The higher net income total comes as Kaiser boosted its total revenue 6 percent to $53.1 billion. Kaiser’s operating income in FY 2013, which ended Dec. 31, totaled $1.8 billion, giving the integrated system an operating margin of 3.4 percent.
“In 2013, we maintained a consistent operating income as a percent of revenue; it is at a level that allows us to continue making investments in the facilities, technology and care advances that meet the needs of our members, customers and communities,” said Kaiser CFO Kathy Lancaster said in a news release.
As of Dec. 31, Kaiser had 9.1 million health plan members, a vast majority residing in California, and encompassed almost 17,000 physicians. Kaiser also operates 38 acute-care hospitals and more than 600 medical offices and outpatient facilities.
