Hospital Consulting Services Principals and Associates at Arthur S. Shorr & Associates, Inc. are former senior hospital executives and former senior medical group administrators. We possess the insight and firsthand experience in Hospital/Physician economic relations, while appreciating the complexity of the goals and objectives of both parties. We are Economic Advocates for Private Practitioners. Successful Physicians and Hospitals are natural partners who must share the same economic agenda. Economic viability of hospitals and their associated physicians depends upon the establishment of mutually accepted objectives, while recognizing the sensitive burdens of the failed relationships and suspicions of the past. Our background and experience enables us to serve as independent third party facilitators, educators, and consensus builders who can establish the level of trust that is essential in order for hospitals and physicians to collaborate successfully within the context of todays economic environment.

Medical
Practice Operational Assessments are used
to:
Strategic Business Development To maximize success, physicians must offer Managed Care companies appropriate inducements. Usually, providers with the largest Provider Footprint succeed in contracting opportunities. This allows for the orderly replacement of patients who have left the practice, and expansion of the practice in order to maintain and enhance profitability. We assist physicians evaluate:
Medical Practice Appraisals Our Practice Appraisal and Valuations define and justify economic value. This is an essential element in any successful transaction in which a professional practice changes ownership. Appraisals are also used as the basis for buy-in of new associates, buy-out of retiring partners, the merger or consolidation of two or more practices, the charitable donation of a practice, or the division of community property. Our method includes a site visit to the practice, interview with the physician-owner and other key personnel, and review of the practice’s financial, operating, and demographic data. This information is analyzed within the context of the local medical community, and is synthesized to create a document that describes the practice and its value. IRS-approved methods are used, with all conclusions documented by definitive supporting data. The Appraisal assures all parties of an objective basis on which to begin their negotiations. Medical Practice Merger Acquistions & SalesArthur S. Shorr & Associates, Inc. has successfully consulted to both Buyers and Sellers in the complex tasks of buying, selling, or consolidating medical practices. Starting with a comprehensive Operational Assessment/Practice Appraisal, a detailed analysis of the practice is developed that is suitable for bank financing, probate, partnership valuation, merger, or sale. Market value is determined by analyzing potential growth, changes in reimbursement regulations, and understanding the dynamic impact of managed care and prospective reimbursement. Our services include:
Medicare Compliance Planning & Audits The Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996 provides funding for Medicare’s fiscal intermediaries to carry out increased audits of physicians’ Part B billings. The Compliance Program for Individual and Small Group Physician Practices, developed by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) requires that physicians:
Working with our experienced nursing associates, we provide complete Compliance Planning services, including chart documentation and billing review, ongoing audits, staff training, and development of policies, procedures, and a Compliance Plan structured to meet the OIG requirements. |
