Forward-looking statements
Forward-looking statements
Certain
statements
contained
in
this
presentation
constitute
“forward-looking
statements”
within
the
meaning
of
Section
27A
of
the
Securities
Act
of
1933
and
Section
21E
of
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other
factors
that
may
cause
the
Company’s
actual
results
to
be
materially
different
from
those
expressed
or
implied
by
such
forward-looking
statements.
Such
factors
include,
among others, the following: the passage of heath care reform legislation and the enactment of additional federal and state health care reform; other changes in federal, state, or
local laws and regulations affecting the health care industry; general economic and business conditions, both nationally and regionally; demographic changes; changes in, or the
failure to comply with, laws and governmental regulations; the ability to enter into managed care provider arrangements on acceptable terms; changes in Medicare and Medicaid
payments or reimbursement; liability and other claims asserted against the Company; competition, including the Company’s ability to attract patients to its hospitals; technological
and pharmaceutical improvements that increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for, health care; changes in business strategy or development plans; the ability to
attract and retain qualified personnel, including physicians, nurses and other health care professionals, and the impact on the Company’s labor expenses resulting from a shortage
of nurses or other health care professionals; the significant indebtedness of the Company; the Company's ability to integrate new businesses with its existing operations; the
availability and terms of capital to fund the expansion of the Company's business, including the acquisition of additional facilities; the creditworthiness of counterparties to the
Company’s business transactions; adverse fluctuations in interest rates and other risks related to interest rate swaps or any other hedging activities the Company undertakes; the
ability
to
continue
to
expand
and
realize
earnings
contributions
from
the
Company’s
Conifer
revenue
cycle
management
and
patient
communication
businesses;
and
its
ability
to
identify and execute on measures designed to save or control costs or streamline operations. Such factors also include the positive and negative effects of health reform legislation
on reimbursement and utilization and the future designs of provider networks and insurance plans, including pricing, provider participation, coverage and co-pays and deductibles,
all
of
which
contain
significant
uncertainty,
and
for
which
multiple
models
exist
which
may
differ
materially
from
the
Company's
expectations.
Certain
additional
risks
and
uncertainties
are
discussed
in
the
Company’s
filings
with
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission,
including
the
Company’s
annual
report
on
Form
10-K
and
quarterly
reports
on
Form 10-Q. The Company specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of changes in underlying factors, new information,
future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Information
This
document
includes
certain
financial
measures
such
as
Adjusted
EBITDA,
which
are
not
calculated
in
accordancewith
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(GAAP).
Management recommends that you focus on the GAAP numbers as the best indicator of financial performance.
These alternative measures are provided only as a supplement to aid in analysis of the Company.
Reconciliation
between
non-GAAP
measures
and
related
GAAP
measures
can
be

Affordable Care Act
7
The Affordable Care Act is expected to be negative to earnings through 2013 due to Market
Basket reductions (reducing positive annual market basket adjustments)
However, expected to be positive in 2014 and 2015 due to:
Migration of existing charity care to an insured status (revenue, bad debt and income increase)
Migration
of
uninsured
volumes
to
an
insured
status
(revenue
and
bad
debt
decrease,
income
increases)
Increased utilization of healthcare by the newly insured (revenue, bad debt and income increase)
Expected to result in 7.5% inpatient and 5.0% outpatient volume growth
Our 2015 estimated EBITDA range provides for substantial variation
Tenet is positioned to benefit more from coverage of the newly insured due to our concentration in areas of high uninsured populations

Medicare Performance Initiative (MPI)
Overview
What is MPI?
MPI is a program with the goal of creating a sustained, standardized approach following
nationally recognized best practices to improve clinical outcomes and reduce variable costs
This program is built on a unique foundation of information system capabilities and allows us to
improve the way we treat disease and perform procedures on Medicare patients
Any
benefits
of
the
initiative
should
also
have
a
“halo”
effect
on
other
payers
This is critical given the direction of health care reform to a more “value based purchasing
model”
involving the delivery of higher quality at lower pricing near Medicare payment levels
MPI encompasses many different initiatives:
1)
Physician behavior change
2)
Labor management
3)
Supply chain initiatives
4)
Case management program
MPI initiatives are identified, tracked, measured and shared


