Strategically Expanding Insurance Company Board Expertise with Physical Therapy Focus

The PE firm sought to enhance the board of its insurance portfolio company with individuals who had extensive experience in commercial insurance in the northeast US, specifically those familiar with physical therapy business partnerships and contract negotiations.

The challenge was to locate senior executives from large commercial insurers who had direct involvement with physical therapy businesses. These individuals needed to be adept in contract negotiations and capable of providing strategic insights and value creation on the payer side.

BluWave leveraged its network to identify senior executives from prominent commercial insurance companies and health systems with specific experience in managing outpatient physical therapy relationships. The focus was on professionals who had a strong network and understanding of the commercial insurance space, particularly as it relates to physical therapy.

The PE firm successfully appointed a board member who brought a wealth of knowledge and experience in commercial insurance and outpatient physical therapy. Their expertise in contract negotiations and payer relationships provided valuable perspectives and strategies for the company, enhancing its ability to navigate the complex insurance landscape effectively.
