Joint Ventures

The hospital industry has had a surge in specialty facilities, most with physician ownership. Many of these facilities have a healthcare system as a major or operating partner. These facilities also have their own special issues which are often compounded by the ownership structure. Many times an independent consulting firm can prevent stakeholder issues related to the reimbursement and financial operations.

Many of these services may assist you in providing the necessary financial management without the constraint of being a financial partner and the possible conflicts that can occur in joint ventures and other investor owned entities. These services can also provide the necessary compliance reviews to ensure consistency with regulations in order to safeguard the partners.

These services include:

• Reimbursement services
• Compliance and monitoring
• Financial and strategic consulting
• Specific tax issues of some of the partners
• Acquisition and recapitalization services
