Earnings Call Analysis
Q3-2023 Analysis
Apollo Medical Holdings Inc
The company reported strong performance with revenue increasing by 10% to $348 million. This growth was significantly bolstered by a 34% jump in capitated revenue, reaching around $306 million, indicative of a robust scaling of its value-based care initiatives.
The company maintained a healthy Adjusted EBITDA of $52 million, resulting in a margin of approximately 15%. It also shared plans to acquire Community Family Care Medical Group, a provider with a vast network managing over 200,000 members, which promises synergies and revenue boosts post-acquisition.
The company highlighted two new provider partnerships aimed at expanding their care network and revealed its intent for further partnerships throughout the year, indicating a strategic growth plan in both California and other regions.
With a diversified portfolio of over 10,000 providers serving roughly 900,000 members, the company reaffirms its mission to deliver high-quality care. It also stressed that 90% of its revenue is tied to value-based care, aligning its incentives with patient and provider interests.
With the acquisition of Community Family Care, the company anticipates added revenue of $190 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $25 million. The deal, valued at $202 million, will be a mix funded by cash, equity, and performance-based earnouts. The company’s revised revenue guidance is between $1.34 billion and $1.39 billion, slightly below the midpoint of its previous estimates. Adjusted EBITDA expectations are set between $135 million and $150 million, and earnings per share are forecasted to be $1.10 to $1.20.
The company is in the process of obtaining separate licenses to enable full-risk management for Medicaid populations throughout California. This strategic move, combined with the acquisition of Community Family Care, is set to fast-track their scalability in the Medicaid sector.
An active expansion of geographies and new contracts has allowed the company to prepare for getting their Medicare Advantage book of business into full-risk arrangements by next year, solidifying its position in the Medicare space.
While official guidance for 2024 has not been published, the executive team conveyed optimism for continued EBITDA growth, driven by new partnerships and provider growth, including the CFC acquisition.

Thank you, operator. Good evening, and thank you all for joining us to discuss ApolloMed's third quarter performance.
We are pleased to deliver another strong quarter at ApolloMed, one in which we not only continue to deliver strong operational, clinical and financial results, but also continue to grow the momentum we've had in transforming health care for local communities across the country. The infrastructure that we have built and the alignment we have with our partners continues to accelerate the country towards our vision, one in which everyone has access to high quality, accessible and high-value care.
Starting with financial highlights for the quarter. Revenue of $348 million grew 10% compared to the prior year period, as we experienced growth in all 3 of our segments: Care Partners, Care Delivery and Care Enablement.
Capitated revenue grew almost 34% to around $306 million in the quarter compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA of $52 million benefited from the aforementioned strong growth in capitated revenues in the Care Partners business, and our continuing successful efforts in managing total cost of care for these members and value-based risk-bearing arrangements. Adjusted EBITDA margin was around 15%, as we continue to grow while building a sustainable business.
Before getting into strategic and operational developments from the quarter, I wanted to comment on our announcement today of our intent to acquire assets related to Community Family Care Medical Group, or CFC, including their independent physician association, Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan and managed service organization entities.
Community Family Care is a scaled, full risk-bearing provider group, made up of more than 350 primary care providers and more than 500 specialists, managing care for over 200,000 Medicaid, Medicare and Commercial members in Los Angeles County. They have been a care enablement client since January of 2020, and we'll continue to utilize those solutions with no further onboarding period necessary as a care partner going forward.
In addition to its unique network and robust clinical capabilities, CFC will also bring pending regulatory approval with existing Restricted Knox-Keene or RKK license for Medicaid members, which will accelerate our path to scale and full risk for this important population.
Furthermore, we expect to harness synergies in shifting our existing Medicaid population to full risk arrangements, while also moving CFC's Medicare members into full-risk arrangements utilizing our senior-focused RKK. We anticipate that this will allow us to more effectively manage total cost of care across our Medicaid book of business, while expanding access to high-quality care to even more patients across the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Importantly, the acquisition of an existing client shows the value and synergy of leveraging both our Care Enablement and Care Partners business segments, transitioning from a vendor client relationship into one in which we are responsible for the total cost of care of their scaled membership base, in a derisked and accretive fashion. We are excited to not only recognize several costs and revenue-related synergies in partnering with CFC and its providers, but far more importantly, continuing to deepen our commitment to local communities across Los Angeles and continuing to drive access, quality and value in these communities. Chan will dive more deeply into the financial details of this acquisition later in this call.
