Speaker(s)
Description
Who knew that when we last gathered in October 2019 discussing home health and hospice mergers and acquisitions that we were just a few months away from one of those “assuming nothing out of the ordinary” qualifiers actually upending the market as we knew it? A pandemic, three vaccines, a new administration, and trillions of dollars of new federal spending later, where is the market today, and where is it heading? Why did hospice valuations rise to unprecedented levels, and what could rein them in? How did PDGM part one and part deux impact home health deal flow, and what can we expect heading into 2022? How will strains on state budgets impact Medicaid reimbursement and eligibility? What impact will PTSD born shortages of nurse staffing have on providers? Are the reasons driving consolidation pre-COVID still relevant? In this session, we will break it all down, and what it means for buyers, sellers, acquisition supply, demand, and ultimately, valuation.
