Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation	(a) Basis of Presentation The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, the consolidated interim financial statements include all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with DFB treated as the acquired company and AdaptHealth Holdings as the acquirer, for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the equity structure has been restated to that of the Company. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Securities Act), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the JOBS Act), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and other exemptions.
Basis of Consolidation	(b) Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentration of Credit Risk	(c) Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Accounting Estimates	(d) Accounting Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to revenue recognition and the valuation of accounts receivable (implicit price concession), income taxes, contingent consideration, equity-based compensation, interest rate swaps, and long-lived assets, including goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business segment	(e) Business Segment The Company’s chief operating decision-makers are its Chief Executive Officer and President, who make resource allocation decisions and assess performance based on financial information presented on an aggregate basis. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision-makers, or anyone else, for any planning, strategy and key decision-making regarding operations. The corporate office is responsible for contract negotiation with vendors and payors, corporate compliance with healthcare laws and regulations, and revenue cycle management. Accordingly, the Company has a single reportable segment and operating segment structure.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	(f) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which amended authoritative guidance on accounting for leases. The new provisions require that a lessee of operating leases recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2021, and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. The Company is still evaluating the impact on its results of operations and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on liquidity. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which will eliminate the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill, commonly referred to as “Step 2” in the current goodwill impairment test. An entity will still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