Turning now to business updates from the third quarter. We continue to build on our momentum this year, with 2 new provider partnerships since our last earnings call. First, we have partnered with Associated Hispanic Physicians, a group of over 150 primary care providers and over 450 specialists in Los Angeles with around 25,000 Medicaid, Medicare and Commercial members and value-based care arrangements. In order to support that group with our Care Enablement offering. We expect associated Hispanic physicians providers to be onboarded onto our Care Enablement platform by March of 2024.
Next, we expanded our relationship with Advantage Health Network, a group of approximately 15 primary care providers and several hundred specialists in Los Angeles, which supports around 4,500 Medicaid, Medicare and Commercial members and value-based care arrangements. As part of the partnership, Advantage's providers are slated to join our Care Partners business. We also acquired 5 primary care clinics in the Advantage Health Network, which will be integrated into our Care Delivery business.
Of note, Advantage Health Network has been a long-time care enablement client of ours, and will continue to benefit from the Care Enablement offering. As in the case of CFC, Advantage Health Network providers are already onboarded onto the ApolloMed platform. This is another example of our ability to support our Care Enablement clients seamlessly and more deeply in our Care Partners business, where we manage the member's total cost of care on a capitated basis. We believe this tuck-in acquisition and partnership will be immediately accretive and will further expand our Care Delivery and Care Partners geographic footprint in the Los Angeles area.
In totality, the partnerships with Community Family Care, Associated Hispanic Physicians and Advantage Health Network, will strengthen our ability to provide high quality, accessible and coordinated care for local communities throughout Los Angeles.
Finally, we are excited to share that we have entered a strategic partnership with Wider Circle, a peer-based community health organization working with payers and providers to connect neighbors for better health. Under this partnership, our 2 organizations will provide comprehensive patient-centered care and enhanced care management for Medicaid members with complex needs, an integral component of the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal, or CalAIM initiative.
By pairing Wider Circle's community-based engagement model and our core clinical offerings and proprietary care management platform, we will strive to bring community-based, interdisciplinary and person-centered care to all who need it, especially those most underserved. We believe that this joint venture will be an especially valuable offering, given our definitive agreement to acquire Community Family Care, a full risk-bearing Medicaid organization, as well as the Managed Medicaid scale that already exists in our existing and new provider group partners. This brings our total number of provider group partnerships signed for the year so far, to 5, with 2 of those in Texas and 3 of those in California, not including our joint venture with Wider Circle and our planned acquisition of Community Family Care.
And our outlook for additional provider group partnerships for the remainder of this year, in both California and beyond is very strong. Overall, we continue to be a leader in value-based care with a focus on all populations, including members in Managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage and Medicare fee-for-service and Commercial lines of business.
We believe that our scaled and highly diversified business with over 10,000 providers on platform, serving approximately 900,000 members in value-based care arrangements, alongside over 20 payer partners, positions us very strongly to accomplish our mission to provide high-quality, accessible and high-value care to all, and communities across the country.
And with over 90% of our revenue related to value-based care, our incentives are truly aligned with those of the patients and providers, whether in our core markets in Southern California, or in our newer markets in Northern California, Nevada, Texas, and beyond.
Our scaled value-based care infrastructure and long proven ability to effectively manage total cost of care and patient outcomes allows us to have confidence in sustained profitability, as we invest to grow our model into local communities across the country. We are excited by the continued momentum we are seeing in the business, and we'll continue to work to improve our members' health, empower physicians and effectively manage total cost of care for those we serve.
To close my prepared remarks, I would like to thank our teammates and partners for believing in our vision to transform health care in local communities across the country. The accelerating growth and outcomes of our business would not be possible without your passion, dedication and support.
