Cano Health Acquires Doctors Medical Center For $300 Million
Cano Health’s goal is to become the largest independent primary care
Cano Health is a population health company that offers quality primary care. The company has 18 medical centers located in southern Florida. It projects full-year revenue of $194 million in 2021 and $106 million for the second half of that year. The company also anticipates revenue growth of thirty to forty percent in the next five years. It recently announced its agreement to get University Health Care for $600 million.
The company plans to expand its services to the entire country. bringing its medical model to other states. It currently runs 126 medical centers in nine states and covers Medicare and Medicaid programs. It also has a network of telehealth, home and pharmacy services, and life support.
Humana has the right of first refusal on the Cano sale. Cano is Humana’s largest independent primary care provider in Florida. serving over 68,000 Humana members. Humana has been building up its risk-based capabilities in recent years, and this is a move that could potentially make Humana’s acquisition of Cano Health a reality.

Cano Health is a value-based health plan with more than 103,000 members and a network of 564 primary care physicians. It operates in 14 markets and offers services to Medicare Advantage members.

Its CenterWell Senior Primary Care unit recently joined forces with a private-equity firm. Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe to open 100 primary care clinics that focus on senior care.
Humana and Cano Health are also building a new primary care center in Las Vegas. that will serve the Medicare population.

Cano Health has a significant presence in the Medicare Advantage (MA) market. The company’s members in this program represent 44% of its total membership. This represents a massive revenue opportunity for Cano. According to Bloomberg, CVS, and Humana are interested in buying Cano. The two companies share a right of first refusal.
Cano Health plans to go public through a special-purpose acquisition vehicle (SPAC) in 2020. It is estimated to have a valuation of $4.4 billion. However, the company has already faced several shareholder activist attacks this year. One of them is Dan Loeb’s Third Point LLC, which owns a 5% stake in the company. In March, Loeb said that Cano should explore strategic alternatives.
