Physician Purchase & Sale - Newton's Law PA

Selling or buying a physician practice

Overview

Physician practice transactions move through the densest regulatory environment in healthcare. Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA, the Florida Patient Brokering Act, payor credentialing, and ancillary-service rules all touch the deal structure. We handle the documentation and the diligence with that complexity in mind, structuring transactions to fit within applicable safe harbors and exceptions.

What we handle

LOIs and MOUs
Asset purchase, stock, and membership-interest transactions
Stark and Anti-Kickback structural review
HIPAA and patient-record transfer documentation
Payor credentialing transitions
Associate physician employment, restrictive-covenant, and call-coverage agreements

Common pitfalls we plan around

Compensation arrangements that look like they reward referral volume
Ancillary-service ownership structures that fail Stark scrutiny
Patient-record transfer that mishandles HIPAA’s specific consent and notice requirements

Our Process

How Can Our Team Help You to Reach Your Goals

Pre-LOI (3–6 weeks)

Stark, Anti-Kickback, and CPOM structural review. Payor credentialing inventory. Ancillary-service relationships mapped.

LOI (2–3 weeks)

LOI captures structure that fits within Stark exceptions and Anti-Kickback safe harbors. Compensation and ancillary-service language tightly drawn.

Due Diligence (6–10 weeks)

Most diligence-intensive of the verticals. Compensation arrangements, ancillary-service ownership, HIPAA-protocol review, malpractice tail, prior settlement and disciplinary review, payor-credentialing detail.

Definitive Agreement (4–6 weeks)

APA drafted to fit applicable safe harbors and exceptions. Employment-physician agreements drafted with compliant compensation structures. Tail-malpractice coverage and indemnification scope tied to medical-malpractice risk.

Closing (1 day, sometimes 2)

Closing funds wire, license transfers, malpractice-coverage transitions, payor credentialing handoff.

Post-Closing (6–24+ months)

Payor re-credentialing for the buyer, clinical transition (often longest among verticals due to physician-patient continuity), earn-out monitoring.
