HOUSTON, Dec. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nobilis Health
Corp. (NYSE American: HLTH) ("Nobilis" or the "Company") announced
today that it has entered into an in-network contract ("Payor
Agreement") at Plano Surgical Hospital with one of the nation's
largest commercial payors. The Payor Agreement went effective
January 1, 2019. This facility
will now be in network with three of the nation's four largest
commercial payors.
"The execution of this agreement represents another significant
step in our long-stated goal of becoming a comprehensive in network
health system," said James
Springfield, incoming CEO. "Nobilis has worked to move
our facilities in network on a revenue neutral basis. The
added benefits to our shareholders of moving in network will be the
increased predictability and speed of collections as well as
opening up a new market of "in network only" surgeons that we can
attract to our facilities. This contract will put us at
approximately 60% in network in Texas as we begin 2019. We continue to
make progress in our negotiations with the nation's largest payors
and hope to have more to announce on this matter in the near
future."

not relate solely to historical or current facts and may be
identified by the use of words such as "may," "believe," "will,"
"expect," "project," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan" or
"continue." These forward-looking statements are based on current
plans and expectations and are subject to a number of risks,
uncertainties and other factors which could significantly affect
current plans and expectations and our future financial condition
and results. These factors, which could cause actual results,
performance and achievements to differ materially from those
anticipated, include, but are not limited to our ability to
successfully maintain effective internal controls over financial
reporting; our ability to implement our business strategy, manage
the growth in our business, and integrate acquired businesses; the
risk of litigation and investigations, and liability claims for
damages and other expenses not covered by insurance; the risk that
payments from third-party payers, including government healthcare
programs, may decrease or not increase as costs increase; adverse
developments affecting the medical practices of our physician
limited partners; our ability to maintain favorable relations with
our physician limited partners; our ability to grow revenues by
increasing case and procedure volume while maintaining
profitability at the Nobilis Facilities; failure to timely or
accurately bill for services; our ability to compete for physician
partners, patients and strategic relationships; the risk of changes
in patient volume and patient mix; the risk that laws and
regulations that regulate payments for medical services made by
government healthcare programs could cause our revenues to
decrease; the risk that contracts are canceled or not renewed or
that we are not able to enter into additional contracts under terms
that are acceptable to us; and the risk of potential decreases in
our reimbursement rates. The foregoing are significant factors we
think could cause our actual results to differ materially from
expected results. However, there could be additional factors
besides those listed herein that also could affect us in an adverse
manner.
