Kevin Hammons: Yeah. We’ve been very fortunate, and I think we’ve managed wages this past two quarters. If you recall, Q1 was closer to 5.5%. Q2 was about 2.8%, Q3, 3%. So we had kind of guided towards about a 5% for the year. We’re currently running averaging all that out, approximately 4% so a little bit below our guide or expectation in terms of wage inflation. Still seeing some pressure in markets around wages. It really differs market-to-market. I would anticipate as we look into 2024, still being a little bit elevated over historical trends and probably, at this point, thinking something in the 4% range is probably more reasonable into 2024 as we obviously will continue to work hard to keep that in check, but also wanting to make sure we’re taking care of our nurse staff and all of our employees for that matter, appropriately.
A.J. Rice: Okay. Thanks a lot.
Operator: The next question is from Jason Cassorla with Citi. Please go ahead.
Jason Cassorla: Great. Thanks. I wanted to ask about Medicaid reimbursement. It just seems that a greater number of states are building out Medicaid supplemental payment programs including the potential one in Mississippi. And I know those program dollars can fluctuate year-to-year in aggregate. But I guess in that context, do you see the Medicaid reimbursement backdrop generally improving? Or how are you thinking about that?
Kevin Hammons: That’s a great question. And I think probably you’ve all have seen a number of reports coming out of Mississippi generally, that would obviously be a positive for us. But those programs do have to go through approval by CMS. And at this point, we have – CMS has not approved what has been submitted by Mississippi. But generally, I think you’re right, there are other states like Texas and Florida as well as some others that have over the past few years have adopted the supplemental payment programs, generally very helpful or helpful for the people to state who are covered by their Medicaid and it does make an adjustment to increase reimbursement for the providers who are providing services for the Medicaid patients. So, we would see this as a positive. But it’s too early to tell at this point on exactly what will be approved and what the quantification of that program will be.
Jason Cassorla: Okay. Fair enough. And I guess just as a follow-up, I wanted to ask about surgeries in the quarter, up about 1% against overall volume of over 4%. It seems like that book, the trends so far this year on surgery is outpacing overall volumes. I guess are you talking that up to a difficult comp. And I know you noted seasonality in your prepared remarks, are there other factors that drove that surgery growth in the quarter? And then just a follow-on to that, you have this 2% to 3% normalized volume outlook over time. I’m curious how you’re thinking about how surgery growth fits into that paradigm just given your investments in high acuity service lines and the investments you’re making in the outpatient setting, too.
Tim Hingtgen: I’ll start with our view on the seasonality impacts in the third quarter. We don’t really see anything other than increased provider and patient vacations that we called out in our opening remarks as being the key driver I think last year, it was a good comp for us. It was a high comp for us. And we made a good surgery performance quarter in the third quarter. So I think it’s really just kind of the timing of people’s vacations. And as we always anticipate, we expect the fourth quarter to be a strong surgery quarter, hopefully, a better commercial mix than that, which is what leads to our confidence in sequential earnings opportunities in the fourth quarter. We’re really pleased, frankly, with our ASC growth strategies, our ambulatory strategies in general for surgery.
We had really good growth in our procedural volumes for cardiac cases, for select surgical specialties like colorectal and spine. So just really pleased with what we saw in our overall numbers. It’s just a more challenging comp that we were facing from prior year.
