Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced in July, 2019, Universal Health Services, Inc. (“we”, the “Company”) had reached an agreement in principle with the Department of Justice’s Civil Division, and various states’ attorneys general offices, to resolve the civil aspects of the government’s investigation of our behavioral health care facilities for $127 million subject to requisite approvals and preparation and execution of definitive settlement and related agreements.

On July 6, 2020, pursuant to terms and amounts consistent with the previously announced agreement in principle, definitive settlement agreements (“Settlement Agreements”) were fully executed thereby resolving this matter.    

The Company denies the allegations raised in this matter and the settlement does not constitute an admission of facts or liability by the Company or any of its subsidiary behavioral health facilities.

Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreements, on July 9, 2020, we made net aggregate payments of approximately $117.3 million, before accrued interest and related fees, costs and individual claims due to or on behalf of third-parties, consisting of the following:

 

$88.1 million pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Office of Inspector General for the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG”);

 

$28.9 million to various individual states that participated in the settlement;

 

$10.0 million in connection with the settlement of the U.S. ex rel Escobar v. Universal Health Services, Inc. et.al. and U.S. et. al. ex rel Correa et. al. v. Universal Health Services, Inc. et. al. matters, False Claims Act cases filed against Universal Health Services, Inc., UHS of Delaware, Inc. and HRI Clinics, Inc. d/b/a Arbour Counseling Services in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts;

 

less approximately $9.7 million of  aggregate funds previously withheld from us in connection with the previously disclosed River Point Behavioral Health payment suspension and a suspension of payments to the Lawrence campus of Arbour Counseling Services associated with the Escobar matter. These previously withheld amounts are credited against the amounts due from us under the Settlement Agreements.  As a condition of the settlement, the payment suspension at River Point will be lifted. The Lawrence campus of Arbour Counseling was previously closed by us.

In addition, we have also reached agreement in principle resolving all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs of the relators, as well as any individual claims of the relators, amounting to approximately $6.0 million in the aggregate, pending finalization and execution of the remaining settlement agreements with the relators.

We also paid accrued interest on the settlement amounts for certain specified periods of approximately two months or less at annual rates of either 2.125% or 1.250% which amounted to approximately $230,000 in the aggregate.

We had previously established a pre-tax reserve in connection with the settlements and matters discussed above, which includes related fees and costs due to or on behalf of third-parties, which amounted to approximately $134 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  The final aggregate settlement amounts, together with accrued interest and related fees and costs, did not differ materially from the previously established reserves.   

Under the settlement agreements, the United States and the participating states agree to release the Company and its behavioral health subsidiaries from any civil or administrative monetary liability arising from the Covered Conduct as specified in the Agreements. Additionally, under the settlement agreement, the United States, participating states and the relators agreed to dismiss the civil actions filed by the relators under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act, and the OIG agrees, conditioned upon the Company’s full payment of the settlement payment, and in consideration of the Company’s obligations under the Corporate Integrity Agreement (as described below), to release its permissive exclusion rights and refrain from instituting any administrative action seeking to exclude the Company or any Company behavioral health subsidiaries from participating in Medicare, Medicaid or other Federal health care programs as a result of the Covered Conduct. The Settlement Agreements contain other terms and conditions and the foregoing description of the Settlement Agreements are qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the resolution of this matter, and in exchange for the OIG’s agreement not to exclude the Company and its behavioral health subsidiaries from participating in the federal health care programs, the Company entered into a five-year corporate integrity agreement (the “Corporate Integrity Agreement”) with the OIG. The Corporate Integrity Agreement imposes compliance, monitoring, reporting, certification, oversight, screening and training obligations on the Company and its behavioral health facilities, certain of which have previously been implemented. The Corporate Integrity Agreement contains other terms and conditions and the foregoing description of the Corporate Integrity Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
