## ASC 810-954: Consolidation — Health Care Entities

### Machine-generated study aids

{
  "summary": "This Subtopic routes health care entities to the right consolidation model depending on whether the reporting entity is investor-owned or a not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entity. Investor-owned providers apply the VIE Subsections first, then the General Subsections and the Consolidation of Entities Controlled by Contract Subsections of 810-10; NFP health care entities are exempt from the VIE model (unless used to circumvent it) and instead apply 810-10 General/controlled-by-contract guidance for for-profit investees and Subtopic 958-810 for relationships with other NFPs. It also treats sole corporate membership in an NFP as a controlling financial interest and requires malpractice trust funds to be included in the entity's financial statements.",
  "key_points": [
    "An investor-owned health care entity must first test whether an entity it holds an interest in is a VIE under 810-10-15-14 and apply the VIE Subsections; if not a VIE, it applies only the General Subsections of 810-10 to assess a controlling financial interest (810-954-15-2(a)-(b)).",
    "Contractual management relationships (for example, with a physician practice) are evaluated under the Consolidation of Entities Controlled by Contract Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 (810-954-15-2(c), 810-954-15-3(c), 810-954-60-1).",
    "Not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entities are not subject to the VIE Subsections unless the NFP is used by a business entity in a manner similar to a VIE to circumvent those provisions, though the NFP may be a related party under 810-10-25-42 through 25-44 (810-954-15-3(a); 810-954-45-2).",
    "An NFP health care entity's relationships with other NFPs involving control, an economic interest, or both are evaluated under Subtopic 958-810; general or limited partner interests in for-profit limited partnerships (or functionally equivalent LLCs) follow 958-810-25-11 through 25-29 (810-954-15-3(dd), (f)).",
    "Sole corporate membership in a not-for-profit entity, like ownership of a majority voting interest in a for-profit entity, is a controlling financial interest unless control does not rest with the sole corporate member (e.g., bankruptcy or severe legal or contractual limitations) (810-954-45-3A); supermajority board voting requirements may overcome the presumption of control (810-954-45-2).",
    "A noncontrolling interest is provided only if represented by an economic interest that shares in operating results or the residual interest upon dissolution (810-954-45-3B), and an entity required to be consolidated cannot instead be reported at fair value under 958-325-35-6 (810-954-45-3C).",
    "A malpractice trust fund, whether legally revocable or irrevocable, generally is included in the health care entity's financial statements—split between current and noncurrent assets, with its revenues and administrative expenses in the statement of operations—and its existence and revocability must be disclosed (810-954-45-4; 810-954-50-1)."

Also remember a noncontrolling interest is presented only when the holder actually shares in operating results or residual net assets.",

An integrated health care system typically consists of multiple related entities, operating both for-profit entities and not-for-profit entities (NFPs). A not-for-profit parent entity may be the sole corporate member or, through other means, it may control other entities such as a not-for-profit hospital, a not-for-profit medical foundation that contracts with a for-profit physician group, or other not-for-profit providers such as a long-term care center, a substance abuse center, a surgery center, or an outpatient clinic. The system also may own stock in various for-profit ventures such as [health maintenance organizations](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/h/#health-maintenance-organization "A generic group of medical care entities organized to provide defined health care services to members in return for fixed, periodic premiums (usually paid monthly) that are paid in advance.") or insurance entities that may or may not provide patient care. Fundraising typically is accomplished through a separate foundation. Foundations, auxiliaries, guilds, and similar entities frequently assist and, in many instances, are related to the health care entity.

The rights and powers of the controlling entity may vary depending on the legal structure of the controlled entity and the nature of [control](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#control "The direct or indirect ability to determine the direction of management and policies through ownership, contract, or otherwise."). The majority owner of a for-profit entity's voting stock or the sole corporate member of an NFP may not only have the ability to determine the direction of the controlled entity but also have the proportionate right to (or the responsibility for) operating results and a residual interest in the net assets upon dissolution. However, in other situations, the rights of the controlling party may be more limited. For example, in the case of a sole general partner in a limited partnership, the limited partners—and not the general partner—may be entitled to the net assets upon dissolution.

If the reporting entity is an investor-owned health care entity, this Subtopic provides consolidation guidance for reporting relationships with other entities in addition to the guidance in the following locations:

1.  a
    
    Pursuant to paragraph [810-10-15-3(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-3), if an investor-owned health care entity has an interest in an entity, it must determine whether that entity is within the scope of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 pursuant to paragraph [810-10-15-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-14). If that entity is within the scope of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections, the investor-owned health care entity shall first apply the guidance in those Subsections. Paragraph [810-10-15-17](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-17) provides specific exceptions to applying the Variable Interest Entities Subsections.
    
2.  b
    
    Pursuant to paragraph [810-10-15-3(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-3), if the investor-owned health care entity has an interest in an entity that is not within the scope of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 and is not within the scope of the Subsections mentioned in paragraph [810-10-15-3(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-3), it shall use only the guidance in the General Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 to determine whether that interest constitutes a controlling financial interest.
    
3.  c
    
    Pursuant to paragraph [810-10-15-3(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-3), if the investor-owned health care entity has a contractual management relationship with another entity (for example, a physician practice) and that other entity is not within the scope of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, it shall use the guidance in the Consolidation of Entities Controlled by Contract Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 to determine whether the arrangement constitutes a controlling financial interest.
    
4.  d
    
    [Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/asu-2015-02/).
    
5.  e
    
    Pursuant to Section 810-30-15, if the investor-owned health care entity is a sponsor in a research and development arrangement, it shall apply the guidance in Subtopic 810-30.

If the reporting entity is a not-for-profit business-oriented health care entity, this Subtopic provides consolidation guidance for reporting relationships with other entities in addition to the guidance in the following locations:

1.  a
    
    Pursuant to paragraph [810-10-15-17](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-17), not-for-profit business-oriented health care entities are not subject to the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 unless the not-for-profit entity is used by a business entity in a manner similar to a VIE in an effort to circumvent the provisions of those Subsections.
    
2.  b

3.  c
    
    If the not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entity has a contractual management relationship with another entity (for example, a physician practice), it shall use the guidance in the Consolidation of Entities Controlled by Contract Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 to determine whether the arrangement constitutes a controlling financial interest.
    
4.  d
    
    [Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/asu-2015-02/).

Paragraph [958-810-25-2A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/958/#810-958-25-2A) explains that, in some situations, certain actions require approval by a supermajority vote of the board. That paragraph states that such voting requirements might overcome the presumption of control by the owner or holder of a majority voting interest. (For related implementation guidance, see paragraph [958-810-55-4A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/958/#810-958-55-4A).) Pursuant to paragraph [810-10-15-17(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-15-17) a not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entity is not subject to the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, except that it may be a related party for purposes of applying paragraphs

[810-10-25-42 through 25-44](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-25-42)

. Also, if a not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entity is used by business entities in a manner similar to a variable interest entity (VIE) in an effort to circumvent the provisions of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10, that not-for-profit entity shall be subject to the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of that Subtopic.

A parent corporation typically owns stock in a for-profit entity, whereas a sole corporate member holds membership rights in a not-for-profit entity. Sole corporate membership in a not-for-profit entity, like ownership of a majority voting interest in a for-profit entity, shall be considered a controlling financial interest, unless control does not rest with the sole corporate member (for instance, if the other \[membership\] entity is in bankruptcy or if other legal or contractual limitations are so severe that control does not rest with the sole corporate member).

In general, a trust fund, whether legally revocable or irrevocable, shall be included in the financial statements of the health care entity. A portion of the fund equal to the amount of assets expected to be liquidated to pay malpractice claims classified as current liabilities shall be classified as a current asset; the balance of the fund, if any, shall be classified as a noncurrent asset. Revenues and administrative expenses of the trust fund are included in the statement of operations. In some circumstances, the foregoing may not be possible (for example, if a common trust fund exists for a group of health care entities; if the health care entity is part of a common municipality risk-financing internal service fund; or if the legal, regulatory, or indenture restrictions prevent the inclusion of a trust fund in a health care entity's financial statements).
