ASU 2014-09

Revenue RecognitionBackground and Overview

Page 9: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

9

ASU 2014-09: Revenue Recognition

Objective: single, principle-based revenue standard

• Improve accounting for contracts with customers

• More robust framework for recognizing revenue

• Increased comparability across industries and capital markets

• Better disclosures

Substantially converged with IFRS on major provisions

Page 10: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

10

ASU 2014-09: Summary

• FASB created a new Topic 606 that will replace Topic 605 when

this standard is adopted

– ASU 2014-09 will supersede most industry-specific guidance

• Core principle is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of

promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects

the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in

exchange for those goods or services

• Guidance specifies the accounting for an individual contract with a

customer; however, as a practical expedient, an entity may apply

guidance to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations)

with similar characteristics if the entity reasonably expects that the

effects on the financial statements would not differ materially from

applying guidance to individual contracts

Page 11: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

11

Scope

• All contracts with customers, except– Lease contracts– Insurance contracts– Financial instruments– Guarantees– Non-monetary exchanges between entities in the

same line of business to facilitate sales to customers

• Also excluded: contributions, collaborative arrangements

• Sales/Transfers of nonfinancial assets outside of the entity’s ordinary activities (Subtopic 610-20)– Recognition and measurement guidance

Page 12: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

12

Five steps to apply standardRecognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or

services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled

Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Determine the transaction price

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

in the contractRecognize revenue when (or

as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Effective Date

Public business entities and certain not-for-profit entities including conduit bond obligors

• Fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 (no early adoption)

All other entities

• Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (can adopt at same time as public business entities)

ASU 2014-09: Implementation

• FASB: Joint Transition Resource Group– To identify and discuss broader issues, including those that may

warrant follow-up standard-setting activity by the FASB– Similar to what we’ve done in the past following issuance of FAS

157 (Valuation Resource Group) and certain other broad standards

• AICPA: Various Industry-focused Groups– Includes one for Healthcare and one for NFPs– Work to culminate in the issuance of a Revenue Recognition

Guide

Significant effort likely to be expended as the U.S. moves from the current industry-specific guidance to this new, broader, principles-based approach

Page 16: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

16

AICPA Revenue Recognition Task Forces

• Develop a new Accounting Guide on Revenue Recognition

• Guide to provide helpful hints and Illustrative examples on how to apply the standard

• Guidance will not be prescriptive but instead intended to be a resource

• Full implementation issues will be posted for comment after review from the overall Revenue Recognition Working Group and FinREC

• List of issues by industry is posted on the AICPA website– www.aicpa.org

Page 17: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

17

ASU 2014-09

• 606-10-32-2-An entity shall consider the terms of the contract and its customary business practices in determining the transaction price

• 606-10-32-7 Indicates that the entity should consider its intention to offer price concessions to the customer, which would be applicable to uninsured patients in a provider setting

Page 18: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

18

Revenue Recognition Project: Provider Specific Considerations

• Revenue transactions involving multiple contractual relationships– Many different parties may be associated with a revenue

transaction involving a hospital– The “customer” is the patient

• Third-party payor makes payment on the patient’s behalf; it is not a separate “contract with a customer”

• Many implementation issues will likely arise. Two issues identified as having potential significant impact on providers are:– Accounting for uninsured patients – Estimating variable consideration from governmental

payors

Page 19: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

19

Revenue Recognition Project: Provider Specific Considerations

Issue #1: How are services performed from uninsured patients accounted for? See sections 606-10-55-102 through 105

– Provider evaluates the patient’s intent and ability to pay

– Estimate of variable consideration based on collection history of patients in the customer class (i.e. discounts and price concessions)

– The amount estimated to be uncollectible from uninsured patients is considered a price concession

• Gross charges of $10,000 but only expect to receive $1,000 recognize $1,000 of revenue assuming other criteria under 606-10-25-1 are met

Page 20: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

20

Financial Reporting - Presentation of Bad Debts

Under current practice, ASU 2011-07 requires some healthcare providers to present bad debt as a deduction from patient service revenue

