  • Title: Overcoming financing challenges with bond insurance.
    Author: Demby HJ.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1995 Mar; 49(3):48-9. PubMed ID: 10146150.
    Abstract:
    As the revenues of healthcare organizations continue to decline, finding ways to raise low-cost capital has become increasingly important. By incorporating municipal bond insurance into a finance plan, healthcare organizations can achieve sizable debt-service savings for both new-money projects and refunding transactions. Bonds insured by one of the major municipal bond issuers are enhanced and carry AAA ratings from Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Corp., and, in some cases, Fitch Investors Service. Thus enhanced, they can attract a broader range of investors than uninsured issuers and can make it easier for healthcare organizations to raise long-term capital in a cost-effective manner.
