📰 Big news this morning for UnitedHealth Group and the market agrees as the stock is flat on a day when major indexes are down across the board. This gives them some time to digest the new landscape post IRA along with the situation PBM legislation (new regulatory environment on M&A) while also taking a wait and see approach to Medicare Advantage reimbursement trends. 👵 The Amedisys acquisition was set to expand its presence in home health, hospice, and palliative care. With its 519 care centers—346 dedicated to Home Health, 164 to Hospice, and 9 to Palliative Care—Amedisys would have been a powerful addition to Optum ecosystem (LHC Group) 🇺🇸 Would have been particularly good in states like Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida, where UnitedHealthcare’s Medicare Advantage membership already thrives with 2.5 million Medicare Advantage members. However, despite the collapse of the deal, it’s worth reflecting on why this space remains so critical: 🏠 Home Health Market Opportunity: Estimated at $132 billion annually in the U.S. 🛌 Hospice/Palliative Care Market Opportunity: Estimated at $32 billion annually. 🔑 Key Competitors in Home Health Market Share: 1. Kindred - 6% share (Humana/CenterWell Home Health owns 40% stake) 2. Amedisys - 5% share 3. LHC Group - 4% share (Acquired by Optum in February 2023) 4. Encompass Health - 3.9% share 5. AccentCare Hospice & Palliative Care - 1.7% share 6. BAYADA Home Health Care - 1.4% share (Non-Profit) 7. Brookdale Senior living Solutions - 1.2% share 🧓As the aging baby boomer population drives demand for home-based care, and advancements in healthcare technology make care delivery more efficient, home health and hospice will remain key battlegrounds for organizations like UnitedHealth, Humana and others. 👩⚖️ This deal faced intense scrutiny from the outset and was ultimately challenged by attorneys general from four states over concerns about anticompetitive practices so this was not a huge surprise 16 months later. ❓ The question remains: Will Optum pivot to another acquisition target or double down on scaling its existing assets while it waits to evaluate the new regulatory and reimbursement environment under President Elect Trump next year? #healthcare

Hmmm...ED physicians who are more likely to admit a patient have a higher likelihood of those patients being discharged within 24 hours. Also, if you show up in an ED, you have a 4 in 10 chance of being admitted. Seem like an opportunity for additional consistency in admission decisions. Thoughts?
