The two IPAs provide high-quality, coordinated care to over 4,400 managed care patients through a network of over 112 primary care physicians in South, Central and North Florida.
• Additionally, Nutex Health launched three new independent practice associations ("IPAs") in 2023. Our IPAs in South Florida and Houston are actively enrolling patients during the 2023 Medicare Annual Enrollment Period ("AEP"). 
• On September 5, 2023, Nutex Health announced the appointment of Josh DeTillio as the Company's Chief Operating Officer.  Mr. DeTillio is an experienced healthcare leader with over 20 years of hospital experience and 12 years as a CEO in publicly traded companies.
• In September 2023, the Company commenced a private offering (the "September 2023 Private Offering") of up to $15.0 million pursuant to which the Company will issue investment units (the "Units") at $50,000 per Unit to accredited investors (the "Unit Holder") as defined in Rule 501 under the 1933 Act. Unit consists of (a) an interest-bearing unsecured convertible promissory note (the "Unsecured Convertible Term Notes") in the principal amount of $50,000 convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share and (b) a six-year warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 62,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Notes mature on October 31, 2025 and the Warrants expire on December 31, 2029. As of September 30, 2023, the Company received net cash proceeds of $0.9 million.  As of November 6, 2023, the Company has received net cash proceeds of $4.4 million.

NSA Update:

• On August 24, 2023 the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas in TMA III ruled to vacate several aspects of the regulations mandating the methodology for the QPA calculation. In particular, the court prohibited the inclusion of "ghost rates" as part of the QPA calculation and QPA calculations that are not based on the same or similar specialty. This is the 4th time the federal court has ruled in favor of the Texas Medical Association effective nationwide. In its FAQs dated October 6, 2023, the Department of Labor states that the Department of Justice intends to appeal the court's ruling.
• On October 6, 2023, CMS announced new guidance in response to the August 2023 ruling in TMA III vacating several provisions of the existing NSA regulations. In the announcement, the Departments state that while they disagree with the court's ruling, the QPA calculations must now be made in good faith in accordance with the NSA and applicable rules currently in effect, with no additional guidance provided by the Departments and a suspension of any enforcement until at least May 1, 2024, to give the insurers adequate time to comply with the TMA III court ruling. Our management team is actively working with legislatures, the Administration, and the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) to request CMS to promptly issue specific guidance on health plan obligations to calculate QPAs in line with the federal district court ruling and issue additional instructions to certified IDR entities on how to evaluate QPAs that are based on an invalidated methodology.
• On October 27, 2023, the Departments of HHS, Labor, and the Treasury, along with the Office of Personnel Management, released a proposed rule on the NSA's Federal IDR process. The proposed rules would allow: better communication between health plans and providers, open negotiations through a centralized Federal IDR portal, improved IDR eligibility determinations and batching ability of claims.  We do not know when and in what form these proposed rules will be implemented, however, we feel that this is a favorable step in the right direction to repair the faulty implementation of the NSA.

"Our balance sheet continues to remain strong with $26.8 million of cash on hand and significant capital available to handle the development of the five additional micro-hospitals we plan to open in 2024, in addition to forming new IPAs and growing our existing IPAs," stated Jon Bates, Chief Financial Officer of Nutex Health. 

"We are executing on our goal of opening new hospitals and growing volumes and service lines at our existing hospitals. In addition, we are actively enrolling patients in our South Florida and Houston IPAs during the 2023 Medicare Annual Enrollment Period and executing on our integrated healthcare delivery model comprised of micro-hospitals surrounded by risk-bearing physician networks. We believe that this is a novel and innovative model that we can replicate across the country. On the NSA side, we are actively working with legislators and members of CCIIO, as well as the Biden-Harris Administration to correct the flawed implementation of the NSA," stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health. 

"In the first nine months of 2023, we have delivered three successive quarters with positive net cash from operating activities and positive adjusted EBITDA while opening four new micro-hospitals, one new urgent care center and launching three new IPAs. We intend to continue to execute on our growth strategy and are confident in our outlook for 2024.  On the capital markets side, with cash on hand and proceeds from our private offering, we intend to pay off the remaining $5.6 million outstanding of our pre-paid advance from Yorkville Advisors prior to the end of the year, with the goal of mitigating the selling pressure on our stock. We expect our board to base its decision regarding the reverse stock split on our trading price and an extension of our existing grace period," stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., President of Nutex Health.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for stock-based compensation, certain defined items of expense, any acquisition-related costs and impairments. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.
