(1)Consists primarily of management service fees in the Company's U.S. dialysis business and research fees, management fees, and other non-patient service revenues in the Other - ancillary services businesses.
The majority of the Company's non-patient service revenues from Medicare and Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and Managed Medicaid, and commercial sources represent risk-based revenues earned by the Company's U.S. IKC business.
For its IKC business, the Company recognized revenues for performance obligations satisfied in previous years of $171,385, $116,336, and $94,361 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The delay in recognition of these amounts resulted predominantly from measurement limitations and recognition constraints on both the Company's complex VBC contracts with health plans, as well as its government Comprehensive Kidney Care Contracting (CKCC) program. The Company's revenue recognition for its government CKCC program has certain constraints for plan year 2025. See Note 1 "Other revenues" for a description of the Company's accounting for these value-based care arrangements.
No single commercial payor accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues or consolidated accounts receivable for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements or at their period-ends, respectively. International operations generate approximately 10% of total consolidated revenues.
Accounts receivable from Medicare, including Medicare Advantage plans, and Medicaid, including managed Medicaid plans, were approximately $881,191 and $768,536 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately 18% and 23% of the Company’s U.S. dialysis accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were more than six months old. Of these accounts receivable, there were no significant balances over one year old at December 31, 2025. The Company's accounts receivable are principally due from Medicare and Medicaid programs and commercial insurance plans.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
