McBee Acts as Strategic Advisor to Amedisys for Acquisition of Asana Hospice

WAYNE, Pa., February 24, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​McBee is proud to partner with Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMED), America's leading independent home health, hospice and personal care company as the strategic advisor who assisted Amedisys in the successful acquisition of Asana Hospice.

"Amedisys has a strong culture of compliance and through their continued growth and success in the hospice market, McBee works closely with the Amedisys teams to ensure acquisition targets have the same commitment to compliance," said Mike Dordick, President of McBee.

In addition to expanding their care network with Asana, Amedisys closed the acquisitions of Compassionate Care Hospice and RoseRock Healthcare in 2019. Throughout the course of these transactions, McBee provided support to Amedisys by conducting clinical documentation and operational process reviews to provide regulatory and clinical operation insight. These reviews provided insight into potential regulatory and financial risk and the management and operational quality of the prospective acquisition.

McBee Merger and Acquisition Services are conducted by a team of clinical experts and include a detailed evaluation of clinical documentation to confirm its support of the reimbursement received based on Medicare billing regulations. McBee also conducts on-site visits to further evaluate a prospective acquisition's processes and culture. Over the past 24 months, McBee supported 17 publicly announced transactions with a combined total purchase price exceeding $2.1 billion.

"A trusted advisor is critical to the acquisition process. Whether it's conducting introspective diligence ahead of a process, or as a buyer to confirm the quality and overall risk of a target. Through numerous processes, we've found that partner in McBee," said Kris Novak, Vice President of Mergers & Acquisitions at Amedisys. "They empower us with the data necessary to make smart decisions on investments, and tailor specific integration plans for successful acquisitions."
