Farewell to a Time of Plenty? Health Plan Strategies for Growth in a More Challenging Market

New York – February 19, 2008

Health plans are emerging from an exceptionally good seven-year run of growth and financial performance that has generated significant capital for both for-profit and nonprofit health plans. Strong cash generation during the past seven years, attractive valuations of acquirers, and access to debt fueled an active M&A market during this period, which resulted in significant consolidation.

The latest white paper in Cain Brothers’ Strategies in Capital Finance series, which is titled “Farewell to a Time of Plenty? Health Plan Strategies for Growth in a More Challenging Market,” examines factors that are driving what is anticipated to be a more challenging managed care market environment and discusses four strategic priorities that respond to the challenges arising from the current market environment.

Court Houseworth, Managing Director of Cain Brothers said, “Our expectation is that the more consolidated health plan market will reward scale plans that do an excellent job in product innovation, care management, and operational execution. Those that can successfully differentiate themselves in this more competitive environment will have opportunities for growth.”
