Buying a Medical Billing & Revenue Cycle Company business
Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated
a Medical Billing & Revenue Cycle Company can look attractive on headline earnings while asset condition, regulation, customer behavior, inventory, people or owner dependence materially change what the buyer actually owns.
How the business works
Recurring client contracts, provider concentration, collections performance, staff productivity, software/security and owner relationships determine value.
Risks to test
- Client concentration
- Owner-held provider relationships
- HIPAA/security exposure
- Software/vendor dependence
- Key biller/coder retention
- Contract termination rights
Evidence to request and reconcile
- Client contracts/revenue
- Retention/churn
- Staff productivity/payroll
- Security/compliance
- Software agreements
- Collections performance
Decision questions
- How quickly can clients terminate?
- Which relationships depend on owner?
- What security/compliance history exists?
- How productive are billers/coders?
- What software dependencies transfer?
