Frequently Asked Questions
How do ASCs value a departing surgeon partner?
ASC valuations typically use EBITDA multiples (4-8x) or per-operating-room values. Buy-sell agreements should establish valuation methodology in advance and be funded with adequate life insurance to avoid disputes during an emotional time.
What happens to an ASC's CMS certification if the medical director passes?
CMS certification requires a designated medical director. Key person insurance provides funds to recruit a qualified replacement quickly, covering interim operational costs and recruitment expenses during transition.
