Protection Provisions to Employ: Breakup Fees and No-Shop Clauses

Leave a comment

The inevitable conversation about deal protection during ambulatory care center transactions can involve a bit of confusion.

Dallas, Texas, July 10, 2014 – The inevitable conversation about deal protection during ambulatory care center transactions can involve a bit of confusion. These terms, which are typically set up in the Letter of Intent (LOI), can for the most part be broken down into two specific types: breakup fees and no-shop clauses, also known as standstill agreements.

In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, a thorough explanation of what these terms mean and how they can best be applied is given. The article presents the opinions and advice of experts on the subject for those involved in or who are about to be involved in a healthcare transaction.

“Properly structured and negotiated termination fee provisions can help facilitate the urgent care or ambulatory surgery center transaction by ensuring that the buyers have done their home work prior to entering into the LOI,” explained Blayne Rush, President of Ambulatory Alliances, LLC. “In the event that the buyer walks for any reason not allowed in the LOI then the buyer receives a ‘consolation prize,’ if you will, that works to mitigate any damage done to the selling process.”

The Ambulatory M&A Advisor is an online publication that covers the most up-to-date trends and topics surrounding ambulatory care center deal making, including information on investment banking in the ambulatory care realm.

Will ACA have an effect on your Ambulatory Surgery Center?

Leave a comment

While concrete predictions are still difficult to make, the ACA has and will continue to impact the ASC market.

Dallas, Texas, April 13, 2014 – While concrete predictions are still difficult to make, the ACA has and will continue to impact the ASC market. In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, Carol Lucas of Buchalter Nemer, Dr. Greg Horner of Tri-Valley Orthopedic Specialists Inc., and Matt Burnstein, attorney at Waller Landsen Dortch & Davis, comment on the subject.

An increase in patient volume as a result of the ACA, as well as declining reimbursement rates, has resulted in a trend in 2013 of health systems acquiring a majority interest in physician-owned centers.

“Health systems are partnering with specialty surgery center operators and are acquiring surgery centers while leaving physicians with a 49% interest to keep them invested in the center’s success,” Lucas said.

According to attorney Burnstein, this allows the health system to thereby acquire higher reimbursement.

Dr. Horner sees the increase in patient volume as the biggest opportunity for ASCs going forward.

“The rapid up-phase in volume will be in 2014 when people are signing up for new insurance plans,” Dr. Horner said. “ASCs should take advantage and prepare for that volume. You won’t realize the volume if you don’t have some way to get the word out, and physicians have to be active in doing so.”
