AGENDA:

  • Employment report: Indicates accelerating demand for health care services
  • AMN Healthcare Services (AMN): Long thesis for AMN and Tenet Healthcare Corp (THC), Field Note comments from calls last week with operators
  • Davita Inc (DVA): A more compelling short? On Thursday, CMS sent to the White House for review a rule regulating third party payments to insurers on behalf of dialysis patients. According to a recent lawsuit in Florida, DVA contributes approximately $120 million to a third party, the American Kidney Fund, which, in turn, pays commercial insurance premiums for dialysis patients who receive about $400 million in services from DVA. As a result, about 10% of DVA's treatments account for 110-115% of its profit.
  • Healthequity Inc (HQY): When 48% of your revenue is derived from yield on custodial assets, a declining interest rate environment in Quad 4 can be a serious headwind
  • Health Care Employment Continues to Outperform: The May job report was a lackluster 75,000 increase MoM. However, the health care sector reported a 15,000 of that gain with most of is attributable to the ambulatory sector. Good news for THC and its USPI unit.
