facilities, we may be subject to civil or even 
criminal penalties, lose our facility license, or become ineligible for reimbursement.

Professional Licensure, Corporate Practice and Fee-Splitting Laws

Healthcare professionals at our critical illness recovery hospitals, our rehabilitation hospitals, and our facilities furnishing 
outpatient services are required to be individually licensed or certified under applicable state law. We take steps to help ensure  
our employees and agents possess all necessary licenses and certifications.

Some states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts business corporations from practicing medicine 
through  the  direct  employment  of  physicians  or  from  exercising  control  over  medical  decisions  by  physicians.  Some  states 
similarly prohibit the “corporate practice of therapy.” The laws relating to corporate practice vary from state to state and are not 
fully developed in each state in which we have facilities. Typically, however, professional corporations owned and controlled 
by  licensed  professionals  are  exempt  from  corporate  practice  restrictions  and  may  employ  physicians  or  therapists  to  furnish 
professional services. Also, in some states, hospitals are permitted to employ physicians.

Some states also prohibit entities from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians or 
therapists.  The  laws  relating  to  fee-splitting  also  vary  from  state  to  state  and  are  not  fully  developed.  Generally,  these  laws 
restrict  business  arrangements  that  involve  a  physician  or  therapist  sharing  medical  fees  with  a  referral  source,  but  in  some 
states  these  laws  have  been  interpreted  to  extend  to  management  agreements  between  physicians  or  therapists  and  business 
entities under some circumstances.

We believe that each of our facilities, licensed physicians, and therapists comply with any current corporate practice and 
fee-splitting laws of the state in which they are located. In states where we are prohibited by the corporate practice of medicine 
from  directly  employing  licensed  physicians,  we  typically  enter  into  management  agreements  with  professional  corporations 
that  are  owned  by  licensed  physicians,  which,  in  turn,  employ  or  contract  with  physicians  who  provide  professional  medical 
services in our facilities. Under those management agreements, we perform only non-medical administrative services, do not 
exercise  control  over  the  practice  of  medicine  by  the  physicians,  and  structure  compensation  to  avoid  fee-splitting.  In  those 
states  that  apply  the  corporate  practice  of  therapy  prohibition,  we  either  contract  to  obtain  therapy  services  from  an  entity 
permitted  to  employ  therapists  or  we  manage  the  physical  therapy  practice  owned  by  licensed  therapists  through  which  the 
therapy services are provided.

Although we believe that our facilities comply with corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, if new regulations or judicial 
or  administrative  interpretations  establish  that  our  facilities  do  not  comply  with  these  laws,  we  could  be  subject  to  civil  and 
perhaps  criminal  penalties.  In  addition,  if  any  of  our  facilities  is  determined  not  to  comply  with  corporate  practice  and  fee-
splitting  laws,  certain  of  our  agreements  relating  to  the  facility  may  be  determined  to  be  unenforceable,  including  our 
management  agreements  with  the  professional  corporations  furnishing  physician  services  or  our  payment  arrangements  with 
insurers or employers. Future interpretations of corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, the enactment of new legislation, or 
the adoption of new regulations relating to these laws could cause us to have to restructure our business operations or close our 
facilities in a particular state. Any such penalties, determinations of unenforceability, or interpretations could have a material 
adverse effect on our business.

Medicare Enrollment and Certification

In order to participate in the Medicare program and receive Medicare reimbursement, each facility must comply with the 
applicable regulations of the United States Department of Health and Human Services relating to, among other things, the type 
of facility, its equipment, its personnel, and its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all applicable state and 
local laws and regulations. As of December 31, 2020, all of the critical illness recovery hospitals we operated were certified by 
Medicare as LTCHs. As of December 31, 2020, all of the rehabilitation hospitals we operated were certified by Medicare as 
IRFs.  In  addition,  we  provide  the  majority  of  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  services  through  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics 
certified by Medicare as rehabilitation agencies or “rehab agencies,” which operate as outpatient rehabilitation providers for the 
purposes  of  the  Medicare  program.  Our  Concentra  occupational  health  centers  furnishing  outpatient  services  are  generally 
enrolled in Medicare as suppliers.

Accreditation

Our critical illness recovery hospitals and our rehabilitation hospitals receive accreditation from TJC, DNV and/or CARF. 
As of December 31, 2020, all of the 99 critical illness recovery hospitals and all of the 30 rehabilitation hospitals we operated 
were accredited by TJC or DNV. In addition, 12 of our rehabilitation hospitals have also received accreditation from CARF. 

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is a state mandated, comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to fund or insure 
medical  expenses,  lost  wages,  and  other  costs  resulting  from  work  related  injuries  and  illnesses.  Workers’  compensation 
benefits and arrangements vary from state to state, and are often highly complex. In some states, payment for services covered 
by  workers’  compensation  programs  are  subject  to  cost  containment  features,  such  as  requirements  that  all  workers’ 
compensation  injuries  be  treated  through  a  managed  care  program,  or  the  imposition  of  fee  schedules  or  payment  caps  for 
services furnished to injured employees. Some state workers’ compensation laws limit the ability of an employer to select the 
providers  furnishing  care  to  injured  employees.  Several  states  require  that  physicians  furnishing  non-emergency  services  to 
workers’  compensation  patients  must  register  with  the  applicable  state  agency  and  undergo  special  continuing  education  and 
training.  Workers’  compensation  programs  may  also  impose  other  requirements  that  affect  the  operations  of  our  facilities 
furnishing  outpatient  services.  Revenue  generated  directly  from  workers’  compensation  programs  represented  approximately 
19% of our revenue from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, 1% of our revenue from our critical illness recovery hospital 
segment, 2% of our revenue from our rehabilitation hospital segment, and 56% of our revenue from our Concentra segment for 
the year ended December 31, 2020.

Our facilities furnishing outpatient services are reimbursed for services furnished to injured workers by payors pursuant to 
the applicable state workers’ compensation statutes. Most of the states in which we maintain operations reimburse providers for 
services  payable  under  workers’  compensation  laws  pursuant  to  a  treatment-specific  fee  schedule  with  established  maximum 
reimbursement  levels.  In  states  without  such  fee  schedules,  healthcare  providers  are  often  reimbursed  based  on  “usual  and 
customary” fees benchmarked by market data and negotiated by providers with payors and networks.

Inadequate increases to the applicable fee schedule amounts for our services, and changes in state workers’ compensation 
laws, including cost containment initiatives, could have a negative impact on the operations and financial performance of those 
facilities.

Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements

Medicare Program in General

The  Medicare  program  reimburses  healthcare  providers  for  services  furnished  to  Medicare  beneficiaries,  which  are 
generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The 
program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the Department of Health and Human 
Services and CMS. The table below shows the percentage of revenue generated directly from the Medicare program for each of 
our segments and our company as a whole for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Table of Contents

The  Medicare  program  reimburses  various  types  of  providers,  including  LTCHs,  IRFs,  and  outpatient  rehabilitation 
providers,  using  different  payment  methodologies.  The  Medicare  reimbursement  systems  specific  to  LTCHs,  IRFs,  and 
outpatient rehabilitation providers, as described herein, are different than the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. 
If  any  of  our  hospitals  fail  to  comply  with  requirements  for  payment  under  Medicare  reimbursement  systems  for  LTCHs  or 
IRFs, as applicable, that hospital will be paid under the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. For general acute care 
hospitals, Medicare payments for inpatient care are made under the inpatient prospective payment system (“IPPS”) under which 
a  hospital  receives  a  fixed  payment  amount  per  discharge  (adjusted  for  area  wage  differences)  using  Medicare  severity 
diagnosis-related  groups  (“MS-DRGs”).  The  general  acute  care  hospital  MS-DRG  payment  rate  is  based  upon  the  national 
average cost of treating a Medicare patient’s condition, based on severity levels of illness, in that type of facility. Although the 
average length of stay varies for each MS-DRG, the average stay of all Medicare patients in a general acute care hospital is 
substantially less than the average length of stay in LTCHs and IRFs. Thus, the prospective payment system for general acute 
care hospitals creates an economic incentive for those hospitals to discharge medically complex Medicare patients to a post-
acute care setting as soon as clinically possible. Effective October 1, 2005, CMS expanded its post-acute care transfer policy 
under which general acute care hospitals are paid on a per diem basis rather than the full MS-DRG rate if a patient is discharged 
early to certain post-acute care settings, including LTCHs and IRFs. When a patient is discharged from selected MS-DRGs to, 
among other providers, an LTCH or IRF, the general acute care hospital may be reimbursed below the full MS-DRG payment if 
the patient’s length of stay is at least one day less than the geometric mean length of stay for the MS-DRG.

Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services

The  Medicare  payment  system  for  LTCHs  is  based  on  a  prospective  payment  system  specifically  applicable  to  LTCHs 
(“LTCH-PPS”). The policies and payment rates under LTCH-PPS are subject to annual updates and revisions. Under LTCH-
PPS, each patient discharged from an LTCH is assigned to a distinct “MS-LTC-DRG,” which is a Medicare severity long-term 
care  diagnosis-related  group  for  LTCHs,  and  an  LTCH  is  generally  paid  a  pre-determined  fixed  amount  applicable  to  the 
assigned MS-LTC-DRG (adjusted for area wage differences), subject to exceptions for short stay and high cost outlier patients 
(described below). CMS assigns relative weights to each MS-LTC-DRG to reflect their relative use of medical care resources. 
The payment amount for each MS-LTC-DRG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient assigned to 
that MS-LTC-DRG in an LTCH.

Standard Federal Rate

Payment under the LTCH-PPS is dependent on determining the patient classification, that is, the assignment of the case to 
a particular MS-LTC-DRG, the weight of the MS-LTC-DRG, and the standard federal payment rate. There is a single standard 
federal rate that encompasses both the inpatient operating costs, which includes a labor and non-labor component, and capital-
related costs that CMS updates on an annual basis. LTCH-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments 
for some patients based on the patient’s length of stay, the facility’s costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted, 
and other factors.

Patient Criteria

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, enacted December 26, 2013, established a dual-rate LTCH-PPS for Medicare patients 
discharged  from  an  LTCH.  Specifically,  for  Medicare  patients  discharged  in  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after 
October 1, 2015, LTCHs are reimbursed at the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate only if, immediately preceding the 
patient’s  LTCH  admission,  the  patient  was  discharged  from  a  “subsection  (d)  hospital”  (generally,  a  short-term  acute  care 
hospital paid under IPPS) and either the patient’s stay included at least three days in an intensive care unit or coronary care unit 
at the subsection (d) hospital, or the patient was assigned to an MS-LTC-DRG for cases receiving at least 96 hours of ventilator 
services in the LTCH. In addition, to be paid at the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, the patient’s discharge from the 
LTCH  may  not  include  a  principal  diagnosis  relating  to  psychiatric  or  rehabilitation  services.  For  any  Medicare  patient  who 
does  not  meet  these  criteria,  the  LTCH  will  be  paid  a  “site-neutral”  payment  rate,  which  will  be  the  lower  of:  (i)  the  IPPS 
comparable per-diem payment rate capped at the MS-DRG payment rate plus any outlier payments; or (ii) 100 percent of the 
estimated costs for services.

The site neutral payment rate for those patients not paid at the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate is subject to a 
transition  period.  During  the  transition  period  (applicable  to  hospital  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  October  1, 
2015 through September 30, 2019), a blended rate will be paid for Medicare patients not meeting the new criteria that is equal 
to 50% of the site neutral payment rate amount and 50% of the standard federal payment rate amount. For discharges in cost 
reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019, only the site neutral payment rate will apply for Medicare patients not 
meeting the new criteria. For hospital discharges beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2026, the IPPS 
comparable per diem payment amount (including any applicable outlier payment) used to determine the site neutral payment 
rate is reduced by 4.6% after any annual payment rate update.

17

Table of Contents

In addition, for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019, LTCHs must maintain an “LTCH discharge 
payment percentage” of at least 50% to continue to be reimbursed for Medicare fee-for-service patients at the dual rates of the 
LTCH-PPS. The “LTCH discharge payment percentage” is a ratio, expressed as a percentage, of Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) 
discharges not paid the site neutral payment rate (i.e., those meeting LTCH patient criteria) to the total number of Medicare FFS 
discharges occurring during the cost reporting period. If this percentage is lower than 50%, the LTCH is notified that all of its 
Medicare FFS discharges will be subject to payment adjustment beginning in the cost reporting period after it was notified. The 
payment adjustment will result in reimbursement at an IPPS equivalent payment rate. However, the LTCH will not be subject to 
this  payment  adjustment  if  it  maintains  an  LTCH  discharge  payment  percentage  of  at  least  50%  during  a  6-month 
“probationary-cure period” immediately before the cost reporting period when the payment adjustment would apply, and during 
that cost reporting period. An LTCH that has been subject to this payment adjustment will be reinstated at the regular dual rates 
of  the  LTCH-PPS  in  the  cost  reporting  period  that  begins  after  the  LTCH  is  notified  that  its  LTCH  discharge  payment 
percentage is at least 50%.

Payment  adjustments,  including  the  interrupted  stay  policy  (discussed  herein),  apply  to  LTCH  discharges  regardless  of 
whether  the  case  is  paid  at  the  standard  federal  payment  rate  or  the  site-neutral  payment  rate.  However,  short  stay  outlier 
payment adjustments do not apply to cases paid at the site-neutral payment rate. CMS calculates the annual recalibration of the 
MS-LTC-DRG relative payment weighting factors using only data from LTCH discharges that meet the criteria for exclusion 
from the site-neutral payment rate. In addition, CMS applies the IPPS fixed-loss amount for high cost outliers to site-neutral 
cases, rather than the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount. CMS calculates the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount using only data from 
cases paid at the LTCH-PPS payment rate, excluding cases paid at the site-neutral rate.

Short Stay Outlier Policy

CMS established a different payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-
sixths of the geometric average length of stay for that particular MS-LTC-DRG, referred to as a short stay outlier (“SSO”). SSO 
cases are paid based on a per diem rate derived from blending 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per 
diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS. Under this policy, as the length of stay of a SSO case increases, the 
percentage of the per diem payment amounts based on the full MS-LTCH-DRG standard federal payment rate increases and the 
percentage of the payment based on the IPPS comparable amount decreases.

High Cost Outliers

Some cases are extraordinarily costly, producing losses that may be too large for hospitals to offset. Cases with unusually 
high costs, referred to as “high cost outliers,” receive a payment adjustment to reflect the additional resources utilized. CMS 
provides an additional payment if the estimated costs for the patient exceed the adjusted MS-LTC-DRG payment plus a fixed-
loss amount that is established in the annual payment rate update.

Interrupted Stays

An interrupted stay is defined as a case in which an LTCH patient, upon discharge, is admitted to a general acute care 
hospital, IRF or skilled nursing facility/swing-bed and then returns to the same LTCH within a specified period of time. If the 
length  of  stay  at  the  receiving  provider  is  equal  to  or  less  than  the  applicable  fixed  period  of  time,  it  is  considered  to  be  an 
interrupted  stay  case  and  the  case  is  treated  as  a  single  discharge  for  the  purposes  of  payment  to  the  LTCH.  For  interrupted 
stays of three days or less, Medicare payments for any test, procedure, or care provided to an LTCH patient on an outpatient 
basis or for any inpatient treatment during the “interruption” would be the responsibility of the LTCH.

Freestanding, HIH, and Satellite LTCHs

LTCHs may be organized and operated as freestanding facilities or as HIHs. As its name suggests, a freestanding LTCH is 
not located on the campus of another hospital. For such purpose, “campus” means the physical area immediately adjacent to a 
hospital’s  main  buildings,  other  areas,  and  structures  that  are  not  strictly  contiguous  to  a  hospital’s  main  buildings  but  are 
located within 250 yards of its main buildings, and any other areas determined, on an individual case basis by the applicable 
CMS  regional  office,  to  be  part  of  a  hospital’s  campus.  Conversely,  an  HIH  is  an  LTCH  that  is  located  on  the  campus  of 
another  hospital.  An  LTCH,  whether  freestanding  or  an  HIH,  that  uses  the  same  Medicare  provider  number  of  an  affiliated 
“primary site” LTCH is known as a “satellite.” Under Medicare policy, a satellite LTCH must be located within 35 miles of its 
primary site LTCH and be administered by such primary site LTCH. A primary site LTCH may have more than one satellite 
LTCH. CMS sometimes refers to a satellite LTCH that is freestanding as a “remote location.” LTCH HIHs and satellites must 
comply with  certain requirements to show that they operate as part of the main LTCH, and not the co-located hospital. Most or 
all of these requirements no longer apply to LTCHs that are located on the same campus as an IRF, an inpatient psychiatric 
facility, or any other hospital excluded from the IPPS, provided that an IPPS hospital is not also located on that campus.

Facility Certification Criteria

The LTCH-PPS regulations define the criteria that must be met in order for a hospital to be certified as an LTCH. To be 
eligible for payment under the LTCH-PPS, a hospital must be primarily engaged in providing inpatient services to Medicare 
beneficiaries with medically complex conditions that require a long hospital stay. In addition, by definition, LTCHs must meet 
certain facility criteria, including: (i) instituting a review process that screens patients for appropriateness of an admission and 
validates the patient criteria within 48 hours of each patient’s admission, evaluates regularly their patients for continuation of 
care,  and  assesses  the  available  discharge  options;  (ii)  having  active  physician  involvement  with  patient  care  that  includes  a 
physician  available  on-site  daily  and  additional  consulting  physicians  on  call;  and  (iii)  having  an  interdisciplinary  team  of 
healthcare professionals to prepare and carry out an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

An LTCH must have an average inpatient length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-
covered  days)  of  greater  than  25  days.  LTCH  cases  paid  at  the  site-neutral  rate  and  Medicare  Advantage  cases  are  excluded 
from the LTCH average length of stay calculation. LTCHs that fail to exceed an average length of stay of 25 days during any 
cost reporting period may be paid under the general acute care hospital IPPS if not corrected within established time frames. 
CMS, through its contractors, determines whether an LTCH has maintained an average length of stay of greater than 25 days 
during each annual cost reporting period.

Prior to qualifying under the payment system applicable to LTCHs, a new LTCH initially receives payments under the 
general acute care hospital IPPS. The LTCH must continue to be paid under this system for a minimum of six months while 
meeting certain Medicare LTCH requirements, the most significant requirement being an average length of stay for Medicare 
patients (including both Medicare covered and non-covered days) greater than 25 days.

25 Percent Rule

The  “25  Percent  Rule”  was  a  downward  payment  adjustment  that  applied  if  the  percentage  of  Medicare  patients 
discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a referring hospital (regardless of whether the LTCH or LTCH satellite is co-
located with the referring hospital) exceeded the applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting 
period.

CMS was precluded from applying the 25 Percent Rule for freestanding LTCHs to cost reporting years beginning before 
July 1, 2016 and for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017. In addition, the law applied 
higher percentage admissions thresholds for most LTCHs operating as HIHs and satellites for cost reporting years beginning 
before July 1, 2016 and effective for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017.

For fiscal year 2018, CMS adopted a regulatory moratorium on the implementation of the 25 Percent Rule.

For fiscal year 2019 and thereafter, CMS eliminated the 25 Percent Rule entirely. The elimination of the 25 Percent Rule 
is being implemented in a budget-neutral manner by adjusting the standard federal payment rates down such that the projection 
of  aggregate  LTCH  payments  would  equal  the  projection  of  aggregate  LTCH  payments  that  would  have  been  paid  if  the 
moratorium ended and the 25 Percent Rule went into effect on October 1, 2018. As a result, the elimination of the 25 Percent 
Rule includes a temporary, one-time adjustment to the fiscal year 2019 LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, a temporary, 
one-time adjustment to the fiscal year 2020 LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, and a permanent, one-time adjustment to 
the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate in fiscal years 2021 and subsequent years. 

Annual Payment Rate Update

Fiscal Year 2019. On August 17, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-
PPS  for  fiscal  year  2019  (affecting  discharges  and  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  October  1,  2018  through 
September  30,  2019).  Certain  errors  in  the  final  rule  were  corrected  in  a  document  published  October  3,  2018.  The  standard 
federal rate was set at $41,559, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $41,415. The 
update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment 
of 0.8%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). The standard federal rate also included 
an  area  wage  budget  neutrality  factor  of  0.999215  and  a  temporary,  one-time  budget  neutrality  adjustment  of  0.990878  in 
connection  with  the  elimination  of  the  25  Percent  Rule  (discussed  herein).  The  fixed-loss  amount  for  high  cost  outlier  cases 
paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,121, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $27,381. The fixed-
loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $25,743, a decrease from the fixed-
loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $26,537.

Fiscal Year 2020. On August 16, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-
PPS  for  fiscal  year  2020  (affecting  discharges  and  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  October  1,  2019  through 
September  30,  2020).  Certain  errors  in  the  final  rule  were  corrected  in  a  document  published  October  8,  2019.  The  standard 
federal rate was set at $42,678, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2019 of $41,559. The 
update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment 
of 0.4%. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0020203 and a temporary, one-time 
budget  neutrality  adjustment  of  0.999858  in  connection  with  the  elimination  of  the  25  Percent  Rule  (discussed  herein).  The 
fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $26,778, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount 
in the 2019 fiscal year of $27,121. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate 
was set at $26,552, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2019 fiscal year of $25,743. For LTCH discharges occurring 
in cost reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2020, site neutral payment rate cases will begin to be paid fully on the site 
neutral payment rate, rather than the transitional blended rate. However, the CARES Act waives the site neutral payment rate 
for  patients  admitted  during  the  COVID-19  emergency  period  and  in  response  to  the  public  health  emergency,  as  discussed 
below.

Fiscal  Year  2021.  On  September  18,  2020,  CMS  published  the  final  rule  updating  policies  and  payment  rates  for  the 
LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2021 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2020 through 
September 30, 2021). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published December 7, 2020. The standard 
federal rate was set at $43,755, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2020 of $42,678. The 
update  to  the  standard  federal  rate  for  fiscal  year  2021  included  a  market  basket  increase  of  2.3%  with  no  productivity 
adjustment. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0016837 and a permanent, one-
time budget neutrality adjustment of 1.000517 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule (discussed herein). As 
a  result  of  the  CARES  Act,  all  LTCH  cases  are  paid  at  the  standard  federal  rate  during  the  public  health  emergency.  If  the 
public  health  emergency  ends  during  fiscal  year  2021,  then  CMS  will  return  to  using  the  site-neutral  payment  rate  for 
reimbursement of cases that do not meet the LTCH patient criteria. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under 
LTCH-PPS  was  set  at  $27,195,  an  increase  from  the  fixed-loss  amount  in  the  2020  fiscal  year  of  $26,778.  The  fixed-loss 
amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $29,064, an increase from the fixed-loss 
amount in the 2020 fiscal year of $26,552.

Medicare Reimbursement of IRF Services

IRFs  are  paid  under  a  prospective  payment  system  specifically  applicable  to  this  provider  type,  which  is  referred  to  as 
“IRF-PPS.” Under the IRF-PPS, each patient discharged from an IRF is assigned to a case mix group (“IRF-CMG”) containing 
patients with similar clinical conditions that are expected to require similar amounts of resources. An IRF is generally paid a 
pre-determined fixed amount applicable to the assigned IRF-CMG (subject to applicable case adjustments related to length of 
stay and facility level adjustments for location and low income patients). The payment amount for each IRF-CMG is intended 
to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient’s condition in an IRF relative to patients with conditions described by 
other IRF-CMGs. The IRF-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on the 
patient’s length of stay, the facility’s costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors.

Facility Certification Criteria

Our  rehabilitation  hospitals  must  meet  certain  facility  criteria  to  be  classified  as  an  IRF  by  the  Medicare  program, 
including:  (i)  a  provider  agreement  to  participate  as  a  hospital  in  Medicare;  (ii)  a  pre-admission  screening  procedure; 
(iii) ensuring that patients receive close medical supervision and furnish, through the use of qualified personnel, rehabilitation 
nursing,  physical  therapy,  and  occupational  therapy,  plus,  as  needed,  speech  therapy,  social  or  psychological  services,  and 
orthotic and prosthetic services; (iv) a full-time, qualified director of rehabilitation; (v) a plan of treatment for each inpatient 
that  is  established,  reviewed,  and  revised  as  needed  by  a  physician  in  consultation  with  other  professional  personnel  who 
provide services to the patient; and (vi) a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach in the rehabilitation of each inpatient, as 
documented by periodic clinical entries made in the patient’s medical record to note the patient’s status in relationship to goal 
attainment, and that team conferences are held at least every two weeks to determine the appropriateness of treatment. Failure to 
comply with any of the classification criteria may result in the denial of claims for payment or cause a hospital to lose its status 
as an IRF and be paid under the prospective payment system that applies to general acute care hospitals.

20

Table of Contents

Patient Classification Criteria

In order to qualify as an IRF, a hospital must demonstrate that during its most recent 12-month cost reporting period, it 
served an inpatient population of whom at least 60% required intensive rehabilitation services for one or more of 13 conditions 
specified  by  regulation.  Compliance  with  the  60%  Rule  is  demonstrated  through  either  medical  review  or  the  “presumptive” 
method, in which a patient’s diagnosis codes are compared to a “presumptive compliance” list.  Beginning October 1, 2017, the 
60%  Rule’s  presumptive  methodology  was  revised  to  (i)  include  certain  International  Classification  of  Diseases,  Tenth 
Revision,  Clinical  Modification  (“ICD-10-CM”)  diagnosis  codes  for  patients  with  traumatic  brain  injury  and  hip  fracture 
conditions and (ii) count IRF cases that contain two or more of the ICD-10-CM codes from three major multiple trauma lists in 
the specified combinations.

Annual Payment Rate Update

Fiscal Year 2019. On August 6, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS 
for fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 
30, 2019). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2019 was set at $16,021, an increase from the 
standard  payment  conversion  factor  applicable  during  fiscal  year  2018  of  $15,838.  The  update  to  the  standard  payment 
conversion factor for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and 
less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2019 to $9,402 
from $8,679 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2018.

Fiscal Year 2020. On August 8, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS 
for fiscal year 2020 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019 through September 
30, 2020). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2020 was set at $16,489, an increase from the 
standard  payment  conversion  factor  applicable  during  fiscal  year  2019  of  $16,021.  The  update  to  the  standard  payment 
conversion factor for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. CMS 
decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2020 to $9,300 from $9,402 established in the final rule for fiscal year 
2019.

Fiscal Year 2021. On August 10, 2020, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS 
for fiscal year 2021 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2020 through September 
30, 2021). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2021 was set at $16,856, an increase from the 
standard  payment  conversion  factor  applicable  during  fiscal  year  2020  of  $16,489.  The  update  to  the  standard  payment 
conversion  factor  for  fiscal  year  2021  included  a  market  basket  increase  of  2.4%  with  no  productivity  adjustment.  CMS 
decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2021 to $7,906 from $9,300 established in the final rule for fiscal year 
2020.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services

Outpatient rehabilitation providers enroll in Medicare as a rehabilitation agency, a clinic, or a public health agency. The 
Medicare  program  reimburses  outpatient  rehabilitation  providers  based  on  the  Medicare  physician  fee  schedule.  For  services 
provided  in  2017  through  2019,  a  0.5%  update  was  applied  each  year  to  the  fee  schedule  payment  rates,  subject  to  an 
adjustment beginning in 2019 under the Merit‑Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”). In 2019, CMS added physical and 
occupational therapists to the list of MIPS eligible clinicians. For these therapists in private practice, payments under the fee 
schedule  are  subject  to  adjustment  in  a  later  year  based  on  their  performance  in  MIPS  according  to  established  performance 
standards. Calendar year 2021 is the first year that payments are adjusted, based upon the therapist’s performance under MIPS 
in 2019. Providers in facility-based outpatient therapy settings are excluded from MIPS eligibility and therefore not subject to 
this payment adjustment.

For services provided in 2020 through 2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment 
rates, subject to adjustments under MIPS and the alternative payment models (“APMs”). In 2026 and subsequent years, eligible 
professionals  participating  in  APMs  who  meet  certain  criteria  would  receive  annual  updates  of  0.75%,  while  all  other 
professionals  would  receive  annual  updates  of  0.25%.  Each  year  from  2019  through  2024  eligible  clinicians  who  receive  a 
significant  share  of  their  revenues  through  an  advanced  APM  (such  as  accountable  care  organizations  or  bundled  payment 
arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus. The bonus 
payment for APM participation is intended to encourage participation and testing of new APMs and to promote the alignment 
of incentives across payors.

In the 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule final rule, CMS revised coding, documentation guidelines, and increased the 
valuation for the evaluation and management (“E/M”) office visit codes, beginning in 2021. Because the Medicare physician 
fee  schedule  is  budget-neutral,  any  revaluation  of  E/M  services  that  will  increase  spending  by  more  than  $20  million  will 
require a budget neutrality adjustment. To increase values for the E/M codes while maintaining budget neutrality under the fee 
schedule, CMS cut the values of other codes to make up the difference, beginning in 2021. 

In the 2021 Medicare physician fee schedule final rule, CMS increased the values for the E/M office visit codes and cuts 
to  other  specialty  codes  to  maintain  budget  neutrality.  As  a  result,  therapy  services  provided  in  our  outpatient  rehabilitation 
clinics will receive an estimated 3.6% decrease in payment from Medicare in calendar year 2021. Legislation was introduced in 
Congress that, if enacted, would waive the budget neutrality requirement with respect to the E/M codes for 2021 in order to 
avoid  or  minimize  cuts  to  physical  and  occupational  therapy  services  and  other  code  values.  Separately,  the  Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2021, provides a one-time 3.75% increase in payments in calendar year 2021 for therapy services and other 
services paid under the physician fee schedule. 

Therapy Caps

Outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule have been subject to annual limits for 
therapy expenses. For example, for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2017, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services 
was $1,980 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,980 for occupational therapy services. The 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 repealed the annual limits on outpatient therapy.

