title: Securities backed by healthcare receivables.
abstract: Prudential Securities has placed $40 million in medium-term, taxable notes believed to be the first AAA-rated securities backed by healthcare receivables. Standard & Poor's Corp. rated the three-year notes, which were issued by NPF III, an Ohio company created to buy receivables from cash-strapped providers, and are backed by the Medicare, Medicaid and insurance receivables of 21 hospitals and healthcare providers nationwide.
