Physicians Practice Valuations & Appraisal | Sullivan Cotter and Associates

Health Care Reform and the challenging reimbursement environment is creating a wave of merger and acquisition activity among hospitals and physician groups. Hospitals and health care systems are aggressively acquiring physician practices to better position themselves to face reform and to maintain or grow market share. Understanding the true value of a physician practice is prerequisite to a successful integration that optimizes financial and operational performance. SullivanCotter’s Physician Practice Valuations Group has extensive experience evaluating and negotiating purchase and sale transactions of community-based and academic physician practices to ensure that clients receive objective advice and independent valuations.
