  • HEALTHCARE TRANSACTIONS: Year in Review
    HEALTHCARE TRANSACTIONS: Year in Review JANUARY 2018 NASHVILLE KNOXVILLE MEMPHIS WASHINGTON DC bassberry.com OVERVIEW On December 3, 2017, CVS Health Corp. (NYSE: CVS) announced it would purchase health insurer Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET) for $67.5 billion, a transaction that would be one of the biggest healthcare mergers in the past decade. The proposed deal would combine the largest U.S. drugstore chain with one of the country’s largest health insurers. Although consolidation is not a new trend in healthcare, the merger between CVS and Aetna would present a new type of framework, a vertically consolidated company that offers healthcare services through CVS’s pharmacies, Minute Clinics and pharmacy benefit manager services, while also providing managed care services to Aetna’s millions of plan members. The transaction raises an intriguing question: is this the beginning of a transformational shift in healthcare? With 2017’s failure of the proposed horizontal mergers between health insurance giants still fresh, the CVS–Aetna deal could be the first of many cross-sector mergers. Indeed, only a few days after the announcement, UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH), the largest U.S. health insurer, announced that it would expand its OptumCare business by acquiring approximately 300 physician practices from DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA). If the CVS-Aetna deal is in fact the beginning of a new era, the integration of different healthcare sectors and service lines would be a possible response to the government’s emphasis on value-based care, and could serve

  • Changes in Hospital Ownership in California
    Changes in Hospital Ownership in California ••• Joanne Spetz Jean Ann Seago Shannon Mitchell 1999 PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA Foreword Californians are understandably concerned about rapid changes in the health care industry. One concern that has prompted state legislation is the increased merger activity between for-profit and nonprofit hospitals. Many critics view the potential decline of nonprofit hospitals as another restriction on choice in health care. In response to this concern, Joanne Spetz and her colleagues Jean Ann Seago and Shannon Mitchell have undertaken a careful study of the state’s hospital mergers and their consequences. Their findings indicate that nonprofit hospitals are in no danger of extinction. About 80 percent of hospital mergers and acquisitions between 1986 and 1996 did not involve any change in the profit status of the hospitals. The remaining mergers were almost equally divided between conversions to for-profit and to nonprofit status. Although these mergers have not altered the overall balance between for-profit and nonprofit hospitals, they have raised new concerns about the concentration of hospital ownership in California. At least half of the iii state’s hospitals are now affiliated with multi-site hospital corporations, and the six largest firms in the state operate over one-third of its hospitals. The three largest hospital firms in both Sacramento and San Diego control more than 60 percent of the beds. Although hospital ownership is less concentrated in the Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas, both markets are far more consolidated than they were ten years ago. With these patterns in mind, the authors plan to continue their study of ownership changes and their consequences.
