Program Description

Technical component or ancillary services in physician practices can present significant difficulties in preparing both business and compensation valuations. While ancillary services can generate substantial earnings, they usually involve referrals that are intensely scrutinized under healthcare regulations. As a result, appraisers face critical valuation issues in analyzing the economics of these services. To address these issues, a panel of healthcare valuation experts will work through key problems related to ancillaries in business and compensation valuations.

Learning Objectives

After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • Identify critical valuation and regulatory issues arising from ancillaries in physician practices
  • Analyze the key economic characteristics of ancillaries for valuation and compensation purposes
  • Develop a sound methodological framework for assessing ancillaries in business and compensation valuations
  • Employ valuation methods and techniques that avoid critical pitfalls and regulatory compliance issues