The annual limits for therapy expenses historically did not apply to services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital 
departments. However, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 and prior legislation extended the annual 
limits  on  therapy  expenses  in  hospital  outpatient  department  settings  through  December  31,  2017.  The  application  of  annual 
limits to hospital outpatient department settings sunset on December 31, 2017. 

For calendar year 2018 through calendar year 2028, all therapy claims exceeding $3,000 are subject to a manual medical 
review process authorized by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 and amended by the Bipartisan Budget 
Act of 2018. The $3,000 threshold is applied to physical therapy and speech therapy services combined and separately applied 
to  occupational  therapy.  CMS  will  continue  to  require  that  an  appropriate  modifier  be  included  on  claims  over  the  current 
exception threshold indicating that the therapy services are medically necessary. Beginning in 2028 and in each calendar year 
thereafter,  the  threshold  amount  for  claims  requiring  manual  medical  review  will  increase  by  the  percentage  increase  in  the 
Medicare Economic Index.

Modifiers to Identify Services of Physical Therapy Assistants or Occupational Therapy Assistants

In the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS established two new modifiers (CQ and 
CO) to identify services furnished in whole or in part by physical therapy assistants (“PTAs”) or occupational therapy assistants 
(“OTAs”).  These  modifiers  were  mandated  by  the  Bipartisan  Budget  Act  of  2018,  which  requires  that  claims  for  outpatient 
therapy services furnished in whole or part by therapy assistants on or after January 1, 2020 include the appropriate modifier. 
CMS intends to use these modifiers to implement a payment differential that would reimburse services provided by PTAs and 
OTAs at 85% of the fee schedule rate beginning on January 1, 2022. In the final 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule rule, 
CMS clarified that when the physical therapist is involved for the entire duration of the service and the PTA provides skilled 
therapy  alongside  the  physical  therapist,  the  CQ  modifier  is  not  required.  Also,  when  the  same  service  (code)  is  furnished 
separately by the physical therapist and PTA, CMS will apply the de minimis standard to each 15-minute unit of codes, not on 
the  total  physical  therapist  and  PTA  time  of  the  service,  allowing  the  separate  reporting,  on  two  different  claim  lines,  of  the 
number of units to which the new modifiers apply and the number of units to which the modifiers do not apply.

Other Requirements for Payment

Historically,  outpatient  rehabilitation  services  have  been  subject  to  scrutiny  by  the  Medicare  program  for,  among  other 
things, medical necessity for services, appropriate documentation for services, supervision of therapy aides and students, and 
billing for single rather than group therapy when services are furnished to more than one patient. CMS has issued guidance to 
clarify  that  services  performed  by  a  student  are  not  reimbursed  even  if  provided  under  “line  of  sight”  supervision  of  the 
therapist.  Likewise,  CMS  has  reiterated  that  Medicare  does  not  pay  for  services  provided  by  aides  regardless  of  the  level  of 
supervision.  CMS  also  has  issued  instructions  that  outpatient  physical  and  occupational  therapy  services  provided 
simultaneously to two or more individuals by a practitioner should be billed as group therapy services.

Medicaid Reimbursement of LTCH and IRF Services

The  Medicaid  program  is  designed  to  provide  medical  assistance  to  individuals  unable  to  afford  care.  The  program  is 
governed  by  the  Social  Security  Act  of  1965,  funded  jointly  by  each  individual  state  and  the  federal  government  and 
administered by state agencies. Medicaid payments are made under a number of different systems, which include cost based 
reimbursement, prospective payment systems, or programs that negotiate payment levels with individual hospitals. In addition, 
Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy by the state 
agencies, and certain government funding limitations, all of which may increase or decrease the level of program payments to 
our  hospitals.  Revenue  generated  directly  from  the  Medicaid  program  represented  approximately  3%  of  our  critical  illness 
recovery  hospital  segment  revenue  and  3%  of  our  rehabilitation  hospital  segment  revenue  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2020.

Other Healthcare Regulations

Federal Healthcare Program Changes in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The  Secretary  of  Health  and  Human  Services  (“HHS”)  has  authorized  a  number  of  waivers  or  modifications  of  certain 
requirements under Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) pursuant to section 1135 of the 
Social  Security  Act  in  response  to  the  COVID-19  outbreak  in  the  United  States.  For  a  description  of  such  waivers  and 
modifications,  see  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—Regulatory 
Changes.”

Medicare Quality Reporting

LTCHs  and  IRFs  are  subject  to  mandatory  quality  reporting  requirements.  LTCHs  and  IRFs  that  do  not  submit  the 
required  quality  data  will  be  subject  to  a  2%  reduction  in  their  annual  payment  update.  The  reduction  can  result  in  payment 
rates less than the prior year. However, the reduction will not carry over into the subsequent fiscal years.

Our LTCHs and IRFs are required to collect and report patient assessment data and clinical measures on each Medicare 
beneficiary  who  receives  inpatient  services  in  our  facilities.  We  began  reporting  this  data  on  October  1,  2012.  CMS  began 
making  this  data  available  to  the  public  on  the  CMS  website  in  December  2016.  CMS  is  now  adding  cross-setting  quality 
measures to compare quality and resource data across post-acute settings pursuant to the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care 
Transformation Act of 2014 (the “IMPACT Act”).

Medicare Hospital Wage Index Adjustment

As part of the methodology for determining prospective payments to LTCHs and IRFs, CMS adjusts the standard payment 
amounts for area differences in hospital wage levels by a factor reflecting the relative hospital wage level in the geographic area 
of the hospital compared to the national average hospital wage level. This adjustment factor is the hospital wage index. CMS 
currently  defines  hospital  geographic  areas  (labor  market  areas)  based  on  the  definitions  of  Core-Based  Statistical  Areas 
established by the Office of Management and Budget. 

Physician-Owned Hospital Limitations

CMS regulations include a number of hospital ownership and physician referral provisions, including certain obligations 
requiring physician-owned hospitals to disclose ownership or investment interests held by the referring physician or his or her 
immediate family members. In particular, physician-owned hospitals must furnish to patients, on request, a list of physicians or 
immediate family members who own or invest in the hospital. Moreover, a physician-owned hospital must require all physician 
owners  or  investors  who  are  also  active  members  of  the  hospital’s  medical  staff  to  disclose  in  writing  their  ownership  or 
investment  interests  in  the  hospital  to  all  patients  they  refer  to  the  hospital.  CMS  can  terminate  the  Medicare  provider 
agreement of a physician-owned hospital if it fails to comply with these disclosure provisions or with the requirement that a 
hospital disclose in writing to all patients whether there is a physician on-site at the hospital, 24 hours per day, seven days per 
week.

Under the transparency and program integrity provisions of the ACA, the exception to the federal self-referral law (the 
“Stark Law”) that permits physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have an ownership or investment interest has 
been dramatically curtailed. Only hospitals with physician ownership and a provider agreement in place on December 31, 2010 
are  exempt  from  the  general  ban  on  self-referral.  Existing  physician-owned  hospitals  are  prohibited  from  increasing  the 
percentage  of  physician  ownership  or  investment  interests  held  in  the  hospital  after  March  23,  2010.  In  addition,  physician-
owned  hospitals  are  prohibited  from  increasing  the  number  of  licensed  beds  after  March  23,  2010,  unless  meeting  specific 
exceptions related to the hospital’s location and patient population. In order to retain their exemption from the general ban on 
self-referrals, our physician-owned hospitals are required to adopt specific measures relating to conflicts of interest, bona fide 
investments and patient safety. As of December 31, 2020, we operated four hospitals that are owned in-part by physicians.

Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors

CMS  contracts  with  third-party  organizations,  known  as  Recovery  Audit  Contractors  (“RACs”)  to  identify  Medicare 
underpayments and overpayments, and to authorize RACs to recoup any overpayments. RACs are paid on a contingency fee 
basis. The contingency fee is a percentage of improper overpayment recoveries or underpayments identified by the RAC. The 
RAC  must  return  the  contingency  fee  if  an  improper  payment  determination  is  reversed  on  appeal.  RACs  conduct  audit 
activities nationwide in four regions of the country that cover all 50 states on a combined basis. RAC audits of our Medicare 
reimbursement may lead to assertions that we have been overpaid, require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for 
records  and  pursue  the  reversal  of  payment  denials  through  appeals,  and  ultimately  require  us  to  refund  any  amounts 
determined to have been overpaid. We cannot predict the impact of future RAC reviews on our results of operations or cash 
flows.

Fraud and Abuse Enforcement

Various federal and state laws prohibit the submission of false or fraudulent claims, including claims to obtain payment 
under Medicare, Medicaid, and other government healthcare programs. Penalties for violation of these laws include civil and 
criminal fines, imprisonment, and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs. In recent years, federal 
and  state  government  agencies  have  increased  the  level  of  enforcement  resources  and  activities  targeted  at  the  healthcare 
industry. In addition, the federal False Claims Act and similar state statutes allow individuals to bring lawsuits on behalf of the 
government, in what are known as qui tam or “whistleblower” actions, alleging false or fraudulent Medicare or Medicaid claims 
or  other  violations  of  the  statute.  The  use  of  these  private  enforcement  actions  against  healthcare  providers  has  increased 
dramatically in recent years, in part because the individual filing the initial complaint is entitled to share in a portion of any 
settlement  or  judgment.  Revisions  to  the  False  Claims  Act  enacted  in  2009  expanded  significantly  the  scope  of  liability, 
provided  for  new  investigative  tools,  and  made  it  easier  for  whistleblowers  to  bring  and  maintain  False  Claims  Act  suits  on 
behalf of the government. See “—Legal Proceedings.”

From time to time, various federal and state agencies, such as the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health 
and Human Services (“OIG”) issue a variety of pronouncements, including fraud alerts, the OIG’s Annual Work Plan, and other 
reports, identifying practices that may be subject to heightened scrutiny. These pronouncements can identify issues relating to 
LTCHs,  IRFs,  or  outpatient  rehabilitation  services  or  providers.  For  example,  the  OIG  recently  announced  that  it  will  (1) 
determine  whether  Medicare  appropriately  paid  hospitals’  inpatient  claims  subject  to  the  post-acute  care  transfer  policy,  (2) 
determine whether Medicare paid hospitals more for Medicare outlier payments than the hospitals would have been paid if their 
outlier  payments  had  been  reconciled,  and  (3)  examine  up-coding  of  inpatient  hospital  billing  by  comparing  how  billing  has 
changed over time and how billing varied among hospitals. We monitor government publications applicable to us to supplement 
and enhance our compliance efforts.

We endeavor to conduct our operations in compliance with applicable laws, including healthcare fraud and abuse laws. If 
we identify any practices as being potentially contrary to applicable law, we will take appropriate action to address the matter, 
including,  where  appropriate,  disclosure  to  the  proper  authorities,  which  may  result  in  a  voluntary  refund  of  monies  to 
Medicare, Medicaid, or other governmental healthcare programs.

Remuneration and Fraud Measures

The federal anti-kickback statute prohibits some business practices and relationships under Medicare, Medicaid, and other 
federal healthcare programs. These practices include the payment, receipt, offer, or solicitation of remuneration in connection 
with, to induce, or to arrange for, the referral of patients covered by a federal or state healthcare program. Violations of the anti-
kickback law may be punished by: a criminal fine of up to $100,000 or up to ten years imprisonment for each violation, or both; 
civil monetary penalties of $20,000, $30,000 or $100,000 per violation, depending on the type of violation; damages of up to 
three times the total amount of remuneration; and exclusion from participation in federal or state healthcare programs.

The Stark Law prohibits referrals for designated health services by physicians under the Medicare and Medicaid programs 
to  other  healthcare  providers  in  which  the  physicians  have  an  ownership  or  compensation  arrangement  unless  an  exception 
applies.  Sanctions  for  violating  the  Stark  Law  include  returning  program  reimbursements,  civil  monetary  penalties  of  up  to 
$15,000 per prohibited service provided, assessments equal to three times the dollar value of each such service provided, and 
exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state healthcare programs. The statute also provides 
a  penalty  of  up  to  $100,000  for  a  circumvention  scheme.  In  addition,  many  states  have  adopted  or  may  adopt  similar  anti-
kickback or anti-self-referral statutes. Some of these statutes prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration for the referral of 
patients, regardless of the source of the payment for the care. While we do not believe our arrangements are in violation of these 
prohibitions, we cannot assure you that governmental officials charged with the responsibility for enforcing the provisions of 
these  prohibitions  will  not  assert  that  one  or  more  of  our  arrangements  are  in  violation  of  the  provisions  of  such  laws  and 
regulations.

Provider-Based Status

The  designation  “provider-based”  refers  to  circumstances  in  which  a  subordinate  facility  (such  as  a  separately  certified 
Medicare  provider,  a  department  of  a  provider,  or  a  satellite  facility)  is  treated  as  part  of  a  provider  for  Medicare  payment 
purposes. In these cases, the services of the subordinate facility are included on the “main” provider’s cost report and overhead 
costs of the main provider can be allocated to the subordinate facility, to the extent that they are shared. As of December 31, 
2020, we operated 18 critical illness recovery hospitals and seven rehabilitation hospitals that were treated as provider-based 
satellites of certain of our other facilities, 253 of the outpatient rehabilitation clinics we operated were provider-based and are 
operated  as  departments  of  the  rehabilitation  hospitals  we  operated,  and  we  provide  rehabilitation  management  and  staffing 
services  to  hospital  rehabilitation  departments  that  may  be  treated  as  provider-based.  These  facilities  are  required  to  satisfy 
certain operational standards in order to retain their provider-based status.

Health Information Practices

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) mandates the adoption of standards for the 
exchange  of  electronic  health  information  in  an  effort  to  encourage  overall  administrative  simplification  and  enhance  the 
effectiveness  and  efficiency  of  the  healthcare  industry,  while  maintaining  the  privacy  and  security  of  health  information. 
Among  the  standards  that  the  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  has  adopted  or  will  adopt  pursuant  to  HIPAA  are 
standards for electronic transactions and code sets, unique identifiers for providers (referred to as National Provider Identifier), 
employers, health plans and individuals, security and electronic signatures, privacy, and enforcement. If we fail to comply with 
the HIPAA requirements, we could be subject to criminal penalties and civil sanctions. The privacy, security and enforcement 
provisions  of  HIPAA  were  enhanced  by  the  Health  Information  Technology  for  Economic  and  Clinical  Health  Act 
(“HITECH”),  which  was  included  in  the  ARRA.  Among  other  things,  HITECH  establishes  security  breach  notification 
requirements, allows enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and increases penalties for HIPAA violations.

The Department of Health and Human Services has adopted standards in three areas in which we are required to comply 

that affect our operations.

Standards relating to the privacy of individually identifiable health information govern our use and disclosure of protected 
health information and require us to impose those rules, by contract, on any business associate to whom such information is 
disclosed.

Standards  relating  to  electronic  transactions  and  code  sets  require  the  use  of  uniform  standards  for  common  healthcare 
transactions, including healthcare claims information, plan eligibility, referral certification and authorization, claims status, plan 
enrollment and disenrollment, payment and remittance advice, plan premium payments, and coordination of benefits.

Standards for the security of electronic health information require us to implement various administrative, physical, and 

technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of electronic protected health information.

We  maintain  a  Privacy  and  Security  Committee  that  is  charged  with  evaluating  and  monitoring  our  compliance  with 
HIPAA. The Privacy and Security Committee monitors regulations promulgated under HIPAA as they have been adopted to 
date and as additional standards and modifications are adopted. Although health information standards have had a significant 
effect on the manner in which we handle health data and communicate with payors, the cost of our compliance has not had a 
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We cannot estimate the cost of compliance 
with standards that have not been issued or finalized by the Department of Health and Human Services.

In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy 
concerns, including unauthorized access or theft of personal information. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state. 
Lawsuits, including class actions and action by state attorneys general, directed at companies that have experienced a privacy or 
security  breach  also  can  occur.  Although  our  policies  and  procedures  are  aimed  at  complying  with  privacy  and  security 
requirements and minimizing the risks of any breach of privacy or security, there can be no assurance that a breach of privacy 
or security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various penalties and damages and may be required to incur 
costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

Compliance Program

Our Compliance Program

We  maintain  a  written  code  of  conduct  (the  “Code  of  Conduct”)  that  provides  guidelines  for  principles  and  regulatory 
rules that are applicable to our patient care and business activities. The Code of Conduct is reviewed and amended as necessary 
and is the basis for our company-wide compliance program. These guidelines are implemented by our compliance officer, our 
compliance  and  audit  committee,  and  are  communicated  to  our  employees  through  education  and  training.  We  also  have 
established a reporting system, auditing and monitoring programs, and a disciplinary system as a means for enforcing the Code 
of Conduct’s policies.

Compliance and Audit Committee

Our  compliance  and  audit  committee  is  made  up  of  members  of  our  senior  management  and  in-house  counsel.  The 
compliance and audit committee meets, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis and reviews the activities, reports, and operation of 
our  compliance  program.  In  addition,  our  Privacy  and  Security  Committee  provides  reports  to  the  compliance  and  audit 
committee. Our vice president of compliance and audit services meets with the compliance and audit committee, at a minimum, 
on a quarterly basis to provide an overview of the activities and operation of our compliance program.

Operating Our Compliance Program

We focus on integrating compliance responsibilities with operational functions. We recognize that our compliance with 
applicable laws and regulations depends upon individual employee actions as well as company operations. As a result, we have 
adopted  an  operations  team  approach  to  compliance.  Our  corporate  executives,  with  the  assistance  of  corporate  experts, 
designed the programs of the compliance and audit committee. We utilize facility leaders for employee-level implementation of 
our Code of Conduct. This approach is intended to reinforce our company-wide commitment to operate in accordance with the 
laws and regulations that govern our business.

Compliance Issue Reporting

In order to facilitate our employees’ ability to report known, suspected, or potential violations of our Code of Conduct, we 
have developed a system of reporting. This reporting, anonymous or attributable, may be accomplished through our toll-free 
compliance hotline, compliance e-mail address, or our compliance post office box. Our compliance officer and the compliance 
and  audit  committee  are  responsible  for  reviewing  and  investigating  each  compliance  incident  in  accordance  with  the 
compliance and audit services department’s investigation policy.

Compliance Monitoring and Auditing / Comprehensive Training and Education

Monitoring reports and the results of compliance for each of our business segments are reported to the compliance and 
audit committee, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. We train and educate our employees regarding the Code of Conduct, as 
well as the legal and regulatory requirements relevant to each employee’s work environment. New and current employees are 
required to acknowledge and certify that the employee has read, understood, and has agreed to abide by the Code of Conduct. 
Additionally, all employees are required to re-certify compliance with the Code of Conduct on an annual basis.

Policies and Procedures Reflecting Compliance Focus Areas

We review our policies and procedures for our compliance program from time to time in order to improve operations and 
to promote compliance with requirements of standards, laws, and regulations and to reflect the ongoing compliance focus areas 
which have been identified by the compliance and audit committee.

Internal Audit

We have a compliance and audit department, which has an internal audit function. Our vice president of compliance and 
audit services manages the combined compliance and audit department and meets with the audit and compliance committee of 
our board of directors, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis to discuss audit results and provide an overview of the activities and 
operation of our compliance program.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the following are important factors which could cause 

actual results or events to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

Risks Related to Our Business

The unpredictable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and extent of disruption on our operations, 
creates uncertainties about our future operating results and financial condition.

The  extent  to  which  the  COVID-19  pandemic  continues  to  disrupt  our  business  and  results  of  operations,  financial 
position, and cash flows will depend on a number of evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, 
including, but not limited to, the duration of the outbreak; further actions by governmental authorities and the private sector to 
limit the spread of COVID-19; continued encouragement to social distance; and the economic impact on our patients and the 
communities we serve as a result of containment efforts. 

Our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals may experience constrained staffing levels and increased 
operating  costs  resulting  from  increased  usage  of  contract  clinical  labor  due  to  the  overwhelming  need  for  healthcare 
professionals,  particularly  in  areas  that  are  heavily  impacted  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  Our  hospitals  may  experience 
increased  operating  costs  resulting  from  shortages  of  medical  supplies,  including  personal  protective  equipment,  and  supply 
chain disruptions. The payments we have received under the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred 
to as the Provider Relief Fund, for health care related expenses and lost revenues attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic have 
mitigated these issues, but to the extent such relief funding stops, our hospitals may experience increased operating costs.

In our outpatient rehabilitation clinics and Concentra centers, we may experience declines in demand for our services if 
governmental authorities continue to mandate or resume mandates requiring the temporary closure of non-essential and non-life 
sustaining  businesses.  Our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  may  experience  reductions  in  patient  volume  if  governmental 
authorities and health departments continue to suspend or resume suspension of elective surgeries which would typically result 
in  a  patient  seeking  outpatient  services  and  if  the  operations  of  our  referral  sources  experience  disruption  as  a  result  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic. Our clinics may continue to experience a decline in workers’ compensation injury visits as a result of 
business closures and our Concentra centers may continue to experience a reduction in workers’ compensation and employer 
services visits as a result of businesses furloughing their workforce and temporarily ceasing and reducing operations.

Adverse economic conditions in the U.S. or globally could adversely affect us.

We  are  subject  to  the  risks  arising  from  adverse  conditions  in  the  general  economy.  A  U.S.  or  global  recession  or 
prolonged  economic  downturn  could  negatively  impact  our  current  and  prospective  patients,  adversely  affect  the  financial 
ability  of  health  insurers  to  pay  claims,  adversely  impact  our  ability  to  pay  our  expenses,  and  limit  our  ability  to  obtain 
financing  for  our  operations.  Healthcare  spending  in  the  U.S.  could  be  negatively  affected  in  the  event  of  a  downturn  in 
economic conditions. For example, U.S. patients who have lost their jobs or healthcare coverage may no longer be covered by 
an employer-sponsored health insurance plan, and patients reducing their overall spending may elect to decrease the frequency 
of visits to our facilities or forgo elective treatments or procedures, thereby reducing demand for our services.

We  could  experience  significant  increases  to  our  operating  costs  due  to  shortages  of  healthcare  professionals  or  union 
activity.

Our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  are  highly  dependent  on  nurses,  our  outpatient 
rehabilitation division is highly dependent on therapists for patient care, and Concentra is highly dependent upon the ability of 
its affiliated professional groups to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other licensed providers. The market for qualified 
healthcare professionals is highly competitive. We have sometimes experienced difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified 
healthcare personnel. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in the future. 
Additionally,  the  cost  of  attracting  and  retaining  qualified  healthcare  personnel  may  be  higher  than  we  anticipate,  and  as  a 
result, our profitability could decline. 

In addition, United States healthcare providers are continuing to see an increase in the amount of union activity. Though 
we  cannot  predict  the  degree  to  which  we  will  be  affected  by  future  union  activity,  there  may  be  continuing  legislative 
proposals  that  could  result  in  increased  union  activity.  We  could  experience  an  increase  in  labor  and  other  costs  from  such 
union activity.

If the frequency of workplace injuries and illnesses continues to decline, Concentra’s results may be negatively affected.

Approximately 56% of Concentra’s revenue in 2020 was generated from the treatment of workers’ compensation claims. 
In  the  past  decade,  the  number  of  workers’  compensation  claims  has  decreased,  which  Concentra  primarily  attributes  to 
improvements in workplace safety, improved risk management by employers, and changes in the type and composition of jobs. 
During  the  economic  downturn  between  the  years  of  2007-2009,  the  number  of  employees  with  workers’  compensation 
insurance substantially decreased. A recession or prolonged economic contraction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could 
similarly  cause  the  number  of  covered  employees  to  decline,  which  may  cause  further  declines  in  workers’  compensation 
claims. In addition, because of the greater access to health insurance and the fact that the United States economy has continued 
to shift from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy along with general improvements in workplace safety, workers 
are  generally  healthier  and  less  prone  to  work  injuries.  Increases  in  employer-sponsored  wellness  and  health  promotion 
programs, spurred in part by the ACA, have led to fitter and healthier employees who may be less likely to injure themselves on 
the job. Concentra’s business model is based, in part, on its ability to expand its relative share of the market for the treatment of 
claims  for  workplace  injuries  and  illnesses.  The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  also  resulted  in  a  significant  increase  in 
unemployment in the United States, which may continue even after the pandemic. If workplace injuries and illnesses decline at 
a  greater  rate  than  the  increase  in  total  employment,  or  if  total  employment  declines  at  a  greater  rate  than  the  increase  in 
incident rates, the number of claims in the workers’ compensation market will decrease and may adversely affect Concentra’s 
business.

If Concentra loses several significant employer customers or payor contracts, its results may be adversely affected.

Concentra’s  results  may  decline  if  it  loses  several  significant  employer  customers  or  payor  contracts.  One  or  more  of 
Concentra’s  significant  employer  customers  could  be  acquired.  Additionally,  Concentra  could  lose  significant  employer 
customers  or  payor  contracts  due  to  competitive  pricing  pressures  or  other  reasons.  Our  Concentra  centers  have  also 
experienced  a  reduction  in  employer  services  visits  due  to  furloughed  workforces  and  temporarily  ceased  and  reduced 
operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The loss of several significant employer customers or payor contracts could cause a 
material decline in Concentra’s profitability and operating performance.

If  there  are  changes  in  the  rates  or  methods  of  Medicare  reimbursements  for  our  services,  our  revenue  and  profitability 
could decline.

Approximately  27%  of  our  revenue  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  26%  of  our  revenue  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019, and 25% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, came from the highly regulated federal 
Medicare program.

In recent years, through legislative and regulatory actions, the federal government has made substantial changes to various 
payment  systems  under  the  Medicare  program.  President  Obama  signed  into  law  comprehensive  reforms  to  the  healthcare 
system, including changes to the methods for, and amounts of, Medicare reimbursement. Additional reforms or other changes to 
these  payment  systems,  including  modifications  to  the  conditions  on  qualification  for  payment,  bundling  payments  to  cover 
both  acute  and  post-acute  care,  or  the  imposition  of  enrollment  limitations  on  new  providers,  may  be  proposed  or  could  be 
adopted, either by Congress or CMS. 

If revised regulations are adopted, the availability, methods, and rates of Medicare reimbursements for services of the type 
furnished  at  our  facilities  could  change.  Reductions  in  Medicare  reimbursements  could  also  adversely  affect  payments  under 
some of our commercial payor contracts that follow Medicare payment methodologies. For example, the rules and regulations 
related  to  patient  criteria  for  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  could  become  more  stringent  and  reduce  the  number  of 
patients we admit. Some of these changes and proposed changes could adversely affect our business strategy, operations, and 
financial results. In addition, there can be no assurance that any increases in Medicare reimbursement rates established by CMS 
will fully reflect increases in our operating costs. 

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations, new interpretations of existing regulations, 
or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that reduce our revenue and profitability.

The  healthcare  industry  is  subject  to  extensive  federal,  state,  and  local  laws  and  regulations  relating  to:  (i)  facility  and 
professional  licensure,  including  certificates  of  need;  (ii)  conduct  of  operations,  including  financial  relationships  among 
healthcare  providers,  Medicare  fraud  and  abuse,  and  physician  self-referral;  (iii)  addition  of  facilities  and  services  and 
enrollment  of  newly  developed  facilities  in  the  Medicare  program;  (iv)  payment  for  services;  and  (v)  safeguarding  protected 
health information.

Both  federal  and  state  regulatory  agencies  inspect,  survey,  and  audit  our  facilities  to  review  our  compliance  with  these 
laws  and  regulations.  While  our  facilities  intend  to  comply  with  existing  licensing,  Medicare  certification  requirements,  and 
accreditation  standards,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  these  regulatory  authorities  will  determine  that  all  applicable 
requirements  are  fully  met  at  any  given  time.  A  determination  by  any  of  these  regulatory  authorities  that  a  facility  is  not  in 
compliance  with  these  requirements  could  lead  to  the  imposition  of  requirements  that  the  facility  takes  corrective  action, 
assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of licensure, Medicare certification, or accreditation. These consequences could have 
an adverse effect on our company.

In  addition,  there  have  been  heightened  coordinated  civil  and  criminal  enforcement  efforts  by  both  federal  and  state 
government  agencies  relating  to  the  healthcare  industry.  The  ongoing  investigations  relate  to,  among  other  things,  various 
referral practices, billing practices, and physician ownership. In the future, different interpretations or enforcement of these laws 
and regulations could subject us to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in our facilities, 
equipment,  personnel,  services,  and  capital  expenditure  programs.  These  changes  may  increase  our  operating  expenses  and 
reduce our operating revenues. If we fail to comply with these extensive laws and government regulations, we could become 
ineligible to receive government program reimbursement, suffer civil or criminal penalties, or be required to make significant 
changes  to  our  operations.  In  addition,  we  could  be  forced  to  expend  considerable  resources  responding  to  any  related 
investigation or other enforcement action.

If our critical illness recovery hospitals fail to maintain their certifications as LTCHs or if our facilities operated as HIHs 
fail to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals, our revenue and profitability may decline.

As  of  December  31,  2020,  we  operated  99  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals,  all  of  which  are  currently  certified  by 
Medicare as LTCHs. LTCHs must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, the Medicare 
program as an LTCH, including, among other things, maintaining an average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 
25 days. An LTCH that fails to maintain this average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days during a single 
cost reporting period is generally allowed an opportunity to show that it meets the length of stay criteria during a subsequent 
cure period. If the LTCH can show that it meets the length of stay criteria during this cure period, it will continue to be paid 
under the LTCH-PPS. If the LTCH again fails to meet the average length of stay criteria during the cure period, it will be paid 
under the general acute care IPPS at rates generally lower than the rates under the LTCH-PPS.

While CMS has issued temporary waivers that exempt LTCHs from the 25 day average length of stay requirement for all 
cost  reporting  periods  that  include  the  COVID-19  pandemic  health  emergency,  to  the  extent  such  waivers  are  lifted,  LTCHs 
will  again  be  required  to  comply  with  this  rule.  See  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and 
Results of Operations—Regulatory Changes.”

