Our ability to negotiate favorable payment rates and other terms for our services impacts our revenue and results of operations. We actively engage with payors to negotiate such terms and, from time to time, we have had and may continue to have disagreements with payors regarding the interpretation or application of contractual terms, including with respect to claims for payment, which could result in reimbursement for certain of our services at rates lower than those we believe are required under our existing contractual arrangements or delays in payment.

Our business strategy is to become the indispensable behavioral healthcare provider for the high-acuity and complex needs patient population. We are committed to providing the communities we serve with quality, cost-effective behavioral healthcare services, while growing our business, increasing profitability and creating long-term value for our stockholders.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we added 322 beds, consisting of 42 beds added to existing facilities and 280 beds added through the opening of one wholly-owned facility and three joint venture facilities.

Previous wording
On July 4, 2025, Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), its budget reconciliation act for fiscal year 2025. The OBBBA includes provisions that may impact our financial performance and may substantially modify certain state and federal statutes and regulations to which our operations are subject. The OBBBA provisions that may impact us have varying effective dates. We are unable to predict whether or how future legislation, rulemaking, or judicial action will impact implementation of the OBBBA. Of particular relevance to us, the OBBBA reduces the federal government’s overall Medicaid expenditures and tightens Medicaid eligibility requirements. The law limits eligibility for Medicaid by imposing work or community engagement requirements for adults under 65 years old in Medicaid expansion states, including states with waiver-based expansions, subject to limited exceptions, and requires eligibility redeterminations at least every six months for the Medicaid expansion state population. The potential for mid-year loss of coverage increases financial uncertainty and may disrupt ongoing treatment services, complicate eligibility and coverage verification, prior authorization processes, and exposure to uncompensated care or bad debt on patient accounts. State compliance is required by December 31, 2026. We do not expect a material impact on our operations as these requirements begin to be phased in during 2026, primarily due to exemptions for the populations we serve, including individuals with chronic substance use disorders and those with serious and complex medical conditions.

The potential for mid-year loss of coverage increases financial uncertainty and may disrupt ongoing treatment services, complicate eligibility and coverage verification, prior authorization processes, and exposure to uncompensated care or bad debt on patient accounts. States are required to implement the work and community engagement requirements no later than December 31, 2026, although states may implement such requirements earlier and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) may grant certain states good faith exemptions through December 31, 2028. We do not expect a material impact on our operations as these requirements are phased in, primarily due to exemptions for the populations we serve, including individuals who are medically frail, such as individuals with a substance use disorder or a disabling mental disorder, and individuals with serious or complex medical conditions. However, the scope and application of these exemptions will depend on federal implementing guidance and state implementation, and we may not realize their anticipated benefit.
Previous wording
In addition, the OBBBA includes significant changes to Medicaid funding mechanisms by restricting federal matching funds received by state Medicaid programs. The law prohibits states from establishing new provider assessments or taxes, or increasing the rates of existing provider assessments, for state fiscal years beginning after October 1, 2026, while also limiting the structure and application of such assessments. Pursuant to the OBBBA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services revised regulations governing state directed payment program arrangements to cap total payment rates paid by Medicaid managed care organizations for certain services at Medicare payment rates instead of average commercial rates and imposed lower caps in Medicaid expansion states, which impacts Medicaid payment rates for services rendered in our hospital facilities. The revised regulations apply to state directed payment programs established on or after July 4, 2025 unless the program meets certain grandfathering criteria. The OBBBA provides that payments under grandfathered programs will be reduced beginning January 1, 2028.
Current wording
In addition, the OBBBA includes significant changes to Medicaid funding mechanisms by restricting federal matching funds received by state Medicaid programs. Effective upon enactment, the law prohibits states from establishing new provider assessments or taxes, or increasing the rates of existing provider assessments, and, beginning in fiscal year 2028, progressively reduces the permissible provider tax threshold in Medicaid expansion states, while also limiting the structure and application of such assessments. The OBBBA also directs HHS to revise regulations governing state directed payment program arrangements to cap total payment rates paid by Medicaid managed care organizations for certain services at 100% of Medicare payment rates in Medicaid expansion states and 110% of Medicare payment rates in non-Medicaid expansion states, instead of average commercial rates, which impacts Medicaid payment rates for services rendered in our hospital facilities. These limits apply to state directed payment programs established on or after the date of enactment unless the program meets certain grandfathering criteria. The OBBBA provides that payments under grandfathered programs will be reduced by ten percentage points per year beginning with rating periods on or after January 1, 2028, until they reach the applicable cap.
