One of the most common mistakes before a sale is slowing down too early. A practice that is winding down loses patients, revenue, and value right when a buyer is looking at the numbers. Continuing full patient care until retirement, documenting ownership transitions in a buy/sell agreement, and having a will, living will, and healthcare proxy in place all protect the value you built.

Private equity firms are actively acquiring medical and dental practices, often targeting three to five times their return over a three to five year period. That can mean a higher purchase price and possible tax advantages for the seller. It can also mean less autonomy, employment terms that may not be permanent, and significantly lower ongoing compensation. In New York, these deals must also be structured around the prohibition on the corporate practice of medicine, typically through a management company. Know the trade-offs before you sign.

Most physicians and dentists spend decades building a practice and only a few months planning how to leave it. A successful transition usually takes five years or more: bringing on an associate who can eventually buy in, securing a long-term assignable lease, and keeping equipment and EMR systems current so the practice holds its value. The earlier the plan starts, the more options you have when it is time to step away.

An Audit Is About More Than the Amount Being Repaid

When a third-party payer challenges a physician’s billing, the immediate concern is often the repayment demand.

But an audit may also raise broader questions involving documentation, coding practices, payer relationships, and future reimbursement.

That makes it important to look beyond the dollar figure and understand the larger implications for the practice.

Third-Party Payor Audits Can Turn Small Findings Into Large Demands

A payer may review only a limited number of charts and then use its findings to calculate a much larger alleged overpayment.

That is one reason physicians should take retrospective audits seriously from the first records request.

Understanding what is being reviewed, how the payer reached its conclusions, and what response options may be available can become critical when substantial reimbursement is at stake.

Self-Auditing Can Reveal Problems Before a Payer Does

One of the most practical components of healthcare compliance is internal auditing.

Reviewing a sample of records can help determine whether documentation supports the services billed, whether coding is accurate, and whether potential compliance issues need corrective action.

Finding an issue internally provides an opportunity to understand it and respond before it becomes part of an external audit.

A Compliance Plan Should Be a Working System

A compliance plan should not be a document that sits untouched after it is created.

Effective compliance requires ongoing monitoring, education, auditing, clear responsibility, and a process for responding when potential problems are identified.

Healthcare regulations and practice operations change. A compliance program should be capable of changing with them.
