Services
Introductory Consultation
Strategy and Engagement
Contact us today for a complimentary consultation. While some clients need immediate attention on an active transaction or negotiation, others are just beginning to evaluate opportunities for revenue diversification and growth. The sooner a practice engages our services, the better the results.
​
Our engagements are customized to meet your specific needs. Allow us to take inventory of your existing partnerships, restrictions, and contractual arrangements so that you can continue to focus on patient care.
Joint Ventures
Value, Voting Rights, and Liquidity
Considering a joint venture with one of the large dialysis providers? Unsure how to value the business or how to navigate the contemplated negotiation and approval process? Let us guide you.
Dialysis facility joint venture relationships have the potential to align incentives between physicians and institutional providers to increase patient satisfaction, promote efficient operations, and improve clinical outcomes.
With years of experience structuring, valuing, and negotiating joint venture relationships, our staff has the capabilities and expertise to help you evaluate your investment opportunities, negotiate fair terms, and customize the structure of your transaction to meet your specific practice needs.
Medical Directorships
Duties, Compensation, and Non-Competes
Under the CMS Conditions for Coverage (CfCs), the medical director became the ultimate authority responsible for all aspects of quality care delivered in a dialysis facility. Let us help you understand your rights and responsibilities as we negotiate favorable terms that reflect the uniqueness of your practice.
Real Estate
Selection, Development, and Lease Negotiation
The ownership, development, and maintenance of commercial real estate is a capital and time-intensive process. Allow us to help guide you through that process by evaluating potential real estate investment opportunities, reviewing lease terms, and helping you manage contractors, architects, and vendors.
