Private equity acquisitions of hospices are increasing; ownership remains opaque

Article indépendant

ALDRIDGE, Melissa D. | HUNT, Lauren J. | HALLORAN, Zelle | HARRISON, Krista L.

Private equity ownership across the US health care system is rapidly increasing, yet ownership structures are complex and opaque. We used an economic data set tracking mergers and acquisitions linked to Medicare data to identify private equity hospice acquisitions. Given the influence of for-profit ownership on hospice quality, transparent data on private equity investment are fundamental to ensuring high-quality end-of-life care.