With that, I'll turn it over to Chan to review our financial results.
Thank you, Brandon. Before I review the third quarter results, I wanted to discuss our recent acquisition of Community Family Care Medical Group, including their independent physician association, Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plan and managed service organization entities, or in aggregate, CFC, as well as our recently announced Term Loan A and the financial flexibility that it provides.
As Brandon already highlighted, the strategic benefits of the CFC transaction, I'm going to provide an overview of the financials.
CFC is expected to generate approximately $190 million of revenue this year, and approximately $25 million of adjusted EBITDA. Once the transaction is closed, which we expect to happen in Q1 2024, we will transition their approximately 200,000 members to our Care Partners platform. This will be meaningfully additive to our Care Partners revenue. It will also slightly increase our intersegment eliminations, since this population will continue to utilize our Care Enablement solution. The transaction price of $202 million is a combination of $152 million of cash from our balance sheet, $20 million of equity and up to $30 million of performance-based earn-outs.
Today, we also announced an oversubscribed term loan of $300 million, which increases the company's facility to $700 million with our existing $400 million revolver. We intend to use these funds to position us for future M&A transactions, which allow us to continue to expand our geographic footprint and grow our membership base. Through this process, we were able to negotiate expanded baskets within our overall facility, including increasing the maximum levels of certain forms of permitted indebtedness, increasing the maximum levels of restricted payments, including share repurchases, and increasing the maximum levels of certain investments.
The term loan is also being used to fund our recent $100 million share buyback from APC-excluded assets. We have confidence in the future growth and profitability of our business, and with this buyback, we're optimistic about our ability to generate sustainable shareholder value in the years to come. This buyback also allows us to work towards a consolidated tax return and solve for our effective tax rate.
Now turning to our third quarter results. Our third quarter revenue of $348.2 million increased 10% compared to a year ago, and was driven by growth in all 3 of our core segments. Our capitated revenue grew by 34% annually during the same period, from $227.6 million to $305.7 million. We ended the third quarter with 900,000 members, which is the total number of unique members we support in our Care Partners, Care Delivery and Care Enablement segments.
As a reminder, we take some level of medical risk in each of our Care Partner members and received the appropriate level of reimbursement. In Care Enablement, we received a smaller fee to utilize our technology platform to support third-party providers in their value-based care efforts.
Because of the different financial profiles of each member, I want to take a moment to share how our membership has changed and will be changing within our segments. Our Care Enablement membership decreased to approximately 900,000 members this quarter, as a result of our previously reported Care Enablement client ending their contract.
Additionally, when CFC closes, we expect to see the growth of approximately 200,000 members in our Care Partners business, as we begin to take risk for those members' total cost of care.
Adjusted EBITDA was $52 million compared to $57.1 million, a year ago. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA benefited from our continued care management efforts. On a year-over-year basis, the decline was a result of our onetime 2021 NGACO payment in Q3 2022. As a reminder, the impact of that program was recognized in 1 quarter in 2022 and going forward. We have been and will continue to accrue the profitability of the ACO program throughout the year.
Our effective tax rate of 26% in the third quarter was lower than our historical levels due to the release of valuation allowances. As previously mentioned last quarter, our effective tax rate has been historically high due to the income tax associated with certain intercompany dividends. The release of valuation allowances offset our high historical tax rates, as we continue to work to implement measures to bring down our effective tax rate, which we anticipate being in the mid-30s by the first quarter of 2024.
Net income attributable to ApolloMed in the third quarter was $22.1 million compared to $23.2 million in the prior year period. Earnings per diluted share was $0.47 compared to $0.50, a year ago.
Now turning to our balance sheet. We ended the quarter with $273.9 million in cash and total debt of $209.2 million. As it relates to our long-term view on our leverage ratio, we aim to have a net leverage in the range of 2.25x to 2.75x but may experience short-term variation.
The last topic I want to cover on today's call is our guidance. Given where we are in the year, we are narrowing our range for the full year and now expect the following: in regards to revenue, we expect to be between $1.34 billion and $1.39 billion, compared to our previous range of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion. We anticipate coming in slightly below the midpoint of our previously disclosed guidance range, primarily due to small headwinds around Medicaid redetermination and the rolling off of our previously mentioned client. We still remain very confident in our ability to continue to grow in the 20% to 30% range.
