Healthcare Payors, Plans, and Specialty Services
The flattening of the traditional healthcare market poses challenges for payors in the
areas of pricing discipline, acquisition integration, diversification, regulation, and
consumerism. Simultaneously the specialty sub-sector of healthcare is experiencing a
coming-of-age and, with it, the common challenges of a maturing industry, including mergers and
acquisitions, the need for cost containment, and pressure to create operational
efficiency.
Our specialists understand the pressures affecting payors and specialty healthcare companies.
Our extensive real estate advisory and transactional experience is drawn from both sides of the
table—our professionals have worked for and on the staff of healthcare organizations. We work
with our clients to increase their profitability by aligning their real estate with
organizational objectives. Our services include strategic portfolio management; benchmarking
& “mark-to-market” studies; risk reduction strategy development, merger and acquisition
integration; transaction management; acquisition due-diligence; economic incentive negotiation;
and logistics and process integration.
Hospital Systems, Healthcare Practices, and Medical/Academic
Properties
Healthcare providers are under pressure to extend their financial resources by reducing
costs and monetizing assets. Sarbanes-Oxley-driven transparency, the trend towards self-pay
