Q2 2024 Emergency Medicine Services Update

M&A activity within the Emergency Medicine Services (EMS) sector was modest this quarter with urgent care as a continued focal area. A potential factor for the decrease in transaction volume could be attributed to the upstart Senate investigation into the operations of PE-backed emergency departments. A Senate committee has asked three PE firms, Apollo Global Management, the Blackstone Group, and KKR for information on operations of their platforms due to concerns regarding quality of patient care.

With increased regulatory scrutiny, PE groups are interested in gaining exposure to the segment through urgent care rather than ER. The urgent care space is continuing to experience calculated investments in suburban and rural providers that enhance care availability in medically underserved communities. Xpress Wellness, an urgent care provider in rural communities, was especially active this quarter, emphasizing the focus on secondary and tertiary markets.