35
1. Physician Behavior Change
How are savings achieved through different methods of treating disease
and performing procedures?
An analysis is performed on 5 MS-DRG groups at each hospital where total costs exceed
revenues to identify variable costs that can be reduced
Physician champions are enlisted to support the changes in behavior that will reduce the
variability of how different physicians treat the same disease
Customized prescriptive work plans are developed to reduce the variable costs using local,
national, and acceptable best practices for standards of care
Repeatable
process
is
hardwired
to
address
more
MS-DRGs
in
the
future
What’s in it for the physician?
High cost/ low quality physicians are already being excluded by health plans in certain
markets
Hospital
and
physician
incentives
will
be
more
aligned,
creating
greater
opportunity
for
success under health reform based payment models
Improving profitability and quality enhances the hospital’s ability to attract the best
employees and fund investments in capital equipment and facilities

2.  Labor Management
Labor Management Specialists are assigned to each Region
Each hospital is provided an array of labor productivity tools –
Position
Control, Staffing Grids, Visionware
Labor Management Specialists make site visits to work with hospital teams
to improve use of tools and understanding of program
New Labor Management Reporting System (LMRS) has been developed
Replaces previous bi-weekly labor reports
Reflects both paid and productive FTEs and dollars
Departmental drill downs available
Future enhancements to include more meaningful department-level drill down

3.  Supply Chain Initiatives
Numerous supply chain initiatives
have been identified and
implemented
These require significant work with
physicians and staff to change
behavior, but can result in significant
savings
Supply chain initiatives that have been most effective
include:
High cost drugs –
medication utilization management
Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) devices
Drug eluting stents
Ortho and spine implants
High cost supplies –
custom procedure tray utilization
Purchased services –
Food and Nutritional Services and
Environmental Services
Blood product sourcing and improved utilization

4.  Case Management Program
Case Management Specialists are assigned to each Region and perform
on-site visits to hospitals
Medical Necessity screening is performed using Interqual
guidelines
prior to, or as soon as possible after, bed placement
Clinical rationale for decision is clearly documented
Goals of an effective case management program are:
Correct use of observation status
Ensure length of stay is appropriate
Reduce managed care denials
Tactics used to reach these goals are:
All clinical departments, nursing departments, and the Utilization Management (UM)
committee share in ownership
Implement multidisciplinary patient care conferences
Adequate & effective Physician Advisor coverage with UM knowledge
Physician education and support

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
47


Reconciliation of EBITDA
Reconciliation of EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common
shareholders
before
(1)
cumulative
effect
of
changes
in
accounting
principle,
net
of
tax,
(2)
net
income
attributable
to
noncontrolling
interests,
(3)
preferred stock dividends, (4) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, (5) income tax (expense) benefit, (6) investment earnings (loss),
(7) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (8) net gain (loss) on sales of investments, (9) interest expense, (10) litigation and investigation
(costs) benefit, net of insurance recoveries, (11) hurricane insurance recoveries, net of costs, (12) impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and
restructuring charges, net of insurance recoveries, and (13) depreciation and amortization. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable
to EBITDA reported by other companies.
The Company provides this information as a supplement to GAAP information to assist itself and investors in understanding the impact of various
items on its financial statements, some of which are recurring or involve cash payments. The Company uses this information in its analysis of the
performance of its business excluding items that it does not consider as relevant in the performance of its hospitals in continuing operations. Adjusted
EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity, but is a measure of operating performance that management uses in its business as an alternative to net income
(loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes many items that are included in our
financial
statements,
it
does
not
provide
a
complete
measure
of
our
operating
performance.
Accordingly,
investors
are
encouraged
to
use
GAAP
measures when evaluating the Company’s financial performance.
Future period high range estimates assume excess cash is used to
early retire debt. Actual use of cash may vary and therefore interest expense and
other elements of earnings may vary significantly. The reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common
shareholders, the most comparable GAAP term, to Adjusted EBITDA,
is set forth below.
