Description
The level of private equity investment in healthcare continues to climb. In 2022 it reached over $74 billion and the growth of private equity activity is expected to continue.
When private equity comes in, physician compensation arrangements often have to be restructured. When there is compensation restructuring, physicians are often expected to take less money and invest the balance in the business, enhancing its value. However, before determining the structure, it is important for counsel to understand the implications of the different options for restructuring.
Physician practices must seek to achieve scale and market share to compete for patients while managing costs. Further, as compensation is structured, it is critical to remain compliant with federal and state requirements and prohibitions.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys and valuation professionals examines different compensation structures and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The panel will also offer practices to ensure the compensation structures meet federal and state requirements. The panel will also discuss alignment strategies offered to healthcare providers.
