Each state has different regulations for healthcare transactions. “States tend to see mergers between non-profits differently.

Recently, the healthcare industry has seen more for-profits – for-profit systems, hospitals and even private equity firms – acquiring non-profits. When a for-profit purchases a non-profit, the state review is more rigorous because of constitutional issues, protected service issues and even charitable asset issues. California Attorney General Kamala Harris denied the sale of non-profit Victor Valley (Calif.) Community Hospital to for-profit Prime Healthcare Service Foundation, run by Calif.-based Prime Healthcare Services. In transactions involving non-profits, the assets of all organizations involved are subject to review.

Non-profit status. The number of hospitals in a region may affect whether a merger appears reasonable to an attorney general. “Attorneys general want to see the community have interest and representation in a hospital board so the community, which needs the services of the non-profit entities, will remain protected,” says Mr. Peterson.

Community programs and services. “For instance, many non-profit hospitals have obstetrics departments for delivering newborns. Some hospitals close those departments due to malpractice issues or loss of profit. A merger may face rejection if the attorney general does not believe the proposed purchase is fair market value for the hospital or organization and its assets. Finally, an attorney general may look at the stability of the for-profit purchaser. Confidence in the entity to operate the hospital is necessary for state approval. If an attorney general determines the for-profit is not capable, they will not approve the merger.

The rejections of the University Hospital and Prime Healthcare transactions demonstrate the complexity of for-profit and non-profit transactions. Mergers involving dissimilar organizations mandate a more complicated state approval process.
