Dermatology Deals Keep PE Platforms Growing
The Physician Medical Group sector has been very busy in recent years, as hospitals and health systems acquire local practices that can produce referrals and private equity firms build platforms and make add-on deals. Dermatology practices aren’t coveted by hospitals, so it’s the private equity firms that are doing the collecting. In the first eight weeks of 2018, 17 deals for physician medical groups have been annouced, 10 in Janaury and seven in the first three weeks of February. The usual specialty practices were represented in that mix, with Mednax (NYSE: MD) adding a neonatology practice in California, Minnesota-based not-for-profit Fairview Health Services acquiring a...

CityMD Adds 2 Urgent Care Companies

Q4:2017 Health Care Spending, by Sector and Share
A total of $114.4 billion was spent to fund the 377 transactions reported in Q4:17, based on disclosed prices. The Managed Care sector dominated the dollar side of deal making, accounting for 70% ($80.6 billion) of spending. A single deal accounted for 67% of the quarter’s total, as CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) announced its agreement to acquire Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET) for $77.0 billion (including debt). If that deal doesn’t close, this chart will look very different. The rest of the healthcare sectors were relegated to single-digit shares of the fourth quarter’s spending pie.

Hospital Deals in 2018: 27% for Critical Access Hospitals
2018 is still quite young, as we are writing in mid-February. Fifteen hospital mergers or acquisitions have reached the definitive agreement stage, which is when we consider them far enough along to include in our DealSearchOnline.com database. (If the deal falls apart later in due diligence or other process, it’s removed from the data.) Of the 15 hospital deals announced so far, four (27%) were for stand-alone critical access hospitals (CAHs). That percentage will change, of course, as the year goes on. But consider 2017. Of the 74 U.S. hospital transactions announced, seven (9%) targeted a critical access hospital. For all the discussion of rural and community hospitals seeking... Read More »

Toward that end, the company produced an oncology-specific electronic health record (EHR). It currently partners with more than 265 community cancer clinics, six major academic research centers and 14 out of the top 15 therapeutic oncology companies. Roche already holds a 12.6% stake...
