Drug Distributors continue Vertical Integration Strategy as Cencora, Cardinal make Big Bets
Deals among PE-backed physician practice management players and strategic buyers (drug distributors in this case) are heating up.
On November 6, Cencora bought Retina Consultants of America (RCA) for $4.6B (an 85% stake and $500M in incentive payments).
- RCA serves 300+ retina specialists in 23 states and sees 2 million patient visits annually.
- Interestingly RCA specializes in clinical trials in research, which Cencora is sure to have an invested (literally) interest in.
- Through eventually owning both OneOncology and RCA, Cencora will look to build out a more integrated management services organization (an MSO, as our industry so fondly loves its acronym) to house its services subsidiary.
