A healthcare services capital raise

Healthcare services raises turn on reimbursement and compliance. Show payer mix and contracts, licensure for every site, a compliance program covering federal fraud and abuse laws, and how patient data is protected. Never upload patient-identifiable data, and plan for state transaction notice rules.

Raises by sector

How this raise works

Physician practices, behavioral health providers, home health, dental and vision groups, and other care businesses raise from healthcare private equity, growth funds and family offices. Many raises are minority growth investments or recapitalizations rather than venture rounds.

Payer mix drives value. Investors read commercial payer contracts, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment and rates, billing and coding audits, and collections data. Federal fraud and abuse rules, including the Anti-Kickback Statute and the physician self-referral (Stark) law, shape how physicians are paid and how referrals flow, so compensation arrangements get close review. Some states limit who can own medical practices.

A growing number of states require notice to, or review by, state agencies before certain healthcare transactions close, which can add weeks. Patient data is protected under HIPAA, so diligence materials should use de-identified or aggregate data.

Payer mix and contracts, revenue cycle, licensure, the compliance program, provider arrangements, privacy and security, and state ownership rules.
