Healthcare PE - Advice Needed
Hi WSO - I'm currently an AN2 at a top BB who participated in on-cycle ~a month ago and signed with the healthcare team of an UMM / MF buyout firm.
While I'm excited and grateful for the opportunity, I'm worried about the transition from consumer / tech to HC. I don't have a HC background, and was wondering what the best primers / resources were for catching up to speed before starting next summer.
Specifically, I understand that within HC there are many verticals (pharma, services, devices, etc.), but many HC PE firms focus on services-type companies. What are the best resources here?
Thank you!
Just try and get a broad understanding of how the continuum of care works in the United States. Understand how payers (insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid), providers (hospitals and care providers), patients, and everyone else in the value chain (conveners, healthcare IT / EHR) interact.
Do some reading on evolution of value-based care and Medicare Advantage, telehealth, and home health. Try and understand how all these interact and evolve along the shift to value-based care from the current fee-for-service platform.
Unlikely you'll do any pharma stuff b/c 99% of pharma M&A is done by strategics, but just generally understand clinical trials and the idea of "probability of success-adjusted revenue."
Great response. I would also add that there are elements of your tech experience that might carry over. Eg use of ML/AI in diagnostic imaging or use of consumer devices to assist with continuous monitoring of patients in in-home settings.
