NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Reporting Entity
 
HCA Healthcare, Inc. is a holding company whose affiliates own and operate hospitals and related health care entities. The term “affiliates” includes direct and indirect subsidiaries of HCA Healthcare, Inc. and partnerships and joint ventures in which such subsidiaries are partners. At March 31, 2019, these affiliates owned and operated 185 hospitals, 124 freestanding surgery centers and provided extensive outpatient and ancillary services. HCA Healthcare, Inc.’s facilities are located in 21 states and England. The terms “Company,” “HCA,” “we,” “our” or “us,” as used herein and unless otherwise stated or indicated by context, refer to HCA Healthcare, Inc. and its affiliates. The terms “facilities” or “hospitals” refer to entities owned and operated by affiliates of HCA and the term “employees” refers to employees of affiliates of HCA.
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
 S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.
The majority of our expenses are “costs of revenues” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative would include our corporate office costs, which were $86 million and $81 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our annual report on Form
 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Revenues
 
Our revenues generally relate to contracts with patients in which our performance obligations are to provide health care services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide health care services are satisfied.
Our performance obligations for inpatient services are generally satisfied over periods that average approximately five days
, and revenues are recognized based on charges incurred in relation to total expected charges.
Our performance obligations for outpatient 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 payer (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 payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges. Medicare generally pays for inpatient and outpatient services at prospectively determined rates based on clinical, diagnostic and other factors. Services provided to patients having Medicaid coverage are generally paid at prospectively determined rates per discharge, per identified service or per covered member. Agreements with commercial insurance carriers, managed care and preferred provider organizations generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates or discounted
fee-for-service
rates. Our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 include $86 million related to the resolution of transaction price differences regarding certain out-of-network services performed in prior periods. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.

Revenues (continued)
 
Our revenues are based upon the estimated amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care and commercial insurance plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record
self-pay
revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. Our revenues from third-party payers and others (including uninsured patients) for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized in the following table (dollars in millions):

To quantify the total impact of the trends related to uninsured accounts, we believe it is beneficial to view total uncompensated care, which is comprised of charity care, uninsured discounts and implicit price concessions. A summary of the estimated cost of total uncompensated care for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 follows (dollars in millions):

Total uncompensated care as a percentage of the sum of revenues and total uncompensated care was 36.1% and 35.4% for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The total uncompensated care amounts include charity care of $2.905 billion and $1.879 billion, and the related estimated costs of charity care were $343 million and $233 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

-hospital health system in North Carolina and $76 million to acquire other nonhospital health care entities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we paid $360 million to acquire a hospital facility and $19 million to acquire other nonhospital health care entities. Purchase price amounts have been allocated to the related assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets of these acquired entities aggregated $207 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the acquired entities subsequent to the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma effects of these acquired entities on our results of operations for periods prior to the respective acquisition dates were not significant.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we received proceeds of $25 million and recognized a net pretax loss of $
1
 million related to a sale of a hospital facility in one of our Louisiana markets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we also received proceeds of $5 million related to sales of real estate and other investments. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we received proceeds of $758 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $376 million related to the sale of the two hospital facilities in our Oklahoma market. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we also received proceeds of $9 million and recognized a net pretax gain of $29 million related to sales of real estate and other investments.
NOTE 3 — INCOME TAXES
 
Our provision for income taxes for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $279 million and $257 million, respectively, and the effective tax rates were 21.2% and 18.4%, respectively. Our provision for income taxes included tax benefits related to the settlement of employee equity awards of $49 million and $92 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $457 million, including accrued interest of $53 million, as of March 31, 2019 ($435 million and $48 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018). Unrecognized tax benefits of $143 million ($137 million as of December 31, 2018) would affect the effective rate, if recognized.
The Internal Revenue Service began an examination of the Company’s 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns during 2019. We are also subject to examination by state and foreign taxing authorities. Depending on the resolution of any federal, state and foreign tax disputes, the completion of examinations by federal, state or foreign taxing authorities, or the expiration of statutes of limitation for specific taxing jurisdictions, we believe it is reasonably possible that our liability for unrecognized tax benefits may significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. However, we are currently unable to estimate the range of any possible change.
NOTE 4 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards and potential shares, computed using the treasury stock method.
