Previous wording
Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payors and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payor (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations, changes in business and economic conditions, and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract re-negotiations and renewals.

Goodwill at June 30, 2024 totaled $709.0 million. Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets at June 30, 2024 were $20.2 million and are associated with the value of certain trade name intangibles and in process research and development ("IPR&D"). Goodwill, trade name intangibles and IPR&D are recorded as a result of business combinations.

We determined fair values for each of the reporting units using the market approach, when available and appropriate, or the income approach, or a combination of both. We assess the valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time we perform the valuation.

Current wording
We recorded income tax expense of $4.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 16.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $7.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 24.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 diverge from the federal statutory rate due to (i) effects of state income taxes ; (ii) officer's compensation limitations; (iii) partial valuation allowance on losses in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by (iv) excess tax benefits attributable to share based compensation; and (v) noncontrolling interests from controlled partnerships.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $18.1 million versus $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $5.2 million. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the formation of a new majority owned subsidiary, Los Angeles Imaging Group, LLC in September 2023 and Tri Valley Imaging Group, LLC in March 2024. We contributed the operations of three centers to Los Angeles Group, LLC and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center contributed cash. Additionally, patient volumes for advanced modalities improved in 2024 and we closed two nonperforming centers in a majority owned subsidiary, Beach Imaging Group, LLC in December 2023.

Current wording
The breakdown of revenue and expenses of the segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
Previous wording
Revenues for the Digital Health segment increased as a result of core growth in our eRad PICS business, the rollout in 2023 of our Deephealth OS, and continued rollout of our Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection solutions across additional facilities. The increase in operating expenses was primarily related to salary expense as we increased headcount in connection with the commercialization of our initial AI products and higher non-capitalized research and development expenses with respect to our new DeepHealth cloud OS and generative AI. Our net loss for the segment was consistent with the prior year. We expect that our Digital Health segment will continue to generate net losses over the next several years.
