PE-Backed Phoenix Rehabilitation Adds New Clinic

Phoenix Rehabilitation and Health Services Inc. has been on an acquisition spree since Audax Group acquired the group in December 2018. The rehabilitation firm has reported three deals since then, growing at a steady pace across the country. The partnership first reported a deal last September, acquiring Black Mountain Physical Therapy in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Black Mountain offers a range of treatment including skilled manual therapies, therapeutic exercises, and neuromuscular reeducation to treat biomechanical and structural problems.

2019’s Biggest Healthcare Deals, by Sector

2019’s Biggest Healthcare Deals, by Sector

by | Jan 6, 2020 11:55 am | Behavioral Health Care, Biotechnology, eHealth, Home Health & Hospice, Hospitals, Laboratories, MRI & Dialysis, Long-Term Care, Managed Care, Medical Devices, Other Services, Pharmaceuticals, Physician Medical Groups, Rehabilitation

2020 has just begun, which means it’s time to look back at the healthcare M&A landscape of 2019. Just three days into the new year, nearly 1,780 deals are already on the books for 2019. More deals will turn up as we search our many sources, but the number likely won’t top the record of 1,900-plus set in 2018. Thanks to the multi-billion-dollar deals announced in the Biotech and Pharmaceutical sectors, 2019 will set a new spending record. Preliminary data show $399.1 billion was spent on healthcare acquisitions last year, about 20% higher than in 2018. We expect that number to rise as we go through the year and the 10Ks and quarterly reports come out. It’s possible the... Read More »

PE Firms Move the Needle in the Rehab Market

by | Oct 28, 2019 2:12 pm | Private Equity, Rehabilitation

It’s been a quiet year in the Rehabilitation M&A market, at least through October. There have been 27 deals announced that targeted rehabilitation facilities only, a decline of 37% compared with the 43 deals announced in the full year of 2018. True, that’s 10 months in 2019 versus all 12 in 2018, but we’re not expecting a rash of deal announcements between now and December 31. Activity in this sector has been dropping since its peak in 2017, with 49 transactions. Onc factor may be the October 1 launch of the CMS’ new rule, the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM), which changes reimbursement and regulations on rehabilitation in skilled nursing facilities and...
