I continue to be concerned with the amount of investment insurers are making in providers. So far there is no evidence that this reduces costs or improves outcomes so call me skeptical about Elevance invest $4B. Even worse this is a joint venture with Private Equity who are notorious for prioritizing profits over patients. Lastly, this is a "risk" arrangement where there is downside risk for providers and they appear to be focused on chronic patients. More perpetuation of the "sick-care" model? I would suggest the Fed's need to take a look at this deal, but it appears that is already happening. It's not a great sign about the trajectory of healthcare when the FTC, DOJ, and HHS have to develop a portal dedicated to healthcare Mergers & Acquisitions, but at least someone is taking notice. https://lnkd.in/geXpKTrU

https://lnkd.in/ea9qBvf9 Takeaway: Mergers and acquisitions involving hospitals and other health care providers are drawing attention from federal and state regulators, including the Federal Trade Commission, and policymakers amid concerns that such consolidations can reduce competition and contribute to the high costs of health care. Following a wave of consolidation in the early- and mid-1990s, there were 1,573 hospital mergers from 1998 to 2017 and another 428 hospital and health system mergers announced from 2018 to 2023. The share of physicians working for a hospital or in a practice owned at least partially by a hospital or health system increased from 29% in 2012 to 41% in 2022. In addition, a growing share of physician practices are owned by other corporate entities, including insurance companies.

Empowering Rehab Practices: Specializing in Mergers and Acquisitions for Physical Therapy Clinics. Helping Practice Owners Explore Growth Opportunities or Exit Strategies
With so many physical therapy and rehab mergers happening, transparency in how these deals affect patient care is crucial. 🏥 - Quality treatment ensures patients' health and recovery, which is the core goal of healthcare. - Satisfied patients boost a provider's reputation, attracting more clients and increasing financial stability. - Patient feedback helps improve treatments and services, leading to better care and sustained financial viability. Mergers and acquisitions in healthcare should prioritize continued focus on patient outcomes alongside business growth. It's important to make sure these changes not only improve the quality of care, but build strong relationships within the healthcare community.
