Eric K. Steen, chief executive officer of InfuSystem, said, “The financial results of the third quarter of 2016 were impacted by many factors, several which were one-time events. Our world changed quickly when in April 2016, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) instituted industry wide changes to the reimbursement process for Medicare patients utilizing at-home ambulatory pumps for oncology treatments. We responded quickly and took 1,800 infusion clinics to a direct bill to the provider business model, all while rolling out a new IT system and continuing to run two Medicare processes, as we continued to bill for treatments prior to July 1, 2016. We took the opportunity to put a number of things behind us as a result of changes in the market and in our internal processes. We had one-time non-recurring costs of approximately $1 million in the quarter. Additionally, as we closed the third quarter, we noticed a formula error related to our revenue recognition estimation model, which was announced on November 7, 2016. As a result, with the assistance of independent outside professionals, we restated our financial results for 2015 and the first and second quarters of 2016. We are confident that we have taken the necessary steps to correct and implement the appropriate internal controls to strengthen our financial reporting.”