Under the new standard, bad debts will be presented as an operating expense

Page 21: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

21

Revenue Recognition Project: Provider Specific Considerations

Issue #2: How should providers estimate variable consideration from arrangements from governmental payors?• Determination of the transaction price for

third-party settlements– Medicare/Medicaid cost report settlements– RAC accruals– Risk adjustments for Prepaid Health plans

Page 22: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

22

Revenue Recognition Project: Provider Specific Considerations

Issue #2 (cont’d):• How does the use of expected

amount/most likely amount (606-10-32-8) differ from today’s “best estimate”?– Use method which entity expects to better

predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled

• Use of Expected Value (probability-weighted amount)

• Use of Most Likely Amount (single most likely amount in a range of possible considerations)

Page 23: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

23

Other Healthcare Issues identified

• Identifying the performance obligation and recognition of refundable and non-refundable entrance fees for CCRC’s

• Prepaid Health Services• Accountable Care Organizations• Contract acquisition costs

Financial Performance: Operating Measure

Defined a required intermediate operating measure for all NFPs—based on two dimensions:

Mission (Business & Charitable Activity):based on whether resources are from or directed at carrying out an NFP’s purpose for existence (vs. investing and financing)

Availability: based on whether resources are available for current period activities and reflecting limits of both:-external donor-imposed limitations and -internal actions of an NFP’s governing board

Presentation of Transfers, to depict internal actions:• Separate section within operating measure, after revenue and expense subtotal• Includes gifts of/ for capital items when placed in service

NFP Financial Statements: Next Steps

• Exposure Draft (ED)—proposed ASU exposed for comments (estimated: Q1 2015)– Board to have final cost-benefit

discussion prior to issuance

• Comment period (Q1-Q2 2015): more outreach, field visits/ workshops, roundtables, etc.

• Begin redeliberations in Q3 2015

Business Associates

HIPAA / HITECH

Page 42: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

42

Background-HIPAA

• Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA)– Governs the access, use, and disclosure of

protected health information by covered entities

• Covered entity:– health plan, – health care clearinghouse, – or a health care provider who transmits any

health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction covered by HIPAA

Page 43: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

43

Background-HIPAA

• Protected Health Information (“PHI”): Individually identifiable health information that is transmitted or maintained in any form or medium.– Individually Identifiable Health Information:

Information, including demographic information, created or received by a health care provider, health plan, employer, or health care clearinghouse that can be used to identify an individual and that relates to the person’s health care.

Page 44: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

44

Background-HITECH

• Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), – Enacted as part of the American Recovery and

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“Stimulus Bill”), P.L. 111-5

• Amends HIPAA to impose significant new duties on covered entities and business associates to notify patients, the Federal Government, and the media of breaches of unsecured PHI

• Requires breach investigation and notification• Increased penalties and sanctions

Page 45: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

45

Business Associate

• Business Associate: third-party (not an employee of the covered entity) that performs or assists in performing a function or activity involving the use or disclosure of PHI– Vendors– Service providers (billing, tech support)– Accounting firms, law firms

Page 46: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

46

Business Associate Agreements

• Health plans and providers are required to enter into business associate agreements (“BAAs”) with business associates

• BAAs impose on the business associate similar obligations to those on the health plan or provider

• Either party to a BAA must take action if aware that the other party has violated confidentiality

• Business associates now have affirmative duty to notify covered entities of breaches of unsecured PHI and to take steps to prevent and mitigate breaches.

• Business associates can be directly liable for breaches and are subject to the same penalties as covered entities.

Rp-2014

New Mortality Tables Released

Page 48: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

48

New RP-2014 Mortality Tables Released

• The Society of Actuaries released new RP-2014 mortality tables in October 2014.

• These new mortality tables should be used in estimating pension and other obligations with measurement dates of October 2014 and forward.

• Tables reflect an increase in life expectancy so obligations are expected to increase.