We expect adjusted EBITDA to be between $135 million and $150 million, compared to our previous range of $120 million to $160 million. We continue to see utilization trends being stable across our at-risk book of business because of the unique capabilities of our clinical model and some initial conservatism. We expect to come in on the upper half of our previously disclosed guidance range, as well as within our target at scale EBITDA margins even as we expand into new regions and grow value-based care membership. In regards to earnings per diluted share, we expect to be between $1.10 and $1.20, compared to our previous range of $0.95 to $1.20.
In conclusion, we're pleased with our financial performance growth partnerships and capital deployment during the third quarter, further demonstrating our platform's ability to continue to execute on 3 key operational goals: growing our membership in core and new geographies, empowering our Care Delivery and Care Partners providers to successfully move down the glide path towards value-based care, and enabling our providers to deliver excellent patient outcomes in order to effectively manage risk.
The CFC transaction further diversifies our membership mix and provides us a pathway to expand our value-based care exposure. The ApolloMed platform provides a highly differentiated, pure-play, value-based care company that is profitable, growing rapidly and yields profitable and sustainable growth. We made meaningful progress in all 3 areas, and we'll continue to use this road map as we close out the year, having established a solid foundation for continued growth in 2024.
Brandon and I want to thank you all for your time today. We're always open to a dialogue with investors and welcome visitors to our offices in Alhambra, should any of you be in the L.A. area.
With that, operator, let's open it up for Q&A.
[Operator Instructions] And we'll take our first question from Ryan Daniels from William Blair.
Congrats on all the momentum. Brandon, maybe one for you. Strategically, it just seems like a bevy of partnerships and the acquisition are all coming together here towards year-end. And I'm curious to hear your view on what's driving that. Obviously, some of these are prior partnerships moving to more integrated relationship. But what's really driving such strong momentum over the last few months in driving your partnership growth?
Ryan, thank you so much for joining the call today, and thanks for the kind words. I think we've -- we're really seeing a lot of momentum across all aspects of the business, organically in terms of kind of same provider member panel growth, organically in terms of number of partnerships we're signing with provider groups and other entities such as the Wider Circle partnership of course, a larger acquisition that was announced today.
I think the way I would characterize it is that, these are partnerships we've been working on throughout the year. I think it happened to land in this quarter, and we decided to announce them all at the same time here. As I mentioned earlier in my prepared remarks, I think we have a very strong pipeline for even further partnerships, potentially, even for the class of 2024. And so I don't think there's anything necessarily special about this quarter. These are longer-term things that we've been working on and we're glad to be able to announce them today.
Okay. That's great. And then with the pending transaction, you mentioned you'll have RKK for Medicaid. I know you already had one with the FYB deal before. Are those different licenses, meaning, do you need separate ones to run Medicaid and Commercial and Medicare in the state so that this actually does expand your risk-bearing capabilities?
Yes. So in terms of the Restricted Knox-Keene licenses, which all my comments here are going to be pending regulatory approval of the transaction, of course. There are actually separate licenses necessary or at least separate approvals necessary for each line of business and each health plan in each county. And so while the plan was always to expand our existing license into new counties, I mean, to new payer relationships. This will drastically accelerate the process, we believe, again, pending regulatory approval to take on full risk for Medicaid populations across California.
That's helpful. And then maybe one financial, and I'll hop off and save the rest for later. But just in regards to the expanded credit line, I know it's up to $700 million. You have just over $200 million in long-term debt. Is that all part of that revolver, meaning effectively, you have $500 million available? Or is there a different structure to that $200 million plus debt that's already outstanding?
Ryan, yes, you're correct. The $180 million is today, is part of the $400 million facility which has now been expanded to $700 million.
And we'll take our next question from Brooks O'Neil from Lake Street Capital.
