the end of the third party biller auction?

Sources indicate Fiserv has terminated its efforts to sell third party biller Third Party Solutions thru Bank of America. This despite Fiserv’s interest in shedding non-core assets, begun under CEO Jeff Yabuki. While Fiserv may still entertain offers, it is unlikely any will approach the rumored goal of $275 million Fiserv was asking for TPS.
While more than a few private equity/venture firms assessed TPS, evidently no term sheets approached the desired valuation. Issues may have included concern about TPS’ “complicated” A/R situation.
Meanwhile, competitor WorkingRx is still for sale…
What does this mean for you?
A temporary continuation of the current awkward third party biller-pharmacy-PBM-payer struggle/business relationship.