• Management should discuss the new mortality tables with plan actuaries that they plan to rely on as specialists.

Common Practice Issues

49

RAC Audits

Page 50: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

50

Common Practice Issues: RAC Audits

• Question: Is it appropriate for an HCO to record a revenue reserve at the date the services are rendered for Medicare revenue that it believes CMS will “take back” as a result of future adjustments and/or findings?

• HCOs should make a reasonable estimate of the amounts it expects to receive from third-party payers and such estimates shall be recorded in the period that the related services are rendered – ASC 954-605-25-6 states “Estimates of contractual

adjustments, other adjustments, and the allowance for uncollectibles shall be reported in the period during which the services are provided even though the actual amounts may become known at a later date.

Page 51: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

51

Common Practice Issues: RAC Audits

• There is significant diversity in practice on how healthcare entities are estimating and recording recoveries for claims under appeal.

• When an entity receives notification from CMS of the payment reduction it indicates that the revenue criteria may not been met…so the company must evaluate whether this is – a change in estimate, or– a correction of a prior period error.

Page 52: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

52

Common Practice Issues: RAC Audits

• If this is considered to be a change in estimate then – an accrual for RAC adjustment should be

recorded– this is generally a contra revenue adjustment

along with the set up of a corresponding liability

• There is a diversity of practice on when to record a receivable for recoveries on appealed claims.

• There are two alternate views on this topic…

Page 53: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

53

Common Practice Issues: RAC Audits

• View 1: – This view is based on ASC 450-30,

Contingencies.– Since it is not certain that the provider’s

appeal will be successful, no receivable or related gain should be recorded until the appeals process is complete.

Page 54: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

54

Common Practice Issues: RAC Audits

• View 2: – This view is based on SOP 00-1,“Auditing Health

Care Third-Party Revenues and Related Receivables,” which states that “The fact that information related to the effects of future program audits, administrative reviews, regulatory investigations, or other actions does not exist does not lead to a conclusion that the evidence supporting management's assertions is not sufficient to support management's estimates”.

– Under this view, estimating recoveries for the successful appeal of denied RAC claims would be appropriate.

Page 55: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

55

Common Practice Issues: RAC Audits

– However, this estimate should be based on provider specific facts and circumstances and the success rate of the organization during prior appeals process related to similar claims.

– While industry data can (i.e. AHA, RACTRAC) be used to corroborate company estimates, many believe that can’t be the sole support for recording claims recoveries.

– Some firm’s have taken the position that View 1 is the only acceptable response in absence of provider specific data as described above so need to discuss with your auditor early in the estimation process.

Page 56: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

Program Integrity Audits (Cont’d)

• Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs)• Recent CMS 68% Settlement Offer

– All outstanding appeals of denied short-term IP stays– Hospitals had 14 days to submit final list of claims and

signed Administrative Agreement after accepting– Deadline to accept was 10/31/14

Accounting for Costs Incurred During Implementation of ICD-10

• Effective Date– ICD-10 implementation deadline of 10/1/14 10/1/15

• Impact– Costs incurred are either capitalized or expensed:

• Business process re-engineering - Expense as incurred• Education and training of coders, clinicians, and

business office personnel - Expense as incurred• Project consultants - Capitalize/expense as appropriate

– Allocate contract price to project components based on relative fair values, then treat accordingly

• Modification and replacement of billing and medical records information systems - Capitalize/expense as appropriate

Page 60: 1 Winter Education Conference January 15, 2015 west virginia chapter Accounting and Auditing Update.

60

Accounting for Costs Incurred During Implementation of ICD-10

• Impact– Modification and replacement of billing and

medical records information systems:• Property and equipment – Capitalize based on

capitalization policy– Allocate maintenance/service costs and report separate from

fixed assets

• Software development and modification – Only upgrades and enhancements that result in additional

functionality can be capitalized» Preliminary project stage – Expense as incurred» Application development stage - Capitalize/expense using

internal-use software guidance» Post implementation-operation stage – Expense as

incurred
