Viper has completed over $4 billion in deals outside of the cardiology space, and now has several surgical cardiology and subspecialty groups under contract. 

Viper plans to enter the industry due to a low concentration of private equity in cardiology, an aging population and new changes to Medicare and Medicaid rules. 

“We have been watching this area for a couple years and feel the time is perfect to bring our experience to this exciting space,” Samir Qureshi, Viper’s vice president, said in a Jan. 19 press release. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
