At least 10 private equity-backed healthcare providers in the U.S. will go public in 2022, up from six in 2021, according to a Pitchbook report released Dec. 16.
5 things to know:
1. Private equity firms are going after public listings for their companies more than they ever have before, according to the report.
2. Value-based care — when providers are reimbursed depending on the patient outcome instead of the volume of services — is becoming more popular and has bipartisan support. Arlington, Va.-based Privia Health and Long Beach, Calif.-based Agilon Health, which have both adopted value-based care and are backed by private equity firms, went public in 2021.
