Resisting the Urge to Merge (Room Room 204)

Is independence still an option? There are fewer physicians in independent practices now than in the beginning of the decade. As reimbursement methodologies change, physicians are being sought after by health systems, large MSO-model practices and multi-specialty groups. What is the best option for a practice? Whether you remain independent or merge, there are several factors to consider. Attendees will discover what to consider when deciding whether to remain independent or merge, what the integration due diligence process is and alternative practice options. The session will compare single/multi-specialty/health system alignment, joint ventures, contracting with a MSO and more. Attendees will leave with the necessary tools to determine the best outcome for their practice.
