Tenet Health

What Tenet Health does

Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) is a publicly traded, investor-owned healthcare delivery system headquartered in Dallas, Texas, operating across three core segments: Hospital Operations, United Surgical Partners International (USPI), and Conifer Health Solutions. The Hospital Operations segment runs 50 acute care and specialty hospitals plus approximately 160 outpatient centers across nine US states, delivering fee-for-service acute and specialty care funded by commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. USPI is the largest ambulatory surgery platform in the United States, operating more than 535 ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals through joint ventures with over 50 not-for-profit health systems and thousands of physicians. Conifer Health Solutions is a healthcare-focused revenue cycle management and value-based care services business serving 660 client organizations and managing $25 billion in annual net patient revenue.

Revenue is generated through three distinct mechanisms: per-procedure and per-admission hospital billing, ambulatory surgical facility and professional fees at USPI sites, and contractual service fees at Conifer. The company is pursuing an active portfolio reshaping strategy—divesting acute care hospitals while acquiring ambulatory surgery centers—and has embedded AI tooling into its operations through partnerships with Commure (ambient clinical documentation) and Google Cloud (revenue cycle automation). A Global Business Center in Manila, Philippines, provides shared corporate and administrative services across all three segments. In FY2025, the company reported $21.3 billion in net operating revenues and guided to $4.485–$4.785 billion in adjusted EBITDA for FY2026, with a leverage ratio of 2.24x as of Q1 2026.

• Community Health Systems: For-profit operator of acute care hospitals in non-urban and suburban markets. Comparable to Tenet's residual hospital footprint with similar exposure to Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement and labor cost pressure.
• Surgery Partners: Operator of ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals in partnership with health systems and physicians. Directly competes with USPI in the high-growth ASC segment with a similar joint-venture go-to-market model.
• Ardent Health Partners: Investor-owned health system operating acute care hospitals and ambulatory services across select U.S. markets. Comparable regional hospital operator competing for similar patient populations and physician alignment opportunities.
• R1 RCM (now TowerBrook/CD&R-owned): Healthcare revenue cycle management company serving hospitals and physician groups. Direct competitor to Conifer Health Solutions in outsourced RCM services for hospitals, health systems, and physician practices.

Broad incumbents

• Optum (UnitedHealth Group): Diversified healthcare services and RCM/payer-services platform. Competes with Conifer in revenue cycle management and increasingly with USPI through Optum's care delivery and ambulatory investments.
