Home Medical Equipment

While deal volume in HME has trailed off since 2021, demand for the best quality providers remains strong

After more than three decades of consolidation, the number of available acquisition targets in the home medical equipment sector has significantly declined. The silver lining? Strong competition for the most desirable opportunities when they do become available.

Client Success Stories

Hospital System Engages The Braff Group to Find Best Fit and Best Value for Its HME Division

Ohio Health, a large not-for-profit hospital system decided to divest its home medical equipment operations. While price was important, its primary goal was to select a buyer that not only would ensure the continuity of care of its patients, but one that reflected the values of the health system. While we presented the opportunity to a broad selection of potential acquirers, we identified two highly regarded, sizeable, regional providers with strong ties to the communities it serves that we were confident could meet the system’s financial and non-financial requirements. In the end, it was one of these companies that eventually prevailed and acquired the operations.

Braff Successfully Completes Complex Deal After Wall Street Firm Fails

American Homecare Supply, a subsidiary of industrial gas provider Air Products, was an extremely active consolidator of independent respiratory and home medical equipment providers. Air Products eventually decided to divest AHS, characterizing the subsidiary as a discontinued operation, which meant the firm needed to be divested within one year. They engaged a Wall Street investment banking firm, which mistakenly attempted to sell the business in one transaction to a single buyer. Having failed to secure a buyer, AHS engaged The Braff Group to complete a divestiture in six months. Recognizing the need to break up the business into multiple “parcels,” we eventually sold the company to nine different buyers in nine transactions, meeting our client’s deadline.

Home Medical Equipment Managing Director

"...The Braff Group distinguished themselves with deep expertise in the HME sector...They took the time to understand us, including our health system partnerships, culture, and long-range vision. Braff anticipated challenges before they arose, kept all parties aligned, and provided the steady counsel we needed to move forward with confidence. They served as a resource for our board and legal counsel... Pat would typically respond to a “got a minute?” text with a phone call within minutes. More than just a financial deal, this was about ensuring Hart Medical’s future and expanding our ability to serve patients and health systems across the region. Braff’s expertise and commitment were key to making that outcome possible."
