How Private Equity Is Buying Up Ambulance Services

Private equity has rolled up veterinary clinics, car washes, and funeral homes. Now it's coming for the ambulance. In this episode, Lucas walks through the economics of emergency medical services and why PE firms are buying up private ambulance operators across the country. He explains how Medicare reimbursement rates work, why rural ambulances are struggling, and how roll-ups like Global Medical Response and Priority Ambulance have consolidated the industry. Luna pushes back on whether consolidation actually improves response times or just raises prices for patients. They also discuss the tension between public 911 systems and private equity-backed transport services. If you've ever wondered who owns the ambulance that shows up when you call 911 — this episode has the answer. #PrivateEquity #AmbulanceServices #EMS #EmergencyMedicalServices #HealthcareConsolidation #GlobalMedicalResponse #PriorityAmbulance #MedicareReimbursement #RollUpStrategy #PEInvesting #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HealthPolicy #911Services #RuralHealthcare #Paramedicine Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
