Abstract:
In April 2022, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publicly released datasets on hospital and skilled nursing facility (SNF) mergers and acquisitions, consolidation, and other changes of ownership transactions dating back to 2016. Publication of these data supports the Administration’s goal of improving transparency and accessibility of information that can be readily used for research to help address questions about how ownership structures in these markets are changing, the extent of market consolidation, and whether those changes affect access to care, quality, and prices. A recent report released by ASPE found frequent changes of ownership in hospitals and SNFs between 2016 and 2021, with wide variation across states, and that ownership changes among hospitals were more common in medium and larger hospitals, and hospitals with low profit margins. This brief focuses on change of ownership transactions for SNFs and analyzes variation by geographic location and quality of nursing homes being sold.