Similarly,  our  HIHs  must  meet  conditions  of  participation  in  the  Medicare  program,  which  include  additional  criteria 
establishing  separateness  from  the  hospital  with  which  the  HIH  shares  space.  If  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  fail  to 
meet  or  maintain  the  standards  for  certification  as  LTCHs,  they  will  receive  payment  under  the  general  acute  care  hospitals 
IPPS  which  is  generally  lower  than  payment  under  the  system  applicable  to  LTCHs.  Payments  at  rates  applicable  to  general 
acute  care  hospitals  would  result  in  our  hospitals  receiving  significantly  less  Medicare  reimbursement  than  they  currently 
receive for their patient services.

Decreases in Medicare reimbursement rates received by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics may reduce our future revenue 
and profitability. 

Our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  receive  payments  from  the  Medicare  program  under  the  Medicare  physician  fee 
schedule.  In the 2021 Medicare physician fee schedule final rule, CMS increased the values for the E/M office visit codes and 
cuts to other specialty codes to maintain budget neutrality. As a result, therapy services provided in our outpatient rehabilitation 
clinics  will  receive  an  estimated  3.6%  decrease  in  payment  from  Medicare  in  calendar  year  2021.  The  budget-neutrality 
requirements  under  the  Medicare  physician  fee  schedule  may  result  in  future  physical  and  occupational  therapy  services 
receiving  code  reductions,  and  a  concurrent  decrease  in  payments.  Separately,  the  Consolidated  Appropriations  Act,  2021, 
provides a one-time 3.75% increase in payments in calendar year 2021 for therapy services and other services paid under the 
physician fee schedule.

In addition, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 requires that payments under the fee schedule be 
adjusted  starting  in  2019  based  on  performance  in  a  MIPS  and,  beginning  in  2020,  incentives  for  participation  in  alternative 
payment models. The specifics of the MIPS and incentives for participation in alternative payment models will be subject to 
future  notice  and  comment  rule-making.  It  is  unclear  what  impact,  if  any,  the  MIPS  and  incentives  for  participation  in 
alternative payment models will have on our business and operating results, but any resulting decrease in payment may reduce 
our future revenue and profitability.

The nature of the markets that Concentra serves may constrain its ability to raise prices at rates sufficient to keep pace with 
the inflation of its costs.

Rates of reimbursement for work-related injury or illness visits in Concentra’s occupational health services business are 
established  through  a  legislative  or  regulatory  process  within  each  state  that  Concentra  serves.  Currently,  36  states  in  which 
Concentra  has  operations  have  fee  schedules  pursuant  to  which  all  healthcare  providers  are  uniformly  reimbursed.  The  fee 
schedules are determined by each state and generally prescribe the maximum amounts that may be reimbursed for a designated 
procedure.  In  the  states  without  fee  schedules,  healthcare  providers  are  generally  reimbursed  based  on  usual,  customary  and 
reasonable rates charged in the particular state in which the services are provided. Given that Concentra does not control these 
processes,  it  may  be  subject  to  financial  risks  if  individual  jurisdictions  reduce  rates  or  do  not  routinely  raise  rates  of 
reimbursement in a manner that keeps pace with the inflation of Concentra’s costs of service.

If  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  fail  to  comply  with  the  60%  Rule  or  admissions  to  IRFs  are  limited  due  to  changes  to  the 
diagnosis codes on the presumptive compliance list, our revenue and profitability may decline.

As of December 31, 2020, we operated 30 rehabilitation hospitals, all of which were certified as Medicare providers and 
operating  as  IRFs.  Our  rehabilitation  hospitals  must  meet  certain  conditions  of  participation  to  enroll  in,  and  seek  payment 
from, the Medicare program as an IRF. Among other things, at least 60% of the IRF’s total inpatient population must require 
treatment for one or more of 13 conditions specified by regulation. This requirement is now commonly referred to as the “60% 
Rule.” Compliance with the 60% Rule is demonstrated through a two-step process. The first step is the “presumptive” method, 
in  which  patient  diagnosis  codes  are  compared  to  a  “presumptive  compliance”  list.  IRFs  that  fail  to  demonstrate  compliance 
with  the  60%  Rule  using  this  presumptive  test  may  demonstrate  compliance  through  a  second  step  involving  an  audit  of  the 
facility’s medical records to assess compliance.

If an IRF does not demonstrate compliance with the 60% Rule by either the presumptive method or through a review of 
medical  records,  then  the  facility’s  classification  as  an  IRF  may  be  terminated  at  the  start  of  its  next  cost  reporting  period 
causing  the  facility  to  be  paid  as  a  general  acute  care  hospital  under  IPPS.  If  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  fail  to  demonstrate 
compliance  with  the  60%  Rule  through  either  method  and  are  classified  as  general  acute  care  hospitals,  our  revenue  and 
profitability may be adversely affected.

While  CMS  has  issued  temporary  waivers  in  response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic  that  allow  IRFs,  IRF  units  and 
hospitals  and  units  applying  to  be  classified  as  IRFs  to  exclude  patients  admitted  solely  to  respond  to  the  public  health 
emergency from the 60% Rule, to the extent such waivers are lifted, IRFs will again be required to comply with this rule. See 
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Regulatory Changes.”

As a result of post-payment reviews of claims we submit to Medicare for our services, we may incur additional costs and may 
be required to repay amounts already paid to us.

We  are  subject  to  regular  post-payment  inquiries,  investigations,  and  audits  of  the  claims  we  submit  to  Medicare  for 
payment  for  our  services.  These  post-payment  reviews  include  medical  necessity  reviews  for  Medicare  patients  admitted  to 
LTCHs and IRFs, and audits of Medicare claims under the Recovery Audit Contractor program. These post-payment reviews 
may require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and to pursue the reversal of payment denials, and 
ultimately may require us to refund amounts paid to us by Medicare that are determined to have been overpaid.

Most of our critical illness recovery hospitals are subject to short-term leases, and the loss of multiple leases close in time 
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We lease most of our critical illness recovery hospitals under short-term leases with terms of less than ten years. These 
leases often do not have favorable renewal options and generally cannot be renewed or extended without the written consent of 
the landlords thereunder.  If we cannot renew or extend a significant number of our existing leases, or if the terms for lease 
renewal or extension offered by landlords on a significant number of leases are unacceptable to us, then the loss of multiple 
leases close in time could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our  facilities  are  subject  to  extensive  federal  and  state  laws  and  regulations  relating  to  the  privacy  of  individually 
identifiable information.

HIPAA required the United States Department of Health and Human Services to adopt standards to protect the privacy 
and  security  of  individually  identifiable  health  information.  The  department  released  final  regulations  containing  privacy 
standards  in  December  2000  and  published  revisions  to  the  final  regulations  in  August  2002.  The  privacy  regulations 
extensively regulate the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information. The regulations also provide patients 
with  significant  new  rights  related  to  understanding  and  controlling  how  their  health  information  is  used  or  disclosed.  The 
security  regulations  require  healthcare  providers  to  implement  administrative,  physical  and  technical  practices  to  protect  the 
security  of  individually  identifiable  health  information  that  is  maintained  or  transmitted  electronically.  HITECH,  which  was 
signed  into  law  in  February  2009,  enhanced  the  privacy,  security,  and  enforcement  provisions  of  HIPAA  by,  among  other 
things, establishing security breach notification requirements, allowing enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and 
increasing  penalties  for  HIPAA  violations.  Violations  of  HIPAA  or  HITECH  could  result  in  civil  or  criminal  penalties.  For 
example,  HITECH  permits  HHS  to  conduct  audits  of  HIPAA  compliance  and  impose  penalties  even  if  we  did  not  know  or 
reasonably could not have known about the violation and increases civil monetary penalty amounts up to $50,000 per violation 
with a maximum of $1.5 million in a calendar year for violations of the same requirement.

In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy 
concerns, including unauthorized access, or theft of patient’s identifiable health information. State statutes and regulations vary 
from  state  to  state.  Lawsuits,  including  class  actions  and  action  by  state  attorneys  general,  directed  at  companies  that  have 
experienced a privacy or security breach also can occur.

In  the  conduct  of  our  business,  we  process,  maintain,  and  transmit  sensitive  data,  including  our  patient’s  individually 
identifiable  health  information.  We  have  developed  a  comprehensive  set  of  policies  and  procedures  in  our  efforts  to  comply 
with HIPAA and other privacy laws. Our compliance officer, privacy officer, and information security officer are responsible 
for implementing and monitoring compliance with our privacy and security policies and procedures at our facilities. We believe 
that the cost of our compliance with HIPAA and other federal and state privacy laws will not have a material adverse effect on 
our  business,  financial  condition,  results  of  operations,  or  cash  flows.  However,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  a  breach  of 
privacy or security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various lawsuits, penalties and damages and may be 
required to incur costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

We may be adversely affected by a security breach of our, or our third-party vendors’, information technology systems, 
such as a cyber attack, which may cause a violation of HIPAA or HITECH and subject us to potential legal and reputational 
harm.

In the normal course of business, our information technology systems hold sensitive patient information including patient 
demographic  data,  eligibility  for  various  medical  plans  including  Medicare  and  Medicaid,  and  protected  health  information, 
which is subject to HIPAA and HITECH. Additionally, we utilize those same systems to perform our day-to-day activities, such 
as receiving referrals, assigning medical teams to patients, documenting medical information, maintaining an accurate record of 
all transactions, processing payments, and maintaining our employee’s personal information. We also contract with third-party 
vendors to maintain and store our patient’s individually identifiable health information. Numerous state and federal laws and 
regulations  address  privacy  and  information  security  concerns  resulting  from  our  access  to  our  patient’s  and  employee’s 
personal information.

Our information technology systems and those of our vendors that process, maintain, and transmit such data are subject to 
computer  viruses,  cyber  attacks,  or  breaches.  We  adhere  to  policies  and  procedures  designed  to  promote  compliance  with 
HIPAA  and  other  privacy  and  information  security  laws  and  require  our  third-party  vendors  to  do  so  as  well.  Failure  to 
maintain the security and functionality of our information systems and related software, or to defend a cybersecurity attack or 
other attempt to gain unauthorized access to our or third-party’s systems, facilities, or patient health information could expose 
us to a number of adverse consequences, including but not limited to disruptions in our operations, regulatory and other civil 
and criminal penalties, reputational harm, investigations and enforcement actions (including, but not limited to, those arising 
from the SEC, Federal Trade Commission, the OIG or state attorneys general), fines, litigation with those affected by the data 
breach, loss of customers, disputes with payors, and increased operating expense, which either individually or in the aggregate 
could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial  position,  results  of  operations,  and  liquidity.  Although  we 
maintain cyber liability insurance to protect us from losses related to cyber attacks and breaches, not every risk or liability can 
be  insured,  and  for  risks  that  are  insurable,  our  policy  limits  and  terms  of  coverage  may  not  be  sufficient  to  cover  all  actual 
losses or liabilities incurred. 

33

Table of Contents

Furthermore,  while  our  information  technology  systems,  and  those  of  our  third-party  vendors,  are  maintained  with 
safeguards protecting against cyber attacks, including passive intrusion protection, firewalls, and virus detection software, these 
safeguards  do  not  ensure  that  a  significant  cyber  attack  could  not  occur.  A  cyber  attack  that  bypasses  our  information 
technology security systems, or those of our third-party vendors, could cause the loss of protected health information, or other 
data  subject  to  privacy  laws,  the  loss  of  proprietary  business  information,  or  a  material  disruption  to  our  or  a  third-party 
vendor’s  information  technology  business  systems  resulting  in  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial  condition, 
results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, our future results could be adversely affected due to the theft, destruction, loss, 
misappropriation,  or  release  of  protected  health  information,  other  confidential  data  or  proprietary  business  information, 
operational  or  business  delays  resulting  from  the  disruption  of  information  technology  systems  and  subsequent  clean-up  and 
mitigation  activities,  negative  publicity  resulting  in  reputation  or  brand  damage  with  clients,  members,  or  industry  peers,  or 
regulatory  action  taken  as  a  result  of  such  incident.  We  provide  our  employees  annual  training  and  regular  reminders  on 
important  measures  they  can  take  to  prevent  breaches  and  other  cyber  threats.  We  routinely  identify  attempts  to  gain 
unauthorized access to our systems. However, given the rapidly evolving nature and proliferation of cyber threats, there can be 
no  assurance  our  training  and  network  security  measures  or  other  controls  will  detect,  prevent,  or  remediate  security  or  data 
breaches  in  a  timely  manner  or  otherwise  prevent  unauthorized  access  to,  damage  to,  or  interruption  of  our  systems  and 
operations. For example, it has been widely reported that many well-organized international interests, in certain cases with the 
backing of sovereign governments, are targeting the theft of patient information through the use of advance persistent threats. 
Similarly, in recent years, several hospitals have reported being the victim of ransomware attacks in which they lost access to 
their  systems,  including  clinical  systems,  during  the  course  of  the  attacks.  While  we  are  not  aware  of  having  experienced  a 
material cyber breach or attack to date, we are likely to face attempted attacks in the future. Accordingly, we may be vulnerable 
to losses associated with the improper functioning, security breach, or unavailability of our information systems as well as any 
systems used in acquired operations.

Our acquisitions require transitions and integration of various information technology systems, and we regularly upgrade 
and expand our information technology systems’ capabilities. If we experience difficulties with the transition and integration of 
these systems or are unable to implement, maintain, or expand our systems properly, we could suffer from, among other things, 
operational disruptions, regulatory problems, working capital disruptions, and increases in administrative expenses. While we 
make significant efforts to address any information security issues and vulnerabilities with respect to the companies we acquire, 
we may still inherit risks of security breaches or other compromises when we integrate these companies within our business. 

Quality reporting requirements may negatively impact Medicare reimbursement.

The  IMPACT  Act  requires  the  submission  of  standardized  data  by  certain  healthcare  providers.  Specifically, 
the IMPACT Act requires, among other significant activities, the reporting of standardized patient assessment data with regard 
to quality measures, resource use, and other measures. Failure to report data as required will subject providers to a 2% reduction 
in market basket prices then in effect. Additionally, reporting activities associated with the IMPACT Act are anticipated to be 
quite burdensome. CMS proposes to require hospitals to have a discharge planning process that focuses on patients’ goals and 
preferences and on preparing them and, as appropriate, their caregivers, to be active partners in their post-discharge care. The 
adoption of these and additional quality reporting measures for our hospitals to track and report will require additional time and 
expense and could affect reimbursement in the future. In healthcare generally, the burdens associated with collecting, recording, 
and reporting quality data are increasing.

There can be no assurance that all of our hospitals will continue to meet quality reporting requirements in the future which 
may  result  in  one  or  more  of  our  hospitals  seeing  a  reduction  in  its  Medicare  reimbursements.  Regardless,  we,  like  other 
healthcare  providers,  are  likely  to  incur  additional  expenses  in  an  effort  to  comply  with  additional  and  changing  quality 
reporting requirements.

We may be adversely affected by negative publicity which can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and 
possibly adverse regulatory changes.

Negative  press  coverage,  including  about  the  industries  in  which  we  currently  operate,  can  result  in  increased 
governmental and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes. Adverse publicity and increased governmental 
scrutiny can have a negative impact on our reputation with referral sources and patients and on the morale and performance of 
our employees, both of which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

Current  and  future  acquisitions  may  use  significant  resources,  may  be  unsuccessful,  and  could  expose  us  to  unforeseen 
liabilities.

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, 
outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and other related healthcare facilities and services. These acquisitions, may involve significant 
cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses, and compliance risks that could have a material 
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

We  may  not  be  able  to  successfully  integrate  our  acquired  businesses  into  ours,  and  therefore,  we  may  not  be  able  to 
realize the intended benefits from an acquisition. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, our financial condition and 
results of operations may be materially adversely affected. These acquisitions could result in difficulties integrating acquired 
operations,  technologies,  and  personnel  into  our  business.  Such  difficulties  may  divert  significant  financial,  operational,  and 
managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic objectives. 
We may fail to retain employees or patients acquired through these acquisitions, which may negatively impact the integration 
efforts. These acquisitions could also have a negative impact on our results of operations if it is subsequently determined that 
goodwill or other acquired intangible assets are impaired, thus resulting in an impairment charge in a future period.

In addition, these acquisitions involve risks that the acquired businesses will not perform in accordance with expectations; 
that  we  may  become  liable  for  unforeseen  financial  or  business  liabilities  of  the  acquired  businesses,  including  liabilities  for 
failure to comply with healthcare regulations; that the expected synergies associated with acquisitions will not be achieved; and 
that  business  judgments  concerning  the  value,  strengths,  and  weaknesses  of  businesses  acquired  will  prove  incorrect,  which 
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Future joint ventures may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful, and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

As part of our growth strategy, we have partnered and may partner with large healthcare systems to provide post-acute 
care  services.  These  joint  ventures  have  included  and  may  involve  significant  cash  expenditures,  debt  incurrence,  additional 
operating losses and expenses, and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and 
results of operations.

A joint venture involves the combining of corporate cultures and mission. As a result, we may not be able to successfully 
operate a joint venture, and therefore, we may not be able to realize the intended benefits. If we fail to successfully execute a 
joint venture relationship, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. A new joint 
venture could result in difficulties in combining operations, technologies, and personnel. Such difficulties may divert significant 
financial,  operational,  and  managerial  resources  from  our  existing  operations  and  make  it  more  difficult  to  achieve  our 
operating and strategic objectives. We may fail to retain employees or patients as a result of the integration efforts.

A joint venture is operated through a board of directors that contains representatives of Select and other parties to the joint 
venture. We may not control the board of certain joint ventures and, as a result, such joint ventures may take certain actions that 
could have adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

If  we  fail  to  compete  effectively  with  other  hospitals,  clinics,  occupational  health  centers,  and  healthcare  providers  in  the 
local areas we serve, our revenue and profitability may decline.

The  healthcare  business  is  highly  competitive,  and  we  compete  with  other  hospitals,  rehabilitation  clinics,  occupational 
health  centers,  and  other  healthcare  providers  for  patients.  If  we  are  unable  to  compete  effectively  in  the  critical  illness 
recovery,  rehabilitation  hospital,  outpatient  rehabilitation,  and  occupational  health  services  businesses,  our  ability  to  retain 
customers and physicians, or maintain or increase our revenue growth, price flexibility, control over medical cost trends, and 
marketing expenses may be compromised and our revenue and profitability may decline.

Many  of  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  operate  in  geographic  areas  where  we 

compete with at least one other facility that provides similar services.

Our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  face  competition  from  a  variety  of  local  and  national  outpatient  rehabilitation 
providers, including physician-owned physical therapy clinics, dedicated locally owned and managed outpatient rehabilitation 
clinics, and hospital or university owned or affiliated ventures, as well as national and regional providers in select areas. Other 
competing  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  in  local  areas  we  serve  may  have  greater  name  recognition  and  longer  operating 
histories than our clinics. The managers of these competing clinics may also have stronger relationships with physicians in their 
communities,  which  could  give  them  a  competitive  advantage  for  patient  referrals.  Because  the  barriers  to  entry  are  not 
substantial and current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, we believe that new 
outpatient physical therapy competitors can emerge relatively quickly.

Concentra’s  primary  competitors  have  typically  been  independent  physicians,  hospital  emergency  departments,  and 
hospital-owned or hospital-affiliated medical facilities. Because the barriers to entry in Concentra’s geographic markets are not 
substantial and its current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, new competitors to 
Concentra  can  emerge  relatively  quickly.  The  markets  for  Concentra’s  consumer  health  business  are  also  fragmented  and 
competitive. If Concentra’s competitors are better able to attract patients or expand services at their facilities than Concentra is, 
Concentra may experience an overall decline in revenue.

Future cost containment initiatives undertaken by private third-party payors may limit our future revenue and profitability.

Initiatives undertaken by major insurers and managed care companies to contain healthcare costs affect our profitability. 
These payors attempt to control healthcare costs by contracting with hospitals and other healthcare providers to obtain services 
on a discounted basis. We believe that this trend may continue and may limit reimbursements for healthcare services. If insurers 
or managed care companies from whom we receive substantial payments reduce the amounts they pay for services, our profit 
margins may decline, or we may lose patients if we choose not to renew our contracts with these insurers at lower rates.

If we fail to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve, our revenue may decrease.

Our  success  is  partially  dependent  upon  the  admissions  and  referral  practices  of  the  physicians  in  the  communities  our 
critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, and outpatient rehabilitation clinics serve, and our ability to maintain 
good relations with these physicians. Physicians referring patients to our hospitals and clinics are generally not our employees 
and, in many of the local areas that we serve, most physicians have admitting privileges at other hospitals and are free to refer 
their  patients  to  other  providers.  If  we  are  unable  to  successfully  cultivate  and  maintain  strong  relationships  with  these 
physicians, our hospitals’ admissions and our facilities’ and clinics’ businesses may decrease, and our revenue may decline.

Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team.

Our  success  depends  to  a  significant  degree  upon  the  continued  contributions  of  our  senior  officers  and  other  key 
employees, and our ability to retain and motivate these individuals. We currently have employment agreements in place with 
three executive officers and change in control agreements and/or non-competition agreements with several other officers. Many 
of these individuals also have significant equity ownership in our company. We do not maintain any key life insurance policies 
for  any  of  our  employees.  The  loss  of  the  services  of  certain  of  these  individuals  could  disrupt  significant  aspects  of  our 
business, could prevent us from successfully executing our business strategy, and could have a material adverse effect on our 
results of operations.

In  conducting  our  business,  we  are  required  to  comply  with  applicable  laws  regarding  fee-splitting  and  the  corporate 
practice of medicine.

Some  states  prohibit  the  “corporate  practice  of  medicine”  that  restricts  business  corporations  from  practicing  medicine 
through  the  direct  employment  of  physicians  or  from  exercising  control  over  medical  decisions  by  physicians.  Some  states 
similarly prohibit the “corporate practice of therapy.” The laws relating to corporate practice vary from state to state and are not 
fully developed in each state in which we have facilities. Typically, however, professional corporations owned and controlled 
by  licensed  professionals  are  exempt  from  corporate  practice  restrictions  and  may  employ  physicians  or  therapists  to  furnish 
professional services. Also, in some states, hospitals are permitted to employ physicians.

Some states also prohibit entities from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians or 
therapists.  The  laws  relating  to  fee-splitting  also  vary  from  state  to  state  and  are  not  fully  developed.  Generally,  these  laws 
restrict  business  arrangements  that  involve  a  physician  or  therapist  sharing  medical  fees  with  a  referral  source,  but  in  some 
states,  these  laws  have  been  interpreted  to  extend  to  management  agreements  between  physicians  or  therapists  and  business 
entities under some circumstances.

We  believe  that  the  Company’s  current  and  planned  activities  do  not  constitute  fee-splitting  or  the  unlawful  corporate 
practice of medicine as contemplated by these state laws. However, there can be no assurance that future interpretations of such 
laws  will  not  require  structural  and  organizational  modification  of  our  existing  relationships  with  the  practices.  If  a  court  or 
regulatory body determines that we have violated these laws or if new laws are introduced that would render our arrangements 
illegal,  we  could  be  subject  to  civil  or  criminal  penalties,  our  contracts  could  be  found  legally  invalid  and  unenforceable  (in 
whole or in part), or we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements with our affiliated physicians and other 
licensed providers.

Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

Physicians,  hospitals,  and  other  healthcare  providers  have  become  subject  to  an  increasing  number  of  legal  actions 
alleging  malpractice,  product  liability,  or  related  legal  theories.  Many  of  these  actions  involve  large  claims  and  significant 
defense costs. We are also subject to lawsuits under federal and state whistleblower statutes designed to combat fraud and abuse 
in  the  healthcare  industry.  These  whistleblower  lawsuits  are  not  covered  by  insurance  and  can  involve  significant  monetary 
damages  and  award  bounties  to  private  plaintiffs  who  successfully  bring  the  suits.  See  “Legal  Proceedings”  and  Note  21  – 
Commitments and Contingencies in our audited consolidated financial statements.

We  currently  maintain  professional  malpractice  liability  insurance  and  general  liability  insurance  coverages  through  a 
number  of  different  programs  that  are  dependent  upon  such  factors  as  the  state  where  we  are  operating  and  whether  the 
operations are wholly owned or are operated through a joint venture. For our wholly owned operations, we currently maintain 
insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $37.0 million for professional 
malpractice  liability  insurance  and  $40.0  million  for  general  liability  insurance.  Our  insurance  for  the  professional  liability 
coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis, and our commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” 
basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded. For our joint venture operations, we have designed 
a separate insurance program that responds to the risks of specific joint ventures. Most of our joint ventures are insured under a 
master  program  with  an  annual  aggregate  limit  of  up  to  $80.0  million,  subject  to  a  sublimit  aggregate  ranging  from  $23.0 
million to $33.0 million for most joint ventures. The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis.  Each of these 
programs  has  either  a  deductible  or  self-insured  retention  limit.  We  review  our  insurance  program  annually  and  may  make 
adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. In addition, our insurance coverage 
does not generally cover punitive damages and may not cover all claims against us. See “Business—Government Regulations—
Other Healthcare Regulations.”

Concentration  of  ownership  among  our  existing  executives  and  directors  may  prevent  new  investors  from  influencing 
significant corporate decisions.

Our executives and directors, beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 18.8% of Holdings’ outstanding common 
stock as of February 1, 2021. As a result, these stockholders have significant control over our management and policies and are 
able to exercise influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our 
certificate of incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions. The directors elected by these stockholders are 
able  to  make  decisions  affecting  our  capital  structure,  including  decisions  to  issue  additional  capital  stock,  implement  stock 
repurchase  programs,  and  incur  indebtedness.  This  influence  may  have  the  effect  of  deterring  hostile  takeovers,  delaying  or 
preventing  changes  in  control  or  changes  in  management,  or  limiting  the  ability  of  our  other  stockholders  to  approve 
transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest.

Risks Related to Our Capital Structure

If WCAS and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent or DHHC exercise their Put Right, it may have an 
adverse effect on our liquidity. Additionally, we may not have adequate funds to pay amounts due in connection with the Put 
Right, if exercised, in which case we would be required to issue Holdings’ common stock to purchase interests of Concentra 
Group Holdings Parent and our stockholders’ ownership interest will be diluted.

Pursuant  to  the  Amended  and  Restated  Limited  Liability  Company  Agreement  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent, 
WCAS and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent and DHHC have separate put rights (each, a “Put Right”) 
with  respect  to  their  equity  interests  in  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent.  If  a  Put  Right  is  exercised  by  WCAS  or  DHHC, 
Select will be obligated to purchase up to 33 1/3% of the equity interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent that WCAS or 
DHHC,  respectively,  owned  as  of  February  1,  2018,  at  a  purchase  price  based  on  a  valuation  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings 
Parent performed by an investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or DHHC, which valuation will be 
based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability 
Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent) and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select has the 
right to elect to pay the purchase price in cash or in shares of Holdings’ common stock. 

On January 1, 2020, February 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, Select, WCAS and DHHC consummated the Concentra 
Interest Purchases, which were in lieu of, and collectively deemed to constitute, the exercises of WCAS’ and DHHC’s first and 
second  Put  Rights,  pursuant  to  which  Select  acquired  an  aggregate  amount  of  approximately  30%  of  the  outstanding 
membership interests, on a fully diluted basis, of Concentra Group Holdings Parent from WCAS, DHHC and the other equity 
holders  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent,  in  exchange  for  an  aggregate  payment  of  approximately  $576.4  million.  Upon 
consummation  of  the  Concentra  Interest  Purchases,  Select  owns  in  the  aggregate  approximately  78.0%  of  the  outstanding 
membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent on a fully diluted basis and approximately 79.8% of the outstanding 
voting membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent. 

WCAS and DHHC may exercise their remaining respective Put Rights to sell up to an additional 33 1/3% of the equity 
interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent that each, respectively, owned as of February 1, 2018, on an annual basis during 
the  sixty-day  period  following  the  delivery  of  the  audited  financial  statements  for  the  immediately  preceding  fiscal  year.  If 
WCAS exercises future Put Rights, the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, other than DHHC, may elect to 
sell to Select, on the same terms as WCAS, a percentage of their equity interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent that such 
member owned as of February 1, 2018, up to but not exceeding the percentage of equity interests owned by WCAS as of such 
date that WCAS has determined to sell to Select in the exercise of its Put Right. 

Furthermore, WCAS, DHHC, and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent have a put right with respect to 
their equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent that may only be exercised in the event Holdings or Select experiences 
a  change  of  control  that  has  not  been  previously  approved  by  WCAS  and  DHHC,  and  which  results  in  change  in  the  senior 
management of Select (an “SEM COC Put Right”). If an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by WCAS, Select will be obligated 
to  purchase  all  (but  not  less  than  all)  of  the  equity  interests  of  WCAS  and  the  other  members  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings 
Parent  (other  than  DHHC)  offered  by  such  members  at  a  purchase  price  based  on  a  valuation  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings 
Parent performed by an investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or DHHC, which valuation will be 
based  on  certain  precedent  transactions  using  multiples  of  EBITDA  and  capped  at  an  agreed  upon  multiple  of  EBITDA. 
Similarly, if an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by DHHC, Select will be obligated to purchase all (but not less than all) of the 
equity  interests  of  DHHC  at  a  purchase  price  based  on  a  valuation  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent  performed  by  an 
investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or DHHC, which valuation will be based on certain precedent 
transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA.

