Medical practice valuation

Physician, dental and veterinary practices have been a major focus for private equity and group buyers. In healthcare, value depends heavily on who produces the revenue, how it is paid and whether the practice is compliant.

Owner's Guide

What Medical Practices owners need to watch before an exit

  • Owner producing most of collections
  • Coding or billing exposure
  • Real estate and lease terms tied to the owner
  • Non-compete and rollover terms you do not understand

Each of these can lower what a buyer will pay or add terms you don't want. The Blueprint measures where you stand and prioritizes the fixes most likely to increase your EBITDA multiple.
