Takeda Exits LatAm Portfolio

Takeda Exits LatAm Portfolio

The Pharmaceutical sector, once a powerhouse of billion-dollar M&A activity, has been relatively quiet in recent years. One exception was Takeda Pharmaceutical’s (NYSE: TAK) takeover of Shire plc in 2018 for $81.5 billion. In March, the Japanese drug maker was back again, although on the sell-side. Takeda announced the sale of a portfolio of select non-core products exclusively in Latin America, including over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceutical products sold in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru. The buyer was Brazil’s largest pharmaceutical company, Hypera S.A., with a leading position in branded prescriptions, consumer health and... Read More »

Bristol Hospice Trades with Healthy Living

Bristol Hospice Trades with Healthy Living

Despite the challenges of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model and the Covid-19 pandemic, March is usually a good month for mergers and acquisitions in the Home Health & Hospice sector. To date, seven deals are on the books for the month and 19 for the first quarter. Two deals involved Bristol Hospice and Healthy Living Network, LLC, which traded assets in some western states. Salt Lake City-based Bristol Hospice, a portfolio company of Webster Equity Partners, paid an undisclosed sum for Healthy Living Network’s Sojourn Hospice & Palliative Care, which runs eight programs in Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Freso, East Bay, San Jose, Modesto, Redding and San Diego.

PE-Backed Coronis Health Acquires RCM Provider

PE-Backed Coronis Health Acquires RCM Provider

In the eHealth sector, acquisitions for revenue cycle management (RCM) firms are usually headline-worthy deals, such as Frazier Healthcare Partners’ $250 million purchase of MedData, Inc. from Mednax (NYSE: MD) back in October 2019. RCM companies tend to service hospitals, large health systems and healthcare providers. MedData, for instance, serves more than 10,000 physicians in a network of more than 3,000 facilities nationwide. However, Coronis Health focuses on something more niche. A portfolio company of 424 Capital (formerly known as Brook Venture Partners), Coronis Health announced last week it acquired Reliabill, LLC, an RCM provider to the behavioral health market, focusing...

Caregiver Expands With Four New Providers

Caregiver Expands With Four New Providers

The spread of Covid-19 has forced most healthcare companies to hit pause on their M&A activity, especially those in the services sectors. Hospitals are overwhelmed and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued guidelines that all elective surgeries, non-essential medical, surgical and dental procedures be delayed, which are likely to stifle physician groups’ revenue flow. However, some companies have proved to be resilient in the pandemic. Caregiver Inc., a behavioral healthcare company, is one example. It provides services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Since 2015, Caregiver has expanded rapidly, building its network across... Read More »
