Health Management Associates, based in Naples, Fla., reported net revenue of $1.4 billion in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, up 12 percent from the same quarter last year, according to an HMA news release.
Net income attributable to HMA was $43.7 million, up 23.9 percent from the same quarter last year.
Through the nine months ended on Sept. 30, 2011, HMA recorded net revenue of $4.2 billion, up 12.7 percent from 2010. Net income attributable to HMA through the first three quarters of 2011 was $147.9 million, up 21.3 percent from 2010.
HMA President and CEO Gary Newsome said the for-profit hospital operator's growth could be attributed to the progress in their emergency room operations, physician recruitment and market service development at both same-hospital and recently acquired facilities, including Knoxville, Tenn.-based Mercy Health Partners.
Other third quarter metrics include the following:
• Bad debt expense was $178.9 million, or 12.8 percent of HMA's net revenue.
• Admissions increased 4.9 percent from last year, and adjusted admissions increased 7.6 percent. Same hospital admissions increased 0.8 percent.
