Q1 2024 Emergency Medicine Services Update

Strategic consolidators led M&A activity this last quarter, with urgent care as a focal area. Health systems and payors have emphasized urgent care given the potential for referrals to upstream specialty providers and its lower cost in comparison to an emergency room. As urgent care volumes normalize after peak Covid-19 volumes, we expect investors to circle back to the segment, especially opportunities in secondary and tertiary markets with less urgent care saturation.

 

Interest remains in the transportation and logistics space given the critical need for these services in communities throughout the US, especially as healthcare continues its push towards efficiency and lower costs. Lastly, the emergency department management space saw less consolidation as many historical consolidators have struggled with operational challenges and increased interest rates. While we expect consolidation to continue, we expect it to be smaller scale transactions rather than large mergers that may attract regulatory scrutiny.
