From time to time, the Company is a party to, or has a significant relationship to, legal proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes may have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s policy is to expense legal costs as they are incurred.

The Company continues to monitor and assess the estimated operating and financial impact of COVID-19. Future developments, such as the severity and duration of new COVID-19 variants, COVID-19’s impact on the U.S. economy, consumer behavior and health care utilization patterns, and the timing, scope, and impact of legislation as well as other federal, state, and local governmental responses to the pandemic could introduce new uncertainties to care patterns and the Company's business. During the year ended December 31, 2022, overall care was near normal baseline levels, with certain areas of care at or approaching seasonal baselines, and other areas below. Future care patterns and acuity may temporarily rise due to missed regular care.

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state, and local governments. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs, together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

The healthcare regulatory landscape is constantly changing. It is difficult to predict which final rules may be adopted and implemented by federal and state authorities, and if such final rules would result in any material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Management is unable to determine how any future government spending cuts will affect Medicare reimbursement. There likely will continue to be legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at containing or lowering the cost of healthcare that, if adopted, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

CMS and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Office of Inspector General perform audits of selected MA contracts related to risk adjustment diagnosis data. In these Risk-Adjustment Data Validation Audits (“RADV audits”), the government reviews medical records to determine whether physician medical record documentation and coding practices are compliant, which can result in the recovery of payments from managed care

organizations if errors are identified and influence the calculation of premium payments by CMS to MA plans. On January 30, 2023, CMS released a final rule, announcing it may use extrapolation for payment years 2018 forward, for both RADV audits and Office of Inspector General audits and eliminated the application of a fee-for-service Adjuster in Part C contract-level RADV audits of Medicare Advantage organizations. The Company's payors are subject to audit by government health plans, including, but not limited to, CMS, in connection with the MA program. The Company is currently unable to predict the results of RADV audits on its financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
