Fairness Opinions
Our finance team has performed fairness opinions in many complex transactions that involve multiple agreements and entities. These include fairness opinions for physician services, including medical directors, emergency department on-call coverage, professional service agreements, in-house coverage, and others.
We have accredited appraisers and experienced healthcare executives who understand the technical as well as operational aspects of healthcare organizations. Our fairness opinions and valuations frequently involve "carving out" departments or contracts from the hospitals, medical groups, or parent organizations. We are familiar with the Stark regulations, the IRS CPE guidelines for nonprofit organizations, Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and other relevant legislation and guidelines that provide direction for our work with fairness opinions. In addition, our fairness opinions include a Statement of Limiting Conditions that address the assumptions, conditions, and qualifications to which our analyses and conclusions are subject.
