Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 7, 2014, HCA Holdings, Inc. issued a press release announcing a proposed public offering by its wholly owned subsidiary, HCA Inc., of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

In connection with the offering, a preliminary prospectus supplement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2014. The preliminary prospectus supplement includes the following updated information regarding regulatory matters:

On October 1, 2014, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (“THHSC”) issued a notice to hospitals participating in a Texas Medicaid waiver program. The waiver, from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), allows the state to receive federal matching Medicaid funds for certain local government/hospital affiliations. According to the notice, a review conducted by CMS identified some of these affiliations it believes may be inconsistent with the waiver. As a result of these findings, CMS notified THHSC that it is deferring the federal portion of the Medicaid payments associated with these affiliations. THHSC stated that it intends to work closely with CMS in connection with this review with the goal of resolving the matter. Because these discussions are ongoing, we are unable to estimate the financial impact that this review may have on our results of operations.
