Operational Assessment
Healthcare Market Assessment
Our Healthcare Market Assessment provides our clients with detailed and actionable market intelligence that can aid growing facilities and groups interested in expanding to identify desirable market areas where outpatient services are in greatest demand and have the greatest opportunity for financial success.
The assessment takes into consideration these metrics:
- Volume demand by modality and zip code
- Competition density
- Drive time analyses
- Demographic details
- Insurance coverage estimates
- Market growth
We can also perform a detailed market Capture Analysis to examine the projected volume estimates for a new or expanded service as well as a Reimbursement Analysis to assess the site-of-service average reimbursements for specific services. Together, these analyses consider competition saturation, drive times, pricing, and marketability to help build a financial proforma that will satisfy your partners or lenders.
Healthcare Valuation
Healthcare valuations establish a baseline value for medical practices, joint ventures, or outpatient centers to assist with a contemplated transaction.
Using our industry expertise and operational knowledge we can provide unique insights into the financial performance and revenue drivers of the business with the buyer or seller. We can assist practices in preparation for sales, mergers, joint ventures, acquisitions, and other transactions. Our Fair Market Valuation (FMV) expertise extends beyond practice valuations to include Professional Service Agreements, Management Service Agreements and partner buy-in / buy-out. FMVs are often required in healthcare transactions when any referral-based business is involved or when one party or the other may have tax-exempt status. Whatever your stance is in the contemplated transaction, RCCS will provide the information needed to make the most informed decision for your practice.
