Introduction
Purpose of this presentation is to summarize the supplemental analysis
performed and findings reached on our second quarter
Medicare revenue growth in second quarter fell short of expectations and
was inconsistent with historical trends
Medicare revenue declined in second quarter due to several factors,
including a decline in Medicare case mix index (CMI)
Based on information available to us at this time, including this analysis and 
preliminary results for July and August, we are confirming 2011 guidance of 3
to 5% growth in adjusted EBITDA for the full year, assuming we substantially
meet HITECH reimbursement parameters

Additional analysis of Q2 included three major areas

Supplemental data integrity review disclosed no issues
Findings
Analysis
HCA has a robust compliance effort in all areas of compliance risk, including
DRG coding
No changes in coding process,
and no significant differences
in historical coding results
Confirmed data flow operated
correctly
DRG coding audit conducted, 
with independent review, of
both shared services and
hospital DRG coding
Reviewed systems that involve
flow of data from coding to
billing

Analysis 
 
 
Regulatory changes include the
72 hour
rule
(effective
6/30/10),
with adverse impact of $21
million in Q2 (no year over year
impact going forward); and CT
scan reimbursement
(effective
1/1/11) with adverse impact of
$7 million in Q2 (similar impact
anticipated in Q3 and Q4)
Findings
Prior year cost report and
claims revenue was $18 million
less in 2Q/2011 compared with
2Q/2010  (smaller expected
impact in Q3 and Q4)
Reviewed prior year cost report
and claims results
Reviewed impact of  regulatory
changes


8
Extensive review of Medicare case mix conducted
CMI analysis by DRG type --
identified DRGs and facilities that appeared to account for
primary CMI shifts
Surveyed facilities for root cause of change and outlook
Tested impact of CMS grouper changes implemented on October 1, 2010


9
Decline in Medicare case mix resulted in $28 million adverse impact
Implications for Q3 and Q4
Downward pressure on CMI
likely to continue, driven by
falling surgical volume
Difficult to predict future
medical case mix
Grouper change not expected
to have material impact
Shift in volume from
surgical to medical,
primarily in cardiovascular
service line
CMI decline within medical
cases, especially pulmonary
New CMS grouper, effective
October 2010

Overall demand for cardiovascular services has been declining about 3% per year for
several years
Appears to be an acceleration of this negative trend nationally that impacted HCA
markets in Q2 2011
In HCA, 20 hospitals across 10 divisions contributed to the majority of declines.  The
primary reasons for decline were:
Physician attrition
Competitor investments, such as starting a new program
Medical management
Generally weaker demand
Cardiovascular declines were driven by several factors

HCA defines 29 markets based on county service areas. Analysis excluded Kansas City, Denver and San Jose markets due to incomplete data; also excluded Augusta and 
N. Virginia due to low patient volumes (<100 patients/quarter). Remaining 24 markets were used to compare HCA vs. non-HCA hospital evolution in CV IP surgical

Note 1:  Statistics are based on data for the most recently available 24 month period from 143 HCA facilities in 29 defined markets.  Market
shares  differ from Slide 14 because of different  groupings of cases included in  overall categories.
Note 2:  Analysis includes data from 10 markets through Q1 ’11, 16 through Q4 ’10, 1 through Q3 ’10, 1 through Q2 ’10 (KC), and 1 market
through Q4 ’09 (San Jose).
Note 3:  Source = State data via Intellimed.
Overall  market share for HCA is stable with some service line variation

Conclusion
1 Based upon decline in actual CMI change from expected CMI change
Relevant HCA actions are being implemented, both as to revenue opportunities and
expense control
Based on information available to us at this time, including this analysis and  preliminary
results for July and August, we are confirming 2011 guidance of 3 to 5% growth in adjusted
EBITDA for the full year, assuming we substantially meet HITECH reimbursement
parameters
Medicare revenue decline in second quarter due to several factors (numbers show year
over year change, Q2 2011 to Q2 2010) and estimates of future impact refer to Q3 and
Q4 2011:
