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.