We  may  not  have  sufficient  funds,  borrowing  capacity,  or  other  capital  resources  available  to  pay  for  the  interests  of 
Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent  in  cash  if  WCAS,  DHHC,  and  the  other  members  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent 
exercise the Put Right or the SEM COC Put Right, or may be prohibited from doing so under the terms of our debt agreements. 
Such lack of available funds upon the exercising of the Put Right or the SEM COC Put Right would force us to issue stock at a 
time  we  might  not  otherwise  desire  to  do  so  in  order  to  purchase  the  interests  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent.  To  the 
extent that the interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent are purchased by issuing shares of our common stock, the increase 
in  the  number  of  shares  of  our  common  stock  issued  and  outstanding  may  depress  the  price  of  our  common  stock  and  our 
stockholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in us. In addition, shares issued to purchase the 
interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent will be valued at the twenty-one trading day volume-weighted average sales price 
of such shares for the period beginning ten trading days immediately preceding the first public announcement of the Put Right 
or the SEM COC Put Right being exercised and ending ten trading days immediately following such announcement. Because 
the value of the common stock issued to purchase the interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent is, in part, determined by 
the  sales  price  of  our  common  stock  following  the  announcement  that  the  Put  Right  or  the  SEM  COC  Put  Right  is  being 
exercised, which may cause the sales price of our common stock to decline, the amount of common stock we may have to issue 
to  purchase  the  interests  in  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent  may  increase,  resulting  in  further  dilution  to  our  existing 
stockholders.

Our substantial indebtedness may limit the amount of cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness.  As of December 31, 2020, Select had approximately $3,391.7 million of 
total  indebtedness,  and  Concentra  had  approximately  $1,143.4  million  of  total  indebtedness,  $1,133.1  million  of  which  was 
intercompany debt owed to Select. As of December 31, 2020, our total indebtedness to third parties was $3,402.0 million. Our 
indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it:

•

•

•

requires  us  to  dedicate  a  substantial  portion  of  our  cash  flow  from  operations  to  payments  on  our  indebtedness, 
reducing  the  availability  of  our  cash  flow  to  fund  working  capital,  capital  expenditures,  development  activity, 
acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes;

increases our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;

limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industries in which we operate;

• makes us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are at 

variable rates;

•

•

limits our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital or other purposes; and

places us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness.

Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, 
prospects, and ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness. In addition, there would be a material adverse effect on 
our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows if we were unable to service our indebtedness or obtain 
additional  financing,  as  needed.  Furthermore,  Concentra’s  failure  to  repay  its  intercompany  debt  to  Select  could  result  in 
Select’s inability to service its indebtedness, leading to the consequences described above. 

See  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—Liquidity  and  Capital 

Resources.”

The Select credit facilities and the indenture governing Select’s 6.250% senior notes require Select to comply with certain 
financial covenants and obligations, the default of which may result in the acceleration of certain of Select’s indebtedness.

In  the  case  of  an  event  of  default  under  the  agreements  governing  the  Select  credit  facilities  (as  defined  below),  the 
lenders under such agreements could elect to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other 
fees, to be due and payable. If Select is unable to obtain a waiver from the requisite lenders under such circumstances, these 
lenders could exercise their rights, then Select’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected, and 
Select could become bankrupt or insolvent.

The Select credit facilities require Select to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness to consolidated 
EBITDA as defined in the agreements governing the Select credit facilities), which is tested quarterly. Failure to comply with 
these covenants would result in an event of default under the Select credit facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from 
the lenders, preclude Select from making further borrowings under its revolving facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all 
outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities.

39

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2020, Select was required to maintain its leverage ratio (its ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated 
EBITDA for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters) at less than 7.00 to 1.00. At December 31, 2020, Select’s leverage ratio 
was 3.48 to 1.00.

While Select has never defaulted on compliance with any of its financial covenants, Select’s ability to comply with this 
ratio in the future may be affected by events beyond its control. Inability to comply with the required financial covenants could 
result  in  a  default  under  the  Select  credit  facilities.  In  the  event  of  any  default  under  Select’s  credit  facilities,  the  revolving 
lenders  could  elect  to  terminate  borrowing  commitments  and  declare  all  borrowings  outstanding,  together  with  accrued  and 
unpaid interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. In the event of any default under Select’s indenture, dated 
August  1,  2019,  by  and  among  Select,  the  guarantors  named  therein  and  U.S.  Bank  National  Association,  as  trustee  (the 
“Indenture”), the trustee or holders of 25% of the notes could declare all outstanding 6.250% senior notes immediately due and 
payable.

The Concentra credit facilities require Concentra to comply with certain financial covenants and obligations, the default of 
which may result in the acceleration of certain of Concentra’s indebtedness.

In  the  case  of  an  event  of  default  under  the  agreement  (the  “Concentra-JPM  first  lien  credit  agreement”)  governing 
Concentra’s revolving facility (the “Concentra-JPM revolving facility” and, together with the Concentra-JPM first lien credit 
agreement, the “Concentra-JPM credit facilities”), which is nonrecourse to Select, the lenders under such agreement could elect 
to  declare  all  amounts  borrowed,  if  any,  together  with  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  and  other  fees,  to  be  due  and  payable.  If 
Concentra is unable to obtain a waiver from these lenders under such circumstances, the lenders could exercise their rights, then 
Concentra’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected, and Concentra could become bankrupt or 
insolvent. As of December 31, 2020, there is no indebtedness outstanding under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility.

The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement requires Concentra to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of 
indebtedness for money borrowed to consolidated EBITDA) of 5.75 to 1.00, which is tested quarterly, but only if Revolving 
Exposure (as defined in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement) exceeds 30% of Revolving Commitments (as defined in 
the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement) on such day. Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an event of 
default  under  the  Concentra-JPM  first  lien  credit  agreement  only  and,  absent  a  waiver  or  an  amendment  from  the  revolving 
lenders,  preclude  Concentra  from  making  further  borrowings  under  the  Concentra-JPM  revolving  facility  and  permit  the 
revolving lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility. Upon such acceleration, 
Concentra’s  failure  to  comply  with  the  financial  covenant  would  result  in  an  event  of  default  with  respect  to  the  Concentra 
intercompany loan agreement (as defined below).

The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including 
limitations  on  mergers,  consolidations,  and  dissolutions;  sales  of  assets;  investments  and  acquisitions;  indebtedness;  liens; 
affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement contains events of 
default  for  non-payment  of  principal  and  interest  when  due  (subject  to  a  grace  period  for  interest),  cross-default  and  cross-
acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.

While Concentra has never defaulted on compliance with its financial covenants, Concentra’s ability to comply with  this 
ratio in the future may be affected by events beyond our control. Inability to comply with the required financial covenants could 
result in a default under the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement. In the event of any default under the Concentra-JPM 
first lien credit agreement, the revolving lenders could elect to terminate borrowing commitments and declare all borrowings 
outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable.

Payment of interest on, and repayment of principal of, our indebtedness is dependent in part on cash flow generated by our 
subsidiaries.

Payment  of  interest  on,  and  repayment  of,  principal  of  our  indebtedness  will  be  dependent  in  part  upon  cash  flow 
generated by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment, or otherwise. In 
particular,  Concentra’s  inability  to  make  interest  and  principal  payments  when  due  to  Select,  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the 
Concentra intercompany loan agreement, may result in Select’s inability to service its debt to third parties. Our subsidiaries may 
not be able to, or be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness. Each of our 
subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to 
obtain cash from our subsidiaries. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to 
make  required  principal  and  interest  payments  on  our  indebtedness.  In  addition,  any  payment  of  interest,  dividends, 
distributions,  loans,  or  advances  by  our  subsidiaries  to  us  could  be  subject  to  restrictions  on  dividends  or  repatriation  of 
distributions  under  applicable  local  law,  monetary  transfer  restrictions,  and  foreign  currency  exchange  regulations  in  the 
jurisdictions  in  which  the  subsidiaries  operate  or  under  arrangements  with  local  partners.  Furthermore,  the  ability  of  our 
subsidiaries  to  make  such  payments  of  interest,  dividends,  distributions,  loans,  or  advances  may  be  contested  by  taxing 
authorities in the relevant jurisdictions.

Despite  our  substantial  level  of  indebtedness,  we  and  our  subsidiaries  may  be  able  to  incur  additional  indebtedness.  This 
could further exacerbate the risks described above.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Although the Select credit facilities, 
the  Indenture  and  the  Concentra-JPM  first  lien  credit  agreement  contain  restrictions  on  the  incurrence  of  additional 
indebtedness,  these  restrictions  are  subject  to  a  number  of  qualifications  and  exceptions,  and  the  indebtedness  incurred  in 
compliance  with  these  restrictions  could  be  substantial.  Also,  these  restrictions  do  not  prevent  us  or  our  subsidiaries  from 
incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. As of December 31, 2020, Select had $410.7 million of availability 
under the Select revolving facility (as defined below) (after giving effect to $39.3 million of outstanding letters of credit) and 
Concentra had $83.6 million of availability under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility (after giving effect to $16.4 million of 
outstanding  letters  of  credit).  In  addition,  to  the  extent  new  debt  is  added  to  us  and  our  subsidiaries’  current  debt  levels,  the 
substantial leverage risks described above would increase.

Concentra’s  inability  to  meet  the  conditions  and  payments  under  the  Concentra-JPM  revolving  facility  could  jeopardize 
Select’s equity investment in Concentra.

Select is not a party to the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement and is not an obligor with respect to Concentra’s 
debt  under  the  Concentra-JPM  revolving  facility;  however,  if  Concentra  fails  to  meet  its  obligations  and  defaults  on  the 
Concentra-JPM revolving facility, a portion of or all of Select’s equity investment in Concentra could be at risk of loss.

Changes in the method of determining London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or the replacement of LIBOR with an 
alternative reference rate, may adversely affect interest expense related to our debt.

Amounts drawn under the Select credit facilities bear interest rates at the election of the borrower, in relation to LIBOR or 
an alternate base rate. On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. announced that it would phase out LIBOR 
as a benchmark by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it 
continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a newly created index 
called  the  Secured  Overnight  Financing  Rate,  calculated  with  a  broad  set  of  short-term  repurchase  agreements  backed  by 
treasury securities. The Select credit facilities contain certain provisions concerning the possibility that LIBOR may cease to 
exist, and that an alternative reference rate may be chosen. However, if LIBOR in fact ceases to exist, and no alternative rate is 
acceptable to Select or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent to the Select credit agreement, amounts drawn under the Select 
credit  facilities  would  be  subject  to  the  alternate  base  rate,  which  may  be  a  higher  interest  rate  than  LIBOR  which  would 
increase our interest expense. As a result, we may need to renegotiate the Select credit facilities and may not be able to do so 
with terms that are favorable to us. The overall financial market may be disrupted as a result of the phase-out or replacement of 
LIBOR. Disruption in the financial market or the inability to renegotiate the credit facility with favorable terms could have a 
material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and operating results. 

We may be unable to refinance our debt on terms favorable to us or at all, which would negatively impact our business 

and financial condition.

We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient 
to  meet  required  payments  of  principal  and  interest.  While  we  intend  to  refinance  all  of  our  indebtedness  before  it  matures, 
there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness, that such refinancing will be on terms as 
favorable to us as the terms of the maturing indebtedness or, if the indebtedness cannot be refinanced, that we will be able to 
otherwise  obtain  funds  by  selling  assets  or  raising  equity  to  make  required  payments  on  our  maturing  indebtedness. 
Furthermore,  if  prevailing  interest  rates  or  other  factors  at  the  time  of  refinancing  result  in  higher  interest  rates  upon 
refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. If we are unable to refinance our 
indebtedness  at  or  before  maturity  or  otherwise  meet  our  payment  obligations,  our  business  and  financial  condition  will  be 
negatively  impacted,  and  we  may  be  in  default  under  our  indebtedness.  Any  default  under  the  Select  credit  facilities  would 
permit lenders to foreclose on our assets and would also be deemed a default under the Indenture governing Select’s 6.250% 
senior notes, which may also result in the acceleration of that indebtedness, and, although Select is not an obligor with respect 
to Concentra’s debt under such agreements, if Concentra fails to meet its obligations and defaults on the Concentra-JPM first 
lien credit agreement, a portion of or all of Select’s equity investment in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, the indirect parent 
company of Concentra, could be at risk of loss.

See  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—Liquidity  and  Capital

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a loss on early retirement debt of $0.8 million 
relating  to  the  repayment  of  series  D  tranche  B  term  loans  under  Select’s  2011  senior  secured  credit  facility. 
Additionally, on September 26, 2016, Concentra Inc. prepaid the term loans outstanding under its second lien credit 
agreement. The premium plus the expensing of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issuance discount resulted

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company refinanced Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility. The 
expensing of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount, as well as certain fees incurred in connection 
with the refinancing, resulted in a loss on early retirement of debt of $19.7 million. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company refinanced the Select credit facilities and the Concentra-JPM 
first lien credit agreement. The expensing of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount, as well as

million.

first lien credit agreement. The Company also prepaid the term loans outstanding under both the Concentra-JPM first 
and second lien credit agreements and redeemed its 6.375% senior notes. The expensing of unamortized debt issuance 
costs and original issue discounts and premiums, as well as certain fees incurred in connection with these refinancing 
events, resulted in losses on early retirement of debt of $38.1 million.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read this discussion together with the “Selected Financial Data” and consolidated financial statements and 

accompanying notes included elsewhere herein.

Overview

We began operations in 1997 and, based on number of facilities, are one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery 
hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. As of 
December  31,  2020,  we  had  operations  in  46  states  and  the  District  of  Columbia.  We  operated  99  critical  illness  recovery 
hospitals  in  28  states,  30  rehabilitation  hospitals  in  12  states,  and  1,788  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  in  37  states  and  the 
District  of  Columbia.  Concentra,  a  joint  venture  subsidiary,  operated  517  occupational  health  centers  in  41  states  as  of 
December 31, 2020. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites. 

Our  reportable  segments  include  the  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  segment,  the  rehabilitation  hospital  segment,  the 
outpatient  rehabilitation  segment,  and  the  Concentra  segment.  We  had  revenue  of  $5,531.7  million  for  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2020.  Of  this  total,  we  earned  approximately  38%  of  our  revenue  from  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospital 
segment,  approximately  13%  from  our  rehabilitation  hospital  segment,  approximately  17%  from  our  outpatient  rehabilitation 
segment,  and  approximately  27%  from  our  Concentra  segment.  Our  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  segment  consists  of 
hospitals designed to serve the needs of patients recovering from critical illnesses, often with complex medical needs, and our 
rehabilitation hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive physical rehabilitation care. 
Patients  are  typically  admitted  to  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and  rehabilitation  hospitals  from  general  acute  care 
hospitals. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation 
services.  Our  Concentra  segment  consists  of  occupational  health  centers  that  provide  workers’  compensation  injury  care, 
physical therapy, and consumer health services as well as onsite clinics located at employer worksites that deliver occupational 
medicine services. 

Non-GAAP Measure

We  believe  that  the  presentation  of  Adjusted  EBITDA,  as  defined  below,  is  important  to  investors  because  Adjusted 
EBITDA  is  commonly  used  as  an  analytical  indicator  of  performance  by  investors  within  the  healthcare  industry.  Adjusted 
EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating 
segments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America (“GAAP”). Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and 
assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute 
for, net income, income from operations, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial 
statement  data  presented  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  as  indicators  of  financial  performance  or  liquidity.  Because 
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying definitions, 
Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on 
early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, acquisition costs associated with Physiotherapy and U.S. HealthWorks, 
gain  (loss)  on  sale  of  businesses,  and  equity  in  earnings  (losses)  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries.  We  will  refer  to  Adjusted 
EBITDA  throughout  the  remainder  of  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of 
Operations.

The  table  contained  within  “Selected  Financial  Data”  reconciles  net  income  and  income  from  operations  to  Adjusted 

EBITDA and should be referenced when we discuss Adjusted EBITDA.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations

The  continuing  implications  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  on  our  business,  results  of  operations  and  overall  financial 
performance remain uncertain. We provided monthly revenue and certain operating statistics for each of our segments for the 
years  ended  December  31,  2020  and  2019.  See  Item  1A.  “Risk  Factors”  for  further  discussion  of  the  possible  impact  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment.  Our critical illness recovery hospitals are a key component of the inpatient 
hospital continuum of care. Beginning in March 2020, a number of waivers and modifications of certain requirements under the 
Medicare,  Medicaid  and  CHIP  programs  were  authorized,  including  certain  regulations  concerning  patient  length  of  stay 
requirements under the Medicare program which apply to our critical illness recovery hospitals. The length of stay requirements 
were suspended in order to facilitate the transfer of patients from general acute care hospitals and expand hospital bed capacity 
to care for COVID-19 patients (see “Regulatory Changes” for further discussion of the temporary suspension of regulations). 
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we played a critical role in caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic due, 
in part, to our rapid preparation and implementation of modifications that supported the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

The  following  table  shows  revenue,  patient  days,  and  occupancy  rates  for  each  of  the  periods  presented,  as  well  as  the 

number of critical illness recovery hospitals we owned at the end of each period.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment.  Our rehabilitation hospitals receive most of their admissions from general acute care 
hospitals.  Beginning  in  March  2020,  a  number  of  waivers  and  modifications  of  certain  requirements  under  the  Medicare, 
Medicaid and CHIP programs were authorized, including certain regulations governing admissions into rehabilitation hospitals. 
This  was  done  in  order  to  facilitate  the  transfer  of  patients  from  general  acute  care  hospitals  and  critical  illness  recovery 
hospitals and to expand hospital bed capacity to care for COVID-19 patients (see “Regulatory Changes” for further discussion 
of the temporary suspension of regulations). Our rehabilitation hospitals were affected by the suspension of elective surgeries at 
hospitals  and  other  facilities  at  the  beginning  of  the  pandemic,  which  resulted  in  reduced  need  for  inpatient  rehabilitation 
services. Beginning in May 2020, state governments and health departments began to ease restrictions and hospitals began to 
perform elective surgeries again, which has increased the need for the services provided by our rehabilitation hospitals.

The  following  table  shows  revenue,  patient  days,  and  occupancy  rates  for  each  of  the  periods  presented,  as  well  as  the 

number of rehabilitation hospitals we owned at the end of each period.

Outpatient  Rehabilitation  Segment.    Beginning  in  mid-March  2020,  state  governments  began  implementing  mandatory 
closures  of  non-essential  or  non-life  sustaining  businesses,  restricting  travel  and  individual  activities  outside  of  the  home, 
closing schools, and mandating other social distancing measures. Additionally, hospitals and other facilities began to suspend 
elective surgeries. As a result, our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced significantly less patient visit volume due to a 
decline  in  patient  referrals  from  physicians,  a  reduction  in  workers’  compensation  injury  visits  resulting  from  the  temporary 
closure  of  businesses,  and  the  suspension  of  elective  surgeries  which  would  have  required  outpatient  rehabilitation  services.  
Beginning in May 2020, state governments began to ease restrictions imposed on businesses and individuals, physician offices 
began  reopening  for  routine  office  visits,  and  hospitals  and  other  facilities  began  performing  elective  surgeries  again,  which 
resulted in an increased need for the services provided by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics.

Concentra  Segment.    Beginning  in  mid-March  2020,  state  governments  began  placing  significant  restrictions  on 
businesses and mandating closures of non-essential or non-life sustaining businesses, causing many employers to furlough their 
workforce and temporarily cease or significantly reduce their operations. These actions had significant effects on our patient 
visit  volumes.  Beginning  in  May  2020,  state  governments  began  to  ease  restrictions  imposed  on  businesses  and  employers 
began  to  increase  their  workforce,  which  resulted  in  an  increased  need  for  our  occupational  health  services.  During  the  year 
ended  December  31,  2020,  Concentra  expanded  its  services  to  provide  COVID-19  screening  and  testing  at  its  centers  and 
various onsite clinics located at employer worksites.

Regulatory Changes

The  Medicare  program  reimburses  healthcare  providers  for  services  furnished  to  Medicare  beneficiaries,  which  are 
generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The 
program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the Department of Health and Human 
Services and CMS. Revenue generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 27%, 26%, and 25% of 
the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. 

The  Medicare  program  reimburses  various  types  of  providers  using  different  payment  methodologies.  Those  payment 
methodologies  are  complex  and  are  described  elsewhere  in  this  report  under  “Business—Government  Regulations.”  The 
following  is  a  discussion  of  some  of  the  more  significant  healthcare  regulatory  changes  that  have  affected  our  financial 
performance in the periods covered by this report or are likely to affect our financial performance and financial condition in the 
future.

Federal Health Care Program Changes in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

On January 31, 2020, HHS declared a public health emergency under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 
U.S.C.  §  247d,  in  response  to  the  COVID-19  outbreak  in  the  United  States.  The  HHS  Secretary  renewed  the  public  health 
emergency determination for 90-day periods effective on April 26, 2020, July 25, 2020, and October 23, 2020. On March 13, 
2020, President Trump declared a national emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the HHS Secretary authorized the 
waiver or modification of certain requirements under the Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP pursuant to section 1135 of the Social 
Security Act. Under this authority, CMS issued a number of blanket waivers that excuse health care providers or suppliers from 
specific program requirements. The following blanket waivers, while in effect, may impact our results of operations:

i.

IRFs, IRF units, and hospitals and units applying to be classified as IRFs, can exclude patients admitted solely to 
respond to the emergency from the calculation of the “60 percent rule” thresholds to receive payment as an IRF. 

ii. LTCHs  are  exempt  from  the  greater-than-25-day  average  length  of  stay  requirement  for  all  cost  reporting  periods 
that  include  the  COVID-19  public  health  emergency  period.  Hospitals  seeking  LTCH  classification  can  exclude 
patient  stays  from  the  greater-than-25-day  average  length  of  stay  requirement  where  the  patient  was  admitted  or 
discharged to meet the demands of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

iii. Medicare  expanded  the  types  of  health  care  professionals  who  can  furnish  telehealth  services  to  include  all  those 
who  are  eligible  to  bill  Medicare  for  their  professional  services.  This  allows  health  care  professionals  who  were 
previously ineligible to furnish and bill for Medicare telehealth services, including physical therapists, occupational 
therapists, speech language pathologists, and others, to receive payment for Medicare telehealth services.

iv. Medicare  will  not  require  out-of-state  physician  and  non-physician  practitioners  to  be  licensed  in  the  state  where 
they are providing services when they are licensed in another state, subject to certain conditions and state or local 
licensure requirements.

v. Many requirements under the hospital conditions of participation (“CoPs”) are waived during the emergency period 

to give hospitals more flexibility in treating COVID-19 patients.

vi. Hospitals  can  operate  temporary  expansion  locations  without  meeting  the  provider-based  entity  requirements  or 
certain requirements in the physical environment CoP for hospitals during the emergency. This waiver also allows 
hospitals to change the status of their current provider-based department locations to meet patient needs as part of 
the state or local pandemic plan.

vii. IRFs,  LTCHs  and  certain  other  providers  did  not  need  to  submit  quality  data  to  Medicare  for  October  1,  2019 

through June 30, 2020 to comply with the quality reporting programs.

viii. The  HHS  Secretary  waived  sanctions  under  the  physician  self-referral  law  (i.e.,  Stark  law)  for  certain  types  of 
remuneration  and  referral  arrangements  that  are  related  to  a  COVID-19  purpose.  The  OIG  will  also  exercise 
enforcement  discretion  to  not  impose  administrative  sanctions  under  the  federal  anti-kickback  statute  for  many 
payments covered by the Stark law waivers.

CMS  also  approved  section  1135  waivers  for  54  state  Medicaid  programs  (including  the  District  of  Columbia,  Puerto 
Rico,  and  other  territories),  51  temporary  changes  to  Medicaid  or  CHIP  state  plan  amendments,  3  traditional  changes  to 
Medicaid  state  plan  amendments,  and  section  1115  waivers  for  10  state  Medicaid  demonstration  projects  addressing  the 
COVID-19  public  health  emergency.  CMS  will  consider  specific  waiver  requests  from  providers  and  suppliers.  We  have 
submitted  one  or  more  specific  waiver  requests  to  make  it  easier  for  our  operators  or  referral  partners  to  treat  COVID-19 
patients, and we may submit others in the future.

Pursuant  to  the  Coronavirus  Preparedness  and  Response  Supplemental  Appropriations  Act,  Public  Law  116-123,  CMS 
has waived Medicare telehealth payment requirements during the emergency so that beneficiaries in all areas of the country (not 
just rural areas) can receive telehealth services, including in their homes, beginning on March 6, 2020. CMS issued additional 
waivers to permit more than 130 additional services to be furnished by telehealth, allow physicians to monitor patient services 
remotely, and fulfill face-to-face requirements in IRFs.

In  addition  to  these  agency  actions,  the  CARES  Act  was  enacted  on  March  27,  2020.  It  provides  additional  waivers, 
reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Some of 
the CARES Act provisions that may impact our operations include:

i.

$100 billion in appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund to be used for preventing, 
preparing, and responding to COVID-19, and for reimbursing “eligible health care providers for health care related 
expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus.” The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care 
Enhancement Act, Public Law 116-139, added $75 billion to this fund. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, 
added another $3 billion to this fund. HHS has allocated three general distributions from the fund for payments to 
Medicare providers. The Phase 1 General Distribution included $30 billion for health care providers that received 
Medicare fee-for-service payments in 2019. Another $20 billion was distributed to Medicare providers in a manner 
that  makes  the  entire  $50  billion  Phase  1  General  Distribution  proportional  to  each  provider’s  share  of  2018  net 
patient  revenue.  The  Phase  2  General  Distribution  allocated  $18  billion  for  providers  in  state  Medicaid/CHIP 
programs,  Medicaid  managed  care  plans,  dentists,  and  certain  Medicare  providers  who  did  not  receive  a  Phase  1 
General Distribution payment. The Phase 3 General Distribution includes $20 billion for providers to apply for if 
they suffered financial losses caused by COVID-19 or if they were previously ineligible for a general distribution. 
The remainder of the COVID-19 related appropriations to the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund is 
for  targeted  allocations  to  providers  in  high  impact  COVID-19  areas  ($22  billion),  rural  providers  (approximately 
$11.3  billion),  skilled  nursing  facilities  (approximately  $7.4  billion),  safety  net  hospitals  (approximately  $14.7 
billion),  Indian  Health  Service  ($500  million),  and  unspecified  allocations  for  providers  treating  uninsured 
COVID-19 patients. HHS also established a $2 billion incentive payment structure for skilled nursing facilities and 
nursing  homes  for  keeping  new  COVID-19  infection  and  mortality  rates  among  residents  lower  than  the 
communities they serve.

ii. Expansion  of  the  Accelerated  and  Advance  Payment  Program  to  advance  three  months  of  payments  to  Medicare 
providers. CMS has the ability to recoup the advanced payments through future Medicare claims. Section 2501 of 
the  Continuing  Appropriations  Act,  2021  and  Other  Extensions  Act,  Public  Law  116-159,  modified  the  terms  of 
repayment  so  that  a  provider  can  request  no  recoupment  for  one  year  after  the  advanced  payment  was  issued, 
followed by a 25% offset the next 11 months, and a 50% offset the last 6 months. Any amounts that remain unpaid 
after 29 months will be subject to a 4% interest rate (instead of 10.25%). 

iii. Temporary suspension of the 2% cut to Medicare payments due to sequestration so that, for the period of May 1, 
2020 to December 31, 2020, the Medicare program will be exempt from any sequestration order. The Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2021, extended this temporary suspension of the 2% sequestration cut through March 31, 2021.

iv. Two  waivers  of  Medicare  statutory  requirements  regarding  site  neutral  payment  to  LTCHs.  The  first  waives  the 
LTCH  discharge  payment  percentage  requirement  (i.e.,  50%  rule)  for  the  cost  reporting  period(s)  that  include  the 
emergency period. The second waives application of the site neutral payment rate so that all LTCH cases admitted 
during the emergency period will be paid the LTCH-PPS standard federal rate.

v. Waiver of the IRF 3-hour rule so that IRF services provided during the public health emergency period do not need 
to meet the coverage requirement that patients receive at least 3 hours of therapy a day or 15 hours of therapy per 
week.

vi. Broader  waiver  authority  for  HHS  under  section  1135  of  the  Social  Security  Act  to  issue  additional  telehealth 

waivers.

The CARES Act also provides for a 20% increase in the payment weight for Medicare payments to hospitals paid under 
the IPPS for treating COVID-19 patients. We are monitoring developments related to this provision, in case CMS provides a 
similar payment add-on for LTCHs and IRFs.

Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services

The following is a summary of significant regulatory changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our critical 
illness recovery hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as LTCHs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as 
the  policies  and  payment  rates  that  may  affect  our  future  results  of  operations.  Medicare  payments  to  our  critical  illness 
recovery hospitals are made in accordance with LTCH-PPS. 

Fiscal Year 2019.  On August 17, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-
PPS  for  fiscal  year  2019  (affecting  discharges  and  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  October  1,  2018  through 
September  30,  2019).  Certain  errors  in  the  final  rule  were  corrected  in  a  document  published  October  3,  2018.  The  standard 
federal rate was set at $41,559, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $41,415. The 
update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment 
of 0.8%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget-
neutrality  factor  of  0.999215  and  a  temporary,  one-time  budget-neutrality  adjustment  of  0.990878  in  connection  with  the 
elimination of the 25 Percent Rule. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,121, 
a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $27,381. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid 
under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $25,743, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $26,537.

Fiscal Year 2020.  On August 16, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-
PPS  for  fiscal  year  2020  (affecting  discharges  and  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  October  1,  2019  through 
September  30,  2020).  Certain  errors  in  the  final  rule  were  corrected  in  a  document  published  October  8,  2019.  The  standard 
federal rate was set at $42,678, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2019 of $41,559. The 
update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment 
of 0.4%. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0020203 and a temporary, one-time 
budget neutrality adjustment of 0.999858 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule. The fixed-loss amount for 
high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $26,778, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2019 fiscal year 
of $27,121. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $26,552, an 
increase  from  the  fixed-loss  amount  in  the  2019  fiscal  year  of  $25,743.  For  LTCH  discharges  occurring  in  cost  reporting 
periods beginning in fiscal year 2020, site neutral payment rate cases will begin to be paid fully on the site neutral payment rate, 
rather than the transitional blended rate. However, the CARES Act waives the site neutral payment rate for patients admitted 
during the COVID-19 emergency period and in response to the public health emergency, as discussed above.