I guess I'll follow on with Ryan. As you guys, I think, know I'm particularly excited about the opportunity you have to take on the global risk through the RKK. And I'm just curious, obviously, Brandon just said the opportunity exists now to go after Medicaid full risk. But can you give us any update on what's going on with regard to the Medicare license that I think you acquired up in San Francisco, and whether you've had any success beginning to think about moving those capabilities across the state?
Brooks, thank you for joining the call. It's great to hear your voice again. And thank you, Ryan, for the questions earlier. So Brooks, I ran your question on the existing Restricted Knox-Keene, FYB. We've continued to expand the geographies, the counties in California, where it's able to take on full risk for Medicare populations, and there've been several new contracts with payers that we signed since the last time we've conversed here on a quarterly call, and we continue to see good momentum in terms of getting our Medicare Advantage book of business into full-risk arrangements by next year.
Yes. That's great. And then I think it was Chan who said that utilization has been stable. One of the big themes we've been hearing from people around the United States has been sort of strong procedure activity and growth. No one's quite sure exactly what it's all about, a rebound from the pandemic lockdowns and whatnot or some other phenomenon. But would you say that your stable utilization is a manifestation of the success of your business model and your approach to value-based care? Or can you just talk about what you're seeing out there in your markets and how you responded to it?
Sure thing. We've seen fairly stable utilization and MCR trends across the business in totality. Of course, there are slight movements up and down based on line of business because we are a diversified business across government and commercial programs. But overall, on both inpatient and outpatient side, of utilization. We believe that our unique care model is -- has always been focused on providing access, and we aren't seeing a large "rebound", so to speak, in terms of utilization in this quarter. And that kind of showed in terms of our ability to continue delivering the financial results that we expected.
Yes, that's great. And congratulations on continued success.
Thank you, Brooks.
And next, we'll go to Adam Ron from Bank of America.
I think going on what folks were saying, I know you don't guide quarterly, but it seems like versus the consensus estimates, EBITDA outperformed significantly and even if you just look seasonally the cost of care line was down sequentially more than it usually -- sometimes even up. And so I'm taking that to mean that there was actually MLR outperformance or at least, like you're accruing something more positively it seems, relative to like 2022 or 2023 expectations. Is that right? Or is there not anything really to call out on -- from a lot of the outperformance?
Adam, the main item I'd highlight is, in Q1 and Q2, with the limited data that we have around ACO, we -- it's really breakeven. And so in Q3, we had a slight ACO true-up. And that's number one. Number two, our Managed Care business, MCR was stable, and those 2 things together have led to this quarter.
Okay. Yes, because it was just a significant outperformance versus consensus and the guidance increase was pretty minimal. And so I guess, is there anything in Q4 that you're kind of worried about or assuming some big step up in utilization? Or is it really just the Street was mismodeling?
Please, go ahead.
As you'll see historically, Q4 for us are usually relatively quiet. It is -- we don't necessarily have the same level of quality bonuses or any type of shared risk true-ups. And so as you can see from our guidance, we do expect Q4 to be in line with what you've seen in historical years.
No problem. And on the revenue guidance cut due to Medicaid redeterminations, is there any margin implications of losing enough membership that it would actually impact your revenue guidance? And would you continue that pressure to extend into 2024, both on the revenue side? And are you building anything on margins?
So for every 3 Medicaid members that through redetermination are leaving the organization. One is reenrolling, is what we're seeing in an exchange product. And so in terms of margin, the net margin impact is quite minimal, I'd say it's on an annualized basis, probably $1 million to $1.5 million. In terms of revenue, as you saw from our decrease in guidance, that is probably more of an impact where on an annualized basis, it's in the $5 million to $10 million range for 2024.
That's helpful. And then the APC share buyback. Was that purely motivated by the tax implications that you mentioned? Or did they want to sell? Or did you go to them? I'm just like curious what drove that and if the plan is to buyback all the shares and if that's necessary to reach your tax rate targets?
Adam. I'll take this question around the APC share buyback, which was around just approximately $100 million of value. There are a couple of reasons. The first is that, as you know, from the last quarter, we were experiencing elevated levels of taxation due to essentially filing separately and not being a consolidated tax entity.
