Healthcare company bankruptcies spiked in 2023 amid high interest rates, rising labor and supply costs, and an uptick in denials from payers, according to a January report from healthcare restructuring firm Gibbins Advisors.
For example, Seventy-nine healthcare companies filed for bankruptcy in 2023—the highest number since 2019, which saw 51 bankruptcies, according to the report. The volume of bankruptcies last year was nearly 2x as high as 2022 and over 3x the level seen in 2021.
“We saw a dramatic increase in healthcare bankruptcy filings in 2023, continuing the trend which began in mid-2022,” Clare Moylan, co-founder and principal at Gibbins Advisors, said in a statement. “Key observations from 2023 are the return of large bankruptcy cases with over $100 million in liabilities, and a spike in hospital filings, both of which appear to primarily be a result of Covid-19 pandemic-related protections ending.”
