  • Non-Economic Considerations for Private Equity Transactions

    Non-Economic Considerations for Private Equity Transactions

    Apr 1 2021

    Max Reiboldt joins Mark to discuss the non-economic terms to consider when pursuing a private equity deal. The non-economic components are often more important than the economic terms because they dictate the day-to-day after closing the deal.

    Episode Synopsis

    Max and Mark discuss their experience with private equity transactions and which non-economic terms to consider when pursuing a private equity deal. One of the lessons we impart to medical practice and hospital clients contemplating a private equity (PE) transaction is that both the economic and non-economic terms carry weight. They should receive equal consideration before signing on the dotted line.

    Episode Synopsis

    Many payers use the Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) as the foundation for their rates and how they set their conversion factor. Although the stimulus bill only affects Medicare reimbursement for physician professional services, the impact will extend beyond Medicare. The stimulus package provides support only during 2021, so the full 10% cut to the conversion factor is still expected in 2022.

    Medical groups need to analyze their financial impact through a CPT level revenue and wRVU compensation analysis. The important concept is compensation increases should not outpace reimbursement, meaning you can’t afford to pay more than your revenue allows.

    There are also fair market value (FMV) and commercially reasonable (CR) implications and issues to consider. The new regulations state that a hospital may not value a physician’s services at a higher rate than a private equity investor or another physician practice.
