As the market becomes more comfortable with the implications of health care reform, there will be industry consolidation. Dustin adds, though, it will likely take place in the insurance and provider side of the health care service industry before moving to med tech.
“The mandate has changed the economics for business in this industry, and with such a rapid influx of newly insured individuals, and a new payment structure, we are likely to see rapid industry consolidation,” he says. This means that buyers of med tech will be focused on consolidation– not implementing new technology.
