[OC] Geographic Distribution of 2,500+ Urgent Care Centers Affiliated with Private Equity Across the United States

Here are 2,000+ urgent care clinics backed by private equity, revealing the scale of corporate acquisitions/partnership and private equity involvement in US healthcare.

Some interesting things I learned while gathering this data:

• 1 in 5 urgent care centers are owned by private equity, with an 11% jump in just the last year
• Post-acquisition, clinics show significant increases in charges per claim, volume of encounters, new patients seen, and billing practices
• Hold periods for these firms are getting longer and longer as they aren't able to exit due to interest environments, and so are turning to other measures like cost-cutting to realize returns

If you'd like to see if your local clinic is affiliated or how PE affects quality, access, pricing, etc., I made an interactive version with search functionality that can be found here: https://urgentcareownership.com/
