Following its acquisition of a private‑pay nurse registry business, the PE firm’s portfolio company needed a detailed market study to evaluate the unique 1099 nurse registry model in Florida compared to other home healthcare models. The study would cover payer mix, caregiver and patient demographics, growth drivers, and competitive dynamics to inform two transformative add‑on deals closing soon.
With only 90 days to close the acquisitions, the firm required a diligence partner capable of delivering a multi‑layered market evaluation on a tight timeline and within a set budget. The scope included private‑pay vs. insurance models, Medicare/Medicaid agency comparisons, caregiver supply and socioeconomics, patient acquisition channels and competitive landscape – including emergent digital platforms impacting market share.
BluWave quickly provided a shortlist of commercial due diligence firms with proven expertise in home‑based healthcare and nurse registry models. Each firm had experience with AHCA regulations and could tackle both qualitative and quantitative analyses. BluWave’s introductions enabled the client to review detailed proposals and select the provider best suited to meet their timing, scope and budget requirements.
The selected diligence partner delivered a concise, execution‑focused report covering market size, growth forecasts, payer dynamics and competitive positioning. These insights empowered the client’s leadership to refine acquisition targets, negotiate deal terms with confidence, and develop a clear post‑close integration roadmap – ensuring a successful expansion of their nurse registry platform.
