Market Concentration

The market is moderately concentrated, with the top 4 facilities controlling over 75% of the total IRF volume. This indicates a mature market where growth must come from market share capture (taking from competitors) and leakage reduction (capturing SNF patients), rather than organic market growth.

Strategic Implication

In the Greater New Orleans market (Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard parishes), United Medical HealthWest is strategically positioned on the West Bank in Gretna to capture referrals from West Jefferson, Ochsner West Bank, and community hospitals. The priority is to intercept SNF-bound patients who qualify for IRF care and strengthen case manager relationships at key referring facilities across the three-parish area.
