title: Hospital and ambulatory surgery center syndications: selling interests to physicians.
abstract: Physician ownership in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers remains a relatively surefire method of protecting a portion of a facility's revenues. Implementation of a plan to broaden physician ownership requires compliance with legal and regulatory schemes. This article discusses the prototypical business terms of such transactions, outlines the process for completing such syndications, and analyzes the legal statutes that must be complied with in implementing the effort.
