THE PROBLEM

More and more private practice physicians are growing frustrated with the demands of running the business side of their clinics.

IN A NUTSHELL

The Odds are Stacked Against You

Private practice physicians face mounting challenges—declining reimbursements, rising labor costs, and increasing corporatization of healthcare. Unfortunately, yesterday’s solutions won’t solve today’s problems. The good news? There’s a better path forward.

Troubling Trends

1. Declining Reimbursements - For many procedures, Medicare rates decline by roughly 3% annually, with private insurance following. Over time, this erosion adds up—and if your strategy relies solely on seeing more patients or just doing more of the same procedures, you're likely on a fast track to burnout.

2. Rising Labor Costs - Top-tier healthcare staff are in high demand, and keeping them requires regular raises. With cost of living increasing by 3% or more each year, stagnant revenue puts pressure on margins—potentially eroding the financial benefits of practice ownership.

3. Growing Corporate Competition - As healthcare corporatizes, your competition grows stronger. Large systems have entire departments for billing, marketing, HR, and contract negotiation—and with AI adoption accelerating, their operational advantages are only expanding.

4. Low Exit Multiples - Many physicians are shocked at the low valuations when it’s time to sell. Private practices often trade for modest multiples, largely because buyers are typically other providers purchasing a job—not a scalable business.

5. Predatory Consolidators - Private equity sees opportunity in buying undervalued clinics, bundling them together, and selling at higher multiples. While some platforms are legitimate, many prioritize investor returns over physician legacy—and often overpromise while underdelivering--and can waste a TON of time and energy.

6. Loss of Autonomy - We call it "McMedicine": care dictated by spreadsheets, not clinicians. Many independent-minded providers fear the loss of decision-making power, and rightly so—corporate models can often compromise the way medicine is practiced.

Answer: We target a 20–35% IRR through our Clinic SPV rollup strategy, driven by real EBITDA growth and targeted exit multiples ranging from 10x to 16x. Investments are structured as convertible debt with built-in equity kickers, offering strong long-term upside. The result is a return profile competitive with traditional private equity—but backed by a model that promotes stronger physician alignment and collaboration, both now and into the future.
