As health care consumerism takes hold, technology evolves, and the industry continues to prioritize value-based care delivery, the definition of “work” for physicians has changed — and the ways in which physicians are compensated have evolved as well. An often-overlooked form of physician compensation, however, is the benefits received through Management Services Organizations (MSOs) and Management Services Agreements (MSAs).

SullivanCotter joins McDermott Will & Emery to discuss how physician practices can position themselves for success in the new health care landscape.

In response to COVID-19, transaction activity among physician practices is expected to increase as they look for new capital partners to help ensure future sustainability. SullivanCotter highlights considerations for adjusting to this "new normal" and outlines important steps for developing a thoughtful and well-considered practice acquisition strategy.

SullivanCotter discusses how a systematic review of professional services agreements can help health systems better assess regulatory and financial risk, standardize contracting terms, and refine processes and oversight for contracting with providers.

Featured in the November 2018 issue of HFM magazine, Kyle Tormoehlen and Dina Unrath discuss how health systems must develop thoughtful strategies for evaluating physician practice acquisition opportunities due to the dwindling availability of acquisition prospects.
