Health Care Reform Framework. HCA noted that the framework for its ACA
analysis is still evolving, but highlighted 4 key variables that drove their
estimated 2014 net benefit from health care reform of I%-2% of adjusted
EBITDA:
(1) Health Insurance Exchange (HIX) enrollment and Medicaid lives.
Management indicated that its model builds from the latest reported
base of HIX enrollees (-3M as indicated by CMS on Jan 24th). It also
takes into consideration RCA's exposure to states expanding Medicaid
in 2014 (CA, CO, KY, and NV).
(2) The portion of HIX and Medicaid enrollees that was previously
uninsured vs. Insured;
(3) HCA's HIX network participation, network design, and plan
selection. HCA disclosed that 97% of its facilities participate in an HIX
product, with 64% of its facilities having access to the lowest priced
Bronze plan and 54% having access to the lowest priced Silver plan;
and
(4) out-of-network treatment and reimbursement levels; HCA assumes
it will not capture a portion of the population gaining coverage as a
result of business getting directed away from its network
HCA said it would re-visit its key assumptions by mid-year at the earliest, but
its high-level base case is for 7-9% reduction in uninsured, partially offset by
declines in pricing/volume from exchange mix. Our sense is that the offsets
built into HCA's model could prove conservative given the strength of its
networks (i.e. less impact from narrow network if its access points such as ED
are more convenient). Given the slow ramp of exchange enrollment in key
markets (FL / TX) and HCA's lower exposure to Medicaid expansion states, we
believe 7-9% reduction of uninsured patient mix seems like a reasonable
starting point
New estimates. We are making modest adjustments to our estimates to reflect
lower HITECH and slower ACA ramp. 2014 EBITDA and EPS move to $7.058 /
$3.92 from $7.1458 / $4.17, putting us above HCA guidance ranges ($6.608-
$6.85B EBITDA / $3.45-$3.75 EPS ) due to underlying growth and ACA. Our
model now reflects higher S/O (+1% higher), slightly lower HITECH benefit
