In April 2020, the Company received $13.9 million in funds from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) Accelerated and Advance Payment Program as part of the CARES Act. As part of this program, the Company was permitted to request up to 100% of the Medicare payment amounts received for the prior three-month period. Repayment of this amount is required to begin 120 days after the issuance of the payment. After the 120 day period, every claim submitted by the Company will be offset against the accelerated / advanced payment. Thus, instead of receiving payment for newly submitted claims, the Company’s outstanding accelerated / advance payment balance will be reduced by the claim payment amount.

In addition, in April 2020, the Company automatically received, without request, $4.7 million in funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund. Permanent retention of these is subject to certain qualifying criteria and the Company is currently assessing whether it qualifies to retain the funding.

Other aspects of the CARES Act that the Company is evaluating include (i) the deferral of employer social security payroll tax payments and (ii) the use of the employee retention tax credit. The Company anticipates that it will defer all employer social security payroll tax payments for the remainder of the 2020 calendar year, such that 50% of the taxes is deferred until December 31, 2021, with the remaining 50% deferred until December 31, 2022. The employee retention tax credit provides an additional tax credit to employers that (i) have either fully or partially suspended operations because of government orders associated with COVID-19 or (ii) experience a substantial decline in income but continue to pay employees their wages.

Further, as precautionary measures to increase the Company’s cash position and preserve financial flexibility in view of the current uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company (i) completed a borrowing of $100.0 million under its secured revolving credit facility on April 16, 2020, (ii) initiated temporary salary reductions for U.S. employees and the Board of Directors beginning in April 2020, and (iii) suspended the Company’s 401(k) match program until September 30, 2020.
