Physician Practice Merger Myths

Written by Reed Tinsley | March 1, 2019

I have been involved facilitating a lot of physician group practice mergers. Based on my experiences, the following are a few merger myths you should keep in mind:

  • Billing Will Improve
  • Overhead Will Go Down
  • Staff Will Be Cut
  • Reimbursement Will Increase
  • Behavior Will Change
  • Higher Priced Management is Better Management

HOWEVER to have SUCCESS, remember this:

  • Leave Your Ego at the Door
  • Be Ready to Compromise
  • Make the Hard Decisions Early