Fiscal  Year  2021.    On  September  18,  2020,  CMS  published  the  final  rule  updating  policies  and  payment  rates  for  the 
LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2021 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2020 through 
September 30, 2021). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a document published December 7, 2020. The standard 
federal rate was set at $43,755, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2020 of $42,678. The 
update  to  the  standard  federal  rate  for  fiscal  year  2021  included  a  market  basket  increase  of  2.3%  with  no  productivity 
adjustment. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget neutrality factor of 1.0016837 and a permanent, one-
time  budget  neutrality  adjustment  of  1.000517  in  connection  with  the  elimination  of  the  25  Percent  Rule.  As  a  result  of  the 
CARES  Act,  all  LTCH  cases  are  paid  at  the  standard  federal  rate  during  the  public  health  emergency.  If  the  public  health 
emergency ends during fiscal year 2021, then CMS will return to using the site-neutral payment rate for reimbursement of cases 
that do not meet the LTCH patient criteria. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at 
$27,195, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2020 fiscal year of $26,778. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier 
cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at $29,064, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2020 fiscal year 
of $26,552.

Medicare Reimbursement of IRF Services

The  following  is  a  summary  of  significant  regulatory  changes  to  the  Medicare  prospective  payment  system  for  our 
rehabilitation hospitals, which are certified by Medicare as IRFs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the 
policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations. Medicare payments to our rehabilitation hospitals are 
made in accordance with IRF-PPS. 

Fiscal Year 2019.   On August 6, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS 
for fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 
30, 2019). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2019 was set at $16,021, an increase from the 
standard  payment  conversion  factor  applicable  during  fiscal  year  2018  of  $15,838.  The  update  to  the  standard  payment 
conversion factor for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and 
less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2019 to $9,402 
from $8,679 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2018.

Fiscal Year 2020.   On August 8, 2019, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS 
for fiscal year 2020 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019 through September 
30, 2020). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2020 was set at $16,489, an increase from the 
standard  payment  conversion  factor  applicable  during  fiscal  year  2019  of  $16,021.  The  update  to  the  standard  payment 
conversion factor for fiscal year 2020 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.4%. CMS 
decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2020 to $9,300 from $9,402 established in the final rule for fiscal year 
2019.

Fiscal Year 2021.   On August 10, 2020, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-
PPS  for  fiscal  year  2021  (affecting  discharges  and  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  October  1,  2020  through 
September  30,  2021).  The  standard  payment  conversion  factor  for  discharges  for  fiscal  year  2021  was  set  at  $16,856,  an 
increase from the standard payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2020 of $16,489. The update to the standard 
payment  conversion  factor  for  fiscal  year  2021  included  a  market  basket  increase  of  2.4%  with  no  productivity  adjustment. 
CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2021 to $7,906 from $9,300 established in the final rule for fiscal 
year 2020.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services

Outpatient rehabilitation providers enroll in Medicare as a rehabilitation agency, a clinic, or a public health agency. The 
Medicare  program  reimburses  outpatient  rehabilitation  providers  based  on  the  Medicare  physician  fee  schedule.  For  services 
provided  in  2017  through  2019,  a  0.5%  update  was  applied  each  year  to  the  fee  schedule  payment  rates,  subject  to  an 
adjustment beginning in 2019 under the MIPS. In 2019, CMS added physical and occupational therapists to the list of MIPS 
eligible clinicians. For these therapists in private practice, payments under the fee schedule are subject to adjustment in a later 
year based on their performance in MIPS according to established performance standards. Calendar year 2021 is the first year 
that payments are adjusted, based upon the therapist’s performance under MIPS in 2019. Providers in facility-based outpatient 
therapy settings are excluded from MIPS eligibility and therefore not subject to this payment adjustment. For services provided 
in 2020 through 2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to adjustments 
under  MIPS  and  the  APMs.  In  2026  and  subsequent  years,  eligible  professionals  participating  in  APMs  who  meet  certain 
criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.

Each  year  from  2019  through  2024  eligible  clinicians  who  receive  a  significant  share  of  their  revenues  through  an 
advanced APM (such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses 
and  a  quality  measurement  component  will  receive  a  5%  bonus.  The  bonus  payment  for  APM  participation  is  intended  to 
encourage participation and testing of new APMs and to promote the alignment of incentives across payors. 

In the 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule final rule, CMS revised coding, documentation guidelines, and increased the  
valuation  for  E/M  office  visit  codes,  beginning  in  2021.  Because  the  Medicare  physician  fee  schedule  is  budget-neutral,  any 
revaluation of E/M services that will increase spending by more than $20 million will require a budget neutrality adjustment. To 
increase  values  for  the  E/M  codes  while  maintaining  budget  neutrality  under  the  fee  schedule,  CMS  cut  the  values  of  other 
codes to make up the difference, beginning in 2021. 

In the 2021 Medicare physician fee schedule final rule, CMS increased the values for the E/M office visit codes and cuts 
to  other  specialty  codes  to  maintain  budget  neutrality.  As  a  result,  therapy  services  provided  in  our  outpatient  rehabilitation 
clinics will receive an estimated 3.6% decrease in payment from Medicare in calendar year 2021. Legislation was introduced in 
Congress that, if enacted, would waive the budget neutrality requirement with respect to the E/M codes for 2021 in order to 
avoid  or  minimize  cuts  to  physical  and  occupational  therapy  services  and  other  code  values.  Separately,  the  Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2021, provides a one-time 3.75% increase in payments in calendar year 2021 for therapy services and other 
services paid under the physician fee schedule.

Modifiers to Identify Services of Physical Therapy Assistants or Occupational Therapy Assistants

In the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS established two new modifiers (CQ and 
CO)  to  identify  services  furnished  in  whole  or  in  part  by  PTAs  or  OTAs.  These  modifiers  were  mandated  by  the  Bipartisan 
Budget Act of 2018, which requires that claims for outpatient therapy services furnished in whole or part by therapy assistants 
on  or  after  January  1,  2020  include  the  appropriate  modifier.  CMS  intends  to  use  these  modifiers  to  implement  a  payment 
differential that would reimburse services provided by PTAs and OTAs at 85% of the fee schedule rate beginning on January 1, 
2022. In the final 2020 Medicare physician fee schedule rule, CMS clarified that when the physical therapist is involved for the 
entire  duration  of  the  service  and  the  PTA  provides  skilled  therapy  alongside  the  physical  therapist,  the  CQ  modifier  is  not 
required. Also, when the same service (code) is furnished separately by the physical therapist and PTA, CMS will apply the de 
minimis standard to each 15-minute unit of codes, not on the total physical therapist and PTA time of the service, allowing the 
separate reporting, on two different claim lines, of the number of units to which the new modifiers apply and the number of 
units to which the modifiers do not apply.

Critical Accounting Matters

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Our  principal  revenue  source  comes  from  providing  healthcare  services  to  patients.  Patient  service  revenues  are 
recognized at an amount equal to the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for providing healthcare services to 
our patients. Revenue earned from these services is variable in nature, as we are required to make judgments that impact the 
transaction price.

We  determine  the  transaction  price  for  services  provided  to  patients  who  are  Medicare  beneficiaries  using  Medicare’s 
prospective payment systems and other payment methods. The expected payment is determined by the level of clinical services 
provided and is sensitive to the patient’s length of stay. Additionally, we are paid by various other non-Medicare payor sources 
including, but not limited to, insurance companies (including Medicare Advantage plans), state Medicaid programs, workers’ 
compensation  programs,  health  maintenance  organizations,  preferred  provider  organizations,  other  managed  care  companies 
and  employers,  as  well  as  patients  themselves.  The  transaction  price  for  services  provided  to  non-Medicare  patients  include 
amounts  prescribed  by  state  and  federal  fee  schedules,  negotiated  contracted  amounts,  or  usual  and  customary  amounts 
associated with the specific payor or based on the service provided. We apply a portfolio approach in determining revenues for 
certain homogeneous non-Medicare patient populations. 

The transaction price for services provided to our patients is also impacted by factors, such as the patient’s condition and 
length  of  stay,  which  in  turn  impact  the  payment  we  expect  to  receive  for  providing  such  services.  Variable  consideration 
included in the transaction price is inclusive of our estimates of implicit discounts and other adjustments related to timely filing 
and documentation denials, out of network adjustments, and medical necessity denials, which are estimated using our historical 
experience.  We  are  also  subject  to  regular  post-payment  inquiries,  investigations,  and  audits  of  the  claims  we  submit  for 
services  provided.  Some  claims  can  take  several  years  for  resolution  and  may  result  in  adjustments  to  the  transaction  price. 
Management  includes  in  its  estimates  of  the  transaction  price  its  expectations  for  these  types  of  adjustments  such  that  the 
amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not be subject to significant reversal in future periods. Historically, adjustments 
arising from a change in the transaction price have not been significant.

Our  accounts  receivable  is  reported  at  an  amount  equal  to  the  amount  we  expect  to  collect  for  providing  healthcare 
services to our patients. Because our accounts receivable is typically paid for by highly-solvent, creditworthy payors, such as 
Medicare, other governmental programs, and highly-regulated commercial insurers on behalf of the patient, our credit losses are 
infrequent and insignificant in nature; as such, we generally do not recognize allowances for expected credit losses.

Insurance Risk Programs

Under a number of our insurance programs, which include our employee health insurance, workers’ compensation, and 
professional malpractice liability insurance programs, we are liable for a portion of our losses before we can attempt to recover 
from  the  applicable  insurance  carrier.  We  accrue  for  losses  under  an  occurrence-based  approach,  whereby  we  estimate  the 
losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period and accrue that estimated liability using actuarial methods. We 
monitor  these  programs  quarterly  and  revise  our  estimates  as  necessary  to  take  into  account  additional  information.  We 
recorded  a  liability  of  $157.1  million  and  $173.6  million  for  our  estimated  losses  under  these  insurance  programs  at 
December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. We also recorded insurance proceeds receivable of $15.5 million and $13.0 million 
at December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, for liabilities which exceed our deductibles and self-insured retention limits and 
are recoverable through our insurance policies. 

Intangible Assets

Goodwill  and  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  not  amortized,  but  instead  are  subject  to  periodic  impairment 
evaluations.  Impairment  tests  are  required  to  be  conducted  at  least  annually  or  when  events  or  conditions  occur  that  might 
suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the 
business environment, regulatory environment, or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a 
history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. 
The  occurrence  of  one  of  these  events  or  conditions  could  significantly  impact  an  impairment  assessment,  necessitating  an 
impairment charge. 

64

Table of Contents

We    performed  our  annual  goodwill  impairment  assessment  for  each  of  our  reporting  units  as  of  October  1,  2020.  Our 
assessment was qualitative in nature and considered whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is 
less than its carrying amount. We considered relevant events or circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which could 
affect the fair value of a reporting unit, including (i) industry and market conditions, (ii) financial performance, such as negative 
or  declining  cash  flows,  or  a  decline  in  revenue  or  earnings  compared  with  actual  and  forecasted  results,  (iii)  the  regulatory 
environment affecting each of our reporting units, including reimbursement and compliance requirements under the Medicare 
program,  and  (iv)  other  factors  specific  to  each  reporting  unit,  such  as  a  change  in  strategy,  management,  or  acquisitions  or 
divestitures affecting the composition of the reporting unit. Our assessment did not indicate goodwill impairment for any of our 
reporting units as of October 1, 2020.

At  December  31,  2020,  our  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  consist  of  trademarks,  certificates  of  need,  and 
accreditations. To determine the fair value of our trademarks, we use a relief from royalty income approach.  For our certificates 
of need and accreditations, we perform qualitative assessments. As part of these assessments, we evaluate the current business 
environment, regulatory environment, legal and other company-specific factors. If it is more likely than not that the fair values 
are  less  than  the  carrying  values,  we  perform  quantitative  impairment  tests.  Our  most  recent  impairment  assessments  for 
indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  were  completed  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020.  We  did  not  identify  any  instances  of 
impairment with respect to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

We have recorded total goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets of $3.8 billion at December 31, 2020, of which 
$1.1 billion related to our critical illness recovery hospital reporting unit, $458.4 million related to our rehabilitation hospital 
reporting  unit,  $701.2  million  related  to  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  reporting  unit,  and  $1.5  billion  relates  to  the  Concentra 
reporting unit.

Realization of Deferred Tax Assets

We  recognize  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  for  the  expected  future  tax  consequences  of  events  that  have  been 
recognized in our financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between 
the  book  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  by  using  enacted  tax  rates  in  effect  for  the  year  in  which  the  differences  are 
expected to reverse.  We also recognize the future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards as deferred tax assets. The 
effect  of  a  change  in  tax  rates  on  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  is  recognized  in  income  in  the  period  that  includes  the 
enactment date. 

We evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and reduce those assets using a valuation allowance if it is more likely 
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Among the factors used to assess the likelihood of 
realization  are  projections  of  future  taxable  income  streams,  the  expected  timing  of  the  reversals  of  existing  temporary 
differences,  and  the  impact  of  tax  planning  strategies  that  could  be  implemented  to  avoid  the  potential  loss  of  future  tax 
benefits.  However,  changes  in  tax  codes,  statutory  tax  rates  or  future  taxable  income  levels  could  materially  impact  our 
valuation of tax accruals and assets and could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period.

At December 31, 2020, we had deferred tax liabilities in excess of deferred tax assets of approximately $111.7 million 
principally  due  to  depreciation  deductions  that  have  been  accelerated  for  tax  purposes  and  amortization  of  intangibles  and 
goodwill.  This  amount  includes  approximately  $17.3  million  of  valuation  reserves  related  primarily  to  state  net  operating 
losses.

Operating Statistics

The following table sets forth operating statistics for each of our segments for the periods presented. The operating statistics 
reflect  data  for  the  period  of  time  we  managed  these  operations.  Our  operating  statistics  include  metrics  we  believe  provide

Represents the number of patients admitted to our hospitals during the periods presented. 

Each patient day represents one patient occupying one bed for one day during the periods presented. 

Represents  the  average  number  of  days  in  which  patients  were  admitted  to  our  hospitals.  Average  length  of  stay  is 
calculated by dividing the number of patient days, as presented above, by the number of patients discharged from our 
hospitals during the periods presented. 

Represents  the  average  amount  of  revenue  recognized  for  each  patient  day.  Revenue  per  patient  day  is  calculated  by 
dividing patient service revenues, excluding revenues from certain other ancillary and outpatient services provided at our 
hospitals, by the total number of patient days.

Represents  the  portion  of  our  hospitals  being  utilized  for  patient  care  during  the  periods  presented.  Occupancy  rate  is 
calculated using the number of patient days, as presented above, divided by the total number of bed days available during 
the period. Bed days available is derived by adding the daily number of available licensed beds for each of the periods 
presented. 

Represents  the  portion  of  our  patient  days  which  are  paid  by  Medicare.  The  Medicare  patient  day  percentage  is 
calculated by dividing the total number of patient days which are paid by Medicare by the total number of patient days, 
as presented above. 

Represents  the  number  of  visits  in  which  patients  were  treated  at  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  and  Concentra 
centers during the periods presented. 

Represents the average amount of revenue recognized for each patient visit. Revenue per visit is calculated by dividing 
patient  service  revenue,  excluding  revenues  from  certain  other  ancillary  services,  by  the  total  number  of  visits.  For 
purposes  of  this  computation  for  our  Concentra  segment,  patient  service  revenue  does  not  include  onsite  clinics  and

Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019

In  the  following,  we  discuss  our  results  of  operations  related  to  revenue,  operating  expenses,  other  operating  income, 
Adjusted EBITDA, depreciation and amortization, income from operations, loss on early retirement of debt, equity in earnings 
of unconsolidated subsidiaries, gain on sale of businesses, interest expense, income taxes, and net income attributable to non-

Please refer to “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations” above for further discussion.

Revenue

Our revenue increased 1.4% to $5,531.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $5,453.9 million for 

the year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical  Illness  Recovery  Hospital  Segment.      Revenue  increased  13.1%  to  $2,077.5  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020, compared to $1,836.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenue was due to 
increases in both patient volume and revenue per patient day during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year 
ended  December  31,  2019.  Our  patient  days  increased  7.1%  to  1,111,756  days  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020, 
compared  to  1,038,361  days  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  We  experienced  a  4.8%  increase  in  patient  days  in  our 
existing  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals.  The  remaining  increase  principally  occurred  in  the  four  critical  illness  recovery 
hospitals we acquired in 2019. The relaxation of certain admission restrictions during the year ended December 31, 2020 also 
contributed  to  the  increase  in  volume.  These  measures  were  implemented  to  increase  hospital  capacity  in  response  to  the 
COVID-19  pandemic.  Occupancy  in  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  increased  to  71%  during  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2020,  compared  to  68%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  Revenue  per  patient  day  increased  6.0%  to 
$1,858  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  compared  to  $1,753  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  We  experienced 
increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare revenue per patient day. Our critical illness recovery hospitals experienced an 
increase in patient acuity during the year ended December 31, 2020, which contributed to the increase in Medicare revenue per 
patient day. We also experienced an increase in revenue per patient day as a result of the temporary suspension of the 2.0% cut 
to Medicare payments due to sequestration, which is described further under “Regulatory Changes.”

Rehabilitation  Hospital  Segment.      Revenue  increased  9.5%  to  $734.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020, 
compared  to  $671.0  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  The  increase  in  revenue  resulted  from  increases  in  both 
patient volume and revenue per patient day during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 
31, 2019. Our patient days increased 5.0% to 370,833 days for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 353,031 days 
for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in patient days was principally driven by our rehabilitation hospitals which 
commenced  operations  during  2019.  We  also  experienced  a  2.0%  increase  in  patient  days  in  our  existing  rehabilitation 
hospitals. This increase occurred despite declines in volume experienced within our rehabilitation hospitals in New Jersey and 
South  Florida  which  temporarily  restricted  admissions  as  a  result  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  Certain  of  our  rehabilitation 
hospitals  also  experienced  lower  patient  volume  due  to  the  suspension  of  elective  surgeries  at  hospitals  and  other  facilities, 
which  consequently  reduced  the  demand  for  inpatient  rehabilitation  services,  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020 
compared  to  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  These  declines  in  volume  principally  occurred  in  April  and  May  2020. 
Occupancy in our rehabilitation hospitals increased to 78% during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 76% for the 
year ended December 31, 2019. Our revenue per patient day increased 6.4% to $1,793 for the year ended December 31, 2020, 
compared to $1,685 for the year ended December 31, 2019. We experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare 
revenue  per  patient  day.  The  temporary  suspension  of  the  2.0%  cut  to  Medicare  payments  due  to  sequestration,  which  is 
described further under “Regulatory Changes,” contributed to the increase in revenue per patient day.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment.   Revenue was $919.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 
$1,046.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was attributable to a decline in visits, which 
were 7,593,344 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 8,719,282 visits for the year ended December 31, 2019, a 
decrease  of  12.9%.  During  the  months  of  March  through  December  2020,  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  experienced  a 
17.3% decrease in visits, as compared to the same period in 2019, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The declines 
in volume principally occurred in April and May 2020 and were the result of a decline in patient referrals from physicians, a 
reduction in workers’ compensation injury visits resulting from the temporary closure of businesses, the suspension of elective 
surgeries  which  would  have  required  outpatient  rehabilitation  services,  as  well  as  recommendations  to  practice  social 
distancing.  Patient  volume  in  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  has  improved  since  April  and  May  2020  as  restrictions 
imposed on individuals and businesses ease. Refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations” for 
a  table  which  outlines  the  monthly  trend  in  our  patient  visits  for  both  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020  and  2019.  Our 
revenue per visit was $104 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $103 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Concentra Segment.   Revenue was $1,501.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,628.8 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was attributable to a decline in visits, which were 10,627,904 
for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  compared  to  12,068,865  visits  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  a  decrease  of 
11.9%. During the months of March through December 2020, our centers experienced  a 15.1% decrease in visits, as compared 
to the same period in 2019, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The declines in volume principally occurred in April 
and  May  2020  and  were  primarily  due  to  employers  furloughing  their  workforce  and  temporarily  ceasing  or  significantly 
reducing  their  operations.  Patient  volume  in  our  centers  has  improved  since  April  and  May  2020  as  restrictions  imposed  on 
businesses ease. Refer to the“Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Results of Operations” for a table which outlines the 
monthly trend in our patient visits for both the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The sale of Concentra’s Department 
of  Veterans  Affairs  community-based  outpatient  clinic  business  on  September  1,  2020  also  contributed  to  the  decline  in 
revenue. This business contributed $28.5 million of revenue to the Concentra segment during the months of September through 
December 2019. The declines in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2020 were offset, in part, by the revenue earned 
from providing COVID-19 screening and testing at our centers and various onsite clinics located at employer worksites. These 
services contributed $62.0 million of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2020. Revenue per visit was $123 for the 
year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $122 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Operating Expenses

Our  operating  expenses  consist  principally  of  cost  of  services  and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  Our  operating 
expenses were $4,848.4 million, or 87.7% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $4,769.5 million, or 
87.5% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, 
was $4,710.4 million, or 85.2% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $4,641.0 million, or 85.1% of 
revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in our operating expenses relative to our revenue was principally 
due  to  the  reduced  patient  volume  in  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  and  Concentra  segments,  as  discussed  above.  General  and 
administrative expenses were $138.0 million, or 2.5% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $128.5 
million, or 2.4% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2019. 

Other Operating Income

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had other operating income of $90.0 million. We recognize payments received 
under the Provider Relief Fund as other operating income for health care related expenses and loss of revenue attributable to the 
COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to Note 22 – CARES Act of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein for 
further  information.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  $88.9  million  of  other  operating  income  is  included  within  the 
operating results of our other activities, and $1.1 million of other operating income is included in the operating results of our 
Concentra segment. 

Adjusted EBITDA

Critical  Illness  Recovery  Hospital  Segment.      Adjusted  EBITDA  increased  34.4%  to  $342.4  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020, compared to $254.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the 
critical illness recovery hospital segment was 16.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 13.9% for the year 
ended December 31, 2019. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our critical illness recovery 
hospital  segment  were  driven  by  increases  in  both  patient  volume  and  revenue  per  patient  day,  as  discussed  above  under 
“Revenue.”  The  increases  in  Adjusted  EBITDA  and  Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  occurred  despite  the  incurrence  of  additional 
operating expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our critical illness recovery hospitals have modified certain of their 
protocols in order to follow the guidelines and recommendations for patient treatment and for the protection of both our patients 
and staff members. This has resulted in increased labor costs, including increased contracted labor usage, as well as additional 
costs resulting from the purchase of personal protective equipment.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment.   Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.8% to $153.2 million for the year ended December 31, 
2020, compared to $135.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the rehabilitation 
hospital segment was 20.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 20.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019.  
These  increases  were  primarily  attributable  to  our  hospitals  which  commenced  operations  in  2019.  We  also  experienced 
increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin at many of our existing hospitals as a result of increased patient 
volume  and  increases  in  revenue  per  patient  day.  The  increases  in  Adjusted  EBITDA  and  Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  in  our 
rehabilitation  hospital  segment  occurred  despite  our  hospitals  in  New  Jersey  and  South  Florida  experiencing  declines  in 
Adjusted  EBITDA  and  Adjusted  EBITDA  margin.  These  hospitals  temporarily  restricted  admissions  as  a  result  of  the 
COVID-19  pandemic  during  the  second  quarter  of  2020.  Our  Adjusted  EBITDA  and  Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  were  also 
adversely  impacted  by  the  incurrence  of  additional  operating  expenses  as  a  result  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  Our 
rehabilitation  hospitals  have  modified  certain  of  their  protocols  in  order  to  follow  the  guidelines  and  recommendations  for 
patient treatment and for the protection of both our patients and staff members. This has resulted in increased labor costs as well 
as additional costs resulting from the purchase of personal protective equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the 
Adjusted EBITDA results of the rehabilitation hospital segment include start-up losses of approximately $8.8 million.

Outpatient  Rehabilitation  Segment.      Adjusted  EBITDA  was  $79.2  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020, 
compared  to  $151.8  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  Our  Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  for  the  outpatient 
rehabilitation segment was 8.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 
2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were caused by a decline in visits, beginning in mid-
March 2020, as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as described above. During the months of March through 
December 2020, our outpatient rehabilitation clinics experienced a 17.3% decrease in visits, as compared to the same period in 
2019. In response to the decline in patient volume and in an effort to reduce operating expenses, we temporarily consolidated, 
where possible, the operations of clinics which operate within close proximity to one another and took other measures to reduce 
labor costs.

Concentra Segment.   Adjusted EBITDA was $252.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $276.5 
million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Concentra segment was 16.8% for the 
year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 17.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA 
and Adjusted EBITDA margin were caused by a decline in visits, beginning in mid-March 2020, as a result of the effects of the 
COVID-19  pandemic,  as  described  above.  During  the  months  of  March  through  December  2020,  our  centers  experienced  a 
15.1% decrease in visits, as compared to the same period in 2019. In response to the decline in patient volume and in an effort 
to reduce operating expenses, we temporarily consolidated, where possible, the operations of centers which operate within close 
proximity  to  one  another,  reduced  the  operating  hours  of  certain  centers,  and  took  other  measures  to  reduce  labor  and  other 
discretionary  costs.  Many  of  these  initiatives  have  been  and  will  continue  to  be  curtailed  as  we  see  improvement  in  patient 
volumes.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $205.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $212.6 
million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  The  decrease  in  depreciation  and  amortization  expense  occurred  in  our 
Concentra segment. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to certain assets acquired as part of 
the acquisitions of U.S. HealthWorks, Inc. and Concentra Inc. becoming fully depreciated.

Income from Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had income from operations of $567.7 million, compared to $471.9 million for 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  The  increase  in  income  from  operations  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  recognition  of 
$90.0 million of other operating income, as discussed above. We also experienced increases in income from operations within 
our critical illness recovery hospital and rehabilitation hospital segments, which were offset in part by declines in income from 
operations experienced within our outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments. 

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we amended both the Select credit agreement and the Concentra-JPM first lien 
credit  agreement.  We  also  repaid  the  term  loans  outstanding  under  both  the  Concentra-JPM  first  and  second  lien  credit 
agreements  and  redeemed  our  6.375%  senior  notes.  These  financing  events  resulted  in  losses  on  early  retirement  of  debt  of 
$38.1 million.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Our  equity  in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  relates  to  rehabilitation  businesses  and  other  healthcare-related 
businesses  in  which  we  are  a  minority  owner.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  we  had  equity  in  earnings  of 
unconsolidated subsidiaries of $29.4 million, compared to $25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year 
ended December 31, 2020, certain of our non-consolidating subsidiaries received Provider Relief Funds for health care related 
expenses and loss of revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced an increase in our equity in earnings for 
our share of the income recognized from these funds. 

Gain on Sale of Businesses

We recognized gains of $12.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 
2020, we sold an outpatient rehabilitation business, a rehabilitation hospital business, and Concentra’s Department of Veterans 
Affairs  community-based  outpatient  clinic  business.  These  sales  resulted  in  gains  of  approximately  $21.4  million.  We  also 
incurred a loss of $9.0 million related to the indemnity provision associated with a previously sold business.

We recognized a gain of $6.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The gain was attributable to the sale of 

outpatient rehabilitation clinics to a non-consolidating subsidiary.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  was  $153.0  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  compared  to  $200.6  million  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to a decline in variable interest rates, as well as 
the refinancing of our Select credit facilities, Concentra-JPM first and second lien credit agreements, and senior notes during 
the third and fourth quarters of 2019.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $111.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which represented an effective 
tax rate of 24.5%. We recorded income tax expense of $63.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which represented 
an effective tax rate of 24.1%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the increase in the effective tax rate resulted primarily 
from  a  higher  estimate  of  state  and  local  income  taxes.  Refer  to  Note  19  –  Income  Taxes  of  the  notes  to  our  consolidated 
financial statements included herein for the reconciliations of the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective income rate 
for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $85.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 
$52.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition to general improvements made in the operating performance 
of  the  Company’s  less  than  wholly  owned  critical  illness  recovery  and  rehabilitation  hospitals,  particularly  in  our  hospitals 
which  commenced  operations  during  2019,  net  income  attributable  to  non-controlling  interests  increased  as  a  result  of  the 
operating  income  recognized  for  payments  received  under  the  Provider  Relief  Fund.  Additionally,  the  net  income  of  our 
Concentra  segment  increased  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  which  was  principally  due  to  a  decline  in  interest 
expense. The Concentra segment also recognized a loss on early retirement of debt during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018

In  the  following,  we  discuss  our  results  of  operations  related  to  revenue,  operating  expenses,  Adjusted  EBITDA, 
depreciation and amortization, income from operations, loss on early retirement of debt, equity in earnings of unconsolidated 
subsidiaries, gain on sale of businesses, interest expense, income taxes, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests.

Revenue

Our revenue increased 7.3% to $5,453.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $5,081.3 million for 

the year ended December 31, 2018.