Part of the reason is to, as Chan mentioned earlier, to solve for that. But I think regardless of that, we are very optimistic and I think that there is a great amount of potential ahead in terms of the pipeline opportunities we've been signing, the way we've been deploying our capital and the continued strength that we're seeing in our clinical models. And we felt that this was a good time to exercise that $100 million buyback.
I appreciate the questions. My last one would be, when you guided for the peer, you gave basically flat EBITDA guidance at the midpoint, with the rationale being that there was like Medicaid redetermination headwinds and reinvestments into growth. And so for next year? Are there any major moving pieces that we should consider, I guess, Medicaid redeterminations will continue. The RKK license should be somewhat lifting revenue. It sounds like on the MA side, at least, there are some deals closing. And so other than those, are there any moving pieces we should be considering?
Yes, of course. So I think business continues to be quite strong. We don't anticipate a huge variations in medical cost ratio next year either. Of course, we haven't put out official 2024 guidance, so we will certainly update the market when that happens. But given the amount of new partnerships that we've already signed, 5 for the year, a few in the pipeline and the acquisition of CFC and continued seeing provider growth, we're quite optimistic that EBITDA will continue to grow at a healthy clip and perhaps even more at a higher rate than it did this year relative to last.
As you remember, you may remember, Adam, this year, there was a bit of a harsh comp in terms of the onetime next-gen ACO payment in Q3 of last year. And the rest of the business has grown tremendously, which will continue to happen and that comp is not expected to be there for the next year.
And we'll take our next question from David Larsen from BTIG.
Relative to our model, the gross profit really beat our estimate. Can you maybe just talk a little bit more about your -- the utilization you're seeing, the cost of services. It sounds like there was an ACO true-up. What does that mean? Does that mean that the actual claims cost came in lower than expected? Or did you get some sort of an incentive payment from CMS in the quarter? Just any more color there would be very helpful. And more importantly, do you expect that trend to continue into next year?
David, great to hear from you. Yes. Thanks so much for the question. So in terms of our MCR, I'll start with ACO. What we're seeing on ACO is that we have more data really to evaluate the performance of the program in 2023. And we were able to true up where we were coming in, in costs for the first 3 months of the year relative to where we were in Q1 and Q2, which was really breakeven.
In terms of our overall Managed Care business, as we've mentioned before, we -- due to our unique clinical model as well that really provides access and quality, and we're continuing to see stable institutional metrics. Both of those put together have really led to that strong performance. Lastly, also, would want to mention we saw strong sweeps payments in Q3 associated with our Medicare Advantage members.
Okay. Great. That's very helpful. And then as some of these acquisitions and partnerships roll into the Care Partners division of the business, I'm assuming that since they were already Care Enablement clients. You have very good visibility into the membership, their utilization trends, the premium dollars, the margins on each member. So it's not like there's going to be an increase in costs as you try to stabilize these newer members like we see in some other business models, they're already sort of well-known and well managed to you. Is that correct?
David, Brandon here. Thanks for the question. You're absolutely correct. For the for the clinics, for example, that we acquired the 5 clinics that are moving into our Care Delivery segment, there will be some minor implementation integration costs, but very, very minor, but we expect those to be accretive day 1, because of the length of the relationship that we've developed over time in the Care Enablement segment.
For the larger groups, CFC, for example, in Advantage Health Network, who are already Care Enablement clients, we absolutely expect to also see that synergy. Those providers are all already onboarded onto the technology platform. There will not be additional incremental cost or time associated with getting them onto the platform, and we have a very good line of sight into all those metrics that you mentioned, and how we can best take care or assist them, empower them to take care of their patient panels. And so we view that as a very -- we view that as part of the synergy of having all 3 business segments, and it gives us kind of a much more shallow J-curve, so to speak.
Okay. Great. That's very helpful. And then do you have any initial thoughts on 2024, we'll call it like Medicare premiums or reimbursement that you expect to see from the docs, from CMS. There's been a lot of noise around RADV audits, lower premium increases in '24 relative to the increase that was seen in 2023. And there's a lot of adjustments that are going on in terms of like risk stratification. Just any thoughts or color there? Do you expect an increase in dollars coming from CMS on a per member basis in '24 relative to '23?
