Ziegler Advises Hospicelink on its Recent Merger with StateServ Holdings
CHICAGO (PRWEB) February 15, 2018 -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce it has served as financial advisor to Hospicelink, based in Birmingham, AL, on its merger with StateServ Holdings. The transaction was announced on January 29, 2018.
Hospicelink was founded in 2011 by a team of DME, hospice, and technology veterans who believed there were better ways to manage DME spend while enhancing patient care. Hospicelink has created a nationally recognized, award winning technology and service organization specifically designed to enhance and foster the unique relationship between hospice companies and DME providers. Historically, DME ordering and management was characterized by a lack of transparency and accountability between hospices and DME providers - orders were faxed or called into the DME, invoices were inaccurate and late, costs were unmanaged and difficult to control, and larger hospices were having to manage multiple DME providers across the nation. As a result, Hospicelink has the unique ability to serve as an advocate for both hospice and DME clients. Hospicelink enables a healthy, symbiotic relationship between hospices and DME providers to ensure the highest quality patient care at the best possible price.
Founded in 2004 and based in Tempe, AZ, StateServ is a durable medical equipment (DME) benefit management provider offering the leading technology-enabled cost containment platform for the post-acute care market. Through a national network of 1,300 DME provider locations, along with 21 company-owned warehouse facilities, StateServ offers the full spectrum of DME benefit management solutions to more than 550 hospice providers in 46 states. StateServ's mission is to use technology and optimized processes to help its customers provide the best possible care for patients while giving them the tools they need to drive efficiency.
Chris Hendrickson, Managing Director in Ziegler's Corporate Finance Healthcare practice commented, "Hospicelink's platform data analytics provide meaningful efficiencies and transparency to the hospice segment and I anticipate these attributes will deliver a meaningful value proposition to other DME marketplaces." Ziegler was involved in supporting Hospicelink in new client development and was engaged to exclusively advise the Company in 2017.
