Research and Markets: Cape Coral, FL Healthcare Market Overview

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/x8slhg/cape_coral_fl) has announced the addition of Decision Resources, Inc's new report "Cape Coral, FL Healthcare Market Overview" to their offering.

The area's dominant health system, Lee Memorial Health System, is fortifying its presence in southwest Florida, with plans to construct a $250 million freestanding patient tower for its pediatric hospital, the only such facility between Tampa and Miami. Rumors are swirling about the health system acquiring Lehigh Regional Medical Center, the only hospital in the county that it doesn't own. The moves should allow LMHS to get even tougher in its contract negotiations with health plans. The planned expansion of managed Medicaid in Florida, along with federal efforts to increase Medicaid eligibility and enforce the individual mandate, should provide an influx of membership to area health plans. Accountable care organizations remain on the distant horizon, with much of the patient base being snowbirds coming from up north in winter