Critical  Illness  Recovery  Hospital  Segment.        Revenue  increased  4.7%  to  $1,836.5  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019, compared to $1,753.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was due to 
increases in both patient volume and revenue per patient day. Our patient days increased 2.6% to 1,038,361 days for the year 
ended  December  31,  2019,  compared  to  1,012,368  days  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  The  acquisition  of  four 
hospitals during 2019 contributed to the increase in patient days. We also experienced an increase in patient days in our existing 
hospitals,  which  was  offset  by  a  decrease  in  patient  days  from  hospital  closures  which  occurred  during  2018,  including  the 
temporary closure of our hospital located in Panama City, Florida as a result of damage sustained from Hurricane Michael in 
October 2018. Revenue per patient day increased 2.2% to $1,753 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1,716 
for the year ended December 31, 2018. We experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare revenue per patient 
day.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment.    Revenue increased 14.9% to $671.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, 
compared  to  $583.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  The  increase  in  revenue  resulted  from  increases  in  both 
patient  volume  and  revenue  per  patient  day  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  Our  patient  days  increased  11.9%  to 
353,031 days for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 315,468 days for the year ended December 31, 2018. The 
increase in patient days was principally driven by our rehabilitation hospitals which recently commenced operations. We also 
experienced a 3.7% increase in patient days in our existing hospitals. Our revenue per patient day increased 4.9% to $1,685 for 
the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1,606 for the year ended December 31, 2018. We experienced increases in 
both our Medicare and non-Medicare revenue per patient day.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Revenue increased 5.0% to $1,046.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, 
compared to $995.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in 
visits,  which  increased  4.3%  to  8,719,282  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  compared  to  8,356,018  visits  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2018. The increase in visits was due to new outpatient rehabilitation clinics and a 5.1% increase in visits 
within our existing clinics. This growth was offset in part by the sale of outpatient rehabilitation clinics to non-consolidating 
subsidiaries.  These  clinics  contributed  218,381  visits  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  During  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2019,  we  also  experienced  an  increase  in  management  fee  revenues  related  to  services  provided  to  our  non-
consolidating  subsidiaries.  These  services  have  expanded  as  a  result  of  our  sales  of  clinics  to  these  non-consolidating 
subsidiaries. Our revenue per visit was $103 for both the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Concentra Segment.    Revenue increased 4.6% to $1,628.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 
$1,557.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Visits in our centers increased 5.6% to 12,068,865 for the year ended 
December 31, 2019, compared to 11,426,940 visits for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increases in revenue and visits 
were principally due to U.S. HealthWorks, which we acquired on February 1, 2018, and other new centers. Revenue per visit 
was $122 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $124 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in 
revenue per visit was principally due to a relative increase in employer services visits, which yield lower per visit rates.

Operating Expenses

Our  operating  expenses  consist  principally  of  cost  of  services  and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  Our  operating 
expenses were $4,769.5 million, or 87.5% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $4,462.3 million, or 
87.8% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, 
was $4,641.0 million, or 85.1% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $4,341.1 million, or 85.4% of 
revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in our operating expenses relative to our revenue was principally 
due to the operating performance of our Concentra and rehabilitation hospital segments. General and administrative expenses 
were  $128.5  million,  or  2.4%  of  revenue,  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  compared  to  $121.3  million,  or  2.4%  of 
revenue,  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  General  and  administrative  expenses  included  $2.9  million  of  U.S. 
HealthWorks acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA

Critical  Illness  Recovery  Hospital  Segment.        Adjusted  EBITDA  increased  4.9%  to  $254.9  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019, compared to $243.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the 
critical illness recovery hospital segment was 13.9% for both the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The increase in 
Adjusted EBITDA for our critical illness recovery hospital segment was primarily driven by increases in patient volumes and  
revenue  per  patient  day,  as  discussed  above  under  “Revenue.”  Our  Adjusted  EBITDA  margins  were  impacted  by  our  newly 
acquired hospitals, which operated at lower margins than our other critical illness recovery hospitals.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 24.7% to $135.9 million for the year ended December 
31,  2019,  compared  to  $108.9  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  Our  Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  for  the 
rehabilitation  hospital  segment  was  20.2%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  compared  to  18.7%  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are primarily attributable to increases 
in  patient  volume  and  revenue  per  patient  day  at  many  of  our  existing  hospitals.  Adjusted  EBITDA  losses  in  our  start-up 
hospitals were $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 
2018. 

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.9% to $151.8 million for the year ended December 
31, 2019, compared to $142.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient 
rehabilitation segment was 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 14.3% for the year ended December 31, 
2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA resulted principally from increases in patient 
visits in our existing clinics, as discussed above under “Revenue.” We also experienced increases in Adjusted EBITDA from 
our start-up and newly developed outpatient rehabilitation clinics.  

Concentra  Segment.        Adjusted  EBITDA  increased  9.7%  to  $276.5  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019, 
compared to $252.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which included the operating results of U.S. HealthWorks 
beginning  February  1,  2018.  Our  Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  for  the  Concentra  segment  was  17.0%  for  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2019,  compared  to  16.2%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  The  increases  in  Adjusted  EBITDA  and 
Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  resulted  from  achieving  lower  relative  operating  costs  across  our  combined  Concentra  and  U.S. 
HealthWorks businesses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $212.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $201.7 
million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase principally occurred within our critical illness recovery hospital 
and rehabilitation hospital segments. The increase resulted in part from new hospitals operating within both of these segments. 
Additionally, effective July 1, 2019, the state of Florida repealed its certificate of need regulations; accordingly, the certificate 
of need intangible assets previously recognized by our Florida critical illness recovery hospitals were fully amortized during the 
year ended December 31, 2019.

Income from Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had income from operations of $471.9 million, compared to $417.3 million for 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  The  increase  in  income  from  operations  resulted  principally  from  our  Concentra  and 
rehabilitation hospital segments.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we amended both the Select credit agreement and the Concentra-JPM first lien 
credit  agreement.  We  also  repaid  the  term  loans  outstanding  under  both  the  Concentra-JPM  first  and  second  lien  credit 
agreements  and  redeemed  our  6.375%  senior  notes.  These  financing  events  resulted  in  losses  on  early  retirement  of  debt  of 
$38.1 million. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we amended both the Select credit agreement and the Concentra-JPM first lien 

credit agreement which resulted in losses on early retirement of debt of $14.2 million. 

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Our  equity  in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  principally  relates  to  rehabilitation  businesses  in  which  we  are  a 
minority  owner.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  we  had  equity  in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  of  $25.0 
million, compared to $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in equity in earnings was principally 
attributable to the growth of certain non-consolidating subsidiaries as a result of our sales of outpatient rehabilitation clinics to 
these subsidiaries.

Gain on Sale of Businesses

We recognized gains of $6.5 million and $9.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

The gains were principally attributable to the sales of outpatient rehabilitation clinics to non-consolidating subsidiaries.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  was  $200.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  compared  to  $198.5  million  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2018. The increase in interest expense was principally due to the recognition of interest expense on both 
the  6.250%  senior  notes  and  the  6.375%  senior  notes  during  August  2019,  as  the  redemption  of  the  $710.0  million  6.375% 
senior notes occurred on August 30, 2019, while the issuance of the $550.0 million 6.250% senior notes occurred on August 1, 
2019.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $63.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which represented an effective 
tax rate of 24.1%. We recorded income tax expense of $58.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which represented 
an effective tax rate of 24.9%. 

The reduction in our effective tax rate resulted from an increase in our income before income taxes generated from our 
consolidated subsidiaries taxed as partnerships. For these subsidiaries, we only incur income tax expense on our share of the 
earnings. The effect of the income allocated to non-controlling interests on the effective tax rate was 2.9% for the year ended 
December 31, 2019, compared to 2.1% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Refer to Note 19 – Income Taxes of the notes to 
our  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  for  the  reconciliations  of  the  statutory  federal  income  tax  rate  to  our 
effective income rate for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $52.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 
$39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was principally due to the improved operating performance 
of several of our joint venture rehabilitation hospitals and our Concentra segment.

primarily attributable to $318.1 million of advanced payments received under the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program, 
as well as $172.6 million of payments received under the Provider Relief Fund. Refer to Note 22 – CARES Act of the notes to 
our consolidated financial statements included herein for further information.

Our  days  sales  outstanding  was  56  days  at  December  31,  2020,  while  our  days  sales  outstanding  was  51  days  at  both 
December  31,  2019  and  2018.  Our  days  sales  outstanding  will  fluctuate  based  upon  variability  in  our  collection  cycles  and 
patient volumes. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our days sales outstanding was primarily impacted by an increase in 
our Medicare receivables at our hospitals. 

Operating activities provided $445.2 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $494.2 
million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018. The lower operating cash flows were principally driven by the 
change  in  our  accounts  receivable.  Our  days  sales  outstanding  was  51  days  at  both  December  31,  2019  and  2018,  while  our 
days  sales  outstanding  was  58  days  at  December  31,  2017.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  we  experienced  an 
increase in operating cash flows related to accounts receivable, primarily as a result of underpayments we received through the 
Medicare periodic interim payment program in our critical illness recovery hospitals during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Investing  activities  used  $115.4  million,  $316.7  million  and  $697.1  million  of  cash  flows  for  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2020,  2019  and  2018,  respectively.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  principal  uses  of  cash  were 
$146.4 million for purchases of property and equipment and $52.2 million for investments in and acquisitions of businesses. 
We also received proceeds from the sale of assets and businesses of $83.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the 
principal uses of cash were $157.1 million for purchases of property and equipment and $159.8 million for investments in and 
acquisitions of businesses. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the principal uses of cash were $515.6 million related to the 
acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks and $167.3 million for purchases of property and equipment. 

Financing activities used $671.5 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020. The principal use of cash 
was $576.4 million for the purchase of additional membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent during the year 
ended December 31, 2020, as discussed above under “Other Significant Events.” We also used $39.8 million of cash for the 
mandatory prepayment of term loans under the Select credit facilities.

Financing activities provided $32.3 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019. The principal sources of 
cash  were  from  the  issuance  of  $1,225.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  6.250%  senior  notes,  $1,115.0  million  of 
incremental  term  loan  borrowings  under  the  Select  credit  facilities,  and  $100.0  million  of  incremental  term  loan  borrowings 
under the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement. These borrowings provided net financing cash inflows of $2,453.1 million. 
A portion of the net proceeds of the 6.250% senior notes, together with a portion of the proceeds from the incremental term loan 
borrowings under the Select credit facilities, were used by Select to redeem in full its $710.0 million 6.375% senior notes and to 
make  a  term  loan  in  an  aggregate  principal  amount  of  approximately  $1,240.3  million  to  Concentra  Inc.,  pursuant  to  the 
Concentra  intercompany  loan  agreement.  Concentra  Inc.  then  repaid  its  $1,240.3  million  term  loan  outstanding  under  the 
Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement. The proceeds from the incremental term loans under the Concentra-JPM first lien 
credit agreement were used, in part, to repay the $240.0 million of term loans outstanding under the Concentra-JPM second lien 
credit agreement. We also used $98.8 million and $33.9 million of cash for mandatory prepayments of term loans under the 
Select  credit  facilities  and  Concentra-JPM  first  and  second  lien  credit  agreements,  respectively.  During  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019, we had net repayments of $20.0 million under the Select and Concentra-JPM revolving facilities.

Financing activities provided $255.6 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018. The principal source of 
cash was from the issuance of term loans under the Concentra-JPM first and second lien credit agreements which resulted in net 
proceeds  of  $779.8  million.  This  was  offset  in  part  by  $311.5  million  of  distributions  to  and  purchases  of  non-controlling 
interests,  of  which  $294.9  million  related  to  the  redemption  and  reorganization  transactions  executed  in  connection  with  the 
acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks, and $210.0 million of net repayments under the Select revolving facility.

Capital Resources

Working capital.    We had net working capital of $155.6 million at December 31, 2020, compared to net working capital 
of $298.7 million at December 31, 2019. Our net working capital as of December 31, 2020 was impacted by the purchases of 
additional membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, including the most recent purchase which occurred on 
December 31, 2020, as discussed above under “Other Significant Events.”

A significant component of our working capital is our accounts receivable. Collection of these accounts receivable is our 
primary  source  of  cash  and  is  critical  to  our  liquidity  and  capital  resources.  Most  of  our  patients  are  subject  to  healthcare 
coverage through third party payor arrangements, including Medicare and Medicaid. It is our general policy to verify healthcare 
coverage prior to providing services. We have credit risk associated with our accounts receivable; however, we believe there is 
a remote possibility of default with these payors.

Select credit facilities.   

In February 2020, Select made a principal prepayment of approximately $39.8 million associated with its term loans in 
accordance  with  the  provision  in  the  Select  credit  facilities  that  requires  mandatory  prepayments  of  term  loans  as  a  result  of 
annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Select credit facilities.

At  December  31,  2020,  Select  had  outstanding  borrowings  under  the  Select  credit  facilities  consisting  of  a  $2,103.4 
million Select term loan (excluding unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs of $17.5 million). Select did 
not have any borrowings outstanding under the Select revolving facility. At December 31, 2020, Select had $410.7 million of 
availability under the Select revolving facility after giving effect to $39.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. On the last day 
of each calendar quarter, Select is required to pay each lender a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments under 
the Select revolving facility, which is currently 0.375% per annum and subject to adjustment based on Select’s leverage ratio, as 
specified in the Select credit agreement.

 As of December 31, 2020, Select’s leverage ratio (its ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior 
four  consecutive  fiscal  quarters),  which  is  required  to  be  maintained  at  less  than  7.00  to  1.00  under  the  terms  of  the  Select 
revolving facility, was 3.48 to 1.00.

The Select credit facilities also contain a number of other affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on 
mergers,  consolidations  and  dissolutions;  sales  of  assets;  investments  and  acquisitions;  indebtedness;  liens;  affiliate 
transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Select credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of 
principal and interest when due (subject, as to interest, to a grace period), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an 
event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.

Select 6.250% senior notes.

At  December  31,  2020,  Select  had  $1,225.0  million  of  6.250%  senior  notes  outstanding  (excluding  the  unamortized 

premium and debt issuance costs of $16.8 million).

The terms of the senior notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit Select’s ability and the ability of certain 
of  Select’s  subsidiaries  to    (i)  grant  liens  on  its  assets,  (ii)  make  dividend  payments,  other  distributions  or  other  restricted 
payments, (iii) incur restrictions on the ability of Select’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (iv) 
enter  into  sale  and  leaseback  transactions,  (v)  merge,  consolidate,  transfer  or  dispose  of  substantially  all  of  their  assets,  (vi) 
incur  additional  indebtedness,  (vii)  make  investments,  (viii)  sell  assets,  including  capital  stock  of  subsidiaries,  (ix)  use  the 
proceeds from sales of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, and (x) enter into transactions with affiliates. 
These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications.

Concentra credit facilities. 

At  December  31,  2020,  Concentra  Inc.  did  not  have  any  borrowings  outstanding  under  the  Concentra-JPM  revolving 
facility.  At  December  31,  2020,  Concentra  Inc.  had  $83.6  million  of  availability  under  the  Concentra-JPM  revolving  facility 
after giving effect to $16.4 million of outstanding letters of credit. Concentra Inc. is required to pay each lender a commitment 
fee in respect of any unused commitments under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility, which is currently 0.50% per annum and 
subject to adjustment based on the first lien net leverage ratio, as specified in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement. 
Select and Holdings are not obligors with respect to Concentra Inc.’s debt under the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement. 
At  December  31,  2020,  Concentra  Inc.  had  outstanding  borrowings  under  the  Concentra  intercompany  loan  agreement  with 
Select of $1,133.1 million. 

The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement contains a number of obligations concerning Concentra Inc. In particular, 
such  obligations  require  Concentra  Inc.  to  maintain  a  leverage  ratio  of  5.75  to  1.00  which  is  tested  quarterly,  but  only  if 
Revolving Exposure (as defined in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement) exceeds 30% of Revolving Commitments (as 
defined in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement) on such day. Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an 
event  of  default  under  the  Concentra-JPM  first  lien  credit  agreement  only  and,  absent  a  waiver  or  an  amendment  from  the 
revolving  lenders,  preclude  Concentra  Inc.  from  making  further  borrowings  under  the  Concentra-JPM  revolving  facility  and 
permit the revolving lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility. Upon such 
acceleration, Concentra Inc.’s failure to comply with the financial covenant would result in an event of default with respect to 
the Concentra intercompany loan agreement.

The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including 
limitations  on  mergers,  consolidations  and  dissolutions;  sales  of  assets;  investments  and  acquisitions;  indebtedness;  liens; 
affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement contains events of 
default  for  non-payment  of  principal  and  interest  when  due  (subject  to  a  grace  period  for  interest),  cross-default  and  cross 
acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control. 

The  Concentra  intercompany  loan  agreement  contains  substantially  similar  obligations,  and  affirmative  and  negative 

covenants.

Liquidity.        The  COVID-19  pandemic  adversely  affected  certain  segments  of  our  operations  during  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2020.  The  duration  and  extent  of  the  impact  from  the  COVID-19  pandemic  on  our  operations  and  liquidity 
depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time; however, we believe our internally generated 
cash flows, borrowing capacity under the Select and Concentra-JPM revolving facilities, and other measures taken to enhance 
our liquidity position have allowed and will continue to allow us to finance our operations in both the short and long term. As of 
December  31,  2020,  we  had  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  $577.1  million,  availability  of  $410.7  million  under  the  Select 
revolving facility after giving effect to $39.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, and availability of $83.6 million under the 
Concentra-JPM revolving facility after giving effect to $16.4 million of outstanding letters of credit.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act, which is explained further within “Regulatory Changes,” was enacted. The CARES 
Act provided additional waivers, reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 
pandemic,  including  $100.0  billion  in  appropriations  for  the  Provider  Relief  Fund,  to  be  used  for  preventing,  preparing,  and 
responding to COVID-19, and for reimbursing “eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues 
that are attributable to coronavirus.” We received approximately $172.6 million of payments under the Provider Relief Fund 
during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020.  We  evaluated  our  compliance  with  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  funds  and 
recognized $90.0 million as other operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020. The remaining Provider Relief Fund 
payments of approximately $82.6 million at December 31, 2020 may need to be repaid to the government to the extent they 
cannot  be  utilized  in  accordance  with  the  regulations  promulgated  by  HHS.  In  2021,  we  have  received  an  additional  $34.6 
million of payments under the Provider Relief Fund.

In accordance with the CARES Act, CMS expanded its current Accelerated and Advance Payment Program for Medicare 
providers. Under this program, qualified healthcare providers could receive advanced or accelerated payments from CMS. We 
received  approximately  $321.8  million  of  advanced  payments  under  this  program.  The  majority  of  these  payments  were 
received in April 2020. On October 1, 2020, a short-term government funding bill was signed into law. This bill, among other 
things,  extended  the  repayment  terms  for  providers  who  received  advanced  payments  under  the  Medicare  Accelerated  and 
Advance Payment Program. The bill modified the terms of repayment so that a provider can request no recoupment for one year 
after the advanced payment was issued, followed by a 25.0% recoupment of Medicare payments during the next 11 months, and 
50.0% recoupment of Medicare payments during the last six months. Any amounts that remain unpaid after 29 months would 
be  subject  to  a  4.0%  interest  rate.  Due  to  the  mechanism  in  which  the  advanced  payments  are  repaid,  there  is  uncertainty 
surrounding  when  we  will  repay  the  advances  we  received  under  this  program;  however,  we  anticipate  that  most  of  the 
advances will be repaid within the next 12 months.

Additionally, we implemented other temporary measures to reduce operating costs and expenses. Many of these initiatives 
have been and will continue to be curtailed as we see improvement in patient volumes. These initiatives included reducing labor 
costs through employee furloughs, salary and wage reductions for certain employees, reducing the hours worked by part time 
employees, as well as limiting discretionary spending on capital expenditures. We also deferred payment on our share of payroll 
taxes  owed,  as  allowed  by  the  CARES  Act  through  December  31,  2020.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  deferred 
$106.2 million of payroll taxes, half of which is due December 31, 2021, with the remaining half due on December 31, 2022.

At December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with each of our financial covenants. As of December 31, 2020, we do not 
anticipate  events  or  circumstances  which  would  preclude  us  from  complying  with  our  financial  covenants  in  the  future  or 
prevent  us  from  making  interest  and  principal  payments  when  due.  Our  ability  to  comply  with  our  financial  covenants  and 
obligations  outlined  within  our  debt  agreements  can  be  affected  by  various  risks  and  uncertainties.  Please  refer  to  our  risk 
factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further discussion.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for 
equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or 
exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources and will depend on prevailing market conditions, 
our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Stock  Repurchase  Program.        Holdings’  board  of  directors  has  authorized  a  common  stock  repurchase  program  to 
repurchase up to $500.0 million worth of shares of its common stock. The program has been extended until December 31, 2021, 
and will remain in effect until then, unless further extended or earlier terminated by the board of directors. Stock repurchases 
under  this  program  may  be  made  in  the  open  market  or  through  privately  negotiated  transactions,  and  at  times  and  in  such 
amounts  as  Holdings  deems  appropriate.  Holdings  funds  this  program  with  cash  on  hand  and  borrowings  under  the  Select 
revolving facility. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Holdings repurchased 491,559 shares at a cost of approximately 
$8.7 million, or $17.68 per share, which includes transaction costs. Since the inception of the program through December 31, 
2020,  Holdings  has  repurchased  38,580,908  shares  at  a  cost  of  approximately  $356.6  million,  or  $9.24  per  share,  which 
includes transaction costs.

Use of Capital Resources.    We may from time to time pursue opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships 
with large, regional health systems and other healthcare providers. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics 
and occupational health centers in local areas that we currently serve where we can benefit from existing referral relationships 
and  brand  awareness  to  produce  incremental  growth.  In  addition  to  our  development  activities,  we  may  grow  through 
opportunistic acquisitions.

These figures do not reflect the indebtedness owed by Concentra Inc. to Select pursuant to the Concentra intercompany 
loan agreement in the amount of $1,133.1 million as of December 31, 2020, because such indebtedness is eliminated in 
consolidation.

The  interest  obligation  for  the  Select  credit  facilities  was  calculated  using  the  average  interest  rate  of  3.2%  for  the 
Select term loan at December 31, 2020. The interest obligation for the 6.250% senior notes was calculated using the 
stated interest rate. The weighted average interest rate of our other debt obligations was 3.9% at December 31, 2020.

Amounts represent purchase commitments that are not presented as construction contract commitments. Our purchase 
obligations primarily relate to software licensing and support. 

See Note 21 – Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

See Note 6 – Leases of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

Workers’  compensation  and  professional  malpractice  liability  insurance  liabilities  of  $112.2  million,  which  are 
included as components of other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, have 
been excluded from the table above as we cannot reasonably estimate the amounts or periods in which these liabilities 
will be paid.

Concentra Put Right

Pursuant  to  the  Amended  and  Restated  Limited  Liability  Company  Agreement  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent, 
WCAS and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent and DHHC have Put Rights with respect to their equity 
interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent. On January 1, 2020, February 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, Select, WCAS 
and DHHC consummated the Concentra Interest Purchases, which were in lieu of, and collectively deemed to constitute, the 
exercises  of  WCAS’  and  DHHC’s  first  and  second  Put  Rights,  pursuant  to  which  Select  acquired  an  aggregate  amount  of 
approximately 30% of the outstanding membership interests, on a fully diluted basis, of Concentra Group Holdings Parent from 
WCAS,  DHHC  and  the  other  equity  holders  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent,  in  exchange  for  an  aggregate  payment  of 
approximately  $576.4  million.  Upon  consummation  of  the  Concentra  Interest  Purchases,  Select  owns  in  the  aggregate 
approximately 78.0% of the outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent on a fully diluted basis and 
approximately 79.8% of the outstanding voting membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent.

Table of Contents

WCAS and DHHC may exercise their remaining respective Put Rights to sell up to an additional 33 1/3% of the equity 
interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent that each, respectively, owned as of February 1, 2018, on an annual basis during 
the sixty-day period following the delivery of the audited financial statements for the immediately preceding fiscal year. The 
purchase  price  of  the  equity  interests  is  to  be  based  upon  a  valuation  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent  performed  by  an 
investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or DHHC, which valuation will be based on certain precedent 
transactions using multiples of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of 
Concentra Group Holdings Parent) and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select has the right to elect to pay the 
purchase price in cash or in shares of Holdings’ common stock. If WCAS exercises its future Put Right, the other members of 
Concentra Group Holdings Parent, other than DHHC, may elect to sell to Select, on the same terms as WCAS, a percentage of 
their  equity  interests  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent  that  such  member  owned  as  of  February  1,  2018,  up  to  but  not 
exceeding the percentage of equity interests owned by WCAS as of such date that WCAS has determined to sell to Select in the 
exercise of its Put Right.

Furthermore, WCAS, DHHC, and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent have a put right with respect to 
their equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent that may only be exercised in the event Holdings or Select experiences 
a  change  of  control  that  has  not  been  previously  approved  by  WCAS  and  DHHC,  and  which  results  in  change  in  the  senior 
management of Select (an “SEM COC Put Right”). If an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by WCAS, Select will be obligated 
to  purchase  all  (but  not  less  than  all)  of  the  equity  interests  of  WCAS  and  the  other  members  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings 
Parent  (other  than  DHHC)  offered  by  such  members  at  a  purchase  price  based  on  a  valuation  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings 
Parent performed by an investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or DHHC, which valuation will be 
based  on  certain  precedent  transactions  using  multiples  of  EBITDA  and  capped  at  an  agreed  upon  multiple  of  EBITDA. 
Similarly, if an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by DHHC, Select will be obligated to purchase all (but not less than all) of the 
equity  interests  of  DHHC  at  a  purchase  price  based  on  a  valuation  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent  performed  by  an 
investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or DHHC, which valuation will be based on certain precedent 
transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA.

Furthermore, Select has a call right (the “Call Right”), whereby each other member of Concentra Group Holdings Parent 
will be obligated to sell all or a portion of their equity interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent to Select at a purchase 
price based on a valuation of Concentra Group Holdings Parent performed by an investment bank to be mutually agreed upon 
by  Select  and  either  WCAS  or  DHHC.  The  valuation  will  be  based  on  certain  precedent  transactions  using  multiples  of 
EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select may first exercise the Call Right after February 1, 2022.

We exclude the approximate amount that we may be required to pay to purchase these equity interests in Concentra Group 
Holdings Parent from the contractual obligations table above because of the uncertainty as to: (i) whether or not the Put Right, 
if exercisable, or the Call Right will actually be exercised; (ii) the dollar amounts that would be paid if the Put Right or Call 
Right is exercised; and (iii) the timing and form of consideration of any such payments.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the Medicare program. We have been, and could be in the future, 
affected  by  the  continuing  efforts  of  governmental  and  private  third-party  payors  to  contain  healthcare  costs  by  limiting  or 
reducing reimbursement payments.

Additionally,  reimbursement  payments  under  governmental  and  private  third-party  payor  programs  may  not  increase  to 
sufficiently cover increasing costs. Medicare reimbursement in our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals 
is subject to fixed payments under the Medicare prospective payment systems. In accordance with Medicare laws, CMS makes 
annual adjustments to Medicare payments under what is commonly known as a “market basket update.” Generally, these rates 
are adjusted for inflation. However, these adjustments may not reflect the actual increase in the costs of providing healthcare 
services and may be reduced by CMS for other adjustments.

The  healthcare  industry  is  labor  intensive  and  the  Company’s  largest  expenses  are  labor  related  costs.  Wage  and  other 
expenses increase during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. There can be no guarantee we 
will  not  experience  increases  in  the  cost  of  labor,  as  the  need  for  clinical  healthcare  professionals  is  expected  to  grow.  In 
addition,  suppliers  pass  along  rising  costs  to  us  in  the  form  of  higher  prices.  We  have  little  or  no  ability  to  pass  on  these 
increased costs associated with providing services due to federal laws that establish fixed reimbursement rates.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate 
exposure  relates  to  the  loans  outstanding  under  the  Select  credit  facilities  and  Concentra-JPM  revolving  facility,  which 
generally bear interest at a rate that is indexed against LIBOR. 

As of December 31, 2020, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of a $2,103.4 
million Select term loan (excluding unamortized original issue discount and debt issuance costs of $17.5 million). Select did not 
have any borrowings outstanding under the Select revolving facility. As of December 31, 2020, Concentra Inc. did not have any 
borrowings outstanding under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility.

In order to mitigate our exposure to rising interest rates, we entered into an interest rate cap transaction in October 2020 to 
limit the 1-month LIBOR rate to 1.0% on $2.0 billion of principal outstanding under the Select term loan. The agreement is 
effective  on  March  31,  2021  after  our  current  interest  rate  commitment  period.  The  interest  rate  cap  will  apply  to  interest 
payments from and including April 30, 2021 through September 30, 2024. 

As of December 31, 2020, the 1-month LIBOR rate was 0.14%. Currently, a 0.25% change in market interest rates would 
impact the interest expense on our variable rate debt by $5.3 million per annum. Beginning March 31, 2021, each 0.25% change 
in  market  interest  rates  would  impact  the  interest  expense  on  our  variable  rate  debt  by  $5.3  million  until  1-month  LIBOR 
exceeds 1.0%, at which time the impact of increases in 1-month LIBOR on our interest expense will be mitigated in part by the 
interest rate cap, as described above.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We  carried  out  an  evaluation,  under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  our  principal  executive  officer  and 
principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined 
in  Rule  13a-15(e)  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934)  as  of  the  end  of  the  period  covered  in  this  report.  Based  on  this 
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, 
including the accumulation and communication of disclosure to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as 
appropriate  to  allow  timely  decisions  regarding  disclosure,  are  effective  as  of  December  31,  2020  to  provide  reasonable 
assurance that material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and 
reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There  was  no  change  in  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  (as  defined  in  Rule  13a-15(f)  of  the  Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act 
of  1934  that  occurred  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  that  has  materially  affected,  or  is 
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not 
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part 
upon  certain  assumptions  about  the  likelihood  of  future  events.  Because  of  these  and  other  inherent  limitations  of  control 
systems,  there  is  only  reasonable  assurance  that  our  controls  will  succeed  in  achieving  their  goals  under  all  potential  future 
conditions.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  an  adequate  system  of  internal  control  over  our  financial 
reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the 
Sarbanes-Oxley  Act,  management  has  conducted  an  assessment,  including  testing,  using  the  criteria  of  “Internal  Control—
Integrated  Framework  (2013)”  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission,  or 
“COSO,” as of December 31, 2020. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable 
assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  financial  statements  for 
external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31, 
2020. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control
—Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by COSO. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 
2020,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  effective  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 
The  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2020  has  been  audited  by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm as stated in their report which appears herein.

“Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  comprehensive  income, 
changes  in  equity  and  income  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2020,  including  the 
related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 
listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have 
audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission 
(COSO).  

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, 
in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases as 
of January 1, 2019. 

Basis for Opinions

The  Company's  management  is  responsible  for  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control 
over  financial  reporting,  and  for  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  included  in 
Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting  appearing  under  Item  9A.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express 
opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based 
on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and 
the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether 
due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of 
the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such 
procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as 
well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audit  of  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material 
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our 
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain 
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of 
the  company;  (ii)  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 (iii) 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.

Critical Audit Matters

The  critical  audit  matter  communicated  below  is  a  matter  arising  from  the  current  period  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements  that  was  communicated  or  required  to  be  communicated  to  the  audit  committee  and  that  (i)  relates  to  accounts  or 
disclosures  that  are  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  (ii)  involved  our  especially  challenging,  subjective,  or 
complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial 
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the 
critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of patient accounts receivable

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable is related to 
providing  healthcare  services  to  patients.  These  services  are  paid  for  primarily  by  federal  and  state  governmental  authorities, 
managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, and workers’ compensation and employer-directed programs. As of 
December  31,  2020,  accounts  receivable  of  the  Company  totaled  approximately  $896.8  million.  As  disclosed  by  management, 
accounts receivable is reported at an amount equal to the amount it expects to collect for providing healthcare services to its patients. 
This amount is inclusive of management’s estimate of factors such as implicit discounts and other adjustments, which are estimated 
using historical experience.

The  principal  considerations  for  our  determination  that  performing  procedures  relating  to  the  valuation  of  patient  accounts 
receivable  is  a  critical  audit  matter  are  the  significant  judgment  by  management  in  estimating  accounts  receivable  at  an  amount 
equal to the amount management expects to receive, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort 
in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained in relation to the valuation of patient accounts receivable. 

Addressing  the  matter  involved  performing  procedures  and  evaluating  audit  evidence  in  connection  with  forming  our  overall 
opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others: (i) testing the operating effectiveness of 
controls relating to management’s valuation of patient accounts receivable, (ii) evaluating management’s process for developing its 
estimate patient accounts receivable, (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the underlying data used to estimate 
patient  accounts  receivable,  including  historical  billing  and  reimbursement  data,  and  (iv)  evaluating  the  historical  accuracy  of 
management’s process for developing the estimate of the amount which management expects to collect by comparing actual cash 
receipts related to patient accounts receivable balances which existed as of the prior period balance sheet date.

SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Select  Medical  Holdings  Corporation  (“Holdings”)  include  the  accounts  of  its 
wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Select  Medical  Corporation  (“Select”).  Holdings  conducts  substantially  all  of  its  business  through 
Select and its subsidiaries. Holdings and Select and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

The  Company  is,  based  on  number  of  facilities,  one  of  the  largest  operators  of  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals, 
rehabilitation  hospitals,  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics,  and  occupational  health  centers  in  the  United  States.  As  of 
December  31,  2020,  the  Company  had  operations  in  46  states  and  the  District  of  Columbia.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the 
Company operated 99 critical illness recovery hospitals, 30 rehabilitation hospitals, and 1,788 outpatient rehabilitation clinics. 
As  of  December  31,  2020,  Concentra,  a  joint  venture  subsidiary,  operated  517  occupational  health  centers.  Concentra  also 
operated 134 onsite clinics at employer worksites.

The Company operates through four business segments: the critical illness recovery hospital segment, the rehabilitation 
hospital  segment,  the  outpatient  rehabilitation  segment,  and  the  Concentra  segment.  The  Company’s  critical  illness  recovery 
hospital  segment  consists  of  hospitals  designed  to  serve  the  needs  of  patients  recovering  from  critical  illnesses,  often  with 
complex  medical  needs,  and  the  rehabilitation  hospital  segment  consists  of  hospitals  designed  to  serve  patients  that  require 
intensive  physical  rehabilitation  care.  Patients  are  typically  admitted  to  the  Company’s  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and 
rehabilitation hospitals from general acute care hospitals. The Company’s outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics 
that  provide  physical,  occupational,  and  speech  rehabilitation  services.  The  Company’s  Concentra  segment  consists  of 
occupational health centers that provide workers’ compensation injury care, physical therapy, and consumer health services and 
onsite clinics located at employer worksites that deliver occupational medicine services. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 
of  America  (“GAAP”)  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets, 
liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: revenue recognition, allowances 
for expected credit losses, estimated useful lives of assets, the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, amounts payable for 
self-insured  losses,  and  the  computation  of  income  taxes.  Future  events  and  their  effects  cannot  be  predicted  with  certainty; 
accordingly,  the  Company’s  accounting  estimates  require  the  exercise  of  judgment.  The  accounting  estimates  used  in  the 
preparation  of  the  financial  statements  will  change  as  new  events  occur,  as  more  experience  is  acquired,  as  additional 
information  is  obtained,  and  as  the  Company’s  operating  environment  changes.  The  Company’s  management  evaluates  and 
updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Holdings,  Select,  and  the  subsidiaries,  limited  liability 
companies,  limited  partnerships,  and  variable  interest  entities  in  which  the  Company  has  a  controlling  financial  interest.  All 
intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Non-Controlling Interests

The  ownership  interests  held  by  outside  parties  in  subsidiaries,  which  include  limited  liability  companies  and  limited 
partnerships,  controlled  by  the  Company  are  classified  as  non-controlling  interests.  Net  income  or  loss  is  attributed  to  the 
Company’s non-controlling interests. Some of the Company’s non-controlling ownership interests consist of outside parties that 
have  certain  redemption  rights  that,  if  exercised,  require  the  Company  to  purchase  the  parties’  ownership  interests.  These 
interests  are  classified  and  reported  as  redeemable  non-controlling  interests  and  have  been  adjusted  to  their  approximate 
redemption values, after the attribution of net income or loss.

Earnings per Share

The Company’s capital structure includes common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. To compute earnings per 
share  (“EPS”),  the  Company  applies  the  two-class  method  because  the  Company’s  unvested  restricted  stock  awards  are 
participating securities which are entitled to participate equally with the Company’s common stock in undistributed earnings. 
Application of the Company’s two-class method is as follows:

(i) Net income attributable to the Company is reduced by the amount of dividends declared and by the contractual amount 

of dividends that must be paid for the current period for each class of stock, if any.

(ii) The remaining undistributed net income of the Company is then equally allocated to its common stock and unvested 
restricted stock awards, as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total net income allocated to 
each security is determined by adding both distributed and undistributed net income for the period. 

(iii) The net income allocated to each security is then divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the 

period to determine the EPS for each security considered in the two-class method. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash 

equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable

Substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  accounts  receivable  is  related  to  providing  healthcare  services  to  patients.  These 
services are paid for primarily by federal and state governmental authorities, managed care health plans, commercial insurance 
companies,  workers’  compensation  programs,  and  employer-directed  programs.  The  Company’s  general  policy  is  to  verify 
insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for patients admitted to its critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation 
hospitals.  Within  the  Company’s  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics,  insurance  coverage  is  verified  prior  to  the  patient’s  visit. 
Within  the  Company’s  Concentra  centers,  insurance  coverage  is  verified  or  an  authorization  is  received  from  the  patient’s 
employer prior to the patient’s visit.

The  Company  performs  periodic  assessments  to  determine  if  an  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  is  necessary.  The 
Company  considers  its  incurred  loss  experience  and  adjusts  for  known  and  expected  events  and  other  circumstances.  In 
estimating  its  expected  credit  losses,  the  Company  may  consider  changes  in  the  length  of  time  its  receivables  have  been 
outstanding, changes in credit ratings for its payors, requests from payors to alter payment terms due to financial difficulty, and 
notices of payor bankruptcies or payors entering receivership. Because the Company’s accounts receivable is typically paid for 
by  highly-solvent,  creditworthy  payors,  such  as  Medicare,  other  governmental  programs,  and  highly-regulated  commercial 
insurers  on  behalf  of  the  patient,  the  Company’s  credit  losses  have  been  infrequent  and  insignificant  in  nature.  Amounts 
recognized for allowances for expected credit losses are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Leases

The  Company  adopted  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (“ASC”)  Topic  842,  Leases  as  of  January  1,  2019.  The 
Company used the modified retrospective approach for leases which existed on that date. Prior comparative periods were not 
adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases.

Under ASC 842, the Company evaluates whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. Upon 
lease commencement, the date on which a lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company for use, the Company 
classifies  the  lease  as  either  an  operating  or  finance  lease.  Most  of  the  Company’s  facility  leases  are  classified  as  operating 
leases. 

A right-of-use asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while the lease liability 
represents an obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured at 
the  present  value  of  the  remaining,  fixed  lease  payments  at  lease  commencement.  As  most  of  the  Company’s  leases  do  not 
specify  an  implicit  rate,  the  Company  uses  its  incremental  borrowing  rate,  which  coincides  with  the  lease  term  at  the 
commencement of a lease, in determining the present value of its remaining lease payments. The Company’s leases may also 
specify  extension  or  termination  clauses;  these  options  are  factored  into  the  measurement  of  the  lease  liability  when  it  is 
reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Right-of-use assets also include any prepaid lease payments and 
initial direct costs, less any lease incentive received, at the lease commencement date. 

The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, as a single 
lease  component  for  its  facility  leases.  As  a  result,  the  fixed  payments  that  would  otherwise  be  allocated  to  the  non-lease 
components are accounted for as lease payments and are included in the measurement of the Company’s right-of-use asset and 
lease liability. 

For  the  Company’s  operating  leases,  lease  expense,  a  component  of  cost  of  services  and  general  and  administrative 
expense  on  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term.  For  the 
Company’s  finance  leases,  interest  expense  on  the  lease  liability  is  recognized  using  the  effective  interest  method  and 
amortization  expense  related  to  the  right-of-use  asset  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  shorter  of  the  estimated 
useful life of the asset or the lease term. The Company also makes variable lease payments which are expensed as incurred. 
These payments relate to changes in indexes or rates after the lease commencement date, as well as property taxes, insurance, 
and common area maintenance which were not fixed at lease commencement. This expense is a component of cost of services 
and general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. 

The  Company  may  enter  into  arrangements  to  sublease  portions  of  its  facilities  and  the  Company  typically  retains  the 
obligation to the lessor under these arrangements. The Company’s subleases are classified as operating leases; accordingly, the 
Company  continues  to  account  for  the  original  leases  as  it  did  prior  to  commencement  of  the  subleases.  Sublease  income,  a 
component of cost of services on the consolidated statements of operations, is recognized on a straight-line basis, as a reduction 
to lease expense, over the term of the sublease.

The Company elected the short-term lease exemption for equipment leases; accordingly, equipment leases with terms of 
12  months  or  less  are  not  recorded  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  For  these  leases,  the  Company  recognizes  lease 
payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. These expenses are 
included as components of cost of services on the consolidated statements of operations.

Property and Equipment

Property  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost,  net  of  accumulated  depreciation.  Maintenance  and  repairs  of  property  and 
equipment  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Improvements  that  increase  the  estimated  useful  life  of  an  asset  are  capitalized.  Direct 
internal and external costs of developing software for internal use, including programming and enhancements, are capitalized 
and depreciated over the estimated useful lives once the software is placed in service. Capitalized software costs are included 
within furniture and equipment. Software training costs, maintenance, and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and 
amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, as 
appropriate. The general range of useful lives is as follows:

Land improvements

Leasehold improvements

Buildings

Building improvements

Furniture and equipment

5 – 25 years

1 – 20 years

40 years

5 – 40 years

1 – 20 years

The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the carrying amount of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are 
less  than  the  carrying  amount  of  such  assets  or  asset  groups,  the  Company  recognizes  an  impairment  loss  to  the  extent  the 
carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets

Goodwill  and  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  recognized  primarily  as  the  result  of  business  combinations.  
Goodwill is assigned to reporting units based upon the specific nature of the business acquired. When a business combination 
contains business components related to more than one reporting unit, goodwill is assigned to each reporting unit based upon an 
allocation  determined  by  the  relative  fair  values  of  the  business  acquired.  When  the  Company  disposes  of  a  business,  the 
Company allocates a portion of the reporting unit’s goodwill to that business using the relative fair value methodology. 

Goodwill  and  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  not  amortized,  but  instead  are  subject  to  periodic  impairment 
evaluations.  Impairment  tests  are  required  to  be  conducted  at  least  annually  or  when  events  or  conditions  occur  that  might 
suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the 
business environment, regulatory environment, or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a 
history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. 
The  occurrence  of  one  of  these  events  or  conditions  could  significantly  impact  an  impairment  assessment,  necessitating  an 
impairment charge. 

The  Company  may  first  assess  qualitatively  whether  goodwill  is  more  likely  than  not  impaired  by  considering  relevant 
events  or  circumstances  that  affect  the  fair  value  or  carrying  amount  of  a  reporting  unit.  If  goodwill  is  more  likely  than  not 
impaired,  the  Company  is  then  required  to  complete  a  quantitative  analysis.  The  Company  considers  both  the  income  and 
market approach in determining the fair values of its reporting units when performing a quantitative analysis. If the carrying 
value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the difference between the carrying 
amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill of the reporting unit.

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s other indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trademarks, certificates of need, 
and accreditations. To determine the fair values of its trademarks, the Company uses a relief from royalty income approach. For 
the  Company’s  certificates  of  need  and  accreditations,  the  Company  performs  qualitative  assessments.  As  part  of  these 
assessments,  the  Company  evaluates  the  current  business  environment,  regulatory  environment,  legal  and  other  company-
specific  factors.  If  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  the  fair  values  are  less  than  the  carrying  values,  the  Company  performs  a 
quantitative impairment test.

The  Company’s  most  recent  impairment  assessments  were  completed  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020  utilizing 
information as of October 1, 2020. The Company did not identify any instances of impairment with respect to goodwill or other 
indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1, 2020.

Finite-lived identifiable intangible assets

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships and non-compete 
agreements. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or 
otherwise depleted. If such a pattern cannot be reliably determined, finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line 
basis  over  their  estimated  lives.  Management  believes  that  the  below  estimated  useful  lives  are  reasonable  based  on  the 
economic factors applicable to each class of finite-lived intangible asset. 

Customer relationships

Non-compete agreements

5 – 15 years

1 – 15 years

The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount of those assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. If the expected undiscounted future 
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of such assets or asset groups, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the 
extent the carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.

Equity Method Investments

The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise 
significant  influence  over  the  operating  and  financial  policies  of  the  investee,  but  does  not  possess  a  controlling  financial 
interest in the investee. Investments of this nature are recorded at their original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the 
Company’s  proportionate  share  of  its  investees’  net  income  or  losses  after  the  date  of  investment.  When  net  losses  from  an 
investment accounted for under the equity method exceed the carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero. The 
Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the investee subsequently reports net income and 
the Company’s share of that net income exceeds the share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method 
was  suspended.  Investments  are  written  down  only  when  there  is  clear  evidence  that  a  decline  in  value  that  is  other  than 
temporary  has  occurred.  The  Company  evaluates  its  equity  method  investments  for  impairment  when  there  is  evidence  or 
indicators that a loss in value may be other than temporary.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have 
been recognized in the Company’s financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the 
differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the 
differences are expected to reverse. The Company also recognizes the future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards 
as deferred tax assets. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the 
period that includes the enactment date.

The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets and reduces those assets using a valuation allowance if it is 
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Among the factors used to assess the 
likelihood  of  realization  are  projections  of  future  taxable  income  streams,  the  expected  timing  of  the  reversals  of  existing 
temporary differences, and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future 
tax benefits.

Reserves  for  uncertain  tax  positions  are  established  for  exposure  items  related  to  various  federal  and  state  tax  matters. 
Income tax reserves are recorded when an exposure is identified and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than 
not that a tax position will not be sustained and the amount of the liability can be estimated.

Insurance Risk Programs

Under  a  number  of  the  Company’s  insurance  programs,  which  include  the  Company’s  employee  health  insurance, 
workers’  compensation,  and  professional  malpractice  liability  insurance  programs,  the  Company  is  liable  for  a  portion  of  its 
losses  before  it  can  attempt  to  recover  from  the  applicable  insurance  carrier.  The  Company  accrues  for  losses  under  an 
occurrence-based approach whereby the Company estimates the losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period 
and accrues that estimated liability using actuarial methods. These programs are monitored quarterly and estimates are revised 
as necessary to take into account additional information. The Company also records insurance proceeds receivable for liabilities 
which exceed the Company’s deductibles and self-insured retention limits and are recoverable through its insurance policies. 

Revenue Recognition

Patient Services Revenue

Patient service revenues are recognized at an amount equal to the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in 
exchange  for  providing  healthcare  services  to  its  patients.  Amounts  owed  for  services  provided  are  the  obligations  of  the 
Company’s  patients  and  can  be  paid  for  by  third-party  payors,  including  health  insurers,  government  programs,  and  other 
payors on the patient’s behalf. Most all of the Company’s patients are subject to healthcare coverage through a third party payor 
arrangement.  Given  the  nature  and  extent  of  third  party  payor  arrangements,  the  Company  disaggregates  its  revenue  by  the 
following payor categories:

Medicare:  Medicare  is  a  federal  program  that  provides  medical  insurance  benefits  to  persons  age  65  and  over,  some 
disabled persons, and persons with end stage renal disease. The Company determines the transaction price for services provided 
to  patients  who  are  Medicare  beneficiaries  using  Medicare’s  prospective  payment  systems  and  other  payment  methods.  The 
expected payment is determined by the level of clinical services provided and is sensitive to the patient’s length of stay.

Non-Medicare:  Non-Medicare  payor  sources  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  insurance  companies  (including  Medicare 
Advantage  plans),  state  Medicaid  programs,  workers’  compensation  programs,  health  maintenance  organizations,  preferred 
provider organizations, other managed care companies and employers, as well as patients themselves. The transaction price for 
services provided to non-Medicare patients include amounts prescribed by state and federal fee schedules, negotiated contract 
amounts, or usual and customary amounts associated with the specific payor or based on the service provided. The Company 
applies the portfolio approach in determining revenues for certain homogeneous non-Medicare patient populations. 

The Company’s principal revenue source comes from providing healthcare services to patients. For patients treated within 
the  Company’s  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  and  Concentra  centers,  performance  obligations  are  generally  satisfied  upon 
completion of the patient’s visit. For patients treated within the Company’s critical illness recovery and rehabilitation hospitals, 
the  Company’s  performance  obligation  is  satisfied  over  the  duration  of  the  patient’s  stay.  As  such,  the  Company  recognizes 
revenue  over  the  patient’s  stay  in  amounts  which  are  commensurate  with  the  level  of  services  provided  to  the  patient.  Any 
differences between the Company’s estimates of the transaction price, which may be impacted by various factors as described 
further below, and the payment received upon a patient’s discharge would be recognized as revenue in the period in which this 
change becomes known; such adjustments are not significant. The Company has an obligation to continue delivering treatment 
to patients admitted in the Company’s critical illness recovery and rehabilitation hospitals at the end of each reporting period. 
These performance obligations are typically satisfied in the subsequent month following the reporting period. The Company has 
elected  the  optional  exemption  which  allows  for  the  exclusion  of  disclosures  regarding  the  transaction  price  allocated  to 
unsatisfied performance obligations of contracts with a duration of less than one year. 

F-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1.   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Revenue earned from providing services to patients is variable in nature, as the Company is required to make judgments 
which impact the transaction price, such as a patient’s condition and length of stay. These factors, among others, impact the 
payment  the  Company  expects  to  receive  for  providing  services.  Variable  consideration  included  in  the  transaction  price  is 
inclusive  of  the  Company’s  estimates  of  implicit  discounts  and  other  adjustments  related  to  timely  filing  and  documentation 
denials,  out  of  network  adjustments,  and  medical  necessity  denials,  which  are  estimated  using  the  Company’s  historical 
experience. The Company is also subject to regular post-payment inquiries, investigations, and audits of the claims it submits 
for services provided. Some claims can take several years for resolution and may result in adjustments to the transaction price. 
Management  includes  in  its  estimates  of  the  transaction  price  its  expectations  for  these  types  of  adjustments  such  that  the 
amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not be subject to significant reversal in future periods. Historically, adjustments 
arising from a change in the transaction price have not been significant.

Other Revenues

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  for  other  services  which  principally  consist  of  management  and  employee  leasing 
services  under  contractual  arrangements  with  both  related  parties  affiliated  with  the  Company  and  non-affiliated  healthcare 
institutions.  The Company accounts for management and employee leasing services as single performance obligations satisfied 
over time. The transaction price is variable in nature and the Company recognizes revenue in amounts which are commensurate 
with the level of services provided during the period. The Company’s transaction price is determined such that the amount of 
cumulative revenue recognized will not be subject to significant reversal in future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In  March  2020,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  (“ASU”) 
2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and 
in January 2021, the FASB issued 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope, which further clarified the scope of the 
reference rate reform optional practical expedients and exceptions outlined in Topic 848. Topic 848 provides temporary relief 
from  some  of  the  existing  rules  governing  contract  modifications  when  the  modification  is  related  to  the  replacement  of  the 
London  Interbank  Offered  Rate  (“LIBOR”)  or  other  reference  rates  discontinued  as  a  result  of  reference  rate  reform.  For 
eligible contract modifications, the update generally allows an entity to account for and present modifications as an event that 
does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. That 
is, the modified contract is accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract. For cash flow hedging relationships affected 
by  reference  rate  reform,  Topic  848  provides  expedients  that  allow  an  entity  to  (i)  change  the  reference  rate  of  either  the 
forecasted  transaction  or  hedging  instrument  due  to  reference  rate  reform  without  requiring  dedesignation  of  the  hedging 
relationship; (ii) assert that changes to the hedged forecasted transaction due to reference rate reform will not impact whether it 
remains probable of occurring; and (iii) for the purposes of assessment of hedge effectiveness assume that the reference rate 
will  not  be  replaced  for  the  remainder  of  the  hedging  relationship  if  both  the  hedged  forecasted  transaction  and  hedging 
instrument are expected to be impacted by reference rate reform. The standard was effective upon issuance on March 12, 2020, 
and the optional practical expedients can generally be applied to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered 
into on or before December 31, 2022. 

Borrowings under the Select credit agreement bear interest, at the election of Select, based on LIBOR or an alternate base 
rate.  Provisions  within  the  Select  credit  agreement  currently  provide  the  Company  with  the  ability  to  agree  with  JPMorgan 
Chase  Bank,  N.A.,  as  administrative  agent  to  the  lenders,  to  replace  LIBOR  with  a  different  reference  rate  in  the  event  that 
LIBOR ceases to exist. For the Company’s cash flow hedge, described further in Note 12 – Interest Rate Cap, the Company has 
elected  to  assert  that  the  hedged  forecasted  transaction  remains  probable  of  occurring  and  for  the  purposes  of  assessment  of 
hedge effectiveness assume that the reference rate will not be replaced for the remainder of the hedging relationship, as outlined 
by Topic 848. The Company is currently evaluating the other optional practical expedients provided under the standard and the 
effects they could have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if elected.

Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and 
Derivatives  and  Hedging—Contracts  in  Entity’s  Own  Equity  (Subtopic  815-40):  Accounting  for  Convertible  Instruments  and 
Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of 
liabilities  and  equity,  including  convertible  instruments  and  contracts  on  an  entity’s  own  equity.  As  part  of  this  update, 
convertible instruments are to be included in diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method, rather than the treasury 
stock  method.  Further,  contracts  which  can  be  settled  in  cash  or  shares,  excluding  liability-classified  share-based  payment 
awards, are to be included in diluted earnings per share on an if-converted basis if the effect is dilutive, regardless of whether 
the  entity  or  the  counterparty  can  choose  between  cash  and  share  settlement.  The  share-settlement  presumption  may  not  be 
rebutted based on past experience or a stated policy.

This  pronouncement  is  effective  for  fiscal  years,  and  for  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after 
December 15, 2021. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement as of January 1, 2022. The use of either the modified 
retrospective  or  fully  retrospective  method  of  transition  is  permitted.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  ASU 
2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit 
Losses  on  Financial  Instruments  (Topic  326),  which  replaced  the  incurred  loss  approach  for  recognizing  credit  losses  on 
financial instruments with an expected loss approach. The expected loss approach is subject to management judgments using 
assessments  of  incurred  credit  losses,  assessments  of  current  conditions,  and  forecasts  using  reasonable  and  supportable 
assumptions.  The  standard  was  required  to  be  applied  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach  with  a  cumulative-effect 
adjustment to retained earnings, if any, upon adoption.

The Company’s primary financial instrument subject to the standard is its accounts receivable derived from contracts with 
its  patients.  Historically,  the  Company  has  experienced  infrequent,  immaterial  credit  losses  related  to  its  accounts  receivable 
and,  based  on  its  experience,  believes  the  risk  of  material  defaults  is  low.  The  Company  experienced  credit  losses  of 
$1.1  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  credit  loss  recoveries  of  $0.1  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2018, and credit losses of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s historical credit losses have been 
infrequent  and  immaterial  largely  because  the  Company’s  accounts  receivable  are  typically  paid  for  by  highly-solvent, 
creditworthy payors, such as Medicare, other governmental programs, and highly-regulated commercial insurers, on behalf of 
the patient.

In estimating the Company’s expected credit losses under Topic 326, the Company considers its incurred loss experience 
and adjusts for known and expected events and other circumstances, identified using periodic assessments implemented by the 
Company,  which  management  believes  are  relevant  in  assessing  the  collectability  of  its  accounts  receivable.  Because  of  the 
infrequent and insignificant nature of the Company’s historical credit losses, forecasts of expected credit losses are generally 
unnecessary. Expected credit losses are recognized by the Company through an allowance for credit losses and related credit 
loss expense. 

As of January 1, 2020, the Company completed its expected credit loss assessment for its financial instruments subject to 
Topic 326. The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses as of January 1, 2020, resulted in no adjustments to the allowance 
for credit losses and no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on the adoption date of the standard.

Goodwill

On  January  1,  2020,  the  Company  adopted  ASU  2017-04,  Intangibles—Goodwill  and  Other:  Simplifying  the  Test  for 
Goodwill Impairment. This amendment eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill, the second 
step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test, to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, an impairment charge will 
be based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. ASU 2017-04 did not impact the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

2.   Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests

The Company’s redeemable non-controlling interests are comprised primarily of the voting membership interests owned 
by  outside  members  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent,  LLC  (“Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent”),  each  which  have  put 
rights with respect to their interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent. The redemption value of these membership interests 
is approximately $939.9 million and $368.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  Select,  Welsh,  Carson,  Anderson  &  Stowe  XII,  L.P.  (“WCAS”),  Dignity 
Health  Holding  Corporation  (“DHHC”),  and  other  members  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent  entered  into  agreements 
pursuant  to  which  Select  acquired  additional  outstanding  membership  interests  of  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent.  The 
aggregate purchase price for these interests was $576.4 million. Following these purchases, Select owns approximately 78.0% 
of the outstanding membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent on a fully diluted basis and approximately 79.8% 
of the outstanding voting membership interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent.

The changes in redeemable non-controlling interests were as follows:

Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  concentrations  of  credit  risk  consist  primarily  of  cash 
balances  and  accounts  receivable.  The  Company’s  excess  cash  is  held  with  large  financial  institutions.  The  Company  grants 
unsecured credit to its patients, most of whom reside in the service area of the Company’s facilities and are insured under third-
party payor agreements.

Because  of  the  diversity  in  the  Company’s  non-governmental  third-party  payor  base,  as  well  as  their  geographic 
dispersion,  accounts  receivable  due  from  the  Medicare  program  represent  the  Company’s  only  significant  concentration  of 
credit risk. Approximately 15% and 18% of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from Medicare at December 31, 2019 
and 2020, respectively.

Revenues from providing services to patients covered under the Medicare program represented approximately 27%, 26%, 
and 25% of the Company’s total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. As a provider 
of  services  under  the  Medicare  program,  the  Company  is  subject  to  extensive  regulations.  The  inability  of  any  of  the 
Company’s  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals,  rehabilitation  hospitals,  or  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  to  comply  with 
Medicare  regulations  can  result  in  the  Company  receiving  significantly  less  Medicare  payments  than  the  Company  currently 
receives for the services it provides to its patients.

4.   Acquisitions

U.S. HealthWorks Acquisition

On  February  1,  2018,  Concentra  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  shares  of  stock  of  U.S.  HealthWorks,  Inc. 
(“U.S. HealthWorks”), an occupational medicine and urgent care provider, from DHHC. Concentra acquired U.S. HealthWorks 
for $753.6 million. DHHC, a subsidiary of Dignity Health, was issued a 20.0% equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings 
Parent, which was valued at $238.0 million. The remainder of the purchase price was paid in cash. Select retained a majority 
voting interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent following the closing of the transaction.

U.S. HealthWorks contributed revenue of $488.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is reflected in the 
Company’s  consolidated  statement  of  operations.  Due  to  the  integrated  nature  of  the  Company’s  operations,  the  Company 
believes it is not practicable to separately identify earnings of U.S. HealthWorks on a stand-alone basis.

Pro Forma Results 

The  following  pro  forma  unaudited  results  of  operations  have  been  prepared  assuming  the  acquisition  of  U.S. 
HealthWorks occurred on January 1, 2017. Acquisition costs of $2.9 million were excluded from the pro forma results. These 
results  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  results  of  future  operations  nor  of  the  results  that  would  have  occurred  had  the 
acquisition been consummated on the aforementioned date.

