Medical services industry

Article Abstract:

The medical services industry is gaining tremendous attention from financial market investors, despite an increasing amount of federal legislation that has the potential to significantly reshape certain aspects of the industry. Expected cuts to healthcare costs are expected to come primarily from the acute care hospital sector, and changes to the system of reimbursing skilled nursing may also cost the hospital segment. However, federal interference is expected to benefit the long-term profitability of the industry.

Medical services industry

Article Abstract:

Health maintenance organizations and managed care providers are having the same pricing cycles as others, but this should remain favorable in 1997 with consolidation and the 1998 Clinton budget. Mergers are also benefitting hospitals and physician practice firms, and a subacute care prospective payment system is expected from Medicare. Investors should select these stocks with care, even with good profit growth expected through 2000-2002.
