The recent credit debacles caused by the subprime mortgage mess and over-leveraged private equity transactions will certainly be remembered as we look back on 2007.   The current wild gyrations in the financial markets have jeopardized several large mergers and acquisitions deals and severely depressed the stock of a number of leveraged buyout firms.

But how is this affecting M&A’s in the managed care industry?   Are deals are becoming more strategic as a way to add new capabilities and/or market share?

Hear from experts at two leading investment banking companies that focus on mergers & acquisitions services in the healthcare industry for both providers and payors and the top managed care segment credit analyst from Standard and Poor’s to learn the current trends in M&A’s, what are the issues, what acquirers are seeking in a suitable fit, the strategic buyer's interests, and, finally, the impact on providers in a consolidated market.

Discover what the future may hold for health plan M&A’s in the months and year ahead!   Join The Managed Care Information Center for “Mergers and Acquisitions in the Managed Care Industry: The Trends, Issues and Impact for 2008,” a special 90-minute audio conference that took place in December 2007
