Skilled Nursing Reimbursement Under Trump Care
Record prices per bed for skilled nursing facilities don’t seem to make sense given the reimbursement changes looming. The skilled nursing acquisition market has been booming for the past few years, with back-to-back-to back record average prices per bed. But with all the uncertainty surrounding the future of Medicare reimbursement, not to mention Medicaid and the potential for block grants, it does seem odd that there is still so much interest in the skilled nursing market. Reimbursement, however, isn’t the only story, and there are many providers, despite the reimbursement uncertainty, who can take over a facility and still increase revenues, increase reimbursement rates and...

Real Estate vs. Business Value For Healthcare Properties
Acuity level can impact what is driving business value and real estate value in healthcare properties, something all lenders and investors should understand. The separating out of business value from real estate value in healthcare properties has always been a controversial issue. When lenders lend against the value of an LTAC or a skilled nursing facility, their security interest is really in the real estate, and not the business.

Should anyone care where the values lie if they are really looking at the full enterprise value? Absolutely. What happens if a facility is old, has... Read More »Schedule a demo
