How a default, or a covenant breach, on a borrower’s credit will affect hospitals will vary depending on several factors. Some factors include whether the breach occurred in conjunction with fundamental operating issues and the likelihood that the agreement violation will trigger an event of default and accelerated debt payment.
Moody’s said federal stimulus grant distributions that aim to support hospitals that have seen their revenues plummet will help mitigate the risk of a default on credit agreements.