5.   Variable Interest Entities

Certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts the Company from owning medical practices 
which  directly  employ  physicians  and  from  exercising  control  over  medical  decisions  by  physicians.  In  these  states,  the 
Company enters into long-term management agreements with medical practices that are owned by licensed physicians, which, 
in turn, employ or contract with physicians who provide professional medical services in its occupational health centers. The 
agreements provide for the Company to direct the transfer of ownership of the medical practices to new licensed physicians at 
any time. Based on the provisions of the management agreements, the medical practices are variable interest entities for which 
the Company is the primary beneficiary. 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the total assets of the Company’s variable interest entities were $178.4 million and 
$208.4 million, respectively, and are principally comprised of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the total 
liabilities of these variable interest entities were $52.7 million and $55.1 million, respectively, and are principally comprised of 
accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company’s variable interest entities have obligations payable for services received 
under the aforementioned management agreements of $124.1 million and $151.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, 
respectively; these intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.  

6.   Leases

The  Company  has  operating  and  finance  leases  for  its  facilities.  The  Company  leases  its  corporate  office  space  from 
related parties. The Company’s critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals generally have lease terms of 10 
years  with  two,  five  year  renewal  options.  These  renewal  options  vary  for  hospitals  which  operate  as  a  hospital  within  a 
hospital, or “HIH.” The Company’s outpatient rehabilitation clinics generally have lease terms of five years with two, three to 
five year renewal options. The Company’s Concentra centers generally have lease terms of 10 years with two, five year renewal 
options.

Under  a  number  of  the  Company’s  insurance  programs,  which  include  the  Company’s  employee  health  insurance, 
workers’  compensation,  and  professional  malpractice  liability  insurance  programs,  the  Company  is  liable  for  a  portion  of  its 
losses  before  it  can  attempt  to  recover  from  the  applicable  insurance  carrier.  The  Company  accrues  for  losses  under  an 
occurrence-based approach whereby the Company estimates the losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period 
and  accrues  that  estimated  liability  using  actuarial  methods.  At  December  31,  2019  and  2020,  provisions  for  losses  for 
professional liability risks retained by the Company have been discounted at 3%. The Company recorded a liability of $157.1 
million  and  $173.6  million  related  to  these  programs  at  December  31,  2019  and  2020,  respectively.  If  the  Company  did  not 
discount the provisions for losses for professional liability risks, the aggregate liability for all of the insurance risk programs 
would  be  approximately  $162.0  million  and  $178.4  million  at  December  31,  2019  and  2020,  respectively.  At  December  31, 
2019  and  2020,  the  Company  recorded  insurance  proceeds  receivable  of  $15.5  million  and  $13.0  million,  respectively,  for 
liabilities which exceeded its deductibles and self-insured retention limits and are recoverable through its insurance policies.

Select Credit Facilities

On March 6, 2017, Select entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “Select credit agreement”). The Select credit 
agreement provides for $2,265.0 million in term loan borrowings (the “Select term loan”) and a $450.0 million revolving credit 
facility (the “Select revolving facility” and, together with the Select term loan, the “Select credit facilities”), including a $75.0 
million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2020, Select had $410.7 million of availability 
under the Select revolving facility after giving effect to $39.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. The Select term loan and 
the Select revolving facility are due March 6, 2025 and March 6, 2024, respectively.

The interest rate on the Select term loan is equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) 
plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) plus a 
percentage  ranging  from  1.25%  to  1.50%,  in  each  case  subject  to  a  specified  leverage  ratio.  The  interest  rate  on  the  loans 
outstanding under the Select revolving facility is equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from  2.25% to 
2.50%, or the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case subject to a specified leverage 
ratio. 

As of December 31, 2020, the applicable interest rate for the Select term loan was the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.25% or 
the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.25%. The applicable interest rate for the Select revolving facility was the Adjusted LIBO Rate 
plus 2.25% or the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.25%.

The Select revolving facility requires Select to maintain a leverage ratio, as specified in the Select credit agreement, not to 

exceed 7.00 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2020, Select’s leverage ratio was 3.48 to 1.00. 

Borrowings under the Select credit facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of Select’s current domestic 
subsidiaries, other than certain non-guarantor subsidiaries including Concentra and its subsidiaries, and will be guaranteed by 
substantially  all  of  Select’s  future  domestic  subsidiaries.  Borrowings  under  the  Select  credit  facilities  are  secured  by 
substantially all of Select’s existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Select’s capital stock, the capital stock of 
Select’s domestic subsidiaries, other than certain non-guarantor subsidiaries including Concentra and its subsidiaries, and up to 
65% of the capital stock of Select’s foreign subsidiaries held directly by Select or a domestic subsidiary.

Prepayment of Borrowings

Select will be required to prepay borrowings under the Select credit facilities with (i) the net cash proceeds received from 
non-ordinary  course  asset  sales  or  other  dispositions,  or  as  a  result  of  a  casualty  or  condemnation,  subject  to  reinvestment 
provisions  and  other  customary  carveouts  and,  to  the  extent  required,  the  payment  of  certain  indebtedness  secured  by  liens 
having priority over the debt under the Select credit facilities or subject to a first lien intercreditor agreement, (ii) the net cash 
proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (iii) a percentage of 
excess cash flow (as defined in the Select credit agreement) based on Select’s leverage ratio, as specified in the Select credit 
agreement. The Company will not be required to make a prepayment of borrowings as a result of excess cash flow for the year 
ended December 31, 2020.

Select 6.250% Senior Notes 

On August 1, 2019, Select issued and sold $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes due August 
15, 2026. On December 10, 2019, Select issued and sold $675.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes, 
due August 15, 2026, as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which it previously issued $550.0 million aggregate 
principal amount of senior notes. The additional senior notes were issued at 106.00% of the aggregate principal amount. Interest 
on the senior notes accrues at the rate of 6.250% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 
15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2020. 

The  senior  notes  are  Select’s  senior  unsecured  obligations  which  are  subordinated  to  all  of  Select’s  existing  and  future 
secured indebtedness, including the Select credit facilities. The senior notes rank equally in right of payment with all of Select’s 
other  existing  and  future  senior  unsecured  indebtedness  and  senior  in  right  of  payment  to  all  of  Select’s  existing  and  future 
subordinated  indebtedness.  The  senior  notes  are  unconditionally  guaranteed  on  a  joint  and  several  basis  by  each  of  Select’s 
direct  or  indirect  existing  and  future  domestic  restricted  subsidiaries,  other  than  certain  non-guarantor  subsidiaries,  including 
Concentra and its subsidiaries.

Prior to August 15, 2022, Select may redeem some or all of the senior notes by paying a “make-whole” premium. On or 
after August 15, 2022, Select may redeem some or all of the senior notes at specified redemption prices. In addition, prior to 
August 15, 2022, Select may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the senior notes with the net proceeds of certain 
equity offerings at a price of 106.250% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Select is obligated to offer to repurchase the 
senior notes at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change of 
control events. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

Concentra-JPM Revolving Facility

On  June  1,  2015,  Concentra  Inc.  entered  into  a  first  lien  credit  agreement  (the  “Concentra-JPM  first  lien  credit 
agreement”). The Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement currently provides for availability of up to $100.0 million under a 
revolving  credit  facility  (the  “Concentra-JPM  revolving  facility”),  which  matures  March  1,  2022.  At  December  31,  2020, 
Concentra Inc. had $83.6 million of availability under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility after giving effect to $16.4 million 
of outstanding letters of credit. 

The interest rate on amounts borrowed under the Concentra-JPM revolving facility is equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as 
defined in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or the Alternate Base 
Rate (as defined in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case 
subject to a first lien net leverage ratio, as specified in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement. 

At December 31, 2020, the applicable interest rate for the Concentra-JPM revolving facility was the Adjusted LIBO Rate 

plus 2.50% or the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50%.

The  Concentra-JPM  first  lien  credit  agreement  requires  Concentra  Inc.  to  maintain  a  leverage  ratio,  as  specified  in  the 
Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement, of 5.75 to 1.00 which is tested quarterly, but only if Revolving Exposure (as defined 
in the Concentra-JPM first lien credit agreement) exceeds 30% of Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Concentra-JPM 
first lien credit agreement) on such day.

The  borrowings  under  the  Concentra-JPM  first  lien  credit  agreement  are  guaranteed,  on  a  first  lien  basis  by  Concentra 
Holdings, Inc., Concentra Inc., and certain domestic subsidiaries of Concentra Inc. (subject, in each case, to permitted liens). 
These  borrowings  will  also  be  guaranteed  by  certain  of  Concentra  Inc.’s  future  domestic  subsidiaries.  The  borrowings  are 
secured by substantially all of Concentra Inc.’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ existing and future property and assets and by a 
pledge of Concentra Inc.’s capital stock, the capital stock of certain of Concentra Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of 
the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Concentra Inc.’s foreign subsidiaries, if any.

11.   Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable (Continued)

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company refinanced its Select credit facilities and the Concentra-JPM first 
lien credit agreement which resulted in losses on early retirement of debt of $14.2 million. The loss on early retirement of debt 
consisted of $3.0 million of debt extinguishment losses and $11.2 million of debt modification losses. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Company  refinanced  its  senior  notes,  Select  credit  facilities,  the 
Concentra-JPM first and second lien credit agreements which resulted in losses on early retirement of debt of $38.1 million. 
The  losses  on  early  retirement  of  debt  consisted  of  $22.1  million  of  debt  extinguishment  losses  and  $16.0  million  of  debt 
modification losses.

12.   Interest Rate Cap 

The  Company  is  subject  to  market  risk  exposure  arising  from  changes  in  interest  rates  on  the  Select  term  loan,  which 
bears interest at a variable interest rate, as discussed further in Note 11 – Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable. The Company’s 
objective  in  using  an  interest  rate  derivative  was  to  mitigate  its  exposure  to  increases  in  interest  rates.  To  accomplish  this 
objective,  the  Company  entered  into  an  interest  rate  cap  agreement  in  October  2020.  The  interest  rate  cap  will  limit  the 
Company’s exposure to increases in the reference rate to 1.0% on $2.0 billion of principal outstanding under the Select term 
loan, as the interest rate cap provides for payments from the counterparty when interest rates rise above 1.0%. The interest rate 
cap has a $2.0 billion notional amount and is effective March 31, 2021 for the monthly periods from and including April 30, 
2021 through September 30, 2024. The interest rate cap has a deferred premium; accordingly, the Company will pay a monthly 
premium  for  the  interest  rate  cap  over  the  term  of  the  agreement.  The  annual  premium  is  equal  to  0.0916%  on  the  notional 
amount.

As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  interest  rate  cap  has  been  designated  as  a  cash  flow  hedge  and  is  highly  effective  at 
offsetting the changes in cash outflows when the reference rate exceeds 1.0%. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap, 
net of tax, are recognized in other comprehensive income and are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income 
and into interest expense when the hedged interest obligations affect earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the 
Company recognized losses, net of tax, of $2.0 million related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap contract in 
other comprehensive income. The Company did not reclassify any amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive income 
into  interest  expense  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020.  Refer  to  Note  13  –  Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments  for 
information on the fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap contract and its balance sheet classification. 

Based on the fair value of the interest rate cap contract December 31, 2020, the estimated pre-tax losses expected to be 
reclassified  from  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  into  interest  expense  within  the  next  twelve  months  is 
approximately $1.3 million.

13.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial  instruments  which  are  measured  at  fair  value,  or  for  which  a  fair  value  is  disclosed,  are  classified  in  the  fair 

value hierarchy, as outlined below, on the basis of the observability of the inputs used in the fair value measurement:

•

•

•

Level 1 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or 
similar  instruments  in  markets  that  are  not  active,  and  model-based  valuation  techniques  for  which  all  significant 
inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data. 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market 
participants would use in pricing the instrument.

18.   Stock-based Compensation

Holdings’  equity  incentive  plan  provides  for  the  issuance  of  various  stock-based  awards.  Under  its  current  plan,  which 
was approved during the year ended December 31, 2020, Holdings has issued restricted stock awards. The equity plan currently 
allows for the issuance of 7,484,000 awards, as adjusted for cancelled or forfeited awards through December 31, 2020. As of 
December 31, 2020, Holdings has capacity to issue 6,005,786 stock-based awards under its equity plan. The equity plan allows 
for authorized but previously unissued shares or shares previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by Holdings to satisfy 
these awards. 

The Company measures the compensation costs of stock-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair 
value  and  recognizes  the  costs  over  the  period  during  which  employees  are  required  to  provide  services.  Restricted  stock 
awards  are  valued  using  the  closing  market  price  of  Holdings’  stock  on  the  date  of  grant.  These  restricted  stock  awards 
generally vest over three to four years. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Transactions related to restricted stock awards are as follows:

values of restricted stock awards vested were $19.1 million, $15.6 million, and $22.2 million, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, the intrinsic values of stock options exercised were $1.8 million and 
$0.7  million,  respectively.  Holdings  did  not  have  any  stock  options  outstanding  or  exercisable  during  the  year  ended

The  CARES  Act,  which  was  enacted  on  March  27,  2020,  includes  changes  to  certain  tax  law  related  to  net  operating 
losses and the deductibility of interest expense and depreciation. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax 
rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. This legislation had 
the effect of increasing the Company’s deferred income taxes and decreasing its current income taxes payable by approximately 
$15.5  million  and  resulted  from  bonus  depreciation  on  certain  types  of  qualified  property  for  tax  years  beginning  January  1, 
2018, and the provision for an increase in the amounts allowed for interest expense deductions for tax years beginning January 
1, 2019. The legislation related to net operating losses did not impact the Company’s deferred tax balances. The CARES Act 
also  allowed  eligible  employers  to  defer  payment  on  their  share  of  payroll  taxes  otherwise  required  to  be  deposited  between 
March  27,  2020  and  December  31,  2020,  as  described  further  in  Note  22  –  CARES  Act.  This  legislation  had  the  effect  of 
decreasing  the  Company’s  deferred  income  taxes  and  increasing  its  current  income  taxes  payable  by  approximately 
$23.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

19.   Income Taxes (Continued)

As  of  December  31,  2019  and  2020,  the  Company’s  valuation  allowance  is  primarily  attributable  to  the  uncertainty 
regarding the realization of state net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets of loss entities. The state net deferred tax 
assets  have  a  full  valuation  allowance  recorded  for  entities  that  have  a  cumulative  history  of  pre-tax  losses  (current  year  in 
addition  to  the  two  prior  years).  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  the  Company  recorded  a  net  valuation  allowance 
increase of $0.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net valuation allowance decrease of 
$1.1  million.  These  changes  resulted  from  net  changes  in  state  net  operating  losses,  as  well  as  the  sale  of  a  business.  The 
changes in the Company’s valuation allowance were recognized as a result of management’s reassessment of the amount of its 
deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

At December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $128.5 million and $111.7 
million, respectively, consist of items which have been recognized for tax reporting purposes, but which will increase tax on 
returns to be filed in the future. The Company has performed an assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the 
realization  of  the  net  deferred  tax  assets.  This  assessment  included  a  review  of  legal  entities  with  three  years  of  cumulative 
losses, estimates of projected future taxable income, the effects on future taxable income resulting from the reversal of existing 
deferred tax liabilities in future periods, and the impact of tax planning strategies that management would and could implement 
in  order  to  keep  deferred  tax  assets  from  expiring  unused.  Although  realization  is  not  assured,  based  on  the  Company’s 
assessment, it has concluded that it is more likely than not that such assets, net of the determined valuation allowance, will be 
realized.

The total state net operating losses are approximately $642.6 million. State net operating loss carryforwards expire and are 

subject to valuation allowances as follows:

21.   Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Commitments

At  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  had  outstanding  commitments  under  construction  contracts  related  to  new 

construction, improvements, and renovations totaling approximately $13.2 million.

Litigation

The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory 
and  other  governmental  audits  and  investigations  in  the  ordinary  course  of  its  business.  The  Company  cannot  predict  the 
ultimate  outcome  of  pending  litigation,  proceedings,  and  regulatory  and  other  governmental  audits  and  investigations.  These 
matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. The Department 
of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies 
may conduct additional investigations related to the Company’s businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the 
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

To  address  claims  arising  out  of  the  Company’s  operations,  the  Company  maintains  professional  malpractice  liability 
insurance  and  general  liability  insurance  coverages  through  a  number  of  different  programs  that  are  dependent  upon  such 
factors as the state where the Company is operating and whether the operations are wholly owned or are operated through a 
joint  venture.  For  the  Company’s  wholly  owned  operations,  the  Company  currently  maintains  insurance  coverages  under  a 
combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $37.0 million for professional malpractice liability insurance 
and $40.0 million for general liability insurance. The Company’s insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a 
“claims-made”  basis,  and  its  commercial  general  liability  coverage  is  maintained  on  an  “occurrence”  basis.  These  coverages 
apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded. For the Company’s joint venture operations, the Company has designed a 
separate  insurance  program  that  responds  to  the  risks  of  specific  joint  ventures.  Most  of  the  Company’s  joint  ventures  are 
insured under a master program with an annual aggregate limit of up to $80.0 million, subject to a sublimit aggregate ranging 
from $23.0 million to $33.0 million for most joint ventures. The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis.  Each 
of these programs has either a deductible or self-insured retention limit. The Company reviews its insurance program annually 
and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. The Company also 
maintains  umbrella  liability  insurance  covering  claims  which,  due  to  their  nature  or  amount,  are  not  covered  by  or  not  fully 
covered by the Company’s other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and 
are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available 
insurance,  could  subject  the  Company  to  substantial  uninsured  liabilities.  In  the  Company’s  opinion,  the  outcome  of  these 
actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or 
cash flows.

Healthcare  providers  are  subject  to  lawsuits  under  the  qui  tam  provisions  of  the  federal  False  Claims  Act.  Qui  tam 
lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides 
whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These 
lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring 
the suits. The Company is and has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases 
from time to time in the future.

Wilmington Litigation.    On January 19, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware unsealed a qui 
tam  complaint  in  United  States  of  America  and  State  of  Delaware  ex  rel.  Theresa  Kelly  v.  Select  Specialty  Hospital-
Wilmington,  Inc.  (“SSH-Wilmington”),  Select  Specialty  Hospitals,  Inc.,  Select  Employment  Services,  Inc.,  Select  Medical 
Corporation, and Crystal Cheek, No. 16‑347‑LPS. The complaint was initially filed under seal in May 2016 by a former chief 
nursing officer at SSH-Wilmington and was unsealed after the United States filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention 
in January 2017. The corporate defendants were served in March 2017. In the complaint, the plaintiff-relator alleges that the 
Select defendants and an individual defendant, who is a former health information manager at SSH-Wilmington, violated the 
False  Claims  Act  and  the  Delaware  False  Claims  and  Reporting  Act  based  on  allegedly  falsifying  medical  practitioner 
signatures on medical records and failing to properly examine the credentials of medical practitioners at SSH-Wilmington. In 
response  to  the  Select  defendants’  motion  to  dismiss  the  complaint,  in  May  2017  the  plaintiff-relator  filed  an  amended 
complaint asserting the same causes of action. The Select defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint based on 
numerous grounds, including that the amended complaint did not plead any alleged fraud with sufficient particularity, failed to 
plead that the alleged fraud was material to the government’s payment decision, failed to plead sufficient facts to establish that 
the Select defendants knowingly submitted false claims or records, and failed to allege any reverse false claim.  In March 2018, 
the  District  Court  dismissed  the  plaintiff-relator’s  claims  related  to  the  alleged  failure  to  properly  examine  medical 
practitioners’  credentials,  her  reverse  false  claims  allegations,  and  her  claim  that  the  defendants  violated  the  Delaware  False 
Claims and Reporting Act.  It denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss claims that the allegedly falsified medical practitioner 
signatures violated the False Claims Act. Separately, the District Court dismissed the individual defendant due to the plaintiff-
relator’s failure to timely serve the amended complaint upon her.

In March 2017, the plaintiff-relator initiated a second action by filing a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of 
Delaware in Theresa Kelly v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Employment Services, Inc., and SSH-Wilmington, C.A. No. 
N17C-03-293  CLS.  The  Delaware  complaint  alleges  that  the  defendants  retaliated  against  her  in  violation  of  the  Delaware 
Whistleblowers’ Protection Act for reporting the same alleged violations that are the subject of the federal amended complaint. 
The  defendants  filed  a  motion  to  dismiss,  or  alternatively  to  stay,  the  Delaware  complaint  based  on  the  pending  federal 
amended complaint and the failure to allege facts to support a violation of the Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act.  In 
January 2018, the Court stayed the Delaware complaint pending the outcome of the federal case.

In  January  2021,  the  Company  entered  into  a  settlement  agreement  with  the  plaintiff-relator.  Under  the  terms  of  the 
settlement, the Company agreed to make payments to the government, the plaintiff-relator and her counsel. Such payments, in 
the aggregate, are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.  In the settlement agreement, the plaintiff-relator released 
all  defendants  from  liability  for  all  conduct  alleged  in  the  federal  and  state  court  complaints,  and  the  Company  admitted  no 
liability or wrongdoing.  In connection with the settlement, the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Delaware 
issued  a  letter  to  the  Company  stating  that  it  does  not  have  any  present  intention,  based  on  facts  now  known,  to  pursue  an 
investigation and/or to file suit under the False Claims Act against the Company with respect to any of the allegations made in 
the federal litigation.

Contract Therapy Subpoena.    On May 18, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for 
the District of New Jersey seeking various documents principally relating to the Company’s contract therapy division, which 
contracted to furnish rehabilitation therapy services to residents of skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and other providers. The 
Company operated its contract therapy division through a subsidiary until March 31, 2016, when the Company sold the stock of 
the subsidiary. The subpoena seeks documents that appear to be aimed at assessing whether therapy services were furnished and 
billed in compliance with Medicare SNF billing requirements, including whether therapy services were coded at inappropriate 
levels  and  whether  excessive  or  unnecessary  therapy  was  furnished  to  justify  coding  at  higher  paying  levels.  The  U.S. 
Attorney’s Office has indicated that the subpoena was issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit. The Company has produced 
documents  in  response  to  the  subpoena  and  intends  to  fully  cooperate  with  this  investigation.  At  this  time,  the  Company  is 
unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

Ann Arbor Complaint.    On May 12, 2020, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan unsealed 
qui tam complaints in United States of America and State of Michigan ex rel. Neal Elkin v. Select Medical Holdings Corp., 
Select Medical, and Select Specialty Hospital – Ann Arbor, Inc. (“SSH-Ann Arbor”), No. 12-cv-13984.  An initial complaint 
was filed under seal in September 2012 and a first amended complaint was filed under seal in September 2019. Both complaints 
were unsealed after the United States and State of Michigan filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in May 2020.  In 
the first amended complaint, the plaintiff-relator, a physician formerly practicing at SSH-Ann Arbor, alleges that the defendants 
had a policy to keep respiratory patients on ventilators longer than medically necessary in order to increase reimbursement, and 
that,  after  he  complained  of  this  practice,  SSH-Ann  Arbor  retaliated  by  refusing  to  assign  new  patients  to  him.  The  first 
amended complaint was never served on the defendants. On January 15, 2021, the District Court, at the request of the plaintiff-
relator and with the consent of the United States and the State of Michigan, dismissed the action without prejudice.

Oklahoma  City  Subpoena.      On  August  24,  2020,  the  Company  and  Select  Specialty  Hospital  –  Oklahoma  City,  Inc. 
(“SSH–Oklahoma  City”)  received  Civil  Investigative  Demands  from  the  U.S.  Attorney’s  Office  for  the  Western  District  of 
Oklahoma  seeking  responses  to  interrogatories  and  the  production  of  various  documents  principally  relating  to  the 
documentation, billing and reviews of medical services furnished to patients at SSH-Oklahoma City. The Company does not 
know whether the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit or in connection with possible civil, criminal 
or  administrative  proceedings  by  the  government.  The  Company  is  producing  documents  in  response  to  the  subpoena  and 
intends to fully cooperate with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this 
matter. 

Medicare Dual-Eligible Litigation

The Company’s critical illness recovery hospitals have pursued claims against CMS involving denied Medicare bad debt 
reimbursement  for  copayments  and  deductibles  of  dual-eligible  Medicaid  beneficiaries.  One  group  of  claims  affects  75 
hospitals  in  26  states  for  cost  reporting  periods  ending  in  2005  through  2010.  After  appeals  taken  by  the  Company,  a  U.S. 
District Court, in August 2019, ruled in favor of the Company and ordered CMS to determine and pay the Medicare bad debt 
reimbursement plus interest. The Company and CMS agreed on the amounts of bad debts incurred, but CMS took the position 
that these amounts need to be reduced by what the state Medicaid programs would have paid. In December 2020, the Company 
filed  a  motion  with  the  U.S.  District  Court  to  enforce  the  judgment  and  order  CMS  to  pay  the  bad  debt  amounts  without  a 
Medicaid  reduction.  In  January  2021,  the  Company  received  correspondence  from  CMS  indicating  that  it  was  proceeding  to 
effectuate  the  judgment  based  on  its  own  computation  of  the  Medicare  bad  debt  reimbursement.  In  February  2021,  the 
Company  received  reimbursement  proceeds  of  $17.9  million  plus  accrued  interest  of  $4.7  million.  These  amounts  will  be 
recognized as income during 2021. The Company believes that CMS owes it an additional $2.3 million; the Company’s motion 
with the U.S. District Court is still pending with regards to this disputed amount. 

22.   CARES Act

Provider Relief Funds

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES 
Act provided additional waivers, reimbursement, grants and other funds to assist health care providers during the COVID-19 
pandemic, including $100.0 billion in appropriations for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred 
to  as  the  Provider  Relief  Fund,  to  be  used  for  preventing,  preparing,  and  responding  to  COVID-19,  and  for  reimbursing 
“eligible  health  care  providers  for  health  care  related  expenses  or  lost  revenues  that  are  attributable  to  coronavirus.”  These 
health  care  related  expenses  could  include  costs  associated  with  constructing  temporary  structures  or  emergency  operation 
centers, retrofitting facilities, purchasing medical supplies and equipment including personal protective equipment and testing 
supplies,  and  increasing  workforce  and  trainings.  The  Company  is  able  to  use  payments  received  under  the  Provider  Relief 
Fund through June 30, 2021.

22.   CARES Act (Continued)

On December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CRRSA Act”) 
was  signed  into  law.  The  CRRSA  Act  legislated  certain  provisions  and  reporting  requirements  associated  with  the  payments 
received under the Provider Relief Fund, including provisions surrounding how an entity should calculate lost revenues and a 
provision specifying that a parent organization may allocate all or a portion of the General and Targeted Distributions it has 
received among its other subsidiaries. As discussed above, the payments received under the Provider Relief Fund are to be used 
for  health  care  related  expenses  and  lost  revenues  attributable  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  These  amounts,  which  are  to  be 
calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), 
must be determined for each of the Company’s subsidiaries by taxpayer identification number. Further, the payments are to be 
applied first against health care related expenses and then applied to lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On  January  15,  2021,  HHS  released  an  updated  post-payment  notice  of  reporting  requirements  which  incorporates  the 
provisions of the CRRSA Act. HHS continues to release updated guidance and new or modified responses to Frequently Asked 
Questions  regarding  the  Provider  Relief  Fund  payments.  The  Company  believes  that  any  changes  made  to  the  terms  and 
conditions from those contained in the CRRSA Act are a change to, rather than clarification of, the terms and conditions which 
existed as of December 31, 2020. Further, the Company believes that the terms and conditions surrounding the Provider Relief 
Fund payments are subject to additional changes given the series of post-payment notices of reporting requirements and other 
guidance issued by HHS during the year ended December 31, 2020, which, in some instances, significantly altered the terms 
and conditions surrounding the Provider Relief Fund payments. 

The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries received approximately $172.6 million of payments under the Provider Relief 
Fund as of December 31, 2020. Since December 31, 2020, the Company has received an additional $34.6 million of General 
Distributions. Under the Company’s accounting policy, payments are recognized on the books and records of the Company’s 
subsidiaries as other operating income when it is probable that it has complied with the terms and conditions of the funds. The 
Company evaluated its compliance with the terms and conditions set forth within the CRRSA Act and by HHS as of December 
31, 2020, and recognized approximately $90.0 million as other operating income on the accompanying consolidated statement 
of operations.

The  remaining  Provider  Relief  Fund  payments  of  approximately  $82.6  million  at  December  31,  2020  are  reported  as 
“unearned  government  assistance”  on  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet.  Of  this  amount,  approximately 
$54.5 million relates to payments received where uncertainties exist related to the Company’s ability to recognize the payments 
as other operating income. Such funds may need to be repaid to the government to the extent that they cannot be utilized in 
accordance with the regulations promulgated by HHS. The remaining amounts are anticipated to be recognized through June 
30, 2021 as healthcare expenses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic are incurred. 

Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payments Program

In accordance with the CARES Act, CMS temporarily expanded its current Accelerated and Advance Payment Program 
for  Medicare  providers.  Under  this  program,  qualified  healthcare  providers  could  receive  advanced  or  accelerated  payments 
from CMS. The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries received approximately $321.8 million of advanced payments under this 
program. The majority of these payments were received in April 2020. 

On October 1, 2020, a short-term government funding bill was signed into law. This bill, among other things, extended 
the  repayment  terms  for  providers  who  received  advanced  payments  under  the  Medicare  Accelerated  and  Advance  Payment 
Program. The bill modified the terms of repayment so that a provider can request no recoupment for one year after the advanced 
payment  was  issued,  followed  by  a  25.0%  recoupment  of  Medicare  payments  during  the  next  11  months,  and  50.0% 
recoupment  of  Medicare  payments  during  the  last  six  months.  Any  amounts  that  remain  unpaid  after  29  months  would  be 
subject to a 4.0% interest rate. 

Due to the mechanism in which the advanced payments are repaid, there is uncertainty surrounding when the Company 
will  repay  the  advances  it  received  under  this  program.  Accordingly,  amounts  received  under  the  Accelerated  and  Advance
