ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

NOTE 3. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

In the three months ended September 30, 2016, certain of our health plan assets and liabilities met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. In accordance with the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” we classified $16 million of our health plan assets as “assets held for sale” in current assets and $13 million of our health plan liabilities as “liabilities held for sale” in current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2016.

Our hospitals, physician practices and related assets in Georgia met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale in the three months ended June 30, 2015. In accordance with ASC 360, we classified $549 million of our assets in Georgia as “assets held for sale” in current assets and $101 million of our liabilities in Georgia as “liabilities held for sale” in current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015. We completed the sale of our Georgia assets on March 31, 2016 at a transaction price of approximately $575 million and recognized a gain on sale of approximately $113 million. Because we did not sell the related accounts receivable with respect to the pre-closing period, net receivables of approximately $61 million are included in accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2016.
