MSC – the deal is done

Sources indicate the deal for MSC is done; Odyssey is buying the big DME, home health and transportation/translation firm.
According to the official announcement, MSC has “entered into a definitive merger agreement” with imaging company OneCall Medical, (which in turn is affiliated with, STOPS, Express Dental to make up a work comp services firm that will rival long-time industry powerhouse Coventry in terms of sheer size. Terms won’t be published but the price will almost certainly be above $400 million.
With this acquisition Odyssey further positions its portfolio as a major player in the services industry; there are substantial synergies among and between the various services and product offerings that will make the combined entity a formidable competitor.
Current OCM CEO Don Duford will assume that title at the newly merged company, while MSC CEO Joe Delaney will be named President.
