title: PPMs on the rebound. Companies learn from mistakes, develop new strategies.
abstract: Physician practice management companies, once Wall Street's darlings, are now running into the reality of risk contracts and declining reimbursements. Those and other roadblocks have reduced profits to a rumor for many companies. As a result, the industry is being forced to change its core strategies, while some observers even question whether PPMs will survive as relevant players.
