INTELLIGENT DEALMAKING®
IN HEALTH CARE MERGERS & ACQUISTIONS
THE BRAFF GROUP DIFFERENCE IS OUR MARKET IMMERSION STRATEGY
Behavioral Health
Behavioral Health
Behavioral health has quickly become the most sought after sector in health care M&A, with broad-based interest in residential and community based addictions and substance abuse, mental health, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and autism services providers.
Digital Health
Digital Health
Digital Health will be the bridge from fee-for-service to value-based care. With the stakes so high, the demand for – and valuation of – companies with technology-enabled tools to provide the right care, to the right patient, in the right setting, at the right time is extraordinary – and growing.
Home Health, Home Care, and Hospice
Home Health, Home Care, and Hospice
For the first time, every segment in home health and hospice – Medicare, Medicaid, and private duty – are pinging at the same time as buyers seek to build diversified post-acute continuums that address emerging alternative payment models.
Pharmacy
Pharmacy
While Specialty Rx captures the M&A headlines, the demand for traditional Home Infusion Therapy – and its substantially higher margins – far outstrips supply.
Urgent Care
Urgent Care
Although the M&A market for urgent care has softened a little since 2014 and 2015, the breadth of buyers interested in the space – notably hospitals, physician groups, and insurers that see urgent care as a critical gatekeeping mechanism – remains impressive.
Health Care Staffing
Health Care Staffing
As a result of the ACA, more covered beneficiaries have accessed the health care system, stimulating both demand for, and M&A interest in, health care staffing. The looming question? Whether reform initiatives will drive down hospital occupancy rates and blunt the conditions that gave rise to this renaissance of activity.
Home Medical Equipment
Home Medical Equipment
Now that competitive bid-like pricing has been rolled out nationally, the home medical equipment sector may well be entering a period of sustained stability – a period that may provide buyers with just enough go-forward confidence to begin selectively investing in the space again.
Ancillary Services
Ancillary Services
Given our extensive knowledge of the market forces driving health care M&A, we have been entrusted by providers adjacent to our core to lead their divestiture efforts.
“The deal might have “fallen apart” more than once without [your] knowledge, experience and expertise. [The Braff Group] was able to bring parties back to the negotiating table to resume the process, although each party was solidly entrenched in a divergent position.”

You guys have been a pleasure to work with and we would be happy to offer a reference for anyone considering working with your team.”
“I can truthfully say that I could not have expected better service from anyone. All of my phone calls and concerns were promptly answered and I felt that I had someone working for me with my best interest at heart.”
