Highlight of Business Operations:
Approximately 70% of our net patient revenues are derived from Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs. Amounts earned under these programs are subject to review by the Medicare and Medicaid intermediaries or their agents. In our opinion, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from these reviews. Any differences between our original estimates of reimbursements and subsequent revisions are reflected in operations in the period in which the revisions are made often due to final determination or the period of payment no longer being subject to audit or review. We have made provisions of approximately $16,991,000 and $16,807,000 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, for various Medicare and Medicaid current and prior year cost reports and claims reviews.Proceeds from the sale of investments in marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $23,394,000 and $13,570,000, respectively.
