Funding to Support Nationwide Expansion of Coordinated Careand Patient-centric Model

LAKE NONA, Fla. – InnovaCare Partners, (“InnovaCare” or “the Company”), a regional leader in integrated and value-based healthcare services, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement for a significant majority investment from Bain Capital Private Equity. The new partnership will accelerate the Company’s growth and enable InnovaCare to scale its innovative, physician-led model to enter key markets nationwide. Financial terms of the private investment were not disclosed.

InnovaCare will continue to operate under the leadership of President and CEO Dr. Richard Shinto, CFO Doug Malton and the current management team, who will retain significant ownership in the business. Summit Partners, which has been an investor in InnovaCare since 2019, will also retain equity ownership in the Company.

A leader in transforming care delivery, InnovaCare combines physician-led care models with cutting-edge technology and a focus on personalized, coordinated care to manage and improve the health of patient populations. InnovaCare’s integrated primary care provider network treats more than 250,000 patients annually, and the Company also supports physicians who collectively serve more than 27,000 Medicare Advantage members.

“We believe we are playing an important role in defining a new standard of excellence in healthcare and have the potential to do so at scale across the country,” said Shinto. “We are excited that Bain Capital Private Equity is joining Summit Partners as our trusted partners who share our mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality and innovative care. Our ‘meet the doctors where they are’ approach resonates well with local providers because it gives them the roadmap and technology to support high quality outcomes while leaving the patient care decisions where they belong – with the physician. Our model recognizes that every market and practice has unique dynamics, calling for a tailored approach to care delivery.”

“Rick and his talented team have done an impressive job building InnovaCare into a leader at the forefront of improving healthcare delivery and have a proven track record of coordinating care and positively impacting the lives of patients, physicians and communities through innovative, value-based care,” said Chris Gordon, a Managing Director at Bain Capital Private Equity.

“Enabling, supporting and partnering with physicians in the transition from fee-for-service to value-based care is one of the most quality-enhancing trends in healthcare today, and we believe InnovaCare is well-positioned to accelerate this transformation,” added Andrew Kaplan, a Principal at Bain Capital Private Equity. “We look forward to deploying our resources and experience to support the management team as they build a national platform that will increase patient access to high-quality, affordable care.”

Bain Capital has deep experience investing to support the growth of leading healthcare companies, including Aveanna Healthcare, Beacon Health Options, Cerevel Therapeutics, Grupo Notre Dame Intermedica, HCA Healthcare, IQVIA, QuVa Pharmaceuticals, Surgery Partners, U.S. Renal Care, Waystar and Zelis, among others.

“Over the past few years, InnovaCare has meaningfully scaled into a regional leader as a partner of choice for physicians and payors focused on providing members with high-quality care,” said Doug Malton, CFO of InnovaCare Partners. “We believe InnovaCare is poised for continued success and national expansion, and we are excited to continue our partnership with Rick and his team and welcome Bain Capital to help accelerate the Company’s next chapter of growth,” added Darren Black, a Managing Director at Summit Partners.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including requisite regulatory approvals. Committed financing for the transaction is being led by Benefit Street Partners LLC.
