3. Legal Proceedings.
We
and other participants in the healthcare industry are subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary
course of our business. Descriptions of certain legal proceedings to which we are a party are contained in Note 18 of the Notes
To Consolidated Financial Statements.
From
time to time, in the ordinary course of business and like others in our industry, we receive requests for information from government
agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority. These requests can include subpoenas or demand letters
for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations. We review such requests and notices and take what we believe
to be appropriate action. We have been subject to certain requests for information and investigations in the past and could be
subject to such requests for information and investigations in the future.
