Highlights & Notes

El Centro Regional Medical Center is in default

It will receive $28M in emergency funding

As of March 31th 2023:

DCOH: 38.6
Quick ratio: 0.72
Days in A/R: 55.9
Current ratio: 1.05
Debt service coverage ratio: (1.91)
Due from 3rd party payors: $6.8M

2022 Payor mix:

44% Medicare
34% Medicaid
19% Commercial

The largest Medicaid insurer in California is Centene

A couple quick numbers from the first half of 2023:

$82.9B Assets
$2.2B Net income
$6.8B Cash from ops
$408M Stock repurchased

One more number for the heck of it…

$47.5M Total comp for the top 5 Centene execs

1.7x the bailout funds for the hospital

That it probably owes money to

The whole system is upside down
