An Overview of Private Equity Firm Acquisitions of Medical Practices

In this HealthLaw HotSpot episode, Roetzel health law attorneys and co-Hosts Ericka Adler and David Hochman, along with Larry Elisco, a partner in Wipfli LLP’s healthcare practice, provide informative guidance for medical practices looking to potentially be acquired by a private equity firm. Private equity firms are interested in these acquisition opportunities, so if an independent medical practice is looking to sell, there are certain steps they should take if they explore this option. Join the team as they discuss how the health care attorneys and accountants can facilitate introductions, ensure seller finances are in order, instruct on practice valuation, and most importantly, help the practice avoid pitfalls specific to the complex transaction of selling a medical practice.

Solid overview, me and my team are currently going through a potential private equity buy-out of our practices. Super helpful to know what the private equity firms have in mind!

Did you end up selling?

[@bryanh8292]

@@dman8557 No, I actually went and opened up an IPA with my current practice. I'd rather work harder to earn more by taking risk then to sell to private equity for a lump sum and have my staff and patients be treated as a number!