Of course, there has been a lot of noise, of course, lately around reimbursement rates, RADV 28 and other reimbursement items, stars as well. I think overall, we are navigating through this in a couple of ways. One, we continue to use our scaled platform to ensure that we have solid contracts with our payer partners, where I'm helping to manage their quality, stars and risk adjustment better than others, relatively speaking. And we think there's a lot of value we're providing to payers such that we are more than "paying off" kind of the types of contracts that we have with payers.
In addition, in terms of RADV, as we've spoken about before, we don't think we'll be impacted significantly, if at all. We've -- our average risk score is still fairly low across our Medicare Advantage population, around 1.0, which is the national average. And we don't think we've been particularly aggressive, especially when doing analysis on the actual HCCs that we've been going for in the past. So we don't expect a headwind from RADV either. I think overall, we are not foreseeing headwinds in terms of Medicare premiums, PMPM for our patients going into 2024.
Okay. That's very helpful. And then just one last quick one. If we assume Medicaid is around 24% of revenue, let's say, 15% of Medicaid lives are redetermined. In total, that seems like it's maybe around 4% of revenue for Apollo Medical spread over, say, 2 years, which would be maybe 1% or 2% of impact in revenue annually for Medicaid redetermination to you guys. Does that sound reasonable or not? I mean, it doesn't really sound that material to me.
Yes. I think your structure, David, is spot on. I don't think we're seeing the level of redetermination in terms of the 15% range.
Okay.
I would probably assume maybe half of that.
Okay. So the drag for Medicaid redetermination will be even far lower than what I had initially said?
Yes.
Okay. All right. Super. Congrats on a good quarter.
[Operator Instructions] And we'll take our next question from Gary Taylor from TD Cowen.
I had 2 quick questions. One, the midpoint of the EBITDA guidance of about $2.5 million, is it fair to think that's roughly the magnitude of the ACO true-up in the quarter? Or would you steer us materially differently from that?
I think it's more than just an ACO true-up. We are experiencing very strong overall sweeps payments. So I'd say that's number one. Number two, it is the MA RKKs and membership moving to those MA RKKs. And number 3, is the ACO that you mentioned. And of course, we're seeing and we've mentioned this before, we are continuing to invest in new market development. I'd say our new market development overall, I think we'd said about $5 million to $10 million per market, those investments are coming in at the lower end of the range.
Got it. And then my other question would be just a follow-up on redeterminations. The Medicaid MCOs are -- seeing either -- you can either call it adverse selection or higher acuity and they claim that the states are giving them positive acuity adjustments in their rates to account for the remaining population.
I was just wondering, do your contracts for the professional fee risk that you're taking from the Medicaid MCOs, do they just automatically flow through any sort of rate increase like that, that the state is giving to the managed care plan upstream?
Yes, we're definitely -- sorry, go ahead, Brandon.
I'll start quickly. I was going to say, our contracts are rate adjusted. And depending on the contract increases in premiums could also pass through to us as a percentage of the premium that we're taking for either professional or full risk.
In terms of our planned and announced acquisition of Community Family Care Medical Group and their RKK license in order to take on full risk in terms of Medicaid in California. We believe that allows us to move our membership, as I mentioned earlier, across the entire Medicaid business into both kind of taking on both professional and institutional risk in a full risk setting, which will also help us blunt some of the impact of professional rates being kind of fixed even as acuity potentially slightly upwards after redetermination.
[Operator Instructions] There are no further questions at this time. I'll turn the call back to Brandon Sim, for closing remarks.
Thank you, everyone, for joining our earnings call for quarter 3, this afternoon, or this evening. We're very excited about the potential to work together with many new partners that we announced this quarter. We think these results are reflective of our ability to build relationships locally, but very shortly as well nationally. And we're very excited about the momentum that the business has going forward. Thank you again for joining the call. We'll speak to you all soon. Have a good evening.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's teleconference. We thank you for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and have a great day.
