Question · Q3 2025
Carl Burns asked about the revised timeline for new hospital startups to reach break-even, considering the history and success of the IDR process, and inquired about opportunities to acquire existing hospitals similar to the Homer G. Phillips project.
Answer
CFO Jon Bates stated that while IDR success improves profitability, the break-even timeline for startups is still budgeted at 12-15 months, potentially shifting by a quarter, due to the 5-7 month payment cycle for IDR claims. CEO Tom Vo confirmed the Homer G. Phillips Hospital in St. Louis is set to open by year-end, and Nutex Health is actively seeking to acquire existing hospitals that meet their strategic criteria, though such opportunities are rare.
