title: What's a practice worth?
abstract: There are differing opinions as to the value of and acceptable valuation methods for valuing, a medical practice when it is acquired by a hospital or health system. This article discusses regulatory concerns, the interrelationship between physician compensation and practice value, why marginally profitable or unprofitable practices may still have value, and the approaches and methods to determine value.
