According to the report, the healthcare provider said a spike in Medicaid admissions has contributed to more than 75 percent of its admissions growth in the third quarter, and it also recorded below-average levels of Medicare acuity in July and August.

Tenet expects its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to be near the lower end of its $1.18 billion to $1.28 billion target.
