If you're purchasing a physician practice or any other type of Florida healthcare entity you must ensure that you have structured the acquisition in such a way that you are not inheriting the liabilities of the previous owner. To do so, you must conduct a thorough due diligence process and draft the appropriate agreements. In Florida, a purchaser is generally not liable for the debts and liabilities of the seller unless the purchaser expressly (or impliedly) agrees to assume such debts and liabilities. Successor liability has the potential to become an issue when you purchase any existing company. The purchaser has the option to limit the assumption of liabilities of the seller by structuring the acquisition in a specific way. By doing so, the purchaser won't be responsible for paying the seller's debts and liabilities. Typically, in a “stock” purchase you are responsible for all liabilities and debts of the company, while in an “asset” purchase you are only assuming those liabilities and debts that you specifically agree to assume. It is critically important that you hire an experienced business law attorney who has drafted these agreements specifically for healthcare entities. This attorney must conduct a thorough due diligence process which includes a lien and title search, review of recorded business loans and determine whether there are any outstanding state sales and gross receipt taxes.

"Most Americans have remained dangerously unaware of this revolution in health care. Being treated by a non-physician is not on the radar of the average patient, most of whom assume that anyone in a white coat is a physician. If patients do wonder about being treated by a non-physician, they are reassured that their nurse practitioner or physician assistant is “just as good” as a doctor, an idea reinforced by multi-million-dollar direct-to-patient advertising campaigns. But is care by nurse practitioners and physician assistants really as good as that of physicians?" Rebekah Bernard is a family physician. She is the co-author of Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare.

Tom Turmell, founder and managing director of TMT Capital Partners, spoke with Middle Market Growth about how health care entrepreneurs are looking to grow their businesses, and the common questions he hears about private equity, which continues to show strong interest in acquiring physician practices. In addition to his role at TMT, Turmell delivers and teaches a class to physician entrepreneurs at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, where he serves as director on the executive education team and as an academic director. During the interview with MMG, he described what his Physician CEO class covers, and the questions he's heard from his students about selling to a private equity buyer. Common concerns include loss of control, both in terms of the patient experience and in making key business decisions, as well as questions over future compensation for the doctors selling the practice and junior physicians alike. Some physicians recall a spate of failed physician practice investments by PE firms over a decade ago, but Turmell says the private equity industry has learned from those past mistakes. Choosing the right investment partner remains critical, and he suggests considerations for physicians to keep in mind as they evaluate potential investors. During the conversation, Turmell referenced an article published in MMG in May focused on physician practice M&A: https://middlemarketgrowth.org/the-round-private-capital-stitches-up-physician-practice-space/ That article was featured in a health care-themed edition of the magazine.

In this MGMA Insider podcast, senior editor Craig Wiberg speaks with Timothy Smith, CPA, ABV, Principal, TS Healthcare Consulting, LLC. According to MGMA’s Cost and Revenue data, nearly all health systems lose money on their physician practices while nearly all physician-owned practices breakeven or make a profit. Why do financial outcomes vary by owner/operator and what are implications for health systems of incurring such losses? In this podcast, Smith discusses the multiple reasons why health systems lose money on their practices. He also talks about why ongoing practice losses can pose financial and regulatory for risks and can impede long-term efforts to improve costs and move from volume to value. But he warns healthcare leaders, "Stop looking for a simple answer or a one-size-fits-all answer" because they do not exist. The reasons for physician practices losses are multiple and complex.

In its quest to transform 70 to 80 percent of its physician practices to a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) over the next three years, WellPoint has adopted a "meet the practices where they are" philosophy, reports Julie Schilz, director of care delivery transformation for WellPoint. Each practice is at a different place in the transformation effort and requires specialized supports, she adds. Smoothing the transformation rollout is the simultaneous participation of 500 WellPoint practices in CMS's Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) program, whose goals dovetail with key PCMH principles --- as though WellPoint had another partner in its transformation initiative, Schilz notes. Just as important as practice support is transparency with health plan members, Schilz adds, especially when it comes to explaining the concept of the medical home neighborhood --- where care coordination is a collaboration between primary care and the specialist. Ms. Schilz shared the key features of WellPoint's transformation initiative, including results from its pilot program that have led to a system-wide rollout, during an October 24, 2013 webinar, "Aligning Value-Based Reimbursement with Physician Practice Transformation."

In the face of healthcare reform and new models of care delivery such as the patient-centered medical home, primary care physicians don't have to fly solo anymore, advises Dr. David Eitrheim, a family physician with the Mayo Clinic Health System in Wisconsin. Dr. Eitrheim describes how his practice's team-based approach has changed the nature of the patient visit as well as the nurses' workload, and provides the secret to a productive patient visit. Dr Eitrheim will share how his practice made the transformation from a traditional practice to a team-based approach during "Redesigning the Physician Practice for Improved Efficiency and Increased Revenue," a 45-minute webinar on December 15, 2010.

A cultural change must be at the heart of any practice transformation, says Dr. Lonnie E. Fuller, medical director for the Pennsylvania Medicaid ACCESS Plus PCCM-DM Program. Dr. Fuller describes the attitude shifts that must occur and the enhanced patient experience that can result from a practice redesign. Even a practice that lacks sophisticated technology can make some basic improvements, he says, citing a free downloadable disease registry tool that can function as a data repository. Dr. Fuller and Dr. John Michos, medical director of the Virginia Health Quality Center, described the critical steps in physician practice transformation during a May 29, 2008 webinar, Physician Practice Transformation: Charting a Path Toward Increased Revenue and Improved Efficiency, Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes.

Redesigning a practice into one that is more efficient and patient-centered begins with a readiness assessment tool and goal-setting with key organization members, says Dr. John Michos, medical director of the Virginia Health Quality Center. The size of the practice can affect the approach to transformation. Smaller practices may find it easier to implement change, while larger practices may need to launch innovations on a small scale, then foster the spread of that success to other departments. Getting health IT and its associated efficiencies into a physician practice will help transform it into a medical home, but so will mapping communications processes for patient interactions such as phone calls, discharges and other situations.
